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, it's not a big deal... the chances are slim to start with. There's so many people trying to be in this select group of people who are trying to get in to an even more select group of poeople who are trying to be the best out of four schools. Not to be pessimistic, but the chances are pretty slim," Anna said, then yawning and stretching.

Cassirin · 10-27-2004, 11:59 PM

Alexander stepped back into line with a shrug. He'd done what he could and it infuriated him that Karkaroff was so high-handed, but he couldn't do anything about it now. Besides, Riddle seemed content enough with the outcome.

His turn was next anyway, and Alexander hopped onto his broom. He was a fair flyer, and the shrinking hoops gave him a little trouble. At first he was concerned that Karkaroff would try to get him back for speaking up, but the man seemed to have learned his lesson or didn't care enough to curse the hoops. Alexander landed after a middling performance and went to sit on the ground and watch the rest finish.

Zadkhiel · 10-28-2004, 02:19 AM

Nik had fallen into one of his trance-like states again and had more or less missed the exchange between Karkaroff and Marcella and 'Xander. He had only caught the last bit of it and it seemed that whatever Karkaroff decided, so be it.

Jesse had done beautifully in the broom flying trial and he gave her a congratulatory smile when she dismounted. "Beautifully flown." He beamed.

'Xander went after her and he was pleased to note that he did well. Before he knew it, it was his turn next. He mounted his broom and waited for Karkaroff's nod before he took off.

Karkaroff gave him a peculiar look, as if saying that this wasn't such a good idea and Nik's hazel eyes bore into the Headmaster's unrelentingly. After a moment, the Headmaster nodded and Nik took off smoothly and headed directly to the first hoop.

He had little trouble maneuvering himself through the hoops, having worked out most of the timing while he had been on the ground. It seemed that he would make it through the course smoothly, but he hadn't figured the bitingly cold winds into his calculations.

After he was midway through the course, the chill in the air started to make his bronchial tubes close up as they fought to keep the ice cold air out. He quashed the rising panic in his heart and continued with the course. There was only half of it left to go...

Three quarters of the way through, he was swallowing any urge to cough and fighting to get a full lungful of breathable air... He was starting to get dizzy...

I need the other vial...

His maneuvering went off course just a touch because of his divided concentration, but he made it through the remaining hoops just fine, barely whistling through the hoops as they closed behind him. His chest wheezed like the whistling winds as he gasped for breath.

There was one hoop left - last hoop - and it moved upwards as it started shrinking. He could hardly see or breathe as he shot forward in a last burst of energy and cleared the hoop, and instead of continuing to fly up and straight across, he started a spiral nosedive down.

What... where...?... !!!

Moments before he would crash, he caught himself and corrected the angle just enough so that he swooped up just before he was bound to crash. Instead of landing in the proper way however, his lack of balance due to the tremors running through his body made him swing off his broom when he was still a few feet off the ground.

It seemed as if he would have a spectacular fall, but he dropped feet first, grabbing his broom with him as he fell, and landed in a crouched position. If it weren't for his calisthenics training, he surely would have taken a very nasty spill.

He was grateful that he had landed with his back turned towards everybody because at that moment, his face had the ghost of a blue tint to it and tears were streaming down his cheeks.

I barely made it... Even with my medication, I barely made it... I need... I need... !

He felt his vision swimming and he hurriedly dug into his robe for the pouch. With shaking hands, he fumbled with the drawstring and dropped the vial he was looking for twice. Finally, he managed to pick up the vial and he uncorked it and popped it into his mouth. He inhaled the vapors and then spat out the vial and when his lungs finally relaxed just enough, he allowed himself to gasp for the much needed oxygen as quietly as possible so as not to alert everyone else. He popped the mouthpiece into his mouth and bit into it and cringed as the concentrated medication seeped into his mouth.

He forced himself to stand up with trembling legs and wiped his eyes clear of any hint of tears and shot everyone a winning smile before he pretended to become engrossed with the condition of his broom.

The cheeks didn't stay dry for long though and before he knew it, the tears were falling again. His chest ached, his head ached, his body ached, his vision was a bit swimmy, and he had nearly humiliated himself again.

He kept his face carefully hidden from everyone by pulling up the collar of his robe and looking down. Keeping his head bowed, he waited to hear the results... He knew he would pay for this attempt later, but for now, this trial was the most important thing to him. So as much as he needed to get back indoors, he stayed where he was with his hands jammed into his pockets and his legs as stiff as boards to hide the trembling that shook his body.

EmmaRiddle · 10-30-2004, 10:19 AM

Having nothing better to do, Marcella had briefly watched Nik fly and was disturbed when she saw him land somewhat unsteadily as if he were injured. Holding herself back, she did not want to rush forward for a number of reasons, one of them being his friends, she watched him stagger and pay more than enough attention required to his broom. Still concerned she sat, face concentrated and waited to see if anyone else would move.

OOC - is there anyone left to do the trial?

Biochemkris · 10-30-2004, 07:37 PM

ooc: I believe that is everyone.

Gavin got up from his perch on the stands and walked over to Nik. "Good flying," he said, giving his friend a pat on the back, ignoring any indication that Nik was unwell. "It's not often we get to see you fly. Just make sure you take extra care of yourself."

EmmaRiddle · 10-30-2004, 09:48 PM

Having seen Gavin walk forward she was even more sure she would not go over. Instead she flung her broom over her shoulder and wandered down to the gamekeeper padock where the next and final trial was due to take place at any moment.

How does Hippogriffs and Dragons sound?

Mad Eye Touz · 10-31-2004, 03:53 PM

Jesse loved to watch people fly just as much as she liked flying herself, and watching Al and Nik fly was especially great. Jesse went and joined Al and gave him an admiring poke, just as Nik took off. But, knowing Nik better than anyone else in the world, she immediately knew something was wrong...She was already on her feet, by the time of his unsteady landing..Jesse clapped with everyone else, but quickly made her way to him. She looked back to Al, and called him to her with her eyes..

When Jesse got to Nik, his breathing wasn't the worst she had seen, but still not good..Since she was young, she had always taken on the way Nik would breath, almost imitating it. It was almost a subconscious thing now, and Jesse felt herself aleady doing it with him...

Gavin was there, exchanging small talk with him. Jesse waited until he was done, but stood closer to Gavin that she had been. She wasn't feeling really afraid of him anymore, but she wasn't ready to have that chat with him either. Gavin's eye seem to wonder off to Anna, and Jesse took that as her cue..

"We need to go Nik..."But as Jesse took up Nik's arm, she heard the announcement from the judges' stand..the last task was happening in minutes...Jesse turned up to see the determined, yet pained look in Nik's eyes and knew that he would not say no to competing.."Let's try and walk it off.."she said quietly, trying to ignore the tear streaks down Nik's face and his obvious weak manner. Jesse and Al walked slowly and carefully down the paddock, Jesse breathing with Nik with every step..

BG · 11-01-2004, 02:10 AM

Anna was getting distracted and started watching other people. She noticed that Gavin was looking at her. She decided she was starting to miss him and there was nothing to lose by just talking to him. She excused herself from Fay and told her she would see her around school and walked to Gavin. "Hey, Gav... you did well out there," She said, hoping he would understand this was her attempt at being conversational with him.

Biochemkris · 11-01-2004, 02:50 AM

ooc: sounds good to me, Em.

Gavin smiled as Anna walked over but, he was a bit unsure of himself, which was an odd feeling. "Thanks, you too," he said, looking down at the grass . "Are you ready for the last task? It's kinda strange they're holding it right after this one and I'm kinda worried about Nik."

BG · 11-01-2004, 02:58 AM

"I guess I'm ready enough as I can be... though, it doesn't really matter, for me at least," Anna said, noticing Gavin's eyes were on the grass. "I liked the rose and the picture, by the way, last night, if you hadn't gathered that. It was sweet.

Biochemkris · 11-01-2004, 03:17 AM

He looked up and smiled, genuinely. "I wasn't sure... I mean, I thoguht you might think I was just... Well, you had said something about me needing to do something spectacular or something and I thought you might think that's what it was for but, it wasn't. I just want to make things up with you," he said.

BG · 11-01-2004, 03:28 AM

Anna smiled because Gavin smiled. "Well, I want everything to be okay between us, too, but... it's just going to take some time to get back like it was," She said, touching his arm gently.

Biochemkris · 11-01-2004, 11:33 AM

"Yeah, I know," he said, surprised she had touched him but, he smiled just the same. "Would you like to walk woth me to the next task?'

Relief flooded him as Anna spoke with him and even touched his arm. Things might not be perfectly alright with Anna but, at least they were better than with Jesse, who did seem just the smallest bit more comfortable around him.

BG · 11-01-2004, 11:52 AM

"Sure..." Anna said, starting to walk with Gavin. "Do you know what it is, yet?" She asked. She couldn't possibly think of anything else they would be asking them to do. Anna watched Gavin, remembering how she felt safe with him, even after what had happened the previous day. She came to the conclusion that Gavin was okay as long as there was no alcohol around.

EmmaRiddle · 11-01-2004, 02:12 PM

She turned, sat on a bench before a paddock of Hippogriffs, slighty as she heard feet plod down the clearing. Swinging her legs to and fro, she eyed each othe Hippogriffs in turn, trying to suss as to whether there was one among them who might be particularly vicious.

Biochemkris · 11-01-2004, 03:24 PM

"I'm not sure," he said as they approached the Gamekeeper's Paddock. "But, I have a feeling it will involve hippogriffs."

He smirked and pointed to the feathery creatures tramping around. His eye caught Marcella, sitting alone as usual and actually felt a little sorry for her. But, he pushed those thoughts out of his mind when he remembered who he was walking with, even after his blunder the previous day.

BG · 11-01-2004, 09:15 PM

"Oh, that's just wonderful... viscious, clawed beats that can fly. My favorite..." Anna said, watching the animals prance around. She noticed Riddle sitting by herself, and despite what Gavin did or said, Anna thought about how she could never imagine herself befriending the girl.

Biochemkris · 11-01-2004, 10:30 PM

"Come on, Anna," Gavin said, nudging her with his shoulder. "They aren't that bad. I thought you did pretty well with them last term."

BG · 11-01-2004, 11:13 PM

Anna shrugged as they approached the fence of the paddock. She keaned against it and watched the animals. "But now it matters for something, not to mention all the people who are watching... and I'd rather not deal with the creatures if I don't have to. If I were Jesse, I'd forget the whole competition part of this and do something crazy and use the opportunity of most of the school watching." She realized that maybe it wasn't the best mention Jesse, and looked over at Gavin hesitantly.

Biochemkris · 11-02-2004, 12:20 AM

"I hope she does something, it might make her feel better. I really scared her yesterday," Gavin said, leaning next to Anna and staring off at the hippogriffs. He sighed and turned around so that he was now facing the Quidditch pitch, his elbows resting on the fence, and he watched Jesse walking with Nik.

BG · 11-02-2004, 12:27 AM

She stayed facing the oppostie way of Gavin. "Yeah, you did scare her yesterday. I can't blame her, either. She's always seen you as a best friend and someone she could always rely on, and you did that. It was completely... inappropriate," Anna said, not liking how much she sounded like a teacher. She turned so she could see Gavin. "She'll come around in time, though... it's Jesse... has she never not bounced back from anything?"

Biochemkris · 11-02-2004, 12:58 AM

"Not that I'm aware of. But, usually I'm there when she's coming around. Now I'm the reason she has to bounce back," he sighed. "But, I should stop thinking about this. We need to focus on the task. What do you think we'll have to do?"

BG · 11-02-2004, 01:16 AM

Anna sighed and settled for not talking about Jesse anymore. She would come around whenever it happened. "I'm not sure what we'll have to do... they couldn't make us ride them, could they? I mean, we've already had a sort of flying challenge...

Zadkhiel · 11-02-2004, 01:19 AM

Nik held onto Jesse's hand tightly as they walked. He had never felt such gratitude for having his friends by his side as he did right now. He allowed himself to give her a watery smile of thanks and remained mostly silent as they slowly walked about, the only other sound really being their synchronized breathing.

In and out... slowly... in and out... slowly...

The next task was coming up and he hoped he could calm down enough to concentrate on the task at hand. On the plus side, he was too busy concentrating on his breathing to be particularly worried or scared of the hippogryffs. As long as he wasn't scared or violent towards them, he should be fine.

With that in mind, he continued walking with Jesse and kept his eyes shielded from everyone else as much as possible.

EmmaRiddle · 11-02-2004, 12:59 PM

Karkaroff had gone back to the castle so instaed a different teacher stepped forward by the name of Nozzle.

He clapped his hands and gestured to the Hippogriffs,

"First you shall be required to greet the creature, feed it, get on it`s back and ride it. Then you have to coax the creature down to a safe landing.

After that we have a somehwhat harder task which involves a dragon, not much bigger than one of you, where you'll have to escape past it in order to fetch an object from a bush behind the creature."

He opened the paddock gate and gestured for them all to go in and start.
