| 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.

Violetta walked into the empty unused classroom after lunch, her head heavy and dizzy for some strange reason. She had left Jenny Brooks in a haze of curious thoughts, feeling that familiar tingling and anxiety in the pit of her stomach. She immediately rushed into the classroom to remain hidden, and now hung in the shadows, shaking in the corner. What's going on with me? She violently grabbed her bag and dug through it with fervor and determination. She pulled out a mirror to examine her reflection, noticing her eyes were not their usual shade of dark chocolate brown but the exact of Jenny Brooks'. With a small gasp, Vi dropped the mirror, her hands shaking from the mere thought. She bit her lip, unable to grip reality, unsure of where to turn next... Vi put two and two together. She had been thinking intently about Jenny's beautiful eyes, and therefore Vi's eyes mirrored hers. Grabbing the mirror once again, Violetta closed her eyes and squeezed them shut. She sighed and drew a shaky breath, her whole body pulsating with some sort of untraceable magic running swiftly through her blood. She concentrated wholeheartedly on this one person until Vi thought she could explode from the pressure inside of her head - her stomach felt as though it was twisting and her limbs were being pulled by an invisible force, yanking her to her breaking point - And then it abruptly stopped. Vi's ragged breaths could be heard throughout the classroom. Glancing into the mirror, she did not see her eye staring back, but Jenny's. Holding the mirror away from her face, she dropped it very suddenly. The glass shattered on the floor and Violet threw her hands to her face, pinching her cheeks and trying to make it just go away. With a shriek, she felt the same pins and needles until in the broken fragments of mirror, her normal reflection stared back at her, looking pale and frightened. Unsure of how that happened, Violet anxiously scratched her head for a moment, thinking. I can make this really...really work for me. If I practice, if I try.. ...This doesn't have to be a curse. And Vi picked up a fragment of mirror and attempted to morph her appearance again. It never got any easier dealing with the awkward sensations, but by the third time Violetta had transformed into Precious Hindert and back, Vi felt confident. Unusually...confident. Finally, Vi sat in silence, back to her old self with the exception of a stand of pink in her hair she couldn't seem to make vanish. However, it was growing on her. It was a part of the new and improved Violetta Sparks. ...Hmm. Where's Xander?... |

Emma entered the unused classroom, for a moment unaware that anyone was in there but her. She kicked the wall in a burst of angst and then inhaled and exhaled rapidly like a wounded animal, sinking to the floor and pressing her forehead against her knees. She wasn't quite sure why she was so angry, but Emma always enjoyed being the best. Now, however, it seemed like she was the runner up for everything. And Violetta Sparks had made Emma truly realize that while Em detested much of what Vi stood for, she was as human as anyone else. That dumb, ridiculous, conceited piece of work... |

"Excuse me, Gray," said Violet suddenly, noticing her entrance and smirking, "But shouldn't you be in class?" Violet waltzed over to Emma and towered over her, standing with her hands on her hips and her bossy, vile voice echoing through the empty classroom. "You seem like too much of an overacheiver to dare miss a moment of class. What on earth has gotten into you?" Smirking dangerously, Vi teased Emma not at all playfully. Her tone was hurtful and...just plain mean. |

Emma yawned, her eyebrows raised sharply. "When you smirk, you look incredibly ugly. Thought you ought to know." She leaned against the wall, suddenly angry that she had even let Vi get to her once. With a simple smile, Emma would not let Violetta into her head again. She would mess with her mind...mess with everything. If Xander wanted to date Pandora reincarnated, then more power to him. But Emma was going to shut this box full of evil forever. "Be careful who you talk to like that," said Emma, her eyes glaring but her voice calm and purposeful. "You might end up regretting it. You know, biting your tongue. I'm sure you do that a lot." Em's hand was clenched tightly on her wand which was sitting in her pocket. Bring it on. |

Violet blinked, wondering if Summer had talked to Emma in the small time frame between lunch and third period. It was true, Vi usually felt bad about the certain things she said, at times almost wishing she was as modest as her peers. But something always held Vi's chin up higher a bit longer. It seemed as though she were destined to be what she is. Her years of looking around corners was now becoming a career for her, and appearing before her eyes. ...Even if now it was beginning to cost her everything she cared about. "Say what you will, Emma, but you don't know anything in my opinion," shrugged Violet, rolling her eyes as though she did not have a care in the world. "You're just jealous that I won." |

"Won what?" said Emma shrilly, standing up finally to stare Violet in the eye. She held Vi's eye contact and wouldn't release it even if her eyes burnt right then and there. "Won Charlie Johnson's heart? Won a coveted spot in the Daily Prophet? At what price, Violet? It's not like anyone likes you." Em sighed, folding her arms across her chest and dully observing Violet. "Except maybe Xander." |

"Exactly. You're just jealous that Xander's mine. You could care less about my gossiping," spat Violet, her hands still firmly on her hips. "In fact, I think you use this self riteous nonsense as an excuse. Well, this just in. Perfect is boring, and everyone thinks you are as perfect as the untouched, virgin snow. So why don't you just give it a rest, Em?" Violet yawned and turned away from Emma, picking up her things from the corner of the room where they had been sitting, careful to step over the broken shards of glass glittering in the dim light. She picked up the latest copy of the Sparks Report she was getting ready to send off to Charlie Johnson and put it on the desk beside where she was standing. Then Violet began to pace. "You're probably jealous of me, anyway," mumbled Violet, and her chunk of pink hair seemed to stand out even more vibrantly. |

"I'd never be jealous of you. Never," said Emma, shrugging. Her blue eyes locked with the copy of the Sparks Report on the desk. I wouldn't... ...Would I? She grinned, feeling as though some sort of Karma God had handed her this situation, patted her back, and told her to run with it. As Violetta would pace, she would occasionally turn her back towards Emma. In the split second that she turned, Emma swiftly and surreptitiously summoned the parchment, slipping it discreetly into her back pocket. "You know what? I take that back. You do win," said Emma, moving forward to pat Violet's back. Glaring as she did so, she then said, "And I like the pink in your hair. Should I call you Precious Sparks instead?" Without another word, Emma strode through the door, feeling vindicated, with the latest rough draft of the Sparks Report in her back pocket, enveloped and ready to be shipped to Charlie Johnson. This will be...interesting. |

Unable to contain her anger, Violet screamed out in frustration when she was sure that Emma was out of ear shot. She picked up her things, glancing to the desk. Where'd the issue go?... ...Didn't I bring it to the Owlery already?...Oh, yes, I'm sure that's what happened. And with her nose in the air, Violet headed to COMC. |

Emma entered the same classroom hoping Violetta wasn't there anymore. Em needed a place to relax and calm herself down, and perhaps try to sort through her foggy mind to find the truth buried among all the supressed memories...and yet, the Room of Requirement was so overused these days... Even if it was her using it. Just standing outside the room reminded her of Hellius. And so Emma paced, biting her lip and trying to think. So...why is this a big deal to me? I mean, the whole me-almost-saying-his-name thing. Like, I almost said I couldn't stop thinking about him...which totally isn't true at all...Right? Even though I'm obsessing right now... Em grimaced. |

Tinsley entered and hung in the doorway, smirking as Emma paced back and forth. How...sad. She obviously seemed preoccupied about something, and the most cunning Carmichael did not doubt she was uneasy about one boy in particular who Precious was most likely killing by now. Precious really wasn't afraid of anything...it was kind of disconcerting at times. "Don't seem so awkward, Gray," snapped Tinsley and coming forward, "You'd be kind of pretty if you were in Slytherin." ooc | Major foreshadowing, please I beg of you. Oh, yeah, and posting with myself again...Kellie G will most likely laugh, haha. |

Emma heard that voice and knew it well. It was the same voice that resembled nails on a chalk board quite early in the morning and brought a dry feeling to Em's mouth. Oh, great. Turning swiftly and careful not to expose her back to Tinsley, Em said proudly and bravely, "I'd never be a Slytherin. Don't make me laugh." Yet Em showed no signs of laughing. Her face had taken on a blank look and when she spoke, her voice was harsh and cold, practically a monotone. She was breathing evenly, and something was eerily calm about her appearance except for her fierce blue eyes, which were now shooting daggers in Tinsley's direction. "I wouldn't want to rub elbows with people like you and Precious. I'd be afraid of catching some...disease." |

Tinsley simply shrugged and walked, one foot in front of the other, one sensual pop of her hip after another, until she finally perched on the edge of an unused dress. "See, you say that now. The thing is, everyone harbors a little secret love for Tinsley Carmicheal. Even you know it." Tinsley threw back her head and laughed coldly, finally lifting her head so gaze contemplatively at Emma. The girl had potential, no matter how firmly she tried to deny that. She had stood up to Precious and had barely even squirmed under Precious' stare...and that same stare was one that could turn hearts into stone and plants burst into flames. "What's so bad about Slytherin, anyway?" Tinsley rolled her eyes. Maybe she's jealous we have more fun. |

Emma took a moment to think about Tinsley's question, disregarding her conceited mumbles. If Tinsley truly thought people really secretly loved her, she was sorely mistaken and much more insane than Emma originally thought. "Yeah, because when people try to kill you, that's a secret lingo for I love you," Emma snorted and stood across the room from Tinsley, her arms firmly across her chest, her gaze piercing Tinsley's with barely any emotion. "So...what's so bad about Slytherin. Exhibit One - History of Magic class. Like, are you kidding?" Emma rolled her eyes and glared at Tinsley. "I'm not into the whole, 'Let's go ruin a life today!' lifestyle. I think you girls may be overcompensating for something." What am I saying?! She's going to kill me... Yet something in Tinsley's eyes showed no signs of anger...only simple interest. |

Tinsley nodded in simple agreement, grinning calmly at Em's words. Today Emma seemed to be dead on with every one of Tins' expectations...and for some reason, Tinsley was...warming up to her. ...Oops. "Overcompensating? That's a good one," shrugged Tinsley, thinking about what Emma had said very intently before replying with any solid answer. "Well, Hellius is another story. He obviously wants to see me dead, but I'd rather not talk badly about your little boyfriend in front of you. He may want to see me dead and kill me at every damn chance he gets, but maybe he's sweet to you. How would I know?" |

Emma winced. "Hellius isn't my boyfriend. We're just...friends. Like Grant and I are friends, but we're not about to go get married. Girls and boys can be just friends, Tinsley, as much as you seem to doubt that on a daily basis." Em shrugged, trying to rack her minds with some sort of defense...and yet that was the plain and simple truth. Suddenly the shock that Emma was having a civilized conversation with Tinsley hit Em with the same sort of ferocity that a truck would have. "But what do you care?" |

"Hmm. You're right...What do I care?" Tinsley watched Emma with her bright eyes, shrugged, and did not break eye contact. "Open your ears and listen intently, because I will only say this once. You have potential, Gray, and you don't have it for just any old reason. I sense something...special about you. Perhaps we were friends in a past life." Tinsley's tone was a bit mocking and condescending but her words were very true. "Don't step on my toes, and I won't step on yours...but pat my back, and I'll undoubtedly pat yours. You don't need Guitar Genius to succeed, Gray. In fact...I think you're better off without him." |

Emma had been staring intently at the floor while Tinsley stared her down, and now Emma finally looked up, frowning. "No offense, Carmicheal, but we're two different people. We'd never be able to...you know, be friends. We're just...opposites. And I'm glad you think I'm special or whatever, but...you know, it's just...we're opposites. And in this case... ...Opposites really don't attract." |

Tinsley smirked, suddenly quite shocked and hurt that Emma didn't...well, flock to Tinsley's side like a puppy would to its master. "Didn't you hear Professor Aviza in class today? There's good and evil in all of us, Gray. I can see that spark in yours eyes, little E. We're not as different as you might think." Tinsley continued to gaze at Emma with mild curiosity, glancing towards the door for a brief moment. It had been one of the first times anyone had ever rejected an invitation to be her friend, and Tinsley felt that although it was to be expected from the vile Little Miss Perfect, it was still a little offending. Like a disconcerted bird she seemed to ruffle her feathers and puff out her chest a bit too proudly to try to....well, overcompensate. Damn, Gray is good. "And you'll see this all in good time. Trust me, Gray. I'm hardly ever wrong." |

Emma arched an eyebrow and smirked for a moment. Tinsley seemed somewhat offended by Em's witty remarks, but she could hardly care less. Emma knew deep in her heart that she was...well, good. She was far too sweet to ever run through the castle breaking hearts with Tinsley...right? Flashbacks. Flash to Emma standing over her Cinderella dress, watching it burn, laughing sadistically as the flames swept up and smoked fillled the Ravenclaw girls' dormitory. Flash to Emma lying in Hellius' hospital bed, devoid of emotion and more numb than she had ever been. Flash to Emma in the student lounge with Sawyer West and Kayden Slayer. "And you'll see this all in good time. Trust me, Gray. I'm hardly ever wrong." "I guess there's a first time for everything," said Emma with more wit than she'd intended. |
