Life at Hogwarts [Started, always accepting]

[Skarlet]

[spoiler=Plot]

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a place of ravishing beauty, a gorgeous castle set in breath-taking grounds, in a beautiful part of England, this it's self should be enough to attract anyone's interest, but that's not all the castle has going for it. Oh no, Hogwarts, as the name implies is literally a magical place, a place with ghosts, moving pictures, enchanted ceilings, ever-changing staircases and any number of wonderful creatures. However, there is something sad about the castle. All of it's beauty, majesty and wonder is always drained by some dark wizard, or other evil force. But not anymore, the magical world is as it should be. This year at Hogwarts, it's time to finally live the life of a Hogwarts student as it was always intended to be lived. Welcome to Hogwarts.

 

 

[spoiler=Rules]

1 All YCM rules apply, particularly the role-playing rules, and more particularly, the Advanced clause. [spoiler=The Advanced Clause, as written]Minimum post quality

 

A good, lengthy post in a role-play should consist of at least four lines with proper English grammar and spelling. However, as a general rule, one to two paragraphs should be included in every post, by the least.

 

A good post should be able to elaborate from, to take material from and use it on your own post. Don't make a post that doesn't move forward the story at some point. (Warning! Be careful when doing this - elaborating too much may be on the brink of Godmoding)

 

Proper dialogue

 

Dialogue / dialog in an RP should be presented either by quotation marks or by speech lines. Script format and/or other means is strictly prohibited.

 

Using script format, por ejemplo, gives lesser room for character evolution and makes overall conversation dull.

 

Copy-paste characters

 

Characters used in different roleplays, with only minor details altered to fit the plot, is strictly prohibited. They completely halt character evolution by not evolving as characters - not in a true way. Sure, this particular incarnation might change, but the overall idea will always be the same.

 

 

2 There will be no fighting on my thread, in character fights, arguments duels, ECT... are fine, but if you must bicker out of character, please take it to the PM system or something, the rest of us don't need to get involved in your disputes.

3 The password is the first name of the founder of your house.

House: Ravenclaw

Appearance: Tall, with black hair and icy blue eyes. Emo style.

Personality: Dark, but intelligent and happy at times to. Very friendly.

Bio: Damien is from an all-Muggle family, so his parents were surprised when things started happening around him that normally wouldn't.

Four years later, Damien has made many friends and improved the control of his magic greatly, his best subjects being Transfiguration and Potions, though, like most Ravenclaws, he excels at most of his classes. In his third year, he discovered the Room of Requirement while contemplating the best way to get back at a Slytherin who had played a prank on him and found the room full of weapons that could be used to humiliate him.

[Skarlet]

^Accepted. If we could get some other students, who were in different houses that'd be great. I'm willing to start once we have atleast one member for each house. or...7 members, whatever comes first. So if anyone has some friends they'd like to invite. That would be great.

[Kaisu]

Name: Royke Kunoki

Gender: M

School year: Sixth[17]

House:Hufflepuff

Appearance:See 'other'. I'll provide good description when he changes though.

Personality:Royke is a laid-back, smart student with a dedicated and brave personality.

Bio: Royke is a pure-blood from a rich line or pure-bloods, and he is somewhat prejudiced, and he despises his cousins, who are blood traitors ever since his uncle married a mudblood, and ever since he hated muggleborns. His parents were rich, and their Gringolts Vault is one of the most secure, with over ten million Galleons inside.

 

He was a talented magician as soon as he showed signs of magic, he was quite controlled, though he continued to cause acidents, and he has seens Saint Mungo's walls several times until he got a wands and was enlisted in Durmstrangs, until he was expelled.

Personality:She is a mysterious, sinister person. She is shady and dark. She is bright and intelligent, known for her brains.

One of her descendents had a dispute with a vampire, resulting in them being bitten and later killed. Ever since, vampire blood ran through Fable's family, but Fable is unsure of her true heritage, as she found out she was a Parsletounge, though she was in Ravenclaw. She is often though of as crazy, and she is somewhat crazy due to isolation and depression, so her mental condition is gradually healing.

 

She is great at charms work, though her Defence Against the Dark Arts skills are terrible. She is exceptional at Potions and Care of Magical Creatues. She is still troubled, and is planning to take on Divination during her third year.

House:Slytherin

Appearance:Light has black hair that falls over his eyes and reaches down the back of his head, and he had thick skin, a muscular build and round red eyes.

Personality:Bored, Lazy, Dark, but actually friendly and very kind, much to the suprise of many people.

Bio: Light's life before Hogwarts is a blind spot as his memory was modified in a disasterous duel between his father and a rival of his, with Light ending up almost dead.

 

Ever since, he despised his dad and wanted to become a muggle like his mother, something he continued to fail at as he sent a blender's inards flying across the room. However, much to his delight, he is a good chef, and he is proud of the fact that he is contiually failing at wandwork.

 

He keeps a large white hound at Hogsmeade, visiting it whenever he can. In school the dog is his best friend, so he is often blanking his human friends when nearing a trip to Hogsmeade. After reports of a Werewolf on the grounds, the headmaster became wary, but later found something interesting..

Other: He was born an Animageous, however, instead of changing into a normal animal, he turns into a Werewolf at will, though he cannot contaminate others and is much smaller than the average werewolf for his age.

Password:Salazar Slytherin

 

Don't worry, I can control them all..

[Time Psyduck]

Name: Arnold Lister

Gender: Male

School year: 6th (16)

House: Gryffindor (how is this house still empty?)

Appearance: At over 6 foot 2, he's one of the tallest students in the school, although he's also rather thin. He is, however, rather strong physically, although it's not always obvious. He has medium length black hair and handsome features. When out of his uniform he usually wears a black jacket and trousers, with a white shirt.

Personality: He has, in the words of a famous member of his house, a 'saving people thing,' also know as a hero complex. He simply cannot stand by whilst someone is in trouble, and is always willing to help people, even when it would put him in danger. On the other hand, he's also a rather solitary person, and doesn't generally make friends easily.

Bio: Arnold has a wizard father and muggle mother, although since his father was Muggle-born himself Arnold is (as far as they can tell) unconnected to any of the old wizarding families. They raised Arnold in both worlds, enrolling him into a muggle school until 11, whilst his father helped him control his emerging magic at home. Generally he had a normal childhood, aside a few incidents when he was younger - most of which involved the school bullies beating themselves up or something along those lines - and was generally well-liked by the local muggle population. He wasn't, however, unprepared for Hogwarts, since he had been taught how the magical world worked, and he had visited many of his father's wizard friends at various times.

In Hogwarts, he was again generally liked, although he didn't make many friends, preferring to be alone. Here his hero complex really began to develop, and was often found helping students with problems, which helped endear him to many.

Other: No, don't think so.

Password: Godric

[Skarlet]

All accepted, Kaisu, being a Hogwarts RP I don't really like the asian names, but okay. You may begin, start at platform 9 3/4 and I'll be along soon.

[Time Psyduck]

Arnold leaned casually on the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, looking from the departing train in platform 9, to the arriving service in platform 11. With most people looking away from him, he took his chance and slipped backwards, pulling his trolley alongside him. As he came though he immediately noticed the shift back into the wizarding world, as well as the familiar scent of steam wafting down the platform. He pushed his trolley clear of the barrier to prevent someone following running into him, and decided to look for somewhere to sit. There were already quite a lot of people around, so he set off down the train, looking for somewhere to sit.

[Luna Lovegood]

Henry was already on the train. He always arrived early, ever since in his first year, he'd arrived just in time and been stuck with some annoying kids. His luggage was safely stowed and he was sitting comfortably reading a book. He was entering the fifth year, and was ready to face the challenge OWLs would provide. He was even excited at the prospect of them.

 

He stretched his legs and yawned. Nobody was in his carriage yet. He had a tight knit group of friends, who did everything together. He was excited to see them all again.

[Theseus]

Damien looked up and down the platform, the blue and silver badge gleaming on his chest, polished as it was since the day it came in the owl post. He waved to Harry, who was looking at him through the window. "Hey, Harry, I won't be sitting with you today. Got to go up to the Prefects' cabin then patrol the corridors for a bit.."

 

Damien thought of the prospect of being in a compartment with the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins. Damien silently thought to himself who the other Ravenclaw Prefect would be.

[Time Psyduck]

Having come quite a long way back, Arnold found a compartment that was still empty. He heaved his trunk up into the rack, pushed a medium sized suitcase alongside it, and sank into the window seat, dropping a small backpack onto the seat beside him. He pulled out a muggle bottle of water, took a sip, and then dropped it back into the bag. He leaned back into the chair and sighed.

 

Really, do they have to have everyone come to London? Wouldn't it be easier to pick everyone up as the train passed? Oh well, at least it gives me some time alone. He looked sideways out of the window, watching as a first year fought off his mother, who had caught him in a tight hug.

[Skarlet]

OoC: Now would be a good time to mension that Harry and his friends have long since left the school and won't be involved in this RP.

 

Cayden sat down in a compartment to himself, not because he wanted to be alone, but because he was hoping that certain people would join him. He produced his guitar and began to pluck a tune, the sound was beautiful. it filled the compartment and spilled out into the halls. Cayden kept the door locked and stared at it, waiting for some of the right people to come rather then the usual obnoxious girls that would flock to him when they heard his music. He wasn't interested, not because he had some kind of stupid celebrity complex. It was simply because he wanted a girl who wasn't like that who would be soft, understanding and connect with him. Rather then just swoon over his desirable accent and guitar skills.

[Kaisu]

Fable leaned through the post, stumbling out onto the platform as she walked towards the train. Light came in soon after her, with Royke charging through.

 

Royke was switching to bright green hair that looked like it had been caught in an explosion, his nose lengthening until it became long and crooked, and he chuckled to himself as his eyes became grey, and he pushed Fable away as he stepped onto the train.

 

Royke went and found himself a compartment with a bunch of other people, and Fable slunk into Arnold's compartment while Light fumbled with a door, before pulling out his wand and murmuring the unlocking charm, then throwing the door open before slamming it shut and locking it again.

 

"Well.. That's a first." He said out loud as he went and sat opposite Cayden. "Hiya, I'm Light. I don't think I've met you before."

[Time Psyduck]

Arnold watched as a younger girl - probably a first or second year, although he thought he'd seen her around before - slipped into the compartment. She seemed to be rather pale, and also gave off a rather sinister vibe. He couldn't tell what it was, but he felt he should do something about it.

 

"Good morning," he greeted her, with a light smile.

[Skarlet]

OoC: Please don't short post.

 

IC: Cayden smiled to the bpy, he didn't have an issue with this one. "My name's Cayden" His Welsh accent was thick and heavy. Indicating his guitar to the boy, he spoke again. "It's good to meet you, Light, do you mind if I play, I'll do it softly so we can talk, but I really like to play my guitar on this trips, everything seems to go a little faster. Cayden glanced out the window, they were about to leave, his mother was standing not far away from the window, she saw him and waved. To which he responded with a happy wave back. before turning his attention back to Light.

[Kaisu]

"Oh, it's alright. I enjoy a bit of music myself." Light said as he sat down. He leaned back and kicked his trunk back.

 

Fable sat down. "Good morning.: She said softly, looking up for a second before leaning back and soon falling asleep. At least, she seemed asleep.

 

Royke was busy changing his hair, eyes and nose back, and soon he had short blonde hair, grey eyes and a small nose.

[Maghion Syaoran Light]

Name: Andrew Martins

Gender:Male

School year: 7th [17]

House: Gryffindow

Appearance:

Tall, appears skinny but is quite muscular. Black medium length hair with red highlights combed to the back.. Wears glasses. Has dark brown eyes

Personality:

Quite lazy and unorganized but works hard when necessary. In other words, he likes to lay back and relax but knows when hard work is absolutely needed.

Password: godric

[Time Psyduck]

((Sorry about that.))

 

She fell asleep? Arnold thought. I guess it's not that unusual - if she came into london this morning she probably had an early start. Arnold had been up early himself, but it was his own choice - he could have easily made it from the Leaky Cauldron if he'd slept for another couple of hours, but he had always felt it better to be early.

 

He looked back out of the window at the people wondering about. He idly wondered how much longer before they set off - the clock was out of sight from here, but the number of students on the platform suggested there were at least a few more minutes. He considered his watch, and then remembered it was broken, and that he was waiting until he could use magic again to fix it. Oh well, it had been gone ten when he reached the station, so it couldn't be that far off.

[Skarlet]

OoC: I lost the game

 

IC: He took up his guitar again and began to pluck out a soft, melodious tune. When he spoke, his voice sounded as though it was half way between song and speach, a noise, that, with his Welsh accent, must have sounded very much intoxicating. "So, what year are you going into?" He'd seen Light around in previous years. So he was that his traveling companion wasn't a first year, also, he was quite a bit too large to be a normal 11 year old. He looked out at the door and noticed the lady who bought the trolley around was waiting for thier attention. "Do you want anything? Personally I could go for some pumpkin juice and maybe a few cauldren cakes."

[Kaisu]

"I'll have three chocolate frogs and some Butterbeer." Light replied handing over a heap of Knuts. "I'm in fourth this year." He replied cheerfully as he ripped off the head of a frog with his teeth. He drained a quarter of his Butterbeer as he inspected his card. It was Harry Potter. He sighed. "I have twenty Potters. A bit too many, in my opinion." He said.

 

Fable's eyes flew open as she pulled out a copy of The Oracle and began to pour over it, her trunk flying around the compartment as she ripped the book out.

[Maghion Syaoran Light]

Tired and worn out from fighting his parents once again before leaving to Hogwarts, Andrew collapses into the first compartment he saw and fell asleep in an instant.

As always, he is instantly immerse in a nightmare where he relives some bad memories of his childhood or his tennage years with his step mother. Then quite suddenly, his dreams changed in the middle into a memory he would never forget. This has never happened before, Andrew always was stuck in some kind of nightmare. But this time, he dreamt of seven years ago where an owl randomly flew through their open window bearing a mysterious letter from a school called Hogwarts. He chuckled in his sleep as he wondered what kind of prank is this. Certainly wizards and magic can not be real, it goes against all laws of physics! Ah, if only he knew at that time. Muggles are quite fascinating when it comes to hidding the magical world and explaining the unexplainable. Ever since, Hogwarts has become a home for him.

Just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder, instantly awakening him from his first great dream. "Would you like to buy a snak?" It was the food cart passing by.

"no," Andrew mumbled, and willed himself to sleep as the cart continues on. Since he is the only wizard in his family, he has no wizarding money. Sadly, Andrew could not return to sleep so he stared out the window and stared into space, day dreaming of what his futre would be like as an Auror...

[Kaisu]

Light's head swung foward as the train accelerated, and it trailed out of the station as the last pupils boarded the train. Light eventually dozed off as he listened to Cayden's guitar.

 

He saw crouching behind a large vase, watching as two large figures duelled. Spells were fired off as they hit walls and furniture. Walls burned and glass flew as Light retreated slowly, his eyes wide with horror.

 

"Avada Kedavera!" Light's father's opponent shouted and the green light burst out of his wand. Light's father roared with anger as he levitated a vase in front of him, shattering it as he fired several hexes. Light caught a glimpse of a girl huddled in the opposite side of the room as a white beam of light hit him.

 

Light shook himself. He had a bad feeling in his gut. He had been haunted by that memory. It was the only memory he hadn't lost.

[Maghion Syaoran Light]

After giving up on trying to go back to sleep, Andrew decided to wallk around and try to spot any familiar faces and maybe check out the first years. Its always fun watching them try to perform a spell. it often leads to some epic failure that Andrrew simply has to laugh at. However, something seems odd in the train:

The train seems more darker and gloomly then usual. usually, it would be a happy, jolly place filled with laughter and excitment about returning to Hogwarts or first day of Hogwarts. Something seems out of place...
