"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]

UPDATE ~ Rae like Bree is getting completely kicked outof the castle and so will the other professors once leiden has done what she needs done

fr2nc1z · 03-06-2005, 01:13 AM

Miss Leiden is prepare to start a trial as well as remove any ministers that don't do their job:

Quote:

"Leiden considered her options. Perry was twisting things to get the control he so desparately craved, but he had a point. Things would be much more orderly if the old professors were out or back where they belonged. Perhaps the children would finally be appeased. "Fine, Perry. We move now. I'm prepared to make the inquiry official and initiate the trial and sentencing of the professors. Is that what you wanted? But let's be clear... you need to take control of your own situation. You may think that you're something because you're so young and so well-placed, but we BOTH know that you are related to the Minister. There's no question in my mind why you're here, but I have the discretion to remove you if I think you can't do your work."

fr2nc1z · 03-06-2005, 04:08 AM

Because I wanted everyone to read this and not think it was my last message (sorry for the double post):

Quote:

Attention Students:

Headmistress Leiden would like to announce the trial of Kris Airlia, Anjelica Lainey, and Marcella Riddle. We will be attempting to reveal the motives and events occuring last term in order to decide the future of said former Hogwarts professors. If any students believe they have testimony to add, either for the prosecution or the defense, please privately owl Headmistress Leiden with a brief synopsis of your testimony.

Yeah... read that. And think about whether you can testify. The more the merrier.

EmmaRiddle · 03-06-2005, 09:59 AM

Phoenix wasn't ousted in the RPG but seeing as Rox can't be around I thought we working on the thesis that she had been. 'Cause if she finds time to RP, it'd be too messy to have her sacked now, when other things are in the middle of being prepared.

XxNoelxX · 03-06-2005, 05:38 PM

update:Berty Borr and his new favorite student have recently began HOM classes. So far they are going well. Scratch that, they're going terribly. Borr has literally grabbed Lee and sat him next to Selena (his new favorite student). He expects students to take him very 'seriously'. after going on strike, kim alex and lee have been given a borr detention. meanwhile borr is physically and emotionally abusing hubert. ministry officials, when will it end?

And so far Mr. Borr has been teaching his students about his favorite subject. Himself. It turns out that he began being rude at the age of four. not surprising.

Cassirin · 03-06-2005, 07:54 PM

Please edit your posts instead of posting again. And we really don't need a play by play... why don't you just generally tell us it all at the end of the class? *bats eyelashes*

**Joy Miller** · 03-07-2005, 12:20 AM

Okay... Hi. Hope by now everyone has seen my stickies in the common rooms. I would really like as many students as possible to get the chance to testify, so please PM me. Also... I know that its specifically about last term, but if you have something incriminating or supportive to say from THIS term, please let me know as well.

I might allow a VERY VERY few character witnesses.

What exactly are character witnesses?

I feel rather silly for not knowing, especially since I went to a conference held for Mock Trial.

**Joy Miller** · 03-08-2005, 03:20 AM

That would be someone who could testify either for or against the character of the defendent. If you could give evidence the professors were worth keeping OR were evilly dark... that would be good. Evidence in your PM is much desired so I don't get you on the stand and then realize you just want to talk about their "aura of goodness"

EmmaRiddle · 03-08-2005, 04:33 PM

^ To elaborate, or put it in lamens terms, it means to give evidence concerning what a certain defendant is like. For example, if they're a good natured individual with the best of interests, say if a Professor helped you in the past, that could be evidence toward the teacher in question caring very much for the student body.

Leeness · 03-08-2005, 04:37 PM

just a small question, would we be able to post in here when new lessons are up? or would that be considered spamming, because i missed out on the DADA lessonw eith Perry because i didnt see it on the hogwarts RPG board and his office was getting replied in so it didnt show up in the classroom forum. Its just in case it could help out a bit.

EmmaRiddle · 03-08-2005, 04:44 PM

You can post that in 'Announcement' threads in your CR's. If you don't have one, ask your HoH or Prefect for one.

fr2nc1z · 03-09-2005, 06:14 AM

A new organization has been created: FATE

FATE: Fairness Against Torturing Elvesembers

Backslash · 03-09-2005, 06:11 PM

Man, you Ravenclaws are really on a roll...that makes what, at least five school organizations now?

(makes a note of the group)

fr2nc1z · 03-11-2005, 04:45 AM

FATE is in trouble!! Lainey walked in to help.. And Perry followed her...

Is this the end for Lainey.. or the students??

edited to add: Prof Lainey was sent to Miss Leiden's office.. And the poor students were sent to detention

**Joy Miller** · 03-12-2005, 05:29 PM

I have four students testifying in the trial so far. I would love to hear from more of you. For a complete list of the things that could be testified on, go to the SS LJ.

Yes... I do stalk that LJ, btw.

Backslash · 03-12-2005, 05:34 PM

When's the trial? Is there a deadline for submitting testimonies?

Leeness · 03-12-2005, 05:36 PM

are we allowed to know who the four students testifying are?

**Joy Miller** · 03-12-2005, 05:55 PM

There's no date at this time, although we'll start very soon. We'll probably be willing to take testimonies even after the trial starts if people need to see how its going to go down.

The four who are testifying now have all received PMs from me. If you didn't get a PM saying basically "Yes, you're in. Details to follow," then... you aren't on the list. If you aren't sure, PM me.

fr2nc1z · 03-13-2005, 08:07 PM

Headmaster Leiden has confined Lainey to her quarters until final notice.

**Joy Miller** · 03-16-2005, 02:48 AM
