| 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.

Xander and Violetta arrived on the grounds. Xander quickly pulled out his wand and began Accioing many different things, all of them landing on the ground softly. They were instruments he had kept in storage in his room since he arrived. His dad, God rest his soul, had let him borrow them for the year when he mentioned to him about his grand idea. His father was delighted when he learned his son was doing something rather important then just chasing girls around all year. He positioned the instruments softly on the grass, putting the drums behind the guitar and laid the microphone in front. Magic was different with music. He could activate amps ad speakers with a simple tap, considering muggle things didn't work at Hogwarts. Music seemed to be the slight exception and he knew it would work. He picked up his own guitar and strapped it around him. "Ok..now we wait. You can..umm..practice if you want. I'm going tune my guitar a bit." He told Violetta, as he adjusted the strings and fixed his amp. |

Violetta smirked and cleared her throat. She didn't have to try much to sing - it came naturally to her, more natural than anything ever had. She had never heard anyone better than her - except for some people on the radio, of course. Sighing, she sat on a patch of grass and opened her mouth to sing softly. With a voice like honey, she began to sing softly to herself, her voice causing goose bumps to spring forth on her arms. "Honey, honey, honey you're the death of me, won't stop holding my hands down..Baby, baby, baby you'll never let me..You've got a dark heart. You've got a cold kiss, but you are my love, my love, my love.." Sighing, she kept singing and tapping her foot in time, forgetting for a moment where she was. ooc | The song is Honey, by The Hush Sound, since Greta (the lead singer's) voice is exactly how I'm imagining Violet's.

Xander listened for a moment before finishing tuning his guitar. He closed his eyes, then began strumming slowly, then speeding up the strumming faster and faster, moving his left hand along the frets quickly, hitting chords ever so often. He hadn't played the guitar in a long time and he was still a bit rusty, but the sound was turning out pretty good. Violetta was a pretty good singer, but obviously she was still simply practing. A rock band had to create a sound by every member and the music they would eventually create would be one chosen and developed by every member. Right now everyone was doing their own little thing, which was fine with him. He looked around. Nobody else showed up yet. |

Tinsley smirked, her auburn hair falling in curls on her shoulders. With a hand on her hip, she strode across the grass, keeping her eyes on Xander surrounded by his instruments. She snorted. Who did he think he was? He wasn't going to change anything - even if he had dragged that pathetic Gryffindor girl with him. Clearing her throat rather loudly, she came up behind Xander and ran her fingers down his back as she usually did with him. Something in teasing him as such just made her want to chuckle. "Well, aren't you productive? Look at you." She sat down at a drum kit and stepped on the bass pedal. "Got everything set, hmm?" |

Xander saw Tinsley and he looked at her. "Get off the drum set. I decided you aren't going to be part of this band anymore. I don't need someone who treats others like trash to be part of it. Think of ruining everyone's fun. Not going to bloody happen. I know how you are. I might have bought that sad story earlier, but not anymore. I know how to talk behind my back, I'm not stupid. You aren't the drummer." He said, looking over at Violetta wondering what she would say about this sudden change in him. |

Tinsley's eyes narrowed. She kept hitting the bass pedal. "What are you going to do, Johnson, jinx me?" Picking up the drum sticks, she began to play a beat with force and skill - Violetta's eyebrows were arched, visibly impressed. Tinsley threw the drumsticks behind her as she finished, and she got up with a final smirk. She approached Xander, her eyes narrowed into slits, her voice dropped low in a menacing whisper. "You're not stupid? Well, honey, that's news to me." Her hand clasped around Xander's wrist, her nails digging into his skin. "You're too smart for your own good." She let go roughly, her expression vicious. Pushing past him with force, she stomped back up to the castle, scowling fiercely. |

Violetta gasped as Tinsley walked away, her eyes widened in shock. Feeling an odd chill, she shuddered. Thank gosh Tinsley had never caught Violet spying on her...the ferocity in which she had reacted to Xander was a bit shocking. Tinsley was like a ticking time bomb. But Violet was more surprised, however, that Xander had figured out Tinsley's plan before she had. She thought she knew everything in the school... "Well, umm.." coughed Violet, her eyes widened as Tinsley's retreating back yelled curses into the air at no one in particular. "That was...awkward." |

Mike stepped onto the grounds, finding a Ravenclaw boy (Xander) and a pretty Gryffindor girl (Violetta). He walked over to them, and then saw instruments on the floor. He smiled as he saw a bass guitar-his favorite. He picked up the guitar, and said: "Hey there. Your Xander right? I heard your startin' a band. I'm interested in playin the bass-and nothing else." he took a guitar pic out of his pocket, and strummed a few strings. OOC| Tis me, Precci. You said I could have the bass spot, right brother? |

Xander watched Tinsley storm off and he looked over at Violetta. "Long story..and yeah, a bit awkward." He said with a grin. He strummed a guitar for a few more minutes. He looked up from the frets and saw a boy his age walk towards him. He was in the same house as him. Mike..Endicott was his name, if he could remember correctly. He looked to be a bit good with a bass guitar. "Aye mate, play me a few riffs on the bass guitar and we'll see if we can't get ya a spot in the band. Not many have auditioned for the bass yet, but it's no good if you don't put a little effort into, ya?" |

Claire was walking around the grounds when she saw a group of people. She wondered who they were for a moment before remembering hearing Tinsley mention something about a band -- but the awful girl wasn't there. Curiously, Claire approached the group and saw that there sat an empty drum kit. She felt the extreme urge to sit down and play something at it...she'd loved learning the drums because it drove her parents crazy. They had paid countless dollars to make her a skilled pianist, but she had thrown the teachings away and taught herself the drums. "Can I give it a try?" She asked tenatively, directing her question towards the boy who seemed to be in charge. |

Xander nodded to the new girl who arrived. "If you need help, let me know. I'm no drummer, but I got the whole rythmn and such thing down, so yell if you need help." He watched her get nestled into the drum set as he looked over at Mike. "Bloody good show, ya? You might make the cut, you will. I don't think anyone can play the bass as well as you do." He looked around. The band was starting to become something now. Everyone was coming together and he thought he could see some actual progress with these people. All they needed was possibly a keyboardist and maybe a rhythmn guitarist. That would complete the band. |

Claire smiled at him and settled herself in the chair, taking a look around the set. Single bass pedal, hi-hat, the normal stuff. She picked up a pair of sticks that were near the kit and gripped them loosley before doing some experimental rolls and flams to get a feel. She ten did a simple eighth note rhythm with her right hand, adding some bass and her left hand on alternating beats. To jazz it up, she hit the hi-hat instead of the snare and did a one-hand roll before going at all the pads. "I'm afraid I sound a bit out of shape," Claire admitted sadly. "I haven't played in a while." |

Xander watched Claire as he spoke to Mike. She was pretty good at drums, he had to admit. He nodded in approval and walked over to her. "Looks like you got the spot, Claire. Just keep practicing every now and then when you have time to do it. I know school work and other things can keep a person busy, but we all have responsibilities. I have Quidditch myself to worry about as well, so I have to manage this as well between that and school work. You looked good though, very good. " He gave her a small smile. |

Claire was genuinely surprised when the boy came up to her and told her she had the spot -- how did he know her name? Now she felt guilty because she couldn't remember what his was. Oh well. "Yeah, sure," she agreed. If they thought that was good, just wait. When she played actively she sounded fantastic. Her father had even complimented her once. Of course, then he had asked her if she wanted to audition for the local youth symphony. She was so tired of classical music. "So, um, what's your name?" Claire almost laughed at how ridiculous she sounded asking. |

Mike smiled, then, he began to play. He tried to remember the notes from a song that had the bass player playing till' his fingers were on fire. That song was "No Brakes" by the muggle band, The Bravery. He smiled and looked up at Xander. "That good enough for you?" he asked. OOC|I told you guys I was obsessed with The Bravery. XD |

Xander nodded to Mike in approval to his bass playing. "Great mate, you're in!" He said patted the boy in the shoulder and went back to Claire. "Xander Johnson." He said simply to her. He looked over at Violetta and Mike and nodded. The band was perfect. Maybe a rythmn guitarist and it would be 100% perfect. But where could he get another. Emma..she would have done everything to help him..but not now, not after everything that has happened. |

Stanley, having heard a disturbance out on the Grounds, emerged onto the vast green field. He walked the grounds, scouting for something that was amiss. He finally noticed that there was a group of students out on the field. He walked up to them and began to speak. "Hello, students." He was going to start slow, make it look like they weren't in trouble; then he would snap the trap shut, and they would all be in detention. He didn't reveal this on his face though, because it would seem that he was eager to bust them. |

Violetta got up from the grass and smiled at Claire and Mike, "I'm Violetta." Turning to Xander, she beamed, and said, "So I guess I'll audition now, right? I can't miss this fun." Chuckling softly, she waited expectantly, excited to blow everyone away. And then Violetta rolled her eyes as she saw someone that looked like a Professor stroll across the grounds, smirking. Even though she had caught a brief glimpse of his face, she knew that voice anywhere - Stanley Peckle. Of course it was the man who busted Xander in the unused classroom. If Violetta was sure of anything it was Peckle's want to give them all a huge detention. She had eavesdropped on him enough to know what he was really like. "Xander," whispered Violet, disregarding Peckle's light and airy tone, "We're in trouble." Well, wouldn't that be fun? Detention on the first day back. |

Xander looked over at Violetta menitoning about trouble and he turned around from Claire and came to face Professor Peckle who looked like he was up to something, but Xander didn't exactly know. The man was probably still angry from the incident earlier. If he was going to bust him, he'd go straight to Professor Aphelion this time. "Come to hear the music, Professor? We're just holding auditions in the moment. We haven't created any songs yet, but we're slowly working on it.." |

"There's nothing wrong with music, right, Professor?" said Violetta, smiling sweetly. She knew, however, that he was going to try and give them detention no matter what. He wasn't nearly as nice as he seemed on the outside. Violetta stood close behind Xander, her hands on her hips indignantly. Clearing her throat, she walked back over to the tree where her bag was. Leaning against the tree, she ripped a small scrap of paper and scribbled a note on it very quickly, writing with one of her trusty Muggle pens rather than a Quill. Smiling, she made her way back to Xander. Standing very close behind him and keeping her eyes on Professor Peckle so that he would not notice, she grabbed Xander's hand and slipped him the note. It read: Hey, I can see through Peckle - the auditions are over. Meet me in the student lounge after the Quidditch game and I'll sing for you. Hoisting her bag over her shoulder, Violetta smiled very sweetly. "If you plan on giving them detention, I'm a fourth year Gryffindor - Violetta Sparks. Wouldn't want to miss the fun in detention. But I have to go. You know, homework on the first day back. Adios, amigos." Her bag on her shoulder, she made her way back up to the castle, feeling happy butterflies in her stomach. |
