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?

Before Dinner; Day 1

be fearless; // EM: THE .GIF QUEEN!

Emma rushed into the unused classroom, breathing very heavily. She felt a bit better, but hunger pains were still grabbing at her stomach, feeling as though someone had a strong grip on her insides and were twisting. Biting her lip, she slumped against the wall, thinking softly about the day. Perhaps she was overreacting - it wasn't really as bad as it could have been. Picking herself up from the floor, Em put a delicate hand on the wall and felt the cold air around her, breathing heavily. The day had been long and tiring - but, sadly, this was only the beginning.

Moving towards the mirror, she could see her reflection in the corner. Fixing her hair a bit, she bit her lip, tugging at her hair. If only it was blonde again...

At that moment, she felt quite alone.
Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.

She said she usually cried at least once each day, not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful, and life was so short.

Xander entered the classroom and looked around. He looked and saw someone familiar. She had black hair, and the eyes he could never forget even though he tried numerous times doing so. He looked at Emma and was about to leave, but something in his mind had kept telling him to stay, even though it would probably make things worse.


He went over to her gently and crouched down beside her. "I thought..Emma was tougher." He said with a small grin, not trying to make her feel worse.

Emma felt the cold against her skin as she leaned against the stone wall, sighing a bit as tears fell down her cheeks once more - and then, she felt suddenly like she wasn't alone anymore. Holding her breath, she bit her lip as the last person she'd expect crouched down beside her, grinning a bit. What he said almost made her feel worse, but those were also the thoughts running through Emma's mind. I thought I was tougher.

Her lip shaking a bit, for a moment she tried to smile, although it seemed hard when memories of the day flashed back. Getting dumped and set on fire in the same day? It takes a lot out of a girl - especially one as vulnerable as Emma.

She peered into Xander's face. Something in her throat was keeping her from speaking. After a moment of simply staring, Em choked out, "I..don't even know what to think anymore, to be perfectly honest with you. I thought Emma was stronger too."
Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.

Xander stood up and sat down on the nearest desk, peering down at her. "This year..it's been tough on all of us. Even for me. I used to think that fifth year was going to be the hardest, but after all that's happened, even on the first day back, I done think I'm looking forward to anything else."

He closed his eyes before turning away from her. "I didn't know if you cared..or even wanted to know..but my father is dead.." He looked at his feet, sighing quietly. "Mum found him at his desk at the store, not breathing. Nobody knew the cause of death, but I guess it was stress-related from working so much.. He went quiet.

Emma bit her lip, watching Xander - the weight of her words hit him like a truck. She felt like someone, for a moment, had put a hand over her face to stop her breathing. Knowing simply that he loved his children more than anything, the opposite of her own parents, Em was always drawn to Xander's father. It was as though, for a while...she had wanted a father just like him.

Em grabbed Xander's arm, her eyes swimming with tears - although now, she wasn't crying because she felt sorry for herself. "Of course I care," she whispered. "I..I don't even know what to..say,"

Looking down at her feet, Em cleared her throat. "Okay, I get that you probably hate me right now - but your family felt closer to me than mine ever did." Em's hands began to shake violently as they still rested on his arm, and becoming increasingly aware of this she took her hands back and held them in her lap, staring at the ceiling, her mind numb.

Xander nodded. Emma was almost as part as his family as he was him and his mum and sister had been quite angry when had broken up with her, especially sister. Why would you break up with Emma? Who's going to help you with ballet now? She was so nice to you? How could you? Wait till I see you during Christmas holiday, Alexander! Xander didn't care what his sister said, but now he understood what her words meant to him.

"I know, Emma. And I was sorry to break up with you. It was a tough decision and my mind..was torn apart when I thought you were cheating on me with Hellius. But I guess I should have thought things through a head of time, ya know? That's..what my dad would have wanted. He always told me to think before doing something. I should have..listened to him." He said the last sentence quietly ans slowly.

Em bit her lip. Hellius. Sure, he had been...tempting, and it had been a rush...but was it worth it? As Em sat on the cold floor of the unused classroom, stomach rumbling from lack of food, leg still tingling, makeup all washed away by tears, it was obvious what the answer was. Yes, Hellius had taught her a few valuable life lessons - but if she could take it back, it was a bit obvious that she would. She enjoyed the mystery that Hellius was to her...but she would take it all back.

"Look, I'm sorry," squeaked Emma, her voice cracking. "I don't know...I should have listened to him, too. I should have thought. But I didn't - and, well," Em brought her knees up to her body and hugged herself tightly, her chin resting on her knees. "I can see why you hate me."

Xander grumbled and got her to her feet and sat her down on a desk and took his shirt and wiped her rather teared up face gently. "Look..I don't hate you, Emma, I never hated you, even after we broke up. Maybe..you were a bit of a frustration for me, but it was never past that. It was more, I guess awkward, but never hate.He gave her a soft smile. "Come on Emma, look at you? You shouldn't be crying like this. You should be a little happy, ya? He grinned and looked around for something to brighten her mood.


"I'm still looking for band member still, and you if you want, you can still be part of it. Tinsley can always be kicked out if need be, ya. And..I've been practicing a bit of ballet..just in case you ever wanted to dance with me again." He said with a small chuckle.

Emma smiled weakly. "I shouldn't be crying? Oh, but I think I should." She mumbled something under her breath, something she had not intended to say - "I pushed away the one person closest to me, honestly, I should be jumping for joy."

With a small giggle, Em hoped he hadn't heard her, and added, "And Tinsley? In a band? I won't say much, but just...be careful." Picking herself up from the floor, Em giggled again, feeling warmth flood her cheeks again as she blushed. "I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her."

Xander laughed. "With that big butt of hers, I doubt anyone could throw that git bloody two inches." He smiled again at her, feeling better now that they at least past speaking terms with each other and didn't simply stare at each other for awkward minutes at a time. He leaned back on the desk.

"So what have you been..up to? Probably playing guitar and practicing ballet, am I wrong? Of course we've had bit of homework." He nodded at the thought of homework and remembered he had Potion's to work on for the next time they had class.

Stanley, on his way to dinner, walked past the unused classroom. He heard talking as he passed, even with his largely known bad hearing. He walked back a few steps and looked inside the classroom, seeing a pair of Ravenclaw Fourth Years. He walked in and began to speak, his voice stern and demanding. "You there! You two! What are you doing here? This classroom is off limits! I demand to know what you are doing. Tell me now." His voice got softer and more understanding as he progressed through his rant. When he was finished, the two stood in shock. He grinned and ruffled a hand through his graying hair.

Xander watched the caretaker enter the class room and he nearly jumped as the man yelled at the two of them for being here. He quickly thought up something in his head and he turned to the old man. "Sir, we were just trying to tidy the room up so we could umm.." He looked for Emma for support and tried to think of something up quickly and blurted out, "allow Emma here to help me with ballet lessons. He suddenly took his hand to his mouth as uttered something horrible.

Peckle nearly gave her a heart attack with his shouting, and soon after Xander's excuses were nearly as bad. Ballet? Honestly? What was the poor old man going to say to that? Emma blushed violently and covered her face in her hands. "Honestly, we weren't doing anything..." It was true - they weren't really doing anything, just sitting around and crying. She felt tempted to roll her eyes, as professors were increasingly becoming more of an annoyance.

Yup, back to school!

Stanley stared at the boy with discontent. "Oh were you now? Tell me the truth, young children." His left eyebrow rose as he looked at them skeptically. He looked at the girl as she spoke up. "You weren't then? You promise you are telling the truth?" He looked at them again, skeptically. He watched as the girl seemed to show an attitude. He looked at the both of them and grinned. "Whatever you say. But can you do your 'nothing' somewhere else? Like I said before, this classroom is strictly off limits. I'd advise you all to leave immediately." He grinned as he turned away. "You don't want... a detention, now, do you?"

"I..was telling the truth..but whatever, SIR. We'll go somewhere else.." He glared at the man, not finding him funny or even slightly humorous at the moment. He looked over at Emma. "Shall we 'practice' somewhere else?" He said with a slight smirk. He gave her a look of trying to keep his excuse sounding realistic and to go with it.

Emma rolled her eyes for a moment, a small smirk on her face. "Of course not, Professor. We wouldn't want a detention," She said this, and then thought, Or another detention. After what happened with Fera, we're both bound to get into trouble.

Em lightly grabbed Xander's arm. "I guess I'll, erm...see you at dinner, oui?" Smiling brightly she glanced at Professor Peckle one more time, she whipped her hair behind her and walked out of the room, noticeably happier than before.

...And as her hand tingled pleasantly from touching Xander's arm, she could only guess why she was suddenly so happy.

Xander smirked at Em and gave her a pleasant look as she left. He looked at the caretaker. "See ya..SIR!" He said with a rather sarcastic SIR at the end of his farewell and he left the classroom.

Annoyed with the children's arrogance, Stanley glared at them as they left the room. He then, noticing that it was now time for dinner, left for the Great Hall.
