A Rather Horrid Year Indeed {A Harry Potter RP}

[RainbowLeos]

(Luna had to go have family time. I'm not sure about the Animagus part but your character is accepted. Its basically automatic acceptably. Wait till Luna is on and see what she says about the Animagus part though, not really sure what she thinks about that. )

{Ok, thanks! Where exactly should I start?}

[RainbowLeos]

(They are at the feast, when you first arrive Start there. Sorry, I don't have any Ravenclaw characters.)

[MelkorofAngband]

{{Yeah its totally awesome. I'll just add now that if anyone would like to have their character be an animagus then they should change it now. Sorry I didnt post... I didnt notice that anyone else had '-_-}}

Gwen sat at her houses table. Happily smiling and joking with everyone, when the platters in front of her filled with boat loads of food. Every kind of food imaginable. This was definetly one of her favorite parts of the school year.

Roderich sat quetly among his classmates and ate in the same way. Avoiding those Slytherins glares,
and th Gryffindors smile, and the Hufflepuffs indifference.


{{I'll add you to the list in the morning, and I will also have dumbledore do his little speech thing.}}

[houndpine]

{Ok, thanks!}

Hazel sat down next to some friendly-looking Ravenclaws and loaded her plate with her favorite foods. She picked up her fork and began eating hungrily.

[MelkorofAngband]

{{Alright, finally found it. I altered the speech a bit and filled it in, in some places. Just so you know it's not exact:)}}

Gwen Polished the last bit of food on her plate, just as Dumbledore stood and waited for the children to quiet down. The effect was almost instantaneous. "The very best of evenings to you! Now… to our new students, welcome, to our old students, welcome back! Another year full of magical education awaits you. There is a time for speeches, and seeing that you have all eaten your fill, I suppose this is it. So I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start of term notices. First years ought to now the the forest on the grounds is out of bounds to students, and our returning students could stand to be reminded." Gwen snickered at this, after all she had been in the forest many times. "Mr. Filch, our caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me to be the 462nd time, that magic is not to be used in the corridors between classes. Nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now found in Mr. Filch's office." at this he smiled a bit, s if any of the students would actually check the list. " Now we have two changes in staffing this year, we welcome back Proffesor. Grubbly-plank who will be taking up the role of care of magical creatures teacher, while our dear friend Hagrid is off on bussiness. We are also delighted to introduce Prof. Umbridge, our new defense against the dark arts teacher. For those who wish, tryouts for the house quiddich teams wll take place on-" At this he was cut short at a small falsetto laugh, seeming to eminate from the toad-like teacher bedecked in pink. "Hem-Hem... Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how nice to see all of your bright smiling faces, looking back up at me, and I'm sure we will be best of friends The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of a vital importance. Although each headmaster has brought something new to this... historic school, progress for the sake of progress must be discouraged. Let us preserve what must be preserved, perfect what can be perfected and prune practices that ought to be... prohibited!" At this she smiled and sat back down, for somewher in the middle of this, she had gotten up and made her way to the headmasters podium.


{{OH MY GOD> That was a lot of typing

[RainbowLeos]

(You copied and pasted that Luna!!!!)

[MelkorofAngband]

{{I did no such thing, I watched the movie clip and added what I remembered from the book(Cause I have read it like 10 times)}}

[houndpine]

{It's UMBRIDGE}

Hazel listened to Dumbledore's speech as she finished up her meal. She blanked out and didn't listen at all when Umbridge stepped up to talk.
