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.

Victoire walked into her empty classroom. She was the new Alchemy Proffessor. She knew her little brother took this class and she would be extra hard on him but he was in the advanced class. She wouldn't go easy just because of family. She would take points from anyone. She had her lesson planned out.

Victoire would teach about Parcelsus. She would also asing a essay on him. She had her plans for the events in next class.

She waited for the students to come in.

Xemnas walked in the class.This class he was very nervous about because he didn't know what to expect.He didn't know if the teacher was mean or was she very strict.As he sat in the seat he had noticed the professors face and had realized she didn't seem all that bad.He felt a little more comfortable,but he wasn't going to take any of his teachers lightly."Hello professor"Xemnas said a little bit joyfully.He took out his notebook and his pen and was ready for instructions

Ezra smiled softly. He loved this class, and everything about it. It was neat, and it made him smile to know that it'd be useful. "Hello Professor Weasley", he said as he walked in. He placed an apple on her desk. Because this was a new teacher, he decided to greet her with the gift of an apple, the fruit of knowledge as it would seem. It was a fresh, deep red apple, nice and crisp like that which was used in a pie but with enough sweetness to be ate as is. He picked it from a tree outside of Hogsmeade, the one that only he seemed to notice when he went there. Under the apple, he slipped a map to said tree, then smiled at the teacher. He knew that she was probably impartial to this behavior, but he wanted to be nice. After all, what was wrong with an apple?

Victoire smiled. "Hello, you must be Xemnas and," she looked at the blond boy "You must be Ezra." She told them. She passed them some parchment. "We are gonna learn about Parcelsus one of the inventors of Alchemy." He said. She looked at them. "The homework will be an essay on him. He was was Swiss. He was born and raised in Einsiedeln a village in Switzerland." She had grabbed the apple Ezra put on her desk and she bit it. "That is a good apple. Thank you Ezra." She smiled. "Now write down what I said to you."

Ezra nodded and began to write. He had a bit of difficulty with the work, as it was supposed to be an essay, but he worked that out.

Auroleus Phillipus Theostratus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as "Paracelsus," was born in 1493. He was the son of a well known physician who was described a Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, and it was from him that Paracelsus took his first instruction in medicine. At the age of sixteen, Paracelsus entered the University at Basle where he applied himself to the study of alchemy, surgery, and medicine. He was already well versed in the science of Alchemy, having previously studied the works of Isaac Hollandus. His works also indicate an advanced knowledge of the science and principles of magnetism.

His wanderings took him through Germany, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Russia. In Russia, he was taken prisoner by the Tartars and brought before the Grand Cham at whose court he became a great favorite. Finally, he accompanied the Cham's son on an embassy from China to Constantinople, the city in which the supreme secret, the universal dissolvent (the alkahest) was imparted to him by an Arabian adept. For Paracelsus, as Manly Hall has said, gained his knowledge "not from long-coated pedagogues but from dervishes in Constantinople, witches, gypsies, and sorcerers, who invoked spirits and captured the rays of the celestial bodies in dew; of whom it is said that he cured the incurable, gave sight to the blind, cleansed the leper, and even raised the dead, and whose memory could turn aside the plague.

Paracelsus ultimately returned to Europe, passing along the Danube into Italy, where he became an army surgeon. It was here apparently that his wonderful cures began. In 1526, at the age of thirty-two, he re-entered Germany, and at the university he had entered as a youth, took a professorship of physics, medicine, and surgery. This was a position of considerable importance that was offered to him at the insistence of Erasmus and Ecolampidus. Perhaps it was his behavior at this time that eventually led to his nickname "the Luther of physicians," for in his lectures he was so bold as to denounce as antiquated the revered systems of Galen and his school, whose teachings were held to be so unalterable and inviolable by the authorities of that time that the slightest deviation from their teachings was regarded as nothing short of heretical.

This high-handed behavior, coupled with his very original ideas, made him countless enemies. The fact that the cures he performed with his mineral medicines justified his teachings merely served further to antagonize the medical faculty, infuriated at their authority and prestige being undermined by the teachings of such a "heretic" and "usurper." Thus Paracelsus did not long retain his professorship at Basle, but was forced once again to leave the city and take to the road in a wanderer's life.

During the worse of his second exile, we hear of him in 1526 at Colmar and in 1530 at Nuremburg, once again in conflict with the doctors of medicine, who denounced him as an impostor, although once again, he turned the tables on his opponents by his successful treatment of several bad cases of elephantiasis. which he followed up during the next ten years by a series of cures that were amazing for that period.

He died in 1541, after a short sickness, in a small room at the White Horse Inn, and his body was buried in the graveyard of St. Sebastian.


He handed in this long essay.

Victoire looked at the essay. "This is a great bioghraphy. 5 points to Gryffindor. The essay is just wonderful Ezra." She put it on her desk. She smiled at him. "I bet I can expect good thing from you Ezra." She said. "Well sense your done would you liked to see what the NEWT class is working on." She smiled at him. The biography was great. She hadnt even told the whole name of Parcelsus.

Fearing being late, Frederick dashed through the halls, two new teachers for two days. Maybe alchemy was the new Defense against the dark arts class.... entering the class, he took the seat in front,all the way to the right, and immediately started spreading himself out on the table. "Hi." he said, beaming at the new teacher. at least he got to make a good first impression with this teacher....

"I would love that, Professor Weasley. I'd love to see the NEWT Class lessons. I'd love to see what they do. This is my favorite subject, so I'd definitely like to see, and perhaps try to do what they are doing. That is, if I also get to try. It's understandable if you don't want me to". Ezra gave her a smile unlike any smile he'd given people. Usually his smile was crooked. This time, though, it wasn't. It was a nice, straight and friendly smile, that wasn't to say his crooked smiles weren't friendly looking either. His heart pounded in his chest and his ears, and it was all due to his excitement. His excitement over this course.

He took out a small metal chain. It'd been transformed into silver from various "lower" metals, such as copper and nickel. He'd made it himself out of some old copper alloy wire and a nickel wire that ran the length of it. He used alchemy to make the chain into pure silver. It was a bit brittle though, so he coated it in a type of varnish which also gave it shine as well as hold it together like external glue.

Victoire smiled. "Hi." She said "You must be Fredreick well you are late but its ok." She smiled. "Ok well meet me here one hour before curfew. And I well tell you and let you do what the NEWT class is doing." She smiled. She picked up her wand and her stuff. She grabbed a piece of Parchment and gave it to Fred. "All you have to do is write a essay about Parcelsus." She smiled.

"Class dissmised." She said. She was having fun teaching. She waved her wand and that took all the paper from the kids desk. She put it on her table. "If you havent finished them take them from my desk." She smiled.

Frederick, after trying to snatch the blank piece of paper from the air after Professor Weasley collected them, strode up to the desk, which was a pretty short walk, and sorted through the papers to find his. he knew it was his because he had made sure to sign the bottom before he started. "er...professor... you never told us how many inches you wanted the essay to be." he said, diplomatically.
