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.

"Not a problem. Things happen," Marcus said, now focused on his run. "We just need to learn to communicate more effectively. Are you joining our competition here or just running with us? He thinks he can beat me on the track. Its a good thing he's faster with his wand than he is on his feet."

"Oh, listen to your trash talk," Angus laughed. "I'll bet you a pint that my total time is better than yours."

"You're on," Marcus said. "So any opinions on what this thing with Gelding is all about?"

"Not a clue," Angus said. "If it were Suzanne, I could understand it. She's whackadoodle about bloody near everything. But Tom? He's been relatively less bizarre. Not that he's entirely stable himself. I mean, for anyone to do what he does, he has to be missing some of the cheese off his cracker, but this is out of character for him. This could get him sent across the veil without any chance of leniency."

"I completely agree," Marcus nodded. "Suppose Suzanne made it back to Gelding by now?"

"Anything is possible. But would he be this off the rails if she actually made it home?"

"You're right. That doesn't make sense either," Marcus said. "Maybe it's Suzanne and not Tom at all."

"If she's behind it, then the only way for us to get a step ahead is for me to go surrender to her."

"Pfft. Yeah. Sure. You try to get that plan past Robert. That's going to go down like the Titanic. Mark my words."

Aria chuckled " I'll run with you and yeah I really need a calendar or organiser to keep things in order." she said and ran beside Angus hearing the bet she chuckled and looked to Marcus but then fell quiet as they spoke of Suzanne and if she had reached Gelding yet. then she heard Angus mention offering himself to Suzzanne but she also heard Marcus response and nodded she agreed.

Ruby kept cleaning the kitchen once breakfast with the boys and girls was done, Caprice had slept all the way through it but Ruby had kept some food for her and angus too when he returned. Ruby now done moved to sit down beside the play pen with Amari and Caprice in it. Jack stayed by the back door watching Aria and Marcus running with Angus and Joseph off in the distance walking his patrol.

Nigel and the nurse from St. Mungos went with Vasil and Deni as they moved Mileva to the cottage. Danica gave her bed at the cottage of Mileva, knowing they would sort a new sleeping arrangement later. It didn't take them long to get Mileva into bed and to get her things sorted and set up in a way that would work for everyone. Vasil and Deni were deeply relieved at having Mileva with them instead of in a sickbay. Vasil and Deni had never had any of their children in a hospital before, so it had made them anxious. Having her back again made them breathe a big sigh of relief. Deni went to the kitchen and got Mileva something cold to drink, and Danica and Stefan went to the rec room in the carriage house and found a cornhole game that they took outside and set up on the lawn to play. They hadn't played cornhole but it looked simple enough.

Angus defeated Marcus's time for the run but only with about a five second edge. They had been neck and neck the whole way, and they had proceeded to do the obstacle course. That had taken a bit longer, but they had both beaten their previous time. And Angus had tried to leave the dummies intact. Still, it was a good run, and they both scored well.

"You did well with that, Aria," Angus told her when they finished. "Good job. Pascal went to Evan's yesterday to work with Anise, I think. If that's the case, then I presume he'll go there again today. I told her I'd work with her after supper."

"We need to do a singles duel and a double," Marcus said. "She needs to know the pressure of formal duels not just with one opponent. There could be doubles matches too."

"Oh, you're right. Maybe you and Aria could be the other two and join Anise and me for a doubles match. That, and at some point, she needs to do a few in her Beauxbatons uniform. That will make it feel different too."

"I'm game for a doubles match. What do you think, Aria? When's the last time you did a formal doubles duel?" Marcus asked her.

Aria ran the assault course coming in behind Marcus and Angus but at least she finished it. now catching her breath she listened and smiled at them as they spoke of a doubles duel. " sure I'd be up for it, but never actually done one of those though." she said smiling as she finally stood up once she had caught her breath after the run. " besides I feel I could use the practice." she added.

Jack saw Joseph walk over to him with Digger and smiled taking out a coin and giving it to Digger " all's strengthened and looking good around the main house." Joseph told hi and he nodded.

"okay take digger to the barn and feed the pygmy puff for me, thanks" he said as Joseph nodded and headed over to the barn.

"It's basically like any other sort of sparring, except we need to be specific to use proper etiquette," Angus said.

"I dare you to wear your old Hogwarts robes," Marcus grinned at Angus. "I mean, if you want this to look like a dress rehearsal, we should consider looking the part."

"I will if you will," Angus replied. "I still have my Gryffindor tie too, I'm sure. You have your Ravenclaw one?"

"God, I don't know," Marcus said. "If I do, it's likely in a trunk somewhere in the attic of Honeydukes, and probably smells like smoke from the fire. I have my old Ravenclaw robe, though, I'm pretty sure. Your robe likely will need a size adjustment because you have bulked up dramatically from your 7th year picture."

"Hadn't considered that, but I'm sure you're right. What about you, Aria? You still have your old uniform? Did you go to Hogwarts or Ilvermorny?"

Aria and Angus both looked at each other and smiled " oh please do , I'd love to see you both in those robes" Ruby said smiling as she looked from one to the other then to Aria as both women smiled to them.

"oh I'm getting my muggle camera for this" Aria said accioing it to her and readying it. " hey we might learn something too by watching them" Ruby chuckled and nodded to Marcus.

"oh please do that " she asked then looked at Aria " if you wear yours we'll wear ours." she added teasing a little.

"If you want to see us in our robes, why not just look at our school photographs?" Marcus asked. "We haven't changed all that much, not really.

"Meh," Angus shrugged, "Look at it this way. They just can't get enough of us looking good." Marcus laughed out loud.

"I like that," Marcus said.

"Angus," Robert's voice sounded from the floo. "You boys there?"

"Yep. Both of us," Angus replied, going to the floo.

"So, I'm still at the ministry," Robert said, "Kate tells me your gran is warning everybody in radius about something but we don't know what just yet. Did you have any dark dreams last night?"

"Well, sort of," Angus said. "They were pretty vague. They had a sort of vibe that some sort of doom was coming but it wasn't specific. Nothing helpful. I was in a pretty dead sleep, though, I admit."

"Well, having spent as many years as I have being outnumbered by seers, I'm not stupid enough to brush it off. Besides, we've all seen your gran, so we know she's not a figment of someone's imagination. We're still gathering intel from Irene about where these kids could have gone, and we don't have a clear direction yet. That's just going to take time. Given what we know, I want you two to stand down for now, and if I need you, I'll let you know. You're both able to gear up on a moment's notice, so I'm not concerned about that. For now, though, until we know more, you boys focus on Vasil and his family and on Anise's competition this weekend. If that changes, I'll let you know straight away--fair enough?"

"That's fair," Angus replied.

"I honestly don't expect Vasil to need to be here more than another day or so. I think they're going to be able to take Mileva home and take care of her at home, so that will let you all focus on Anise and prepping her for the tournament. If you need help with that, you let me know. I'll help her in whatever way I can."

"I appreciate that. We're considering dress rehearsals so she gets to feel comfortable with dueling in her uniform."

"Now that is an excellent thought. let me know how it goes," Robert replied.

"Will do. Thanks," Angus said as Robert turned off his floo connection. Angus looked at the others. "I guess we're off the hook for now."

Ruby and Aria both laughed but stopped hearing Roberts voice through the floo. each listened to what he had to say and nodded in agreement when told they could stand down for the moment focusing on Vasil and his family. Once Robert closed the floo Ruby spoke " I think that's a great idea " she said then chuckled " does that mean we get to see you in your robes?" she asked smiling.

Aria chuckled and looked to Marcus as Ruby spoke to Angus " it would be good to brush up on my dueling, our spar was exciting but I know I'm rusty on a few things" she said " I do hope it helps Anise relax in her duel, I have to admit I was nervous when I dueled for the first time." She looked at her hands then looked up at him.

"Yeah, maybe," Marcus said. "If we can find them and freshen them up and resize Angus's a little."

"Anise really does love dueling and fighting," Angus said. "She's always sone of the first to want to leap into a fray."

"Her skills were ridiculously impressive even before she came to live with Angus," Marcus said. "And then she got her wand and started to learn to cast spells. Dennis might be her bio dad, but she really is out of the same mold as Angus, I think. She's quick, and when she's in a fight, she's pretty fierce for as young as she is. I honestly think she's going to surprise her competition this weekend. Where is this competition?"

"Dartmoor, I believe," Angus said. "in the stadium for the 1994 World Cup."

"That's a mammoth stadium," Marcus frowned.

"It is indeed," Angus said, "but this championship apparently went to all eleven wizarding schools worldwide. I got a letter about it but I haven't read it yet." He accio'd it off the desk and opened it.
"Looks like one school isn't coming. I don't know which one, but that does make the playing field a bit more level. The field is being divided into five smaller dueling fields. Then the students will play a number of single and double matches against each other. And, somehow they'll be doing eliminations to reduce the champions. There will supposedly be a doubles champion and a singles champion and then, they hope those champions will duel each other for a grand championship--except in the unlikelihood of the singles champ and the doubles champ being the same winner. In that case, then the grand champion will automatically be named. Confused?"

"No, not really. But it sounds like this could well be an all day thing."

"It's supposed to be. The contestants will be allowed a 20 minute break between matches while the field is reset. As the match progresses, the fields will be reduced so that, by the final match, only one field is left in the center of the stadium."

"Makes sense."

"I think we really should go to Dartmoor on Friday night and get rooms so that Anise is well rested the morning of the tournament, unless she would rather just apparate from here. Whatever she is more comfortable with," Angus suggested.

Ruby listened to Angus explain the competition and nodded " sounds grueling, maybe we can go and support her?" she asked then heard Marcus talk and nodded she agreed " but I'd have to ask Jessie to look after the girls or Edward" she pondered as Aria looked at them both.

" well we have time so we can ask and there are other options " she added as she stood up and moved to pore some coffee for herself before handing Marcus a cup too before siting down again.
