| Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice |
| Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit. Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control? The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make? Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go? You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

The Daily Prophet Year 3: Day 4 – Hogsmeade Visit Ministry Mishandles Murder Case Ministry lets Murderer slip through grasp by Neveah Harvest. A n investigation into the murder of a popular wizarding family is bungled by the ministry. The Prophet's own investigation has found that the ministry had been on the tail of the suspected murderer. The McDonald's where a well known family due to David McDonald, who was a famous beater for the Ballycastle Bats in the 70's. The tragic death of his grandson, James McDonald, was a tragic blow for the team, as he was an up-and-coming chaser for the Bats. Fears have already been spread through the rest of his team and family members as the Daily Prophet's expert in criminal matters assures us that this was not a one off, and that it was likely to be targeted over the family connection or over quidditch and was likely to have involved some sort of gambling schemes. "It was likely to have been a targeted murder to do with corruption within the quidditch league. I'm sure James knew something. It makes sense. The Ministry must order a clean up of the league. It must be the next step they take" the expert, who chose to remain un-named. Meanwhile this reporter was on the scene as members of the ministry tracked down the suspected murderer's place of residence: my team just happened to be there when it all went down. Spells flew in every direction. Our investigation team watched on as the fight broke out as ministry officials arrived on the doorstep of the accused--whose name has not been available for release yet. After several hours the ministry officials were over powered and the murderer escaped. Luckily none of the team of reporters where injured. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Editorial News concerning the news by Charlie Johnson S o this column was my idea, so that I could post announcements concerning The Prophet without cluttering up the forum with them, and perhaps maybe somebody will notice when I say things about the paper (instead of me mentioning something in the c-box and everyone ignoring it). I would also like to recognize, in this section, those who took the time to contribute to this issue, so Gia Rupes, Tristan Nightshade, and John Holland, you have my thanks. Keep up the good work, guys! (Note: Gia, I did change around some things about your article, but I don't think I changed anything that wouldn't get the same point across. Though I merely wished to make it a bit more interesting, if you do have a problem with it, contact me and I we will fix it together.) But now to the main announcement: I've recently had the idea to post, along with all the articles, a ‘letters to the editor' section. In this section, I will post letters that have been sent to me, and will answer some. Anyone got a gripe with what the Prophet has been saying? Does a student, Professor, a student's parent, or — hell — some random person you just made up have a question or wish to share their thoughts on a certain article? Then send them to me, but make sure they are relevant to the goings on in the RP, and are IN CHARACTER. I won't post all of them (especially if they suck), but I ask that you all at least give this a shot and together we can let the voices of the wizarding world be heard. Now I now that the Prophet is rather short now, but with this and other additions I'm planning to introduce, the Prophet may well double in size (more on that next issue). In closing: I am happy that Tristan has entrusted me with this task, and am more than glad to do it. Keep those contributions coming, people! (Also Note: In regards to the contribution of articles, I've been getting a lot of articles sent to a number of my different characters. I would ask that you only send them to the "Charlie Johnson" account, as it is terribly annoying to have to switch users to get all the articles I've been sent (or having to forward them all to one in-box). Thank you for your consideration.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not-So-Well-Known Closter Attacked Thirty-Eight Muggles found dead by Emily Rupes Some thirty-eight muggles were found dead this morning, by what appears to by a muggle attack, as each and every monk in the monastery was found with their throats slit while still in bed. However, it seems odd that muggle attackers would use knives rather than their firelegs (Editor's Note: Are we sure that's what they're called?—Charlie)—a kind of metal wand used by muggles to kill people—as that is what muggles tend to do when they want someone—especially a lot of someones—dead. Formina Roots, the woman who found the poor monks, had this to say: "It was terrifying, you see," said Roots to The Prophet hours after discovering the entire monastic order dead, "I was, like usual, examining the places around the town I live in. I knew very well that the Closter Monks always put candles in the windows before going to bed. Well, I noticed that the top tower hadn't been lit in two days, and yesterday, not a single light was put on. I knew that Monks don't give up traditions, so I went over to check. They were dead, every single one. When I came to the tower I heard growling and ran off. It was terrifying!" As the call was made by a witch, Ministry Aurors were ordered on the scene. So far, they have only been able to conclude the time of death (sometime in the early morning). The Ministry, having concluded that this was indeed the work of muggles as there was little to indicate any implications of magic in this case, has since cleared the Closter—which is reported to have also housed a pack of wolves—and allowed muggle law enforcement officials to investigate the scene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ St. Mungo's Brainwashed my Child! Claims Cherrybrook resident by Gregory Gilmore In a startling tell-all story, Ms Leanne Pinkerton of Cheerybrook has approached the Daily Prophet with a startling accusation: that St Mungo's hospital has brainwashed her child. When asked how they achieved this, the distraught mother reveals, "It's those damn blood replenishing potions! There's something in them where they can control your mind! I took my daughter in for treatment after she cut open her leg playing with a knife and they gave her a Blood Replenishing potion and ever since she's become moody, rebellious, hormonal and doesn't listen to a word I say!" We asked Ms Pinkerton why she believed St Mungo's would want to brainwash her child, "It's obvious! They want her to keep hurting herself so they can treat her and get more money. Greedy scumsuckers!" The Daily Prophet does not support or deny these claims but sort a comment from the reputable Hospital itself. Healer Timmins (56) laughed off the claims, "The Blood Replenishing potion is a common medical tool with no adverse side effects. St Mungo's has added nothing to its ingredients and it will NOT brainwash you." It was later revealed that the daughter in question is aged 13, prompting suggestions from notable figures that perhaps the girl is moody and rebellious because she has entered puberty. "That's nonsense! Whoever heard of ‘puberty' anyway! St Mungo's is out to brainwash us all and I will not stop until I've bought every single one of them down!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Magical Games and Sports Quidditch Wrap-Up By Hope Vega In what can honestly be described as one of the greatest weeks in Quidditch history, some truly remarkable games were played out. Table toppers Chudley Cannons faced off their 3rd placed rivals, the Tutshill Tornadoes, in what some have dubbed the greatest game of all time. With neither side allowing the other to build much of a lead, the scores remained within 30 points of each other the entire match, which lasted a massive eight hours. Some truly remarkable saves from both Keepers and some of the best teamwork by the Chasers made this game a true spectacle to watch. In the end one team had to triumph and to many die-hard Cannons supporters it was the ultimate upset. Tornadoes Seeker Stangleburg just beat rival Seeker Smith to the snitch in a death-defying dive from some 400 feet high that saw each trying to push their Rival away from the Snitch. But in the end Stangleburg proved triumphant giving the Tornadoes a win and finally ending the winning streak of the competition favorites. No one who watched the match could leave without feeling they received definite value for money. In keeping with the tag of the greatest week of Quidditch in its history, The Banchory Bangers slaughtered the Arrows by catching the snitch after only five minutes, with Seeker Lightfoot snatching the Snitch right from under his opponent's nose. Another tight game between the Harpies and the Bats saw another upset with 2nd place Harpies being beaten by the Bats and much to many people's delight, cellar dwellers the Kenmare Kestrals notched their first win of the season against the Wasps. In all a truly amazing round of Quidditch that saw some tremendous matches and some truly unusual upsets. Teams---------------P------W-----L-----D------PF-------PA%------Points 01.
