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?

Contessa spotted a couple of the students still left outside, just a little stretch away from her. The drama was beginning to get to her, and she wanted to find an escape fast, even an escape from anyone that was going to want to discuss the topic.

Itching herself farther away from where some of the students were, Contessa made her way to the entrance of the castle, and allowed herself to go inside.

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

Hellius sighed and glanced at the fire next to him that grew exponentially. Addie's simple way of dealing with him wasn't exactly the best option. Words cannot control chaos. Words cannot dampen a flame. Words cannot reason with madness. Tilting his head to the side, the Gryffindor chuckled. Gazing at his palm, he took a deep breath.

"You know, Addie, there are times when I just wonder why you even try to reason with me. I believe that has been tried before, and the only thing that happened was a little... reeducation over the summer a couple years ago. I have to say, that only made me realize that for people to be... reasoned with, they have to lose something that they hold dear. With Tinsley, it was something close to her life and the uselessness that she orchestrates. With Violetta, it was her hands which summoned so much chaos. If I told them to stop, would they have? I don't think so. That's when you have to play role as teacher."

Smirking, Hellius flipped the hair out of his face. "Ironic, isn't it? The shadow isn't under control of the light." His eyes piercing through the darkness, Hellius stared directly to the center of Addie's eye.

Abbie continued to chew her lip lightly, swallowing silently at his comment. The shadow isn't under control of the light... It was perfectly clear what he was hinting at.

"Well sorry, but I still believe that it's possible to reason with people. You're not evil Hellius, I know that. I'm not going to attack you, since even you have your reasons."

He wasn't Julian, Julian was pure evil.

"What if Violetta doesn't stop writing? What will you do to her then, hm? Attacking her won't solve anything Hellius. It will just make her hate you."

"As long as there are people who screw with me or people that are close to me, I can never be reasoned with," Hellius retorted, pausing to fix his sleeve. "As for Violetta, I'm hoping that she has a change of heart. She can still write, but so long as she writes lies and articles that fuck with people's lives, I will be there to fuck up her hands. So long as Tinsley believes herself as invincible, I will split her wide open. So long as people treat me one way, I'll be there to multiply it back at them."

"How righteous of you Hellius." She commented, rolling her eyes slightly and shaking her head.

"Of course, you're still making good points... All of those things, the lying and everything else, none of it's good... I agree with you... Thing is, who says you get to be the one going around and punishing these people? Hellius, you're going to get hurt one day by doing this."

!Xabbu watched them argue for several minutes. It was odd, he thought, that Hellius had been so quick to harm anyone who stood in his way; anyone, except for Addison. Something about the way she spoke, or the way she was, seemed to stay the boy's hand. However, Hellius' words had irked !Xabbu. How could anyone think so self-righteously of themselves that they could pass judgment upon others at their own whim. Clearly, Addison's attempts to reason with Hellius were not having any effect, and !Xabbu was afraid that the young man would lose his patience with her; so, fearing for his housemate's safety, the young bushman decided to stick his nose where it really didn't belong.

Gryffindor, indeed.

"And who are you," !Xabbu said calmly, without anger, as he approched his housemates, "to pass such judgment on others?" !Xabbu had learned his English here in Europe, and as such, he had developed the accent, however, it seemed to mix with the slow, ponderous, almost sing-song patterns which were employed in his own native tongue; his voice was higher-pitched than most males, yet it was entirely masculine.

"I apologize for my intrusion," he said to both Addie and Hellius, even going so far as to bow as a symbol of apology, "but I'm afraid I could not sit back and watch any longer. So I will ask you again, and reiterate what Addison has asked of you: What gives you the right to do what you did?"

!Xabbu stood at his full height, which wasn't much, as he might have been even shorter than Addie (his people were not very tall), and he was certainly much shorter than Hellus; however, his body was sturdy and muscular. Though his words were calm and almost polite, the young bushman's body language borderlined on threatening.

Hellius blinked a few times as Addie said that he would be hurt. This was out of complete confusion that she wasn't already aware. Taking his left arm and shifting his sleeve up to his shoulder, he exposed his already scar-tattered arm. "Already ha-" he cut himself off, finger already outstretched on a scar that spread across his upper arm and towards his chest.

Completely stopping in his tracks, Hellius slowly turned his head towards a classmate that he was somewhat familiar with. He remembered the young man faintly from their classes as he was always quieter than anyone else from which he could see. There were many times where he hadn't noticed him saying anything all, unless he were mistaken, and even less times that he would seem to exert himself.

With the simple act of interrupting him as he spoke, Hellius wasn't exactly sure how to act; but as his usual manner dictated, the first things which came to mind were spit out after short consideration.

"I'm curious of what gives you right to interfere in a conversation that I believe you weren't apart of," Hellius stated blankly, his eyes narrowing. "But as for me, I'm Hellius Antilar Surla. I act to bring to attention to people's shortcomings. Otherwise, how will anyone learn? From the senile old lady that runs this learning establishment? Don't think so."

Addie tensed slightly, glancing to the Gryffindor boy. She offered him a faint smile, trying to conceal the worry that had appeared on her face. Hellius may not attack her, but she couldn't be sure about !Xabbu, who hadn't done anything wrong. If it came down to it, she would try and protect him.

"Hellius, I know you've been hurt, I just meant you could get hurt more. And on that note, the Headmistress is not senile. You realize she's trying hard to protect the school, otherwise you and anyone else would have already been carted off by the ministry." Addie commented with a huff.

"It is true that one must learn from their mistakes," said !Xabbu, as calm and composed as before, "But not in this way. Judgment that comes from man is tainted, it will be regarded with pride or with indignant anger, but never reverence. In other words, you are just making yourself out to be a self-righteous bully, Hellius."

!Xabbu stepped closer, matching Hellius glare.

Hellius smirked and looked at !Xabbu with bemused eyes. This guy wasn't at all like Addie - he had a gut and knew how to use it. Out of habit, the young Surla cracked his knuckles and took a step towards his house mate, his body language dominate.

"A bully that wishes to just be left alone. Tinsley Charmichael punched me when I was out practicing Quidditch - I reacted. Violetta Sparks was writing lies and slander about me and my girlfriend - I reacted," Hellius hissed, taking another step. "I don't like people screwing with me. Some people just can't understand that, so I bring it to their attention."

Addie tensed. This wasn't going in a good direction, she could feel it.

"Look, why don't we just leave it as is? I see nothing wrong with that. You two don't need to argue."

Addie stepped closer quickly, though her step wasn't a threatening one as theirs had been. She needed to be closer in case something happened. If it came to a fight, she would break it up.

Jay sighed deeply! He didn't even want to think about what was going on. He slipped a strong arm around Summer and pulled her close.

"Hellius seems to be on a rampage, that is for certain," he looked around the grounds and spotted three figures a little way away near a burning fire and glanced at Summer.

"I think we better get inside before another outburst is performed on someone," He kept his arm firmly around her protectively and watched the flicker of the lights from within the castle. The moonlight was gone and the stars were bright and yet a cloud seemed to fall over the school with an immensity that Jayceon had never felt before. Hellius was out of control? Like so many other students were at present. It seemed no one was ruling the teenagers and it was turning dangerous!

"You ready to go back to the castle, Miss Gryff?" He spoke with a heavy sigh.
The drum that beats,
is the one in my heart,
a drum keeping me alive,
and reminding me of home!

Sheena noticed that Hellius looked ready to blow at any moment. Taking a cue from Jayceon and Summer, she made her way to the castle before things got any more heated. Besides, she had to get some rest for tomorrow's match or she wouldn't be able to focus.

Summer's eyebrows puckered and she couldn't help but frown at the scene going on in front of them. She crossed her arms and scowled before turning to Jayceon and giving him a subtle shrug. She wasn't in the mood to witness another violet outburst.

"Whatever," she muttered, rolling her eyes in the direction of her fellow Gryffindors. "Yeah sure, let's go." Summer forced a wary smile onto her mouth. She sighed deeply and then made her way up the hill and into the castle.

Jocelyn nodded. "Alright, see you later then," she said with a stiff smile. After a moment of silence, Jocelyn herself got up and turned on her heels. With one last deep sigh, she trudged back up to the castle as well.

"Yes," said !Xabbu, "but an untempered hand of judgment does no good. You answer to no law nor to any god, yet you strike out at others with impunity. One who appoints themselves judge or teacher, and yet does not do so on behalf of the people he intends to reprimand or instruct, has no right to do so. That is the very soul of self-righteousness and of evil."

!Xabbu refrained from using a harsh tone, but he figured the boy would lash out. However, !Xabbu would not provoke him, and so he also refrained from putting his hand anywhere near the pocket that held his wand. Also, !Xabbu was not a violent person, in fact, this is really the first time he'd ever had such an altercation with someone, though he knew that one with Hellius was perhaps inevitable. Such as it was, !Xabbu had never cast an offensive spell outside of class before, and so he was not experienced when it came to dueling. All in all, !Xabbu was a very peaceful person.

"Look, why don't we just leave it as is? I see nothing wrong with that. You two don't need to argue," Addie pleaded as she stepped closer as if that would keep them from going at it. It very well might.

"Addison is right," said !Xabbu, "I will not fight you, as I do not think that it is worth the possibility of expulsion. However, I will see to it that Professor Miller is informed of your misdeed. Excuse me." He beckoned of both Addie and Hellius. Then, the young bushman turned around in the direction of the castle.

"I bid you both good evening," he called back to the both of them.

In his mind, !Xabbu wondered if Hellius would receive the proper punishment, one that is tempered with discretion and dealt to the boy with his best interest--and the interests of his classmates to whom he may be a danger. It was no secret that most believed that Hellius was responsible for attacking that Slytherin girl a month-and-a-half ago, yet it was quite odd that he seemed to have gotten off without the slightest admonishment. And then there were the countless other rumors of the boy's misdeeds. It was as if someone was protecting the boy.

Expecting that Hellius might try to stop him, !Xabbu--casually as he could--placed his hands inside his pockets as he walked, his right hand closing around his wand. Just a precaution.

((OOC: Okay, so if you want to stop !Xabbu, now would be your chance to attacking him, as he has his back exposed to Hellius.))

Hellius paused for a moment as !Xabbu turned his back to him and began to walk away. There was a deep inner state of disappointment that followed with a feeling of confusion - usually, there weren't people that had such self control. The aura which Hellius received from this young man wasn't any that he had felt before, and in all reality, it pissed him off. How dare !Xabbu tell him how to rule his life?

From absolutely nowhere, Hellius clenched his fists and began to shake from rage. He was walking away right after he declared he would turn him in. Absolutely inconceivable!

The darkness that surrounds us is your greatest weapon...

His eyes narrowed and his arm reached for his wand. From his insanity, Hellius was actually react against !Xabbu despite no previous engagement except for this moment. Hellius reached for his wand and dropped his eyes to the shadow trailing behind him. Focusing all his energy and attention on the shadow, he wavered his wand and summoned the words from this mouth: "Elementium!"

Slowly, reacting to his imagine, the shadow curled as if a snake and slithered over the ground towards !Xabbu's leg. Hellius' face turned a paler color.

Addie bit down on her lip lightly, watching !Xabbu beginning to walk off. Everything seemed alright- that was until she heard Hellius.

He's going to use his elementium?! What's he thinking?!

"Hellius don't!" She gasped out quickly. The girl's hand shot into her pocket, grasping her wand.

It took her several moments to gather her attention and concentrate. Unfortunately there was a great deal that he could do in those several moments.

"Lumos! Elementium!" She said quickly, realizing it was probably too dark to do anything, hence the lumos. She focused on magnifying the spell, to wipe out the shadow.

Tabbitha smirked as she brought herself out onto the grounds, as it was slowly getting dark all around her.
She swung her arm and let her school robes hang from it before shoving them into ther bag. She now dawned a black sweater along with her usual blue flower print skirt.
Before looking around, she looked deep into her bag to ensure the vials were still there, and sure enough, they were.
She smirked before lifting her head once more and glancing around her her friend.

Hellius hissed, dropping the shadow that he was currently manipulating back to the ground, moving his eyes to Addie's own shadow which appeared from behind her from her own Lumos spell. He wavered his wand again, calling out the incantation, and peeled it off the ground as his own little puppet. As his face turned cold, the shaking shadow built curves to wrap around its prey.

"Why must you always interfere?!" Hellius yelled. His eyes, dark and remorseless, pierced through the darkness.
