Whoo hoo! All right, here we go! Launchin' my first official RPG on snitchseeker. Cheers, anyone? ... Or not.

So, I'm not a huge fan of incredibly drawn-out plots, so I'm keeping this one pretty brief.

Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have both been temporarily closed because both schools have decided to undergo additional construction in order to allow more students to attend. The construction is taking quite long, however; muggles have been becoming increasingly suspicious about the goings-on in their areas. Therefore, the construction process is taking much longer in order to create the semblance that there is nothing magical at all going on. As a result of all this nonsense, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students must attend Hogwarts this year. The school will be filled with new students, and drama is sure to ensue. Friendships will emerge, romances will blossom, and enemies will surface! (Insert intimidating music here). So, that's it! Let's see where this goes!

Also, a few quick things:
-Follow Snitchseeker rules
-Be committed!
-Only made-up characters, please!
-No organized relationships! It's more fun to actually not know who your character is destined to fall madly in love with.

If you're curious, I'm thinking most students should be 5th - 7th years

Capiche? Awesome. =)

Leslee shook her head. No. Eet would appear more, erm - eet would bee better eef zey 'ad geeven us all a map. 'ow are we supposed to know all of zees? She shook her head slightly and poured herself a glass of water for something to do.

Cedric · 07-10-2009, 05:49 AM

Dmitri never really counted much on luck - he wasn't even sure if he believed in it; yet, his meeting Deedee seemed too perfect to deem coincidental. It seemed as though they just.. fit. Different in so many ways, and similar - as he had been finding out - in many others. For once, he tried not to decipher the perplexity behind it; it felt too good to question. "I'm sure you're better than you give yourself credit for." His dark eyes peered at her from underneath dark eyelashes. Dmitri had always been private about things, his artwork being no exception. It was rare that he would even let his parents see his work; and that's why he thought it odd that his next words bubbled to his mouth with not a second's hesitation. "Yes, you may." He smiled at her, unable to keep such a simple gesture from draping across his face.

"Yes. I absolutely need a mab, Durmstrang ish smallerr dan here end it had taken me a full yearr to memorishe everywherr." Arkady agreed. "But guesh we should find out ourselvesh. So, ready for adventure?" he said with a wink and a smile and offered his hand.

LaFresita · 07-10-2009, 05:45 PM

Leslee giggled slightly and accepted his hand. More zan ready, she replied before standing up. She was glad she had found somebody who knew how to be a gentleman. More often than not she was surrounded by those who were rude or impolite.

Dunya laughed. "Nah, I've just seen some tricks in matches. Though I won't deny that I tried some and succeeded... Still, I think you got something to show." she said with a smile.

Dunya looked around too. She looked around. "OK... but uh... I don't know any house here. Therefore don't know where to go." she admitted when he offered his hand. She held his hand while thinking 'I do know where to go, to your house.' "Does it really matter which house I go for sleeping?" she asked looking confused where to go. She was in "clever" house in Durmstrang and she had no idea which house was clever here.

OOC: My name is Deniz

"Oh, didn't they tell you?" Hanz asked her frowning, they should have he thougth. He held her hand and started moving outside the Great Hall, "If they didn't tell you, that means they don't mind which house you go to, which means you're welcome at our house Gryffindor!" He said smiling, "House of the brave." He added chuckling, they were walking up the marble staircase now, which was a bit crowded with students.

"Oh that's so sweet of you!" Deedee said beaming at his face, and she was shocked at how she felt towards him. If she wasn't mistaken she actually liked him, liked him more than she was supposed to like a guy she just met. Yet she was Deedee, and she didn't mind in the slightest, haven't she always been the adventrous type but Dmitri wasn't another adventure, Dmitri was sent for her yes that's it she thought and smiled at the thought. "What are you thinking about?" She asked him curiously.

“Then, let’sh go!” Arkady said and his hand in Leslee’s, he headed to the marble stairs, not knowing where he was going.

He said smiling, "House of the brave." He added chuckling; they were walking up the marble staircase now, which was a bit crowded with students.

Dunya frowned, trying to remember if such a thing was told. “No… I don’t think so…” she said slowly, still thinking. “What the heck.” she added after a while. “What harm can it do anyway?” She smiled and walked to the stairs with him. “Ah, Gryffindor. Brave people. I like the way it sounds. Oh, and you also have to teach me everywhere in the castle. I don’t know anywhere! I can only find the way out.” She said, her eyes at moving staircases.

Cedric · 07-12-2009, 07:29 PM

"I am thinking that I'm very happy that I asked you to the dance." Dmitri smiled before adding, " ..and that you said 'yes.'" He waited for a few moments, then met her eyes again. "Well, there was one more thing that I was thinking.." The thought of whether or not he should say it crossed his mind, but the brilliant azure of her eyes seemed to bore into him, and he knew that he couldn't keep it from her for long.

Leslee smiled and followed him. She couldn't have stopped smiling if she wanted to - but she didn't want to, so it was fine. After a few minutes, they were on the fifth floor, and Leslee was peering around at the moving portraits with interest. She had never seen such an interesting place before. It looked old but very historic and she loved that. The castle wasn't all she was interested in, though.

"Don't worry, I'll be with you as long as you want me to be there." Hanz said smiling, "Well If they didn't tell you, then it seems that it doesn't matter." He grinned broadly now, he brushed a hair out of his face with his other hand. They walked toward the Gryffindor tower together, hand in hand looking as the best of friends or the best of lovers Hanz thought of that and smiled inspite of himself. They turned towards the portrait hole, "This is the secret entrance to the Gryffindor tower and it requires a password so you can pass through." He explained, "Popbutter is the current one." He said and turned toward the portrait hole as it swung forwards to admit them in, "Ladies First." He said corteously.

"I'm glad you did too!" She said smiling sweetly, as a matter of fact she was more than happy a feeling she coldn't explain. She was gazing at him intently, waiting for him to continue, when he didn't she said, "Which is .. ".
A small smile drew at the corner of her mouth as she waited for his answer.

Cedric · 07-13-2009, 03:56 AM

"Which is..." Dmitri began, but then thought twice. "A surprise," he finished. Even he hardly believed the words emanating from his mouth; never was he one for surprises, giving or receiving them, but his mind was set on the matter. "But, anyway. I was thinking about the robes for this dance," he said, broaching a separate topic. "Is there a place I may go to purchase new dress robes?"

phoenix_tears · 07-13-2009, 09:33 AM

"Surprise ?" Deedee asked her brows furrowing, her head bent to one side. "I love surprises!" She then added smiling enthusiastically. "Oh yeah, there has to be a Hogsmeade visit before the ball so we could all buy dress robes." She answered him, but then she remembered that he might not even know what Hogsmeade was in the first place. "Hogsmeade is the village here near the school, we sometimes go on weekends there when we're allowed. There are all the kinds of shops you could dream of there." She explained, "When we go there I'll take you to the Shrieking Shack which is said to be the most haunted place in Britain." She added smiling, she guessed that Dmitri would have fun visiting those places and even if he didn't she'll make sure he did.

Arkady looked around in amazement. Durmstrang was not this big! How was they supposed to find everything here? It seemed that he would totally be late to many lessons. He had a worried face all way on to the fifth floor, then he looked at Leslee's pretty smile. His expression got softer too. He looked at the corridors. "Shall we check the end of corridors, or should we follow the crowd to upstairs?" Crowd was really appealing now. To follow some Hogwartians was probably a better idea, but he wanted to have her idea too.

Dunya realised she was really enjoying his company. She smiled at him when he muttered he'd always be there, then the idea of 'Every man says so on the very first day.' popped up. She immediately shoed that idea. Hanz seemed more sensible than any other men. She tried to see everywhere at a time. When they finally reached to Gryffindor tower, she said "You know, even if I remember the password, I can never find the way. The castle is too big! Durmstrang is smaller." Then she stepped in the common room. It was warm and pretty!

Hmmm.... what would be their best plan of action? Well, I zink we should follow somebody eef we can - do you know whezzer zees 'Ravenclaws' are any different than anyone else 'ere? She had no idea how they were grouped off, but she hoped they were and that Arkady would know about it.

Cedric · 07-14-2009, 03:48 AM

OOC: Do you guys want to skip to Hogsmeade soon, or keep RPing where we are now?

"I trust there's a Hogsmeade trip scheduled soon, yes?" Dmitri had a habit of completing things right away, without drawing them out; and the task of finding adequate dress robes was no different. He smiled at the sound of this Shrieking Shack place. "In all of Britain? That's impressive." Though he was most eager about having Deedee as company. "Just as long as we don't get murdered. It'd be a shame to die right before such an anticipated event." The corners of his mouth drew up slightly, a sure sign that his last remark wasn't completely serious.

dan arjay · 07-15-2009, 04:57 AM

Name: Alexander von Kristoff
Year: 6th year
School: Durmstrang Institute of Magic

Personality:

Alex is the silent type person. He doesn't indulge into a conversation when he is not addressed to. But he is a very bright young wizard from a family of Aurors. Once you know him, he is the best of friends that you will get.

Alexander walks from the second floor towards the Great Hall. He was about to enter the Hall when he decided to ditch a meal and wander around the castle and look for something interesting to do. He was bored to death for he is missing his school.

StarShine · 07-16-2009, 11:01 AM

Arkady thought for a while. Wait--what were their colors? Black and yellow? No, the animal was a raven which flew in the sky... so that'd make blue and brown, wouldn't it? "I fink their colors arr blue and brown, yesh? So, we should be looking forr blue and brown uniforms." he informed when he saw one. He almost dragged Leslee to that kid's way. When they finally reached to the entrance, the kid was long gone and they were facing the statue of eagle. "Got anni idea how to get in?" he asked to Leslee.

LaFresita · 07-16-2009, 04:03 PM

Okay, she said before he dragged her towards one such person. After following him in dizzying circles up a staircase, he was nowhere to be found. Leslee leaned forward and looked at the eagle knocker. At his question she shrugged slightly. Eef we knock, would zey let us een?

"That's exactly what I'm here for." Hanz said smiling, he walked over to his favorite chair by the fire and beckoned her to follow him. He noticed something on the notice board but was too lazy to go check it. He waited for Dunya to come then asked her, "How does Durmstrang look like?"

Deedee laughed at his comment, just then she realised that they were the only ones left in the Great Hall except for scattered couples. It was kind of uncomfortable for them sitting in the midst of kissing students but she didn't care much. "I guess there should be, we have to check the notice board for that." and then she added, "Let's go to the common room then." although she made no effort to stand up.

ooc: so sorry for being late, trouble with the stupid internet. So yeah I guess we go back to the common rooms and then just jump to the Hogsmeade visit.

dan arjay · 07-17-2009, 02:29 AM

OOC: Durmstrang is an all boys school... How come there is a girl there?

Alex ran down towards the hut and then up again to get his appetite back. He did that for five rounds and then when he was all hungry, he wipes off his sweat and rest for a while in the courtyard and then entered the hall. He was first amazed when he saw this Great Hall. And also this castle. It is bigger than that of their own. He then sat at the Gryffindor table and prepared a meal for himself.

Knocking seemed to be the only solution now. "Uh, okay... let's try." Arkady said and knocked. Then it talked! With shock and slight fear, Arkady backed off a few steps. He was caught by surprise, he couldn't catch what it had said. He turned to Leslee, unable to talk.

OOC: The eagle at Raven's entrance asks a riddle, yes? I couldn't come up with any :/

OOC 2: Before Dunya answers to Hanz, is it so? I've just checked Wikipedia and no such thing is mentioned...

LaFresita · 07-19-2009, 02:29 AM

Leslee nearly leaped in shock as the door actually talked to him. She looked at Arkady with questioning eyes. 'Weech came first - ze pheenix or ze flame?' What is zat all about? She frowned slightly. Was this how to get into all the common rooms?

ooc: its a question, yes, and durmstrang was only all-boys in the movie.

StarShine · 07-20-2009, 01:21 PM

What? What? Arkady couldn't really understand Leslee's sentence too. 'Fiiniiks o' zeh fleim?' He just looked at her face without understanding. Then the eagle talked. "You may answer the question, or simply wait here for another student to hear the answer." it said and winked. "What--do theesh guys really enter wif a question?" His look turned an amazement then and said "Could we please hav the question again?" The eagle said it, but Arkady's frown got deeper. He blushed and asked to Leslee with a embarrassed expression. "What ish a, er, fiimiiks?" Man, he had to learn animals--fast!

OOC: OK, I'm continuing with Dunya as a Durmstrang and also continue with its location in Russia far north near to Scandinavia 'cos, sorry to let you guys down but it is said so only in movies. And I believe books are more important here.

From HP Wikipedia: "The above may be a clue to Durmstrang's location. The flag of Albania (which is near Bulgaria) also depicts a double headed eagle (but Albania's weather doesn't match the Durmstrang uniform since the country is located next to Greece), as do the flag of Imperial Russia and the Coats of arms of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Furthermore, Durmstrang's coat of arms also features Cyrillic characters, indicating that the school is located in a Slavic country.
In the movie, Professor Dumbledore states that Hogwarts is to be joined by their "friends from the North", which puts Bulgaria into dispute somewhat. This might imply Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark."

Also in the movie, it appears that Durmstrang is an all-boy school, although this is not so in the book.

LaFresita · 07-20-2009, 02:11 PM

Leslee frowned slightly. She could only think of one thing that sounded like that in English and that was... Ze bird? I believe zer ees a bird called a fenix, no? But as for ze flame. I 'ave no idea what in ze world zat ees.

phoenix_tears · 07-21-2009, 08:37 AM

Hanz looked around at Dunya, she was still looking around at the Gryffindor common room. "Come on here, Dunya." He called at her.

ooc: Deniz, I guess it was an all boys school in the movies only, so yeah continue with Dunya as a Durmstrang student

. Oh and sorry for the lame post, I didn't what to say

, and I can't write ooc comments without a post!

Huh? A bird? There was a bird like that? Wait--riight, the bird! "Fenix, yes!" Yeah, he knew what that was! "And... doeshn't flame mean 'fire'? And since the fenix is born from its ashes as fire... That ish some kint off--" He trailed off. How was he going to tell that 'egg and chicken'? Maybe French people as well had that phrase. Yes, better to try. "--egg and chicken, you knof." His pronunciation was becoming more and more Russian as he spoke. He was never able to talk English properly anyway, he'd let it go long ago. "Butt... seriously, which came firsht?" He started pacing as he always did when thinking.

Gryffindor common room was great... All that bright colors and heat that never seemed to be in Russia. Dunya loooved here! She hadn't realised she was simply staring at the room and doing nothing. She jumped slightly when Hanz called her. "Oh, I..." She didn't know how to answer as her mind was still on the room. He had asked 'How is Durmstrang?', yes? Yes. "Well Durmstrang is a castle too, though it is much smaller. But we have bigger area, its quite nice to wander around in winter." She was talking slowly, still looking at the room and Hogwartians. She then turned back to Hanz and sat next to him, still in trance. She was wondering how Hogwarts winter would be. It seemed that it'd be warmer.
