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?

Violet Slayer
Fifth Year

At Hellius' nasty words, Vi's chest rose up indignantly. Arching an eyebrow she glanced down at her notepad. Her quill was angrily scribbling across the page, cutting the paper with its speed. Violet placed a hand on her waist and smirked.

He thinks he's so awesome - I'll show him.

"Hmm, seems to be a touchy subject," she said airily, rolling her eyes. The look he was giving her was somewhere in between contemptuous hatred and mild amusement - she couldn't quite figure it out. "Aren't you a little Negative Nancy today. Tsk, tsk."

Vi was aware of how irritating she was being, but she seemed fueled by it. On the rare occasions where she actually liked acting like the pompous reporter Charlie Johnson loved, she had fun with it. But it was like acting. She was just a shell. The real Violetta wasn't any of this show she was putting on...but, again, in the moment, Vi was having fun pushing Hellius' buttons. His mordant and sneering attitude didn't bode well with her.

"Did anyone ever suggest therapy for you, Surla?" asked Vi, seizing the quill and holding it in her grip, waiting for his answer so she could write it down. She waited for the inevitable sneering retort he would have, ready to accept it with open arms and a witty new addition to her fourth Sparks Report...

If we see a man glorifying his race, gender, or creed, we can understand there is nothing about himself that deserves glorification.

Hellius just stared at Violette for a moment, allowing his eyes to fully take in the structure of her face and her unfortunately witty derogatory that seemed to fuel her. With every word that came out of the girl's mouth, there were so many things that he desperately wanted to do. Sighing and chuckling a few times out of sheer sarcasm, a smirk widened across his lips and he drifted his gaze off to the side.

"You know, I've heard that your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory. Is that true?" Hellius laughed, bringing his gaze back to the girl's face.

Violet paused for a moment, and didn't write anything at all. She lowered her notebook and blinked a couple of times, simply trying to understand what had just happened. Did he really just say what I think he said? ...That...wasn't...funny. She blinked for a second, visibly stunned and abashed.

Violet cleared her throat and said, "I'll take that as a yes, you've had therapy. Either that, or you seriously need it. So, Surla. Tell me. Are you usually this rude to people you barely know?" Vi's chocolate brown eyes were fierce with anger. "Funny, I thought people like the God-like Precious Hindert and Constanta and maybe even Miss Perfect held themselves up to a higher standard. I guess they're just as low as you are. Level with the dirt."

Violet laughed harshly and then scribbled words into her notebook.

She was asking to get hurt. In fact...begging.

Hellius' face dropped to a blank stare of hatred. In one moment, he was actually beginning to enjoy himself, but now, he wasn't entertained in the least. Tapping his fingers rather loudly against the bark of the tree, the veins running under his skin looked as if they were being pushed out; the blue wire being very visible compared to the pale orange of his skin. "You know... I actually contemplated why you don't have any friends, Violet. There were moments when I simply looked at you and pondered, what's so bad about this chick? After a little consideration and thought, I realized why everyone in this school hates you: its because if there's even one person that you can get close to, you'll have them tell you every little flaw about their life and then it'll be headlines in the paper."

Drawing his wand slowly, Hellius kept straight, settle movements. "You know what I plan to do?"

Throwing himself down from the tree, the Gryffindor landed smoothly with his wand up his sleeve. Standing there for a brief moment, he tilted his head and retrieved his wand, flicking it at Violetta's notebook. "Incendio."

Violet listened intently to Hellius' words and was amazed at how much she took them to heart. Vi clenched her fists, trying not to listen, but she knew that every sarcastic word dripping out of Hellius' mouth was full of hatred...and he wasn't the only person that hated her.

Biting her lip extremely hard, Vi was ready to step back and walk away. Hellius' words rang through her head.

"You know what I plan to do?"

Violet shrugged. She could hardly care less. He was true - it would happen with Xander...Kayden, with Dahlia...even with Cameron. She couldn't hold a relationship if she tried.

"Incendio."

Violet gasped and screamed, the sounds echoing across the expanse of the Grounds - her Quick Quotes Quill and her notebook burst into flames, now mere piles of ash. Vi's jaw dropped and she immediately looked to her hands, which had been carrying the books. They were burnt briefly and were now stinging. Angry tears filled Vi's eyes.

"You're even crazier than I thought," spat Violet. She began to scream - or at least try to. Her voice was so strained that her screams came out as squeaks, her depe voice cracking as she strained it. "Oh, you are so brave attacking a girl." Vi's brown eyes widened and she shrieked, her words echoing. "Bite me, Surla! Bite me!"

She hardly knew what she was getting herself into.

As Sheena made her way over to the lake, she heard a commotion going on. She immediately noticed that one of the girls standing there looked like she had burnt hands and was visbly upset. She made her way over to the screaming girl (Violetta) and started to talk to her. "Sorry for jumping in like this, but I couldn't help noticing that your hands look burnt. Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital wing to get them looked at?"

As the notebook burned away to ash and Violetta's hands simmered with that of newly roasted flesh, there was a deep stir within Hellius' body that he couldn't explain. The smell of fresh, cooked meat filled his nostrils, and the suggestion Violetta put forth didn't seem all that bad. Hellius smirked and raised his wand, slowly approaching the poor girl.

"Your hands are weapons, Miss Sparks. Your hands are weapons that can be used for good... or for evil. You see, you have had a choice since you became a part of that shitty newspaper; you could've written for the good of people. No. You didn't. Instead, you have used your power to make sure that you get a good story no matter the consequences. You have chosen to live a life of lies and a life that's simply consisted of selling people out for your own selfish gain," Hellius preached, a sadistic smirk becoming ever so apparent across his face. "This mistake... will have consequences. This mistake... will have ramifications. This mistake..." Pausing for a moment, Hellius stopped walking and he looked at Violetta with a maniacal stare. "You will never forget."

Raising his wand, Hellius flicked it, and muttered two words: "Quasso Dextera."

Completely ignoring someone else who came to the scene offering help, Hellius smirked after he muttered his incantation. He turned away, beginning to walk back towards the castle, humming a muggle song called "Letterbomb" to himself.



Edit: OOC: Quasso Dextera shatters the bone in your hands.

Constanta's eyes were wide with horror. Sure, Violetta was extremely annoying, but shatter the bones in her hands? It was purely painful to watch. She averted her eyes but she had already seen the gruesome effect of the spell. Fighting her gag reflex, she grabbed Precious' arm and pulled her away from the scene. "Oh my god, oh my god," she stammered. "We have to tell someone, Precious. She needs help." She didn't want to look back at Violet and see the bloody ends where her hands had been a moment before.

Violet hardly heard the girl - Sheena was her name - and Vi would have ignored her if she did. She was too focused on Hellius. The more vile words that he spit out of his mouth, the more Violet's cheeks began to flush. Her hands were stinging, though it was nothing compared to the stinging she felt in her eyes trying to hold back anguished tears. How did such a perfect night turn so...

horrible? Like me. How did a perfect girl turn so...

...Different? Selfish? Pathetic?


"You will never forget." Raising his wand, Hellius flicked it, and muttered two words: "Quasso Dextera."

Violet screamed horribly, watching Hellius walk away with such a furious, intense hatred for him that she couldn't do anything except stare at his retreating back and fall to her knees. Her hands fell limp and her head suddenly felt quite light. Pain she'd never before felt surged through her body like electricity. She had never felt so alive - and had never before wanted to be so dead.

She looked up to the people who she had just offended. Violet now needed their help more than anything in the world. Her cheeks were pale, her eyes wide, her head spinning. Vi could imagine them leaving her to die...and Violet couldn't blame them. In fact, she almost welcomed their abandonment. They'd just reassure her that everything Hellius said was true.

But still, her eyes were wide and pleading. Have some decency. Her eyes focused on the Contessa, Precious, and Constanta in particular. She would have looked to Sheena for help, but in her blind panic and frustration she hadn't even noticed the girl had arrived. Her words had been drowned out by Vi's endless thought. "Help me, I can't feel my hands, he did something to them, please." Now Violet began to panic. She felt paralyzed - they couldn't move and simply flopped around like boneless things without any support, and the pain was excruciating. "Please, you can't just leave me like this."

OOC: Letterbomb was stuck in my head before I even read this post. Weird.

Summer couldn't help but roll her eyes at Mel's words. "So, are you one of those pure-blood, egomaniac Slytherins?" she questioned, all friendliness gone from her voice. "Wow, I guess all of you are the same. Typical." Summer crossed her arms, knowing that she was being a bit judgmental. But, at that moment, she didn't care what she was saying. She was just about to turn to Jayceon and suggest that they leave when she heard shrill screams echoing from somewhere near the lake. Immediately, Summer jumped up.

"Um, what was that?" she asked hastily, glancing from Melanie to Jay, her eyebrows raised.

Sheena looked at the other two girls that were standing there and assessed the situation before she began to speak. "Someone needs to go to the hospital wing and tell Nurse Larter that an injured student will be there shortly. The rest can accompany the girl to the hospital wing." It was times like these where Sheena's experience in dealing with injuries paid off. After all, she had made many trips to the hospital herself at school and outside of it.

Jamie sighed, still sitting by the lake's edge, when she heard an eruption of screams coming from not too far away. She peeled her eyes away from the horizon and looked up to see a group of people standing around a girl. Jamie's eyebrows rose. Violet?

Instinctively, she jumped up and approached the group, which she soon found out consisted of Precious, Constanta, and Sheena. Jamie swallowed nervously, her eyebrows raising even more. Her lips formed into a tight line and she frowned.

"Wha-what happened to her?" Jamie stuttered, peering from Constanta to Precious to Sheena. Suddenly, her eyes spotted a figure walking away from the scene and Jamie's eyebrows puckered. "Who was that?"

Jay jumped up a split second after Summer.

"That didn't sound good at all," he grabbed Summer's arm gently and with a wave of his wand, he collected their things and put them into his little bag, even their brooms. He didn't even glance at Mel, he had agreed with Summer's apparent perception of the girl. Looking at Summer for a split second, he pointed toward the lake side and gestured for her to come with him, if she liked. He wanted to make sure everything was all right, he had no idea if any of his family were out there. Running down the lawn, he came upon a figure lying on the floor and the blonde head of Jamie Brooks inquiring of who was leaving the scene. He crouched over the girl on the ground and looking up with sheer shock, he spoke in a dull tone.

"What happened to her?" He directed his question to the three girls standing around the still girl upon the ground.

Sheena composed herself and addressed the newcomers to the group. "I saw her arguing with this scary looking guy, who is in Gryffindor, judging by the symobl on his robes, and he burned her hands and cast some sort of hex that left her unable to feel any sort of sensation in her hands." Her normally calm face had a frown on it as she saw the pain that her fellow student was in.

Jamie gaped at Sheena. "You mean, someone attacked her?" she inquired, the panic she was feeling evident by the tone of her voice. Her eyes were as round as galleons and her mouth was hanging slightly open.

"We..we have to take her to the hospital wing," Jamie finally suggested, her voice breaking as she peered at Violet with frightened eyes. "What else can we do?" She glanced at Precious and Constanta, pressing her lips together nervously.

Summer followed Jayceon to the edge of the lake, biting her bottom lip. When she got there, she caught the last part of Sheena's explanation and Jamie's frightened question. Her eyebrows rose and she turned to Violet, a worried expression appearing on her face.

"Oh my God, Vi. Are you alright?" Summer asked in a panicked tone, moving over to Violet's side. Then, she turned back to Sheena. "I saw her arguing with this scary looking guy, who is in Gryffindor, judging by the symbol on his robes." She puckered her eyebrows and momentarily closed her eyes, remembering the figure she had seen earlier, talking to Constanta and Precious.

"Was it Hellius?" she asked, her eyes still closed. Yet, when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but glance helplessly at Constanta. What the hell is wrong with him...

Contessa, unable to move, took a step back, not taking her eyes off of Hellius as he left. She is a peacemaker, and seeing this, was ripping her apart. Not only was Hellius wrong for attacking her, a girl, but Violetta was completely asking for it. Tessa looked at the two Slytherin girls with shock.

Approaching Violetta, getting closer then the girls, she wanted to scream, for it was a horrible sight to even be an inch close to. "I su.. su.. suggest, somebody runs inside. Anyone?! I can stay out here with her, I'll keep her support," Contessa moved to crouch down next to Violetta and put a hand on her back. Sympathetically, with tears almost welling up, Contessa glared at the girls, trying to tell them without letting Violetta know, that she might not be okay.

Jamie's eyes were also welling up with tears, but she forced them back. This was not the time to let her sensitive side get the best of her. She bit her bottom lip with all the force she had left in an effort not to erupt in tears. She had never been very close to Violet, but that didn't matter now. Nothing matter now.

"I – I'll go," Jamie said, her voice hoarse and breaking. She swallowed back the lump in her throat. "I'll get help and then I'll come back. Don't worry, Vi. It…it'll be okay. I'll be back quick."

Even as Jamie said the words, she didn't believe them herself. She knew it wasn't going to be alright. She could tell by the look on Violet's face, the pain in Contessa's eyes. She exhaled deeply and, with one last glance at Violet, turned on her heels and rushed back up to the castle.

Sheena bit her lip and nodded when Summer asked if it was Hellius who attacked her. "I'm pretty sure it was him, since he was the only guy I saw near Violetta when she was injured." Noticing Contessa's glare, she smiled sympathetically at her to let the other girl know that she would be there for them.

ooc | I'm assuming Constanta will leave, too, for the plot.

"I'm fine," said Violetta suddenly, wincing as she did so. She ignored all of the girls around her, trying to comfort and soothe her with their words. Their words were empty and meaningless to her. As far as she was concerned, she could make it on her own just fine.

When she rose, her knees wobbled pathetically and she soon became aware that maybe things weren't going to be so easy. "Hellius strikes again." The anger is her voice contradicted the white tint to her pale cheeks. "Contessa, take me to the Hospital Wing." Vi winced.

"...Please." She looked around at the remaining girls without even a friendly spark in her eye. She could hardly care less. Vi simply wanted the pain to end. In fact, she couldn't understand why everyone else was getting emotional. VIOLET was the one attacked - their hands were perfectly intact. It made Vi even more furious.
