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?

"Come in!" The professor called, taking a seat once more at his desk. OOC: Sorry to be so brief. I have previous engagements.

"Good morning, Charles. I hope I'm not troubling you so early, but I'm in need of your help immediately." Nate did not think well of the man but as a mature adult he could still speak civilly and avoid confrontation at any cost. Looking about the room he knew he had come to the right man; the office was drastically different to when it had first been established, owing to the adept level of magic Charles possessed. The room would periodically morph, melt, change or shift into something else, for whatever reason that eluded Nate. Charles was definitely talented enought o assist him with his task.

Charles pondered, turning back towards his desk and reaching into one of the drawers. As it opened, there appeared a large assortment of expensive-looking cigars organized in what seemed to be a certain manner. He took one out that was smaller than the others and placed it in between his lips. Turning back to Nate, he tilted his head. "Cigar?" Charles was trying to be civil even after what happened a few days ago. He wouldn't forgive and he wouldn't forget, but he could not allow his memories get in the way of what was happening in the present.

Deputy Headmaster & Transfiguration Professor Posts: 768 Group: Ravenclaw Head of House Member #122 Joined: Mar 20 2007	Nate eyed off the cigars but accepted wordlessly. Nate did enjoy the finer things in life and though not a regular smoker, did enjoy a fine cigar when the opportunity arose. Knowing Charles, these would be some of the best available. He lit the end and breathed deeply, enjoying the taste in his mouth, exhaling slowly. "Thank you. I need your help. This business with the centaurs and the red caps and the two deaths has gone far enough! We need to restrengthen the school wards but I need someone to come with me also of considerable raw magical ability. You." He drew again deeply on his cigar, enjoying the taste he had not tasted since beginning his role as Professor. He had decided it wasn't appropriate in front of students, but in the privacy of an office one could indulge. "Will you come with me right now?"

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Charles nodded, closed the drawer, and then turned back to Nate. On the inside, he over examination the situation once more and decided that Nathan Aphelion was not the hard ass, no-fun-whatsoever professor that he once had deemed him. Instead, the Ravenclaw Head was now classified as a good-natured man who didn't want to send off inappropriate messages or examples to students. Charles admired that. Pressing the tip of his index finger against the scarred end of his cigar, red glowing emitted from around that area until the cigar lit once more. Taking a long drag of the cigar, Professor Tortal took it from his lips and let out a sigh; smoke poured out from his mouth like fog. "Of course," the man paused for a moment after hearing the proposal and thought it over. He made calculations, determining how long it had been since the hospital ward reconfiguration, and then nodded. It had been long enough. He took another long drag and sat himself up. "How many are working on the project? I'm sure that just two wizards wouldn't be enough to reiterate wards all over a school as big as Hogwarts." There was the Headmistress, who was obviously talented in her own right, however, as seen when the school was established, there were four people.

Deputy Headmaster & Transfiguration Professor Posts: 768 Group: Ravenclaw Head of House Member #122 Joined: Mar 20 2007	There was something about the man; he conducted himself with such grace and almost elegance, yet conveyed such raw power at the same time, such fear....it was fascinating. He could understand why students were both so afraid yet held the teacher in such awe. Charles Tortal inspired both in copious amounts. "True. If we were building the wards from scratch. But the wards are not gone, just diminished. The castle could still withstand a full blown attack, albeit not for an extended period. But the occasional creature has been able to slip through. I am sure Headmistress Belleford is conducting her own excursions to assist the school but for what I need, the two of us will suffice." He ashed the cigar before drawing back on it again, "Will you join me in the dungeons right now?"

He listened to Nate and deemed it as a sensible answer, but he was curious to whether or not Professor Aphelion had actually seen the damage inflicted to the wards. It he hadn't and he was simply assuming, Charles would probably be amused to an extent. However, Nate was an intelligent man and probably wouldn't make stupid assumptions. Nodding and exhaling the smoke from his cigar, he let out a hiss: "Of course...."

"Then we should go. COme." Nate strode purposefully from the classroom, still hesitant to include Charles but knowing he had no other option.
