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.

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	Charles yawned, setting his cup of coffee onto his desk. Kicking up his feet next to the cup, Professor Tortal leaned back in his chair, taking a drag of his cigar and contemplating the musical melodies of the jazz floating off the magically enchanted record player behind him. Closing his eyes, leaving his cigar in his mouth, he cupped his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling. Good morning. The board read. Today we will be learning how to channel pure magickal energies. To open your mind to the concept, theorize and assume the role of pure magick in the world, in wizardry, and in life in general. I will award housepoints for each fully filled page of parchment that's handed in at the end of class.

Sighing in satisfaction, Jack turned up the aisle and put his stuff on a desk towards the center of the class, which was a decent distance away from the front without being too shady. "Good morning, Professor," Jack greeted, as he felt obligated to do so since he was the only one in the classroom at the moment.

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	The Professor looked down from the ceiling and nodded to the student entering. Clearing his throat, Charles took his feet down from his desk and snuffed the tip of his cigar into an ashtray. Turning his chair to the side, he looked to the record player, waved his hand at it, and the record player changed immediately to an old song by the Ink Spots. Groaning, not in the mood for the specific song, Charles snapped, changing the song again. He leaned back in his chair, almost appearing satisfied as Billie Holiday started playing. He stood, adjusting his sports coat and tightening his tie. Glancing at the student, Professor Tortal cleared his throat and pointed at the board. Folding his hands behind his back, Charles slowly paced around the classroom, awaiting more students to arrive. Edited by Charles Tortal, Oct 2 2009, 01:12:12 PM.

Harmony entered the classroom, surprisingly early, seeing as she had had to sort out her hair in the bathroom beforehand. "Good morning, Professor," she murmured, hurrying to a seat near the back of the class. She quietly emptied her books onto the table, read the notice on the board through and through again, then sat silently listening to the music that was being played on the record player. Sounded like... She racked her brains, trying to remember who it was that was singing. Her dad tended to listen to this sort of music... Billie Holiday. She smiled as she remembered a childhood filled with music and songs like this. ((OOC: sorry it's so short!!))

Fifth Year Posts: 103 Group: Slytherin Member #899 Joined: May 14 2009	Diva silently stepped into the classroom. She nodded her head curtly to the professor on her way to the back of the room, and ignored the other students all together. She was wearing several layers right now- a camisole, a couple t-shirts, a turtleneck, and a long sleeved sweater. It almost made her look average weight for someone her height. It would've been overly warm if it weren't for her low body temperature and inability to keep heat to herself whatsoever. Did vampires even sweat? She sat down in the very back of the room, already pulling out her Magical Theory textbook, scrolls, pen and ink before scanning the board. Pure magic? She shrugged. And what was with the positively horrid music? Her mouth twitched lightly before turning her attention back to her parchment.

Sixth Year- Gryffindor Beater Posts: 423 Group: Gryffindor Member #1,072 Joined: Aug 1 2009 Gender Female Age 14 years old Location Gryffindor Tower	Daniela entered the classroom, rubbing her eyes tiredly. Sighing, she took a look at the board. A full page of parchment? Couldn't be that bad, could it? Oh yes it could. Pure magic? Was that actual wand magic or feelings? She groaned, before she began to write. No harm in writing both.

It was only one page of parchment. She rummaged through her bag for her material, and began to write. What was up with the music he was playing? It was almost distracting. She grumbled a little bit, but continued writing.

Sixth Year Posts: 91 Group: Slytherin Member #1,122 Joined: Sep 7 2009 Age 13 Location The North Pole	Nikolai slinked into the classroom, his parchment already in his hands. He had assumed they were going to do an essay, and he had been correct. Pure Magic? He didn't really understand what that was. Biting his lip, he began to write, slowly at first, until he began to understand what he wrote. Even so, he only managed a paragraph or two. He sighed. This is going to take a while.

Fifth Year Posts: 150 Group: Slytherin Member #1,045 Joined: Jul 22 2009	Horacio stepped quickly into class, having almost been late due to certain....other dalliances he had been attending to...but the look on his face was anything but rushed. If anything, it could most definitely be described as smug. Which, in itself, was fairly rare in it's own for Horacio, for any typical emotion to register itself so revealingly across his features was not an everyday sight. Usually, he just looked bored. Taking a swift glance at the blackboard in the front of the room as he took a seat, he retrieved his ink and quill and, after checking to make sure he was not the only one doing so, set quill to parchment, only mildly paying attention to the music. He had absolutely no idea who or what it even was.....sounded muggle....eh...uninteresting...

Magical Concepts Professor Posts: 315 Group: External Citizen Member #87 Joined: Feb 11 2007	As the vinyl-less record player started to play an instrumental piece, the volume dropped to a soft roar. Charles stopped in his place, waved his hand at his mug of coffee on his desk and looked out to the class, wrapping his hand around the mug as it hovered in front of him. "Ah, forgot to mention," he waved the index finger of his free hand, "I will be listing examples through the lesson," Professor Tortal reminded himself, taking a sip of his coffee and snapping his free hand back at the blackboard. Today we will be learning about pure magical energies. These energies can be used for a variety of things, many of which I will be going over in the lesson. You may have used a pure magic-encrusted item and not even be aware. However, today, you will learn to identify pure magic, sense pure magic, channel pure magic, control pure magic, amongst many other things. To open your mind to the concept, theorize and assume the role of pure magic in the world, in wizardry, and in life in general. I will award housepoints for each fully filled page of parchment that's handed in at the end of class. Please note: you may fill the parchment with ideals from the lesson. I will look them over when you turn them in, and I will owl them back to you so you may have them for future use... if you so wish. Slapping his lips as he pulled the mug away, Charles sighed, stepping back towards his desk to the beat of the music. Edited by Charles Tortal, Oct 2 2009, 07:57:40 PM.

Fifth Year Posts: 164 Group: Slytherin Member #940 Joined: Jun 17 2009 Location Ready to jump on you	Flavia walked casually into the classroom, taking a seat next to Nikolai. She retrieved a piece of parchment from her bag and a quill. What's with the music? Pure magic. Flavia started writing, but all she managed was her name, house and the title of her essay. One whole piece of parchment, in her minuscule handwriting. She made it a point to write with bigger handwriting as she continued. Even so she only managed a sentence or two, distracted by the music and the people filing in. What was pure magic anyway? Sensing Nikolai facing the same difficulty, she hissed to him quietly, so that Professor Tortal couldn't hear her: "What're you writing about?"
	Thanks to June for this great sig!!!!

Seventh Year Posts: 246 Group: Slytherin Prefect Member #1,118 Joined: Sep 4 2009 Character Age 17	Edward entered the classroom. It seemed he was a little late but it couldn't have been more than a few minutes. He said a gruff but respectful "good morning" to the Professor and looked around the class. Edward spotted Sierra and walked to sit next to her, placing his quill and parchment onto the desk. He then turned to her and said in a low and serious voice, "I wouldn't mind." He wondered how long will it take her to get the meaning of his answer. "You must be really desperate to ask me though," he smirked and turned to read the blackboard.

Her face fell a little bit at the comment on her being desperate. "Why would you think that? I would of asked you either way. You don't have to be desperate to ask someone. I wouldn't ask you just because I'm desperate..." She shook her had exasperatedly, before turning back to her paper. "This assignment is impossible!" She hissed through clenched teeth.

If I knew, I would be done." He hoped that the teacher would explain what the heck it was, because it was a pretty much alien concept. This was getting tedious. What was with this teacher and the music? It was difficult to concentrate. He groaned, and attempted to write more, but his mind was blank. "This is not going to turn out well."

Today's class was with the Gryffindors, cringe. Her blue eyes landed on Flavia. Smiling to herself, Lucy took a seat next to her. She noticed Nikolai was on the otherside of her. "Hey," Lucy said, placing her elbows on the table. "What's up?" she asked.

He motioned to his parchment, barely no text written on it. "I'm pretty much trying to achieve the impossible. Which is trying to write a paper on something no one knows anything about except Professor Tortal." He gave a smirk, looking at the Gryffindors. They seemed to not know what this was either. "How about you? You get it?"

She glanced at the board at which had the teacher's instuctions on it. It was all confusing. That was why Lucy hated school. Dreaded. She smirked as Nikolai called her 'Luce'. She had always detested that nickname, but it just stuck. 'Well, that's not fair. I think Tortal should ease it up a bit-then again, he's the Slytherin Head of House. You know how us Slythies can be," her eyes flickered to the only three Gryffindors in the room. "So much better than others." the Slytherin said with a sneer. She looked down at the empty desk in front of her. She hadn't even bothered to take out some parchment yet. "Erm...no. I just got in. I could try, but it would be an epic fail." Lucy said with a giggle.

He took the seat next to her, casually swinging his bag under his desk. He quickly scanned the board, groaning inwardly as he realised how long-winded his answer would have to be. He pulled out his favourite quill and a sheet of parchment. He turned to Daniela and murmured "Trust Tortal to give us something so vague. What're you writing about?" He quickly wrote the title and then nibbled on the end of his quill, his mind working furiously to try and figure out what he should write.

Seventh Year Posts: 246 Group: Slytherin Prefect Member #1,118 Joined: Sep 4 2009 Character Age 17	"Okay," said Edward profoundly, intentionally ignoring Sierra's question. It wasn't a good time (if there ever would be) for this conversation, Edward had never liked personal questions about himself so he wasn't going to push it. "This assignment is impossible!" Edward just finished reading and moved his fingers to rest on his lips, as he usually did when trying to think hard. Why did they always had to get such dumb assignments, did they look as some philosophers or what? "Hmm," he started, "I don't know, do you think it has something to do with Elementium? Or the magical energy which is supposed to be all around us?"

I'm just writing on various forms of magic. You know, Wand Magic, Emotion Magic. Just magic." Her frown had noticeably lifted, and she seemed to have a permanent grin on her face. The corners of her mouth were definitely upturned, and she beamed at Oscar. Suddenly she realized that they hadn't truly made their relationship official. "Oscar? You think after class we could discuss something?" Then she turned back to her writing.
