| 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.

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

Well, wasn't this ironic. Tinsley found herself staring at the door to Professor Tortal's office, the entire while hating herself silently. Why even bother to show up? Career advice. The idea was almost laughable. Tinsley paced outside Tortal's door, her mind buzzing with doubt. To knock, or not to knock: that was the question, and that ultimate question was hanging on the tip of Tinsley's tongue as she bit it, just trying to quiet down somehow. Somehow. She blinked sleepily. Who cared? He'd just tell her what she knew she was destined to hear, which was that she should just find a career with something simple. "Simple" meaning she should find a wealthy man to care for her while she bore his children, ate his food, spent his money, and looked pretty on his arm. "Simple".. right. Tinsley smirked. What was she so afraid of? The truth? Professor Tortal couldn't tell her anything she didn't already know. With a snicker, Tinsley kicked the door twice and waited as the resounding boom's echoed. "Let me in," she teased, in a sing-song voice. "No one keeps me waiting." |

The knuckles of Charles' fists dug under his cheekbones. The career day had begun to take a toll on him - the repetition, the frequently asked questions - it's all so... annoying. As he was about to doze off, there was a knock on his door - distinctive, to say the least. There was hesitation, while still a good, present thump. The Professor had tried to make a game out of the students' knocking. Who would knock one way? Who would knock another? Psychological profiles could only reveal so much. "It's open!" he called, straightening his posture and fixing his suit. Edited by Charles Tortal, Apr 5 2010, 09:33:21 PM.

Tinsley pushed open the door with her foot and stomped in, sliding into a seat. She crossed her arms against her chest, pursed her lips, and stared straight at Professor Tortal. Her eyes were burning. There was something wrong, something off--something visible churning waves beneath her violet violent eyes, and still she smiled effortlessly. It was practiced, a smile which bordered on a sneer, and it was Tinsley's trademark. "I take it this is the moment you review my grades and tell me I ought to look into being a waitress, or something else modest," grinned Tinsley. "Let me guess. Acceptable in everything, right? Outstanding in Div. Better Keep Your Day Job in Potions." |

Mmm. Ah yes. The top of the pile was the folder belonging to Tinsley Carmicheal - whose heels knocked against the stones beneath her... obnoxiously expressive feet. Charles, finding it quite quickly, opened it up and looked over her grades just as she sat down. "Oh, Miss Carmicheal, I almost-always-never miss your darling wit!" Professor Tortal sighed, resting his face against his palm. "You are correct except for an "Exceeds Expectations" in Charms," Charles bit the inside if his cheek to withhold a comment. "As for your life, I wasn't to suggest anything. If you wish to pursue such mediocre endeavors as waitress, you're free to go ahead. However, according to your grades, you have the capability to be a Seer, or work in the Department of Mysteries." Edited by Charles Tortal, Apr 6 2010, 04:07:16 AM.

Tinsley blinked. A Seer? Department of Mysteries? Wait, it was actually possible for her to achieve something? She thought about her mediocre grades.. Exceeds Expectations? Not daring to believe his words, Tinsley leaned forward and looked at her own folder upside down, scanning down the list of grades. An Outstanding. Outstanding. Of course, it had been in Divination, but Tinsley could've sought out Bannishtar that very instant and wrapped him in a big... uhh, centaur hug. The girl, stunned, sat down again with her hands rested meekly in her lap. "I... didn't know," she explained quietly. "I mean, that I had options. I figured I'd be as unhappy as you for the rest of my life." Tinsley smiled quietly. "Kidding, Professor, don't take points, I'm just.. a Seer. Wow." Tinsley stared at the ground. "Do you know what goes on in the Department of Mysteries... sir?" |

Charles smirked at Tinsley's comment. "I do," he quickly responded, giving the girl an endearing look. "But if I told you, it wouldn't be a mystery anymore, would it?" Professor Tortal reclined in his seat and let his eyes drift towards the ceiling; allowing his seat to spin from side to side. "The Department of Mysteries was... wondrous, if I remember correctly. I assume the testing of our ministry has been relocated along with the surviving unspeakables, but before it was destroyed, there were six sections. I am inclined not to share what was contained within, but the Vow has been broken and the ministry is in shambles, so there's not much they can do." Clearing his throat, Charles straightened his posture and folded his arms on the table. "There was the Brain Room, the Death Chamber, the Hall of Prophecy, the Planet Room, the Time Room, and the Locked Room." |

"The... time room," murmured Tinsley, her mind buzzing with awe and shock. "Woah." Her mind was suddenly making lists of what she could do. The Death Chamber.. it all seemed to have some unspoken power. How had it taken Tinsley this long to know what she was good at? Memories of being an aspiring trophy wife escaped her. Suddenly power was within reach. First stop, the Ministry. Then, who knew? Maybe she'd even be the Minister of Magic... Tinsley cleared her throat. "They'll reconstruct the Department of Mysteries, won't they?" Tinsley's eyes burned into Professor Tortal's face. "Because that's something I could see myself doing. The Hall of Prophecy.. it was, like, made for me. But I don't want to stop there. I want to get better and better. Bigger. Make a name for myself." Tinsley's smile faded, her determined face hard as stone. "When I leave this school I want the walls to still whisper my name," she breathed. "When I leave, it won't be the last anyone hears of me." |

"Good to know you have some determination, finally," Charles smiled, licking his lips. "You'll want to take magical theory, divination, charms, and anything else you're interested in," Professor Tortal said, scratching at his neck. "I was an unspeakable. It's not a job you can just walk up and apply for," his tone darkened, "they come to you." Clearing his throat, Charles reclined. "The job will be in demand, however. With all the unspeakables that died?" He nodded gloomily. |

Tinsley paused. Couldn't she just decide on a profession that wouldn't kill her? The girl shifted in her seat silently, thinking. Well, then where would the fun be? Tinsley suddenly saw an opportunity: she seized it, this hope, in her pale hands. "Magical Theory, Divination, Charms. Got it." Who knew? First step Department of Mysteries (re-vamped, of course), next step... she imagined her face, smirking from campaign buttons. Vote Carmicheal. Her mouth was positively watering. Tinsley stared at Tortal, wondering. "Well, if that falls through... there's always waitressing." Tinsley smirked. As if (being a Squire of the Walpurgis, practically one step away from walking amongst the most powerful witches and wizards currently playing puppet master with the world) she'd ever resort to that. "And I guess that's where I'll leave you," said Tinsley, gently lifting herself from her chair. She adjusted her bag and flipped her hair over one shoulder. "Have fun with the rest of your--erm, advising." She laughed, a tease, and stomped out of Professor Tortal's office. But this time, with a purpose. |
