Game Intro:

Spoiler

Professor Trelawney was scurrying through her tower. “No. The tea leaves cannot be showing this.” She shuffled through her papers, trying to find the obscure text she read earlier in the day. She was shaking as the omen that she read terrified her more than the one those fateful years ago. Everything had been peaceful since the fall of Voldemort, or so she thought. These portents and mild visions she had been experiencing the last couple weeks have been chilling her to her bones.

“Aha!” Professor Trelawney exclaimed. She quickly started to review the document and her mouth fell open agape. Before she could react, an explosion rocked Hogwarts and threw Professor Trelawney sideways, knocking her unconscious.

When she awoke, she had to push some rubble off of her. She stood up shakily and left her tower. In situations like this, the teachers would typically gather in the Great Hall. Luckily, there were no students at Hogwarts. She went down the staircases and heard voices from within the Great Hall but could not make any out. Professor Trelawney pushed open the door and stepped inside.

She could not believe her eyes. She did not recognize anyone standing in front of her. It seemed like no one recognized each other nor any of the deeds they had performed in the past. Harry Potter stepped forth, still as young as he was back in Hogwarts and started to speak. “Now, I have no idea how any of us got here or even who any of you are, but it's clear some…evil is afoot.” Fred Weasley clutched the Marauder’s Map and nodded his head. “This is really strange, mate.”

Lord Voldemort stood up shakily, unaware of who he was nor who anyone else was. “What the hell is going on here?” He may not have his memories, but in his heart he felt that this group needed a leader. And he was the obvious choice to rule….i mean lead over.” Lord Voldemort stepped forward, intent on giving everyone a piece of his mind, but Gellert Grindelwald spoke first. “I think we need someone to lead us. Obviously, I think I would be the best.”

Arguments erupted as no one could trust anyone in this location as they all seem to have lost their memories. Another man spoke, the beard on his face shifting in and out of focus. “Now, now. There should be a civil way to do this,” Albus Dumbledore said. He was quickly cut off as others joined in the arguments and it was clear alliances were starting to form amongst everyone.

Lord Voldemort scoffed. “Anyone who thinks I am the best to lead us, meet me in the forbidden corridor.” He walked off swiftly with some following behind him. Peter Pettigrew wasn’t sure what to do, but he followed this man regardless. Something felt…appropriate.

Gellert Grindelwald let out a mirthless laugh and announced that anyone who felt he should be in charge should follow him down to the dungeons. Some decided to follow him, especially Nagel. He may not remember who he was or what he has done, but something about Grindelwald felt right.

Dumbledore sighed and looked around at the others. “Well, I guess we better figure out what is going on here.” Another voice spoke up. “Well, let’s get everyone fed and come up with a plan on what to do next.” Minerva McGonagall strode out from the shadows. “We should meet in the Great Hall each day to see if we can figure out who put us here and who we all are.” The others pondered this but agreed. Tomorrow, they would all meet and figure out what the hell is going on.

Professor Trelawney had a bad feeling about this. She quickly left and strode back up to her tower, hoping that she would be able to find an answer to this puzzle.

Elsewhere in the castle, Peeves woke up from a quick nap. “People? In the castle? This is going to be LOADS of fun.” He cackled and whizzed around the castle planning all sorts of mischief.

Day 1 Intro:

Spoiler

With everyone sorted into their houses and a peaceful night's rest, they all came down from their house common rooms and met in the Great Hall. A large table was set out in the center with seats enough for all.

Everyone took their places at the table, including the members of the Death Eaters and The Alliance. George Weasly was in a heated discussion with Dobby while Lucius Malfoy sneered at Vinda Rosier.

Peeves also took a place at the table fantasizing about all of the fun he could potentially have and knocked over Severus Snape’s goblet. Snape jumped up and cursed the poltergeist. Rubeus Hagrid smiled and bellowed laughter.

Argus Filch and Mrs. Norris were keeping to themselves in the corner of the room, watching over everyone present. Luna Lovegood attempted to talk to them, but was presented with a hiss from Mrs. Norris.

Sybill Trelawney had come down from her tower and decided to be present amongst everyone. This would weaken her cosmic abilities, but felt it was important that her presence be known today.

Dumbledore tapped his fork on his goblet and everyone fell silent. “Now my friends. Let’s get down to business and figure out what is going on here.”

Nightingale is Sybill Trelawney and is a Neutral Wish-Granter. She cannot be voted upon or have actions performed on her. She does not count towards parity/player count and cannot vote or use FoS either. Professor Trelawney will be present at the meeting on Day 1 and all wishes submitted will be anonymous.

To submit a wish, please append your wish with ?wish and Dynobot will send the message for you. You do this from your private channel. There is no limit on the amount of wishes able to be sent. If the wish was successfully sent, it will delete itself from your channel.

All wishes MUST have a target (can be yourself) that the wish will be applied to for it to be a valid wish. Granted wishes will not be revealed to the thread with the exception of the Hogwarts house and alignment of the player whose wish was granted. Wishes may only be submitted with the wish and target and no other information (such as your name, your role, discussion about the game, etc). Wishes must be on one line (no character or word limit) with ?wish at the beginning or it will not be sent properly. If additional information is sent with your wish, the moderator will be displeased and will express this displeasure in a multitude of ways.

Examples:

?wish I wish for a vig kill (Invalid wish - No target)
?wish I wish to have a vig kill for myself (Invalid wish - No specific target)
?wish I wish to for VK to have a vig kill (Valid wish - Target is present (self targeting allowed))

Wishes will be chosen by the Wish-Granter based on how they are written and only one can be chosen to be granted per night. Wishes are only valid on the cycle that they are wished for. The moderator reserves the right to adjust, modify, or interpret, or interfere with any final wishes if they are not clear and specific.

NO WISHES CAN CAUSE ANY RESURRECTIONS OR ALIGNMENT CHANGES.

—---------------

Lora has donned the Invisibility Cloak and is immune from being voted upon or targeted by actions until the start of Day 3.

—---------------

Current Phase:

It is currently Day 1. Day 1 will end at 8:00pm ET on Feb 9th or when majority is reached. With 25 players valid, majority is 13 votes on a single player. If majority is not reached by end of day, no one will be eliminated.

Mod Annoucement:

Harry Potter decided to take this time of discussion and challenge another player to a magical duel. The battle would take place across the day and would end before everyone retired to their common rooms for the night.

You may continue posting.

 

[VoidKitten]

Mod Note:

Harry Potter dueled with his target. It was a vicious battle back and forth with neither relenting any ground. A lucky reflect shot Harry's Expelliarmus back at himself, disarming him. Harry kicked the ground at losing the duel and hoped to find his wand before tomorrow.

also, @VoidKitten, what the hell is reader mode and how do we get to it/activate it? you had it linked in the last game, but it would always say the requested page could not be found when i clicked on it.

In the options at the top of the thread, there should be a button that says reader mode and its under this post since ill threadmark it. It will list all posts I threadmark in one screen.

If you don't see it, let me know. Might be permissions?

The statue of VoidKitten came alive again, but this time it did not move. “The first rulebreaker has been spared, but now all of you are prepared. Ensure you keep within my special hidden rules or all of you will look like fools. This man had died because you all, failed to agree before the time doth toll. Three more rules may exist and if you break them you may no longer persist. I wish you luck and bid adieu because if I’m called for you my blade ring true.”

A brilliant light filled the room and VoidKitten fell silent, but one of their own had returned.

Claws has been revived.

—---------------

Everyone had left the Great Hall and settled into their common rooms that night. Hogwarts however, would hold many a secret as various factions were at play throughout the castle. While some slept peacefully in their beds, others were out and about.

Lucius Malfoy knew that the Death Eaters should take advantage right off the bat. He cast a spell that would make it so many of his enemies would stay in their beds all night. PETRIFICUS TOTALUS.

Badger had been seen wandering the Great Hall before everyone started to wander in. He really loved Pumpkin Juice and he happened to see a tray sitting there without anyone near it. He quickly grabbed some and gobbled it down. Badger quickly grabbed his throat as it burned and he realized he had just had some Polyjuice Potion. But something was wrong, this didn’t feel right. Oh no…what was the catalyst in that potion?

Hermione Granger had spent most of the night in the restricted section looking for clues at what could be happening to everyone. She heard a noise and quickly dimmed her lantern and listened. Hermione saw Mazer walking into the library and decided to talk to him. The most recent book she read had a ton of information about Death Eaters so she was sure she could figure some things out.

The Marauder’s Map wriggled on a desk. It unfurled itself as the map lit up with locations of friend and foe. The Marauder’s Map took interest in Psycho specifically and watched him to see if he would leave his common room tonight.

Dumbledore knew that the situation was dire, but he could not figure out what was happening. Dumbledore stroked his beard thoughtfully and decided to spend time close to Satsu tonight, hopefully having a nice spot of tea and staying out of the thick of things while he could think.

Fred Weasley had a bag of tricks. He and his brother George dreamed of opening a joke shop and had a ton of items that they could use. Fred saw Listo walking through the corridors. Fred grabbed his Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and chased after Listo. Fred wanted to share a snack with Listo and see if he could find out if Listo’s friends had a fascination with Death Eaters

Blind Ninja was setting about his business in the castle after everyone went to sleep. He was intent on making sure that he was taken care of with whatever the hell was going on. As he walked passed the dungeons, he saw a flash of green light appear as a spell flew towards him. Blind Ninja heard the voice of Lord Voldemort crying out, AVADA KEDAVRA. Luckily for Blind Ninja, he had a shield around him and the spell bounced off, destroying the shield in the process. Lord Voldemort let out a curse but quickly disappeared without his advantage.

Blind Ninja ran on ahead, making mental notes on what had just transpired. What he did not see was that the floor had just been freshly waxed and there were a whole bunch of little spheres over the top of the stairs. Blind Ninja stepped on the water and slipped, sliding on the little spheres and falling over the top of the stairs. His wand flew out of his hand, as he tumbled over and over and eventually came to a stop. Blind Ninja’s head was cracked open from the fall and he was slowly bleeding out. He tried to make a plaintive cry, but was unable to be heard. Peeves materialized next to Blind Ninja and started to cackle. “Oh my! Oh my! Have a nice trip? See you next fall!” Peeves cackled and flew away as Blind Ninja finally expired.

Blind Ninja, playing as ???, the ???, has been killed.

—---------------

As everyone was settling into their seats, trying to figure out everything that occurred during the night, a purple smoke filled the room and brilliant flash of light appeared. “Xanjori, your name has been chosen. It is time for you to enter the Triwizard Tournament being held in America.” Before he could react, a bolt of lightning hit Xanjori, transporting him to places unknown.

Xanjori, playing as ???, a ??? has left the game.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney had solved the puzzle on her own and had gained an extra wish, but she did not correctly read the leaves and figure out which house would solve the puzzle.

A wish that was made by a member of the Order of the Phoenix and Hufflepuff house was granted.

A wish that was made by a member of the Order of the Phoenix and Ravenclaw house was granted.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney knew that more work had to be done. She had no time for idle chatter today. She decided to stay up in her tower and concentrate on the visions and wishes she has been receiving, letting her know everyone’s true desires.

Professor Trelawney will not be present in the Great Hall this day but she will receive the name of everyone who submits a wish today.

—---------------

It is now Day 2. Day 2 will end on Feb 12th at 8:00pm ET (GMT-5) or when majority is reached. With 23 players alive, majority is 12 votes.

 

[VoidKitten]

A lightning bolt crashed down into the Great Hall, surprising everyone present. When the smoke dissipated, they saw that Xanjori was standing there, no worse for the wear and possibly better off. Xanjori had slain the dragon, he had discovered the secrets of the lake, and fought his way through the Triwizard Maze and has come out the champion of the Tri-Wizard tournament.

Xanjori has returned to the game.

The group discussed at length who the suspicious ones were amongst them. The ones they felt were responsible for what was going on. Ultimately, one name rose above all others. The majority of those present felt Badger had something to do with these actions. Badger disagreed with them, but they would not be swayed.

Regardless, they grabbed Badger and put him at the head of the table. Without another word, all present cast spells simultaneously, obliterating Badger’s body.

Badger, playing as ???, the ???, has been eliminated.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney was exhausted. It took immense concentration for her to know which of people in the Great Hall were sending her wishes, but she hopes it will pay. She went to go lie down in bed, but heard the voice ring throughout all of Hogwarts. Another puzzle must be at play.

“Hello everyone. You should all know the drill by now. The player who figures out the puzzle will get a bonus to their house and enable the wishgranter to get another wish. Good luck!”

The voice cackled and then disappeared.

Another night had come and gone and while some slept in their nice beds others prowled the castle during the night. The Alliance and Death Eaters would make sure they were the victors in this castle. Who really cares what is happening. As long as they can exploit it to the fullest.

George Weasley had better things to do tonight than mess around or wait to be killed. He took a pair of Dungbombs and threw them at the entrance to the castle and closed the door behind him as he left. Now no one would follow as he went to Hogsmeade to see about getting some prime real estate.

Lucius Malfoy was wandering around the corridors when he heard a noise. He noticed The Homely Man walk by him, put his bag down, and head into the bathroom. While The Homely Man was preoccupied, Lucius Malfoy dug through The Homely Man’s belongings to see what he could do.

Harry Potter found Dreyski quickly and immediately engaged him in a duel. The spells flew back and forth, each striking and countering all the spells cast. Before long, the rooster outside crowed and both parties begrudgingly went their own ways, as this fight was clearly ruled a no contest.

Newt Scamander had his trusty briefcase and was trying to keep a good eye on it. However, he had tripped heading down the Grand Staircase, dropping his case. It burst open and many magical creatures escaped. They stampeded through the halls and ran into The Homely Man and Randolph, causing them to scatter in opposite directions.

Albus Dumbledore sat in his office and thought deep and hard about the strange events happening at the castle. He was unsure about what the next steps were. However, he had an idea. He quickly strode out of his office and found The Homely Man and decided to spend time behind him, as they enjoyed a cup of tea.

Lord Voldemort cackled as he plotted his plans and planned his plots. He decided that tonight he had enough of a pesky house that had been bothering him for too long. He cast a spell that would make it so those members of that house were more likely to sleep soundly tonight.

CWE was pigging out in the Great Hall when he thought he heard someone behind him. CWE quickly turned to look, but didn’t see anything. He shrugged, finished his meal, and started to leave. However, one of the large statues in the Great Hall started to fall at precisely the right time and landed on CWE crushing him beneath the stone.

Peeves jumped out of a nearby suit of armor and grinned gleefully. “Ah another unfortunate accident. Whatever could be happening?” Peeves cackled and flew off. CWE could not move as the life faded from his body. Before he passed out, the voice of Godric Gryffindor filled his head. “My son, take rise once more. You have more to do here. But this life comes at a cost.”

The statue magically started to repair itself and CWE stood up, still breathing, but he felt significantly weaker.

Severus Snape stayed in his Potions classroom all night. He spent time mixing up a secret formula. This potion should allow Snape to commune with the hidden voices and entities that have been shaking things up at Hogwarts. Hopefully, they can provide some answers.

Peter Pettigrew was skulking through the halls when he heard a couple of people approaching him. He quickly changed into his rat form and ran out into the open. Both Xanjori and 3puppies shrieked and ran away from each other.

Dobby had felt a newfound sense of being since being freed from the Malfoy’s servitude. He swore he would never let anyone feel like he did ever. Dobby found MTR and took up a defensive position outside his bedroom, daring anyone to try and hurt MTR.

Hermione Granger had a new book she was reading. This one was all about the exploits of The Alliance and the evil deeds they had done. Armed with this knowledge, she looked for Jarrod, intent upon seeing how interested in The Alliance he was.

Hagrid was in his hut, making up a nice pot of stew. He knew weird things were going on at the castle. He whistled and a few of Aragog’s family showed up. “Go to the castle and find Jarrod…you know what to do.” The spiders quickly went to the castle and webbed Jarrod up good. He was going to be really lethargic the next day after having to work to get these webs off of him.

Argus Filch scowled as he looked at the mess everywhere. “These damn kids making a mess everywhere.” Ever since the strangeness had been going on, Filchfound himself able to cast magic. So of course, he was using it any place that he could. As he was cleaning, he happened to see 3puppies walking by. Filch cast Protego on 3puppies, bidding him a safe night.

Mad-Eye Moody was…mad. He just wanted to fight something. He had considered turning one of the students into a ferret, but thought better of it. Instead he decided to follow Xanjori and secretly cast a charm behind Xanjori’s back that would give Xanjori a bit of a boost this night.

The Marauder’s Map unfurled itself without any command. It had a different task tonight. It stayed open all night to keep an eye on Jarrod and who would traverse the general area.

Gellert Grindelwald stalked the halls with a purpose. He was going to take someone out and didn’t care who got in his way. He didn’t care about subversion or subtlety. Someone was going to die. He noticed Caito casually talking to one of the ghosts trying to see if they knew anything. Grindelwald fired the Imperius curse at Caito. Caito could not resist the curse as he walked over to a coat of arms, yanked the sword off, and slit his own throat.

Gellert Grindelwald walked over to Caito’s corpse and cast Incendio upon the corpse, ensuring no one would be able to figure out who it was.

Caito, playing as ???, the ???, has been killed.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney was exhausted, but she awoke refreshed after her strenuous activities last night. She decided to head down to the Great Hall today and be amongst the people. Maybe she would find out some more clues from them. But by leaving her tower, she would no longer know who specifically sent the wishes.

Still it was a risk she would take.

—---------------

Peeves cackled as he watched DivaSmurf drop his wand as he was heading down to the Great Hall for the meeting. "Aha! What is this? Well, you know what say. FINDERS KEEPERS. I think I will hold onto this and maybe Diva will get it back...if he is lucky.

[VoidKitten]

The day was continuing as everyone had their discussions on the happenings within the castle. Suddenly, 3puppies burst into flames and disintegrated within seconds. There were not even ashes left of this poor wizard.

3puppies, playing as Newt Scamander, an Order Bus Driver, has been modkilled. He was a member of Slytherin House.

Please do not discuss this modkill. You may now all continue posting.

 

[VoidKitten]

Diva did not have luck finding his wand during the day yesterday, but on the way back to his common room, he found his wand dropped on the floor. It looks like Peeves must have dropped it when he flew away quickly. Diva gleefully stashed the wand and continued on his way.

—---------------

Hagrid had a flair for the dramatic. He knew this. His showing yesterday may have surprised people, but maybe this next thing will work. Hagrid blew another whistle. A cry was heard and Fawkes the phoenix flew into Hagrid’s hut. Hagrid moved some furniture out of the way and revealed a secret door. This door led to a room filled with many coffins, containing the bodies of the fallen. Hagrid had been secretly spiriting them away before they were fully killed and keeping them alive on ice for as long as he could. He made his decision tonight however. He strode over to the coffin containing the body of Blind Ninja and had Fawkes cry on his wounds.

Blind Ninja started to stir and was right as rain quickly. He thanked Hagrid and went back to the castle. Hagrid waved goodbye and then looked behind himself at the other coffins. The occupants were now rotting away.

Blind Ninja has been resurrected and has returned to the game.

Badger, playing as Luna Lovegood, the Order Psychic, has been eliminated. He was Gryffindor.

Caito, playing as ???, the ???, has been killed.

Grindelwald was stalking the halls and approached an unsuspecting Satsu. He cast a Stunning charm at Satsu’s back and knocked the poor wizard out. Grindlewald chuckled and went on his way.

Argus Filch was feeling better than ever. He had all of this magic and he just felt right. He was in a good mood and left his office in search of his beloved Mrs. Norris. On his way, he ran across Psycho and cast a Protego on him, bidding him a good night. Filch found Mrs. Norris and he grabbed her and cuddled her, spinning around in circles with her. A bunch of people were coming around the corner and Filch quickly stopped and scowled at them. As soon as they were gone, he started dancing with Mrs. Norris again.

He cast Protego upon Mrs. Norris and smiled at her. But something was going wrong. Mrs. Norris was growing bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and wasn’t stopping. Eventually she became so big, she exploded into a million cat pieces.

Filch stared at his dead companion, dumbfounded. Then he let out a scream and started shaking. His power level started to increase as his emotions came out over Mrs. Norris’ death.

Peeves started to come around the corner and saw that CWE had already died. “Damn. There goes my plan.” He sped off to locations unknown.

CWE, playing as Mrs. Norris, the Order Backup, has been killed. He was Gryffindor.

Harry Potter confronted Randolph and challenged him to a magical duel. The two went at it, but Randolph emerged victorious. Harry was left looking around for his wand as it had flown out of his hand. He was full of self doubt now. Hopefully he would find it tomorrow sometime.

Albus Dumbledore was constantly in thought. But he knew he needed some tea before he would be able to solve this fully. He decided to visit MTR and have a nice cuppa with him while ensuring MTR was between the door and he.

Nagel was in the corridors with his own plan. He constructed an illusion that swapped the passages and made them go the opposite ways. Both Dreyski and The Homely Man were skipping down the hall and each ended up going the wrong way.

Draco Malfoy had located the Room of Requirement and inside discovered the Mirror of Erised. He carried it around with him, ensuring actions would be sent flying back if he were accosted tonight.

Mad-Eye Moody located Kareemah and cast a quickening charm on her, making sure she would get around the castle more quickly.

Lucius Malfoy searched the castle high and low and was able to find Satsu. Lucius cast a confounding charm on Satsu ensuring his presence would be diminished tomorrow.

The Marauder’s Map was up to no good as usual. It unfurled itself and set its sights on Kareemah and would keep an eye on where she would go tonight.

Fred Weasley isn't taking any chances tonight either. He quickly headed over to Kareemah’s room and hung out behind her while they played Gobstones.

Dobby decided to stick with the same course of action that he had done the previous night. He took up a position outside of MTR and goaded any ghosts or passerby to fight him.

Queenie Goldstein was so happy to be here at Hogwarts. She had only ever seen the US school prior to this. She stayed in her common room but made a bet with herself on who would receive the attention tomorrow. Maybe if she was right, she’d feel super confident on the next night.

Severus Snape hit his potions again and attempted to channel some communication with the unknown spirits around and get some answers.

Lord Voldemort had plans for tonight. Grand plans. He snuck through the castle rounding up three people that he wanted. All three were placed under an Imperius curse and led to an empty classroom.

Lord Voldemort lined them all up and waved his wand. Beams of light appeared over the heads of each person. The beams started to move around quickly and Voldemort closed his eyes so he couldn’t tell which would land on who.

Eventually the beams of light came to a halt and fired into the person below. Xanjori was hit by a yellow light and he felt faster. Morrison was hit by a purple light and he dropped to his knees, severely weakened. Lora was hit by a green light and he started to feel his soul leave his body. However, he was able to throw up a shield and block the attack. The shield broke and Lord Voldemort cursed, but he left swiftly, leaving everyone to their own devices.

Before Tildey went into the Great Hall, she decided to stop off at one of the bathrooms. She went into the stall and saw a cat there. She hissed at it and it ran, but all of a sudden the sinks inside the bathroom started to move. A giant hole was opening in the ground. Tildey looked into the hole and heard a slithering and hissing sound coming from within. She quickly ran away and went to the Great Hall. Her bladder would have to wait.

The basilisk has been accidentally released into Hogwarts.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney was going to stay in her tower tonight and focus on knowing which of the people in the Great Hall were making entreaties to her. She would not be present at the meeting today.

—---------------

A wish that was made by a member of Order of the Phoenix and Hufflepuff house was granted.

Everyone sat around the Great Hall being very inquisitive and trying to figure things out. Like earlier, as they were discussing. Two players burst into flames simultaneously until nothing was left but ash.

The candles went out in the Great Hall and everyone present took this as a sign that it was now night time.

Kareemah, playing as Gellert Grindelwald, the Alliance Godfather, has been modkilled. She was Slytherin.

Divasmurf, playing as the Marauder’s Map, an Order Tracker, has been modkilled. He was Gryffindor.

Please do not discuss the modkills.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney put down her books and settled into bed. She had choices to make tonight on which of the people’s wishes she wanted to grant.

—---------------

There will be no puzzle tonight because yall are disappointing. Also, going forward, the rule yall decided to break will result in death instead of a silence.

No house will gain a bonus and the Wish-Granter will be able to grant two wishes.

It is now Night 4. Night 4 will end on 2/18 at 8:00pm ET or when all actions are submitted. Actions must be submitted by 6:00pm ET for them to be valid.

Matthieu knew he needed some extra studies and he headed on over to Divination class. Under the tutelage of Professor Trelawney, he learned how to really read the tea leaves and how to communicate with the beings that have forced everyone here. After his intense lesson, he left and headed to the common room.
—---------------

During the night a change was made! Llettuce had mysteriously disappeared and her place Pablo Diablo appeared instead!

Pablo Diablo has subbed into the game.

—---------------

Nagel had enough of everything that was going on. He would ensure that his group would rule this school. Nagel concentrated and cast a spell that would leave most people outside of the Alliance stricken in their beds.

Lucius Malfoy knew the Death Eaters needed to strategize. They worked closely together and were able to teach each other different specialities and actions.

Argus Filch was so upset with everything that happened. Especially with the death of his beloved feline. He swore no one else would have to suffer a similarly cruel fate while he was on duty. Filch left his office and walked through the halls. He passed Xanjori and cast Protego on him. Further down the hall Filch passed The Homely Man and also cast a Protego on him, hoping to keep both of them safe and sound.

Peeves was out and about in the castle tonight and had a whole load of mischief planned. In fact, his next victim was on his way. Blind Ninja was not looking at the ceiling where a chandelier was magically being sawed through. Blind Ninja walked under the chandelier as it plummeted on top of him, crushing him. Peeves gleefully flew over to Blind Ninja and taunted him. “Ah. You really should get some of that weight off of your chest.”

Blind Ninja, playing as Vinda Rosier, the Alliance JOAT, has been killed. He was Slytherin.

Hagrid was fed up. He didn’t like the fact that some people were not giving their full attention to this situation. There was no way they could figure things out if people were not engaged. With that in mind, he called over Buckbeak and both of them went to the castle. They didn’t have to go far to find Peter Griffin, asleep while eating a sandwich. Hagrid scoffed and whispered to Buckbeak. Buckbeak ran forward and started mauling Peter Griffin, until not much was left other than a mangled corpse.

Peter Griffin, playing as Minerva McGonagall, an Order Absorber, has been killed. He was Ravenclaw.

Nagel was not done tonight. After he took care of his earlier business, he hunted down down his target. He was finally able to locate Matthieu doing shadow puppets on the wall of his room. Nagel wasted no time and whispered “Avada Kedavra” shooting a green spell out of his wand. Matthieu immediately froze up and fell over dead.

Matthieu, playing as Fred Weasley, an Order Mason JOAT, has been killed. He was Slytherin.

—---------------

Future was heading to the Great Hall when he was accosted by one of the ghosts. They had heard him singing in his sleep last night and loved every moment of it. They continued to bother him over and over until he finally agreed to join the Hogwarts choir. As he was quite behind everyone else, they told him that he needed extra practice.

—---------------

Everyone had assembled in the Great Hall and whispers were spreading. However, they did not see Listo and were unsure of where he was. It was like he had just vanished. However, he had not really vanished. Listo woke up and found himself inside the Forbidden Forest. Creatures of various sizes skittered and scurried around him. He cautiously stood to his feet and wondered how the hell he would get out of this.

Listo has left the game.

—---------------

Professor Trelawney left her tower today and decided to spend time amongst everyone to see what she could learn. Since she was not at the source of her greatest power, she would not know who was making entreaties to her today.

—---------------

A wish that was made by a member of Order of the Phoenix and Hufflepuff house was granted.

The majority of those within the Great Hall came to an agreement on a solitary name. Psycho was chosen regardless of the valiant defense he had mounted. They put him at the front of the table and blasted them with their wands, destroying Psycho’s body.

However, something unexpected occurred. From where Psycho stood, a ghost arose that looked exactly like Psycho. “Ah well then. Guess I am sticking around.”

Psycho, playing as ???, the ???, has been eliminated.

Psycho is now a ghost. He does not count towards parity and cannot vote or use any actions. He cannot be voted on or had any actions used upon him. He will still be able to post in thread.

—---------------

There will be no puzzle tonight. I don’t feel well. However, the player who sends me via discord the closest spreadsheet (players and their characters) will gain a bonus for their house tonight. If there is a tie, the first one I get will be received. Submit these in your private channel. I will not tell you if you are correct or which house got the bonus.

As Argus Filch was heading back to his office after the Great Hall, he heard a small meow. A cat, named Crookshanks, had found his way over and wanted to become friends. Filch picked up the cat and twirled around with it, promising to himself that he would not kill this one.

—---------------

Peter Pettigrew had expertise with staying hidden. He cast the Disillusionment Charm on his teammates and went into rat form. He would ensure that everyone was extra sneaky this evening.

Queenie Goldstein knew that changes needed to be made to ensure Grindelwald’s goals came to fruition. She strategized and learned some new tricks while teaching others some new ones.

Harry Potter had felt rejuvenated from his time in the Forbidden Forest and sought out his target with renewed energy. He found The Homely Man and defeated him in combat instantly. The Homely Man was left downtrodden and searching for his wand tonight.

Mad-Eye Moody was following FutureHold throughout the corridors. He was trying to catch up with him to speak, but Future was moving too quickly to the common room. Moody quickly cast a spell that would allow Future to get there even faster.

Dobby had wanted some action. He decided to try and find a new spot to camp out tonight. He wanted to ensure that no one ever had to feel bad at someone else's expense. He sought out Robozerim and set up shop, challenging anyone who dared hurt Robo.

Argus Filch was really happy with his new cat. He was just full of joy. Of course he missed his old one, but this new one was awesome. He decided to spread his joy and went out into the halls. Filch ran across Lora and cast Protego on him. He continued down the hall and ran across Jarrod. He tried to cast Protego, but it didn’t work. Filch thought for a moment and went back to his old training and shoved Jarrod into the locker. “Hopefully that keeps you safe. I didn’t lock it of course”

Filch continued through the halls and ran across MTR. Protego still was not working so he looked around and found another cabinet and quickly threw MTR inside. “Here, stay safe!” Unfortunately, the cabinet that MTR was thrown into was filled with venomous vials that broke. MTR screamed in pain as different venoms and poisons covered his body. He started to fade in and out of consciousness. Even worse, George Weasley had used this cabinet to store one of his latest items, the Pyrotechtrix. These also ignited causing the cabinet to explode in a various amount of fun colors as MTR ceased to exist.

MTR, playing as Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater Backup, has been killed. He was Gryffindor.

Severus Snape sat in his dungeon classroom and imbibed more of his potions to try and glean some information about what was happening.

Professor Dumbledore wanted to spend some time with someone tonight and have some more tea. He went to hang out with Xanjori and sat behind them as they had a nice cup.

Peeves was having a wonderful time with all of these new changes. He gleefully went from corridor to corridor causing a wide variety of pranks and other things. However, he had a new target in mind. He flew down and found The Homely Man standing near a torch. The torch slowly unscrewed itself from the wall and fell next to The Homely Man, causing him to jump. However, the carpet he was standing on lit into flame with The Homely Man following shortly after. As THM ran around and turned to ash, Peeves cackled and flew away gleefully.

The Homely Man, playing as Lucius Malfoy, a Death Eater JOAT, has been killed. He was Hufflepuff.

Listo, playing as Harry Potter, an Order Duelist, has been killed. He was Hufflepuff

FutureHold had located a secret chest that had a cool set of robes in them on the way to the Great Hall this morning. He quickly donned them excitedly and headed to the Great Hall.

There was much discussion during the day on the recent events and ultimately the group together chose Dreyski as the most suspicious of them all. He spoke his piece, but none were swayed. Dreyski was brought to the front of the table and summarily targeted by a number of hexes, jinxes, curses, and charms. Dreyski ceased to exist.

Dreyski, playing as Rubeus Hagrid, an Order Super JOAT, has been eliminated. He was Gryffindor.

Pablo Diablo was walking out of the Great Hall and decided he wanted to cast an invisibility spell on himself tonight. He had been practicing. He said the words and the wand misfired, accidentally hitting him with a Ligtningo Rodus spell. Pablo crackled with electricity, as if he were pulling in electricity and magic from everywhere.

—---------------

Queenie Goldstein decided it was best for her and her allies to be sneaky tonight. She cast an illusion charm that would make it difficult for anyone to detect things tonight.

George Weasley was rummaging through his pack and found the item he was looking for: Fanged Frisbees. He knew these could surprise someone and back quite a punch. He set out into the castle and left the Fanged Frisbee where he knew Pablo Diablo would find it.

Severus Snape took another deep swig from his flask. He really liked this connection he had and would continue asking questions to figure out what was going on.

Mad-Eye Moody was up and about again. He was in the halls and located Future. Moody cast a quickening charm on Future, allowing him to get around the castle more quickly.

Peeves was giggling non-stop. He had another surprise planned for someone and he was so close to meeting his goals. He didn’t believe in unfairness with his pranks. He wanted to make sure everyone felt the pranks equally. His target was heading into the prefect’s bathroom getting ready to get clean. Unfortunately, Peeves had replaced the water with an acid.

Peeves’ target was about to get into the water and Peeves was watching anxiously. However, Peeves’ second trap went off earlier than anticipated causing Peeves to get knocked into the acidic water. Peeves howled and howled, as the acid was so strong, it could even kill the supernatural. Eventually, Peeves was no more and all was silent.

Lora, playing as Peeves, a Neutral Killer, has been killed. He was Ravenclaw.

Draco Malfoy was a master of chaos. He had worked on his spellset and created a new spell that would hopefully protect him tonight. He cast the spell which would make sure any actions aimed at him tonight would go wild.

Dobby was out and about in the castle again tonight. He decided to set up shop around Future’s common room to ensure someone would pay if they came after Future tonight.

Argus Filch was content. He had a new cat and the castle seemed quiet. There was not a ton of messes to clean up and crazy students causing a ruckus. What is this? A dream? He excitedly got up and decided to get to business tonight.

Filch went out into the halls and ran across Pablo and cast a Protego spell on him. Shortly thereafter, he found Future and cast a Protego spell on him too. Even further into the castle, Filch ran across Satsu and cast a Protego on him as well. Before Filch could move on, Satsu immediately started to scream. Instead of being protected, Satsu started to melt into a puddle. Within seconds, there was only a liquidy mass where Satsu was standing. Filch stared dumbstruck and ran off into the castle.

Satsu, playing as Lord Voldemort, a Death Eater Godfather, has been killed. He was Hufflepuff.

Val, playing as Dobby, an Order Bodyguard has been killed. He was Slytherin.

—---------------

Dumbledore looked on the night’s events with glee. His plans had finally come to fruition. Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort were now out of the way. Dumbledore was now the one true wizard who outlasted them all. And, he had gotten a taste of the real power of dark magic.

Darkness filled Hogwarts as Albus Dumbledore gathered the remnants of the Alliance and Death Eaters together. “My friends. Let us not worry about our petty bickering nor our differences. It is time for us now to come together and destroy the Order once and for all.”

Everyone present nodded their agreement and The Alliance of Death Eaters was formed. Dumbledore threw off his guise, revealing himself to be Supreme Leader Dumbledore.

“Now, let’s have some fun.”

—---------------

Professor Trelawney knew that everything was starting to come to an end. She decided to stay down in the Great Hall today. Unfortunately, she would not know who was entreating her tonight.

—---------------

A wish that was made by a member of Order of the Phoenix and Ravenclaw house was granted.
