A semi-open world RP set in the Harry Potter universe, in the 30's when Tom Riddle was at school. Year one starts in 1938. In this roleplay you can take classes, learn new spells and make new best friends. It's up to you if you follow the rules strictly or if you want to explore and bend them a little.

Hogwarts is everything you expected it to be and more. You can hardly wait for the year to begin, to start an adventure of your own. Tales you've heard about the secrets yet to be uncovered. It's all you can do to not let excitement spill over.

However, for some, trouble calls them and soon they uncover some of Hogwarts most guarded secrets. Why are students going missing? Isn’t Hogwarts the safest place in the Wizarding world? And why does that Slytherin boy seem so suspicious?

Your characters will embark on uncovering and solving the mystery, as well as living in the Hogwarts universe. I ask that you make your characters either first years or second years. A deep knowledge of the world isn't required as I will provide extra information for those who want it. This is a casual roleplay so I don’t expect tons and tons of writing, just a paragraph or two. If you have any questions about anything, then feel free to ask me.

Rowena is not considered a beauty with many having said that her mouth is a little too wide and too prominent a chin but most agree that she is pretty, particularly when she smiles. Her smiles seem to light up the whole of her heart shaped face and giving warmth to her pale grey eyes. She is pale and as she is prone to sunburn she avoids prolonged sunshine never gaining a tan, she has rosy cheeks particularly when she smiles and also blushes easily.

Personality:

Rowena is usually described as cheerful sometimes to the point of irritating, she is the person who is wide awake first thing and far too chirpy with it. She is a bubbly character who seems to see the world with eternal optimism and always tries to see the good in any situation and the people around her. Perhaps her biggest flaw is how easily she trusts others. She finds it very difficult to be unpleasant or nasty to others doesn't understand why others are. Because of this she takes others at face value and doesn't hesitate to trust them.

Rowena isn't shy and has always been able to talk to other people easily even if they are strangers to her. She is without doubt a chatterbox and has a habit of talking too much and too quickly, especially when excited, and her friends often nicely tell her to slow down or be quiet. She doesn't like uncomfortable silences and will often fill them with chatter yet, perhaps surprisingly to those who don't know her, she likes her own company and can often be found alone reading or writing.

Rowena doesn't like conflict or confrontation and does her best to avoid such situations by trying to please those around her. She finds it difficult to say no for fear of upsetting someone and has often been taken for granted in the past because of this. Growing up her twin brother Robbie would often be the firm one refusing on her behalf as he knew how hard she found it. Rowena wears her heart on her sleeve with her emotions easy to see on her face and so is a very bad liar. Between the blushing and feeling guilty she is usually caught out very quickly and so tries to avoid lying where possible.

Oliver has one older sibling, Madeline, who is a sixth year in Ravenclaw. They get along fine, but they are not very close.
Oliver is boring – or so the other kids tell him. A little too mature for his age, Oliver prefers to sit quietly with a book rather than run around with the other children his age. Oliver longs for friends, although he will never admit it. Making friends can be difficult, however, when you have a sharp tongue.

To escape his loneliness, Oliver tends to bury himself in his school work. He is smart, though not uniquely so, and most of his success in school comes from hard work rather than innate intelligence. Oliver suspects this is why he wasn’t sorted into Ravenclaw with the rest of his family. In truth, Oliver was likely sorted into Slytherin for his ambition. He is not the type to stand idly by when an opportunity presents itself.
Best: Potions
Worst: Flying
Potions and Dueling
