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?

Matthew entered the unused replacement classroom and wrote upon the board for the students who would now enter shortly.

Angela entered the classroom early because of the short distance from the Divination classroom. The placate spell Annie had cast had worn off, and Angela was trying to battle off a headache as a result. She took a seat in the middle of the room and read the board, pulling out her book and finding information on the Blast-ended skrewts to read up on before the rest of the class arrived.

((OOC: I like the board - but it's a little fuzzy and hard to read. Maybe a bigger font next time?))

Kidnapped!

Tristan walked inside the classroom that had been converted into a now useable room for their COMC class and took a seat near the front. He read the board with interest before pulling his textbook and parchment from his bag, beginning to read the chapter on Blast-Ended Skrewts.

After several minutes of feverish scanning he raised his hand, "According to our book they can grow to be quite large, over six feet, and develop quite a magical protection as they grow. This probably results from the manticore genetics in its breeding. Also they occasionally fire from their back end and shoot forward. Why this may had developed I have no idea."

The moving picture of the creature really was disgusting! It was like a giant millipede that oozed slime and had the most horrific 'face' Tristan had ever seen. He was quite glad they were inside and could not study the creature closer.

Ian entered the classroom and sat in the back row after only taking a slight glance at the board. Bah! Ian thought this was supposed to be a hands-on class. First the stupid dragon-models, and now blast-ended skrewts, without any real blast-ended skrewts (perhaps, of course, that was probably a good thing). Annoyed, Ian sat back and watched as the rest of the class entered, he himself not knowing (or caring to know) anything about blast-ended skrewts besides the fact that they were revolting, and caring for one was a waste of time. He smirked as he raised his hand.

"They're revolting an ultimately useless," said Ian with a tone that was meant to let the Professor know exactly what he thought of this lesson, "Magizoologists still don't know what the eat, so they die before anyone kind find anything worthwhile about them. Overall, a misinformed, pointless, fruitless breeding experiment. What else is there to know?"

It seemed as though it was going to be another boring COMC lesson (at least the dragon models were the source of some commotion...thanks to Ian himself). Ian wanted to see a real magical creature, not more pictures and models.

Matthew watched as the students began to gather in, he could tell by some groaning and dissapointed faces that they were feeling the same was as he was - being unable to teach a hands on lesson again was a pain, due to the danger of the grounds. It also meant it that he was unable to enter the forest to bring creatures into class, thus making his lessons he hoped to be exiciting, rather dull.

He listened as the Ravenclaw, Tristan Nightshade correctly did as the students were instructed, to tell him about the Blast-ended skrewts, he smiled and spoke the the boy loudly, "Well done Mr Nightshade, all correct and exactly what I asked for, 6 points to Ravenclaw," Matty beamed.

Ian, The Slytherin began to talk with an attitude, however as a Slytherin towards the Gryffindor head of house he expected this sometimes, he shook it off and replied to his own statement about the creatures, "Indeed, Mr Ponte Du Lac, they are indeed a stupid experiment, thus making the revolting creatures we see today, the Professor said as he noted Mr Nightshade's expression as he examined the picture of the skrewt.

"Now, 6 points to Slytherin as well, for another good statement from Ian there." he said smiling the boy despite his attitude and house, he turned to the Gryffindor (Angela), "Now, Miss Evans, have you got anything to say about the skrewts, if not," he paused as he turned to the rest of the class who had happily turned up on time.

"To make things more intresting for you guys and girls who have turned up either early and on time and to avoid the late-comers from repeating you, here is a little activity to pass the time, Matthew smiled, "I wish for all of you to draw me a picture of a Blast-ended Skrewt," he finished with a smile.

Annie entered just to the last words, "I'm sorry, but Bannishtar wanted to see me about a curse, or gift, I have." She zoomed through the board in only seconds before she raised her hand. "Ooh! Their weak spot is their belly!" While waiting for a response, Annie started drawing.

Lola walked into the Classroom and nodded at Professor Concordus. She took a seat at the back, five or so away from Ian- as much as she disliked him, she didn't care at this point. She just wanted to sit in the back. She felt better. She fanned her face with her hand, seeing as her face was still flushed out from the smoke, and the argument with Beau. She sighed and crossed her legs, as her robes made a soft swish swish noise.

She read the board. "Eurgh." she said softly, as she shuddered. She despised Blast-Ended Skrewts. She shrugged it off, though. She made a face as she tried to think. She raised her hand "They tend to be very vicious, and usually kill eachother off. They have sexual dimorphism, as well. The males have stings, while the females have suckers on their bellies." she said, as she sunk back in her seat a little, still feeling a bit hot from the previous class.

She took out parchment and, as much as she despised them, began to sketch out the outline to a blast-ended skrewt having barely heard Professor Concordus say the last line.

Angela nodded and was about to reply to the professor when Annie and Lola interrupted. It was alright though and Angela didn't really mind. When they finished, Angela had nothing more to add really. "The suction-cup spot on the bellies of the females is used to suck blood, which is probably why they're most vulernable there. It doesn't say if the males have the same vulnerability on their bellies. Perhaps they're like bees, that die if they use their stingers?"

Angela examined the skrewt picture in the book and made a face. She pulled out a piece of parchment though and began trying to draw it.

Lola saw Melanie walk in and gave her a small smile. She then returned to her drawing- she was now putting in details, shading, all of that. She was rather content with how it was coming out. It wasn't that bad, and she was starting to feel more calm and not so panicky about James- she trusted he'd be okay.

He was afterall the person she called her hero. And heroes can't die. They just can't. They're far too invincible to even think about letting such a thing as health issues destroy them.

Beau entered the room, taking a seat near the middle, near Angela. She took out her book and read the section, raising her hand politely, looking around the room as she spoke, "Once fully grown they--" her eyes reached Lola, and the words died in her throat, she blushed, "They somewhat resemble scorpions, with their tails arched over their backs."

This is silly, you apologized, everything's back to normal. She knew this wasn't true, 'normal' had vanished, and it wasn't coming back.

OOC: Like the chalkboard, but it's a little too wide for my internet, the words on the side of peoples posts get cut off.

Matthew smiled as just as he predicted, the later stundents began to flood in, but to his pleasure, they were still putting their hands up to give out more statements and facts about the skrewts. He listened to them all before answering them one by one.

"Well done Miss Stones, Miss Dior and Miss Evans, together there, you correctly described to me and the class alot about the skrewt's belly, all correct, now due to it being a combined effort, you will all get 3 points!"
he smiled, "So 3 to Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw."

He smiled to the three of them once more and turned to Beau, she gave yet another fact which was correct, leading on the already pleasing smile on Matthew's face to enlarge, "Well done to you as well, Miss Armistead, they do some-what resemble the normally muggle associated scorpians when they grow older, so 6 points to Hufflepuff for that fact as well,"

Matty sat back as the students began to draw the creatures, the ugly disqusting blast-ended skrewts, would certainly lead to some intresting creations and drawings, he smiled to himself as he thought of a extra task and what to do next lesson.

He wrote on the board - Please continue drawing, good luck!, Matthew smiled to himself once more.

Kidnapped!

Never much of an artist, Tristan attempted to draw a diagram of the Skrewt but with only minimal success. After several minutes he had a drawing that could only resemble the creature in question because of the title and labels where he had marked each of the important features outlined by the class. Still, he was pleased that he didn't have the greatest artwork but had still managed to produce something he could study from. The Ravenclaw within, he smirked to himself.

Tristan decided to ask a question, "Professor, you said they were a stupid experiment before. What did you mean? Are they not a natural magica creature?"

Lola looked up and saw Beau. She bit her tongue and rolled her eyes. She's so weak. Her apology was not real. She made a face and kept putting the finishing touches on her drawing.

Annie looked at her drawing, it wasn't turning out how she wanted it. The ink was runny, the paper bad and the whole thing was only a mess. It didn't even resemble the creature. To top it all, Annie spilled the ink all over it, the black liquid all over her parchment and small bits of her desk. She whispered to herself, "Ohno!" Annie tried to manage to remember a spell she could use, "Reparo! Uh... Tergeo!" Her attempt at removing the ink didn't have much of an effect, it only thinned out bits of the inks. "Scourgify!" Some of the ink vanished, but most of it just stiffened. Luckily for Annie, not much of the desk was inked.

Annie looked around. Her panicked whispers had't been so very low... Still, she pretended she wasn't embarrased, although her red cheeks told another story.

She returned to the blackened paper, and of anger she used her quill and dug out a deep line. Pushing it away, Annie noticed away to make it up... She used the same way to create a drawing.

John snuck into the class room

John entered the class sliding through the door trying not to alert the teacher to his late entrance. Sitting down anywhere he gave a puff of relief. "Thought I was going to get caught there for sure" John thought. He looked around and realized he was sitting next to complete strangers. However, the girl next to him appeared to be in his own house. Tempting fate he decided to strike out a friendship.

"G'd - ay" John said, still tired from running all the way to class and panting with each breath like a dog.

Angela looked up at the guy who sat down next to her. He was in Gryffindor, by the badge, and she thought she recognized him vaguely from Divination. "Hi," she said, suppressing a laugh at his panting. "Long way to run," she teased quietly. She looked down at her pathetic attempt at a blast ended skrewt and held it up for him to see. "We're drawing these. Ugly things aren't they, and they don't even need my lousy artistic skills."

Despite innitiating the conversation, John was still caught off gaurd by the girl. "Huh?" was all he could muster, before almost falling out of his chair on sight of the drawing. Looking up at the board to try get an image of the actual object and it wasn't much of an improvement. "Not bad I'd say. Just as ugle. What are those things anyway?" John asked.

"Oh, I'm John by the way" he said now using his robes to mop the sweat from his face.

"They are also hiddeuosly ugly" John said. "Not that I care about looks or anything. Still, at least we don't have to take care of them. They look nasty." John pointed out. Even the pictures of them looked frightening.

John once again took out his book and tried the cannon spell. Four tries into it something happened and a cannon appeared and thudded into the wall John was aiming for. John was so surprised he fell out of his chair and onto Angela. The Cannonball hit the wall the a thick thud that seemed to shake the whole class room before the cannonball disappeared into thin air.
