Welcome To Hogwarts!
Bring your owl, your cat, or your toad and join the rest of the students in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. This RP is all about Hogwarts and the story that goes along with the Harry Potter RPS. You can play a good character or you can play a wicked character. Its up to you! I’ll play Voldemort along with my own character, since he is a crucial character for the wizardry world. Make up your own character, and post your character sheet in the OOC thread. We will start when I think we have enough people.
A few general rules (read them please): 1.It is important in a RP like this to NOT go into a God Mode. 2.Read EVERYONES post, even if their character has nothing to do with yours at that moment. They may in the future. It is all right to make mistakes and miss something someone posts, but if it happens too often we’ll know that you’re not reading everything. If it is quite obvious your not reading posts, I'll take it upon myself to kill off your character myself or have someone else do it. ((Going Desperado-style)) 3.Abide by the Advanced RP rules, posts must be 2 paragraphs or longer. 4.Take a look at the links below, they contain the spells and teachers of Hogwarts. The Teachers are sort of floating characters; anyone can play them when it’s the appropriate time. Example: You may want your character to react with Snape, so you could just control Snape. 5.Don’t control anyone else’s character unless you have their permission. And don’t kill anyone’s character without permission. 6.If you want two characters, make character sheets for both. 7.Important: Even though this character takes place in a fantasy world, lets try to make it reasonably realistic. If someone’s character says something, have your character take into consideration everything they said. This is an Advanced rp, so lets give it justice. 8.Everyone needs to stay on the same day, and they should all be in the same time or close to it. That means no skipping ahead to night while others are still in morning. 9.No one will be left behind or left with tons of posts to read when they get online. So, if you notice someone hasn’t posted in awhile, just hold off on your posts until they’ve had a chance to read. It sucks to get online and see that no one cares enough to wait. >_> Character Sheets: Name: Age/year: We Will all be starting as first years. This is for if your not a student. Personality: A little history: Any special abilities: Owl/cat/toad?: Picture(optional): Spells: Spells in Harry Potter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Teachers: Hogwarts staff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ( The teacher you wish to look at may not be on this page, but their name will be in blue, and you can click on it to find out more about them.) Houses: Hogwarts houses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Subjects: Hogwarts subjects - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Grounds: Hogwarts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Creatures: Magical creatures (Harry Potter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You don’t have to read all of these, their just for reference and if you need to look up a spell or teacher. This is gunna’ be fun!!!

Zippers hooted indignantly as the bright red train of 9 ¾ blared its horn to warn lingering students that it would soon be heading towards Hogwarts. The small black owl had been a nervous wreck ever since he had left his owners bedroom. He didn’t mix well with cars, trains, or even the mistrustful and oblivious muggles. Ruffles his feathers moodily, he peered up at his owner with bright and wide orange eyes.
Kim-Lee was looking at the train nervously. Her eyes were a deep blue, which was rare for a girl with a pure Japanese heritage. Long eyelashes curled out from her lashes, and touched the area right under her eyebrow since she had a deer-in-headlights look about her currently. After going through the magical wall, looking at the train, and observing the kids that were getting on the train…it seemed as if even more butterflies had decided to hatch inside her stomach. Quickly she spun around, to retreat back to her adoptive parents, but when she did so…they were gone. It was almost as if they had known that she would try to talk them into not making her go to school. It wasn’t as if she was going to a normal school, she was heading off to a school of magic…it was completely different, and she had a right to be nervous. Zipper hooted up at her, and somehow this gave her the courage to take her first few steps towards the train. She noticed that a lot of the kids had their uniforms on, and she wondered if she should be wearing hers as well. Her pants were a pair of denim blue jeans that were a little faded, and she wore a short-sleeved white shirt that advertised a Japanese band in Japanese. Her skin was pale, but smooth, and her body form was fairly thin. To keep her hair out of her face she had pulled back the long strands in a ponytail, and since she was a young teen…she was of course insecure about her appearance. Especially since no one else around her seemed to be Japanese… She allowed a few men to take her bags, but she kept Zipper with her in his little cage. Then, she climbed on board and walked to the very back of the train where she plopped down in what she thought was an isolated compartment. Her English was a bit choppy, and that didn’t help her confidence about her situation either. Zipper seemed more comfortable now that they weren’t around so many people, so he tucked his head under his wing for sleep. “No! Don’t leave me!” Irritated she tapped on the cage, but the owl just continued to sleep…even letting out a couple of sounds that seemed like little snores. Things were looking rather gloomy for her first moments as a Hogwarts student, but she didn’t foresee the adventures and challenges she would go through with her soon-to-be-made friends. Soon she wouldn’t feel so insecure about herself and her magical abilities, but she would also gain fear and uncertainty about the world around her. It was the beginning of a very interesting year. ((OOC- Have fun and keep it believable please, lets try to make this one last a hella’ long time. ^_~ Use the links I gave you to get proper spelling of things and your spells. Sorry, I’m nervous!))

A whistle shrieked the air. Not a train whistle. A bird whistle.
The muggles who walked King's Cross stared wide eyed at the pergerine falcon that soared from the higher reaches of the building onto a young grinning girl's arm. She was wearing a most unusual black robe covering a uniform blouse and skirt with a striped tie of yellow and black. A muggle would think the girl missed Holloween. A wizard would think the first year's parents were a bit presumptuous to give the girl a yellow and black tie when she hadn't even been sorted yet. But then again, what other house would a descendant of Hufflepuff be put into? Skyla gave a few quick pets to her falcon's feathers before putting him into a cage and giving a staring police officer a view of her extended tongue at him. She merrily skipped off, dragging behind her more luggage than, again, a muggle would find usual. A wizard girl might ask her why she packed light. Skyla didn't have much really to do with fashion. She probably had more books than clothes, to any young lady's shock. With her more angled complexion and sturdy posture, they probably would think her to need much more clothing to compensate for her more "unfeminine" look. Normally, she wouldn't be as girlish to stick out her tongue or be skipping through a public building. She wasn't like that. But today was going to be the day she arrived at Hogwarts, a day she had been looking forwards to for years. So she didn't mind it as her longish black hair flowing behind her as she skipped straight through a wall that was convienently located a manner between Stations 9 and 10, more generously leaning towards 10. She emerged into her world with a sigh of contentment before regaining her composure and staring down a boy looking at her funny, making him scamper off. She smirked and resumed her trek towards and up into the rear car of the red and black locomotive they related to as the Hogwarts Express. She chose a more lonely looking appartment to prevent from being locked in with some over-chatty popular girl who would relate the varying intricacies of magic as applied to footwear. She quickly entered and closed the compartment door, placing her bags up top, excepting a shoulder-harnessed bag she kept swung around her shoulder and her cage with the attentive Tanti in it. She plopped down on the seat. "On my way at last!" she said with contentment, looking around the room to notice a girl sitting near the window opposite to her. She hadn't noticed the asian girl at first, as she had almost dug herself away from everything as if a rabbit in a hollow. "Oh, I'm sorry..." she commented friendily. "...is it alright if I sit here?"

It had been several hours since Thomas had been walking down Diagon Alley. He felt pleasant seeing so many as himself, and he looked forward to this year at Hogwarts. In the streets he could see so many wonderful things. Broomsticks, cauldrons, books and so much he wanted. It took him and his parents some hours getting what he needed for his first year at school, but they finally got it all. But what Thomas liked best was when he got his wand.
They had walked into Mr. Ollivander's store, and they had talked to him to make him find the best suitable wand for Thomas. It took Mr. Ollivander some time, but he finally found the right one. The wand was eleven-inch and made out of the wood willow and chimaera scales. Mr. Ollivander told Thomas that this was a rare wand, but still very powerful. Thomas got an amazing feeling when he first held the wand in his deep hands. After that, his parents got him a beautiful winter owl. The owl had magnificent long white feathers, a black beak and deep dark eyes. He named the owl Lyra. Thomas had just arrived at King's cross station and he was very eager to finally traveling to Hogwarts and meeting new friends. Thomas looked forward to using his wand and he would love to do it now, but he knew his parents would get mad. "Goodbye mom and dad, I'll cya when it's Christmas," he said to his parents with a sad voice. He was going to miss them so much. He took his bag and everything he had with him and went over to the magic entrance and went trough. The first thing Thomas spotted after running through the concrete wall, was the amazing train which stood in front of him. It was bright red and so large. It looked like he was just in time, because the train would leave soon. He stared at it for a second and then got his things and gave them to the men who loaded it into the train, he kept his owl with him. His owl made a high sound as he stumbled her cage in the wall. "Oh, I'm so sorry Lyra. That will not happen again," Thomas said to the owl with a sad look. He then stepped on board the large train and found a compartment. Thomas sat down and took a deep breath. He was alone in the compartment, but he wished that someone else would join him. He looked outside the window and could see parents saying goodbye to their kids. Lyra made a sound so he turned his look to her. She looked at him confused. "Well this is it Lyra. We are finally heading to Hogwarts," he said with an eager tone. Then he leaned back and relaxed.

Drake blinked at the massive red train in front of him, this train would take him to the place that would change his life indefinitely. He stared at it for a few seconds along with his grandparents, not saying anything. He wasn't nervous... well... maybe a little...
"Now do your best while you're there Drake... and don't get into any trouble, we don't want to get you back home before the year is over... at least not in more than one piece..." his grandfather had came up and put his hand on his right shoulder, he was a rather large and bulky man, his dads father. "Yeah yeah... I'll be fine, just don't miss me too much." He grinned, looking up at him, then over to his grandmother who was a little shorter than himself. He hugged her, "Oh... I just never thought I'd see the day you would be going Drake..." His grandmother said, choking back tears slightly. "Neither did I..." he replied, pulling back from the hug slowly. "I'll miss both of you..." He smiled at them faintly before his grandfather shook his hand for a good five seconds before wrapping him up in a hug one last time. "We'll miss you too..." He added before ruffling Drakes hair, shaking his head slightly when it fell back into place like nothing happened. Blackjack hooted excitedly as if he knew where they were going, which jogged Drakes mind back to when he was there to do. Drake pushed his cart up and a few guys took his things, putting them on the train. Drake picked up a small satchel and Blackjack's cage, hopping up the steps to the train. He walked past one where he heard a girl asking another if she could sit with her, then another with another boy in it who also had an owl. He walked up a few more compartments and they were full, one with a group of girls and one guy who seemed to be losing his mind in there, then another with a few people who weren't saying a word to each other by the looks of it. He walked backward, going back to the compartment that had the one boy in it. He opened the door, looking at the boy before he entered, "These seats taken...?" He asked, just to be polite, he might already have some people sitting with him.

Faye Starr was walking through the train station slowly with her possessions on one of those small trolleys, the annoying ones with a faulty wheel that seemed to take her in any direction but the one she wanted to go on. She had dreamed of this day to come, but she was incredibly nervous. Not only for herself, but for her parents. What if something happened to them while she was away at Hogwarts, how was she to find out about it? A cringe fled through her at the thought as she glanced back to look at her parents. They were normal-looking, not wearing anything that stood out, not really anyway. Her mother was wearing a grey sweatshirt with blue jeans and her father wearing just about the same attire, minus the sweatshirt and instead a pale blue t-shirt.
A sigh left her as she waved goodbye, never liking those goodbyes that she had to speak with people. Goodbye always seemed so permanent, so long lasting. She preferred the distant, waving types so that no one got a chance to get blubberish around her. As she stepped through platform 9 and three quarters, the first thing she saw was the train. It was just so...unlike what she had imagined it to be. Large, and it had this feel about it that made her skin tingle. A small smile suddenly spread across her lips as she noticed people getting aboard. Faye inhaled deeply and glanced about before making her own way up to the train. Naturally she was hesitant to get aboard herself, unsure if she wanted to head to a new place. But someone behind her apparently made the decision for her, because a female shoved her inside and the men took everything she had besides the cage in which her cat was inside. "Now, there's nothing to be nervous about. You're just on a very...very large train with no one you know. Just, make friends, you know, throw yourself out there. Right, Ember?" She asked, bringing the cage up that held the orange tabby cat. He purred at her in response, but Faye shook her head. "You were not suppose to agree, you silly cat." Her teeth caught her lower lip as her brows furrowed in a look of something between desperation and extremely uncomfortable. She carried herself down the isle, looking in rooms to find the right place to sit. No one appeared too friendly for her, though. This was completely nerve-wracking.

Akasuki Machima was nervous.. very very very very nervous. While some children had butterflies she could not help but feel she had more like Peacocks running around in her stomach and that did not feel good. Already she was a very shy person, this going to a new school, being one of two-she thought she saw another asain girl- of her race, surronded by people of all sorts of heights races personalities.
Owls Hooted, cats meowed and puured and toads were croaking. Yes those peacocks were haveing a track meet in her stomach. She looked up at her parents pleadingly, they hugged her and talked to her soothingly in japanese. "..Akasuki dont worry everyone here is nice no one is going to hurt you we talked about this.." They talked a little while longer and she looked over at the train as many of the children said goodbye to thier parents. Everyone there was new she was sure alot of them were nervous that was thing she could see in common with the rest of them, one thing that she could use. She smiled at her parents giveing them a hug and a kiss, she went inside carrying her things with her owl Chika sleeping quietly in its cage. Some people took her bags and she didnt look back as she walked in. Naturally she walked toward the back of the train to try and get away from people. On her way up the hall she walked by another girl lowering her eyes as she stepped past. She arrived at the back cabin. She saw in there that one asain girl from before. Akasuki looked at her a bit suprised and spoke to her in quiet japanese, "..h-hello.. may I sit in here?" being as shy as she was, she didnt care if the fact was she could sit there, but the last thing she needed and sitting somewhere with a very arkward silence. She just noticed the other girl sitting already with the tie on, "..hello." she said in english to her.

(I'm going to go ahead and post to get it going, for the people that havent made intro's yet...feel free to just jump in whenever. ^_^ )) "Oh, I'm sorry..." she commented friendlily. "...is it alright if I sit here?" Through midnight blue eyes she had been watching the girl putting up her things and speaking to herself. Zippers had woken up almost as soon as he sensed another bird in the room, and he peered out at the hawk with abnormally wide eyes…even for an owl. How was he supposed to fly and deliver letters when a hawk big enough to eat him was out doing the same thing!? “No, not taken.” She obviously was from another country, but considering that she only had a summer to learn an entire language…she was doing fairly well. It seemed like the back cabin was a popular spot after all. Or at least, that’s where everyone figured they could get away from the crowd. Well, they thought wrong. Another girl stepped in, and Kim smiled a bit when she found that she was a fellow Japanese. Or at least, she spoke Japanese. "..h-hello.. may I sit in here?" “Yes, there is room.” She answered, in English so that the other girl could understand. She was already breaking out of her shyness. The last thing she wanted was for someone to think she was snobby, if she exclusively spoke to another in a different language. There was a magical aura through the entire train, something she had never experienced before. Not even in her parent’s house. She figured that it was from all of the magical students entering the train and being packed together. Inside her back pocket was her wand. Over the summer she had broken a few rules, and used it even though it wasn’t allowed. She had wanted to get a head start on the studies, and over the summer she had succeeded in finishing the entire first years book. Specifically made for her, the wand was made of red wood and an array of ingredients all mixed to make the magic within. “How do we know what house we will be in?” Yes, she dared to ask the English girl the question that had been burning inside of her ever since she saw that yellow and black tie. She had failed to ask her parents, and now she felt as if it was a dumb question. Did you get to pick? Or did someone pick for you?

Thomas thought of his wand as he leaned back and looked outside the window. The train looked like it would start any second now. "Willow and chimaera scales," he thought to himself. He looked forward to start classes already. His parents always told Thomas that he would do great in defense against the dark arts, and that motivated Thomas to do his best there. "Hogwarts, wonder what house I'll be in. I want to be in Gryffindor," he thought. He always had been a little frightened by the thought that he could end up in Slytherin. He really didn't want to. He had heard from his parents that Hogwarts was an amazing place with moving stairs and talking paintings. Thomas always got exited when he heard about it. He started thinking about the teachers. "I hope they are not to strict," he thought to himself as he sighed.
He looked at Lyra which seemed to be very tired, and to think of it, he was very tired to. He continued looking outside the window when suddenly the compartment door opened. A boy, his age stood outside. The boy was tall, higher than Thomas. He had blue eyes and blond hair. "These seats taken...?" the boy said to him. Thomas looked at him nervous and abit shy. "No they are not taken. You are welcome to sit down," Thomas said smiling. Thomas looked at the boy and wondered if he looked as forward to going to Hogwarts as Thomas did. "He seems to be very nice though, even though he is much taller than me. Who knows, maybe we can be friends," he thought to himself as he still looked at him
