| 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? You're currently viewing our forum as a guest.

As the others lowered the boarding plank, Piotr busied himself by lifting the extremely large anchor all by himself and letting it drop without a loud SPLASH into the murky depths below. An already rather large, muscular man, Piotr looked even bulkier in his school uniform consisting of a large fur cloak as he walked down the gangplank first. When his feet touched the rocky shore, he bowed to allow the Headmaster to descend next and walk ahead of the procession. Durmstrang had arrived. |

Professor Aphelion smiled in amusement at Ms Grey who had taken to greeting him in French every time they encountered one another. Yet her attention could not be held for long as voices caught her attention and pulled her toward them. He nodded in acknowledgment as the Headmistress took her place beside him, "Hopefully not." The assembled students were getting restless, anxious and curious to see what was going to happen. He could blatantly hear whispers about "cute boys" & "french hotties" that he supposed was expected. A concerned calling of his name drew his gaze from the Forest to Bannishtar who had a cobra tightly wrapped around his arm as he struggled to keep the head under control. In a flash he had drawn his wand and vanished the creature. He intended to reprimand those responsible but at that moment a rumbling sound began to emanate from the Great Lake. Slowly a tall sailing boat rose from the depths and cast its boarding plank onto the lawn. He began to clap in welcome of their new guests. |
Cheers to Savannah Edkins for the signature.

A very green Sascha Collins walked down the gangplank, feeling that if she never set foot on another boat again, it would be too soon. Land! She exclaimed in hoarse German to her friend, Heidi. Sweet, sweet land! I swear, if I ever have to go near that wretched boat again, I'm just going to lay down and die, I mean... She continued to prattle on untill she reached the spot where her classmates had assembled. She looked around at the other students with an air of mild curiosity...so this was Hogwarts? |

Olivia hurried to join Lucy, Emma, Addie and the rest. Short for her age, she stood on her toes to catch a glimpse of- Holy Moley. Olivia gaped as the ship rose from the depths of the Black Lake. "Are you seeing this?" she asked Lucy incredulously. Olive watched in awe as a man single-handedly lowered the anchor. He was the first to step ashore. "Their headmaster sure is dreamy," she said, gazing at him. |

Piotr looked up as Sascha and her friend disembarked. Sascha. The boat ride to the school had not been pleasant, and since Piotr and Sascha could no longer stand each other, it was even worse that it would have been otherwise. Piotr shuddered at the thought that they would have to share this space for the remainder of the year, as their classes would be taken within, taught by the Headmaster himself. He hoped at least they would not have to spend mealtimes together. That had been bad enough on the trip. Already, it was feeling quite warm under his cloak. Piotr did not realize that it might be much warmer here than at Durmstrang. He looked over at the castle. Even from where he stood, Piotr could tell it was much larger than Durmstrang. How lucky Hogwarts students were not to have to crammed together. |

Bidelia began to clap as well, and slowly the stunned students around her and Nate began to follow suit. The old woman took a step away from the crowd, turquoise robe billowing around her as she awaited the headmaster. It had been a while since she'd seen Borislav, this would prove interesting to say the least. The three school's heads were very different in nature, and in how they ran their schools. |

Chelsea was standing with a bunch of second years, gazing in amazement as the boat lifted from the black lake. "Wow!" She was impressed, not even she could deny that as she stood there with her pale blue dress robes billowing in the late summer's breeze. She felt alone but at least she was amidst a chaos that would ensue, so many new students to meet, no one would notice when she slipped away to Huffleupuff commons during the feast. |

"Well, it should be something worth watching. The Triwizard Tournament isn't held all the time, after all,"her voice was the only thing in his life at the moment that could make him smile any more. Turning and grinning boyishly at her, he put an arm about her shoulders, listening to her soft and sweet tones as she said: "And if it's not as great as they say it is, I would rather be inside. I'm getting hungry.." "That Miss Gryff, is because you were no where to be seen at lunch time," He mused flirtatiously now as a sound came from beyond where they stood. Glancing over, he saw the great ship rise from the black lake. "Merlin!" He gasped, surprisingly amazed by what he saw. "Now that is impressive!" he took in the ship in all its glory and watched as the Durmstrang students emerged dressed in Siberian winter clothes. "They won't be needing those until November at least," he smiled amusedly and felt a rush of excitement as he watched the procession of the new students. This year would be interesting, that he could be sure of. |

Mitchell smiled at Sawyer as she reached him. "Hey, you" his tone was soft, and a spark was in his eye. Anyone could see the excitement that was bubbling up inside of him. Mitchell was cut short of a daydream as a low sound came from the direction of the lake. What? His eyes widened as a ship appeared from the depths of the water. Whoa. "It seems Durmstrang's here!" he noted quietly. His eyes flitted over the various students departing from the vessel. Beauxbatons next. |

Ida strutted off the boat, taking care to avoid getting wet through any falling droplets of water. She pushed her way to the front of the Durmstrang group and took in the students before her. Oh, no! They're all so... twee. She scanned the group for anyone who looked worth her time. Well the ones in green look quite sour. The castle seemed to be bigger than Durmstrang, Ida noticed with disgust. Durmstrang was still better than any Hogwarts, though. And the Triwizard Tournement was the best thing to show that. |

"What a way to travel." Lucy stated to Olivia, clapping slowly as she was still in awe. "I wonder how the Frenchies'll beat that." Lucy raised an eyebrow at Olive. "Sure, for a grandad. I think you and him, and me and Teddy could go on a double date." Lucy winked, covering her flush at announcing out loud that her and Teddy Lupin would be going on a date, when they hadn't even spoken. |

Addie watched in interest as the ship rose from the murky depths of the Black Lake. In an instant fur clad wizards and witches were descending from the ship, standing before them. She couldn't help smiling at her friends as they commented on the 'headmaster's' looks. "I don't think he's the headmaster... I mean, wouldn't Professor Belleford and Aphelion be greeting him? Looks like they're still waiting for someone. So, Olive has a good chance." Addie commented, glancing from the older looking boy to her friend. |

Sawyer slowly brought her hands together, not interested in the Durmstrangs - or the Beauxbatons for that matter. She rolled her eyes as the students began to disembark, casting loathing glances towards the castle and the students ready to greet them. "Don't they look...friendly," Sawyer remarked in a sarcastic, yet bored tone. Her stomach rumbled, having skipped both breakfast and lunch, she was practically famished. Sawyer broke her gaze with the ship and instead began searching both high and low for the Beauxbatons. Scanning the darkened sky, she huffed. Goddamn French. |

Tristan was tall but by sheer bad luck he was behind a particularly tall 3rd year and so had to stand on tip toes to get a good look at the arrivals. The students disembarking from the ship were heavily rugged up in thick fur coast which made him guess that Durmstrang was somewhere much colder than Hogwarts. Probably Eastern Europe. Or Russia. Yet not one of the students seemed particularly excited to be here - most were staring up at the castle with scowls or sour expressions. If it were the other way round and he was arriving at a foreign school in another country, he'd be ecstatic, grinning and anxious to get up there and start exploring. Still, he mused to himself, they are a bit older so maybe it's all a facade to seem nonchalant and cool. He joined in the clapping as the Headmistress and Professor Aphelion led them in welcoming their guests - yet he was now quite excited to see how the French would top that! |

"It's nice, I guess." Sascha said, as the Hogwarts students began clapping unfastening her thick cape to reveal her scarlet Durmstrang robes and handing it to Heidi. A little hot, though... Heidi, who didn't give off the air of an overly-intelligent person, took the cape more out of suprise than anything. Of course, Sascha didn't notice this--someone had just run into her. A red-haired someone. Voikin! Sascha called, glaring at the girl in front of her. Vatch vere you're going! Edited by Sascha Collins, May 6 2009, 04:54:17 PM.

Summer was about to peel her eyes from the black lake when Professor Bannishtar rose from the water and trotted over to them. She blinked in awe at the centaur, wondering what it was like to be able to go into the water all the time. Summer licked her lips, remembering what it was like during the summer when she was able to go out to the beach almost every day. The memory caused a deep sigh to escape from her lips and she quickly turned her back to the lake, shaking the thought out of her head. Only half listening to what Bannishtar was telling them, Summer smiled as more students joined them before turning this time to Jay, as he commented on her hunger. "That is true.. but I need all the practice I can get if I don't want to fail Transfiguration this year. And the OWLs are coming up, too.. oh lord," she answered in a dreadful tone, wondering how on earth all of her conversations led to the something involving school or the end of the year exams. Still, when Jayceon let out a gasp of amazement, Summer's eyes darted towards the lake once again. A ship like nothing else Summer had ever seen emerged from the black lake and for a moment, she was speechless. "Wow.. that sure is something," she muttered in awe, starstruck by the students who were climbing onto the school grounds. "Nice robes," commented Summer, admiring one of the Durmstrang girl's scarlet robes as she took off her thick cape. "Sure, for a grandad. I think you and him, and me and Teddy could go on a double date." Summer's attention turned back to her friends, as the initial shock slowly wore off. "Teddy Lupin? Hmm, I don't think I've ever spoken to him. He seems nice, though.." her voice trailed off, oblivious to the fact that Lucy was embarrassed about what she had just said. She turned her attention to the Durmstrang boy the others were now talking about. "He looks a lot older than us.. or maybe that's just because he's from Durmstrang. They all look so much older, actually." Summer shrugged at her observation and turned her attention back to the students who were so sophisticatedly rising from the great ship.

Being the rather short person that she was, Ella was having some trouble seeing the students as they got off their ship. Everyone once in a while she would catch a glimpse of them, ,but other than-- Wait...no, It couldn't be, noone in their right- Voikin! Vatch vere you're going! Ella groaned-- despite the fact that she hadn't seen her cousin in over a year, there was no mistaking Sascha's voice when she heard it. Why would she even be here? It's not like Sascha would ever be champion...she might break a nail or something...people die in this tournament, and it's not like she's...hey, wait a minute...NO! Sascha's annoying, but you don't want her to die...then again....no! No, of course you don't... ugh, Hogwarts is a big castle, maybe you'll be able to avoid her... Maybe...she muttered to herself, apparently unphased by the fact that she had just spend a good minute or so arguing with herself--it was a fairly common occurance, after all.

Piotr had just received word for another student that the Headmaster was to be delayed and that he, Piotr, was to address the Headmistress of Hogwarts. He told the others as he passed, "Ve are to go on to greet ze Hogwarts people," he said to Ida, Sascha, and the others, "Dr. Ootenbücker vill follow shortly." As Piotr walked up the lawn to the castle, he was already beginning to sweat. However, he did not remove his heavy fur cape, for it would be rude to do so until within the castle and until he was asked to. What he did not know, however, is who the Headmistress of Hogwarts was. He decided to ask. He looked around. His head towered over most of the school, it seemed. This did not surprise him. Even amongst his fellow seventh year Durmstrang students, he was very tall. The first Hogwarts student he noticed was a rather short young woman with thick black hair and pale skin. She reminded him vaguely of someone, but he couldn't put his finger on who. Like her schoolmates, she was wearing black robes fastened with the Hogwarts crest, as well as a tie colored green and silver. The inside lining of her robes was also green. Going off of what he'd been taught of Hogwarts by Dr. Ootenbücker on the trip, he surmised that this girl must be in Slytherin House. She was also quite pretty. "Excuse me," said Piotr in his heavy Russian accent, "Miss. I vas vondering ver is Professor Belleford. I have a communication from our Headmaster." His speech was somewhat self-conscious. Piotr's master of the English language was relatively limited. He'd hoped to improve on it while here at Hogwarts. ((OOC: He's talking to Eleonore, btw. We have a plot anyway so he might as well ask her)) |

It took Ella a moment for her to realize that someone was talking to her, as she hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on around her. She looked up to see a tall Durmstrang student who spoke, not with the familiar German accent that she had expected, but with an accent that she couldn't quite place, although it sounded familiar. "Oh! She's...she's just over there." she answered him, pointing to the professor. To her suprise as much as anyone's, Ella felt her face grow warm as she blushed slightly--there was no denying that the boy was attractive. "She's wearing the blue robes..." |

"Thank you," said Piotr politely, bowing slightly. It was then, with his head and body inclined in a bow, that he noticed that her cheeks now had a slight red tinge to them. Piotr turned around quickly, feeling his own pale cheeks growing hot, and proceeded to where the girl had told him the Headmistress was, hoping to Merlin that his cheeks would return to normal by the time he got there. "Professor Belleford?" he asked the old woman he'd been pointed to as he approached her, "I am Piotr Rasputin, a student at the Durmstrang Institute." He bowed, lower than he had to the Slytherin girl, "I have a communication from Dr. Ootenbucker. Something urgent has come up at the Institute and he is remaining vithin the ship and sending instructions to the deputy head at Durmstrang. He vill be at the ceremony shortly." |
