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?

Jasmine and Emma entered the bathroom. Jasmine couldn't think of anywhere else they could be alone. plus she figured Myrtle could always use some company. And barely anybody would be there, especially teachers. And Jasmine didn't mind Myrtle.. she was, well she was okay. Once you got past the moaning part.

The bathroom looked like it hadn't been entered in forever. She dusted a spot off the ground, looking at it for a moment in disgust, before sitting down. She patted the ground next to her, signaling Emma to do the same.

"So, Em, how've you been?" Jasmine asked. She hadn't seen the girl, with her beautiful blue eyes and curly blond hair and light pink li - stop it, Jas. The thought whipped across her mind as she noticed she had been staring. A blush crept up her neck and made it's way to her cheeks.

After a moment the red faded to a light pink and Jasmine looked back up again, her eyes having moved to the ground when she had realized she was staring at Emma. Her brown eyes found Emma's lips again, and this time Jasmine didn't hold back. She leaned forward and kissed her, her rosy lips finding the girls pale pink ones.

It seemed to happen so suddenly. One minute she felt the urge to lean forward, her suddenly crippling inability to think of a single thought that wasn't about Jasmine shining like a lighthouse, leading her into the right direction. With a sudden rush of blood to places that had previously gone dry, Emma felt skin against her own skin just as her cheeks exploded into a patched, uncertain melange of reds and pinks. Flushed cheeks heated, Emma pulled back, her jaw agape. What did this mean? Did Jasmine have expectations of her? Did Emma have expectations of herself? Emma's navy blue eyes were swimming with uncertainty, the ghosts of loves long gone, and maybe even a tear or two.

"I can't help it," choked Emma, struggling to find the air. "I know it's wrong. I know that it's not what'd people expect. It's not .. it's not.." Normal? What was normal anymore? "I'm so sorry. But I like you. And it's really weird. But..."

Emma leaned forward and gently kissed Jasmine's lips. It was different than kissing a boy--softer, less demanding. It was genuine, it was sweet.. it was a refreshing summer breeze in the midst of heat. Emma ran her fingers through Jasmine's red hair, inhaling every bit of her that she could, hoping to remember that exact moment that Emma completely let go.

It was ama--

"AHHHHHHHHHHCKKKKKKK!"

Moaning Myrtle flew from her toilet, a flash of gray. Her eyes, widened behind her rimmed glasses, were full of shock. Myrtle simply looked petrified all over again, her jaw dropped down and her white, transparent cheeks a bit denser than usual. "Lesbians," she muttered faintly, her pudgy palm against her forehead. "In the bathrooms."

She covered her face with her hands. "And you thought I ought to know?!?!" With a temperamental huff, Myrtle ambled into a stall and sobbed freely into a toilet.

The kiss was gentle. It was sweet. It was surprising. Jasmine had surprised herself, and she had surprised Emma to. As Jasmine pulled away, her red hair swinging, her mind started to race. Did Emma think she was a freak now? Or did she feel the same way? Did Emma enjoy it as much as she did? Did she think it was absolutely disgusting? Maybe Emma was one of those people who were afraid of people like Jasmine - people who didn't like just members of the opposite sex. A small part of Jasmine, well actually a quite large one, could only hope that Emma felt the exact same way she did.

Jasmine's eyes almost flooded with tears as Emma announced that she liked Jasmine as well. That was the best thing she had heard in a while. "Em, you don't need to apologize. I feel the exact same way," Jasmine got out after a moment. Her heart had fallen into the pit of her stomach again and she had almost forgotten how to function properly. Almost.

The redhead was caught by surprise once more as Emma kissed her this time. It was better than the last time. It was still sweet. It was soft. It was nice. Jasmine had never really kissed anybody before, but she knew this was what it was supposed to be like. Nice. Sweet. Soft. Genuine. Jasmine's fingers entangled in Emma's curly blond locks. She never wanted to let go, she wanted to inhale her scent forever.

A huge blush crept up Jasmine's cheek as Myrtle came floating along, screaming and pretending to faint.

"Lesbians. In the bathroom,"

"Sorry, Myrtle," Jasmine apologized sheepishly. She really shouldn't have apologized - she had no reason to. But she was Jasmine, it was in her nature. Jasmine took ahold of Emma's hand much like she had earlier. Except this time she kept it there.

Silence filled the air, heavy with things dying to be said. Emma struggled to find her voice, hiding somewhere in the pit of her stomach, hesitant and scared of what she'd say. Her hand, in Jasmine's delicate one, shook slightly. Did she miss the strong, calloused feeling of Abe's hands? Hellius' hands? Or did something seem to click now, a peg in its proper place, an antidote to the worlds strongest poison? Emma's shaky hand squeezed Jasmine's, begging her mind to hush the tempest of thoughts swirling violently, crashing and bouncing against the inside of her skull.

Myrtle wailed a horrific, heartbroken song, and very suddenly, Emma couldn't control herself any longer. She released Jasmine's hands as she put them on her knees, doubled over with nervous and uncontrollable laughter.

Her shrieks mixed with Myrtle's, bouncing off of the walls. Emma snorted and it echoed into the bathroom's walls. Face fresh and pink with life, Emma straightened and covered her face with her hands. "This could not be any more like a movie," said Emma, her blush fading as she looked back at Jasmine, as if suddenly remembering what she had just done. "I mean, I just hope this isn't a Donnie Darko kind of movie."

She stared nervously at the ceiling.

A sort of silence filled the air, and Jasmine instantly bit down on her lip. Holding Emma's hand in her own felt so weird. She couldn't help but wonder if it meant as much to the blond as it did to her. To Jasmine, just sitting there and holding hands felt nice. She had never really liked anybody in this way. Except for Emma. It felt nice. It felt good. It felt natural. Jasmine liked it. Except it gave Jasmine a kind of a sickening feeling. It wouldn't stay this natural forever, would it? Because all good things come to an end. Jasmine pushed the thought away from her mind, focusing on now. So far, Emma hadn't pushed Jasmine's hand away. That was a good start.

Jasmine could only sit there and watch as Emma's laughter mixed with Myrtle's moans. A laugh escaped her lips - why was this so funny to her? She was watching her girlfriend, er, friend who was a girl? laugh at a ghost. This shouldn't have been funny. To Jasmine it normally wouldn't have been. But at that moment, it was.

Jasmine calmed down before Emma did, which was kind of expected. Jasmine was quieter than she was, so it was kind of natural that her laughter lasted only seconds. "I've never seen Donnie Darko," she admitted. Over the summer she had watched tons of muggle movies with Emma. Well, not exactly tons, but more than Jasmine had ever seen before then. Which was none. "Is it one of those horror movies? I mean, just the name sounds horrible."

"More about a psycho kid," snorted Em. "A regular Ian de Pointe if you ask me. You're seriously deprived of all things Muggle. Though, so is everyone else these days. But there's so much you need to see. Girl Interrupted? It'll change your life." Emma's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "We might know how to wave a wand back and forth, but I'm pretty sure Muggles know more than we could ever about the simpler things in life. Magic tends to complicate things..."

Emma stared at Jasmine, transfixed, and then blinked rapidly as if trying to focus herself and her thoughts. "Hey, I'm taking Muggle Studies on the side. Don't judge."

With another nervous hiccup giggle, Emma cleared her throat. "So, uhhh.. are you, like..." Em sheepishly shrugged her shoulders. "Not... into guys?"

Jasmine could only blink as Emma started talking about muggle movies. She had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. Even though she was pretty obsessed with muggles, she didn't know anything about them. Not that much, anyways. She knew how they lived without magic and stuff, but she hadn't delved that deep into their lifestyle. Not yet, anyways.

"Magic tends to complicate things..."

Jasmine had never heard more truth in one sentence. "That's true," she said aloud as she thought of all the instances in her life where magic had caused issues. Of course she knew the muggle world had issues to, but they didn't have magic. They couldn't kill or hurt or inflict pain in the way witches and wizards could. Sometimes being a muggle seemed like it would be better. Then there wouldn't be much to worry about, really. "I'm not judging! I thought about taking it, but decided not to," Jasmine admitted.

She had kind of expected the next thing to come out of Emma's mouth. It was bound to be asked sooner or later. "I'm.. I don't know with guys. I think I like them," she said with a nod of her head.

Emma felt a stab of exasperation hit her, full force. "You think you like them? How do you not know?" Emma's eyes snapped questions in Jasmine's direction, a bit of worry visible behind a veil of skepticism. Emma's hands sprung to her hips, one golden eyebrow arching indignantly before she could stop herself. "If you think you like them so much, then why did you go on and kiss me?"

Emma shook her head and began to pace around the bathroom. "This is wrong! It's not natural. It can't be right to like guys and girls. It's one or the other. We can't... we can't..." Emma stopped pacing. We can't be like other students. We can't let them know. This type of thing is restricted to common room parties where attention seeking third years try out a smooch to entertain the fifth years. Wait, when was the last time that even happened? See, I made that up!

"I'm confused," finished Emma decidedly. "But I at least thought you knew what you were doing. Knew what to think. How to feel."

"W-well, I mean. I don't really know. I-I mean, I've never wanted to be with a guy before. But that doesn't mean I never will want to," Jasmine got out. Emma's change in tone had changed the entire air in the room. Jasmine knew she would regret kissing her, she knew it. So why had she done it anyways?

Because you're foolish, that's why.

Jasmine fell silent as Emma began pacing the room. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her head on them. She had known she would regret it. That was why she never did anything. She hated being scolded. After a moment of Emma talking, probably to Jasmine, she said "I kissed you because.. I felt like it. I've wanted to for a while."

"It can't be right to like guys and girls." The statement rung in Jasmine's ears as she watched the girl in front of her stop pacing. Jasmine didn't know what she liked. She had never really liked a guy before, but that didn't mean anything. Jasmine had never really liked anybody. There were other people like her, weren't there? Of course. So it was natural. Of course it was. And it was totally okay. At least.. Jasmine had convinced herself so. There's a line between right and wrong, natural and unnatural, yes and no, and well, Jasmine was having a hard time figuring out where she stood on that line.

Jasmine looked over at Emma, still sitting down. "The only thing I know is that I like you. And that I wanted to kiss you," she said with a sigh. "I don't know what to do or how to think, I'm sixteen for Merlins sake. I don't know if me liking you is right or wrong.. but I don't care, either."

Emma stopped pacing. Her arms fell to her sides, face pale and hands shaky. Her stomach felt empty as a tremble shook her bony frame, a chill which had nothing to do with the temperature inside Myrtle's bathroom. As Myrtle's moans fell away to mere whimpers, Emma made a whimper of her own, sheepish and ashamed and still more confused than she'd ever been.

"Do you think that's enough?" said Emma quietly. "Do you think it's enough... to want to be with someone, regardless of everything else? Regardless of what people say, regardless of what people think..." Emma cleared her throat, her eyes falling to the ground. She couldn't look at Jasmine for too long. It seemed wrong. "I don't know what enough is. But.. but I know you. And you know me, better than I know myself. You're my best friend, Jas, and you always were, even when you were miles away from me."

Emma sighed thoughtfully, brain overloaded with a barrage of thoughts like bullets. "I don't know what's enough. But I'm looking at you, and.. it doesn't matter who you've liked. Who you've loved. Who I've loved. I just want someone that sees me for who I am.. and you did, Jas. I just want someone to want me. And I think you want someone to want you, too."

OOC | SO BE BRAVE AND WANT ME BACK OH GOD ;O;

Jasmine fell silent once more, watching as Emma stopped pacing. She didn't feel like she was sixteen, she felt like she was six. Like she was being scolded for doing something wrong. Which was ironic because Emma was constantly telling her to be more outgoing. Jasmine wouldn't have kissed her if she had known it would've ended up with her feeling like poop.

Jasmine blinked her eyes rapidly as Emma continued to talk. She kind of felt like she wanted to cry - and she didn't even know why. She came to the conclusion that it was because she was too sensitive for her own good. After a moment, she looked back up at Emma, who still seemed to be talking. She kind of wished her friend would just shut up so she could just leave and forget about it, but she would never say that aloud. It was too rude.

Emma had always been the braver of the two. She was the one who went to all of the parties, all of the Quidditch games, always had boyfriends and always had fun. Jasmine had always been the quieter one. She preffered to stay indoors, away from society. "I don't want to be wanted. I want you," Jasmine spoke for the first time since Emma had started talking. At that moment she felt like the braver one. The brown eyes found the blue, as if they were searching for something. As if they had some sliver of hope left in the other pair. As if they were saying "so be brave and want me back."

Emma's eyes locked with Jasmine's and she paused, her hesitant heart beating out of time to a chaotic love song of its own creation. Emma was scared, she was confused--but most of all, Emma felt in the warmth of Jasmine's chocolate marble eyes that she wasn't just a girl, lost and confused, unusual and misunderstood. She was just a girl. Well, a girl that liked a girl.

"What the hell," shrugged Emma. The blonde "But..." Would it be rude to say that they would have to be a secret, or did it go unspoken? Emma's eyes were still locked with Jasmine's, uncertain and confused. Lost.

Jasmine stared into Emma's ocean blue eyes for a moment longer, lingering as if she were waiting for something. And then that something came. It was small, so small that Jasmine almost couldn't see it. But it was there. Jasmine had gotten to her, gotten her to accept it. And she could see it in the way Emma shrugged, the way she spoke.

"It can remain a secret for now," Jasmine said. The words kind of hung in the air around them. She was used to keeping secrets - this would be no different. Or would it? She surly hoped so. "We should probably get to class..." Not that Jasmine wanted to go to class. She wanted to stay there and just talk with Emma and stare into her eyes and kiss her and laugh and smile and all of that other sappy love stuff that existed in the muggle movies Emma showed her. But she couldn't, they had Defense Against The Dark Arts. Sadly.

"A secret," repeated Emma, nodding solemnly. "I..." Emma looked like she wanted to protest for a moment, but stopped herself. It had to be done. Things just didn't work out perfectly, not in this universe. Not here, not now. "Okay."

Emma moved forward and gently placed a hand on Jasmine's cheek, cold skin against warm blush. "I'll see you later, then." Emma smiled nervously--nervous? Since when was Emma nervous? Em blushed furiously at the thought and then turned on her heel, speed walking out of the bathroom.

Jasmine could only sit back and watch as Emma walked out of the bathroom. She kind of ran, like she had something to run from. Jasmine sat there for a moment. She didn't really want to get up.. but she knew she had to.

She stood up, looking around the empty bathroom and thinking about what had happened just then. Where did that leave her and Emma? What exactly where they? What exactly was she? Jasmine shook off all of these questions as she left the bathroom.
