Danton held the handle of his wand between his teeth in deep concentration as he stared at the color of his potion. It had to be perfect before he could add the final ingredient unless he wanted to start the seven-month-long process all over again. Squinting at it thoughtfully, he nodded, removed his wand from his mouth and gently placed a single beetle's eye in the exact center of the cauldron, whispering dead words as he waved his wand over the concoction.
Almost instantaneously, the air above the cauldron began to crackle, smelling like burnt atmosphere. A dark spot seemed to appear in Danton's vision. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his sleeve, but it remained, becoming larger. When it was the size of a snitch, the young wizard realized that it wasn't a black spot in his vision but a black spot in the world. An empty space, as black as death, grew and stretched before him. He smiled to himself and let loose a call of triumph that echoed through the empty basement laboratory. It had worked! The portal was opening!
When the portal was the size of a small doorway, Danton stuck his wand in his back pocket and climbed through.
_____________
This story started out as a fanfiction, but I never did have the inspiration to finish it. It is, however, one of my better story concepts, if I say so myself.
One November 22, 2106, Danton Latimer Gethin disappeared from his basement through a portal. What was on the other side of that portal remains uncertain, but the young boy was different when he returned. With darkness in his eyes and his soul, he set about a series of events that would throw the world into a chaos that hadn’t been seen since the time of Lord Voldemort.
Now, as I’m sick of my RPs failing and being abandoned, I’m going to take a different approach to this one. I’m not going to play any of the characters. I’m going to RP as the plot line. (For anyone who LARPs like I do or plays DnD, I’ll be more of a Storyteller or a Dungeon Master.)
As a result of this decision, all of the available characters are good guys. I will play all of the characters that are evil. I think this will help keep the RP alive because it means that all of the players are working toward the same goal as opposed to against each other. So, if a couple of people quit, we won’t have four good guys against one evil one. And it also means there’s a LOT more people for everyone to interact with.
Also, some of the plot may be delivered to characters via PM. Not to everyone, and not all the time, but there will occasionally be things that characters may or may not want to share with their friends.
Now, this is a future RP, so we are playing with several descendants of the original canon characters. I’ve made family trees to use for this RP. They are here (The Potter/Weasley one is HUGE).
SPOILER!!: Family Trees: This WILL make your screen scroll
Fiona and Blaire are twins, as are Gemini and Genisis.
And, of course, there is plenty of room for made-ups. Especially if there is to be a romantic relationship, since the main characters are almost all related (though some distantly).
Hello there, your thread has qualified into our forum and you can now begin RP'ing as soon as you get some players. We would like to remind you of a few links which are here for your reference:
Fiona had watched the whole thing with barely contained rage. Kalliope was out of line and now her and her little cronies were seriously going to get it. Rising swiftly she pulled out her own wand but didn't point it at anyone. In a commanding voice she looked right at Kalliope. "That's enough. You are your fan club need to leave. Now. And if I see you attacking anyone else you're going to be sorry. You are way out of line."
Her gray eyes flashed as she looked at her cousin. Everyone she was attacking may be related distantly but Kalliope's mother was her and Blaire's aunt. Fiona stood her ground looking like an avenging angel. Her green Slytherin robes and her Head Girl badge proudly displayed. Kalliope might have been the Dueling Club Captain but Fiona played Quidditch and was couch to said Dueling Club.
Muse of Xevis > | < Defender of Trearlonis > | < Elder of Gostrenac > | < Daughter of Eshoza
"Maybe you should be paying more attention, Carlisle," Kalliope says, looking at the girl. "I was sitting at the table minding my own business when Adelinde came over and attacked me. She was the first to draw, the first to cast, and--oh--the first to fall," she says in a sing-song tone. "Not to mention you twin casting spells while the target's back is turned. Tsk, tsk," she says, shaking her head. "You'd think the descendents of our "saviors on high" would have better dueling manners."

Blaire giggled
'Me, low? Aw, honey, you should check the
mirror once in a while' she said, looking Kalliope right in the eyes 'Sectumsempra!' she called, still, of course, aiming at the Slytherin. 'Strange,' she muttered, noticing something odd... there was something off about the Hogwarts crest on Kalliope's robes, but she couldn't quite put a finger on it...

Kalliope opens her mouth to his something back at Blaire, but isn't able to get the words out before Blaire's curse takes effect. Kalliope's entire body goes rigid as she's lifted into the air several inches and slashes begin to appear on her body.
OOC: Knockturn Alley RPG rules won't allow me to post any graphic violence in great detail, but you've all read the books and seen the movie, so you know that Sectumsempra is an extraordinarily violent Dark spell.
Game Mechanic: So... *sigh* I rolled a sanity check for Blaire of 3 d10s (10-sided dice) and, unfortunately, she failed all three rolls. Blaire, you're entire family was destroyed by someone just yesterday and you've just performed violent Dark magic against another person. You have a horrid flashback of the picture of the Weasley home burning from the Daily Prophet. Needless to say, you're a little sick to your stomach and horrified at what you've just done. Please RP accordingly.
Kalliope falls to the ground and starts bleeding.

"Blaire. Enough." Her voice was soft but held authority. She turned back and looked at Kalliope. Her gray eyes glittering with malice. "You invited trouble when you made fun of the tragedy. You shouldn't talk about people families like that." She bit out between clenched teeth. Kalli may be her cousin but she was really starting to get on her nerves. She was dancing a thin line and Fiona had had enough.
The Slytherin was having a hard time keeping her emotions in check. Between the big announcement, the dream, and now...well anyone would loose their patience. Merlin knew she was trying to keep herself and everyone else in check. Then her twin did the unthinkable. Right before her eyes Kalliope fell bleeding like crazy.
Fiona rushed forward and wracked her brains. DADA was one of best subjects. Quickly, she began chanting low under her breath her wand resting against Kalli's chest. Her entire focus was on her fallen cousin.
Something deep inside her was questioning why she was trying to save the girl. She had been an awful witch but she didn't deserve this.

Blaire gasped as Kalliope fell to the ground - she really hadn't expected the spell to go through the shield charm. She knelt beside her cousin, tears falling down her cheeks and mingling with the blood on the floor. She couldn't believe what she'd done - it was far to similar to what she imagined had happened the night before. Blood on the floor, so much blood.
'I... I'm so sorry, Kalliope' she whispered, gaspin for breath between the tears 'So, so sorry'

Reason: iPod fail xd
Nathan had finally decided that he wouldn't be able to get a spell past whatever barrier the boy had. He looked towards the the other people who was standing ther just in time to see Kalliope be hit by Sectumsempra. He knew it was an extremly dark curse and that was confirmed when all the cuts appeared on her body and she fell to the floor bleeding. He knew that even though he didn't like her, someone needed to get the nurse before she lost too much blood. He looked at the group and said, "Someone go get the nurse"
Fiona kept chanting keeping the rhythm slow and steady. The blood flow was beginning to slow and some of her cousin's coloring was starting to come back. She vaguely heard voices around her but her concentration had to be on Kalliope. Though she did glance up at her cousin's groupies. Her critical eyes swept the group and noticed some odd things. First her gray eyes couldn't help but notice that every one of her followers was holding there wands with there left hands.
Even in wizards and witches, being left handed was rare. Her attention alightly upon the crests emblazoned on there robes as well. Without breaking her chant, Fiona looked down and studied the one on Kalli's robes. The crest was backwards. That was even stranger. Questions began swirling through her head but she pushed those to the back of her mind for the time being.
Again her attention was completely focused on her cousin. To her consternation however, it didn't seem to be working. Frustration threatened to take over but she pushed it brutally away. She could not fail! A vision of her father swam into her vision hardening her resolve.
Wracking her brain, she slightly changed the chant and gave it another rhythm. This time she moved her wand and pointed it at Kalli's stomach.

Plot point: None of the armed Slytherins are moving an inch. They just look at the ready. A small girl, though, probably a First Year, runs off to find the Nurse.
Fiona, you find that the bleeding has stopped, but the wounds aren't closing like they should be. They still look like open cuts.

Gem watchde in horror as Kalliope fell to the ground and blood pooled around her. She knew Blaire regretted it, and then she could tell by what she said. Gem moved her eyes over the scene taking in everything before it changed. The first thing she noticed was that all the armed Slytherins had their wand in the same hand, which wasn't odd at first. But then she noticed they were all using their left hand. How odd. Also odd, was the fact that none of them were moving, they just looked prepared. She noticed something else about them, about their robes. The Hogwarts crest was odd, something was not right about it. But she couldn't quite place her finger on what. Lastly she noticed that the spell Fiona was using didn't seem to be making much prgress. That was also odd, because Fiona's spells were always brilliant. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a young girl run off, hopegully to ger the nurse.

Maybe it was ridiculous to wonder if she'd had the same dream as him. Even if it was... Spence felt he needed to talk to her about it.
He spotted the Daily Prophet in the hands of Kelby's friends, and, as he spotted the picture, Spence felt tears well up in his eyes once more. He looked away immediately, averting his gaze from the newspaper. Spence didn't want to read it. He already knew what the article would say. And he hated that everyone else knew. Spence didn't want to be pitied or comforted.
He didn't want to deal with people like Kalliope Malfoy either... but he was a prefect. It took Spence a bit too realize something was going on. However, it was kinda hard not to notice, what with falling chandeliers and flying cousins. "Be right back." he promised, hoping out of his seat beside Kelby. Swiftly drawing his wand, Spence marched over to the Slytherin table, across the room. "What in the name of Merlin's beard is going on?" he demanded, looking from Kalliope, with her split lip and a drawn wand, to Adelinde who looked ready to kill to the two boys next to them. "Honestly." he grumbled under his breath. Couldn't he go a few hours without a new conflict arising? And where were the professors when you needed them? Or the other prefects for that matter?

She was in his dream too? Then perhaps they had had the same dream. Kelby wasn't sure whether that was a good or bad thing, but before she could comment on it, her attention was drawn to the commotion over by the Slytherin table. Oh Merlin, it looked bad. She only half-noticed Spence get up and make his way over there; she herself was frozen in her seat, watching the scene unfold. And then...
Sectumsempra?! WHAT was Blaire thinking?! Kelby instantly leapt to her feet and was about to go get the Healer herself when she saw a much younger girl run off, and Kel hoped she was going for the Healer and that she would return soon.
Drawing her wand, she made her way over to where they were all gathered and saw Fiona trying to tend to the injured Kalliope. "Need any help, Fiona?" Kelby offered.

Fiona was totally focused on Kalli. The new rhythm and slightly altered words seemed to be working. The bleeding had stopped but to her frustration and alarm the wounds weren't closing. She glanced up as a voice close to her asked if they could help. Her eyes alighted upon Kel and another thought occurred to her. Again she switched up the words fractionally and the rhythm of her chanting shifted.
With her free hand she guided Kelby's wand so that it was pointed at Kalliope's face. She looked the girl in the eyes and kept up the chanting though her voice rose a bit. She was hoping the Kelby would take the hint. Maybe with the two of them casting the spell the progress would go quicker. Kelby was younger and had less experience but she was quick to catch on to things.

Allowing Fiona to guide her wand, Kelby watched and listened for a moment, trying to figure out the spell that was being used. She was quite sure she'd heard it in her Defense Against the Dark Arts class, though she wasn't a hundred percent certain. Regardless, she followed the Head Girl's lead and chanted with her, focusing all her concentration on healing Kalliope. It seemed the bleeding had stopped, but the wounds were still open. How odd. Kel simply took that as a sign that they had to keep trying. Surely it would work eventually.

Before the counter spell has enough time to work, Ms. Endicott, the nurse runs into the room with the tiny Slytherin girl following behind her like a frightened puppy. "What are you doing? Get away from her!" the nurse scolds Fiona and Kelby as she pushes them both aside and drops to her knees next to Kalliope looking absolutely scandalized. "Dark magic!" she nearly screeches at the top of her lungs as she focuses her wand on Kalliope.
Behind the nurse, Headmaster Maltus comes into the room. His eyes grow wide at what he's looking at and he immediately looks around the room to see who could possibly be responsible. The only people with wands in their hands are Fiona, Blaire, Kelby, Adelinde, Spence, Gemini, and Nathan. The Slytherins who were standing with wands in their hands just a moment ago are gone. They're not even in the Great Hall anymore.
((OOC laugh of evil))
"How bad is it, Ms. Endicott?" he asks the woman, not taking his eyes off of the armed students.
"Not healing properly!" her voice comes out in a high-pitched squeel and she seems unable to complete a full sentence. She quickly Levitates unconscious Kalliope and hurries out of the Great Hall with her.
Headmaster Maltus looks around at the seven students with wands in their hands, fury in his expression. "My office," he says. "Now!"
OOC: Anyone who has NOT been summoned to the Headmaster's office may do whatever they like until those who DO have to go to the office are finished. You could check on Kalliope, you could go outside, you could go to your room and brood.... You could talk to each other about your dreams. *wink wink* But I'm out for the night. See you happy kids tomorrow (probably).

Reason: Was just informed that Gemini was armed as well. :)
not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤
Gemini saw the headmaster looking at her. Dang it! She put her wand away and looked at him stupidly. She didn't want to go, but she figured that she had to, now. Just a guess. She glanced at her cousins, then glanced back at Genisis. Gem hesitantyly stepped forward. She should have probably guessed that she would get in trouble for attacking Kalliope. At that moment she noticed that the Slytherin's were gone. Wha...
Gem glaced up to the staff table and saw that there were no teachers up there. Something was off. Something odd was going on, and Gem was determined to figure out what. She headed to the headmaster's office with her head held high.
Nathan was about to argue with the Headmaster and tell him that it wasn't them, but when he looked the other Slytherins were gone. He looked around for a minute and knew they were in a bad pradicament. He looked at the Headmaster again and saw the fury on his face, and decided arguing right now was a bad idea. He put his wand back in its holster and walked towards the headmaster's office with his head held high.
Adelinde pocketed her wand and followed the headmaster. Fine, punish them. She was more upset about the fact that Kalliope hadn't died yet more than anything. She walked and followed the Headmaster. Her side still hurt, just the slightest though. Actually no, it hurt like crap. But she walked away with her dignity and she looked at Nathan. "Are you alright?" she whispered to him quietly. He was one of the first to attack after she had attacked the nasty witch from Hell. That and Nathan always had her back, so she was really lucky. She was grateful to her family too, the ones who had helped at least. She gave them all a small smile, as if apologizing because it was kinda her fault they were all being summoned to the office anyways.

Nathan looked at Addie who was walking beside him. "Yeah, I'm fine" he said. The boy who he sent spells at didn't even fight him. He didn't even seee the boy cast a shield charm and that troubled him. He remembered Kalliope hitting Addie with a spell and Addie being in pain. "Are you alright?" he asked her.

Addie gave him a small smile. "I'm fine," she lied. Actually, no she wasn't. She sighed. "So... how was it? You know... battling that guy?" she asked. Because she, honestly, hadn't really been paying attention. All she knew was that, right now, she wished Kalliope Malfoy was dead. And during the fight she was wondering what Kalliope Malfoy really knew about it all, and her anger had taken control of her... that was reckless of her...

Oh damn. Damn. Damn. Blaire stood up, moving quickly away from her cousin's side, her tears still running freely to the floor. She pocketed her wand and made her way to Headmaster Maltus's office, her mind playing horrible flashbacks - pictures if the Weasley house, in flames with that... That mark hovering over the top of it all. What she'd done to Kalliope felt to similar to that massacre, the Dark Magic used to kill her family. She felt sick to the stomach, not believing what she had done.

Nathan could tell that Addie was lying but he let it drop. For now. He thought back to when he was in the great hall. "Wierd. My spells disappeared in a wierd shield which I didn't even see him cast." He looked back at her. "What happened with you?" he asked.

Plot: As it will be nearly impossible for me to get on all weekend and I don't want to hold the game up, here's the long and short of what happens:
You get to the Headmaster's office. You get seriously chewed out. There's a long speech about responsibility and expulsion. In the end, you all get a detention for tomorrow night with the Herbology Professor. You're dismissed from the office and sent on your way. As today is Sunday, you may spend the day as you please.
Now, this last bit is VERY important, everyone.
DO WHAT YOU THINK YOUR CHARACTERS WOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION.
Run or fight or check on Kalliope or WHATEVER. Don't stay in the RP box just because you think that's where I want you. I want you to be creative and do exactly what your characters would do. That's the beauty of one person playing the Plot instead of everyone playing equal characters. ((Psst... that includes Spence *hint hint*))
My advice, however? By Monday morning (in the real world), try to be at dinnertime (in game time).
I'll be back in a few days. You gotta do you. Good night, my dears.

Dangit!! Detention?! Gemini had never had dentention IN HER ENTIRE LIFE! Stupid Kalliope. Though, Gem supposed that it wasn't her fault, Gem had pulled out her wand and attacked her with birds. But who wouldn't have reacted like that in her situation. Gen. She hadn't done anything, wasn't Gem supposed to be the calm one. Grrrr. Grrrrrrrr. Grr. Gem was mad. She stalked angily to the common room to wait for the fire in her temper to die down; unfortunately it was taking a while. Gem was getting impatient. She jumped up from her chair and went to find Gen. She didn't really need to talk to her, Gen was just someone she usually talked to. Because they were twins. Duh.
Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia
Detention?! Well it wasn't like Kelby had never had detention before - on the contrary, she'd received several detentions every year for the past seven years - but for once she hadn't actually done anything to deserve it! She was only trying to help Fiona heal stupid Kalliope's wounds; the Healer had jumped to conclusions, and neither she nor stupid Headmaster Maltus had given them a chance to explain themselves. Stupid, moronic Maltus. Merlin's beard.
She stalked out of his office, arms folded over her chest, but stopped just outside, waiting for Spence. She still needed to talk to him, and no stupid Headmaster nor detention was going to make her forget what was important right now.
