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?

Mitchell cast a last glance at his sister, before nodding and following Sawyer inside. He too had to push through the mass of people, getting a few angry mutters thrown his way. Move if you don't want to be stepped on! Mitchell smirked, rolling his eyes at how ridiculous people could be, until he finally reached the entrance to Hogwarts, and stepped into the Castle.

Mariane laughed as Titine voiced her similar opinion of the place.

She hooked her silk-sheathed arm through Titine's and whispered,

"If it gets any more...cozy here, I sink my derriere might freeze off." She leaned back, as more of the Beauxbatons students disembarked the carriage, all off them nearly identical in their light blue attire--the boys in their light blue suitcoats, silk light blue ties....etc.

Spying a particular, dangerous-looking boy with green-trimmed robes, she leaned back near Titine's ear.

"Finder's Keepers is the name of the game..." she whispered in French as she gave him a small wink. "We'll have Chevvie wishing he'd been more forthcoming before you know it."

Could they go in? She only hoped their cuisine wouldn't throw an entire wrench in her diet. And by the looks of some of the girls here, that's exactly what would happen.

And where was Gabrielle?

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

Tinsley crept furtively behind Emma, so when Tinsley's hot breath hit the unsuspecting Ravenclaw's neck, Emma jumped, frightened. Tinsley smirked and whispered, "That one's giving you the evil eye, Gray. You might want to watch your back."

Ugh. Titine. Tinsley had spent enough time with the Gray's to know that Titine was nothing more than a fauxcialite. And there was nothing more unattractive than desperation.

Tinsley turned to Emma and smirked. "Why so surprised? You think I'd actually miss out on all of this..." Tinsley turned up her nose at the pretentious new comers. They had no idea what they had just walked into. "...fun?"

"Try not to drool, Ponte du Lac, will you?" called Tinsley, winking.

"Oh, you're quite the observant one," sneered Emma, rolling her sparkling eyes. Her eyebrows threatened to vanish into her hairline as, out of an angry habit, she arched one just as her cousin had done. She glanced at Titine, from the tips of her trademark Dior heels to the very top of her pretentious silk hat. "Keep your friends in check, Carmicheal. Who knows when you might looze your boyfriends to ze Beauxbatons girls, coming to 'Ogwarts." Emma kept her voice to a low whisper, mocking the exaggerated accent Emma was sure Titine only kept to impress her friends, who seemed to be in a competition for who could butcher English the most.

Tinsley giggled softly, rolling her eyes at Emma's joke, but Emma didn't quite respond to that. She was merely voicing her annoyances. Tinsley just happened to be listening. It wasn't as though they were having a moment, or anything...

Emma was done giving Tinsley chances.

ooc | And she doesn't even know that Tins stole her boyfriend yet. >_>

Katriane rolled her eyes. She had no time for Mari's games. She could only pray to the great Veela that her quarters were far, far away from her own.

At least she had a fervent ally in Emma Gray, who was no more pleased to see her cousin than Kiki was to see Mariane.

Kiki locked eyes with Mariane, the hue to their eyes identical, and nodded her head with smile. She wouldn't allow Mariane to ruin something else for her. Katriane turned to speak to !Xabbu, only to see that he'd vanished...then, turning around until she'd spied him.

She gave him the 'Wanna get out of here?' stare, and headed toward him.

Kiki didn't wish to witness the spectacle that was Beauxbatons anymore--simply because she was used to it. The others didn't all live in France or have to put up with it at home.


OOC: dude, em can kiki totes be there to back emma up? she DESPISES tinsel-kins

Though the arrival was dramatic, it was already getting boring after only a few minutes. After the spectacular entrances, it was just a bunch of students, wandering around and trying to find familar faces in the large crowd.

And know we have to tolerate a bunch of extra students milling around until the Triwizard Tounament is over. That'll be fun.

Personally, Margo saw the whole thing a waste, I would be MUCH easier just to bring one stundent to compete.

Unfortunatly, I'm the only one that sees it that way. Margo thought as a couple of Durmstang students pushed by her.

Frustrated with the whole tournament, Margo left to go back to the common room, and maybe write a letter home to her little sister.

Deputy Headmaster & Transfiguration Professor

Professor Aphelion extended his hand to greet the young man who had informed them that Dr Ootenbucker would be arriving late due to some complications back home. He found it strange that the man wouldn't even come down from the ship to welcome them but still he remained silent, not wanting to judge the man without knowing the full extent of what was concerning him. The young man looked older than your average 17 year old and was drawing more than a few ravenous stares from the female population of Hogwarts.

Next to arrive in a fairytale carriage drawn by 6 of the largest Abraxan horses he'd even seen was the Beauxbatons entourage. Always one to make a grand entrance, Madam Leclair descended the ramp and strode to meet them. He took the offered hand and kissed it gently, "Welcome Headmistress. We are honored to have you here."

He saw several students eyeing off the castle and could tell they were eager to retreat indoors.
Cheers to Savannah Edkins for the signature.

Titine Dupont

Beauxbatons Student

ooc | duh kiki, we'll rip her to shreds. ^-^

Tine flipped her jet black hair over her shoulder and giggled with Mari. "Finders keepers, losers weepers. That's the name of the same, isn't it?" Her heavy accent clipped her words as she pushed her pouty lips out like a spoiled, yet spited child would.

"Francie won't have any idea what to do with himself," whispered Tine, scanning the crowd. She locked eyes with several Slytherin's, beaming in a personable, warm way. She knew her glowing smile and rosy cheeks would certainly attract a man's fancy. Duh. She was Titine Dupont. Refraining from yawning, she shivered in the cold. "What are these people trying to do? Freeze the competition to death?" She hmph'd like a child.

"Mari, did you see my cousin? She's talking to the Carmicheal girl now. What is her name? Garland?" Snickering, Titine added, "Oh, yes. Tinsley. How could I forget?"

Truthfully, Tinsley was quite the forgettable type. And her childish ways got old, fast. "Hmm. Well, when life gives you lemons..." Titine beamed and began to walk away from Mari, her sky blue uniform fluttering around her body as her hips swayed back and forth. She walked with her back perfectly straight and her head held high, a confident smile on her face as her most dangerous accessory. She felt the heavy weight of eyes on her, and absolutely adored it. The spotlight was on her - rightfully so, of course.

At least in her own head.

"'Allo, Emma," smiled Titine, moving to air-kiss Emma's cheeks. Titine had to lower herself to reach Emma, for even though Emma had grown considerably taller and lankier, Titine was still older. Plus, Titine was never without a pair of insanely tall heels. "Annnnd...ahh, yes. Ms. Carmicheal."

So we meet again, you back stabbing bi -

"It's just wonderful to see you two again," beamed Titine, blinking twice as though on cue. Blink. Blink. Smile.

Emma winced. She felt annoyance rise up in her - an anger that couldn't be stifled. She rolled her eyes and tried extremely hard not to clench her fists as Titine's usual chirpy voice filled her ears. Frankly, Emma found it very easy to lie to Titine, or Titty as Emma so fondly called her. It was easy to reply that Emma had missed Titine's presence since her departure from la Maison de Gray. Except...Emma didn't feel like forcing politeness anymore.

"Looks like you're adjusting to the cold nicely," snorted Emma. "You aren't wasting away at all."

Only one thing kept resounding in Tinsley's thoughts: FAUXCIALITE. FAUXCIALITE. FAUXCIALITE. Tinsley wanted to throttle Titine and shove her face into her skirt just to show her what a real designer outfit looked like. Tinsley sniffed the air. Something smelled of knock off Chanel.

Dear God, it was a sin straight from the fiery depths of hell. It was punishable by law.

"Pleasure's all mine," said Tinsley silkily, still sniffing the air. She giggled quietly at Emma's quip and then quickly caught herself. Why she was blatantly fraternizing witht he enemy - and Emma of all people was beyond her. "...So, that was the big entrance? Of course, it wasn't a ship coming from the bottom of the Great Lake or anything, but...giant horses. Commendable, I'm sure. I'm sure Marie Antoinette is proud." The way Tinsley was speaking made it very clear she had seen bigger horses, prettier girls, and classier times.

And even though she hadn't, Tinsley was very good at pretending she had. She'd seen prettier and classier girls than Titine, at least.

One of the giant horses snorted.

"Oh," grimaced Tinsley. "How quaint."

It was with some hesitation that Piotr shook hands the deputy head of Hogwarts. He wasn't afraid of him, but he appeared somewhat shell-shocked.

"Good afternoon, Madame Leclair," said Piotr congenially. He only bowed his head slightly, self-consciously, however. Brilliant as most of the Durmstrang professors thought him, Piotr had come from a rather modest background. His father was a muggle, something he did not tell very many--especially not many at Durmstrang--and was a poor farmer to boot. To be quite honest, it was quite a shock to him to be introduced to so many wealthy and powerful individuals. At home in Moscow, after so many years spent under Soviet rule, and with communism stifling many an industry, farmers are often looked down upon because they have not embraced industry like everyone else, and so Piotr was more used to being looked down on by the bourgeoisie and those who run in powerful circles. And yet, Dr. Ootenbucker had taken a great interest in Piotr. Standing behind Dr. Ootenbucker was Ida, looking a bit cross. It was obvious that Ida resented Piotr's preferential treatment, and to be honest, Piotr felt sorry for Ida. She was as capable as Piotr, and even if she weren't, it did not seem to Piotr that the Head of anything should have favorites. That is how systems become corrupt.

As he looked up from where Ida stood, he spied the great, dark lake of rippling water, reflecting the darkening sky, and how the lake seemed to come to meet the mountains in the distance. It was beautiful. Piotr would very much like to paint this scenery. his penchant for landscapes was well-known at Durmstrang.

He turned to Hogwarts' Headmistress.

"Professor Belleford," he said, "I apologize if I am rude, but you have very beautiful location of your school."

Headmistress and Head of S.A.V.I.O.R.

Bidelia smiled warmly, giving Piotr her own little bow. "That's perfectly fine, I'm sure he has something important." She paused, glancing to the sky as the large horse drawn carriage appeared, chuckling somewhat at Banni's sour expression. As the headmistress stepped out Bidelia's smile grew, Madame Leclair was always fun to be around.

"Ah, Jacqueline! So good to see you again." The old woman commented, embracing her. "You always did like to make an entrance."

It wasn't long before the Durmstrang headmaster had made his way down to them, embracing Bidelia. "Borislav, good to see you too! Now then, it seems that everyone is here. Shall we begin to lead the students inside?"

Bidelia paused, smiling at Piotr, "why there's nothing rude about it. Thank you very much, Mr. Rasputin."

The carriage bounced as it landed on the Scottish ground, leaving François clutching his stomach. Flying had never failed to make him sickeningly nauseous. For a few minutes, he sat with his head between his knees, willing his stomach to hold its contents. Regaining his composure, François slowly rose. He straightened his powder blue tie and matching suit, ran his finers through his neat hair and stepped out of the carriage.

The cold air hit him in a rush, clearing his dizzied head. He gazed upon the impressive sight that was the Hogwarts castle, and the students assembled to greet the Beauxbatons delegates. François flashed the crowd a beatific grin, planting his feet safely and firmly on the ground.

First impressions are key, he internally reminded himself.

Jay stepped back cautiously as Emma, Tinsley and Emm'as cousin all seemed to be having an ever so polite conversation, and if you believed that, you'd believe the polar ice caps were filled with chocolate and sand. He murmured gently to the other girls.

"Cat fight, we think?" his tones were low and rumbling s he spoke gently, hoping these three wouldn't get into it out side. he doubted they would, Tinsley would be too scared to damage a designer heel and the new arrival seemed almost the same, whereas Emma was too nice. He watched on, wondering when they could go inside to eat.

Cameron clapped gleefully as the new, international students arrived and set foot on the Hogwarts grounds. He was so excited for the TriWizard tournament. Turninig to Kiki, to express his excitment, Cameron noticed that she had left with !Xabu.

Following suit, Cameron joined the big crowd and headed up to the feast.

"Quaint indeed," snorted Emma. She turned as Jay added his two cents in and winked at him, trying not to laugh. She looped her arm through Tinsley's before hesitating. She shot Titine a rather nasty look, and sneered, "Well. I suppose we should probably get going."

Tinsley felt numb with Emma hanging off of her, unsure why she felt incredibly guilty. In the moment, however, Tinsley leaned against Emma, both girls united against Titine like a well dressed wall. "Maybe we'll see you around."

Tinsley and Emma walked up to the castle, arm in arm.

Talk about random. She smells good. I wonder if she's going to try to kill me.

Talk about random. I wonder if she knows that I stole her boyfriend yet. I wonder if she's going to ..

"Don't think you can get me alone and kill me," warned Emma as they entered Hogwarts.

Sascha stiffined slightly when Piotr came over to give them Ootenbucker's instructions, but other than that she seemed rather unaffected. After all, she had had plently of practice of ignoring him on the boat ride (when she wasn't locked in the girl's cabin, seasick, that is).

She surveyed the Hogwarts students with an expression that said quite plainly that she had no plans to "greet" them in any way--all she really cared about at that moment was getting inside for dinner, as she hadn't been able to hold anything down on the trip. However, as soon as she spotted a certain Slytherin girl not to far away, thoughts of the feast seemed to leave her as a smirk appeared on her face and she made her way over to her cousin.

Beauxbatons Headmistress

Jacqueline smiled at Dr. Ootenbucker genially and shook his hand. "'Ow wonderrful to see you, Docteur!" she chirped, giving the same greeting to his student Piotr. Glancing through the crowd she spotted Professor Aphelion, an acquaintance she'd only met a few times, and offered her hand, which he kissed. "Oh, monsieur, you will make me blush!" He was certainly handsome but she thought she could see a female professor watching her closely nearby. Probably spoken for, then.

"Well zen! Merci, 'Ogwarts, pour zis magnifique welcome," she announced with glee. "I shall see you inside, I suppose?" she added in an aside to Headmistress Belleford. Then she turned to her students.

"Etudiantes! Allons-y!" She marched toward the castle and entered the Great Hall, her French pupils following behind her in perfect formation.
