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?

Sixth Year Posts: 227 Group: Slytherin Member #24 Joined: Jan 5 2007 Character Age 16 RP Relationship Status In a relationship with the darkness RP Location The Great Hall	Jordanna floated through the forbidden forest, pacing back and forth slightly, just on the outskirts near the quidditch pitch, but still out of view from any potential onlookers. She had risked poking her head out of the forest to make sure that all of the Squires' targets were still present, but she felt that it was too risky to do so more than once. Tonight, Jordanna was dressed not in a way that was common for her. Instead of her usual bright coloured and extravagant clothing, she wore long, dark robes with a black hood, and laying nearby was a silver mask akin to an eerie porcelain doll. Jordanna's nerves were slightly on edge; every breeze that rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees made her jump slightly, and her mouth was dry. It wasn't like Jordanna to be nervous before an attack; hell, she lived for such things. The last time she had attacked from this very spot, however, she was almost discovered by one of the current marks due to her own carelessness. This time, though, there would be no mistakes, and Beth would pay for her interference. Oh yes. She would pay dearly.

Today had been one of the longest days of her life, and Jordanna expected her to do yet another attack. Not that she minded the actual attacking part, but the waiting was murder. Couldn't they just jump in blind, like she often did, and attack without mercy? Was such careful planning really necessary? It seemed easier to catch her enemies unaware. She stifled a sigh, and try to mimic her friend's dainty steps. It was difficult given her outfit of choice. Long, black and expensive lace, held together with a tight corset. If she was going to attack, then she was going to attack in a way that exemplified her rich pureblooded status. Show those filthy lesser bloods what it was like to be worthy of the Dark Lord's orders. Of course, she carried the customary mask in one hand. They were supposed to keep their anonymity, and therefore, protect their positions. Bellatrix loathed this policy, however. If she was going to be loyal to the dark lord, then she should be loyal publicly. Why hide your identity under a mask of black lace? It was a coward's method! "Jordanna!" She hissed angrily into the squires ear, "Why must we hide our loyalties under a mask? Shouldn't the scum of the world know who they fear? This seems like cowards work to me." She scowled sickly, sending an angry glare towards the edge of the forest, towards her victims.

Sylvia stood perfectly still in the shadow of two oaks, her eyes closed as she strained her ears for any sounds. Occasionally there would be the snap of a branch as an animal skittered across, or the sniffling of her angry comrade. Neither were nothing out of the ordinary, therefore Sylvia did not react. But the voice of fellow squire caused her to open her eyes in alarm. Her muffled whispers could be enough to give them away. Sylvia tiptoed quietly towards the source of the noise, and gave her an angry look. Tonight, silence was necessary, and her careless whispers were not to ruin the plan. Sylvia thirst for a new kill.

RP Location --	The meticulous process of escaping the tower, evading corridor patrol, crossing the grounds, and entering the Forbidden Forest seemed to last a lifetime. As the blackness of the forest engulfed her, Anya began to fear that she had arrived late. Had her hands not been clad in slender velvet gloves and her face not hidden beneath the silken black veil, she might have bit her fingertips. Anya was well acquainted with the ways of these witches and wizards. To have a second chance was a foreign idea, so it was essential not to spoil the opportunity. By the time Anya had discovered Jordanna and company along the edge of the tree line, her wand had created imprints and grooves in her palm. Intuitively, she lightened her severe grip on the handle to find that her hand was already throbbing. She was anxious. Anya stepped toward her cohorts, hidden in shadow, so that they might become aware of her presence, but she did not speak. Even her breathing slowed to a nearly inaudible pattern. Though the addition of her dark figure was noticeable enough, she became part of the scenery.

"We would be most effective actually staying inside of Hogwarts instead of being driven out due to our own carelessness," she quipped. "The Dark Lord has many agents on the outside, but we, we are important." Jordanna's head jerked in the direction of yet another approaching figure, and she instinctively pointed her wand at the newcomer. "So, you made it," Jordanna greeted Anya as she revealed herself. "And just in time, too. If we wait any longer, we'll have a hard time getting back into the castle," she commented to no one in particular this time. Since there was nothing more to wait for, Jordanna knelt down and retrieved her mask, placing it upon her face. Being hidden behind the mask made her feel almost immortal, as if she could do or accomplish anything she desired without consequence. "We attack now, Sisters," Jordanna declared, and she set off towards the quidditch pitch.

Otherwise, I will let my face be the object that spreads fear upon others. Not some petty disguise." Bellatrix snarled as she secured the mask in place, and gave Anya an unwelcoming stare, though she could not see it. "Prove yourself or die." Her voice dropped down to a harsh whisper as she passed. With a smirk, she set out towards the Pitch, Sylvia not far behind.

RP Location --	The hairs on Anya's neck stood on end as Bellatrix Black and her razor voice swept past, leaving the Gryffindor alone in the forest. This was it. She gripped her wand even tighter than before and drifted toward the Quidditch Pitch after the others.
