"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 · 02-21-2005, 11:08 PM

UPDATE: Miss Sophie Melita is pondering the thought of asking Nora Leiden to remove the house points compition, and replace it with gold stars, which if you get so many will lead to a surprise reward (we don't know the reward because it a surprise

)

fr2nc1z · 02-21-2005, 11:28 PM

Um... Reward? A surprise reward??
Oh my.. That sounds like a potentially dangerous situation! *hides*

Updates:
1. Miss Shwmae wants to institute suspensions and harsher penalties to those who do pranks *cough cough* and rebel in class. And she was given the power to punish students to the "full extent" of her power. Read in that what you will.
2. There is a new prank in the making

And I'm not in it! woooo!!!
3. Poor Prof. Rae will get into trouble because of a photograph
4. HM and SAMMO have new rooms. But they are secret!! woooo!!!

That is all ^-^

Luna Morrisson · 02-22-2005, 02:31 AM

No offense to the people playing them, these new professors really stink at teaching. They're either insane or expecting kindergarten. It's kind of obnoxious.

And what does SAMMO stand for? Just curious.

Also is the villan played by a MOD or is some random person elected every term to play him?

*shrugs* A *cough* higher superior could answer.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 02-22-2005, 02:38 AM

SAMMO is () Students Against Meddlesome Ministry Officials

And I wouldn't say the people playing the Ministry Officials stink. They are RPing their character that way. The Ministry thinks we're a bunch of stupid, unintelligent dips.

Starbreeze · 02-22-2005, 02:56 AM

While Professor Melita gives us Gold Stars instead of House Points, Mr. Perry lets us grasp our ON wands!! how great is tha...?t (in a sarcastic way) And if answer a question correctly and if you are lucky enough you will get 1 House Point!!! huh-huh isn't that great...? *dies* these Professors STINK!

Luna Morrisson · 02-22-2005, 03:58 AM

Is there a way to join SAMMO?

Hermione_loves_Ron · 02-22-2005, 04:03 AM

You'll have to find Ashlie around the school and talk to her. But, you'll have to have a way that you've heard of the place in the RP. THey're very sercretive about it. And, you have to be approved by SAMMO.

(btw loved your posts in potions Terry and Ashlie)

What we be the fun in suspending you? Nope, Rhiane plans to have some fun with you and Kass. heheh minions.

The 'villain' or Voldemortist as he's better known, has a secret identity. I know who he/she was last term but no idea for this one. It's far more fun if you don't know whose who.

And none of the characters are what the RPers who play them, are really like. None of us are this mean. Well, unless you get on the wrong side of us, I suppose. But we are nice people.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 02-22-2005, 12:53 PM

Okay, if anyone continues to have questions about SAMMO, I'm going to put it in the LJ place >.<

Leeness · 02-22-2005, 11:53 PM

UPDATE ~ Lee has gone insane due to the fact Shwmae has put a lot of pressure on him (check out Shwmae's office for more information)

Starbreeze · 02-23-2005, 04:42 AM

Measures must be taken to ensure the ability of my professors to get their jobs done.

fr2nc1z · 02-23-2005, 05:13 AM

I'm saddened to say that the following is OOC info.. So weigh it carefully and keep it out of RPG.

Lee is a ministry spy. He is being coerced into betraying his friends. And no one knows about it!

That is all ^-^

They didn't post specifics, so OOC, I have no idea.

Further discussion of this can be taken up in the LJ Community.

Zadkhiel · 02-23-2005, 02:04 PM

*cough*Zekkestolealotofthingsandhasn'treturnedthem yet*cough*

BTW... Here's something I MUST mention and it is imperative for everyone to know.

NO ONE but a very select few know Zekke's full name. Unless Zekke personally told you or if someone spilled the beans *cough*betternot!andyoucan'tlieaboutsomeonetelling youwhennoonedid*cough* you would NEVER call him by Zadkhiel.

Notice how he never ever introduces himself as Zadkhiel and notice how I never introduce him as Zadkhiel. Always Zekke. Or Z, for those brave enough to give him that nickname/use that nickname.

EmmaRiddle · 02-23-2005, 02:47 PM

I have a few more pointers to add on the Shwmae/Lee drama which you all need to keep in mind:-

Lee isn't likely to reveal to many people, or anyone really, what's gone on because he knows the consequences would be dire.

Although Out of Character you may have read what happened, that doesn't mean your character knows what went on. Unless Shwmae or Lee tells you, then your character does not know.

I'm sure he won't be able to lie. She'll have ways of knowing whether he's telling the truth or not. I'm sure she could get Leiden to approve the use of Veritaserum on him if she suspected him of lying.

Zekke knows there's a lot of danger involved in whatever is going on, because he felt that fear from Lee when they crossed paths in the Hallways, so yeah... I feel sorry for Lee!

fr2nc1z · 02-23-2005, 03:58 PM

Obviously, all of these posts are OOC. So keep that in mind

Update:
1. Miss Shwmae is looking for The Book in the restricted section... *scary music*
2. Mr. Borr is wanted to re-decorate (throw away) everything for his new office
3. Someone let out pixies in Miss Leiden's office

More to come later!!! woooo!!!

fr2nc1z · 02-24-2005, 12:29 AM

^ Two students dropped some stink bombs inside Miss Melita's office while Miss Melita was still inside her office. At the time, Miss Melita was having an interview and conversation with Ashlie. And Francis was outside waiting for her part of the interview.

william.cook1990 · 02-24-2005, 12:31 AM

Okay I threw them into the room instead. I hope I don't get caught or it will be

for me.

Leeness · 02-24-2005, 03:48 PM

UPDATE ~ you can check out the restricted section thread to find out more about lee/shwmae situation

And I saw Mr. Borr getting online this morning. He ordered Prof Airlia to tell the house elf to clean up his office and throw away everything. Sadly, Prof Airlia obliged (well, there wasn't another choice) and.. the house elf is cleaning up the mess.. leaving the plant in the middle of his desk

Hubert the doomed Elf did a lot more than just leave the plant!!(see my office for details) And now he's going to pay!! Much like a lot of you are going to for your prank earlier. But Hubert, well I have big plans for ole Hubert. Just wait and see.

Either us, or Headmaster Hendrik are in trouble.

SapphireMisty · 02-25-2005, 08:33 PM

Okay, my character had retrieved 'that' something that makes people sneeze, because she feels it may not work anymore if its pot has crashed but its effect doesn't wear off unless she deactivates it.

groovychick · 02-27-2005, 02:39 PM

Update!

She entered the room speedily, making sure to shut and lock the door.

"I was wondering Miss Melita, would you mind awfully if I borrowed some of your cookies?" As an after thought, she added, "You wouldn't happen to have found any Veritaserum lying around these, would you?"

Shwmae is putting Truth potion into cookies! Well it seems like she is so be careful.

Adyna Laurent · 02-27-2005, 05:09 PM

Melita has been putting stuff in the cookies too. Don't be so shocked. Y'all are foolish to accept them!

The Ministry IS the law.

If they believe someone is witholding vital information, they can force them to tell the truth. Hogwarts is under investigation and so naturally they need the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
