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?

Morgan Black

Fourth Year

Morgan leaned slightly in the direction of Bannishtar as he led the group along, causing the broom to hover after the group. At least that way Lizzy wouldn't have to bother herself with hobbling after the group-- plus it was a fantastic change from walking if you're lazy.

After Bannishtar had managed to pull back the branches/brush at the edge of the forest, Morgan stepped off his broom when only a couple of people were in front of him at the line.
''My legs are going to sleep.'' Morgan smiled, stepping forward when it came to his turn to see whatever was inside the brush.
Morgan's eyes were met with the sight of a mother Hippogriff and her two offspring, their heavy grey feathers ruffled up whereas the mother's were smooth and in a straight pattern.
Morgan stood, crouched over as he watched the sleeping Hippogriffs for about a minute. He wouldn't have admitted it, but they were kind of cute. Especially as they lay sleeping, all snuggled up to each other.

Morgan stepped back to let the next student in to see the Hippogriffs, when he heard a boy's mocking voice.
"Did you see that?" He laughed, and Morgan turned just in time to see his finger pointing down to a boulder down by the side of the lake.

Morgan couldn't see what it was the boy was pointing to, but realized someone must have fallen in the lake as he saw the rippling water of the lake and the edges of some wet robes by the sides of the boulder.
How embaressing. Especially with a Slytherin like that about.. Morgan thought sadly, showing an annoyed stare towards the Slytherin boy. He wasn't going to go any further than that.

I suppose it's best just to learn that it's in his nature to laugh. As annoying as it might be. Morgan thought. Although that wasn't going to stop him from trying to help whoever had fallen into the lake.

Morgan walked quickly away from the Forbidden forest towards the lake, going off the cobbled path down towards the boulder.
Turning to look back up at the group, when Morgan saw that Lizzy had gotten off his broomstick, Morgan quickly gestured his wand up into the air.
''Accio Comet.'' Morgan called, flicking his wand above his head. His broomstick quivvered for a moment where it was, then suddenly shot towards Morgan, stopping by his side. Morgan took hold of his broomstick.

Morgan approached the large boulder.
''I don't know any evaporation spells or anything, but here's my broom if you want to fly over to Ravenclaw Tower. You know-- to get a quick getaway from irritating Slytherin's like that kid up there and get a change of robes.'' Morgan laughed slightly, as if to say 'it happens to the best of us' before offering his broom to the blonde-haired boy crouched behind the boulder.

Jayceon smiled at the Gryffindor named Olivia.
"Hi, i'm Jay," he smiled at her and then stepped forward, it was his turn to see the surprise that he had gathered by now was a cute and wonderful thing as no one had yet gone screaming. Stepping forward, he glanced down quietly and spied the mother hippogriff cuddling up to her two fluffy new borns. A smile crept onto his dark face and a lightening feeling entered his heart. Life went on. He smiled at Bannishtar, appreciatively. He had known that the students needed that hope for the future after what had happened the night before. He stepped back quietly and stood, waiting, he wasn't sure what for but it was so much nicer being outside than inside the castle where so much had happened. Smiling, feeling better, he knew it wouldn't be long before he'd be back off to Kenya and with his family.
The drum that beats,
is the one in my heart,
a drum keeping me alive,
and reminding me of home!

Violet Slayer
Fifth Year

Violet made a delayed entrance onto the grounds, not exactly sure what was going on, but excited nonetheless. She joined the growing group of people and avoided Emma's eye contact awkwardly, instead choosing to stand on the outskirts of the group with her arms across her chest. She frowned, even if she was excited, because the large group of people was beginning to make her feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Hearing exclamations from several people, Violet felt inclined to step forward and see what all the fuss was about, but something was sticking the bottom of her feet to the ground like lead. She sighed halfheartedly, looking more worried than she intended to.

Harmony Dibley


Harmony crashed out into the grounds. She stopped suddenly, saw Ty and ran up behind him.
"Ty, where have you been? What are you do-" she broke off as she saw a group of people crowded round a bush.
What's behind the bush?
A Ravenclaw stepped backwards and she slid forward and into the gap he'd left quickly. She looked through the gap in the bush and gasped as she saw a beautiful black hippogriff with two tiny fluffy newborns lying next to her.
"Aaaaaaw!" she exclaimed, "Oh, they're so cute!" She felt her heart filling with love and warmth and her hair turned to a pleasant shade of pink and curled gently. She stepped back away from the gap to let somebody else look. She turned around, looking for Ty. She skipped over to his side then saw two other Ravenclaws by the Lake, one half hidden behind a boulder, the other offering him a broom.
"What's he doing?" she asked to nobody in particular.

Emma had been somewhat preoccupied thinking of the wonders of life when she heard an unfamiliar girl's voice speak. "What's he doing?" Emma looked towards where the girl was, and couldn't help herself. She openly laughed. Was that Morgan? Offering someone a broom? Emma's cheeks turned pink and she snorted and giggled madly, unable to even stop herself. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was the summer full of new friends awaiting, and maybe it was the fact that someone had just fallen into the lake - either way, Emma was elated.

"Oh, wow," she sighed after a few moments. "I have no idea what's going on." And for once, that was okay with Em.

She turned around to find that the group of people arriving was growing. Emma blinked as her eyes met Violetta's. Hmph. It was not in Emma's nature to hold a grudge, or start a fight with someone in the first place, but Violetta Sparks was an exception. Or should I say Violetta Slayer? Em rolled her eyes. Talk about identity crisis.
Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.

Violet Slayer
Fifth Year

Violet caught Emma's eye, and lowered her head. She instead chose to look at the two boys at the edge of the lake, and try to laugh just as she had done, but a laugh wouldn't come. It was as though she wouldn't let herself laugh. I have to stop being so hard on myself. Violet shuffled her feet awkwardly. No, I don't have to do anything. I don't deserve it.

The endless battle in Violet's head was beginning to be so wary and troublesome, it was clear she needed to do something. And maybe..

She had an idea. A sudden stroke of brilliance - it would be tiresome, but it was brilliant nonetheless. What if I apologized to every single person I ever - Well, that would be difficult, considering she'd wronged nearly everyone in the school. But there were several people that stuck out in her mind: Emma, and Cameron being the most important. Later, she'd find Cameron. Maybe. It'd probably be best to avoid him for a while, though.

Damn. I messed up.

But Emma? She'd had her time to cool down.

Approaching Emma furtively and warily, Violet poked her shoulder lightly and waited anxiously for her to acknowledge her presence.

The not so smart fifth year Ravenclaw.

"Did you see that?" He heard Bittern laugh from across the grounds. Great.
Eyran sat behind the boulder and started to squeeze out the water in his robes, then suddenly another Ravenclaw boy had appeared next to the boulder.

''I don't know any evaporation spells or anything, but here's my broom if you want to fly over to Ravenclaw Tower. You know-- to get a quick getaway from irritating Slytherin's like that kid up there and get a change of robes.''
Eyran tried to think for a moment. It had been a long time since Eyran had flied. He had horrible hand eye coordination and never seemed to make the broom go where he wanted it.

"Um, thanks for the offer," Eyran told the boy politely, "But I think I just walk." Saving him self from further embarrassment would probably be the wisest decision at the moment. "I'm not a good flier."

He glanced around the grounds and saw the group he had strayed from before had slowly been gaining others. "Did you see that? I think someone just fell into the lake. Poor thing." He heard Bittern's bitter laugh, "Good job the squid didn't get them, hm?"

A pained expression came to his face as he noticed more and more people arriving on the grounds to see what ever the centaur wanted to show them. He had been standing up by now, and glanced over the grass to find Emma and maybe one or two other people looking his way. Hearing Emma's laugh he looked away, then at the lake. I hate you lake.

Emma felt pressure on her shoulder. Her face hardened and she sighed, turning around after prolonging the inevitable for a few moments. She arched an eyebrow and rested her hands defensively on her hips, the corners of her lips turning up into a smirk. "Is there something you need, Ms. Sparks?" Emma was in a wonderful mood, and she was not about to let Hogwart's own Gossip Girl ruin her fair mood. Em was ready to pounce.

Tyler heard what Bittern was saying..but wasn't really paying attention to him. He had focused his eyes towards two boys standing near the lake, he observed that one of them must have fallen in. Oh how embarrassing!

Harmony approached him and began to speak in a babble. Whoa, slow down! He smirked lightly to himself. "Hi Harmony!" he exclaimed, and gave her a warm smile. "Good to see you!"

Violet Slayer

Violet paused. "Is there something you need, Ms. Sparks?" She wasn't sure how best to approach the situation, but knew it made the most sense to just .. well, beg for forgiveness. "It's Ms. Slayer now, actually," said Violet in the politest way possible. "I'm not that person anymore."

She tried to ignore Emma's casual roll of her eyes and very Slytherin-like snort. Violet tried to continue, but she could feel her cheeks heating and the tips of her hair growing lighter in her burst of emotion. She tried to calm herself down. She didn't need her hair glowing pink at such a crucial time, for goodness sake. "I just..I just know that you don't like me. I can tell by your body language. For example, you just rolled your eyes again, for about the third time. I know that many people don't like me. Your own boyfriend tried to kill me." Violet was hissing quietly under her breath so only Emma could hear, but now emotion was more detectable in her voice. She was getting angrier, but still trying to remain the better person, she kept her voice down to a whisper. "It's about time that one of us break the ice. It's going to have to be me, considering you're being incredibly stubborn over this. Think about why we aren't friends anymore. Xander? Hah. Really?"

Violet paused and stepped away from Emma. "I'm sorry." And then, not wanting to make things any more awkward than they already were, Violet sped back up to the castle tearfully.

"Hi Harmony! Good to see you!" Ty exclaimed.
Harmony turned away from the lake to look at him.
She grinned at him and suddenly flung her arms round his neck.
She froze as she thought about what she'd just done. Woops, she thought, well, hopefully this'll show me how much he likes me....

"I just..I just know that you don't like me. I can tell by your body language. For example, you just rolled your eyes again, for about the third time." Emma instantly straightened indignantly, her jaw dropping a bit. "I know that many people don't like me. Your own boyfriend tried to kill me."

"What do you expect from Hellius, though?" said Emma nonchalantly, shrugging.

"It's about time that one of us break the ice. It's going to have to be me, considering you're being incredibly stubborn over this. Think about why we aren't friends anymore. Xander? Hah. Really?"

Emma paused, realizing that Violetta was right. It was kind of hard to accept, considering Em would have much rather preferred to go on hating Violet the rest of her life and just stay content with that. But Violet seemed to be growing up a bit. About time. And it was so unlike Emma to stay hating someone, or even hate them in the first place. Emma wasn't that person, and she had never wanted to be that person.

"I'm sorry." "Violet, I -" But Violet was already speeding back to the castle. Emma's gaze fell to the ground, and she mumbled, "...I'm sorry, too." Em lifted her head and sighed, glancing back at the edge of the lake. Now she felt remorse for laughing at the boy in the lake. At least he'd survived. If Emma would have fallen in the lake, Em would have drowned. She didn't even know how to swim. She didn't even know how to FLOAT.

Emma made her way over to the edge of the lake. Hey, isn't that Eyran with Morgan?...OOPS. Emma bit her lip and approached them carefully. She smiled at Morgan. "Hey, Morg." Then she glanced at Eyran, her gaze empathetic. "Are you okay?"
Love Emma? See; Baby & Tinsley.

Harmony flung her arms around him vewry quickly. "Whoa ... wha?" he stuttered. He started to pull away, but once he realised what was happening he clung to Harmony tightly, hoping that she wouldn't notice his first reaction.

Harmony felt Ty start to pull away. Well now I've blown it.
She was about to let go and pull away when he suddenly pulled her closer to him and refused to let go.
Harmony smiled blissfully and closed her eyes. Her hair swirled around madly, changed from a pale pink through to a deep red and back again.
She hoped that moment would last forever.

"Hey, Morg." Emma and made her way over to Eyran and Morgan standing "Are you okay?"

Eyran nodded, "Yeah I'm fine." I just fell into a lake on my first day of a new school, yeah I'm fine.

Gazing out into the lake he wondered how on day could go so wrong. First some Teddy blows his rat up (Figuratively) , then birds attack candle, his rat, and lastly he falls into a lake.

Things can't get any worse, Eyran hoped. Oh, great, I probably just jinxed myself.

Emma scanned Eyran's face for a moment, and she could tell that, regardless of what he said, he was not feeling fine. Emma couldn't blame him. She had never seen his face in the common room before, which suggested to her that he may not have even met most of the people he had just fallen in front of. Talk about traumatizing.

Emma stepped closer to Eyran and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Sorry for laughing. But I mean, c'mon, if I fell into the lake, wouldn't it be kind of funny?" Well, no. Because I can't swim. And I'd probably die. So yeah, not so funny. But he doesn't need to know that.

Emma laid a hand on Eyran, "Sorry for laughing. But I mean, c'mon, if I fell into the lake, wouldn't it be kind of funny?"

He didn't want to nod, but he didn't want to say no. What ever he said wouldn't be good for him. He shrugged,

"What is exactly in that lake?" Eyran asked, squeezing more water out from his robes. "It's pretty deep." He never remembered his feet touching the bottom, and that was right next to the shore.

"Oh, I don't know," said Emma sweetly, shrugging. She reached forward and grabbed a part of his robes and squeezed, water dripping from them. She was very nurturing, and since she still felt bad for laughing - even though she couldn't really help it - she was being much sweeter to Eyran than she would have ordinarily been.

Wiping her wet hands on her the back pockets of her jeans, she said, "I can't really swim, so it's not like I dive headfirst into the lake or anything. No one ever bothered to teach me how to swim properly. I'd kind of just, like ...sink." Her eyes widened and she bit her lip, slowly edging away from the edge of the lake.

"Oh, I don't know," Eyran blushed as Emma started to squeeze out the water from his robes, "Thanks".

"I can't really swim, so it's not like I dive headfirst into the lake or anything. No one ever bothered to teach me how to swim properly. I'd kind of just, like ...sink."

"I can swim, just not well."
Eyran shrugged, "I can't really do any sports. Or anything that requires good hand eye coordination for that matter." He frowned as the thought of Quidditch came into his mind. This summer he was going to the Quidditch World Cup for the first time, and Eyran hoped that he would be able to keep up with the game.

"Wait, so no Quidditch?" said Emma curiously. No hand or eye coordination basically meant that he was rubbish at Quidditch. Emma's eyes widened. "I'm obsessed with Quidditch. You don't even know." She glanced at Morgan, her eyes sparkling as they always did when she was excited or particularly emotional. "You're going to the Cup, though, right?"

Quidditch was like a matter of life or death to Emma. It really was quite ridiculous.
