"I step away from my computer for (two minutes/half an hour/three hours/a day) and suddenly when I get back, something really weird happened and nobody will tell me, and I don't want to go through like, (10/15/100) new posts just to find out what! Tell me now! Somebody! Anybody! HEEEELLLLP!"

Sound familiar? Do not dispair, this thread is here to help you catch up with the various goings-on in the Hogwarts School RP.
------

The school term has started, and there are a few changes in staff, plus the addition of a Ministry representative (Nora Leiden). She seems to want to inquire on how students feel about the safety of Hogwarts, though some staff and students appear to be quite wary of her. Hogsmede is undergoing serious reconstruction after being trashed/vandalized over the summer. Hendrik appears to know who is responsible, but is not telling.

The Daily Prophet includes a rather scandalous article about the past events at Hogwarts, written by Dempsey Doodle. Ravenclaw Prefect Ashlie seems to have taken the greatest (at least most noticable) offense to the article, and is probably not the only one to have decided that the article and Miss Leiden's presence are somehow linked. Miss Leiden has gotten approval from the Headmaster to inspect the staff's classes. She targeted all the classes with the ex-ghost profs and Rae.

The student paper, SS Quill, contains an article about the arrival of Miss Leiden (before that, an introductory article about the beginning of term) and an editorial written by Ashlie in response to Dempsey Doodle's article.

Despite attempts from some, Leiden has now found out who exactly let down Hogwart's defenses (i.e. opened the door) resulting in the chaotic fight in the castle against Lord Voldemortist. Professor Rae admitted to it (to the horror of several students).

Leiden inspected Divination and Potions classes, and now has decided to suspend Airlia, Riddle, Lainley and Rae from teaching duties, getting replacements from the Ministry. Rae has yet to be ousted, but it seems like this latest move has opened a rather nasty Pandora's Box of emotions, expecially on the student's end.

Quote:

Professor Kris Airlia --> Sophie_Melita
Professor Marcella Riddle --> Rhiane Shwmae
Professor Cassandra Rae --> Josef_Perry
Profesior Angelica Lainey --> Berty Borr
Professor Bree --> Kali_O'Hara
Headmaster Hendrik --> Riddock

(thanks to Nadia, this time quicker on the uptake than me. *bows*)

Looks like students are channelling some serious emotion into productiveness, several first/second years backed up by Professor Bree redecorating Berty Borr's office (and Berty himself). Alas, it has cost them, now Bree is out...

...that is not to say that's the only thing going on. Ashlie and Terry are scheming together to form somethign akin to Dumbledore's Army--SAMMO. (Students Against Meddling Ministry Officials. Quaint.)

Zekke snuck into several professor's offices (Rae, Airlia in particular) and stole a whole bunch of stuff back. So far, all he's returned is Rae's photo, but Terry is getting the blame from Perry for stealing it (oops!).

UPDATE: Most of the stuff has been returned. Most.

Hubert, Airlia's House-elf, was ordered to clean up the...artwork in Borr's "office", and, shall we say, pitched in to the revolution. Alas, Borr is a smart one, and is now howing in fury (with ripped pants) towards wherever Airlia may be. Borr wants to take Hubert away from Airlia (legally of course. Of course...) and Marcella has gone and stuck a "kick me" sign on his ripped trousers. He suceeded...or did he? Only time will tell.

All classes run by the Ministry reps so far have either been rediculously basic, or a joke. And some students have OWLS and NEWTS, you know!

Sidenote: Ron (gryffindor_1) sank his boat in a lake and was eaten by the Giant Squid. Or at least, dragged under. Do not try this at home, folks.

Remember Lee the Hufflepuff? He's been caught for doing something (besides the painting incident) and Shwame has got him to be a spy for the Ministry. He's supposed to ferret out information about last term...but will he? He's already snapped in the halls, and is telling Professor Bree + Slytherin Prefects some sketchy details about his predicament in Bree's office.

ADDITION: Melita's got Veritaserum! (Run, all you children! Run!)

Lee's been doped with Veritaserum and he's let slip who put up that wonderful poster of Melita and Borr in Hogesmade. He's also told her about SAMMO, and now that Shwame is in the SAMMO meeting, the members are trying to play it cool, like it was indeed a "Homework Group".

Bree has gotten into trouble for instructing when she is suspended. Now she can't leave the castle under any circumstances. SAMMO is...under survaillence? A Ravenclaw (Dark_Chimera) was listening in on the whole thing (i think).

Slytherin prefects Jaren and Zekke have brought one of Melita's cookies to Airlia for scientific analysis.

Lee was dragged off by Borr to a Borr dentention (Dun dun DUNN!) And Ganymede set off a slew of Dungbombs+a portable swamp in Borr's office, which has been cleaned up by Jaren before anyone notices.

Headmaster Hendrik has been ordered to step down in accordance to Clause which-one-is-it-now...also because Leiden likes him, but Hendrik (as we all know) is in love with Professor Pheonix. This has Professor Riddle in a hissy fit, to put it lightly, but the student body has not been informed yet. Well, directly anyway.

UPDATE: A trial is to be held soon by "Headmistress" Leiden, the accused being Professors Riddle, Lainley and Airlia. She is currently looking for student testifiers.

Plain outrageous insulting of Bertie Borr during HoM class resulted in a bunch of students (two Slyths, one Huffie, one Claw) landing themselves in detention. One Slytherin seems to be sucking up to Borr quite a bit...

Professors seem to prefer the Hog's Head to the Three Broomsticks. Looks like everyone has been in there...a small society which formed with the goal of freeing Hubert was busted by Josef Perry, and Lainley, who was "helping" somewhat with the Polyjuice Potion the students were brewing, is now confined to quarters. The kiddies got detention.

THE TRIAL HAS BEGUN! Check the post below this one for details on the trial.

Update: School ball (blech!) Leiden has not-so-wisely announced that the ex-ghost profs will not be returning, and Rae + Bree have been fired.

Current weather: Summer?

Status of student body: Curse you! You'll pay for this! May Merlin's Thumbs Deliver Justice! [/random cornyness]

Leeness · 02-16-2005, 11:49 PM

yeh they will do because on one of the walls they signed it and all those peopels names will get into trouble, i didn't sign it luckily

*Hermy* · 02-17-2005, 01:26 AM

Okay I have a question with the RP, what's the point of the Ministry of taking other Professor's places?

Oh, there are many conspiracies on that one. :nod:

1. Getting profs out of the way to question them.
2. Taking over Hogwarts.
3. Making sure that the profs will in no way endanger the student's precious little minds with exposure to dark magic. [/sarcasm]

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 02-17-2005, 02:45 AM

Question: Did Borr, after being 'attacked', visited the Slytherin Commons only, or all of them? That's why Kashi said that me thinks.

Starbreeze · 02-17-2005, 02:49 AM

No one attacked him we only painted his room, and Mr Borr himself but just a lil. stop thinking we attacked him ppl! He did go to the Ravenclaw Common Room... He yelled at us than he went to Miss Leiden's office. We did not attack him. lol

babydriver27 · 02-17-2005, 03:08 AM

Mr. Borr "blessed" us Huffies with a visit to our commons and with what looked like Ralph Lauren's new spring line of fashion. Too bad, the hot pink on his face clashed horribly with his ensemble.

*hugs Bree* I feel the love!!!

*cracks up laughing*
BRAVO! ENCORE! BEAUTIFUL update up there. Artisitical and everything! *bows to you*

- and you get extra points for quoting Pink Floyd! *gives you one hundred hidratating cookies* ... don't look at me like that, I'm on a diet - that's all I have. *sniff*

So now we know Borr visited the Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw (and probably Gryffindor) Common Rooms all and it was not only preference to blame Slytherin first *mock cleans sweat from forehead* What a relief.

serenasnape · 02-17-2005, 02:30 PM

Talking about Borr.... yes he visited Gryffindor as well and wielded his cane in our faces! I think it's high time he lost that cane!!!

And for more on him.... I loved this post!!

It's nice to see someone appreciates me around here. -chuckles-

And for punishments, I'm a man of my word.

Oh! And I wouldn't advise stealing my cane. It could be replaced you know - with something even worse.

Cassirin · 02-17-2005, 11:21 PM

No, Mr. Borr's non-RPing self is quite unpleasent. Don't you know who it is yet? *gasp*

Thanks to those of you who came by to give Rae some conversation.

fr2nc1z · 02-18-2005, 04:35 AM

*hits head on desk* Argh, I think Mr. Perry is going to cancel the Dueling Room.. All because I was asking about dueling and DADA, and it got out of context, and ahh... it's a mess :/

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 02-18-2005, 05:06 AM

(Possible) Update: New Quill. Article about Hogsmeade, blames the attack on Voldimortist alone (up to know the only 'oficial' mentioning of Voldimortist being involved).
... and I was quoted! Yay! *feels special*

**Josef Perry** · 02-18-2005, 05:10 AM

I'm sure I would have cancelled the Duelling Arena regardless. Besides, it hasn't happened YET. Don't blame yourself, sweetheart. I sure wish I could incur the hatred of as many of you as Berty. *sigh*

Mr. Borr's non-Rping self resents that comment and would like it struck from the records, thank you very much. -gives you a taste of Mr. Cane-

Quote:

Oh well Borr visited the Ravenclaw Table and asked if the Ravenclaws were the smart ones and Hayley told him that we are all (whole school) smart and artistic, his walls painted LOL, he left in anger.

He left because no one wanted to play with him in the Great Hall! I thought, or rather Berty thought, that 'the students' would be all over him in the Great Hall. Berty and I were wrong.

Besides, he's got punishments to hand out soon.

**Josef Perry** · 02-18-2005, 05:23 AM

Josef is looking forward to Berty's punishments with great relish. But not the kind you put on hot dogs. The other kind of relish. He has also punished the poster of said ooc comment thoroughly and made her cry. He is also also on his way to the Great Hall himself, where he will be thoroughly ignored.

Backslash · 02-18-2005, 05:13 PM

How come none of the Profs in the Spirit room has commented on the lovely photograph of Lainley's redecorated room?! (feels unloved)

*cry* But.. But.. I did one of those.. 'bad' things, and got excited and moved my character to her quarters without actually moving her from the SPirit Room. Bah humbug. SHAME ON ME. But ok.. I'll work around it. Cuz.. I DO love the Jaren. *scampers off*

Geez, you all are awful eager to be punished. Mr. Borr's non-RPing self has kind of fallen into a hole and is way too busy for their own good. So, Mr. Borr will punish the naughty, nasty little children with their names so conveniently written on his walls, when he can devote the time needed to do it right. Because, Mr. Borr would want to do punishments right.

And you can rest easy, because he won't forget to punish you all. No, no, no he won't.

Backslash · 02-18-2005, 10:48 PM

can someone update me on what happened when Mr. Borr went around talking to the students? For some reason my browser keeps dying on me when I get to the Great Hall (ironic, ne.)

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 02-18-2005, 11:00 PM

You missed nothing. Borr walked about, the Ravenclaws were rather rude, a Slytherin was overly cheerful with him and... don't remember much about the other two houses, but it was quite irrelevant to the storyline. Practically no interaction: Borr was too soon ranging on the students for laughing at him and retreatening. Then Shwmae and Leiden are about to have a conversation. Zekke (Zadhiel) has stolen back some belonging of the professors and given them back to their due owners. SAMMO's organizing starting (telling teachers). Nadia had her first birthday present in IC! Yay! (Jaren has yet to give it to me though, from Natalya). So... pretty much nothing. Poor Zekke is suffering so much though...

I'm not sure about the other tables but at the Ravenclaw table he was quite unwelcome.

That true?" he asked, doubtful there were any smart children in this school with such pathetic teachers being in charge of them up until now.

I encourage you to come to my class and maybe I can strike those corrupt ways out of your teeny heads." Mr. Borr huffed at the rude boy before taking a few steps away. "See you in class. You sure need it." Mr. Borr walked off and out of the Great Hall. He was a very important man and had many very important things to do.

That's basically it (the most of it, that is).

(...)Ganymede was running over to tell them that someone had repainted the Headmaster's Office magenta and neon green, some Hufflepuff first year off to the right was jumping and somersaulting over a bunch of lines drawn on the ground, ignoring the yelling of the Ministry representative Bertie Borr, who was threatening the Hufflepuff with a large paddle labelled "Attitude Adjuster". A swarm of Ravenclaws armed with rubber chickens was chasing Leiden around and around and around, lead by none other than Ashlie, who was dressed up like an Amazon warrior and uttering a high-pitched war cry worthy of Xena.

Jaren's dream sequence. I'm not adding the scene with Kay and the professors because they can see them themselves... and the part with Borr turning into Voldemortist.... I didn't dare to.

Well, if is there something else I can help with the updating, call.
(*Jaren and Zekke?

Minus the obsenity I would say it's Mercurio Jaren-look-alike the most) EDIT: ...I changed my mind. I have found Jaren Jr somewhere else *points at BlueEyes_Riyon* Heheh.

SapphireMisty · 02-19-2005, 05:10 AM

Eh, my character could've talked to Prof. Lainey about her troubling summer experiences from before this term started, but she's got her own mind, and talked to Prof. Bree about it instead (as she landed into Bree's office first). She means no offense, but she likes both of yeh! *hugs both Profs. Lainey and Bree*

Anyway, my character's just put a bunch of flowers (that makes anyone sneeze for up to a week, activated by user & starts making everyone sneeze within an hour that is activated) in Borr's office. Too bad he can't ever find out who had done it if he finds the thing (unless she comes by to either reactivate when it wears off or picks it up), since there is user detection-prevention spell placed upon it. As insecure as she is this term, she still has tricks up her sleeve, no matter what her situation is! And of course, she wants to be part of the rebellion.

Cassirin · 02-20-2005, 08:39 PM

There is a LOT of chatter and chatting in here, and while I'm excited about all of your enthusiasm, it is making it hard to read and follow along. I'm at work during the day and I come in here and WHOA. So... in an attempt to curb all that chattiness, I've made a branch-off LJ of the_snitchseeker one... called ss_school.

Go there and be chatty. Please.
