Introduction
The rp

User Image



Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, located in a castle in Scotland. It is said to be the "Finest school of Witchcraft and Wizardry." A year has passed since the defeat of the evil Wizard Voldemort at the hands of his arch enemy Harry Potter. Now that the troubles are done and the school is rebuilt it's back to basics for Hogwarts school. Exactly a day after the end of the beginning of the school holidays you receive a letter. It arrives in the oddest way you can imagine,* a large official looking owl. You open the letter and find written on hand made parchment the following.

RP Rules

No Godmodding
Romance is welcome this includes yuri and yaoi. No Shota though
Fill in the Bio Skeleton do not miss things off. If I have missed something you think should be present tell me in the OOC.
No over the top violence this is a PG-13 website
No Cybering for the same reason.
Please write in third person.
Please avoid one liners.
Though half breeds are allowed don't go crazy with them.
This rp takes place starting 1999.
I would like an rp sample this will be how your character receives their letter and their initial reaction to the odd things about it.
The rp will then begin in Diagon Alley which has returned to it's former state at last.
I will allow races not featured in the books. Please note some will be restricted depending on what they are. If they are races not featured the first person who creates one will need to provide me with a small piece that explains the race and how they may fit.
I reserve the write to add to these rules.
Please note that I will take great care in accepting teachers. I don't want to displace too many existing staff. As of now I believe all the open teacher spots are closed.

Please no more American characters. I say this because the school is in the UK and two or three American exchange students is the most realistic number. This doesn't mean I want BNP *spits* prodigies wondering around (though that might be interesting, if we wanted the rp to head that way). But I would like to see a wider mix of students.

School rules
All of the rules in the books are true now. So no brooms for first years.

When she was five Trish began wanting to play the Violin, her parents seeing this as a good thing found her an instructor the woman seemed a little odd. However she was highly rated as a music instructor. During these lessons Trish met her two best friends, her teacher’s son and skater, Bernard and another student Alicia.

Since then the trio spent a lot of time together Alicia introduced Trish to her family and even though Alicia eventually quit playing. They remained firm friends, having sleepovers and learning riding at the ranch Alicia’s family owned. Trish’s first experience with magic came when she was practising a complicated piece at school. A group of bully’s stole her violin taunting her, as they threatened to break it. Before it could be smashed the violin vanished from his hands and appeared in Trish’s violin case. When she explained this to Elena* Trish noticed the odd smile and couldn’t help wonder what it was all about.

From the age of four Alicia has lived in the UK in a custom built house. As a result Alicia can be a bit of a snob but often her snobbish façade is broken if you can make her laugh.

Alicia met Bernard when she was six and she started studying the violin, learning under his mother. She tried for a year before she was able to become mildly good, around the time she was about to quit another young girl started learning with Sally Sparrow. This girl showed far more enthusiasm for the violin and soon enough the Alicia had redoubled her efforts to learn to play. At first she was fiercely competitive however eventually, when the trio of “friends” were waiting to be collected, Alicia saw Trish playing a game on a Gameboy. Intrigued she asked the other girl what it was, almost immediately, Trish’s eye’s glowed and with equal if not great enthusiasm Trish told Alicia about the game. That very out burst and the evident expression of joy on Trish’s face cause Alicia to smile completely sincerely since she’d met Trish.

In the years to come they became close friends and at the end of their last year in primary school, Alicia begged her parents to let her go to the same school as Trish*. That was when her magic seemed to trigger causing one of her mothers, vases to collapse onto the floor.**

During that time he had moments of anger that cause pillows to rip, glass to vanish and things like that.

Over the years he got to know both Alicia and her student Trish who he much preferred. When he turned eleven during the easter Holiday’s he noticed his mother becoming more apprehensive.

However he was not content to just learn this way and he began studying them. He took his time examine towns and villages from every angle. He watched as Wizards and Muggles became completely separate. Eventually he ventures out into the world disguised as an eager young man. He took his time acquiring a wand and studying Human magic.

Much of it was the same only differing in the spoken tongue; some spells came easier to the elves and others to the humans. In the early half of the twentieth century Zaruil met a wizard known as Dumbledore. It was through him that Zaruil was able to gain a position in the ministry posing as a human called Edgar Cartwright. Zauril spent his ministry years further studying the human world as a whole until he at last came to the conclusion that elves and Humans were ready. He left the Ministry shortly before the return of Voldemort and spent the following years, attempting to convince his fellows that the time was ripe. Months after Voldemorts defeat he returned to learn that many things had occurred, the human wizard Voldemort had returned and then been defeated and Dumbledore had met his end.* Much to his surprise he found that as part of Dumbledore’s will the elves were to be aided in there return. Zaruil revealed himself to be Cartwright and after rigorous testing and a deep interview he was granted the title as Professor of transfiguration. As part of the final deal he requested that five students (of the age of eleven) be granted the privilege of joining the school.

~Rebekah Qiuyue Zhou~2nd Year~Ravenclaw~

Rebekah's summer had been dreary to say the least. Her non-magical parents had confined her to doing household chores and entertaining as a few of her family members visited from China. Near every day she longed for when she would return to school and continue her studies of magic. But her parents were unrelenting. They made her work hard all summer until the last week before classes began. She enjoyed only a few days of summer before she had to pack up her things and leave home. She spent one short after noon shopping for books and school supplies before she departed. After everything was organized she was finally ready to leave her dreary summer behind her and head into the next year of classes.

Rebekah pushed her cart loaded with her trunk, book bag, and cat down the long platform the train station, once again search for the fateful platform which led to the train. She found it with ease and spotted a few kids already running through. Part of her felt sad that her parents couldn't send her off to school every year now. They were to busy to walk her all the way into the train station. They sadly had other places to be. Rebekah let out a small sigh, trying to push her own small troubles away from her mind. She pushed her cart through the pillar to emerge on the platform. It was amazing to see all the students walking around. She continued to push her cart towards the train.


~George Cooper~Muggle Studies Professor~

George had spent a blissful summer with his wife in the countryside where their house was. It wasn't more than a couple miles away from the secluded campus of Hogwarts. He had the small house specially built so that his wife could be nearby when he worked at such a magical school. He was actually somewhat surprised when she agreed to move there after he accepted the job offer. She had willingly quit her job and moved with him to the countryside despite what ramifications it might have for her own personal prosperity. For that he would always be eternally indebted to her.

"I can't believe the summer is over," George's wife commented as she sat down on the couch in the main room of their house.

"Don't worry my love, I shall visit often. The school isn't that far away," he replied and sat down next to her.

"Why do they insist that you live on campus? Why can't you live here with me?" she questioned.

"That's just the way things are my love. Don't worry about it," he said and kissed her gently on the cheek. They had already done this one year, so this one wouldn't be as painful. George moved in close to his wife and rested his head on her shoulder. "You know I love you more than anything?"

"I know."

Jaden wulf

Jaden walked the distance to the pillar alone. as he had from the airport to the cabby outside, to the train station, and from the entrance to the pillar. Tickets from america to britain for 3 people just to get a ticket back for 2 was well....espensive, so he was sent on the flight by himself and arrangements made to get to the station, it had been mostly uneventful until he got to the station and saw others running and disappearing into a pillar. Exit stage right. Taking the initiative, he followed the example and soon found himself on the same pillar. "1st floor, socks, underwear steam trains." he muttered as he walked onto the platform with a smile.

Drizzt Do'urden

jaden and the other elves had been instructed to meet at the train this time. It was odd, but then again, if they received special treatment even in how they came to and left for school, then they wouldn't truly be integrating. never the less. It hadn't stopped him from finding his friends from last year. Drizzt waved down rebekah, a fellow ravenclaw and friend from last year. He was happy to see her doing well, though he sensed some sadness. He approached her after his trunk and items had been loaded, looking to the female ravenclaw. "Rebekah, so good to see you. How have you been?"

Marquis Delacroix

Marquis sat in his office polishing a fine rapier he had obtained from an auction during the summer break, it was a antique, but the owners over the years had paid special care and attention to the precision, weapon, to the point of keeping it in complete battle ready conditon today despite the centuries it had undoubtedly seen. Simple sweep hilt style with a slim profile, Complete steel construction with gold filigree laid into the hilt. Regular visits to an esteemed smith were responsible for the blade's well being to be sure. Setting the rapier back into it's scabbard, he set the rapier in all on a stand infront of his desk, a center piece. Marquis was as much a collecter as he was a swordsman himself. He had organized his papers and knew his dueling club this year would have a more profound impact, the last year being moderately successful, though the end of the year was a busy season when students realized that making an official duel out of a dispute meant they could takke out their agression on one another without getting into too much trouble, which was what dueling was originally intended for. Though he wished the main aim wasn't so much agression as it was perfection fot he dueling form itself.
~Rebekah Qiuyue Zhou~2nd Year~Ravenclaw~

Rebekah quickly dropped of her trunk, keeping both her book bag and her cat with her. She held George in her arms, petting him gently, as she headed to board the train when she heard a familiar voice say her name. She turned and smiled broadly upon seeing Drizzt's familiar face. She waved back to him and waited as he approached her.

"Hello Drizzt," she replied happily to his greeting. "I've been well. It was nice to be home although it was hard to get school work done. I'm definitely ready to go back to school." She'd had nearly enough of her family for one summer. Surely she would miss her parents, but that would be it. Plus it was possible she might return home for the winter break, so she didn't worry too much about the time away from them. "How was your summer?" she questioned Drizzt.

Drizzt Do'urden

Drizzt looked to rebekah and smiled as she spoke of her own summer away. "I went back home to the woodland realm for the summer. Hogwarts is nice and all, But It was weird being surrounded by stone rather than the trees." He spoke, sighing a bit. "Andf this place, this....city. There's no life here, it's really sad." he spoke, seeing the decrepid state of nature in a city. "But that's not important too much. We'll be leaving for school again-" he spoke until he saw a purple haired kid walking by. "Hey, isn't that jaden over there, the gryffindor kid you rode in a boat with last year?" he asked, rebekah had told him as much, but the fact he remembered showed he had an astonishing memory.

Summer proved to be an interesting time for Summer as it all but began with Professor Featherby coming to call about a week in. He simply rang the door bell and her mother answered. She'd been on the phone with Summer's father at the time and she stared at the man as if he looked so familiar.

"Mum?" The little girl asked, looking from one adult to the other.

"Summer, why don't you go play outside and hang up the phone for me, Dear?" The little girl huffed a little but smiled at the professor and did as she was told.


Carlisle couldn't help but smile despite the knot twisting in his stomach. "Mildred...after all there years...why didn't you tell me you were still alive?" The blonde asked, shaking his head slightly. "I thought the Dark Lord killed you...we all did."

Looking around hastily, the woman motioned for the other to come inside. "Make yourself at home while I put on the tea..." She said gingerly. The man was persistent and followed her to the kitchen. Fretting the woman asked almost pleading with him, "Who are you?"

"You don't know who I am?" He was crushed.

"You look so familiar! I feel like you were important to me but after the war--things happened to me. I have almost no memories left besides the magic I've learned." The woman confessed.

"You don't remember your own brother, though?"

"I have a brother?" The woman went white.

"I am your brother--Carlisle," He frowned deeply, "Remember?"

"Carlisle!"


And so the Featherby's summer was filled with spending time together. Summer had to adapt to the idea of Carlisle being her uncle while he worked with her mother to help her gain any memories she could back. It so overwhelming for a time that the girl could not contain her excitement to go back to school. The day she was able to go to Diagon Alley was the happiest all holiday!

It was just Summer and her father this time, but she wasn't worried--she knew exactly where to go as she'd been on so many outings there with her mother over the years. It was a trip that she purposely made a day out of though. She made it a point to get herself new robes with a Gryffindor insignia and to get her wand polished and cleaned at the wand shoppe. Finally, it was time to take her poor, overwhelmed father back home. Just a few days later, she boarded the train for Hogwarts.

Fitae, as usual, spent her summer in the solitude of her family's cottage, though, she made sure to correspond with her friends, specifically Julian, frequently. She'd even invited him to come over a few times, thinking it might be fun to go swimming in the nearby lake or to explore in the woods out back or even just play capture the flag in the meadows surrounding their countryside home. All in all, she couldn't complain about how peaceful the summer was. Her first year at Hogwarts had been so overwhelming, though, she was grateful for her new friends who pulled her through. She was a little sad to leave home but knew that this year was to be full of adventure. She planned on unleashing her wild side and breaking a few rules as long as Jullian would, too.

"I'm glad you got to return home for the summer," Rebekah replied after Drizzt finished explaining how his summer went. She was somewhat curious about what his home woodland realm looked like. She imagined lots of trees, naturally, but didn't have a clear understanding of what else composed their city. Maybe they build houses high up in the trees, kind of like the kids in Hook? she thought to herself.

"Eep! Jaden," she said when Drizzt pointed out the boy. Over the past school year she'd developed a small crush on the young boy which she dared not tell him about. "He looks well," she stated after regaining her composure.

Jaden wulf

Jaden was helping to pack up his own luggage onto the train, despite not needing to, he liked helping out when possible.He had surprised the loader when he lifted the entire truck without much trouble, the boy's physical strength having increased that much more with training and puberty kicking in. Once that was done, Jaden bid the loader a good day and walked away, He was moving to the train door when he spotted a familiar face. "Hey rebekah, how was your summer?"

Drizzt Do'urden

Drizzt stifled a laugh at Rebekah's reaction to knowing Jaden was about. It was funny to see, and it was a little obvious that there was a crush there. Especially to the Ravenclaws since all of them were very smart to begin with. And they spent their time together in the doorms that helped too. Pulling on his long platinum blonde hair like his usual habit, he smiled as he gave rebekah a gentle push. "Go on, talk to him." He stated teasing the girl as he stepped back.

Marquis Delacroix

Marquis sighed as he sat in his office. All his swords and daggers were polished, the wood furniture cleaned and polished, papers organized, first week's worth of assignments selected and in order, the stone walls of his office clean and even......He was bored and had nothing to do. He had came back to Hogwarts a day earlier than some of the others to get all this done, but nothing to do now. This might have been a bad idea. Until he remembered the room they had marked off for dueling club indoors. The new room was larger to facilitate the increase in members since the dueling started at the end of the year. There was one grand platform in it, while there were many smaller practice platforms. When the weather was good, they went outside to enjoy the air and to duel on a more real terms and advanced maneuvers, like using terrain. Walking out of his office, he travelled down to the dueling room and looked about, clean as usual, and maintained. There were stands along the walls holding old armor, rapiers, sparring wands, quilted fencing armors, foils, and even garbs that many famous fencers and duelist wore in history. Thinking over the club, he had a small worry, they were gaining more female members which was a slight problem because they all wore skirts and a duelist had a tendency to be sent flying a time or two, so a skirt lift or total wardrobe malfunction was to be expected, but that could cause problems for the club....he'd have to make an announcement for responsibility of one's self in the club and the liability of accidents such as that is occupational in the club and not the club's fault. He might have to make a dresscode that all participents wear pants to avoid that problem

the year hadn't even begun yet and he was thinking of what could already go wrong. But hopefully all would be well. This year would be the beginning of advanced courses in the club and he'd need to assign senoir members to teach new members while he taught the senior members and advanced members.
