Class Summaries

ARITHMANCY
Numbers ... Not everyone's idea of a good lesson. Addition, mathematics ... Words no one likes to hear. Taught this term by the Headmistress, Kildara Snape, it sounds a little more appealing. Life Paths, Destiny, Heart's Desire, Soul's Urge, Personality. All words heard this term. And, an interesting array of Seven Destiny Numbers. Nearly a whole class of them. Interestingly coincidental don't you think!! Arithmancy = Mathematics ... Wizard Style!!

DEFENCE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS
Taught by former Auror Serena Black, the students learnt about Boggarts. Some finding out their worst fears. Others making fun of other students. What will next term hold?

DIVINATION
Nothing like the Divination you know. Professor Caterina Sunwood knows her stuff! This seer knows how to hold a class and keep the students attention, without being wierd. A lesson by the Lake with a giant bonfire sound appealing? Well, try out Divination!

CHARMS
Levitation. Non-Verbals. Show-offs. Whispered arguements. All things you might have seen in this terms Charm's class. Taught this term by Olivia Tudor, the class started with a contest of egos, and ended with a mysterious letter that made made the Professor run from the room.

HISTORY OF MAGIC
When you think of history class, you think of boring lectures that seem to last forever. Not under the direction of the shmexy new teacher, Lucien Dalton. Take a walk through time, watching as it unfolds before you. Sounds fun, right?

TRANSFIGUARTION
Food turning people into animals? All in one lesson, students were turned into horses, snakes, panthers, and even an elephant! Yes, an elephant! Then they learnt about Animagi. I don't think much learning went on in that class. Most people had another thing on their minds!

AUROR PREPARATION
Patronuses. The topic of the first lesson. While everyone was able to do them, the thoughts that ran through their minds, the memories they chose, weren't ones you would expect!

ASTRONOMY
Well. What can we say about Astronomy. The new professor, Kaiia Blackthorn has a razor sharp tongue and an even sharper temper. In between arguements between Professor Blackthorn and certain students, and homework setting on fire, students did actually learn something!

CHARACTER SUMMARIES!!

Okay so I'll start off with Kildara, Danika, Sam, Gabriella and Ceallach! LOL

HEADMISTRESS KILDARA SNAPE
Convicted Death Eater teaching our children? I think the Ministry's gone bonkers! Miss Snape is up to her old tricks. Seduction, betrayal, temptation, lies and heartache. All in one term! The new leader of the Death Eaters, Voldemort's ex-Right-Hand, Arithmancy Professor, and Headmistress, all rolled into one extraordinary woman!
While her antics used to get her in trouble, she is now the one that leads the pack. You can't tell yourself off! In between teaching classes, being pregnant, her fiancee leaving her, losing her baby, sleeping with students, falling in love, with her student, Caeleb Dracus, her most loyal servant, and running a school, Kildara has managed to run the Death Eaters like a well oiled machine, with ambitions her former master could only dream of!
Only now, she has to watch her back. Her every move is being watched by the Order, and she has one of her students hell-bent on murdering her.

DANIKA PEVERELL
The new Slytherin Quidditch Captain has always had her share of toils, and mishaps, but this term, things seemed to have taken a turn for the worst. She almost lost her best friend and boyfriend because she was stupid enough to get caught with her behind-the-scenes lover, her best-friend's boyfriend, Sam Hearn. Coming to school at the beginning of term, hiding her depression over her parents dieing in Azkaban over the Summer, she embarked on a dangerous downward spiral, of booze and sex (not rped ... too mature lol, and against board rules!) Eventually leading to her admitting her feelings for her enemy, Gryffindor Prefect, Kelly Black. But, unfortunately, that didn't stop her from being the promiscuous. She managed to maintain an affair, of sorts, with fellow Slytherin, Raven Athlon, until Raven let slip to Kelly that she'd been with Danika. Things lead to other things, and, although Kelly stayed with Dani, their relationship was strained, eventually leading to them having to break-up, due to being on different sides. Danika is rather distraught, and almost lost another friend, in Krysta Hedwig, when she slept with Sebastian Morter, Krys' boyfriend, although Dankia didn't know that at the time!

SAM HEARN
The new Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. Well, what can we say about Sam. He's young, muscular, hot ... and foolish. He started the term by going out with Caitlin Lucas, his behind-the-scene lover's best friend, stupidly getting himself caught with Danika, causing Danika's boyfriend, Max Randolf, to break his nose, and almost losing his relationship with Caitlin. For a while after, Sam wasn't able to pluck up the courage to talk to Caitlin, but once he did they were fine. However, he embarked on an affair, with Ravenclaw Prefect, Isabella Peters, eventually making their relationship official and public by breaking up with Caitlin. He had managed to stay monogamous, until a small tender moment between him and Kelly Black, led to other things, Sam taking away what was left of Kelly's innocence, and a mistake kiss with the Headmistress, Kildara Snape. But, now he is extremely happy with his own home, and beautiful girlfriend. No wait ... fiancee. He proposed to Isabella on the holidays.

GABRIELLA SANCHEZ
Poor, quiet, lovable, Gabriella Sanchez. The Hufflepuff Prefect has got herself int a spot of bother this term. Falling pregnant. Yeah I know. Way to cause a stir! And her boyfriend, Tobias Black, proposed. 15, pregnant and engaged. And now Tobias seems to have disappeared, she's a bit on the confused side, not knowing exactly what's going on! Good thing she has a loving family and fantastic friends!

CEALLACH O RAGHALLAIGH
The new Irish transfer student, with a reputation worse than Danika's. Within a week of arriving in England, she'd seduced the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, managed to get a kiss out of Caeleb Dracus, and slept with Raven Athlon, and twins, Zach and Aidan Fischer. The Irish Princess really gets around. But, when she comes back next term, she's determined to show her parents, who sent her away because she was embarrassing them, that just because she's young, doesn't mean she's stupid.

[Krysta Hedwig]

KRYSTA HEDWIG
After a quiet start to the term spending a lot of time alone, Krysta finally managed to break out of her depression when she caught sight of Danika Peverell. After a brief but passionate fling the two remain friends. Ironically it was to Krysta that Kelly Black turned when her world began to turn upside down. Krysta focused all her energes to trying to help the troubled girl, but to no avail, Kelly seemed to be beyond help.
Love arrived surprisingly in the form of Sebastian Morter; a transfer from Durmstrang whose dark past had left him broken and scarred. Somehow managing to break through his barriers the two share a strong bond and are very much in love.
With her 17th birthday passing Krysta's body has matured, now able to handle the extra power bestowed upon her by heritage as the last remaining member of an ancient Coven. Look out bad guys, she's got power and she's no longer afraid to use it.


CAELEB DRACUS
After almost being expelled for using the Cruciatus Curse on his ex girlfriend (Krysta Hedwig) Caeleb made a late entry back to Hogwarts this term, but oh my what an impact he made. Instantly making a beeline for the Headmistress he's loved for so long the two have started a passionate and genuinely loving affair.
This hasn't stopped him causing waves amongst the other students however. After some brief flirting Caeleb and Kelly Black are now sworn enemies after he discovered she was responsible for Kildara's miscarriage.
Caeleb surprised hmself this term by having a one-time passionate encounter with Ravenclaw Prefect Isabella Peters, revealing that the beast does have a softer side after all. Even now he still has a soft spot for the girl. Let's hope Dara doesn't find out. Caeleb also shared a kiss with new girl Ceallach o' Raghallaigh after they connected over a bottle of whisky.


PROFESSOR KITANIA HEDWIG
Kit's term started off quite quietly, joining the staff quite late on. The peace was shattered one night when Krys banged on the door with a distraught Kelly Black in-toe. After learning what Kelly had done to Dara's baby she went to Emilia, her old friend. Although Emilia is now a deatheather, Kit could think of no one else who would understand the situation. Both Kit and Emilia agreed to keep an eye on Kelly and try to stop her doing anything stupid.
However upon learning that Kelly had tried to attack Dara in hospital she went to Serena and called a meeting with The Order of The Phoenix to decide what should be done about the situation.


PROFESSOR SIMON HEDWIG
After living in Romania running a dragon colony for the past 4 years Simon has returned home to the United Kingdom to keep an eye on his sister Krysta since she came into her new powers. Accepting the position of Care of Magical Creatures Professor he is all set to start a new life with his little sister.
Barely hours in the country and he's already caught the attention of the ladies. A chance meeting in Flourish and Blotts with fellow teacher Caitlyn McFuzz led to him making his first date in years. However he couldn't help noticing the stunning looks and sweet personality of Elizabeth Peters at an Order meeting. Which will he choose?

[isabellapeters]

Isabella Peters
Well where to begin with the girl that's managed to go from know it all prefect with no boyfriend to know it all prefect with a fiancee? She started off this school year on a good note, and became Sam Hearn, Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain and Hogwarts' Pretty Boy's mistress in the Ravenclaw common room. When she realised she was falling for him though, she was glad that he was too and making it official was one of her best memories. She had to deal with one of her worst fears in a CoMC lesson when frist year, Chris Marquez put a spider on her. Realising he was muggle born, she took him under her wing and taught him more about the wizarding world. She's had her weak moments though, realising that she also had feelings for her best friend Andrew McDougall and kissing him. Something that she got into trouble for later. There was also a one time very passionate enocounter with Caleb Dracus, the only other person that Bella had given herself too. No one knows about it... and hopefully it'll stay that way. Now she's starting school again as an engaged sixteen year old, rapidly approaching her own Coming Of Age!

Angelina Newell
Angel had a very quiet term at Hogwarts, focusing on her school work and not much else, although she was always around if her friends needed someone to talk to. Having been left in England with her aunt and uncle, Angel was able to attend Kyrsta's coming of age, and got her first taste of alcohol. She also met a very nice boy called Aiden Fischer and his twin Zach, but they both seemed to be taken by Ceallach, so she'll keep silent. Her wand was broken as well, which was not a very nice thing to have to deal with, especially since she doesn't know who's fault it actually was. This coming term though, she plans on helping everyone out more often, being the little 'angel' everyone likes.

Elizabeth Peterson
Liz has had a very hetic first term, what with having a student transform into an elephant in her classroom during the first lesson! Working with Deatheaters was not her cup of tea, especially since Emilia was there, but she kept her prejudices under wraps and got on civily. Having her best friend Magesta there was always a good thing and she was happy when Kitania came to teach. She hasn't had to tell many students off, although she did get into a fight with Gryffindor student, Kelly Black, whilst trying to defend Raven Athlon. Being put under the Cruciatus Curse was a big wake up call for her and she made it clear during a meeting that she wouldn't be liked by Kelly any time in the near future. Also at that meeting, Liz caught site of Simon Hedwig, a person who she knows nothing about, except that he's Krysta's brother and Kitania's friend. Who know where that's going.

[Kaiia Blackthorn]

Chris Marquez
This was Christopher Marquez’s first term at Hogwarts. Being muggle-born, he’s had a lot to learn, especially as he didn’t get his letter until three days before term started. He’s curious and outgoing, and loves the magical world. He also loves bugs, which was how he came to scare Isabella Peters, when he put a spider on her arm. Luckily, she decided to teach him about the wizard world, and even stopped him getting a faceful of Venomous Tentacular during a herbology lesson! On the train home, Chris learnt more about wizard life outside school, when he got talking to Jinx Hamilton.

Professor Kaiia Blackthorn
Kaiia, who formerly taught at Durmstrang, has already established a reputation among her Astronomy students as a very strict, sarcastic teacher, who thinks nothing of handing out unpleasant punishments when she sees fit. She had a confrontation with Caeleb Dracus, but they seem to have established an uneasy truce for now. Kaiia had a long talk with one of the other Professors, Emilia Pettigrew, and told her a little about her past as the wife of Damon Blackthorn, a wealthy and powerful Death Eater, who was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts. She also rejoined the Death Eaters, after convincing Kildara Snape that she had been absent from the battle on Lord Voldemort’s orders. However, Kaiia still feels very isolated, and tends to brood obsessively over her memories of her husband. On the positive side, however, in her animagus form as a barn owl, she has discovered that Hogwarts provides excellent hunting, and most nights she supplements her supper with a tasty fieldmouse or two!

[Sebastian Morter]

Sebastian Morter
Sebastian joined Hogwarts mid-term, bruised battered and completely closed off to the world. He hated the school, the vengeance and loathing steming from his parents. After getting sorted, Sebastian tried to distract himself from painful memories by getting caught up with the Slytherin Princess and Captain Danika Peverell. But distractiosn only last so long. After a chance meeting in the library, Sebastian found his sunshine opening up for the first time to someone other than his pillow. The legendary Krysta Hedwig. One touch and the two instantly connected forming a connection so strong they knew each other better than they knew themselves. Next term will only open up more barriers.....

Amelina Alibrandi
For the Italian Princess, the term started off on a low. It took her some time to figure herself out, get her head around the chaos ensuing around the school as her friends found themselves finding life and love a little difficult to handle. Several weeks later she smiled again as Alexander Ashstone literally fell head over heels infront of her. After a trip to Hogsmeade the two rather fortunately left their future in the hands of School Matchmaker Bella Peters who got the two together. Both had to settle into each other and next term will only provide more obstacles.

Bridget Walken
The newcomer teacher to the school, Bridget opened her arms to the Charms and children when she took up the post of Charms Proffessor at Hogwarts. Single mother of two, Bridget found it hard to move past her divorce and smile but her two children gave her hope to keep going. Hopefully the next term will provide some laughter and joy for the new teacher.

[serenablack]

Alexander Ashstone

For the Slytherin prince, the term started off pretty boring. Well if you could count being made slytherin prefect and locking the head girl in the broom shed boring. Several weeks later he tripped over someone, Amelina Alibrandi and after a trip to Hogsmeade the two got together with the help of Isabella Peters. Alex also had his hands full looking after his younger sister Michelle, who looks set to become the next Danika Peverell.

Serena Black

The ex-auror turned professor and the order leader, Serena took over Defence against the dark arts and auror prep. The professor had a busy term, looking after the order and some of the younger members, intent on getting in to trouble and her engagement to the head healer of St Mungos, Adam Lewis.

Anastasia Willson

The Ravenclaw princess had a rather… interesting start to the term. Her parents were both killed in a car crash and she was sent off to live with her evil grandparents. Being locked in her bedroom for the starting week of the term Anastasia turned to alcohol which basically made it worse, but with the help of her best friend, Isabella Peters she gave that up once she returned to the school. The rest of the term was pretty normal for the girl. What will next term hold?

[darkangelmandy]

Raven Melody Athlon

Raven entered her 5th year with an interesting start, she flirted with Slytherin Quidditch Captain Danika Peverell and eventually had strong feelings for her. They had an affair while Danika was still with Gryffindor Prefect Kelly Black, and Raven had confessed her true feelings for Danika although it was too late. Kelly found out and used a non verbal unforgivable curse on her which luckily was stopped by Professor Elizabeth Peterson, though Raven was still hurt quite a bit, both physically and emotionally. Towards the end of the term, she disappeared from the school for 3 months and returned a few days before Christmas holidays. Upon her return, she met the gorgeous seducer Ceallach o' Raghallaigh and ended up having sex with her in one of the empty dungeons, though she hadn't become attached to her. Her sister, Cassandra Athlon, was permitted to be allowed at the school a year early by Headmistress Kildara Snape due to circumstances at home.

Not much is known about Raven's future for next term, but when she returns.. hopefully things will end up better for her.

Megan Savannah O'Reilly

Megan came into the school towards the end of the term as a transfer from Kilkenny, Ireland. She hasn't made her mark upon the school quite yet, but pretty soon everyone will know her name. She used to be friends with Ceallach o' Raghallaigh until Ceallach stole Megan's boyfriend from her and she's never forgiven her for that. This Irish lass knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to take it, no matter what the consequences are.

Cassandra Nicole Athlon

This 10 year old, got to see what was in store for her next year, thanks to Headmistress Kildara Snape, who allowed her to come to the school a year early, although she was not allowed to participate in any of the classes.

Cassandra's big sister, Raven, showed her around the Slytherin Common Room which she hoped to truly be allowed in next year. Who knows what Cassandra will do next, all she knows is that her big sister is there to keep her safe.

[rosescarlett]

Rose Scarlett

Rose rather enjoyed her term as a new Ravenclaw prefect. She found friends, fun and family at school this year, loving every moment. Rose isn't caught up in relationship drama, unlike most of the school, so she provided a "shoulder to cry on." to anyone who needed it. She was very excited with all the engagement, being a true romantic at heart. She found a lot of time to read, go to class and hang out. Her brother did come home for Christmas, despite doubts she conveyed to Slytherin Captain Danika. She had a very good term this year.

Emma Scarlett

Emma Scarlett planned to take the school by storm and she certainly managed to startle her parent, becoming friends with a Slytherin. Especially one with the last name Hamilton. But Emma always likes stirring things up (Rose says she'd be a great journalist) and so she finds herself growing to like Jinx even better. She may have even developed a crush, but her feelings are still unclear. Her goals for this term include: Make more friends, find out what a phellytone is and learn what Jinx's real name is and why he's called "Jinx"

Jinx Hamilton

Jinx's visions are growing more and more clear. And more and more terrifying. He believes he is being shown his own future. A future with death eaters, love, betrayal and death. Not his, maybe, but possibly of someone he cares about, or will later. One the brighter side he has made friends with Emma Scarlett, a Gryfindor of all things and had a nice chat with Chris Marquez on the train ride home.

Luke Carter

Luke still struggles with his Lycanthropy, but he hopes to take a potion to ease transformations.
He's still a loner, still shy, still sane. But his secret can't be kept forever, what if someone were to find out?
