Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Post by Amelia Lyons Tue Dec 28, 2010 9:31 pm

After Amelia had given her small wave to Arthur, she had not been able to see his reaction, because even as tall as he was, he soon disappeared behind the crowds of other students, graduates, professors, and general public that had been invited to the event. Everyone had come out to see the finery, to stand among ‘the future of the magical world’, and to inspect the champions about whom much was being written in the papers and tabloid magazines.

At least not entering the tournament saved me that trouble… Amelia thought to herself as her eyes began to wander again, settling on nothing in particular. Although the time of the choosing of the champions had long since passed, Amelia could still feel a knot in her stomach each time she thought of the goblet that she had passed so many days in a row and never put her name in, all because of her parents. She would have wanted to enter – did want to enter, as she had last year – but the pressure she felt from her parents’ expectations was too much for her even to step over the age line and place a tiny slip of paper into a glorified drinking glass.

And then there was Raoul. Amelia had never lied to him before, but when he had asked her about the tournament, she had told him she had entered, even though she had never worked up the courage. It was a cowardly lie, one told to protect herself from Raoul’s disappointment, which affected her almost as much as her parents’ did. He had wanted her to enter the tournament, even knowing how it had turned out last year, and although she wanted to, she hadn’t. She had, as she always did, put her own wants and desires aside to be the daughter her parents had always wanted, the one who did as she was told and was never a source of embarrassment. But she couldn’t tell Raoul that. The last time she had told him about her folding under pressure from her mother, he had stopped writing her for nearly six months. Amelia couldn’t handle the thought of being cut off from him again; it was bad enough that she hadn’t seen him in two years. Some days, her letters were all that kept her going. After all, Raoul was the closest thing she had to a friend, and although he was partially responsible for the way she was – cold, distant, unwilling to connect – she couldn’t let him go.

Shaking these thoughts from her mind, Amelia turned her attention back to the dance floor where the champions had finally started dancing. The Beauxbatons champion was dancing with Simon, another Ravenclaw she recognized, though most of what she knew about him came from her mother constantly prattling on about how good a suitor he would make for Amelia. In truth, Antoinette likely preferred Simon because of his father’s accomplishments and not because she had ever met the boy herself. Well off, of high social standing, and a high potential for something to brag about to her socialite friends. Check, check, check.

Now that the champions were dancing, a few other couples were moving to the dance floor, dissipating Amelia’s claustrophobia that had been growing ever since the crowd around her had been thickening. As the pairs around her began to move to the floor, those that remained on the outskirts of the hall came into sight, and completely by accident, Amelia’s eyes found themselves resting on a dark-haired Slytherin boy leaning forward to kiss a redhead in a white dress with green accents that almost hid the bump on her stomach that Amelia knew to be there.

Not tonight… Amelia told herself sternly, pointedly looking away from the Hollywood-esque exchange between the happy couple. She was putting Elijah behind her. She had put Elijah behind her, or at least that is what she told herself. But no matter how many locks and spellotape she put around the mental box she had hidden Elijah in, or how far to the back of her closet she buried the necklace he had given her, there were some things Elijah had done that she couldn’t hide or will away. He had put her back three years in her ability to trust, her willingness to believe in the good in people. And no amount of anger or reminiscing or self-pity was going to change that.

Xemnas looked at Hitame's face and noticed rivulets flowed down her eyes. I hope I didn't say something wrong Xemnas thought.He needed to know if he made a mistake so he decided to ask."hey Hitame what's the matter,are you sad that your here"Xemnas asked her.He didn't want anyone to see her like that especially Sora,and Jack.He looked at her to see that the water had already reached her neck.

"aww you miss them too right.Even when they were alive I had no connection with them.That's why I don't really feel sorry.Although Sora misses them with all his heart,but that's because he doesn't know there secret.I would tell you but I need to know I can trust you first,I'm real nervous about sharing secrets with people.I hardly trust anyone,because usually at some point in my life they all backstab me"Xemnas informed Hitame.

"i miss them alot and so does naomi.Our parents had a secret to but i never really understood what they meant when they told me.....i'm really nervous about telling people secrets to. Somehow it always goes wrong, like my parents were killed because they told someone their secret and it backfired on them."" Naomi doesn't know what happened to them she was really young and i can't tell her it would really hurt her....."Hitame stayed quiet for a while when she spoke she sounded choked up."Anyways you don't have to tell me anything until you're comfortable."

Chastity Moor wrote:Chase looked up and smiled at Elijah when he kissed her. "Well hey!" She said with a small laugh. He cupped her face and she could feel her cheeks burning as he complimented her. "Oh I wouldn't say that.." She said, smiling shyly. "I'm sure there are plenty of other girls around here who have caught your eye at least once." She said with a giggle, but she pretty much fell into the compliment, her eyes sparkling. When he pressed himself against her, she felt her cheeks turn just about as red as her hair. She could feel his abdomen touching hers, and it was pretty clear that he wasn't touching her dress. "I.. well I thought I'd look normal for the dance.. I mean.." She sighed and took hold of his hand, swaying slightly to the music with him.

"One last go at being normal I guess." She said with a laugh, glancing around her she looked back up at Elijah and got lost in his beautiful eyes. "How is it I got lucky enough to come with the most dashing man here? I look around me, and I see no one who I'd rather be with today." She said grinning at him, pulling his hand to her lips and kissing it gently. She suddenly broke away and stood in front of him, her dress just long enough to cover important areas on her body, but still pretty short. "Hmm..." She said and then swept herself into an elegant curtsy. "May I please have a dance with a fine gentleman, who I call my boyfriend?" She asked holding out her hand to him and grinning at him playfully.

It was crazy, the change Barker had put on him. The man who had almost ruined their lives, had actually been a help to Chase.. well he wouldn't have been a help had he actually gotten a hold of her, tortured and killed her, but hey, he had been caught and there really wasn't any reason to be thinking about what could have happened. Instead, she looked at Elijah, and it was like, her having her life threatened, had changed him completely. He smiled at her different, he looked at her differently, and she could almost feel love sparking the air between them. If she didn't know better, people were staring in awe at the couple who seemed to be so hopelessly in love.


Elijah pursed his lips and looked sceptically at Chase. The only other girl that had caught his gaze was his sister and that was for the completely wrong reasons. Jack had also made him linger on her for a while but that was because of that feather-monstrosity she had on. Elijah leaned down and kissed Chase once more. “Why on earth would my eyes stray tonight or ever?” He asked. “I have everything I’d ever need right in front of me,” he said with a soft smile. He watched as the woman before him flushed blood red and he smiled widely at her. He was flattering her needlessly but he couldn’t help it. She knew how fond he was of her, he just felt like laying it all on quite thick tonight. His cousins would tease him for it. Well, Finn and Euan would. Harry would just smile sadly at him. Elijah thanked Merlin he only saw his elder cousins sparingly. He didn’t think he could handle the wise, yet disappointed looks he’d have gotten from Harry all night had he chosen to attend.

When Chase admitted her reasons behind her concealment of Kitty, Elijah laughed. “You’ve never been normal, love.” He grinned at her. “You’re pretty damn odd if I may say so myself.” Elijah continued to smirk and he quirked an eyebrow when she described him as dashing. “Why thank you,” Elijah replied, a high-end London accent changing his voice ever so slightly. He grinned at Chase again and he returned her curtsy with a bow of his own. He couldn’t help but smile around her. His face muscles had only just stretched enough to be comfortable with all of the smiling. That didn’t stop the aching though because impossibly, he managed to smile wider.

“Come on then, Fen.” He took her hand and brought it to his lips before tugging it gently. He led her out onto the dance floor and took her into his arms. Elijah leaned down and kissed Chase gently on the lips. “I love you,” He reminded her with a small smile.

"Sora doesn't our secret,and if he did he'd be so heart broken.He probably wouldn't even believe me"Xemnas told her.Xemnas then looked up at the ball and noticed the clock.He sighed "well it's been 10 minutes already,where the hell is he."Xemnas said out loud.He also got more nervous because he was about to have his first ever dance in just a few minutes.His heart started racing.

"If i told Naomi that our parents are dead she wouldn't believe me either.So i keep it a secret from her."Hitame got very nervous when Xemnas said that 10 minutes had passed.Oh man i hope Sora comes.... i'm so nervous about dancing with Xemnas i really hope i don't make a fool of myself!! Suddenly Hitame became happy about dancing with Xemnas she felt more comfortsble knowing she was going to be dancing with a friend rather than a stranger.

When Cecilia finaly reached the spot her brother and his friend had been standing the two of them were on the dance floor. Cecilia shook her head and once again found a seat watching the others dance. after a while she started to think that Ezra wasn't showing. she hadn't seen him in a day or so and had no idea what he was up to. she watched her brother and the girl for a minute longer. why should she wait around for someone who probably wasn't going to show up? finally she got up and headed back throw the crowded room toward the grate hall.
once in the out of the crowded grate hall she looked around. there weren't as many people out in the entrace hall. the music must have pulled them inside if not that then something eals did. she leaned aginst the wall for a second thinking to she self. how stupid could i be? why didn't i listion to Eli that day? she hought she had been stood up so far.... she sat down on the stone floor by her self and slid her shoes off. she wondered why she had even bothered geting dressed up and comeing to the ball any way.

((Posting as Louis))

Lucy smiled as Louis took a seat beside and gave her some punch. "Thankyou Louis."said Lucy kissing his cheek. As he asked what she was doing she shrugged. "Oh nothing much really, just watching couple dancing and waiting for you."said Lucy softly. "You look sharp and handsome as always."said Lucy smiling. Lucy looked at herself and frowned for there were other girls who looked prettier then her. Lucy wondered if her best friend Leslie was coming or not seeing how she didn't have a date.

Tapping her foot to the beat she started humming the song softly to herself and took a sip of her punch Louis gave her. Lucy loved dances and nothing would make her happier then being close to Louis. She was glad they were back together again she really missed being with him and around him.

Louis looked at her. He got up. "So wanna dance or are we gonna sit." He said hearing the music waiting for Luxy to answer. Louis waited for her and saw other people dancing. It looked really fun. And Louis had been practicing. He saw a couple of people he knew. He didnt wait and pulled her up starting to dance with her. As he remebered. From last Yule ball. Step left, step right and the male leads. He looked at her. "Come on dance." He said dancing some more.
