HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus

---

Dear Parent,

I am writing you to inform you that your child has recently been accepted to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This school strives off excellence of the students and faculty and we look foward to your childs arrival. Until then my friend.

Signed,

Headmistress Melanie von Struben

Backround Info
Well, the issues with Voldemort are long gone. So ancient, Harry Potter's grandchildren have died of old age. Hogwarts is a flourishing magical academy with an abundance of intelligent wizards and witches. But, the houses are still divided. Slitheren and Gryffindor are still bitter rivals. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw have grown into not as bitter rivalry. Each house also became closer with another. Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, Slytheren and Ravenclaw.

Current Situation
While the magical world is in it's prime, a new darkness spreads. Rooted in the north of magical Russia, it is a dark and threatning force with some influence in magical England. The leader of the new darkness is a brutal man, great-grandson of Draco Malfoy. His name is Graedic Malfoy and he leads a small army of Death Eaters. But, that's not a problem right now.

Information for You
Well, you, the RPer, need to know some stuff. Well, may I present..... STUFF!!! There will be all the usuals. Classes, Quidditch, the Tri-Wizard Tournament, ya know. All of it. You will submit an app, one app unless I clear you for more! You will RP a student, a first year. You (and I) decide your character's fate.

I think I am interested

[The New Texas Lands]

I think I am interested

Great! Any questions?

[Alimeria II]

Not that I can think of at the Moment. Did I mention I participated in a Hogwarts Roleplay on my Old Forum?

[The Republic of Supermen]

Would this be FT? Harry potter takes place around modern times.

Nay. I prolly should add some rules.... ey, I'll do it later.

[Pirin]

interested

[Malshan]

I'm interested. Tentatively. Can I be a werewolf first year?

[Ferkas]

Potentially interested. Just want to make sure this won't devolve into either:

1. A bunch of 2-3 line posts with little to no detail and generally low quality RP'ing.

2. Die out in a week.

[Alimeria II]

And could I be a Metamorphmagus?

[Malshan]

Potentially interested. Just want to make sure this won't devolve into either:

1. A bunch of 2-3 line posts with little to no detail and generally low quality RP'ing.

2. Die out in a week.

Tex usually makes good ones.

[The New Texas Lands]

I'm interested. Tentatively. Can I be a werewolf first year?

Half and half. One werewolf parent, one wizard/witch parent.

2. Die out in a week.

The first one, I'm going to enforce. I'll require an RP sample, have a warning system, and give helpful advice for better postsing.

I define an offense as: a short post below six sentences or a godmod.

First Offense: Mentoring Given, One Strike Given
Second Offense: Mentoring Given, Another Strike Given, If Godmod: Retconning Post
Third Offense: Third Strike Given, Ejection from RP

Aww thanks.

[Firstaria]

Interested, except if this is gonna be a NAZI HP where you can't get anything wrong. RP those, leaved those.

[Malshan]

Half and half. One werewolf parent, one wizard/witch parent.

Awesome. That'll work. It'll give him some animalistic qualities without reverting to a full on beast every full moon. It'll just increase his strength and such. Like that guy from Being Human just before he turns.

[Ferkas]

In that case, consider me interested.

[Malshan]

In that case, consider me interested.

Good to know that my opinion counts for something. Tex, don't let this one die.

Well, err, not really. It'll probably be still Modern Tech. Not that it'll matter really, as we'll spend the bulk of our time in Hogwarts, the surrounding grounds, and Hogmeade. Save for the beginning of each year (Acts or Chapters).

[Firstaria]

It's possible to not be a newcomer or we'll all have to start from 1st year? If it's 1st year, can someone remind me if it's 14, cuz i don't remember really well.

Start at 1st years. It goes with the flow of the RP with NPC other people.

And the age of 1st years is 10 I believe.

[The New Texas Lands]

Forgot House.

[Sentinel XV]

Interested, but perhaps I could play as a professor rather than as a student?

[Malshan]

Application:
Name: Gustave Fenar
Age (1st Years): 11
Appearance:

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 98lbs
Strengths: Potions and Transfiguration and that Animal class that Hagrid taught.
Weaknesses: Defense against the dark arts.
Likes: Animals, food, and quidditch.
Dislikes: Centaurs and purebloods.
Pure Blood, Half Blood, or Muggle? Half blood (half werewolf, one parent witch)
Any Past Magical Training? Yes.
If so, what? Instinct training, potions, basics wordings.
Preferred House: Griffyndor
Biography: Gustave was born to a werewolf muggle and the witch who he met when he turned back to human once. Since then, she had brewed a special potion to keep him under control during the full moon.
Gustave was born on the night before the full moon. When it arrived, his form shifted, stopping halfway between the wolf and the human. Since then, he's been raised with both lineages in mind. He was taught to control his impulses that he got from the werewolf side of his family and was taught the basics of magic (i.e., basic wording). While he was unable to cast the spells at such an early age, he got into his mother's potion making business, learning many of the basic potions at an early age. He mastered those and began learning the more advanced potions by the time he recieved his letter from Hogwarts.
RP Sample: You know me.

[Firstaria]

Ok i checked, is 11:


Name: Daniel Mercury
Age (1st Years): 11
Appearence: Brown hair and brown eyes.
Height: 1,53 cm (hope is not high, i'll usually use my own stat, but i'm 21)
Weight: 54 kg (hope is not fat, i'll usually use my own stat, but i'm 21)
Strengths: Spells, Poison.
Weaknesses: Transfiguration, Magic Creatures.
Likes: Power, Control, Putting other into mess.
Dislikes: When his mess hits him back.
Pure Blood, Half Blood, or Muggle? Pure Blood
Any Past Magical Training? Yes.
Preferred House Slitheren.
If so, what? Pure Blood family trained him that bit you need before Hogwarts.
Biography: Born into a pure blood Italian wealthy family, his parents had argued with the new Durmstrang headmaster when he was 9, so they decided to send him at Hogwarts. A little pissed off by this, Daniel is embarking for the famous school of wizardry with only one intent: make sure his family name is respected like it was in Durmstrang after his brothers make into that school 5 or 6 years ago.

Although he has absolutely nothing against Muggles or Half Bloods, he's actually quite a mischief maker, trying to appear better by messing with the others, except for Spell class, where he's sure to exceed thanks to his training at home. He's also skilled in potions, a skill that uses especially for his tricks to actually use filters to mess with others. He plays Quiddich at home and he's an exceptional goalkeeper, like some infamous Italian ones ith the Muggle game of soccer.

Long story short, he's not a bad guy, but he totally goes this way because he wants to bring the family honor to a new top by "conquering" Hogwarts. He knows not that much about Harry Potter's legend, and totally doesn't know who Malfoy is (except for the fact that it was a notorious Pure Blood name until they sided with lord Voldemort).
RP Sample:

It was a peaceful day at Firstaria...as much as you can call "peace" in the new world. The curse, or sickness as the people who didn't believe in the wrath of Jupiter, was still claiming some victims in the zone of the plebis, and just some hours ago the city welcomed the corpses of 12 Legionaries killed by a barbaric incursion in the west border.

“They are attacking without even rest” Emperor Danielus said to himself looking out his Domus Aurea, the house of the emperor built with the resources obtained by those that long time ago were probably the houses of "the Old Ones", a name given by the population to the suppose people who lived in those areas. But now, only Firstaria remained, and the attacks of the barbarians were probably meaning their resources in the wastelands were over: they needed to pillage the village, or die starving.

Danielus decided it was not anymore time to rest, and called his Praetorian Guard: fortunately, the senate was not in control of the military, because they would probably oppose to sending another scout after the last one returned with his head on a barbarian stick...but he knew he needed to find other lands still not ravaged, to maybe found new villages or at least protect them from the barbarian fury: those uncivilized beasts had already burned down a forest of good wood just to build a tent camp, stupid inferiors.

And then, that question jumped in his mind again...what if there was other cultured villages in those areas? Would they will be friends...or other enemies? He dismissed those question, thinking that he should first find some neighborhood before thinking of what is having one...

Daniel was walking in the street, looking around the "Jack" territory: roads were empty if not for some gang patrols, ready to shoot on sight anyone who wasn't part of their group. A little scared by all this security, he stopped near a rock, probably a block fell form the near abandoned building, and sit on it trying to catch his breath.

The other gang members were smart enough to leave him alone, scared by him, and at the same time he was scared that at any time that fear could actually convince one of those thugs to try kill him...and the worst fear was not him succeeding, but the consequences in case that fool would have failed and unleashed "him".

<< Merc... >> somebody said and he jumped, believing that fear was going to became a reality. << WHAT DO YOU WANT? >> he almost screamed; the other guy tried to hide his laugh, knowing that it was better to not offend the "thing" inside the boy. << An alarm was triggered into one of our territories, we believe one of the subject has escaped... >> Daniel looked at him, saying only << Really??? >>
and the thug only nodded.

And then the show started. A little laugh, and then Daniel asked to the thin air << Someone capable to escape a Jack facility...you believe this time it could be a challenge??? >> silence for a while, then a laugh << I agree...but let's try to not kill this one, who knows maybe is a female... >> he licked his lips, then started to laugh while holding his body. In a matter of seconds, his hair became white and his eyes, hidden from others, became red.
The predator was unleashed. Looking at the now terrified gang member << He's armed? >> and the guy, not knowing the answer, looked around...only to be hit several second after by a metal staff right into the face, slammed on the ground by the power of the hit, and probably unconscious if not dead already.

<< Well, since you don't know...i'm gonna take this... >> he took the shotgun the thug had as a weapon, the ammunition; then he loaded a shot and put the shotgun right on the guy skull...finishing the job with a bang. << Well, seem it works...i hope this guy is serious, "Jack" is not really thinking about his actions to sending me a messenger without some protection. >>

Then it turned to the other thugs << Clean this mess or when i'll return you will be part of it!!! >> His voice was demanding, using eloquence even if not needed << I'll... have to catch a prey... >> he said then while licking his lips again, and then jumping away.
