| 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.

Banni stared back, not completely sure what had just happened. Everything he had seen as an effect of that spell had been visions of his own recollections: of the fighting agains the Red Cap horde, of the death of Magorian, and of the tale of his childhood he'd told to Nate and the others. But the last part. He rembered nothing of it, only that it had happened...whatever it was. Banni had the suspicion that that last spell was used to read another's mind, but then why had it brought about something he didn't know; that hadn't actually happened? The man ahead of him looked even more shaken. What had he seen. It was very dark again, the Ministry wizard had dropped his wand. This was his chance. Whatever had happened, it may just be Banni's salvation. Taking advantage of the situation, Banni lept up, let out a battle call, and tackled the man, who seemed to wake up at the impact, struggling against Banni's larger form. With the man, so pitiful and small-looking when he was unarmed and afraid, at the centaur's mercy, pinned to the ground with one of Bann's strong hands; Banni raised his fist, and was about to beat him senseless before a faint whizzing sound told him to roll out of the way. Without thinking, he rolled with the man, his hand still clutching his collar. The arrow hit just where they had been. Banni looked up, and saw about fifteen or so of his own kind, all with arrows drawn to shoot. "Wait a moment!" Banni began, raising his hands in surrender, having released the man from his grip. |

Eric's face transformed from worry to more worry as he stared at Fera after hearing what she had said, he soon smiled though and stood still, in the spot where he was. "Are you sure you want to stay here? Collis?" Eric said with a slight frowning upon his forehead, "I mean I may hate it there but whats best? It's getting very very late now." He said, finishing with a glimpse to the shining moon. He took her hand and tugged her slightly, "C'mon, let's go, it's for the best...We saw the wonderful wolves and we talked, there's not much point risking our lives now," The Gryffindor said, before Eric took one last look towards and in the direction of the wolves' den. |

Bella ran into the forest, still gripping the Hand so she could see. She was scarcely able to believe their luck at not being caught...they must have passed a dozen Teachers patrolling! "Right...so where do you think they are? It's not exactly a small forest.." she said, glancing at Ian. |

Ian ran into the forest with Bellatrix, having not answering Bella but continuing to run with her, until he suddenly stopped. "BLINKIN!" A loud CRACK signified the appearance of the old house elf, though it was dark enough that Ian could not see him. "Yes, Little Master?" croaked a voice from the darkness. He did not need to question that it was him, for a House Elf is bound to obey only his master's voice, no matter what guise it had assumed. Now was the time. Ian and Bella were beyond the wards that would keep them from doing this. "Blinkin, take us to them," he ordered. He showed not the resignation still burning in his mind. Quickly, Ian gripped his cousin's hand in his, just as a small wrinkled hand one might have mistaken for the Hand of Glory gripped his. There was a sensation of being forced through a small pipe, Ian couldn't breath. He hated apparation. Without a word of command from Ian, Blinkin backed away into the bush, hidden from sight. And then they were in a new part of the forest, with Fera Collis, the girl Ian had been plotting to attack all year, standing just feet away from him. In the guise of John Holland, Ian approached Fera and the unidentified boy with his wand alight and his face as benevolent as he could make it. "Fera," he said in John's voice, acting as though he was concerned, "Its dangerous here! All the professors are looking for you!" ((OOC: Eric, Fera, Bella and I have been planning this for some time. You can run away or play along if you like, but don't interfere too much, please.)) |

Banni rose slowly, keeping his hands raised. They should lower their bows, surely they only had them drawn because they weren't sure who he was. "Bannishtar?" asked the blond haired centaur, whom Banni immediately identified as Firenze. "Lower your weapons!" ordered the centaur beside Firenze: Black haired and bearded Bane. The hunting party obeyed. Banni let out a sigh of relief and lowered his hands to his side. Wait a minute! he thought, and whipped around just in time to see the Ministry wizard frantically recoverin his wand in shaking hands. The wizard, in torn robes and messy blond hair, stared out at the group of centaurs with a dirty, earnest expression. "You!" he said aloud, and as if they immediately understood, all the present members of his former herd had raised their bows and drawn, aiming for the man. Banni removed his own bow from across his back, and knocked an arrow to it, slowly. |

Alphonse felt the fear drain away from him as he laid his hands upon the wooden shaft of his wand. Silently, he made the tip of his wand light up, just as the entire herd had trained all their weapons on him. But the danger didn't register with him. All he could keep his mind on was the feeling of wholenes and understanding, fleeting away, leaving emptiness. "That's him!" came a voice from the crowd of armed centaurs. Low and menacing, the voice was nevertheless a bit shaky. There was fear as well, "That's the low-down bastard of a wizard that bespelled me! I-It's the truth!" |

"Ronin!?" Banni asked in shock, though he didn't turn his head to look in the direction of the voice, he knew better than to take his eyes of a known enemy. "Be quiet you!" came the voice of Bane, "I told you we would deliberate on what to do with you, later!" "Bespelled?" asked Ronin, puzzled. "This nag claims that he didn't really do or say any of that shit he'd been doing," informed Bane. All of them had their eyes on the wizard, who still kneeled there in front of them, still with the most peculiar expression. "He claims that it was a wizard who made him do it all," added Bane incredulously. Banni sighed in frustration and fatigue. "More human hate, Ronin?" he asked, both curious and annoyed. "Of course!" growled Ronin, Banni frowned. "Would you not hate the race that would seek to use you like some pack mule!? I swear to you, he used me to get you all riled up! I wouldn't have--" "Oh, don't give me that--" Bane began, but was apparantly cut off by Firenze's soft voice: "It is true, Ronin, that your words have been no different than the sentiments you've always expressed," he reasoned, "but I'll admit that many things you've done over the period in which you say you were 'controlled' were quite strange. I would have never thought you would have disrespected Magorian or the elder as you'd done recently. I cannot say that I don't have my doubts as to the truthfulness of your claims, but I admit that certain things that had gone on then had been quite...odd." The group muttered amongst itself, Banni wondered what he should believe, he also wondered why the Ministry man hadn't tried ot fight or run. Of course, the entire group would fire on him if his nose so much as twitched. "ENOUGH!" Bane called out, silencing the herd, "Whatever! I said we'd deliberate later. Now if we're going to shoot this nag, let's just shoot him--my arm is growing weary." |

Fera looked over her shoulder, "And why are you and Aubrey in here?" Her tone wasn't as usual. Fera KNEW there was something wrong here, put she wasn't able to put her finger on it. Was it the wand pointing at her? Was it that this boy, who normally didn't do a shit when it came to her suddenly wanted to 'save her? "And why should they be looking for me, they never notice when I'm gone or not." She pointed her finger at him accusingly. |

Ian had to think quick. "We didn't want Gryffindor to lose any more points, right Aubrey?" he said, thinking this would be something that git would care about. Then he realized his wand was pointed at her. He didn't mean to make it look like what he was going to do, he was just using it as a light. However, managing to fool some of the most bigoted pure-blood fanatics into thinking you were one of them had taught Ian how to be good actor. He hardened his voice and expression, sounding more authoritiative, yet still concerned, but not angry: "They certainly noticed you were gone, this time. The front doors were unlocked"--which was true, it was how Ian and Bellatrix had gotten out, though Ian knew Fera wasn't stupid enough to be the one to have done that. Someone else was out on the grounds tonight. "Thought we'd find you before the Professors did," he said, "you two aren't supposed to be out here, and we just might get expelled if we don't get out of here and come up with some story for the teachers." A great rumbling took Ian's attention from Fera, he looked up, expecting a flash of lightning, but the dense forest blocked out all light. Another wave of storms was coming. |

The voice of the one Alphonse had set out to kill snapped him back to his senses, suddenly. The centaurs seemed to be arguing amongst themselves. Alphonse knew now there wasn't much time, he'd failed to do what he'd set out to do before the next phase of the plan had commenced. That thunder that sounded throughout the forest was not thunder. Alphonse knew what he would have to do. Knowing they would shoot if he stood up, he rolled to the side, and one of the centaurs reacted almost instantly, sending an arrow to lodge itself in the ground where Al had been only a fraction of a second before. The air was filled with the simultaneous TWANG of bowstrings, and cloud of arrows whizzed at him, just as he turned, and vanished with a loud CRACK. |

OOC:No, it was the female and Magorian the previous leader. I think. IC: Fera sneered, "I don't give a shit about house points, not expelling either. You should know that." She twitched, for a unknown reason. "As for locking the door, I didn't do that. I'm not a idiot, only schoolwise." ((I hope you do not mind the slight godmode John... Although, it's for Fera's worse, not yours.)) Fera recalled John finding her previous exam results, all were failed. She turned to Aubrey, and sneered. She detested the Dior girls, although she had respected Lola once. Now, Lola was become too selfcentered and 'helpless but still going as 'perfect''. Nothing seemed to hurt the girl. The death of a brother, and grandmother(Fera had heard some rumours when lurking around the school.) had no effect academically at all. Aubrey though, was just another goody-two-shoes, like almost all people at this school. Fera rolled her eyes, "Now, piss off." |

Eric simply onlooked the goings on as two fellow Gryffindors appeared through the shrubs, he raised an eyebrow as to why they would also be out here at this time of night. He and Fera would of probably just have headed back to the castle soon but this seemed weird enough to stop them. He heard Fera swear, something she had told him not to earlier, he grinned then walked up beside her, "I don't really know you guys, as I have been hiding around for a long time, but Collis here seems to have her doubts about you and I'm with her every step of the way." Eric then shrugged and awaited what would happen next, four Gryffindors out here, plus the head of their housewandering around somewhere was not a good combination. ((OOC - Fera says she wants me here to take her to the Hospital Wing alive afterwards.)) |

Genesis jumped and screamed as a professor appeared between them. "What the hell are you doing?" he yelled. She looked at Jacob as he yelled at them, and then she rolled her eyes had he told them to leave. Like I'm gonna go to that 'punishment' tomorrow. Genesis thought. She looked one last time at Jacob and left the forbidden forest. |

Bellatrix could be considered an oddity in the pureblood world for a few reasons, but the most noted one was that she didn't act nearly as much as many. If Bellatrix Black didn't like you, the rules of society didn't keep her from telling you so like they would most others of her blood status. Therefore, she found it much harder than Ian apparently did to look concerned about some Gryffindor Mudblood. Aubrey... so that was "her" name. "Well, you might not care, Collis, but the rest of us don't want to lose anymore-we're already last place!" Bella said, attempting to sound sincere, "DO you really want Gryffindor to be a laughing stock?" She glanced at Ian, waiting for him to signal her-she kept gripping her wand restlessly, ready to start flinging hexes at his first movement. |

Fera smirked, "Yes, let people laugh our 'noble' house. We're a bunch of overbrave idiots everyone of us. Either we're a-social or oversocial, we still go around believing our every action is 'saving the day'. Like you two, oh how chivalerous, save poor little Fera from getting killed, like she should have been for many years since, and why? Oh, cause you don't wanna be at last with the housepoints?" Fera had already noticed what was wrong, Aubrey was not Aubrey. But, Fera liked fooling around, and she guessed that it would be best to play along. And, of course, taunting was fun. |

Banni cursed as the wizard vanished into thin air, leaving rows of arrows stuck head-first into the ground where he had been only a fraction of a second before. "Where did he go?" growled Bane. Banni turned to face his former herd. Many were still looking around, searching the area with their eyes as if the wizard might jump out of the bushes at any moment for a counter-attack. "He's got some other trick up his sleeve," came the voice of Ronin. Banni turned his head, and saw, though it was dark and he could not see fully unless he got closer, that the gray-faced centaur had been badly disfigured. His mouth moved with some difficulty as he spoke, and he had many teeth missing. Worse yet: by the single solitary round light reflected back off the deposed leader's face, Banni guessed that he had only one eye. Feeling somewhat responsible, Banni looked away back towards Bane. Did his feeling of guilt mean that he believed Ronin? The centaur didn't know what to think, but Firenze's words echoed his own sentiments exactly. But Banni still wasn't sure he could believe a word of it. Mind control? In all his years in the company of wizards, Banni had never heard of such magic--and to take away one's free will? To take from a being that which makes them so? If Ronin had indeed been telling the truth, and all his words, actions, and behaviors were the product of another's twisted command--at least in part--then such magic must be amongst the darkest in existence. Perhaps he would ask Nate about it later, but he needed to know more about it first. "Ronin," said Banni, forcing himself to look at the much larger centaur whom he'd beaten so badly, "You say you were 'controlled'. How? When?" Ronin turned his head towards Banni, and stared. With no ounce of expression or any evidence that he was actually going to speak. Banni got the feeling that regardless of whether or not Ronin was able to recall anything during his time of--alleged--slavery, that he knew who it was who had beaten and humiliated him so badly. "That's none of your concern, traitor!" Bane said, pointing an accusatory finger in Banni's direction. Banni sighed irritably. So he was still a traitor? "If I'm not mistaken," said Bane, "This will be the FOURTH time you will have been kicked out of here." He eyed Banni with a look of distaste. Bane never liked Banni, and vice-versa. Nothing would change that. "All of us appreciate your help--though it was not, and would never have been, asked for--with this nag," then Bane, who seemed now to be the heard's leader, turned his attention towards Ronin, giving the larger centaur the same look. He turned his head back to Banni, "But even then Gregori told you to get out. And now you've come back, leading a dangerous wizard into out midst when we've got more important matters we're trying to deal with." he turned to Ronin again, "And YOU: We're trying to clean up the mess you've caused, and you show up begging for sympathy and claiming that it wasn't really you. From henceforth, you, Roinin, are to be exiled." Banni saw the shock on the centaur's gray face, "Leave the forest. Maybe the wizards at the school will give a job like they did Banni," Bane sneered, "Perhaps they'll let you ferry little wizard brats on your back like some common mule!" "Bane..." muttered Firenze disapprovingly, but Ronin was already backing away, a look of rage and fury--and perhaps, a bit of hurt--distorting his already disfigured features. His one eye burned with the fire that Banni had seen countless times before. "Ronin, wait!" called Banni. He needed to know the truth, but Ronin had already disappeared into the darkness of the forest. There was another rumble of thunder, this time louder and sustained longer. "And as for you," Bane began, sounding as though he felt justified, "Honestly, Bannishtar, I don't know what we're going to do with you. One one hand, your continuous appearances are unwelcome and almost annoying; on the other, you helped us out the past two times you've been here. SO...go now and we will not harm you. Stay here and you'll have a sentence of death carried out right on the--" "Excuse me," Firenze said politely, cutting across Bane in a manner that made it clear he was not in any way afraid to do so, "But may I ask WHY you are here? Why was that wizard chasing you?" Banni did not want to speak of this. It was too humiliating a thing to admit to the ones who had exiled you, "I was betrayed," he said at last, "Due to the circumstances, I have been removed from my position at the school and made an enemy of the wizarding world..." "HA!" Bane gloated, "I knew they would turn on you eventually. You cant trust wizards, Bannishtar. We all tried to teach you several years ago, but you wouldn't listen. You ignored the ways of our forefathers, and THAT is the real reason why you were exiled. It was not the mere act of consorting with a human, but the implications of such an act. But I wonder: now what will you do?" The entire hunting party felt to Banni to be drilling holes into him with their eyes...all except Firenze, who seemed troubled. Banni did not speak. He lowered his head. He hadn't really thought past trying to get away from and possibly--though he would never admit it--kill the wizard if he had the chance. He was furious over having been effectively betrayed and exiled by the wizarding world. He knew what Ronin must be feeling, and once again he felt both sympathetic, and partly responsible. But he also knew that it had not been the entire collective wizarding world that had turned its back on him. No. Just a few; a few like Delores Umbridge and that man who had tried to arrest him; the few who held offices of power and abused that power. This was where the centaur philosophy on wizards was mistaken. Banni lifted his head, and spoke with a strong, clear voice of assurance: "But you're wrong." "What?" asked Bane. The entire hunting party was once again talking amongst itself. Firenze looked up. "You're wrong. Not all of them are untrustworthy. It has only been those in power that have done wrong to our kind. I am happy to say that in my last few hours within the company of humans, that I have witnessed nearly every facet of the human heart. Anger, greed, and apathy; contrasted by caring, loving, and gentleness. They are no different than we, only that they're ancestors had made many mistakes in their dealings with other creatures. And I want to tell you that whatever you wish to do with me, please know that our kind has made mistakes as well. Our own narrow prejudice has only helped helped the problem along. And regardless of whether or not Ronin's words and actions were that of another, it was our own collective animosity towards humans that has made us such an easy scapegoat for something I believe may be much bigger. I want to find out what." The entire group was silent. All was silent save but another, longer rumble. This time it did not stop. "Shhh," said Firenze, lowering his body so that his legs folded beneath his palomino body. He laid his head upon the earth, listening. "They are close," he said, lifting his body up. The entire hunting party readied their bows. "Who is close?" asked Banni, suddenly realizing that there were to be no more storms tonight. He gripped his bow tightly. "Those foul creatures again," said Firenze, already aiming his bow at some invisible spot deep within the forest. The hunting party, plus Banni, followed suit--though Banni had no idea what was going on. Then it hit him. "Red Caps?" he asked warily. He remembered those creatures, acting wholly not like the creature described as being weak, yet treacherous. The creatures that had killed Magorian were stronger and more agile. And they had weapons. "Yes," said Firenze, "an entire horde of them." "We've been tracking them," said Bane, looking back at Banni, "We mean to make sure they do not reach the school." Answering Banni's look of puzzlement, Bane said, "We will not allow the young to be harmed. Someone around here has to obey the laws of our forefathers." Bane turned his head back to the direction Banni now realized was where the creatures were going to come from. The rumbling did not stop. They were close. And from the sound of it, it seemed as though there were many. "But...Red Caps do not fight head on like this! They have no reason to!" Banni said, wondering now what was going on. In all that had happened these past months, he had not once thought of how strange it was that these creatures would attack in swarms. "Exactly." said Bane, and if he said anything else, Banni did not hear it, because the rumbling sound of hundreds of footsteps like drums thundered across the forest, drowning out all other noise. From the sound of them, Banni realized they would be coming at them from all sides but one: back the way he'd come. "FALL BACK!" exclaimed Bane. He quickly shot an arrow into the bushes, which seemed to hit something that shrieked. The entire group of centaurs fired into the darkness, all of them--Banni included--not doubting that they'd hit something. Reaching for another arrow, Banni mimicked the others, falling back to avoid being surrounded. He fired another arrow, just as he caught sight of they ugliest creature he'd ever seen. The Drawf-like creatures swarmed the area, one by one being picked of by arrows from the retreating centaurs. With white beards, beady eyes, gnarled misshapen features, dressed in rags with caps stained with dried blood, they were truly terrifying even if they only stood about three feet tall and brandishing only dull-looking, crudely-made knives, wooden shields, or wooden clubs. One-by-one they fell, still unable to surround the centaur group, yet it felt to Banni as if they were trying to spoon water out of a vast ocean. The centaurs continued to fall back, closer to the forest edge as each shot down vile creature after disgusting creature. They had no choice, they were outnumbered. |

Ian sighed irritably. Bellatrix, what the hell are you doing!? he thought. She didn't seem as though she was trying all that hard to get into character. With the appearance of they other Gryffindor twerp, as well as Fera's complete lack of gullibility, it seemed that the cause was now lost. He'd meant to get Fera to let her guard down, but he should have known that it wasn't in her to do that, even if someone from her own house expressed concern for her. Aw hell, it doesn't matter I guess, as long as they don't know who attacked them. Sorry Eric... The thunder grew louder. It seemed as though the storm was coming ever closer. With thought of completing this pointless task on his mind, he did not realize that the rumbling had not stopped now for minutes. Ian raised his wand, and without warning other than the incantation "Expelliarmus" he fired a wave of scarlet light at Fera Collis. |

It was useless. They were not doing anything to hold the creatures back. The horde continued to advance, and all the centaurs could do was let them, for nothing would save them if they were surrounded. Looking over his shoulder to Firenze, wishing to ask what it is they should do, he realized there were small, thin lights just behind them. He did not have to ask what they were. Humans from the school were in the forest tonight of all nights! Bane seemed to notice as well, and as he fired another shot into the unwavering army of foul creatures, he looked back and yelled, "Hey! Humans! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!" Banni meant to run for the group of humans, but was cut off by a number of Red Caps. One of them leaped at him, and Banni swung his left fist, hitting the creature squarely in the middle of the face. It fell back on top of its fellows. The hunting party was now split up, and the creatures had managed to overtake them on all sides but the way out of the forest. Firenze was the only one Banni could get to. "Firenze!" Firenze fired another arrow while simultaneously stomping another of the creatures into a bloody pulp. Fury was etched upon his usually calm face. His white coat was splattered with blood. He turned to Banni and called out, "We cannot hold them off! You will have to warn the school!" The sky was visible overhead. They were near the edge of the forest now. "But there are humans in the forest! They'll be killed!" protested Banni. "I know! But we cannot help them in our present condition. If the wizards value the lives of their own they will send help! Go!" Banni obeyed, now galloping headlong towards the edge of the forest. He took only one last glance at Firenze fighting off the creatures on his own as a group of Red Caps--nine or so--stood in front of him. Banni leaped over them and landed some feet away, rushing out onto the grounds, followed by several of the horrifying creatures. |
