A few years back, there was a very sucessful PR called Hogwarts is Still High School. It spawned an entirely new site, which is still running, but was for more mature content that was unwelcome here. But I felt the need to resurrect this beloved RP, but bring a new spin on it... And if you were part of the origional, please, please rejoin. We all need a reunion, because it has been too long.

Hogwarts Is Still Highschool...

Relationships, love, and lies. Homework, classes, and professors. It's all part of a regular highschool, is it not? But look around, isn't it all the same here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? I do believe it is.

We all grow, and learn many things from school. Be it how to lie to get out of a late assignment, or how to attract the pretty girl in your potions class. And thats where our story begins...

This RP takes place long after the famous trio has left the school. Years infact. Their children are still here, 6th years infact. But new faces have appeared. The Tuck twins out of Wales have been known to be the musical masterminds, and resident heartbreakers. And Jay Kelley, Quidditch fanatic spends his days on the pitch, getting ready for his next match.

You're a regular student, and a not so regular school. And you go about your not totally regular day, doing completely irregular things. Get up, go to breakfast, go to class, chase the guy or girl of your dreams... and be a teenager. After all, this is still highschool.

Lex nodded and watched as he went up to his dorm. She sat there for a little while longer trying to decide whether or not she should go to the music room and try to talk to Matt. Finally making up her mind, Lex stood up and walked to the music room. She was about to go in when she hear Matt talking and peeked in to see him talking to Jay. She decided to stay outside of the room until either Jay left or Matt did so that she could talk to him in private.

J.Rigdon · 08-03-2010, 02:51 AM

" It is weird for you about as weird as it is us actually having this conversation." Jay admitted. Sudden he realized he couldn't even remember what it was that had caused his friendship with Matt to actually end. Well neither of us ever really do what is expected do we?" he asked he looked towards the door in time to see it close." wonder who that was?" he asked.

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 02:56 AM

Matt looked up as well, laughing a bit at Jay's comment. It was the truth, looking at what had gone on in the past few months. He was dating a gryffindor, and Jay had left Meg. He heard the door click, and he glanced over at it. "It's open." He called, wondering who it was out there. Kyle would have come right in. Perhaps it was Vic, and she didn't want to intrude on their conversation. "Come on in."

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 03:02 AM

Lex heard the two talk a little bit more until she heard Matt say 'come in.' She swiftly opened the door and walked into the room before one had a chance to do or say anything. "Hey Jay," she said, acknowledging the boy. "Do you mind if you give us some privacy?" she asked him.

Then she turned to Matt and added quickly, "I just want to talk. I promise I'm not here to purposely cause trouble."

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 03:07 AM

Matt nodded to Jay that it was alright, and he'd be fine alone with her. "Alright." He said, already starting to feel himself shake again. His voice was wavering, which was never a good sign. The last time they'd talk, he'd disolved into tears, which was completely out of character for him. He swallowed thickly and stood from his chair, forgetting to put the ring back in his pocket. "You've got five minutes." He said slowly.

J.Rigdon · 08-03-2010, 03:11 AM

jay continued to look towards the door and waited a moment it looked as though who ever it was either didnt hear or had already wondered off he looked back at Matt his thoughts took a different turn he found himself to curious not to ask. " Has Vic mentioned anything about Alyss and Al? they were hanging out to-" he was unable to hide the slightly jealouis edge to his tone as he started but his question was quickly cut off when Lex walked in and spoke. He wasn't to thrilled with the interruption but it wasnt worth making a scene over either. " Nevermind, not important maybe another time."Jay stood up shooting a geez thanks sort of glance at Lex before he walked towards the door. " See ya round Tuck." Jay said before he went out the door.

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 03:14 AM

Lex watched as Jay left and turned back to Matt. She could tell his voice was wavering and felt slightly guilty knowing she was the cause of it. "Look Matt, I don't want to cause anymore trouble for you, but I wanted to actually ralk about what happened between us," she said. "And I know you don't want to, but you can't keep ignoring me and this conversation."

princess of*hp* · 08-03-2010, 03:20 AM

Victoire put the finishing touches on what seemed like her miles-long potions essay about the differences and similarities between two of the most advanced potions known to wizardkind, amortentia and felix felicis. She knew that she could have done a much better job, but did the professors really expect any student beside Rose Weasley to do work when the Yule Ball and the winter holidays were right around the corridor? Capping her ink bottle, stuffing her quill and essay hurriedly into her bookbag, she stood from her bed and meant to stroll back down to the lower floors of the castle. Someone she knew was bound to be hanging around. Maybe she would try the Great Hall, the Music Room, or the first floor corridor.

Teddy huddled near the fireplace in his office. His efforts to pack for the winter holidays had been futile. He had been lucky enough to be one of the teachers who had gotten off scot free, not having been made to stay and supervise the students who remained at Hogwarts during Christmas and New Years. He rubbed his hands together to create warmth. Hopefully, the Burrow, Harry's house, his grandmother's house, or Shell Cottage would be warmer for the holidays. He had received no word on who would be hosting the festivities.

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 03:24 AM

Matt laughed in disbelief as she spoke, and dragged a hand through his hair. "I said it before Lex. There's nothing to talk about!" He said, looking over at her. "You cheated. You lied about it for months. You broke my heart. What else is there to say, hu?" He shook his head, and paced infront of the couch. He knew she was right, there was something left to talk about. He needed to know the truth about why she'd done what she had. That was something he'd never found out. All he'd ever heard was that she was sorry, and that she loved him, and wanted him back.

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 03:33 AM

"That isn't all there is to say!" she snapped. "You know it isn't! You are just to stubborn to admit it. You never listen to what I have to say about the whole situation." Lex glared at Matt before pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "You can't honestly look me in the eye and tell me that you never wanted to know why it happened or why I didn't tell you. I know you too well to know that you are lying if you say that's all there is to it."

princess of*hp* · 08-03-2010, 03:55 AM

Victoire had made her way to the lower floors and noticed Jay, his stoic look on his face. So he had returned. She had heard the news about his father, but had never really spoken to him and didn't want to make him feel awkward. Besides, would Rigdon ever deign to talk to a Weasley, even though she was dating a Tuck? This was the time to find out. "Hey Jay," She smiled softly and rose a hand in greeting. "Nice to see you back."

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 04:03 AM

Matt turned his back to her as he spoke, so she didn't see the tears in his eyes. She was right on the money. He wanted to know why because it would give him closure. But he knew if he heard the words 'because I didn't love you anymore', he'd lose it and break down. And he had a feeling that was the reason why. He turned to her and placed his hands on his hips, pacing still. "Do you know what you did to me?" He asked, voice wavering still, this time out of sadness as apposed to anger. "Did you even care when I ended up in the hospital for a week because of you?" He took several deep breaths. "Yeah, I wanted to know why, even though there isn't an excuse in the book that constitutes cheating." He flopped down on the couch again and dragged his hands down his face. "What do you want from me?"

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 04:23 AM

Lex felt horrible when Matt told her that he had ended up in the hospital because of something she had done. How can you look at a person that you've loved for so long that you cheated because you were scared off what you were feeling? Especially after hearing wat she put him through. She watched as he went to the couch again and debated whether or not he would let her get any closer than she already was. Willing to take the risk, she crouched down next to the couch and began to explain herself.

"When we first started going out I was more excited than anything, and that's including getting the lead role to any play we've done or hitting one of the highest and hardest notes that most people can't even do," she started. "But then you were so nice to me and showed me what it was to love and be loved. I started to feel bad because it felt as if you were putting more effort and emotions into this relationship than I was, so when Ian started showing me attention I started to flirt back because I knew that it wouldn't lead to anything serious. Then one night things got too out of hand, and we promised never to bring it up because whether or not you want to believe it, I loved you and didn't want to hurt you anymore than I already knew I had." She sighed as she shakily ran a hand through her hair. This was a lot harder than she expected it to be. "So I lied to you about everthing thinking that one dy I wouldn't feel so guilty whenever I looked at you, but before I ever got the nerve to tell you Ian already did."

She knew it wasn't the smartest ofthings for her to do, but she took his hand in hers and squeezed it gently. "I swear Matt, I never meant to hurt you," she told him as a few tears ran down her face.

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 04:40 AM

Matt was shaking uncontrolably by now. The words coming from her mouth were sincere, he knew that much. And hearing that she felt like she wasn't putting any effort into their relationship cut deeper than any knife ever would. But as her hand touched his, he felt himself breaking. He tore it from hers and stood again. "Then you never should have done what you did!" He said softly, tears threatening to flow down his face. "You lied to me once, and I believed you. So how can I be so sure you aren't this time? I couldn't trust anymore after you. I couldn't feel anything. I was completely numb to everything and everyone around me." He swallowed thickly again, fighting as hard as he could against the tears. He wasn't going to let her see him break down like this.

"I was a mess after you left. I didn't care about myself, I didn't care what my actions did to other people. And I'm sure you heard my reputation floating around. That was because of you." He sighed. "Until Victorie came along, I didn't want anything to do with another relationship. I didn't want anything to do with a family, or marriage, or anything that had to do with trust and loyalty. But she..." His voice cracked, as he glance to the ring behind her on the table. "She showed me that not everyone is as stupid as you are. She brought the old me back. I hated the person I was, because of you, and you're selfishness. But you know what? I'm over you." As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he was a liar this time. "I'm over you, and I'm in love with Victorie."

He closed his eyes and felt a tear slide down his cheek. "Look behind you." He said, nodding towards the table. "Thats for her. Because I love her more then life, more then music even. I'd do anything for her... I'd die for her. And I don't want to leave her, and I know she won't leave me either. So you have to back off before I do something stupid like fall for you again." He opened his eyes and looked at her hard in the eyes, icy blue to acid green. "Because if this keeps happening, I'm goin to. You ruined my life once, isn't that enough?"

"And it was very crucial that they get here today." she then paused. "In all honesty, I think I deserve some sort of award for humanity. I can't believe people actually send owls out in blizzards. I think I'll start a campaign against it. Thanks for your support in the cause." she said as she headed for the door. The chances of actually getting away with just changing the subject once where quite slim, but if done enough times perhaps she would forget what they were talking about it the first place. It's worked plenty of times before.

Alyss shrugged. Okay, maybe she had underestimated Jacobsen's arrival time back to her office. But it wasn't like she wasn't able to possible talk her way out of this mess. She had done it time and time again. "We were just retrieving something for the school quidditch teams, Professor," she explained. "It was meant to be a gift from the board of governors. We shouldn't even be talking about it, but...." he added. It was a bit of a stretch and all, but it did sound feasible. She was about to add more, but then caught sight of Meg's movement and tried herself to move toward the door. But no Jacobsen was there before they could get through the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eira listened to both girls and shook her head. Okay, it was possible that it was true they were on business from the board, but she would have to look into that personally. Seeing their intent to escape, she stood from her seat and flicked her wand at the door, sealing it. "Yes, that is very humane of you, Miss Isley." she replied as she motioned for both girls to sit. "And Miss Dewley, an errand for the board, really?" She really didn't think that was possible, if it was true, he would have been informed of it, or at least heard of something. "It is rather terrible outside and you do realize that you both have left the grounds without permission and used the floo network, which I may add is off limits to students. What do you really have to say for yourselves now?"

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 05:15 AM

Lex watched as he moved away from her and couldn't help but feel hurt because of the simple movement. She knew he had every right to want to get away from her, but she wasn't gonna give up just like that. Standing up swiftly, she looked at him and listened to him accuse her of lying this time and how he couldn't feel anymore.

"I'm not lying, Matthew!" she all but shouted. "I know I hurt you! I know I made a horrible mistake, and it was the worst thing I ever did because I hurt you! I hurt the one person I ever truly cared about because I was scared!"

Then when he said that he was over her and in love with Victoire something snapped. As she looked at the box on the table, her stomach twisted up because she could tell he was serious. She knew she should just let him go and be happy with Victoire, but for some reason she couldn't because that would mean letting go of all the good times they had together, something she wasn't willing to do. "I'm not giving up on us Matty," she whispered before slipping out of the room and heading back to the sanctuary that was the Slytherin Common Room.

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 11:30 AM

Matt heard her say she wasn't giving up, even though he'd told her how serious he was about Vic, and it made him even more angry then before. As she left, his blood was boiling. He grabbed the closest object, a vase of somesort, and with a frustrated shout pitched it hard at the stone wall across the room, shattering it into a thousand pieces. He sank down onto the couch and hung his head, burrying his face in his hands. "I can't do this." He whispered to himself, as the tears finally fell from his eyes.

In a way it flattered him that someone cared enough about him not to give up just because he was with someone else. But it made him more angry that she couldn't accept the fact that they were over. Completely over for good. He didn't want anything to do with her anymore. He didn't want to see her face again, or hear her voice. He dragged his hands down his face, taking several deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. But nothing worked against the shaking. His hands trembled as he tried to pick up the ring on the table, clutching it in his fist.

Maybe Jay had been right. Maybe he wasn't ready to commit that much...

Kyle had been in the common room playing piano for a group of first and second years who sat around him in a circle, like he was some fantastic story teller. Several of the girls looked up at him with dreamy expressions, and the boys watched him intently trying to figure out how he got the girls to do that. The common room door opened, and he glance up, seeing Lex comming back in. She was upset, clearly she'd talked to Matt already. He finished up his song and got up from the stool, making his way over to her. He reached out and lifted her chin, her cheeks were streaked with tears, and running mascara. He frowned and pulled her into his arms, hugging her like he'd done several times before when she and Matt would fight, or if she was just having a bad day. "What happened?" He asked softly, rubbing her back soothingly.

It was weird, but even when they'd been dating Lex always came to him when she needed cheering up. In a way, it made him happy. It always bothered Matt, how close they were, but he was convinced she'd never seen him that way. She'd told him over and over that he was like the brother she never had, and that was alright with him. Seeing what she was capeable of whem it came to hurting people made him glad she wasn't interested in him. And he didn't mind being there for her. He was everyone's shoulder to cry on anyway. He'd be there for whoever needed him.

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 05:21 PM

Lex simply held Kyle as stray tears continued to streak her face. She didn't care who saw her or talked about her right now. She couldn't get the image of Matt's face or how hurt he was out of her mind which made the pain worse. When she heard Kyle ask her what happened she simply shook her head, trying to process everything she was thinking and feeling right now. "We finally talked," she whispered. "Though I'm sure you figured that out by now," she added with a weak laugh.

"He finally let me explain myself to him, and then he told me about how much I hurt him and how he's finally happy with Victoire. He asked me to stay away from him before he did anything stupid like fall for me again, but I just can't," she said. "I know that I'm being selfish, but if I let go of him then that would mean losing not only him but also our past and you as well, and I can't do it. I can't lose everything and everyone I ever cared for. I know that most people don't really like me. I know they simply tolerate me, like Albus Potter does, but you're one of the few friends I have, and I know that if I did let Matt go then he would expect that to mean I left you alone too."

She pulled away from Kyle and wiped away the tears and mascara that were streaking down her cheeks knowing that she was probably only making it worse. "How am I supposed to let go of everything?" she asked him.

princess of*hp* · 08-03-2010, 06:32 PM

After briefly greeting Jay, albeit seeing that he wasn't in much of a mood to speak, Victoire made a small wave for departure and continued her way further down the castle. Matt had said to meet him in the music room, so she made a bee line for where she remembered it to be. Even as she entered the corridor and made her way to the room, a chill ran down her spine. Maybe it was nothing, but her intuition was screaming that something horrible had happened. Something that bode well for no one. Shrugging it off, she approached the door and made to grab the handle. Instead, she thought it better to knock. If they were having guy time inside, or something of the sort, she wouldn't want to intrude. Moving a few loose strands of hair from her face, she waited, stuffing her frozen hands into her pockets.

TrophyKill · 08-03-2010, 07:12 PM

Kyle lifted her chin again and brused the tears from her cheeks. "Let him go." He said simply. "You won't lost him completely. The only reason he's upset with you is because deep down, he still loves you, because he knows you still love him. If you let it go, he will to. Then neither of you will be so bitter over this whole thing, and we can all go back to being friends." He explained. "I know my brother better then anyone else... Better then you did. He told me himself he wants to go back to the old days when it was the three of us, but he can't because of what happened. Just give yourself some space, and him as well. Breath for a while... You're smothering yourself in the past darling." He smiled warmly at her, much like a big brother would to a little sister who'd just skinned out her knee. "You're a beautiful girl, and I'm positive you won't have any problems finding someone else who'll love you. Maybe even better then Matt did."

Matt heard a knock at the door and looked up. It could only really be two people. Kyle, or Vic. He couldn't let Kyle see him like this again, knowing how much of a tole it had taken on him the first time. He didn't want Vic to see him so weak again, but he also told her to meet him there. "It's open." He called, voice still wavering horribly. He clutched the ring in his hand still as he looked up to see who it was.

princess of*hp* · 08-03-2010, 07:55 PM

Victoire heard someone reply to her knock and placed her hand on the golden knob of the door, turning the handle, pushing on the wood of the creaky door, and stepping in. The large room looked empty at first, until she noticed Matt sitting on the couch. His face wasn't visible, as his head faced the floor, and he clutched his hands tightly together. He seemed to be shaking. Her gut feeling had been right. Something horrid had happened. But she hadn't seen anyone else in the corridor or stepping out of the room! She wasn't sure of what to do. Was he sad or angry? Either way, he was extremely upset. She took a step forward, but didn't dare come closer. Shards of a broken vase lay against the wall nearest her. If he was going to explode, she would leave him to cause destruction by himself and wouldn't get in the way of his flying fists. "Matt?" She squeaked, a bit unnerved as she was unsure of whether to approach or not.

LvrGrl4ever · 08-03-2010, 08:36 PM

Lex gave him a watery smile when he told her about Matt wanting the old days back. She wanted that too, but she didn't know if she could give up on everything so easily. She knew that he was right and that she was smothering herself in the past. Then she gave a choked laugh at the sound of someone loving her better than Matt. "Oh really?" she drawled. "Who could love me after knowing everything that I did to Matt. You know as well as I do that most people don't trust me around here."

TrophyKill · 08-04-2010, 12:19 AM

Matt looked up at the sound of Victorie's voice. It sounded odd and strangled. He forced a weak, tearfilled smile and shook his head. "You shouldn't have to see this." He said, roughly wiping the tears from his cheeks. Thats when he noticed the ring still in his hand, and the empty ringbox on the table top. He quickly reached out and grabbed it, standing from the couch and turning his back like he was trying to hide his face from her. Working quickly, he put the ring back into the box and into his pocket. He turned to face her again and walked towards her. All he needed was her arms around him, and he'd feel better. He slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his chest, hanging his head so his face was burried in her hair.

Kyle frowned. "Honesty, not that many people know what really happened here. The muggle guys from the band know, and their friends. But all anyone here knows is that you guys split, and it ended bad." He said. "Matt couldn't talk about it. I didn't have any right to tell people what happened. No one else besides the three of us here knew." He shrugged and wiped the rest of her tears away. "You wouldn't believe how many guys were after you when you guys broke up. I had so many people ask me what your deal was... If they were your type.... If I could hook them up with you. So really, you've got your pick of anyone here." He smiled a little, hoping this would cheer her up a bit. It was more then he could say for himself, after all. Girls fell all over Matt, and he got the left-overs, rejects, and people Matt had no interest in. And the one person he wanted, didn't see him at all.

LvrGrl4ever · 08-04-2010, 12:29 AM

Lex was surprised when she heard that no one knew why her and Matt had split up. She figured that since it was Hogwarts everyone was bound to know within a day or two. Since she wasn't here the previous year and fifth year ended horribly, she really had no idea what people knew about them. She understood why Matt couldn't tell anyone about it and felt touched that Kyle didn't tell anyone because it wasn't his place. Most guys their age wouldn't think twice before telling someone that sort of news. Then when Kyle began telling her about all the guys who wanted to get with her she couldn't help but smirk.

"Well enough talk about me and my issues," she said. "What's new with you?"

TrophyKill · 08-04-2010, 12:37 AM

Kyle sighed and sat down in an out of the way chair near the fire. "Nothing really." He said looking up. "Still trying to catch Rose's attention, but it's not working so well. Even when my brother is dating her cousin." He said with a weary smile. "I've even outright told her that I like her, and she just said 'thanks'. I think it's time I gave up. I mean, it's only been four years." He rolled his eyes and laughed a little. "Maybe Matt had the right idea... touring this summer will be fun."
