Associations of Witches and Wizards have been done before, especially when to fight against injustice in Medieval Times. Dark or Good Witches? One will never know. Once again the need of an Aquelarre (Spanish term for Witches Sabbath) is needed, much alike an Order of the Phoenix. When the Ministry, the Aurors and the Hogwarts authorities won't help and even keeps information away.... The youngsters might act.

This is a Advanced RPG which consist in various scenarios. The first is the start of the mysteries that you should solve: The disappearance of Draco Mafloy. This takes place during Harry's 7th year.

Both cannon and original characters will be allowed, WITH certain restrictions. You all are still students so NONE of you should have any incredible powerful abilities (i.e. you can't be a metamorphmagi, animagi, legillimence AND parceltongue; not all of them, but maybe a couple). I will allow each of you to have some kind of especial ability/artifact/number of spells if you want, but not all of them please.

Also, and here's where the thing gets interesting: each character, even if cannon, MUST have a mystery of their own. At the end of each scene (or the end of the RPG, if there's still not that many clues) we will make guesses on what was the answer. One guess per scene, please. Also, try to make the mysteries difficult but real, even the past of a character can be the mysery.

So, back to the first scene. Draco Mafloy disappeared at the dead of the night, in the Slytherin Commons Rooms. Auror barely could find track of what was there, only three witnesses were their source. The thing is, the three witnesses had very different versions of the facts, which makes this even more suspicious:

- Witness one: Changed their mind. They were the first to see it, it seems. Later they would be seen running away from the Commons to the outer Corridors screaming "A monster! A monster!"... but then, when looking for them again and ask them for the whole story, they would say it never happened; can't remember anything.

- Witness Two: This witness could give a complete description. They seem to find the creature repulsive. Humaniod and dark hairy. The most close guess to that description refers to a half-bird creature, which makes sense since it was found a hole in the floor which could have been made by a piercing object (claws). No sign of feathers, though.

- Witness Three: "An hibrid or some sort", they described it. Dragon like, so it might have been a chimaera. It also tells that it stinked. It seemed the most confident on their description.

I'll be playing Theodore Nott, the first witness*. He is a Slytherin from the same year as Draco. He had grown somewhat close though the last couple of days, seeing they both have Dead Eaters fathers in prison.

Characters:
Harry Potter --> Destiny Fate Melantha (sub. Hermione04)
Ron Weasley --> Backslash
Hermione Granger --> Hermione_Loves_Ron
Ginny Weasley --> lightstar1154
Luna Lovegood --> Arkee Maldemer
Neville Longbottom --> Meandering
Gideon Adams --> Backslash
Marissa ("X") --> stardancer488
Destiny Fate Artemis Melantha --> Destiny Fate Melantha
Astrid Thomas --> Hermione_298
Theodore Nott --> She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! (just call me Nadia)

(Originals, please post your info in here: appearance and house is enough)

EDIT: I want to make an acclaration seeing I could have been not too clear on it: You can use every other character which is not currently being played/used by another RPGer. Only obvious observation is not to contradict ourselves so not to cause fights (=P) but other than that, do use all of the characters that you deem needed to perform your little subplot of the RPG (your personal mystery)

STARTS: October 27 (A Week From Now)

CHAPTER ONE: Malfoy Disappears.
Scene: Slytherin Commons.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-03-2004, 04:39 AM

Great, Dramma Queen Potter to stand now, his thoughts whinned. Why didn't he stayed in the shadows enough for the people to ignore him?

He stepped out from the corner he had recently 'disappeared from' and stared, not looking particularly concerned. "You are talking to me, Potter, though I don't remember talking to you."

Not up have another round of pitiful accussations thrown at him, Nott turnd and without another world did indeed disappear from the place, down the dungeons and to the Commons. He had to retrieve his things before History of Magic.

ooc: remember - Potion and CoMC is double with Gryffindors+Slytherin, Herbology is Gryffindor+Hufflepuffs, DADA is double too but I don't know with whom, so we are saying its with Ravenclaw. The rest, you can invent. (HoM probably NOT G+S...)

Reincarnation Jones · 12-05-2004, 04:01 PM

Harry watched Nott walk away from him, grateful for his retreat, at last. He shook his head and sunk down to the floor, placing his head in his hands. "I am so tired of this," he emphasized, half to Ron and half to himself. "I'm sick of all of it. What am I supposed to be doing? Everyone's counting on me to act a certain way but no on will bloody tell me what it is!"

stardancer488 · 12-05-2004, 04:18 PM

Marissa went back to her common room and grabbed her charmed books. And quickly slid some parchment, and ink into her bookbag and ran out of the dorm, she was already running late, and she couldn't afford to lost any points. She walked won the corridor and the door came into view. She took a step into the classroom to see about ten people already seated. She took a seat in the middle of the classroom, and took out her books and looked around, she didn't see anyone she was really friends with. So she just sat back and waited for the class to begin...

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-06-2004, 09:50 AM

Nott looked everywhere inside the commons, in his room, everywhere! He had managed to take all of his things but he still missed the most important item...

Where in Grindewald's name was his wand!

He pratically trashed the Commons in search for said item, maddening for him. Finally putting the couch pillow down again, he stopped. And breathed. And raged and punched the pillow. Great, just great! Now it was going around the place without a wand. Again, where in the name was it! It couldn't have *walked* alone, sure thing.

Shaking his head he razoned that it was not possible and looking, for the 5th time, undre the same couch. He also considered that it was History of Magic first, that which he needed no wand. Pausing and later sighing loudly, he stood, took her books and fled from the place, to HoM.

ooc: I want to make an acclaration seeing I could have been not too clear on it: You can use every other character which is not currently being played/used by another RPGer. Hence me using, say, Dumbledore and Fudge and Nott. You can use Dumbly and Fudge too

Only obvious observation is not to contradict ourselves so not to cause fights (=P) but other than that, do use all of the characters that you deem needed to perform your little subplot of the RPG (your personal mystery)

Backslash · 12-06-2004, 08:32 PM

Ron simply stared at Harry, at a loss as to what to do. He hadn't been right since the end of last term, but nobody, not even Ron or Hermione, were about to approach him on it. Hermione said it was best to let Harry bring it up first, and not to press him for information. Ron ended up sitting on the floor next to Harry, legs crossed.

"I donno, Harry...I guess it's all up to instinct. If it'll cheer you up tho', Malfoy's been kidnapped, so he can't cause any grief until anyone figures out why. Wish Dumbledore would've said something..."

Reincarnation Jones · 12-06-2004, 09:43 PM

Harry looking up at his friend and said, slowly, "Normally, Ron, that would be a rather enjoyable thought but since...Sirius," he said, the name tasting bitter in his mouth, "no one deserves anything like that. Even Malfoy. I would do what I can to help if Dumbledore and Fudge weren't watching me like a pair of starved hawks," he said, sighing slightly.

Backslash · 12-08-2004, 12:35 AM

"Mmm..." Ron said, more out of thought than anything. "I donno, Harry. Dumbledore and Fudge seem a bit uptight about the whole thing...and the only one I know who might be of any help is Nott, and well, you've met him." Ron feverently wished he could seize the Slytherin boy and knock some answers out of him.

Reincarnation Jones · 12-08-2004, 02:26 AM

Harry shook her head aggrivatedly. "Nott doesn't know anything. That's why he's picking fights all of a sudden. It's what Muggles call a psychological reflection and it's difficult to explain. Either way, Nott can't help us at all. What we need to do is to go back into the Slytherin common room and look for clues. We need to question absolutely everybody the Aurors did, too. They may be more willing to talk to a student than to a Ministry official. Especially since most of their father's are running from those particular people," Harry added, determined now to... dare he think it?... save Malfoy...

Backslash · 12-08-2004, 03:34 AM

"One problem, tho'," Ron said. "We're Gryffindors. And that's an alarm to every Slytherin a mile away when we start asking questions. Unless--you don't suppose there's time to do that...you know, that thing we did to get to Malfoy in our second year? Reckon Hermione remembers how?"

Reincarnation Jones · 12-08-2004, 04:10 AM

"There's no harm in asking her," Harry said, with a sigh. "No matter what, though, I've got to find a way. I have a feeling this isn't some stunt of his father's either. I don't know what it is... a cold chill, I guess. Something doesn't feel right." He stood up slowly and with a grunt. "Let's go ask, then."

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-09-2004, 09:41 AM

Nott was only climbing the set of stair to the ground floor to the HoM classroom and over the new set when noticing a rather strange scene. He continued to move forwards, not looking where he was going when stumbling into somebody-

Backslash · 12-10-2004, 06:11 PM

"Oi, watch it," Gideon grunted after being plowed into once again by Nott. "'ey, you're that same bloke who crashed into me in the Sytherin common!"

Gideon had absolutely nothing to do with the aformentioned 'scene', but there was already a crowd gathering. He'd just returned from being throughly chewed up by Professor McGonagall, in better humour actually than before. He eyed Nott cautiously, with a mischevious grin on his face.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-11-2004, 05:17 AM

Nott, winded by the crash and somewhat confused, said, "Yeah," not sure what he was agreeing with. He rubbed on her head, having suffered some dizzing from the bumping and only then registered the boy's words, "I mean, no... what are you talking about? I don't think we met." That last part Nott didn't prettend to said it out loud.

Backslash · 12-12-2004, 02:38 AM

Gideon cocked his head to one side but said nothing in reply to that, instead looking off to the growing crowd of students. "What d'you suppose it is now?" He asked Nott before looking back at him and grabbing him by the shoulder eagerly. "Let's go find out, now shall we?"

Hermione_loves_Ron · 12-12-2004, 04:51 AM

Mind if someone catches me up on what I've missed? My computer wigged out on me.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-12-2004, 12:32 PM

ooc: sure^^ After Draco's disappearance (a.k.a. attack in the Slytherin Commons, there are three witness with very different recounts of facts, the place is croweded by Aurors and at the Great Hall Dumbledore refuses to aknowledge there's something wrong going on), Dumbledore closes himself in his office to talk with Fudge, Destiny just outside; Gideon makes a raquet in the GreatHall; Marissa and Nott atempts a conversation and fail; Harry and Ron are planning to sneak into the Slytherin Commons and ask Hermione for help; Gideon is pulling Nott somewhere... (Re-reading the thread: "blinking bludgers"... hilarious)
Blast it we don't have separated threads for the different places, hehe.

"- you understand, that with the elections nearing."

Once the door has closed, the rest of the conversation was indeed, private. When Dumbledore and Fudge finally left the office, both were surprised to find the girl, Destiny, had not left. Fudge looked to be mutely asking for some kind of explanation with his gestures while Dumbledore, if only momentarily, had this spark in his eyes.

"Destiny," he called, leaning over as if to shake the girl awake, not that was needed, and smiled almost humored. "I must thank your patience to attend me and appologize for my delay - Fudge, if you're so kind to wait for me, I will escort you to the Entrance once I meet my appointment with Miss Melantha. I am sure you understand I cannot make her wait further and you can show the same kind of patience Destiny has shown, can you?"

Without further saying, Fudge gaping like a fish out of water, Dumbledore lead Tiny to the interior of his office before the Minister could attempt a complain. Left with nothing to do but wait, awkwardly, Fudge sat in the same couch Tiny had been minutes before, and, of course, waited.

Still rubbing his head, Nott raised one eyebrow to the Ravenclaw student and turned to where he was looking, "What's what?" he asked and before even getting an answer he was dragged by the arm and over this place -

"What --No, wait, I have classes, I can't stay--" he tried to stop the over-enthusiastic Ravenclaw but only stumbled on his own feet and reached, without a say on it, where the crowd was gathering.

When reaching this end it was quite plain what was happening. Only the Aurors telling students off because of something, they would do good not to get in the middle. On the other hand, what about? The Entrance of the Castle was being closed by a couple of busy aurors while a third waves a piece of parchement in his hand while yelling on random students. Some of the students outside were being pushed inside by said aurors and, alas, the last to come out was no other than a ruffled looking Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid. If there was anything particularly strange in him was that Hagrid was not looking particularly offended by the Auror's rude ways. He seemed troubled by his own mind.

In other part of the castle, the Aurors were too guarding Moaning Myrtle's toilet, to the later's frutration.

Backslash · 12-13-2004, 07:36 PM

"Do they have clearance for that?" Gideon asked nobody in particular. "Wha's this about now, Sirius Black or those Death Eaters on th' loose again?

Ron was steering Harry back into the Great Hall to aske Hermione about the Polyjuice Potion--actually he doubted it would work, and already he saw Hermione saying something like "honestly, it takes time!"--when he noticed Hagrid at the entrance of the castle, not to mention a good number of curious students and several harrassed Aurors.

"What now?" Ron muttered, and in a louder voice, "Hagrid! Hey, Hagrid! What's going on?"

Hermione_loves_Ron · 12-13-2004, 10:21 PM

Okies, thanks ^.^

Reincarnation Jones · 12-14-2004, 02:24 AM

Tinny scowled with intensity beyond her age at Fudge as Dumbledore led her into his office while Fudge waited outside. When the Headmaster had seated himself, she began talk...and didn't stop.

"Listen. First of all, I didn't do anything wrong. Am I Head Girl around here or not? I mean, if I don't patrol the halls at night, anything could happen, right? Well, I couldn't sleep at all, so I took a night patrol like I'm supposed to like three times a week. And it was a school night, too, so lots of things happen on school nights that pull students from their beds, right? Well, I mean, I didn't do anything wrong, and, well, I was just doing my job, like you asked me to do by owl during the summer, right? Well, I couldn't sleep, so I got out of bed and slipped on a robe and my badge and a hat and some gloves because it's been getting colder, right? Well, I got out of the common room and the lady in the entrance portrait yelled at me for waking her up, but I said I was sorry and kept walking, okay? So, I got through the whole Gryffindor wing without any trouble, but I take turns with the Head Boy for the patrols at night, right, and I wasn't even close to tired, so I took the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff wings, too. And, since I'd done the first three and I still wasn't tired, I decided to take the Slytherin wing, too. So, I got down to the Slytherin wing and everything was going exactly like normal, with nothing particularly spactacular going on and..." Up until this point, all of her words had strung together like one, long sentence. Now, however, she froze, seemingly unable to finished her thought. Having paced in front of Dumbledore's desk for the whole speech, she collapsed into a chair and sobbed, "I couldn't tell them, Professor. I couldn't trust the Aurors. I should've told them. I... I should've..."

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-14-2004, 12:51 PM

"Do they have what?" Nott asked half heartly. He wasn't paying attention but trying to get a glimpace on the parchment on this auror's hand. When the words actually sank, Theo forgot the parchment momentarily and turned to Gideon. "Uh, I suppose so." What else was to say? He turned back at the crowd considering his second question, "I'd bet my galleons it is not Death Eaters - hey, you!"

He was calling for a random student in the crowd. He wouldn't, as would no other student for that matter, hear so Theo started towards the crowd. He tapped on this person's shoulder and asked again, "Hey, what's happening?"

The boy retreated first as if scared of Theo, then looked sideways and said, "They don't let us get out and are taking everyone at break inside again. I also heard they are closing the windows with repelling charms, it's so weird! "

Another kid, a girl, was being interrogated by her friends just besides them. "It was so scary! And what's more, there was some beast's howling in the forbiden forest, you could hear it from the Quidditch Pitch. Something big was moving the threes, I think it was trolls!"

"Eh?" Hadrid turned around to find Harry and Ron approcing him, "Oh, hi, Ron - Harry." Upon hearing Ron's question, Hagrid's bettle-like eyes opened cartoon-like and soon added, "Nothing!" He said a little too suddenly. He turned back at the tumoult and with the clear mess added, "Uh, what, this? Oh, no, don't worry. Nothing to worry... nothing is going on."

He said this but even as he continuously looked back at the Entrance, Hagrid looked nervous (and the recounts coming from the girl a couple of meters ago did not help his story). He tried smiling reassuringly at the young boys but even as he did, the so-to-be smile looked more like a grimace of pain though the thick beard, and quickly looked back at the Entrance again.

The Headmaster watched and listened to young Tiny recount her story, obviously very nervous. She still hadn't given a reason to explain her patrolling. It was true, she was made a prefect, but as such she had as much responsibilities as any other student and was not to stay out of the Common Rooms if it was not her assigned date for patrolling. But then the girl had collapsed on the chair before his and Dumbledore quieted his thought to hear. It was intriguing, this girl's actions, and so Dumbledore let several seconds pass before finally addressing the girl,

"Destiny, I would like to hear your story if you can continue, furthermore I will have to ask you to. Any information can come in handy in these times of needs, I am sure you know. I am glad you came to me to inform me better. Now please continue and I promise to listen attentively."

Reincarnation Jones · 12-14-2004, 07:28 PM

Tinny scowled at her shoes slightly and, instead of answering straightaway, said, "I was going to do what I could I swear. I was going to go to the library and look up the details so that I could make sense of it. I... I didn't see anything, but...what I heard." She paused and shivered violently, a sudden chill overtaking her. "I heard the unGodliest screech I've ever heard in my entire life. It... it was some kind of animal, I'm sure. It didn't sound like it could possibly have come from a human. It was like... like something between a dying Hippogriff and a raven's wail. There's no other way to describe it except... When I heard it, I felt like... I think that I... I... died."

Backslash · 12-14-2004, 08:06 PM

"Howling?" Gideon asked with interest. "Something big, eh? Repelling charms..." The boy fell into a thoughtful frown, eyebrows raised. The Ravenclaw part of his brain was beginning to turn, expecially because Hagrid looked worried--how can the same gamekeeper who made them look at Blast Ended Skewts and like them possibly be worried? Was some pinky fuzzy ball of doom threatening Hogwarts then? All the Aurors were acting up too...

"Time to use some of the ol' Gideon charm," he murmured to himself, pressing forward in the crowd to the Auror who was waving the parchment around. "'Scuze me sir, it's my cat, he's wandrin' around outside and I've got to get 'im, please let me out," Gideon said with genuine desperation written on his puppy-eyed face, and when the Auror yelled at him to get back, he flung himself onto the front of the Auror's robes. "Pleeese, I can't leave 'im outside! He's only a baby! He'll diiie!" He bawled loudly, completely without self-control, whist the students stared at him.

"Nothing eh, Hagrid?" Ron said, knowing Hagrid well enough to see through his cover up, and hearing a girl nearby dish out some gossip added, "what's howling in the forest? Is it Fluffy, maybe?" Well it sure as heck wasn't, but if Ron was right, then whatever he saw last night was still in the Forbidden Forest...wasn't Hermione coming out? She should be able to figure out head and tail of Hagrid's claim.

Just then a Ravenclaw boy threw himself on the Auror with the parchment in his (her?) hand, bawling someting about his cat. "What the--" Ron muttered in astonishment.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 12-14-2004, 10:00 PM

I think I shall take this moment to jump back into the RP ^.^

Hermione finally ambled out of the Girls Dorm, dressed in her school robes. It'd taken her a bit to find them, she realized that they'd been packed away in the back of her dressar. So much for organizational Hermione....

She strolled down the halls of the school, not feeling particularly hungry, but even so, ducking into the Great Hall. She scanned the Gryffindor Table and as she approached it, saw that neither Ron nor Harry was there. Grabbing a bagel, she asked one of the fourth year girls if she'd seen the boys.

"I believe I saw Weasley heading out side," she replied with a helpless shrug. "Don't know if Potter was with him or not."

Hermione nodded and headed back for the doors of the Great Hall, and out the Entrance of the school. Hagrid's hut. If they were anywhere, thats where they'd be.

stardancer488 · 12-14-2004, 11:15 PM

Marissa walked down the corridor, looking around, people here and there, talking, yelling, scheming, all normal. But still tension stood in the air. The tension she didn't like, yes she was no professor at divination or anything of that matter, but still something just seemed wrong. She really had no comment to it though. Well even if she did, would people actually hear her voice? Not like anyone wanted to listen to a pointless speech of exactly why she thought everyone was in danger or anything? Who would listen to a random student who had never spoken up in her life?

She continued to walk down the corridor, glancing here and there at the groups of students talking... she pasued as two people caught her eye and just stared in a rather poor manner and listened in...

ooc- yeah sorry this doesn't go with my last post, but the plot took a turn so I had to randomly jump back in and this was the best time I could do it, sorry

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 12-15-2004, 03:02 AM

ooc- dont' worry^^ I made a jump myself, I wanted to speed up things a little.

Dumbledore's eyebrows rose when hearing the last part of Destiny's tale.

"But you are not dead, you are alive," he stated without need. "For your description I know of only one creature capable of it, and I guess you realize it is not possible... Destiny, you wouldn't be alive if that was the case." He levitated a handchief towards Tiny's way. "Please continue."

"I will not make further judgements," he paused as he pressed the tips of his fingers together, "but I would rather listen what else you can tell me, or your theories before I give mine."

The Auror grimaced at the boy's dangling from his robes, looking helplessly at his companion for help. Receiving nothing but mocking laughter from the other aurors, the auror struggled alone against this boy's grip until pushing Gideon away -

"Boy-- boy! Let go," he barked, "No, you CAN'T go out. Get inside to your classes or whatever, NOW. These doors are closed and nobody, absolutely nobody, is to come out, you included - I'm sure your act will be fine."

"Uh, yeh," Hagrid said even more awkwardly. "Silly stuf', nothin' to worrie. Ya 'now Aurors. Jus' makin' sure - not that ther' was somethin' to find! Jus' -" He paused, and did a quick wave gesturing 'no-no' knowing better than to keep speaking. "Stuff, silly stuf'. Er, shouldn' you be in class?"

One incredulous Nott watched, one eyebrow raised, while the Ravenclaw from before plugged himself over this Auror. He didn't know what to think of this scene... other than this guy wasn't really someone to feel embarrassed often by the look of it. Theo actually felt like laughing, maybe, but then again his attempts were, to no one surprise, futile. What was the use of it?

He felt like he was being watched, Theo did, but even turning he spotted no one in the nearby looking his way and disregard it as nothing.
