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?

Battle on the Grounds; Middle of the Night

Banni crashed straight into one of the creatures. He kicked the foul beast and made to unsheathe his sword, just as one of the beasts lunged for him. Banni ducked, rising as he slashed the creature in half.

He worried for the students, that they would experience the chaos of battle this early in life. None of them had to do this, but many of them had decided on it. To them, Hogwarts was their home as much as it was Banni's. He would have to remember that.

"ALRIGHT! CLEAR A PATH TO THE FOREST!"

Banni fought on, all the while searching for any sign of the other centaurs, praying that they hadn't been overwhelmed.

Nate charged straight into the oncomign surge of foul creatures, firing curses and hexes as fast as he could. Now he was up close to the wall of creatures he realized just how many there were - there were hundreds! He had been using Stunners initially but he now knew that that wouldn't be enough. Some might object to what he was about to do but he knew it was necessary. "Confringo!" he roared and watched as four or five red caps literally exploded into nothing with an earth shattering roar.

He caught glimpses of his 7th years fighting valiantly just to his left and right, one young girl in particular was firing off at a rate of nearly 3 spells a second. The redcaps in front of her were falling particularly quickly as they attempted to force their way through to the Forest. "Good job, Charlotte. Keep it up guys!"

Professor McKenna lead the surge of Slytherin seventh years onto the grounds, halting before the mass of redcaps that had assembled outside the barriers.

"Attack!" she commanded her students, watching as beams of multicoloured light beamed past her and into the crowd of redcaps. In the blink of an eye she whipped her wand up and around herself in several circles, in a sort of dance-like motion. With a blast of light, a chain of fire erupted from the tip of her wand, encircling her body like a coiled snake. With great effort she threw her arm down from above her head, leading the fire into a whipping frenzy, causing minor explosions on impact with the frontline of redcaps, sending the lines backward.

"I'll stay here and hold our ground until you get back," Professor McKenna yelled as Bannishtar lead the charge towards the Forbidden Forest. In another graceful motion, Professor McKenna withdrew the chain of fire and wrapped it around herself again, repeating the same relentless assault she had unleashed initially, blasting the redcaps further back.

Kane threw Stunning Spell after Stunning Spell, never letting down his defenses. Every once in a while, he saw some other students being attacked and cast protective charms to help them. "Stupefy!" he screamed. He saw two Redcaps that stood next to each other fall at the same time. He began to scream the spells at the top of his lungs, fighting for his home away from home. The pure blood in him, however, kept him from putting all others before himself. Whenever he saw a Redcap too close to him that he could not attack it, he simply pointed his wand at the ground and yelled "Protego Totalum!" He couldn't wait for them to approach him, and he advanced ever forward into battle, sending Stunning Spell after Stunning Spell, using the occasional Petrification spell. He would be casting spell after spell and eventually, it slipped out! "RAZORUS!" He'd sent Dark Magic soaring through the air, slicing through tens of tens of Redcaps.

He noticed that Banni was being held up by a particularly nasty redcap and raced to help him. He felled the creature with a jab of his wand and grabbed the centaur's shoulder. "Professor McKenna and the Slytherins will hold the line against Hogwarts. We have to push forward as soon as we can before they have time to come up with a suitable counter attack." And with that sentiment he rallied the Ravenclaws and Gryffindors to him with a cry. "Press forward everyone. Fire as quickly as you can. Just start running and firing, don't stop for anything!" The group of 10 or so all directed their wands forwards and began firing a literal wave of magic at the redcaps which started to force a pathway through the mass. Nate ran forward and began his penetration towards the Forest.

Taylor fought her way across the grounds, trying to ignore the overwhelming stench of blood as she and the others made their way to the forest. Suddenly, Taylor let out a sharp gasp of pain and looked down to see that a Red Capp had slashed at her leg with it's crude knife, leaving a large gash. Cursing, Taylor kicked th offending creature as hard as she could with her unharmed foot, watching it land a few feet away with a sickening CRACK and, after a hasty attempt at healing the gash in her shin, continued on, slowly going through the swarm of dwarves, trying to keep an eye on the handful of Hufflepuffs fighting with her, trying to curse any creatures that came near them as well as the ones attacking her-finally, she was forced to turn her full attention on the mass of Red Capps swarming around her and let them hold their own, although she kept trying to get back to them, as if determined to keep them out of harms way...

Karolina followed Banni out the doors, seeing some of the Red Caps start their assault. She began running near them, casting a bubblehead charm around her mouth to protect her from harmful gases.

She reached inside her cloak and held two vials of yellow liquid. Once uncapped or broken, the liquid inside would emit a poisonous gas to incapacitate anyone who happens to be around it. She always kept a few handy in her office, brewed to perfection. She had summoned them moments ago.

She started lobbing them one after the other across where there were great concentrations of Red Caps. She kept duplicating them with her wand, so she could keep throwing them into their throngs.

She heard a high pitched scream as one Red Cap was unlucky enough to have been hit directly with a vial.

As a Red Cap came upon her she yelled, "SECTUSEMPRA!" and watched as his entire uniform became drenched in blood.

She looked around for more victims.

Kane heard his Head of House's speech and immediately cast a variety of different spells, bringing down Redcap after Redcap. He pointed his wand at a large one, nearly twice as big as the others, and screamed a curse. "SECTUMSEMPRA!" There was a shriek, and the Redcap fell to the floor, its head rolling to Kane.

Kane kicked the head hard, and it flew and knocked another Redcap in the head, killing it instantly. He smiled and yelled to the Redcaps. "DON'T MESS WITH PURE BLOOD! WE ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OF YOU BEINGS!" He pointed his wand at a horde of six Redcaps and screamed. "RAZORUS!" He had to resort to Dark Magic. It was the only form of magic strong enough.

Julian emerged onto the Grounds and simply looked out across the field at what was actually a large battle. He had been unwillingly to admit it, but it did seem as if there was a real battle on their hands with possible consequences. Still, he didn't really care and knew they'd win eventually but Julian just hoped he got to cause some damage before they did.

He scanned the line for Kane or Tristan or any other obnoxious weeds he despised and was rewarded when he found Kane firing spells and protecting any other student who got caught out. Seeing the little nerd acting the hero made his blood boil and he silently made his way over to where the boy was fighting. Not that he needed to worry about being heard over the noise of a hundred creatures, both wizard and redcap, screaming in pain and terror.

Look out behind you, Kane. I'm coming for you.
Are you my next victim? Are you my next prey?

Banni nodded, decapitating yet another Red Cap. Banni was feeling somewhat inadequate over the fact that, unlike the wizards, he had to take them down one at a time. However, noticed one of the creatures lunging for Nate from behind.

"Nate! Look out!" but Banni could not get to his bow fast enough. However, something large and dark grabbed the thing just as it neared Nate. Banni looked up, and saw Nightwing the hippogriff carting off the screaming redcap. All of the others of the school's hippogriff heard had joined the battle, and were all either dive bombing them, carrying them off, or otherwise mauling them with their razor sharp beaks and talons.

Banni raced over to Nate, getting an idea. He sheathed his sword and drew his bow, aiming for the sky.

"Nate!" he called, "cast a spell on my arrow!"

((OOC: Whatever the arrow does when he fires it is up to you, Nate))

Nate touched his wand to the arrow notched in Banni's bow, muttering an incantation for several seconds before opening his eyes, nodding. "Fire that above them and stand back." He raced off to join his group who were making good headroads towards the Forest.

OOC - I have no idea what it could do so I put it back on you. :)

Professor McKenna blasted her way towards Professor Stuart, whipping redcaps out of her way by the dozen.

"Are you alright," she yelled over the commotion of bellowed spells and agonized redcaps, not noticing that the Hufflepuffs were beginning to become surrounded.

Damn it! I'm coming!

Professor McKenna brandished her whip of fire and continued forcing her way towards the Hufflepuffs.

"Watch out!" she commanded them as she got close. She withdrew the whip of fire and aimed her wand at the ground near the Hufflepuffs. "Conflagrate!" she screamed, and a long line of fire shot towards the ground near the Hufflepuffs. With a quick flick of her wrist, she made a long line of fire on the ground, creating a wall of fire between the bulk of the redcaps and the Hufflepuffs. "That will help cover your back!" Professor McKenna informed them with a smile.

Taylor was visibly relieved as Stephanie ran over, although her wand never stopped firing.

"Thanks...STUPEFY!....for that...REDUCTO!" Taylor called over her shoulder to Slytherin, blasting five or so Red Capps head on as she did so.

"Where the Hell are they all coming from!?!" she exclaimed to no one in particular as the beasts kept pouring out of the forest. "REDUCTO!"

Jordanna followed Julian onto the grounds, whipping her head back and forth looking at the carnage unfolding in front of her, smiling; she was entertained by the screams of student and redcap alike. She stayed close to Julian, knowing he would undoubtedly protect her in a time of danger.

Jordanna stood with her back to Julian, covering his back as he approached Kane. She watched in awe as Professor McKenna seemingly danced around with her glorious whip of fire.

She knows some dark magic, that one.

"Here," Jordanna said to Julian, grabbing his shoulders and turning him around, bringing them face to face, and quite close and personal. "Let me do it," she demanded, licking her lower lip evilly. She circled around him, but made an effort to rub against him on the way round. Jordanna smiled as she again stood back to back with Julian, raising her wand and aiming it, without looking, at Kane.

"Incendio!" Jordanna screamed, and a bolt of fire launched itself at the back of Kane's robes.

Banni released the arrow, and had to immediately shield his eyes do the brilliant flash of light that was produced. It appeared for a moment as though his arrow had struck the night, piercing it and turning it to day. Then, seemingly hundreds of lights shot forth from the point at which the arrow had appeared to strike, tearing into the Red Caps closest to the forest.

The light was blinding, the sound was deafening, and when the night finally returned, there was left only a thick cloud of smoke where moments before a great number of the creatures had once stood.

Banni gawked, but the exclamations of "LOOK!" from one of the students made him look up again as a cloud of arrows shot forth from the smoke into the horde: His former herd had made it to the battlefield.

With his own morale bolstered by the two sides having effectively trapped the horde, Banni began slashing vigorously at every creature in his way with enough force to send their mutilated corpses flying.

Karolina kept lobbing the mustard-gas potions, as they kept swarming. She saw several students and professors at work, making substantial damage.

She pulled out of vial of bubbling red liquid and tossed it at a approaching redcap. The vial burst at his feet, the gas enveloping his form. He stepped out of the gas grinning maniacally at her--until he started to melt, right before her eyes. His skin started melting, then his muscle beneath, then the bone beneath that.

She had little time to relish the fact that her experimental potion was a success before a Red Cap tried to cut her down with his mace. She turned as he had it raised, a maddening fury in his eyes, and brought it down on her arm instead of her head, as was his intention. She winced in pain, hearing bone and flesh be split, her now useless arm was bloodied, but before he could raise his mace again to finish her she had deftly thrown another red potion directly in his face.

As his features started melting off of him, she walked blindly away, the pain in her arm excruciating. Blood was streaming through her sleeve and down onto the grass as she started stunning any Red Cap in her path. She dropped down to the ground, to catch her breath, her face pale and sweaty.

Precious strolled calmly onto the grounds. Spells and curses were flying everywhere. She sighed and thought: I might as well start somewhere. But why should I risk my life for some of these idiots? Some of these people don't even deserve to live. Brendon immediately popped in to her head. She looked around the grounds. The stupid little beasts are everywhere. She thought.

Nate was quite close to the forest and with a particularly frenzied slash of his wand cleared the pathway so he could enter the Forest. Most of the redcaps, now seeing him heading for the Forest, turned their attention away from him, more focused on felling those who were protecting the castle. He waited for the remainder of the students to catch up to him before speaking, "Several students and Professor Concordus are apparently trapped inside the Forest. It's our job to get to them and help them back." [

Nate took a deep breath and stepped across the threshold into the Forbidden Forest.

Mike ran onto the grounds. He stopped for a second, and among all the people, he noticed Precious. Her pink hair, was easy to spot out of the moonlight. He looked around noticed Red Caps were all over the place, then, he caught it in the corner of his eye: One Red Cap was going to attcak Precious. He ran towards her.
"Precious, behind you!" he yelled. He whipped out his wand, and yelled 'REDUCTO' but before yelled the spell, he tripped on his shoe lace, and the spell was sent, flying directly at Precious.

Precious turned around to someone yelling, "Precious, behind you!" only to find Brendon's handsome friend, Mike. He tripped on his shoe lace, with a curse flying to her. Idiot! She thought in her head. She ducked down as the spell flew past her head. "Idiot! What the fuck is your problem?" she yelled out to him.
