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?

Out of habit, Archie knocked three times before stepping into Professor Tortal's Office. It was his first time to enter, and it gave him a feeling of mixed apprehension and excitement.

He cleared his throat quietly and made his way to a promising chair in front of Professor Tortal's desk and sat tensely in his seat. "Morning, sir." Archie tried to smile politely at him as he fidgeted with thumbs.

Charles continued to dart his quill eloquently across his page of parchment as Archie entered his room. "Good... morning, Mr. Emory," Charles responded.

Sitting up straight and thoughtfully tapping the tip of his quill against the rough, sand-papery parchment, Charles looked across at the boy. "So, " the professor shifted in his seat and pushed his things aside; plopping Archie's file down as a replacement. "What did you have in mind for a career?"

Archie tried to make himself comfortable enough to answer Professor Tortal's questions a little confidently, but as every minute passed of staying in his office, he grew more and more apprehensive. Archie tried to mask this as he cleared his throat to answer Professor Tortal.

"Sir, I am... thinking of being an auror in the ministry." Archie tried to fill his voice with self-confidence. He really wanted to be an auror, it's the only thing he sees himself doing. And if he becomes one, his father would stop giving dark looks. He was sure of it. This job would assure him freedom.

He cleared his throat again. This is stupid. I keep on clearing my throat. Be a man, Archibald! Geez. "I am well aware that the subjects needed are Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Transfiguration, and Herbology, however, I am a little bothered by my performance in Potions and Herbology. Have I any chance of salvaging my grades?"

That was a pointless question to ask, seeing as he knew the answer himself. He nearly kicked himself in the face for even thinking of asking it, but he needed someone else to tell him his chances.

If he had ones.

"You must get into all of those NEWT classes if you are to become an auror," Charles responded, glancing over Archie's grades again. "We have a very expansive library filled with books for every and any purpose. To pass each exam, you need an Acceptable in Herbology, Exceeds Expectations in Transfiguration, an Outstanding in Potions, Acceptable in Defense Against the Dark Arts, and an Acceptable on Theoretical Charms and Exceeds Expectations for Practical Charms.

"So... you might want to start studying."

An Outstanding in Potions? I mean, really? "Thank you, professor. But I... I study, sir. But somehow, these subjects are just..." not in my line of interest "...a little hard on me. But thank you, sir. I would exert more effort." Archie sighed and straightened his robes in front of him.

"Uhm sir, if I decided to run my own, say, business of some sort, would I still need to take NEWTs?" Archie risked to ask, feeling more light-headed and moronic for asking.

What was wrong with him today?

"No. Once you're 17, you have the right to make your own business. If you have a product, you may sell it. You may rent property for an outlet so long as you can pay the charge," Charles responded, blinking slowly and licking his lips. "If you have the entrepreneurial spirit, you will succeed."

Archie nodded and pressed his lips together. No NEWTs for a business, then?

"I see... Well then, thank you, sir. That would be all." Archie nodded politely and stood up slowly, feeling very lightheaded. He took his steps with care and left Professor Tortal's Office silently, cold sweat dripping down his neck.
