I came up with this idea and I hope people join in. Basically what it is is mainly made ups, although people might want to double up as Harry, Ron, Hermione and co later.

The RP opens in their fourth year (so everyone who's in the same year is 14/15) at Durmstrang Academny. This RP runs as GoF through Durmstrang students eyes. Later on in the RP, those playing Durmstrang students will be going to Hogwarts for the Tournament and so it goes from there.

We can have a different outcome for GoF or the same, we could have the same Durmstrang champion, or we can have a different one. It's really up to you lot. If someone wants to play Krum, they can, but it isn't essential to the RP. Preferably made-ups please.

I will be playing as Voldemort's daughter, Marcella, who in my scheme of things, spends her time at Durmstrang from years 1 to 4 and then when Dumbledore is reminded of her in GoF, he decides to move her. But that is not relevant for this.

So all who want to join please express an interest and we'll go from there. Advanced RPers only, post minimum is one paragraphs preferably no shorter the 5/6 lines.

The houses stand as thus:

"Well, if it's such a big deal, do something about it..." Anna told Gavin. "There's no point in sitting there complaining, is there?" She shrugged and finished eating what she had on her plate. She turned to check on what Marcella was doing now... making baby faces at Sobek... obviously she knew she was getting under Gavin's skin. "Ugh..." Anna said quietly.

Zadkhiel · 09-18-2004, 03:32 AM

Nik raised his eyebrow at her comment, his logical mind trying to process what Marcella had just said. He didn't recall calling her crazy. "Since when did I ever say you were crazy?" Realizing he perhaps might have been misunderstood, he decided to clarify.

"If I were to do something stupid or totally nutters or completely uncharacteristic of me, then there might be a reason for people to be alarmed and for my friends to react. Like, if I suddenly wanted to jump off our school or something, you know? That sort of thing. At any rate, I'm perfectly sane - at least I'd like to think I am - and I'm talking with you, so you must not be crazy." He grinned and poured some more juice for them both.

"Why can't you afford to have friends?" He watched as she played with Sobek, who looked perfectly content to have attention lavished upon him. "He seems to love the attention," he chuckled as Sobek's tail swished contentedly back and forth. "Though I'd be careful of his side where it's close to the haunch." He reached out and gently scritched behind his ears and laughed when Zephyr leapt up onto the bench then onto his shoulders.

Zephyr mreowed at Sobek and reached out a paw to him as if waving. Seeing him still occupied, she made a quiet rumbling noise in her throat.

Nik picked her up and murmured something in her ear and she leapt out of his arms and headed to Gavin and in moments, she was curling up in his lap.

Cassirin · 09-18-2004, 04:21 AM

Alexander laughed as Jesse leapt over the table and took him to the floor. "I take it this means I'm forgiven? I hope next time I say something idiotic, you remember that's what I do best. I'm not very good with people... give me a text to decipher and I'm your man." Alexander wiggled, his shoulders digging painfully into the hard stone floor. His movement bounced Jesse, who shifted a bit, causing Alexander to realize just how close his face was to hers. He could... "I... you're hurting my hand, Jesse." He flexed his burnt hand to show her.

Mad Eye Touz · 09-18-2004, 05:47 AM

Jesse hopped off of All and pulled him to his feet. "Of course you're forgiven. I was harsh on you to start with..and then you appologized and even made me a present. How could I not fogive..."But Jesse spotted one of the butterflies flying past Al's head and trailed off. She dashed around him, around the Ashwinder table, past Gavin and Anna and finally snashed it.

She went back to Al. His normal expression of confusion that he usually wore around Jesse, was planted on his face. "Come on...Madam Dupre should look at that. And don't worry..I'm in good with her." Jesse grinned to Al, hesistated, then took his other hand to lead him out of the Great Hall and off to Hospital Wing..

Cassirin · 09-18-2004, 07:06 AM

Alexander squeezed Jesse's hand experimentally, then allowed her to tug him along. He hadn't held hands with a girl before, other than the daughter of the Prime Minister of Russia during one of the Ministry balls. That had been different - he'd been her escort and they'd had no choice in the matter. But Jesse was warm and soft, her vibrance compelling and containing the lure of the forbidden. It was no secret what his father and uncle would think of the lovely Jesse. Alexander hated to think that had anything to do with why he was letting the girl drag him off to the infirmary. It didn't really matter, though. Girls like Jesse, for all that she was befriending him, never wanted the nice and safe boy. They wanted something with a bit of glamor or danger or passion. If he wanted her, he'd have to be more like that and less like... himself.

EmmaRiddle · 09-18-2004, 11:20 AM

"I knew you weren't calling me crazy." she said, placing the cat down steadily upon the table, putting a goblet of milk beneath his nose. "It was just a joke against myself." she said, smoothing the cats tail.

She sighed contentedly, leneing her chin upon her palm. "Why cant I afford friends?" she asked, in answer to Nik's question. "I've pretty much come to that conclusion because of what harm having friends does me, not to mention those said friends. No, it's far easier being alone. Not that I don't want friends, because a part of me does, at times, crave that closeness and I have to admit that sometimes my jobes are motivated by jealousy."

Marcella nodded as he made the remark about attention, "Yeah, that's one of the things I've never understood. I seem to be able to get on with animals far better than humans. It's not like I don't have any compassion or love to give, because I do and I can be quite passionate at times, but after being alone for so long I guess I find impressing an animal easier than impressing a person. I struggle to communicate with people without getting the impression that they think I'll attack them at any moment. So much love to give and no-one to take it." she chuckled, mocking herself, tears almost forming in her eyes.

She coughed little, stopping the tears from affecting her voice, she did not want to sound weak, she added, "Perhaps you'd better get back to your friends. I'll see meet you outside the school gates tommorow, around midday?"

Zadkhiel · 09-18-2004, 12:01 PM

Nik listened, his eyes a deep rich hazel hue. This was certainly not the Marcella he had formed an opinion of before and he wasn't quite positive what to make of this different development. His logical gears in his mind were working overtime as he processed everything.

"Being alone isn't a bad thing at times either." He nodded in response to what she had said about being alone. "I like my space and time to myself and I sort of keep to myself out of choice, which is probably why we really never said hello or anything before." He pursed his lips in thought.

"Being alone... gives you room to think. It can help keep your mind clear." He added, thinking of the times he used his me-time to do calistenics and to practice meditation. What he didn't add was that he also kept to himself because he wasn't the most physically active person, either because of his health problems.

He tapped his fingers against the side of the goblet. "Believe it or not though... Before the recent years, there was a time I was... painfully lonely. When I first came to school here." He gestured to his white-blond hair, a telltale signature of his Russian heritage. "It's amazing how much trouble hair color and an accent can cause." He chuckled ruefully, remembering the days when people had called him Snowman and Icicle amongst other things.

His eyes lightened in color at the reminder of tomorrow. A trip to the village would do everyone some good, he thought. "I think a trip to the village would be wonderful. I -"

A rustling sensation in his chest cut him short and his eyes widened in momentary panic. The bloody respiratory illness wasn't completely out of his system yet and he wasn't completely recuperated. If the weather was warm enough, he could stand to go out for a few hours, but the weather was still biting cold - at least for someone who was still getting over being sick.

Mentally, he cursed himself and his condition, then realized later that he couldn't go anyway even if he could. He groaned softly.

"I'd love to go, but I left the house without getting the parental permission forms filled out. My parents were leaving for a business trip at the same time and I completely forgot to get them to sign the papers before."

EmmaRiddle · 09-18-2004, 12:13 PM

"Oh," she replied, genuinely disappointed, it showed on her face. She shuffled further next to him, leaned toward his ear and whispered, "Does this have anything to do with, you know, when you were ill?" She had a sneaky suspicion that it did and didn't really want him to feel like he had to lie to her. But she was sincerely disappointed. "Never mind." she said, trying to sound chirpy all the same. "We could still hang out around the grounds, it just might be a bit harder."

In response to his critcisms at his physical features, she marvelled, "Well, I adore light hair and accents give a person a sense of culture, an appearance of worth and depth, which you have both of."

Biochemkris · 09-18-2004, 02:34 PM

"Yeah, you're right," he said in response to Anna but, turned his head to see where she was looking after she gave a grunt of disgust.

He blanched and jumped out of his seat, about to go over and give Riddle a piece of his mind while he collected his traitorous cat when Zephyr jumped into his lap and he was forced to sit or drop her. He stroked the cat and when he looked up next, Riddle was sitting so close to Nik, their faces were nearly touching. Gavin felt a twinge in his gut and the anger resurged. Shaking his head, he turned back to Anna, "Want to head back to the common room now?"

BG · 09-18-2004, 04:52 PM

"Okay..." Anna agreed, standing up and leaving the dinner hall with Gavin. They walked through the corridors in kind of an awkward silence. To make conversation, Anna spoke up, "So... when do they pick the champion for the tournament?" She asked.

Zadkhiel · 09-18-2004, 10:30 PM

Nik's eyebrow shot up in surprise at her mention of his illness and then his eyes widened minutely in response to her comment about his hair coloring and accent. Since she asked about the illness, he debated on whether or not to tell her the truth. Since she had apologized about picking on him earlier, he figured he could trust her with some of the news.

"I'm getting over an illness, but I actually did forget to get my note signed by my parents. I should owl them the note so I can make it to the next outing." He collected Sobek into his arms, carefully cradling him to make sure he didn't disturb the still-healing wound.

"Even though it's going to be cold tomorrow, it should be lovely weather for an outing. You sure you don't want to go to the village and stretch your legs a bit?" His tone was wistful. An outing to the village would be a wonderful chance to pick up a few items he had forgotten to pack more of.

"I wish I could go. I needed to pick up a few things."

A fluttering in his chest reminded him that he was long overdue for another visit to Madam Rupre and he knew that if he didn't leave in a bit, he was liable to have another respiratory fit.

EmmaRiddle · 09-18-2004, 10:38 PM

"I do want to go, but not alone. It'd be like commiting social suicide. Can you imagine what people might think and say? No. I think I'll stay. After all, we do have flying and creatures tasks left for the tournament heats so I suppose I should brush up for them."

She raised her eyebrows and then agreed, "Maybe you should owl them now, so as to get it as quick as possible. I could walk with you to the owlery if you like?" she offered, hoping he'd take her up on it, wanting to be away from prying eyes so that she could really be herself.

Biochemkris · 09-18-2004, 10:44 PM

Gavin walked with Anna in a discomodious silence until she finally asked about the tournament. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I don't know. Riddle reckons there won't be too many more trials so, I suppose not too much longer. Maybe we'll know next week?" he replied.

They arrived back at the common room and sat in the chair they had been sitting in earlier. "So, how have you been doing in the heats so far? Think you'll get in?" he asked.

Zadkhiel · 09-19-2004, 06:18 AM

Nik inwardly groaned. He needed to head over to the Infirmary as soon as possible, but he didn't want her to know all the details of that. Visiting the owlery sounded like a good idea and it would give them a chance to talk-talk, but only if he had his medication. The very idea of going into a fit of coughing mortifed him.

"Tell you what. I owe Madam Rupre an overdue visit, so why don't I meet you at the owlery sometime a bit later on today?" He had no idea how long it might take him to finish with the appointment and he didn't want her to have to wait around for him. "Maybe after classes are done today since meal time is nearly over?" It would give him enough time to catch a nap maybe and to at least get his medication.

EmmaRiddle · 09-19-2004, 10:11 AM

"Well, tell you what. It's nearly 6pm now so why don't we just call it a day and you can do it alone. It was silly of me to try and impose my prescence on you any longer anyways. Don't want to out stay my welcome."

BG · 09-19-2004, 04:43 PM

Anna took a seat and sort of laughed at what Gavin had just said, "No... don't think I have any chace, but I'm sort of at the point of not caring... it's not that big of a deal... at least not to me," she said, "What about you? Think you'll make it?"

Biochemkris · 09-28-2004, 01:24 AM

ooc: Just so ya know, posts from the last few days before SS went down are gone. :/

Biochemkris · 09-30-2004, 08:14 PM

"Assuming they don't mark me down too much for skipping out on the archery," he grumbled, just as Sobek sauntered in and lept into his lap. "I think I have a decent shot.... And don't sell yourself short, Anna. You may get in trouble a lot but, you are a powerful witch."

BG · 09-30-2004, 08:30 PM

Anna stared at the fire, briefly entranced by the flames, when she realized Gavin had spoken. "Thank you... but... I don't know, I don't really think Ill make it in. You may have a good chance, though... but then again, so does Riddle." She shifted her gaze to him to see his reaction to mentioning Riddle. It still didn't seem right that he seemed as if he were trying to befriend her.

Biochemkris · 09-30-2004, 08:38 PM

Gavin frowned at the mention of the girl who had skewered his cat and he began to subconciously stroke Sobek's back. That cat purrred in contentment as Gavin spoke again. "Yeah, Riddle will probably get in, much to Karkaroff's displeasure, I'm sure. But, I think he's too scared of her to NOT to put her on the team. Still, that leaves 3 spots open, one for me, one for you, and one for Nick..." he trailed off wondering if Nick really would make it in his condition.

While Nick was the most intelligent person Gavin knew, he also tended to be sick a lot and Karkaroff was well aware of that fact...

BG · 09-30-2004, 08:59 PM

"Do you really think Nik has a chance? Honestly? Karkaroff knows about his health..." Anna said. There was no way he would be able to compete in the tournament. If he almost passed out just dueling, he definitely couldn't compete. "What do you think the tasks will be?"

Biochemkris · 09-30-2004, 09:13 PM

Gavin's frowned deepened as he continued to stroke Sobek, his eyes keeping their focus on the silvery fur, dotted with black spots. Anna was right... Nik didn't really stand a chance with Karkaroff even though he did deserve a spot on the team. It wasn't like Nik was sick ALL the time and even when he was sick, he was better than almost every kid in the school...

"Tasks?" Gavin looked up at Anna. "You mean once we get to Hogwarts? I don't know. What do you think Hogwarts will be like?"

BG · 09-30-2004, 09:21 PM

"I don't know... big... and better than this school. I have a cousin who went through school there... it sounded as though he liked it. Apparently they have really good quidditch teams too." Anna shrugged and reached over to scratch Sobek's ear.

Biochemkris · 09-30-2004, 09:26 PM

"What makes you think it's better than this school? I heard they don't even teach the Dark Arts. They have Defence Against the Dark Arts but, they won't even let you see what Dark Arts are. What's up with that?" he asked, his hand briefly touching Anna's as they both reached to stroke the same spot on Sobek's head.

BG · 09-30-2004, 09:43 PM

"I don't know... I just always pictured it as better in some way..." Anna said in an indifferent tone. She moved her hand sharply away when their hands touched, then wondered why that bothered her and deliberately rested her hand on his.
