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?

"Shhh," murmured Emma as she heard Iris mumble to herself. The energy around her distinctly changed. Her eyes narrowed, staring straight ahead. She was positioned directly behind Tinsley, who was mumbling to herself as indignantly as ever. Emma poked Tinsley's back with her wand. "You're going to get us killed," hissed Emma.

"I could hear you all from a mile away, Ian. I ask you to come alone and you bring an army. Tsk. Tsk. Oh well. No matter. It doesn't change my plans."

Emma had heard that voice before, vaguely as if she had only heard it for a moment. Where she had heard it she couldn't be exactly sure. "Come forward, dear brother, your destiny awaits. Your friends can come, too. Why deprive them of a glimpse of the glorious future?" Emma gasped. Alphonse de Ponte du Lac. She remembered his voice from the Ponte du Lac wedding she'd attended as Hellius' date. Who else could forget those "I do's"? Em's eyes widened. Alphonse is behind this?

...No. I can't be right.
Stiller than she'd ever been before, she waited with bated breath.
Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.

She said she usually cried at least once each day, not because she was sad,
but because the world was so beautiful, and life was so short.

"Shhh."

Iris instantly quieted down, she had just realized the danger of the situation . Maybe is wasn't a good idea coming after all, maybe I should think before I act, Iris thought to her self.

"Where the hell is she, Alphonse!?" Ian yelled at the top of his lungs.

In the back of his mind he wondered what the others would think when the realized that the Senior Undersecretary, a man their parents helped to elect for the betterment of the wizarding world, was out kidnapping children.

"I could hear you all from a mile away, Ian."

The bodiless voice sent a chill down Olivia's spine. Her grip on her wand tightened and her eyes darted about, trying to find the source. She swallowed hard, her muscles tightening, and all thoughts of warning Bannishtar vanished. Olivia listened intently, her stomach churning.

"I ask you to come alone and you bring an army. Tsk. Tsk. Oh well. No matter. It doesn't change my plans. Come forward, dear brother, your destiny awaits. Your friends can come, too. Why deprive them of a glimpse of the glorious future?"

Olivia's mind began to move again at a sluggish pace when the voice finished. She tried to peice together what she knew.

Okay, we're rescuing Constanta from Alphonse, who is Ian's brother. Ian was supposed to come alone. And glorious future... I don't know....

Olivia pressed her lips together and waited, standing her ground.

"All in good time," sounded the voice of Alphonse, "But you're not making good time, are you? Better hurry."

"I'm gonna kill you..." Ian said in a low tone just before he shot off in the direction of the clearing. He hadn't bothered to look back or say anything to the others, he just took off and disappeared into the darkness.

On the other side of the darkness was a clearing. And in that clearing was a tall man in a black cloak and an ornate mask of gold and porcelain. Ian could not see his face, but he knew who it was. What he didn't know was where Constanta was. She was clearly, however, not in the clearing with them.

"What did you do to her?" Ian demanded as he glowered at the man in the mask. The Slytherin boy had his wand out. Long, black, and ornamented with the gold emblem of an oriental dragon wrapped around the shaft; the exact twin of the wand now held aloft by the masked man.

Alphonse smirked behind the mask.

"I did what any self respecting wizard would have done," he lied, "I exterminated the half-breed. Sorry, but she didn't fit the plan, you see. I don't mind them, you know. Its just I hate it when they try to hide in our society and pretend to be one of us, and just as soon as the moon is full they loose control and what do they do? They kill our children, our pets, our families. Life would be better for both our kind if they just stayed away from us. I'm sure the centaurs would agree."

It's cute that everyone thinks they can be a queen, but remember who came FIRST.

Tinsley's nostrils flared and her fists clenched. Alphonse. Alphonse de Ponte du Lac. I should have known ANY man willing to marry Belladonna Quagmire was INSANE.

"I'm gonna kill you..."

Ian dashed off. Tinsley's eyes widened. "No!" She turned to the others, her face wild. If Alphonse de Ponte du Lac kills Constanta, I swear, I swear - And yet Tinsley was full of thoughts with no actions to back them up. Her feet, planted on the ground firmly, could only think of one thing. What am I going to do if she's dead? What can I do?

Tinsley moved forward hesitantly and quietly, not wanting to distract the two boys. Alphonse had already hurt Constanta. Tinsley wasn't about to allow him to hurt her, too. She whirled around and snapped at the group, her words so quiet they were barely audible, "This is life or death. Watch each other. This isn't a game anymore. Right now we're not Slytherin's and Gryffindor's, or Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's. Right now, we're all each other has."

She ended her monologue with an uncharacteristically reassuring smile, which came out much more like a grimace due to her panic. God, Mom, give me strength right now.

That was her last real thought before she threw caution to the wind and slowly approached Ian from behind. "What did you do to her?" she heard Ian demand. Even from a distance, she could hear the rage in Ian's voice. Tinsley stopped walking towards the two brothers, waiting with bated breath to see how Alphonse would react.

"I did what any self respecting wizard would have done," he lied, "I exterminated the half-breed. Sorry, but she didn't fit the plan, you see. I don't mind them, you know. Its just I hate it when they try to hide in our society and pretend to be one of us, and just as soon as the moon is full they loose control and what do they do? They kill our children, our pets, our families. Life would be better for both our kind if they just stayed away from us. I'm sure the centaurs would agree."

Tinsley bit her tongue so hard, blood poured into her mouth. "Constanta," she murmured. She's not dead. He didn't kill her. No... One look at the ornate mask on Alphonse's face, and Tinsley bit her tongue harder. I SWEAR, I'LL KILL HIM. Tears splashed down Tinsley's face as realization washed over her.

This is Ian's fight. Not mine.

But God mark my words, if Alphonse so much as raises his wand, I'll kick his ass. And this time, my Cruciatus curse WILL work.

Without missng a beat, Olivia followed Ian into the darkness. It was instinctual. The trees thinned, giving way to a clearing, empty other than a man. At first, Olivia was under the impression that he was very pale, but upon closer examintion, he merely wore an ornate mask. Olivia stood a few feet from Ian, her wand at the ready, her face set.

Ian wasn't afraid of Alphonse, no matter how intimidatingly he may have been clothed, no matter how powerful Ian knew him to be. Ian was far too angry for that.

"I did what any self respecting wizard would have done," he said, Ian's jaw slacked, "I exterminated the half-breed. Sorry, but she didn't fit the plan, you see. I don't mind them, you know. Its just I hate it when they try to hide in our society and pretend to be one of us, and just as soon as the moon is full they loose control and what do they do? They kill our children, our pets, our families. Life would be better for both our kind if they just stayed away from us. I'm sure the centaurs would agree." Alphonse said it coldly and matter-of-factly, as if it didn't really matter; as if he'd done nothing more than had squashed a bug.

No... The centaur had not been lying. She was dead. She was dead and it was Ian's fault. And Ian didn't even know why. He didn't care, either.

Ian was breathing heavily, he raised his wand. He growled like an animal. Then he said, through hot burning tears and a lump in his throat, "Crucio!"

Pain surged throughout Alphonse's body. As it felt as though he was being assaulted with invisible knives which left no marks, his body convulsed and hit the forest floor. He landed on his hands and knees, panting, as the spell subsided.

His mask had come off, landing just in front of his bent over body, revealing the face that anyone in the wizarding world would recognize: Alphonse Leon de Ponte du Lac--the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, ousted now as a dark wizard for these children to see.

Alphonse laughed through panting breaths. It was a cold laugh, yet somehow it was far from mirthless. The Senior Undersecretary looked up at Ian from his current position on his hands and knees, though he had yet to find the strength to lift himself to his feet.

"You call that a cruciatus curse?" he asked mockingly, "I'm guessing that's the first unforgivable you've ever cast." The last word was strained, for Alphonse had lifted himself at last to his feet.

"Allow me to give you a few pointers," he said, "You've got to really mean it you see. Oh I know you're angry, and you want me to suffer for what I've done, but there's something holding you back isn't there? Don't worry. That's just human nature, but you've got to break down that inhibition. Its the same with murder, really. At first, its difficult to bring yourself to commit the act, but after the first..." he took a glance at Tinsley Carmichael--as beautiful as her mother--before turning his gaze back to Ian and saying, "it becomes quite easy. Let me show you."

Alphonse raised his wand at Ian. "Crucio!"

That's right, thought Alphonse, I'm going to break you. I'm going to bring Azariah's enemy's little knight down to OUR level. That is how we will be victorious.

Ian tried to dive away from the spell, but was hit anyways. His entire body was wracked with pain on a level he'd never felt before, like he was being crushed, sliced up, and electrocuted all at the same time. For all his screaming, he couldn't breathe. He convulsed on the ground for what seemed like eons of pain.

Alphonse's mask slipped off, revealing his true identity to all who hadn't recalled his voice. Tinsley sneered at his flailing body, Ian's wand pointed at him. Her breath quickened, however, as he laughed. "You're pathetic," she spat, thinking only of what Alphonse had taken from her. Her fist closed tightly around her wand, pointed in front of her, at the ready.

"Its the same with murder, really. At first, its difficult to bring yourself to commit the act, but after the first..." Alphonse's eyes met hers. With a jolt, Tinsley felt a distinct shiver run down her back. She glared back, but felt her gaze waver under his. It was as though he knew something and was taunting her with that secret knowledge, but she couldn't possibly know why.

"Crucio!"

"Stop!" screamed Tinsley at once. "Stop it! STOP IT!" She screamed, piercing the night. It was a scream so full of anguish she could hardly believe it came from her. Without another thought of consequence, irreparable damage, or even a thought of how Alphonse was so much stronger than her, Tinsley raised her wand.

And her mind went blank.

"God damn!" cursed Tinsley, glaring at Alphonse. It was as though someone had ripped the thoughts right out of her mind. Her first instinct was to strangle him. I'm absolutely no use. "God damn."

Oh I know you're angry, and you want me to suffer for what I've done, but there's something holding you back isn't there? Don't worry. That's just human nature, but you've got to break down that inhibition.

"HEY, PHONSIE! I KNOW YOU HAVE A THING FOR LITTLE GIRLS," she said. Her eyes were flashing uncannily like her mothers: violet, and full of rage. "Come and get me! I'm all yours!" She waved her hands in the air, paused, and then screamed, "Stupefy!"

This is only going to end badly, thought Tinsley suddenly as the spell left her lips.

"Crucio!"
Olivia gasped audibly. The man was suddenly writhing on the ground, until his mask fell away.

Olivia recognized him at once. He had been in the Daily Prophet numerous times, side by side with the Minister. This was Alphonse. This was the kidnapper.

And before she knew it, the tables had turned. Alphonse was to his feet, and Ian was the torturee.

"Stupefy!"
Olivia cried, her wand pointing at Alphonse. It would probably miss for how hard she was shaking, but she couldn't, wouldn't simply stand there.

"Crucio!" The man's icy voice sent shivers down her spine. She shuddered at the things Iris knew this man could do. He didn't seem to have anything to lose, and therefore put every one here at risk.

"Stupefy!" Olivia's voice brought Iris back to reality.

"Rictusempra!" Iris hurled the spell at Alphonse de Ponte du Lac. She highly doubted that it would hit him, but she would try her best. She told them she would help, and that was exactly what she was going to do. Even though she didn't know who the girl in trouble was, she'd fight to the end, even if the end was now.

Addie hesitated, clearly nervous as the voice stopped them. She gave Tristan's hand a squeeze before slipping out of it and following after Ian as he ran off. Even Tinsley was serious if she was offering to set differences aside.

"We're here Ian, we've got your back." Addie commented softly, coming to stand behind him.

No... Constanta can't be dead... Addie bit down on her lip, clenching her fists. The same Constanta who'd run to her when Hellius was attacking students. She was a Slytherin, but a nice one as far as Addie was concerned.

"Werewolves are still living beings! You can't just do that!" Addie hissed, eyes flashing. That was one thing she hated, people thinking they were better than everyone else, their disregard for others.

Ian!

In an instant the boy was on the ground. He was in agony. She had to do something, and quick.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" She cried, wand pointed directly at Alphonse. Come on!

Alphonse, Alphonse, Alphonse. How...could you? My mother was your acquaintance. I know she wasn't one of the smartest women alive, but for God's sake, Mr. -

Emma had been spacing out one moment, and the next, all hell had broke lose. "What the -!"

"Crucio!" "PHONSIE! PHONSIE!"

Emma grabbed her wand instinctively. She ducked as several spells whizzed by her on Iris and Olive's behalf. Glancing at Lucy to make sure she was okay, Emma's expression was one of clear shock. There wasn't much she feared anymore, but there was quite a bit she was uneasy about at that very moment. Attacking a full grown adult? It wasn't the smartest thing to do, especially when he had already murdered someone - or so he said. Emma pushed the thought of that from her mind.

"STUPEFY!" "RICTUMSEMPRA" "EXPELLIARMUS!"

Emma glanced at Ian, convulsing on the ground. Her head turned and watched Addie. She watched Olive. Everything was working eerily slow, each motion delayed in Emma's head. Spells whizzed by her, brushing past her cheeks, and she did nothing but stop...and stare.

Emma's eyes moved from Ian, to Alphonse. The pure sadistic pleasure on his face was enough for Emma to want to abandon her wand and attack him with her own hands. The real way. Emma's pulse quickened. Her palms became unbearably sweaty. Her quick breaths stopped all together. Her narrowed eyes quickly began to sparkle inexplicably, becoming a deeper, more concentrated blue.

He needs to stop.

HE NEEDS TO STOP. IAN'S GOING TO DIE. Constanta's already dead. Tinsley can't stand to be alone. HE NEEDS TO -


"STOP!" commanded Emma powerfully. Very suddenly, vines which had previously only calmly observed the situation, as mundane as ever, were now whips, heading towards Alphonse with an astounding speed. The vines wrapped around Alphonse's ankles and simply sat there like green anklets, slowly winding up his leg. Emma's eyes remained concentrated, lost in the moment. The vines twisted around his ankles, and began to squeeze.

Emma's fists clenched, her nails digging into her palm. The vines were still squeezing.

And then, very suddenly, as if she had realized what she was doing, Emma gasped, and the vines fell limp. She started to back up, her mouth agape, shock waves pulsating through her body. They were right...Oh, my Go - Damn it!! We're running out of time! "STUPEFY!" she said powerfully, her wand directly aimed at Alphonse, though her hands were shaking violently.

Kidnapped!

Hearing Tinsley demand they set aside their house rivalries for the time being to help Ian and Constanta was as sobering as being dropped into the arctic ocean. If Tinsley Carmichael was willing to forget they all weren't pure blood Slytherins then she must really care about Constanta. It was a sign of how desperate the situation was.

Hearing the cry of the 1st of the Unforgivable Curses, from Ian's mouth no less, snapped him from his funk as he was transported straight back to that day back in Sydney all those years ago. The last time he had heard that word was coming from a Dark Wizard and to hear it from Ian was unnerving. But the sudden removal of the wizard's mask was enough to push that from his mind as a face Tristan saw in the newspaper on a regular basis was now standing before him. Ian's brother, Alphonse de Ponte du Lac, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, was a Dark Wizard who had orchestrated this entire thing.

Barbs and threats had been exchanged by those on both sides but now Ian was the one subjected to the Cruciatus Curse as his friends began to fire off spells at the lone adult before them. Tristan pursed his lips, knowing full well that a wizard as obviously skilled as Alphonse was not going to be beaten by the likes of the Tickling Curse. Rather than waste his energy firing spells that would ultimately be defended easily he rounded his wand onto Ian, hoping to get him out of the way of the curse he was enduring.

"Depulso!" He roared, hoping to hurl Ian away to end the pain he knew he must be in. "Emma," he yelled over the cries of various spells, "Try that thing with the vines again. Try and hold his wand arm!"

Emma's spell missed. Her hands had been too shaky and unstable. Emma had never been so frustrated in her life. Emma had felt a melange of unpleasant emotions: pathetic, used, betrayed. However, even with all of that, Emma had never felt so angry. And when Emma was angry...things tended to happen. Unfortunate things. Emma grabbed her wand tightly, her eyes narrowed.

"Emma! Try that thing with the vines again. Try and hold his wand arm!"

Exactly. "But it sort of just, happened!" she yelled back. "I-I'll try -" Emma's cheeks were blushing deep red. Her eyes narrowed, watching Alphonse. A smirk spread across her face, her eyes sparkling. Her face drained of color and she tried to mirror what had happened before. How did I do that? She had gotten angry. It was an accident.

But when she had held her concentration, the vines had tightened. Maybe this is just a natural thing. Maybe all I have to do is -

Emma closed her eyes, squeezed her fists, and felt the familiar pressure against her skull. She was underwater, she couldn't breathe - why can't I breathe? Her eyes snapped open.

The limp vines at Alphonse's ankles began to shake as though there was an invisible wind somewhere in the forest that none of them could feel. One began to surreptitiously crawl up Alphonse's leg.

Emma concentrated. This isn't just about me anymore. These are lives hanging in the balance. Emma took a deep breath. Tinsley was right. Em's mind pulsated and her stomach churned, a firm pounding in her head growing more and more pronounced as she struggled to mirror what she had done by instinct before. A bead of sweat fell from her face, landing in the soil. The moment her sweat hit the soil, the vines crawled up Alphonse's leg with astounding speed, crawling up his torso. One vine caressed his cheek with mock sincerity - the other began to wrap itself around his wand arm.

STOP hurting Ian, stop hurting Ian, stop hurting Ian - The vine wrapped tighter and tighter, intertwining with his fingers and surreptitiously twirling his arm, vines surely ripping his skin as they tightened. Emma progressively became dizzier and weaker while she held on, but she wasn't going to stop. She couldn't stop.

Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.
