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?

Trenchcoat. Signature fedora. Luxury cigar. Nothing new for Charles Tortal. The snow beneath his feet collapsed and melted as he stepped, leaving a trail that cut through the ice and slush like a blade through butter. "I assume its safe to comply with the M-L-E," Charles spoke softly, smoke following his exhalations. He licked his lips, savoring the taste of his cigar.

Magical theory, a tricky subject, especially for the ex-unspeakable. He knew Kemp was already going over his head, breathing down his back. Charles heard about Kemp's little... speech about the elementium - there was no doubt that the suspicion the man had for professor had magnified immensely. Charles supposed he was being analyzed for the slightest error, the slightest smudge, before he'd be wiped away.

Rhea had made sure to walk on the up-wind side of him, not wanting smoke blown in her face constantly. "Do you really need to smoke those all the time?" The young woman asked, frown tugging at the corners of her lips. It wasn't a real question, she knew he would continue to regardless of her displeasure.

"Safe enough, for now maybe," she smirked faintly at his next comment, nodding slightly. "I think everyone knows that, Charles."

Rhea fell silent, letting her cool gaze slide across the landscape thoughtfully. She pulled her coat around her more tightly, trying to fend off the chill of the wind. Not the ideal day for a walk through the grounds, but the patrols were necessary.

"I still think you should be careful. Kemp is unstable."

"It's the taste, the flavor of the smoke. Suck it in, breathe it out," Charles repeated the instructions, savoring the flavor once again. "Helps keep my attention."

History books have told the tale of the unstable men and women in power who've fallen to the temptations of their irrationality. The books that float constantly around his office, disorganized and strewn about with a lack of concern, have all been read cover to cover at least thrice; the Professor's knowledge of the facts of the past and the ways wizard behaviors repeat themselves never cease to amaze him. "Kemp is a blind fool - trying to force a nail into steel, it seems."

Professor Tortal adjusted the collar of his jacket with his free hand and fingers.

"Which is why you need to be careful. Your classes are controversial, I doubt Kemp would hesitate to give the order to have you locked away."

Rhea let her eyes settle on the man beside her, contemplating him for a moment, before shifting them to the grounds once more.

"I don't particularly care for what he's doing. The extra security is alright, but his men are idiots. He doesn't seem to understand exactly where the threat is coming from, and that Junior Auror's Academy of his is going to cause trouble."

"I don't see how, unless you're thinking about potential abuse of power," Charles sighed and glanced at the tip of his cigar. He didn't want to waste too much of the tobacco. "I see potential for the students to feel some responsibility; be able to feel as though they're making an impact to a world they entered at a chaotic time."

Charles flicked at the ash at the end of his cigar, scattering all over the melting snow beneath him. The wind that followed his swipe caught momentum and put out the tip. "But... it might be necessary to have the staff and the prefects watch them; make sure they're not... conspiring."

"That's part of it, I suppose. I'm scared they'll turn on each other. Kemp is preaching the dangers of the Elementium, and you know that we have students with those abilities. I'm worried about what will happen if they're discovered."

Rhea sighed softly, stuffing her hands into the pockets of her coat. The Junior Auror's Academy wasn't very well known, but it wasn't a secret by any means. Rhea was an unspeakable, research was like breathing for her. One could find out any information they wanted to if they knew where to look. From what she remembered, certain students had been invited to join, made to sign a secrecy contract, and had received a sort of lesson from Kemp.

Sommer walk out of the school wearing her pea jacket, the wind was picking up gradually, the snow beneath her scuff her black boots. They weren't the best of boots though they made do for when she wanted to get out of schools and away from what happen a few hours ago. She still felt the lies sink deep, she felt disgusted. This lie will never go away, honestly she wouldn't know how long will it take for at least that she forget. She went on detouring the grounds, unaware the presents of a professor and a woman she did not know. With her head down, how could she notice them at first sight, she just kept walking, their distant between them was lengthy. No chance she cross path with them, unless she turn around and walk the other way.

Taryn shot a small smile at her Professor and continued walking through the grounds. Lunch had been a bit of a lonely affair since she still had yet to make any serious friends. Perhaps she was just made to be a loner.

Another thing that had her down was not seeing Henry Tudor. Lately her little crush was growing, and as Henry went through female students like shampoo, Taryn still gazed at him longingly, willing him to turn around and acknowledge her presence.

Taryn looked around and saw Sommer. They were friends, and sometimes hung out, but she couldn't consider her a serious one as of yet. "Hey, Sommer. Getting away from the castle for a bit?"

"Most of the students with the elementium powers are not known to be violent," Charles cleared his throat, tapping his cigar into the inside pocket of his trenchcoat. "If he wants a rebellion, he can sweep the students under the rug."

Professor Tortal glanced around and squinted his eyes as students started to come out onto the grounds. He didn't understand why the students would rather be out in the cold and snow rather than being inside in the warmth. Lunch couldn't have started but moments ago...

Charles took a deep breath and clenched his fists inside his pockets.

"Has the investigation illuminated any new information?" he glanced at Rhea, swallowing his spit. How they managed to break through the defenses of the MLE and the patrolling professors was a mystery. Charles had his suspicions, but he would need to... snoop to find out more.

He doubted that would be safe with Kemp watching his every move.

"I'm aware of their non-violence, but that doesn't mean Kemp is, and that doesn't mean he'll be able to see it."

Rhea sighed softly, shaking her head and turning her gaze to the sky. The corners of her lips turned down more at his next question. The woman shook her head once more.

"Nothing yet. It's a little infuriating. I'm sure with time we could figure it out. Unfortunately, we're working under the assumption that time isn't something we have."

Sommer whirled around hearing her name, it was Taryn. She was one of those few Ravenclaw Sommer supposedly got along fairly well. Sommer shook her head, "It's more like my head spinning and I have a headache type of thing" she lied to Taryn. She could've went along with what Taryn and said that, but she suppose she one of those type of girl she could trust right now, by saying what sort of happen. "Someone died just a few seconds ago, it's sad cause I had to be the one to bring her to the hospital wing" Sommer look down, that's all the truth she was spilling. She couldn't say more than that.

"Why don't you go to the Hospital Wing?" Taryn suggested. That was the logical choice for any ailment, but many students were very proud and stubborn and downright refused to get medical treatment. Luckily, Taryn rarely got ill, but when she did going to the Hospital Wing was the first stop before going to class.

But suddenly Sommer revealed what happened. Taryn's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open slightly. "Wait.. Who died!? How?"

"I was just there" Sommer went on saying, but when she told Taryn the truth, the veela girl was having a problem looking at Taryn while revealing the rest of the lie. "She killed herself and I very much not want to talk about, but than I did bring it up" Sommer wipe away a few specks of tears spilling down from her eyes, she cover her mouth to stop the sobs from coming.

It was to late, she could feel her face drop to a frown and her lips quivering as the tears kept flowing. "It was so stupid, girl I didn't even know her and she killed herself." Sommer wipe away the tears, they kept steaming down as she wiped. "Melaine that's all I know, noting else. I think she in your house" or was in your house, she was now past present.

Taryn knew Melanie. She was so out of the loop when it came to knowing the news that seemed to be traveling around Hogwarts incredibly fast. Melanie and her hadn't talked that often but she was a pleasant enough girl and it was a shame that she hadn't got help before it was too late. Like it usually went in cases like this, Taryn suddenly wished she had made a better effort to communicate with the deceased girl. They were in the same year, but never once did they have any actual conversation.
"We don't have to speak of it." In fact, Taryn suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

"Thanks" Sommer said. She had nothing to be thankful, but the thought of the girl crossing her mind over and over again made the guilt spread like wild fire all over. It sucks, it's the worst feeling to overcome, and it made her depress to think she may never feel simple emotions again. Everything felt plain wrong, no matter how she look at it. "How are you?" she change the subject, it's hard to move from that but she manage to ask Taryn a simple question.

Taryn was grateful for the slight subject change. She didn't want to think of Melanie or how the girl did it... Too many unfortunate events were happening around Hogwarts as of late and it was beginning to become difficult to set it out of her mind. At least a subject change could help in this situation.

"I'm okay, I suppose. Are you going to be alright?"
