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.

Lily wasn't sure one ever relaxed into the role of professor. The bulk of the Hogwarts staff was young, new, uncertain. Stories about Hogwarts from her mother had always been full of these historical giants with such backgrounds that Lily could hardly imagine any of them having any trepidations about their qualifications to teach. She wasn't sure if standards had dropped, or if peacetime just churned out less celebrities.

Regardless, she was feeling even more anxious as of late. Her journal entries reflected a new paranoia, an uncertainty at her act, and if she hadn't already been feeling her isolation, this new distrust in the people around her was making her feel more and more like a marked woman. So she tried to channel it into work. Which meant she was skipping breakfast more often to work on grading, or to review lesson plans.

Today, she was reorganizing the storeroom. She had noticed a particular vial was not where it should have been, but a voice was calling and she tried to remind herself that the logical solution was that it had been misplaced.

She slipped from the storeroom to see - how interesting. Had she not just written about the girl in her journal? A brief mention, but somehow enough to summon her.

"Miss Lux," she said, feeling hypocritical through every syllable. "Certainly. What do you need?"

"Clytemnestra," Lily said, glad to oblige the girl in one small way. Little effort for her, hopefully some good. What was that - low risk, medium yield. Right. Maybe she would have at least one student that liked her.

Honestly, she didn't care if the students liked her. She just hoped the end of year scores were enough to keep her out of any hot water. As if she needed another reason for scrutiny.

Lily's lips pursed as the girl decisively informed her that she'd be referring to her by her first name. If it were class, Lily might have drawn a line, but outside of it, with a girl only a few years younger than herself, it hardly seemed like a battle worth pursuing.

Her eyes narrowed at the girl's reason for being there. But her wand flicked and there was the tell-tale click of the lock and she gestured toward one of the chairs in the front, leaning on her desk. "I'm not sure how I can be of help. Head of Houses are certainly better with student conflict."

Lily had been smart to reach for a file on her desk before the girl had been given a chance to speak, thumbing through. Because when she heard Apollo's name, she was able to keep looking through the file, her eyes lowered as her mind quickly began to turn, trying to figure out what she was supposed to do.

Her instincts had been right then. There had been some strange vibes coming off the Lux girl. What had happened to suddenly shift the focus back to her and Apollo. No one had seemed to notice the semester before.

Merlin, the ball had been a stupid idea.

She finally lifted her eyes as Clytemnestra expanded upon the thought, lowering the file so she could watch the girl's face. What stake did the Slytherin have in the situation? She certainly seemed flippant enough. Was she just trying to get a rise out of her?

"I don't believe I've treated him any differently than anyone else," Lily said. "I'm not keen on calling on people who don't volunteer - he doesn't volunteer. I have no idea what stunts you're talking about. You can tell Professor Aldon if you're concerned. You may have heard some rumors but I assure you - there's no weight to them anymore."

Because what point was there in denying she had been involved with him before. They had blown that cover.

Merlin, Apollo would not like being called in to talk with Professor Aldon.

This wasn't working. Clytemnestra was shrewd and unabashed, and Lily was trying too hard to walk the fine line between a lie and a half-truth. She knew Apollo well enough to know that it wouldn't take much for his hyper-critical brain to take any rumors of her disdain more seriously than he should, as they both had a part to play, and she had hoped to avoid really committing to the role.

That was no longer an option.

"You ever think Apollo was just trying to defend his own reputation?" Lily respond, eyebrow arching as though that were an obvious first thought. "Listen - we used to be involved, but we're not anymore. The last words he had for me were pretty harsh so I doubt he's going around acting like a fool for any nobler reason than his own pride. I don't think sending him to detention over something I haven't witnessed is going to help any."

She desperately wanted to know exactly what he was doing that had caused one of his own classmates to snitch on him, but doubling down on their break up scheme was the priority here.

"If you'd like, I can pass on to his Head of House or the Deputy Headmaster that something is going on."
