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: Quote: Phoenix - Gryffindor
Chimaera - Slytherin
Ashwinder - Hufflepuff
Bundimun - Ravenclaw Me

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "I'm comfortable and..." Gavin wondered for a moment if he was saying the right thing or not. "And I want to... But, not if you aren't ready..." he was beginning to feel rather awkward now, laying on top of Anna while she seemed deep in thought about what they were doing. He wondered if he should roll over or do... something....

| Anna had about one more split second of though, but then decided. "No, I'm ready..." She said, her left hand on Gavin's back, making sure he stayed there. He had seemed like he was going to move off of her. Her other hand went back to his boxers. "I just hope you are."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin smiled at Anna's little joke, glad that she was ready. "Did you bring your wand?" he asked and quickly moved to grab it from her robe and perform the necessary charm. He smiled, kissed her again after he was done, and then, moved to do something about that tank top she was wearing...
He cradled Anna's head in the crook of his arm and smiled, contentedly. The storm outside seemed to have calmed a bit and the rocking of the ship was rather hyptontic. Gavin pulled the sheets up over the two of them and kissed the top of Anna's head.

| Anna pulled her head up to give Gavin a short kiss, then returned to her position, snuggling up against his chest. "I think it was a good decision we made to do that..." She said, smiling to herself.

Originally Posted by Zadkhiel Nik started when someone bumped into him. Feeling rather peevish, he was about to tell the person to watch where he or she was going, but when he saw that it was Marcella, he decided not to. When she threw her arms around him he found himself wrapping his arms around her, too, and holding her in silence for a moment.
After she had calmed down just enough, he spoke just loud enough for her to hear. "Things just keep going from bad to worse, aren't they?" It didn't take a Merlin-class wizard or witch to tell that she was rather distressed by something that had happened earlier. Seeing as it wasn't the storm that had upset her, he conjectured that perhaps she had run into Gavin along the way or something similar. His long slender fingers found their way into her hair and he gently brushed out the small hailstones and other bits of debris.
"It seems that the storm has caused quite a ruckus and now that I've been awake past my bedtime, I can't go back to sleep now and it seems that maybe you can't either. Want to talk?" Marcella looked like she needed someone to talk to or at least to listen to her and he himself needed a distraction from his own thoughts. She nodded her head, it still stuck against his shoulders. Wiping away at her eyes, she looked up to face him and then looked away, to ashamed to see into his eyes.
"It's Gavin. He....Merlin I'm so stupid, Nik. I shouldv'e seen it coming. He's done it before and now he's done it again. One minute he's coming onto me, playing on my feelings and then when Anna strolls along he clams up, leaving me to take the blame for everything. He doesn't even speak. He's such a coward. I hate him so much. I hope, that when we get to Hogwarts, a stray dragon comes along and eats him up whole. That's how much I hate him."
Furious, she flung her head back onto his chest and cried some more, pulling on his shirt, entirely frustrated. Her voice muffled, she muttered, "Thank you Nik. You're too kind. Why can't other people be like you? All this crap, it's making me wonder whether I made a mistake, trying to make friends. Sure, I was lonely before but when I had no-one then at least I had no-one who could potentially hurt me like this. Life seems so much harder when you have to deal with people. Especially those as difficult as Ormand and Anna. i hope they get eaten alive by a venemous tentacula." |

| Nik was silent for a moment, trying to figure out just what to say. He had known Gavin ever since he was a little kid and he was sure that some of Marcella's conclusions about him were a bit off the mark. Knowing how Gavin was though, he also understood her confusion about his behavior. Actually, Gavin's behavior of late had been getting on his nerves, too, but he already had his "talk" with his childhood friend.
He sighed quietly and rubbed her back. "I know Gavin can seem very... brusque sometimes. Maybe even a lot of times. He's a private person and so if you say he clams up when he's around other people, I'm not too surprised. Especially if Anna was there since well... he and Anna are together I guess. He was probably trying not to let Anna feel jealous or something and so that probably made him clam up more. But that's no excuse and blaming you - or letting the blame fall on you - for things that aren't to be blamed on you is wrong."
He paused to brush some stray hairs away from his face before continuing. "If you really want to talk talk with him, talk with him when Anna isn't around. If it will make you feel better, tell him how he's made you feel and see what he says."
Lightning flashed across the sky and he instinctively pulled her in a little closer to him.
"I'm not all that much of a social person myself, which I'm sure you know, and yeah... I can see how dealing with people can be really stressful. Dealing with some people is so horrid that I'd rather be a hermit forever. But... not all people will give you that sort of crap or stress. Everyone has their own stuff going on and toes get stepped on from time to time because people aren't perfect, but real friends won't intentionally hurt you. Trust me on that."
He emphasized the last four words, his Russian accent becoming more pronounced when he did so.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Marcella Riddle Graduated | Kaplinski Rival Sorting Hat Machine She scoffed. "He didn't clam up because of Anna's feelings. He did it to save his own skin. Look, it's no use, you won't understand unless I explain. He was flirting with me, heavily and, admittedly, I had a crush on him before and granted he knows that and he played on it. But when she came along he left me to be verbally abused, preferring to stay quiet and save his own skin, leaving me to take the entire blame for whatever might've happened when it was truly all his fault. Too right it's wrong," she snorted, all manner of vile processes of torture springing to mind, that she could perform on Gavin.
"That's the thing, whenever I do talk to Gavin, she always turns up, so I have no time whatsoever to try and drum it into him, that he's being an absolute jerk toward me."
She sighed heavily for what felt like the hundredth time and leant on Nik once more, her arms now around his waist as if sh were cuddling a teddy bear. As she did so, lightening flashed and she felt him pull her closer to him again.
An eyebrow raised a she barked on about being anti-social. "You're being rather affectionate with me, for such an anti-social being," she mused, a small smile clutching at the corners of her blue lips. "Real friends like you?" she asked, hopefully.
His accent became suddenly, strangely emphasised and she liked it. The subtle tones, the slightly husky wavers, it was almost musical to just close her eyes and listen. "I know I can trust you." she whispered, her head now leant against his, her eyes looking up wards. |

They hadn't exactly checked to see if there were any belongings stored in the room. But, it wasn't as if this was the only stateroom on board... Gavin shrugged it off and closed his eyes, content with having Anna is his arms.

| Karkaroff was walking back to his room. He had been wandering the ship and it was now late into the night, and he had a sastisfied feeling, as he had caught no less than six students getting into trouble. But, he was feeling tired and felt it was time to retire. He found his room and opened the door. He took off his thick robe and threw it onto a chair in the corner. He walked towards the bed when he noticed something on the floor. It looked like a pair of shorts, and as he bent closer, he saw what it was. He felt color rising to his face, and lit his wand, pointing it toward the bed.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin heard the door creak open and then a plopping onto the floor. He did NOT want to open his eyes. This was just a bad dream. He was NOT laying here without any clothes on, with Anna who had no clothes on, in Karkaroff's bed. But, as he saw the light from beneath his eyelids, he knew it was true. He slowly opened his eyes, as if taking his time would make him disappear. He swallowed and felt all the color drain from his face as he looked up at the headmaster. Gavin was frozen, like a deer in muggle headlights.

| Anna was drifting off to sleep when she heard the door open. She opened her eyes, but didn't look towards the door, but to Gavin, who had his eyes closed, but obviously was awake and had heard the opening door. She turned over to look up into the face of the headmaster. Professor Karkaroff. She hurriedly pulled the covers up to her chin and just stared. Karkaroff hadn't seen who was in his bed until he examined them closer with his lit wand. It was Ormand and Dimitrov. Ormand? He had never expected something like this from him. "One of you better explain," He said, not caring that the two obviously were uncomfortable, and needed to dress.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin opened and shut his mouth, his mind trying to find an excuse... ANY excuse to give to Karkaroff. He finally opened his mouth to speak again and only a small squeak came out. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Nik... Andreu wasn't feeling well and came into Oblansk's and my room so, I let him have my bed. Then, I was going out to find his room when I stumbled across Anna... Dimitrov and we sort of just... found our... way... in... here," he fizzled out at the end but, at least it was the truth, even if it wasn't all of it.

| Anna laid there, staring up at her headmaster, speechless. Her face was overcome with red. She blinked back a tear, telling herself she wouldn't cry. She didn't cry about things like this. Even if this was, without exaggeration, the most embarassing thing that had ever happened to her. He stood, leering over them. He wouldn't let them go through this without being as mortified as they could. Other punishments would come later. "You found your way in here, and then... did what?" His eyes lingered on Dimitrov, who was making sure she was fully covered.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin's heart was beating so fast he was sure it was going burst out of his chest. It was almost as if he couldn't breathe and he felt his face growing hot. "Well..." he croaked and cleared his throat again, wishing he had something to drink. "We were both kinda... tired.... and the boat was thrashing about so... we figured... we'd... sleep here... We didn't know anyone was staying up here, sir."

| OOC: OH . MY . GOODNESS! XD!!! Boy are _they_ going to get it! Nik chuckled a little at Marcella's mention of him being rather affectionate for someone so anti-social.
"I'm not so much as anti-social as... not wanting to waste time talking to people who haven't got more than two brain cells to rub together. I'm not much of the 'Hi, how are you? Fine day isn't it?' sort of person, but I think you can already tell. I have patience to teach or lead, but not the patience to deal with ignorance and plain stupidity." He shrugged a little and lowered his voice. "I guess you can say that I'm picky about who I choose to befriend and friend."
There was a lengthy pause as he weighed what he was about to say. Finally, he squeezed her shoulders and brushed a strand of hair from the side of her face.
"I'm choosy about who I choose to befriend and I believe that you were and are worth it to befriend... and friend, Marcella. I told you a while back that I don't let others make choices for me and I don't. I make my own choices and I chose to befriend you and will choose to have you as my friend if you will have my friendship."
He took a deep breath and smiled. His hazel eyes, dancing with hues of silvery blue and copper in the lightning, belied his seriousness. With the seriousness, came the accent of his mother tongue. "Marcella, I can't make someone trust me. In fact, I won't even try and make someone trust me. I learned a long time ago that true trust is earned and not bought - ever bought. Because of that... I'm honored that you do trust me... Thank you." With that said, he hugged her warmly.
For someone like Marcella, he knew that trusting someone never came easily, especially if one was faced with a lot of adversity from peers. He knew this all too well because he himself had faced such adversity when he had first attended Durmstrang. His white-blond hair, pale face, quiet demeanor, and slightly caustic attitude had caused a lot of the students to shun him at first. It wasn't really until he really stopped caring about what his peers thought that things got better. Reestablishing his old friendship with Jesse and Gavin had helped a lot, too. Now that it had been a few years, things had gotten much better and he learned to cherish his space as much as his few close friendships.
Lightning flashed again overhead and thunder cracked and he started. "We should get inside before we both catch our death of a cold. Your lips are blue and I'm sure mine aren't any rosier. Maybe we can go to a lounge room or something?"

| "So... you two were sleeping? Do you often sleep with out anything on on such a cold night?" He pointed his wand to the sheet that Dimitrov had pulled up so high, and moved it down a couple of inches, exposing a part of her bare shoulder. "What were you doing?" He said, in a low, angry voice. Anna squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself not to cry. She didn't cry in front of adults and it would just make her look like more of a child, which she didn't need in this situation.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin looked away from Karkaroff then, down at Anna and back again. The Headmaster had lowered the sheet enough so that Anna's shoulder was now uncovered. "Sir..." he began, unsure as to how he should word this. "I'm really sorry we were in here like this but... Well, can we just... I'd rather not say what we were doing," he finally admitted, looking down at Anna, not wanting to just come right out and tell Karkaroff what had happened, especially in front of her, it just wasn't proper.

| "Please, sir..." Anna said quietly, just wishing Karkaroff would disappear. Karkaroff looked down at the two, deciding that maybe they had had their share of embarassment for the night. "Well," He said, walking away from the bed, "There certainly will be a punishment. There are rules about doing... that sort of thing on school property, and being out of bed after hours, and being in a teacher's private quarters. I think maybe a suspension would be in order, but, seeing as how we are almost half-way to Hogwarts, we shall have to find some other way.... And I will be writing to both of your parents," He said, with a grin. "You two have two minutes to get out of my room and get in back in order." He left the room, slamming the door behind him.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin was horrified. It was one thing to be caught and facing down Karkaroff. It was another thing entirely to be told that the offence was severe enough to warrant suspension and that he'd be writing to his parents. Gavin had never, NEVER, been in trouble with Karkaroff before, never even getting a detention. Now, he was being faced with some unknown punishment and a letter home. His parents would skin him alive when they found out what had happened. What would Karkaroff be putting in the letter? It was a while before he was able to shake himself out of his thoughts and he turned to Anna. He wanted to apologize but, he couldn't find any words. Instead, he stood staring at her, his mouth open as if to speak, at a total loss.

| Anna closed her eyes briefly, thinking about what had just happened. She didn't hold back now that Karkaroff was gone, and started to cry. She looked at Gavin, who had turned to look at her, and she quickly rolled out of the bed, grabbing her underwear and tank top and slipping them on hurriedly. "I'm sorry," she said, going to the other side of the room to grab her robe.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Anna had rolled out of bed, tears starting to stream down her cheeks. She was already alway dressed by the time he got up and ran over to her, forgetting that he wasn't dressed yet, either. "Anna," he said, grabbing her wrist. "Don't be sorry. It's my fault."

| Anna shook her head, slipping on her robe. "It's not your fault. We both decided to do that, in this room, tonight," She said. "So... please, don't think or say that is is your fault. It doesn't even matter whose it is. It's done with. We're both pretty much doomed. I mean, imagine what Karkaroff will put in those letters. 'I walked on your daughter, with a boy, unclothed, in my bed-' Where is my wand?" She asked, then sniffing. She hadn't seen it in awhile. The last time she had, she recalled it being on the nightstand next to the bed. She went to look and it wasn't there. It had fallen under the bed. She grabbed it, and went back over to Gavin. "That was the most embarassing thing I have ever had happen to me, but... I don't regret what we did." She pulled him close and gave him a kiss. "Good night."

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Gavin noticed his state of undress when Anna walked over to try and find her wand. While she was searching, he grabbed up his boxers and pulled them back on and then, made sure to button his robe all the way up, this time. He was glad Anna didn't blame him, though he did feel guilty. He was also dreading those awful letters home. Nothing Karkaroff would do to punish them would be worse than that.
He was surprised that she kissed him and breathed a quick, "Good night," knowing that Karkaroff would be back any second. Gavin opened the door and led Anna out, their hands slipping out from one another as they headed in opposite to directions toward the girls' and boys' rooms. He had no idea where to go so, he headed back to his own room to find that Nik had left. Exhausted, he slipped beneath his covers and stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep with the thoughts which raced through his mind.

It wasn't really until he really stopped caring about what his peers thought that things got better. Reestablishing his old friendship with Jesse and Gavin had helped a lot, too. Now that it had been a few years, things had gotten much better and he learned to cherish his space as much as his few close friendships.
Lightning flashed again overhead and thunder cracked and he started. "We should get inside before we both catch our death of a cold. Your lips are blue and I'm sure mine aren't any rosier. Maybe we can go to a lounge room or something?" "If you haven't got the patience for stupidity and ignorance, then how the fudge do you put up with Ormand? You're a wonder sometimes, Nik."
She giggled, it struck her that Nik must be worth having as a friend if he was willing to go to such elaborate lengths to gain her friendship. "It would be an honour to be your friend." she concured, feeling a somewhat dorky smile come on. But she knew he wouldn't care, after all, he was her friend and friends never did care about such fickle things.
She hugged him tightly as he hugged her. "I suppose you should feel honoured, in a way. Sad as it is to say, think you're the only person in the world, that I can and could ever truly trust."
Pursing her lips together, she touched them lightly and agreed. "But where will we go? It's after ours and if we're caught....we're screwed." |

| Nik had to laugh. "I grew up with Ormand and everyone has their quirks and I guess I just got used to them. It's not like I don't have my own quirks, too." He shrugged with a chuckle.
His eyes were serious as he spoke. "I do feel honoured to be trusted because it really is a big thing for me. And for you, too, it would seem." He smiled.
"Hmmm... now about where we could talk... You're right. We're liable to get into trouble if we're caught - blasted storm wailing or not... And you don't need any further trouble, especially since you're a Champion." He rocked on his heels and looked around as his eyebrows furrowed.
