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?

3rd Year COMC; Day 6, "Question time With Banni" Lesson

"Heh why not..." Ben said, also dithering as he did so, before slowing raising his hand up, the cloth Lola had given him clutched in it as this action happened.

He paused slightly before he spoke, could this be the start of Ben's recovery, starting to talk out infront of the class once more, like his old gobby self. "Bannishtar, What centaurs do for recreational activities or how do they spend their free time in other words?" Ben asked, adding on to what Kiki had suggested, with a double-barrelled question.

Ben smiled before sitting back and awaiting the answer, before placing the cloth of Lola's grandmother back into Annie's jeans he was still in, suprisingly nobody had mentioned it. (OOC - Ben's still wearing Annie's t-shirt and jeans...oooohh and 1400th post lol.).

Tristan shook his head, "You can do so much better, Lols. But I suppose if you think there's something worth loving in him that's your call." It was quite unusual, how similar she and Riley were. Both quite happy-go-lucky girls, both quite cute, he got along with both of them fantastically, and both seemed to have a soft spot for dickhead Slytherins.

"I won't say a word mate." And with that he lost himself in thought.

Beau looked incredulously at Ben, who she noticed was wearing girl's clothing. "B-but!" she spoke, I asked a question already, that's not fair! It was a good one, too, well thpought out, far enough away from any bad topics! With a small Hmmph! she sat back, a bit peeved at the fact that she was being ignored.

OOC: My question was a lot of posts back, I'm sure people just missed it on accident.

Lola smiled and nodded while a sigh of relief escaped her lips. "Thank you, Tris." she said, smiling and standing up, leaning over the table and giving him a tight hug. "You're the only one who knows. Thanks." she whispered, and then she let go.

She straightened up and brushed off her robes at the knees. She went over to her previous seat, next to Annie, and sat down biting her and keeping quiet. She had not much of a clue of what was going on around her at this moment.

Precious shifted uncomfertably in her seat. She looked up at the centaur in the front of the room. How strange. She thought. She placed her elbow on the desk, and placed her chin on the palm of her hand. How did he get that horse body? How did the centaur population start anyway? Was it a man breeding with a horse? Or... Precious shuddered at the thought of it. She raised her hand up slowly, and asked, "What do you centaurs normaly eat around here in the forests?" after she asked, she sunk low into her seat, she was only asking to bring the house points up a little.

Banni stood by and listened to the questions he was bombarded with, smiling. With a raise of his hand, he signified that he was about to answer them all:

"As I've said before, we centaur enjoy our battle games, most of which include some sort of wrestling. Archery is another popular recreational exploit, and as you can see"--the centaur lifted his yew longbow so the class could see--"I am no exception. Given different circumstances, you would generally find me fletching--that is, making--arrows or practicing my aim out on the grounds in my free time.

"Our games are mostly all practical,"
Banni continued, "Everything we do is intended to increase our ability to survive. War games are popular as well, though my kind's being predispositioned to seclusion from other races--and even other herds--has meant that my kind has not actually fought in any wars for hundreds of years."

Banni answered Precious' question:

"My kind persue the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, so we are partial to meat--which we do favor cooked over an open flame--or various berries and mushrooms my kind has identified as edible.

"It should be noted that what I've said of my kind is not, perhaps, true of all centaur herds. Now, before I go on, perhaps I can ask all of YOU a question: Can anyone tell me the one other place where centaurs have a strong population? I'll give you a hint: It is where my kind originated."


He looked to Matthew, sure that his human friend would not object to Banni giving out a few housepoints.

Olivia Orville's head was close to her parchment as she scribbled her notes furiously. She was a particularly good note taker, and had developed a short hand that let her speed through most lessons gathering as much possible as she could. She rarely stopped to look up, not wanting to get distracted from the task at hand. She knew a little bit about Centaurs and magical creatures as it was one of her favorite subjects to study in her free time (however small that was when she wasn't studying for all the rest of her classes), and stopped writing on her parchment when she heard the question asked.

She raised her hand quickly, as she usually did whenever she knew the answer and looked to the rest of the class. She liked answering questions in class. She liked to see a return on all of her studying. She shifted uneasily in her seat, looking around to the rest of her classmates, hoping that they didn't mind that she was going ahead and answering (considering that Ravenclaw looked like it was a good deal in front of the rest of the houses when it came to house points) and cleared her throat.

In her firmest voice she could muster, which was still scarcely above a whisper, the girl answered, "Why, it's Greece, isn't it?"

Fera Collis
Fifth Year

Fera sat close to the back, a frown etched upon her face, what Banni was going on about barely registering with her. Regardless of what the centaur said, she felt no love, from anyone, not even her own species.

Less than fourty-five minutes or so ago, she'd just played witness to one of the most indecent displays of human misconduct towards one another, in the form of the riot that had taken place in Divination. She'd had the entire Monastary, the only family she's ever known, killed--and without the Ministry even giving a damn enough to look into it properly! Not too far from her, a girl in her house was making good efforts to make another boy jealous, by the looks of her friendliness towards yet another member of her house, who seemed to be anything but a lover of people. And now she's had the one person here at Hogwarts that she'd ever really connected with drown himself in whisky against her wishes; as if her feelings didn't matter. What love? Fera had hardly witnessed any love amongst her kind or any kind. How could Banni even say that? Didn't his herd say they were going to KILL him when she'd followed him and Professor Concordus into the forest? Where's the love? There was none. None for Fera, and none for Banni, though he still seemed to be under some kind of delusion.

Julian's words still haunted her, stinging her insides like shards of ice, cold and deep. They weren't to her, but they hurt her, as she would have expected for them to hurt the centaur. Fera could practically smell the whisky on Professor Concordus. She felt sick, angry, annoyed--all at once. She wanted to get out of here. Absentmindedly, she felt above her breast for the crucifix necklace under her blouse. She wanted out of here. She wanted away from all the hate and inconsideration of her kind; away from Banni's foolish prattling; and away from the man who didn't seem to realize that he'd hurt her so.

She raised her hand.

"Professor," she said curtly, not one to bother with hiding emotions, "I would like to leave. I don't feel well."

Tristan had been about to say something else to Lola about her admission when the bell sounded, signalling the end of another day. He sighed to himself, pleased to finally be done with classes. He gave a strained smile towards Melanie and Lola, "Well...see you at dinner." He swung his bag over his shoulder and headed to drop his bag off upstairs before heading for dinner.

OOC - Can the Professors post in the House Points thread the points to add from this class as I think there will be several. Or else Ben can you do it since you know what's going on? :)

Ben jumped up suddenly as the school bell rang loudly accross the rooms, causing an echo which made his mind spin slightly. The last time he felt a shock like that was back when Yvette had smashed through that certain window.

Although he quickly shook that off and turned to Kiki, "Was nice working with you, perhaps see you at dinner," Ben said with a smile, before slowly heading towards the door.

He looked towards Ella and sighed, he needed to talk fully to her again, which would hopefully be soon after this lesson at dinner...hopefully.

Ben sniffled, before exiting the classroom.

OOC - Yarp, I can do that, I'll look through it all later when Banni has finished then I'll award them.

Professor Matthew Concordus

Matthew nodded back to Bannishtar, he did not mind at all about his friend giving out house points, as he thought that, it reminded him to write upon the board the names of the question askers and points winners.

Katriane Quicompoix - 3 points - Hufflepuff
Emma Gray - 3 points - Ravenclaw
Beau Armistead - 3 points - Hufflepuff
Ben Thomas - 3 points - Hufflepuff
Precious Hindert - 3 points - Slytherin

(OOC - If I missed you out just nag or nudge me :P)

He then span back upon hearing Miss Collis begin to talk and ask to leave the classroom, but before he could answer her the bell had gone for the end of the day's lesson, "You may of course go now, Miss Collis."

Matthew was slightly saddened that the lesson had come to an end, it was running smoothly for a full class participation one, he smile though before turning to Bannistar, he would let his centaur friend wrap up after Miss Orville had answered his friend's question to the class.

"Now good luck for your exams, class," Matty finished off as he turned to the class once more, he then returned his glance to Bannishtar, "I'll let you wrap things up on your own, I'll catch you later mate." he said before exiting the classroom.

Annie woke up suddenly from her strange aura and stance as the bell rang loudly to signal the end of the lesson. Her mind went back to the "item of strong affection," she looked around once more, the only thing could be Ben's pillow, but by then after Annie had relised this, the young Hufflepuff boy had exited the room.

The object had to be Ben's pillow, it had to be...She needed to catch Ben now and his object of strong affection, ala his softening, relaxing, comfort pillow.

She suddenly stood up, knocking a couple of Lola's belongings onto the floor, she mouthed sorry before, "No! Ben! wait!" and chasing out the room after him.

Eric J Naylor

Eric couldn't help but grin to himself as the lesson came to an end, getting out of this wizard and witch filled room was a huge relief for a person like him. He stood up and looked around, before smiling to the centaur, one of many creatures he respected, and one he could accutally talk to despite his beliefs.

He now had a descision between returning to the owlery to pick up where he left off, of talking to the school's and his schoolmate's owls, or going down for dinner, which just meant being in yet another populated room. Eric sighed before deciding on dinner, despite his doubts and sadness about it. He did need food afterall, like all animals.

The Gryffindor wrinkled his nose to the girl who had asked to settle down with him earlier, she seemed a typical loud-mouthed, popular girl who would never shut up, he did however respect that of Fera Collis, who he had heard could talk to animals as well, or something along those lines. Eric smiled to her before exiting the room.

Ella listened to the rest of the lesson with some interest, but for the most part simply doodled on her notes for the rest of the period, occasionally jotting down something that was interesting or could be useful. When the bell finally rang, the Slytherin grabbed her bag and looked up just in time to see Ben glance her way before leaving the room. Determined to speak to him before dinner was over and to at least try to figure out what was going on, Ella hitched her bag onto her shoulder and exited the classroom.

Beau squealed as the bell rang, only a short time until her detention. She regained her composure and approached Banni, "I guess I'll see you after dinner, then." Smiling, she turned to skip out of the classroom.

Lola hissed as her things fell to the floor. "Thanks." she said as she got her things. She scoffed and left the Classroom, annoyed and wanting more than anything to just sit by herself and eat.

Kiki nodded to Ben and picked up all her parchment and quill, tossing them hap-hazardly into her satchel. She could organize it later. The day was almost done.

Kiki rose out of her seat and exited the classroom
