Best Friends: A Harry Potter Roleplay (Closed~)

Hogwarts experienced peace after the final battle between Harry Potter and Voldemort. New students came in year after year, little year ones who stood nervously in the Entrance Hall awaiting sorting to the four different houses. Rivalry between the Gryffindor and the Slytherin is always rife about the school, but it’s nothing extremely serious. It’s just the occasional sparring and duel. Life at Hogwarts was boring, stale and dull—the only interesting things was Quidditch and the sporadic student getting warded in the hospital wing for some mishap during lesson—not remotely interesting to the graduates of Hogwarts. Until now.

Year 2006. Four new “recruits” join amongst the many new year ones, chatting and lounging around in different compartments, the were chatting with one another, making new friends everywhere. Little did the four little year ones know how their lives are going to be changed by Hogwarts and the other three new students.

Year 2007. All four of them bonded closely with each other even though they were from different houses, namely, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. They were in the same year and all of them had many similar interests even if the Hufflepuff was loyal, the Gryffindor was courageous, the Ravenclaw was smart and the Slytherin was cunning.

Year 2008. Their third year was land marked by many events. First, the Hufflepuff got into a fight with another fellow Hufflepuff when he called the Slytherin a bad name and started attacking her with her wand. Both Hufflepuffs were sent to detention. Secondly, the Ravenclaw invented something that drew them closer to each other. The Ravenclaw invented a diary of sorts that all of them had a copy of. When one of them writes inside, the other three could see it, but others could not see these “notes”. It was a smart way to communicate. Thirdly, the Slytherin started sparring with a Gryffindor for reasons not disclosed by both parties. The Gryffindor (in the group of four) started “raging cold war” against the Slytherin, sometimes arguing and criticizing the Slytherin. The group seem to be on a verge of breaking apart. The last event that happened—it was the one that managed to pull them together. Even closer than before. On a trip to Hogsmeade, all of them got attacked by a werewolf. Unbelievable but true. They fought and cursed and sparred and dueled. They managed to escape and the teachers took care of the rogue werewolf.

School term ended. And the school holidays started.

And this roleplay starts where the school term ends. All four of them are on a journey on the Hogwarts Express, back towards home and towards their family members whom they haven’t seen for almost a year already.

I’m looking for three other very VERY SERIOUS players for three characters—two boys and a girl. You’ll have to choose which house you want to belong to. No sorting, nothing at all. Just choose the house yourself. However, I’ve already taken up the Slytherin house, so you’ll have to choose the three other remaining houses. Please also be reminded that this is on a first-come-first-serve basis and all characters are 14 years old. Also, you can be a pure-blood, half-blood or muggle-born. Just write it in the profile where I specified. Post your profile in this thread and PM ME A SAMPLE OF ONE OF YOUR ROLEPLAY POSTS. I’ll be harsh when choosing suitable players, because I want serious and constant players. But please don’t hold it against me. Also, if you have any questions, you’re welcome to PM me.

If you're going to demand "perfect spelling," then I suggest you be prepared to deliver it yourself... sorry, but that sort of thing annoys me, especially when it's hypocritical.

Anyway, the main point is that I would suggest lightening up on the rules if you want to have a decent group join up. I would think about joining if you'd consider my suggestion.


O heart, lament not, for this world is only metaphorical.
O soul, grieve not, for this abode is only transient.

-Nothing showing on the outside-
OOOOOOOOOOCunning
The sorting hat would not sort me into Slytherin without me having some qualities of the Slytherin house, would it? I bet not. So there. I admit I’m cunning. And I love the fact that I’m smart—all the more to outwit you with, dear. I’ve betrayed many “friends” but I don’t regret it. One thing I’ll never do in my cunning is to cross my three best friends.

OOOOOOOOOOPerfectionist
I want everything to be perfect, no matter homework, schoolwork etc. If it’s a part of my life, it has to be perfect. Nobody understands this perfectionist streak in me and well, I don’t think there’s any need to ever bother explaining. This has aid me in my studies, always prompting me to be the top in everything. However, it’s also my downfall, because of all the time I’m obsessing over being perfect, time runs out and I don’t have enough time to complete my homework.

-Something dying on the inside-
>>I come from a rich, pure-blood family. My parents assure me that there isn’t any drop of muggle blood in my heritage. I have one brother. As he turned ten, eleven, he has no magic power to speak of. My parents knew he was a squib. They were so ashamed of him that they killed him and buried him in the courtyard. I was seven at that time. Unable to do anything but watch in horror.<<
>>I was younger than my brother and my parents were over the moon when my magic exploded out of me once and broke my mother’s wand. I remembered crying when I told my mother that I broke her wand. She was so happy that she couldn’t stop beaming. I remembered being confused at not being punished or scolded.<<
>>Soon after, my letter to Hogwarts arrived. Holding the “shopping list” in my pudgy hands, my parents drove me to Diagon Alley and we started buying things I would need for a Hogwarts school year. I was so excited! Finally, I’ve got my own wand. Coincidentally, it was the first wand I tried—a yew wand, with a core of phoenix feather, its crisp and is 12¼ inches. We went to Mdm Malkin’s robe shop and then off to the book store.<<
>>The textbooks for school were all interesting. I spent the rest of the holidays reading up on the chapters and practicing spells—my parents coached me. And I managed to cast a few spells. Sometimes I forgot that my wand is a magical object and I twirl it around carelessly. I caused considerable damaged to the house and my parents forced the spell “reparo” on me. That’s the only spell I remembered learning because it’s difficult to master.<<
>>Packing my trunk was easy—my mother gave a flick of her wrist and all the stuff I needed just flew into my trunk. She then levitated the trunk to the car. And off we went, zooming down the highway to King’s Cross station. As a family, we walked through the pillar and there it was! Hogwarts’ express.<<
>>I towed the trunk and stowed it in one of the compartments. I came out of the train and kissed my parents goodbye. I went back to the train and the compartment I reserved as my own. I found three year ones in there. So then there were two boys and two girls.<<
>>We chatted and instantly became friends. We were together for the whole train ride and I felt attached to them, my first friends in Hogwarts. We took the same boat up to Hogwarts. And all too soon, we were sorted into different houses. I felt some dismay as all of my three friends were sorted into different houses. I didn’t think this friendship would last.<<
>>I don’t know if it’s coincidence or fate or destiny, but all of us had lots of lessons together and then we kept meeting each other all over the school—the library, the Owlery, the lake, and once all of us stayed in Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays. We traversed round the school, finally having it to ourselves. Our friendship grew stronger than ever.<<
>>During our third year, one of best friends, the Hufflepuff, defended me when I was attacked by another Hufflepuff. Then, the Ravenclaw invented a diary of sorts that drew us even closer. Communication was easy even if we were miles and miles apart. At about the end of the school year, I dueled with another Gryffindor. He stole the only item I have of my brother—a picture of him. And he destroyed it. In a fit of anger, I cursed him. I got sent to detention for it and house points deducted, but it was my best friend unwillingness to hear my side of the story that hurt the most. I was ignored half the time and all of us got into many disagreements. I can’t believe that our three years relationship would just fall apart like that. Boy was I glad that put friendship was re-affirmed after a werewolf attacked all of us.<<
>>I never told anybody about my parents killing my brother. If he’s alive, he would be seventeen already. Sometimes, I really miss him. Maybe it’s time to tell someone?<<

hear the wind breeze through the rustling leaves; [Full name- Jeremiah Theodore Diddle]
whispering your favourite sound; [Jerim]
everything’s set in stone; [age- fourteen]
but it all started; [11.11.1995]
with my love in tow; [no tattoos, no scars, no piercings.]
love me or hate me; ["Sarcasm is the lowest form of intelligence, but stupid people don't understand it."]
you have to admit I’m special; [Ravenclaw]
and that’s all I really want you to; [Half-blood]

-Nothing showing on the outside-
OOOOOOOOOOTolerant
Although Jeremiah is cleverer than some he is still tolerant with those that were not blessed with as much cleverness or outside-the-box thinking as a Ravenclaw. He is tolerant of people's stupid decisions and requests and is still kind to them as well. Without tolerance, Jeremiah would not feel he was deserving of the Ravenclaw title to his name, as being clever on its own will not necesarilly make you a success in the world if you can not deal with others.

OOOOOOOOOOQuick witted
In a verbal spar Jeremiah is your best bet. Never failing to have a response to your banter or put downs, he happily aids his friends in combat of the non-violent type. Jeremiah manages to out wit most, unless confronted with a fellow ravenclaw with the same remarkable talent then he is often tangled into a never ending argument. However he knows that he is younger than a lot of other students, and refuses to argue with anyone more than two years his elder.

-Something dying on the inside-
(ten significant events that happened in character’s life—you can include secrets!)
>> Jeremiah's mother is a muggle and his father a pure-blood. This led to quite a shock for his mother when Jeremiah got his letter at eleven years of age. <<
>>Jeremiah spent several minutes arguing with the sorting hat between the decisions of Ravenclaw and Slytherin in his inital sorting ceremony. <<
>> Jeremiah used his quickly developing charmwork to create a diary in which only his three closest friends could write and read.<<
>> Jeremiah accidentally scribbled in the diary one charms class, confessing his attraction for a Gryffindor girl sitting in the front row, never to live it down from his Hufflepuff companion.<<
>> On his fourteenth birthday, his mother arranged for a Zonkos cake to be delivered to hogwarts unbeknown to her that it exploded when the candles were blown out. Jeremiah again, has not lived that one down.<<
>> Jeremiah began serious study on his transfiguration skills and has so far managed to transform many of his own limbs to began disguising himself. He is yet to succesfully transfigure his entire body. <<
>> Jeremiah barely passed Herbology in second year and had to begin tutoring in the subject for his third, much to his own dismay.<<
>>Jeremiah now has another baby sister- his mother gave birth to Elva Louise Diddle.<<
>>Jeremiah’s other sister Vuruca Maree Diddle is turning eleven over the summer yet to come and yet received her Hogwarts letter in the last week of Jeremiah’s term.<<
>>Getting onto the Hogwarts Express to head home for the summer Jeremiah tripped on his Slytherin friends foot and smacked his head onto a nearby seat, he now has a horrible bloodied cut on his forehead. Great start to the summer.<<

hear the wind breeze through the rustling leaves; Nadine Ophellia Virginia Adamantis
whispering your favourite sound; Nova
everything’s set in stone; 14
but it all started; October 31st 1995
with my love in tow; she has two silver outlined stars on the inside of both her wrists its sort of a birth mark
love me or hate me; My friends are my life destroy one and you’ll find me like a cat coming back with another life to tear you down with my claws
you have to admit I’m special; Gryffindor
and that’s all I really want you to; ¾ blood. Her father was a pure blood and her mother was a half blood

-Nothing showing on the outside-
OOOOOOOOOOOptimistic
I love to look on the bright side of things. The sorting hat could tell that in my and thought about putting me in Hufflepuff. I hate to see people sad and love to cheer them up. I’ve been called a ray of sunshine for I do not allow people to wallow in self pity when I am around. I try to see the good side in everything even when it appears that there isn’t a good side to be had.

OOOOOOOOOOBrave
Some people might call my bravery foolhardy and stupid but I think it is a very good trait to have. Like the lion I am brave going after anything that scares me to try and face that fear. I’ll always dive head first into things and jump to save my friends even if it puts me at risk. The sorting hat could see this and put my in Gryffindor because my bravery is great. I try not to let my fears over come me I try to make myself stronger by facing them. Fear is not a weakness it is a state of mind.

-Something dying on the inside-
(ten significant events that happened in character’s life—you can include secrets!)
When she was 10 Nova made a turtle turn purple causing her mother to faint in happiness.
She learned to fly at age 9 and promptly fell off her broom the first time making her more determined to learn to fly.
Her Aunt died in the room across then hall when she was 7 making her experience death for the first time.
Once when she was 3 a muggle boy stole her cookie and she turned him into a toad for five seconds causing all of the neighbors to have to have their memories whiped.
Her mom bought her a snowy white owl with green eyes before she left for Hogwarts. It was her best friend.
Meeting her three best friends was the happiest moment of her life and was all that she talked about for a month to her mother.
She was a twin but by a freak accident her twin died in the womb.
Once a slytherin boy stole my locket with a picture of my parents in it. I put a bat bogey hex on him and got detention for a week.
Getting sorted into Gryffindor I wanted to be in one of the other houses to join my friends but I was also happy to be in the same house that Harry Potter had been in.
She was up in the room of requirement once by accident singing her heart away when a boy she wasn’t sure whom walked in. She was red for hours on end after that.

-Nothing showing on the outside-
OOOOOOOOOOLoyal
If you’re my friend, you’re my friend for life. I will never cross you and I believe it’s a sin to betray a friend who trust you so much with his/her secrets. Even if I don’t like you, I don’t think I have the heart to betray you. Your secret is safe with me, cross my heart and hope to die.

OOOOOOOOOODetermined
I’ll get it done my way, no questions asked. I hold true to my and principles and I would never ever let go of them. It’s like asking me to cut away part of my flesh. People say I have a stubborn streak in me, but I believe it’s more of a determination to get things done my way. Period. I don’t care about what you think.

-Something dying on the inside-
>>Both my parents are muggle so you can expect their shock when a letter arrived from Hogwarts. Thank god it didn’t come in the form of owl posts. Seriously. My parents actually thought it was a hoax.<<
>>A wizard came two days after and he accompanied us to Diagon Alley. And then he left us to do our shopping. Being practical as my parents, their first stop was the bank where they exchange money for “magic money” and set up a bank account at Gringotts for me. Suddenly I was a wizard and I was rich.<<
>>Soon, it was the day for me to get to Hogwarts. For a parting gift, my parents bought me my very own pet, an eagle. They actually wanted to get me an owl, I guess but they accidentally bought me an eagle. Happy to have my own pet, I didn’t mind that having an eagle instead of an owl is super duperly weird.<<
>>I chatted onboard the Hogwart’s Express. Resulting in making three new friends which I;ve grown accustomed to and became very close to even if all of us were in different houses.<<
>>My favourite class would be Care for Magical Creatures, followed be Charms. Both classes are ones that I score well in. I don’t like History of Magic though score pretty well for it. I’m taking DADA, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Care for Magical Creatures, History of Magic and Herbology. All the common classes that are hugely popular. I was happy that I got in.<<
>>I play Quidditch. I’m in Hufflepuff’s team and I’m one of the three chasers. I do my work well, I supposed, so the Captain chose me. I love Quidditch. It’s so out of this world that I could tell all my cousins about it and they’ll ask, “Are you talking about the new video game?” And they’ll have no idea why I’m laughing my head off.<<
>>I have my share of accidents in Hogwarts. I fell into the lake once and got caught by a Grindylow which broke my arm. It took the matron two seconds to fix it and it was as good as new. The other major accident I had was when I fell down from my broom during Quidditch practice. I was out of running for one whole week. Ouch.<<
>>The first ever time I dueled with another person without the supervision of a teacher happened in the Great Hall. Because he was trying to curse my Slytherin friend for outwitting him in some kind of battle, so I had no choice but to stop him. He realized it was me and just whipped around to curse me. Too bad. I won. But both of us got detention from our Head of House.<<
>>It was funny when the Ravenclaw invented a diary to get us connected and he wrote down a love poem for his crush in there. I laughed a bit at his poem before it faded. But (cross my heart) I didn’t tell anyone. Though I teased him quite mercilessly about his crush for a long time after that.<<
>>Now that we’re going home, I’m missing magic and Hogwarts a whole lot. And yeah, I’ll miss my friends too. But we’ll keep in contact through the diary, I guess. Also, my parents promised to bring me to Europe and to stay over at my friends’ house until school reopens. Two promising events to look forward to.<<

What’s Harry Potter without Voldemort? So now, I have invented a character for the role of the “big bad wolf”. It’s Voldemort’s daughter. Her name is Kite Tom Digby, the daughter of Tom Riddle and Jessica Digby. It was after Tom graduated from Hogwarts and was working at Borgin and Burkes. She was a sweet and pretty lady who fell head over heels in love with Tom. Unfortunately, Tom left her when she told him that she was pregnant. Nothing was ever heard from Jessica as she ran away to have her daughter…

Kite grew up to be evil, like her father. But she wasn’t like him, she just wanted money(she lived in poverty) and fame. She felt that dying was part of living, unlike her dad. But still, she became as evil as him, or maybe even more evil.

The characters are going to meet her when camping. And also during a tournament, sort of like the triwizard tournament in GOF.

There will be five events altogether, unlike the three in the Triwizard tournament. And the characters will meet Kite at the fourth event, so everyone would have one event to design. It doesn’t have to be original, it can be an edited or simpler version of something you’ve read before.

So what do you say? Post your response below!~
__________________________________________________________________________________
For my event:
It'll be a maze, in an enclosed "bubble". Water will be added steadily into this "bubble" and to avoid losing or even drowning, the person must find his/her way out of the maze in thirteen minutes. (There can only be four persons in the bubble at each time) Magic is allowed but there is a limited amount of spells that one can use. Of which, the bubble-head charm is not allowed. It defeats the purpose of this "underwater maze" if it's allowed. There will be no beasts to fight and duel. It's just you, the water and the exit. Don't forget, the bubble will be as tall as you are, or a few centimetres taller than you. The walls of the maze will be as tall as the roof of the bubble is; to prevent one from swimming up to the roof to find an escape route. The only thing you're allowed is your wand, anybody found with other objects, like Gillyweed, will be instantly disqualified. Winners of this event are allowed to tell the others how they managed to escape, as the walls of the maze can be easily altered and the escape route changed. There is only two routes by which one can escape through.

**For people who wants an added challenge, a stone, half one's weight, will be tied to one's ankle to hamper one's movement. But that's optional.
__________________________________________________________________________________

Hah. Now all we need is a name for this tournament, the few other events and a reason for Kite's evilness. Yaye! So, quickly post, guys.

Love,

I had a character similar to Kite in attributes, he was the son of the original character you've seen my website of intoxicatedSmiles, though the reason he was so bent on ruining things was because of the Ministry and how they readily destroyed his family (his mother being a Death Eater) and were willing to kill (via Dementor, of course) without taking into account the control Voldemort had. That wouldn't apply to Kite directly, but it could be a similar approach in taking on the Ministry - as in the beginning, that was one of Voldemorts very real goals, yes?
So a foundation to build off could start there - the Ministry's inability to hold onto one direction or attitude to anything in particular? It's also how things like terrorism start, all political. So just an idea. :)

As for my event: A battle of the mind between wizards.
The event is a duel of sorts, although no physical spells can be used directly to win over your opponent. Ie: No expelliarmus, no petrificus totalus, etc. Only skills affecting mental state and the physical surroundings of your opponent may be altered to overcome the opposition.
For example: (Don't copy the example. The spells can still be used.) Engorgio - enlarging parts of your surroundings, ie: the trees/vines/logs in the jungle scene.
Or the opposite- reducio- to make things smaller, ie: alleyways.
The surroundings are an enchantment which opens to the possibilities of affects magic can have on things.

All of the contestants will be pitted against one another at the same time in an ever changing environment (enchantment, of course.) The starting scene will resemble an overgrown jungle ie: the amazon, and soon change to the Sahara desert and from there move onto what resembles Knockturn Alley (dark, dingy and overcluttered with tight, thin alleys EVERYWHERE) from there it will move to the busy streets of London and if there is still contest beyond this point it will become a copy of the room of mirrors from the Department of mystery, giving the excelled student a chance to drive the opposition to paranoia with mentality afflicting curses.
the idea of these changing elements is for the contestants to harvest them to the best of their ability in relation to the spells they use. The jungle for instance - you could use stampeding sounds to drive the contestant to think they were in danger, pleading to exit.

As soon as a student makes some suggestion they want to be out, they are. Poof.
Such statements that would end their challenge are: "Help me!" "Get me out of here." "Please make it stop." "Leave me alone." Etc. The possibilities of trauma this event can ensue are endless.
