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?

Me, Myself, and I
by Rita Skeeter

Dear Readers, you read the Rita Skeeter column to be abreast of all the biggest news happening in our community—and I have outdone myself once again. Apparently, employee fraternization has it's perks, because this reporter is pleased to announce the impending nuptials between the twice-widowed Belladonna Quagmire (Evremonde) (Harper), daughter of the late Alfred Quagmire and the late Cynthia Quagmire to Alphonse de Ponte du Lac, son of Anton de Ponte du Lac and the late Satine de Ponte du Lac. I know, faithful readers, it seems that the black widow has ensnared another in her sticky web.

This happy occasion will undoubtedly be the social event of the season, being the union of two of the most influential pureblooded families. With luck, this will be the final marriage of the 28 year-old Belladonna Quagmire. But this reporter doubts that wholeheartedly. Ms. Quagmire, who is exactly four years ahead in time of her betrothed, is the top aide to the Minister of Magic. During the course of her career at the Ministry, Ms. Quagmire was often the focus of some nasty rumors, with many a colleague's wife issuing complaints--though none were ever verified or given much consideration by the proper authorities--about certain incidents of misconduct involving their Ms. Quagmire and their husbands. Mr. Ponte du Lac, on the other hand, has the distinction of being the youngest Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic in the history of the Ministry for Magic. He also has the distinction of having been involved in the ghastly debacle that was The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Potentially Dangerous Creatures of Near-Human Intelligence, Number Eighteen, which had sparked a conflict with the centaur population within Britain just last year, nearly resulting in open conflict with the centaurs. In addition to the both of these lovebirds working for the Ministry, they are both are politically connected, being prominent members of the Coalition party. Both have seats on the illustrious Wizengamot, and will be the first couple to both hold seats in the Wizengamot since 1831 (the last couple to hold this distinction were Mr. and Mrs. Fortescue, who, we all know from our History of Magic classes, had both been corrupt and unsavory individuals who took numerous bribes and were involved in the 1831 travesty which almost caused Gringotts to close its doors, after they took bribes from a rival goblin organization).

There is speculation to the circumstances surrounding the sudden engagement. There were no previous signs of romance between the two, except for a one time sighting at the Leaky Cauldron over a year ago. Regardless, it seems that Ms. Quagmire has finally ensnared her third fish, and Mr. Ponte du Lac has finally shot a cougar to mount in his trophy room.

I have it on good word that the joining of hands of Mr. Ponte du Lac and Ms. Quagmire is set to take place around the Christmas holidays. This reporter extends her best wishes toward the happy couple and looks forward to her invitation by owl, because anyone who is anyone will be at the joining--for better or worse--of two of the wealthiest wizards of our age.

Toodeloo,
Rita Skeeter
