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?

Head of Magical Law Enforcement Posts: 151 Group: Magical Law Enforcement (M.L.E.) Member #1,443 Joined: Apr 19 2010	I'm sure you guys have all seen Kemp's announcement at Dinner time on Day Four, if not, find it beginning here. If you're wondering what this is about, then read this: Okay, so, in light of the Tristan Nightshade kidnapping, it just made sense to accelerate our plans for the MLE plot his year. Forget all that I had already planned, Tristan Nightshade's capture is the turning point. The MLE will begin its investigations, prodding into the lives of staff and students in hopes of finding KoW spies and infiltrators starting Day 5 of year 6. The MLE will call their suspects up for questioning twice. The first time, they will ask questions and allow the staff member or student to speak for themselves. Mostly innocuous stuff: "Where were you born", and "how did you get your job at Hogwarts" if you're a staff member. After that, the one being questioned will be allowed to leave, but it won't be over yet. The MLE will investigate, delving deep into the personal lives of the "suspects." The MLE will do investigations in between the interrogation and the trial. They'll be digging up everyone's dirty laundry. If they find that someone has lied about anything, anything at all, the MLE will put that person up as a defendant in a series of trials. It does not matter if that secret has anything to do with the Knights, Azariah, or the recent incidents. When the suspects are called back, they will be treated as defendants in a trial. They will be given veritaserum and made to speak the truth. They'll allow the "defendants" to speak for themselves, however, they will be administering veritaserum. Why wouldn't they, right? I know that might raise concerns in your minds, but hear me out: The reason why this will still work without revealing anything we don't want to reveal (specifically, about the existence of the Squires) is that the MLE will fail to ask the right questions. That the MLE could have a way to get he absolute truth out of everyone, and yet fail to get the answers that would lead to the discovery of the true threat, is a very poignant statement about this kind of nationalist/government paranoia. This is the way paranoid government entities like Kemp and the MLE think: Anyone who lies is afraid of the truth, and why would they be afraid of the truth if the truth wasn't somehow incriminating? Its exactly what happened during the "Red Scare" of the Cold War/McCarthy era in the United States. Determined to expose perceived "Communist Spies" in the United States, people's lives were ruined and turned upside down as their whole lives were picked apart by a government looking for anything that they might have been hiding. And it is a particularly big issue for me, because I see it happening again now with Peter King and his committee that he's put together to bring Muslims--AMERICAN citizens who are Muslims--up before government tribunal to be questioned as to why the Muslim community isn't "doing enough to combat radical Islam"--implying that, by not "doing enough to combat radical Islam" (whatever that means) is somehow grounds to suspect Muslims of aiding it. Which is McCarthy-Era politics all over again. And, let's face it: Everyone's hiding something. It doesn't make them a criminal, but try telling people like Joe McCarthy, or Peter King, or Abraxas Kemp that. Their positions and their power, and their fear of losing it, completely divorces themselves from the kind of human empathy that would be required for them to realize that even they have secrets, and although those secrets don't make them criminals, this kind of bullshit does. My plan is that the deepest, darkest secrets that would shake a character and his or her relationship with other characters can be revealed through this. Ian will be one of those whose world is about to be turned upside down. After this year, everyone will know (because they jury will be of the defendant's peers, a student's own classmates and a professor's own colleagues will be present) that Ian is not what he has been pretending to be. Obviously, that Ian has no blood relation to his father means nothing to the situation, just as the fact that Ian's step brother is a known Knight does not mean that Ian is as well, but it is one reason that Ian is one of the first to be brought in for interrogation. And regardless of those facts, Ian's life as he knows it will be over, and all for nothing. So there's one example of what is to be expected. Past deeds, past associations, and family histories are all up for grabs. The adults especially should have plenty of dirty laundry. You don't get to live that long and not, especially if you're a in a respectable position like a Hogwarts Professor. In that final tribunal, I'm thinking the Defense Club, SAVIOR, and perhaps Terry's Anti-Kemp initiative will all be brought forward for prosecution. We should come up with a way to build tension and suspicion that will bring the MLE to become aware fo these groups and to bring them up. I want the Junior Aurors in on this in some way. Many of the HIRP staff have already plotted with me on their characters' involvement, so in the interest of keeping things exciting, I wont' reveal the details here, however, all of you will be able to sign up to be interrogated and put up on trial. Now, I know we can't possibly RP an interrogation for everyone, and then bring everyone to one of the trials. That would take too long and be pointless, and I doubt everyone has secrets that are all that interesting. We'd only be doing those who agree to have their secret revealed, and only those that are particularly interesting, will have a lasting impact on their character, and weren't just made up on the spot (i.e.: the character must have already had the secret before I made the announcement, and it must have already been mentioned somewhere in a past RP or on their character sheet). And the owner of that character MUST be willing to allow this revelation to drastically affect their character from then on. There won't be any going back to normal. Some characters may (and I know at least two WILL) be forced to leave Hogwarts because of the social problems their secrets being revealed will cause them. This is not for members or characters who are just fooling around. For everyone else without a good dirty secret to reveal, their "review" will be implied as having happened, but not RPed. Members who don't actively participate in this plot may reference their review as having happened AND they may even be chosen as part of the jury during a trial. As for that jury, the M.L.E. will seek to stock the jury with the people most likely to give a guilty verdict: That is, those loyal to the MLE, or those who are gullible, impressionable, and, let's face it, too stupid to get out of jury duty. Perhaps they may even go out of their way to stock a jury with peers who have a grudge against the defendant. So, basically, what we need are students and staff with some INTERESTING dirty laundry to reveal, staff and students willing to act as jury for their peers (who, at least in a few cases, should meet the parameters listed in the above paragraph) and M.L.E. agents to conduct the reviews. Other things I'm interested in doing is having intelligent staff members and teachers act as defense for the defendants if needed. Other actors in these dramas will be determined as we need them to reveal whatever dirty laundry the defendant has, but, for now: Any takers? This plot will lead directly to this year's finale, so it is of great importance. Edited by Abraxas Kemp, Jun 30 2011, 07:04:19 PM.

Though the fact that his mother was killed by the knights could end up tilting the scale in either direction; be it that the Knights threatened him with his mother's life if he didn't cooperate and he now is out of fear for others, or he now has an undying hatred for the Knights. All in all Hellius' file is inches thick.

I feel that if she meets Kemp she would be really impressed by him and blinded by his status. I kind of might have her be a huge fan of Kemp. Also, because of her ability (clairvoyance) she knows that some students were accidently at fault for a student's death. Then there is Isaiah who is an undercover Auror. So he could help question other students and be on the jury much to the surprise of the staff since they don't know the relationship between Isaiah and Kemp. Also, as an Auror, if you need Isaiah for anything else let me know.l

I'll need to know more about the details concerning Scarlett and these students, but the Isiah thing is definite gold. Having him appear as a witness with evidence against staff and students right at the end would be dramatic gold.

I know you said the 'secret' should be already in their history but I've had the bad guy's character sheet written for some time. He (Septimus) might be great for this role, as his secret involves killing his three brothers (I could PM you the whole thing). I'd also like him to be a KoW spy but I don't have this approved yet. If you agree with this, I could apply with him today. Just one question - even if his secret was revealed, would he be allowed to stay at Hogwarts? With the consequences that he would become suspicious/feared among students and staff, of course. And Beth is both in JAA and DC, so I'm not sure what Kemp would do about her. She could be on the jury, as she seems gullible, but despite almost worshipping Kemp, she probably wouldn't be able to vote guilty for some defendants (like her friends). But this would definitely have a huge impact on her and I would love RPing that inner conflict. As for Snape, he visits Hogwarts only occasionally, but I could get him involved if you'd like.

Seventh Year Posts: 556 Group: Ravenclaw Member #913 Joined: Jun 7 2009 Age 18 Location Pennsylvania Real Name Sarah Character Age 17 RP Relationship Status Single	Avery's mom works for the MLE, so she'd probably be pretty biased to do what they wanted. However, she's also going to turn to the Knights and Squires after her mother's kidnapped. So maybe at the beginning of the trials she's chosen because Kemp knows her mother and figures she'd be a good asset for the jury. And she is... until her mother is kidnapped by the Knights. When that happens, she's going to be losing all faith in the MLE and blaming them for not being able to protect her family. Plus she gets mixed up with Azariah after this, so she's really not willing to convict anyone. Then she'd be sure to vote not guilty for everyone, screwing up the original plan.

So, anyway. Elaine's technically a member of the DC and fairly anti-MLE, which would definitely come out if she were interrogated, though otherwise she wouldn't be very interesting. She's pretty unassuming, doesn't really like people so maybe they'd think she's a good idea for the jury? Also, I've brought Laurel back and she goes to great lengths to keep people from knowing about her family's curse/her identity (after she moved in with her mother's family, all ties with her father were broken, her last name was even changed). And it would certainly be easy to stock a jury with people who have a grudge against her because she isn't very likable. Rosalind/Brennan wouldn't really work for either interrogation or jury.
