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.

OOC: While I am sure those posts in the beginning of this thread were necessary for your personal plots, I don't think they were necessary for the trial and just made people have to read through them to see if there was anything important. As this is a trial, it should only include Wizengamot members and the accused, thats it. Also, you probably should have waited for the vote to finish.

----------------------------------------

If Vincent had had a choice, he would not have shown up today. In his opinion it was a waste of time, this trial. Apparently the law stated that every criminal deserved a chance to defend himself or herself at court. But it became sort of a nuisance when it was obvious what the outcome would be. The wizengamot was filled with Order members, who would no doubt send Barker to Azkaban no matter what his reasons would be.

Nevertheless, he showed up. He was early in fact, as he registered when entering the courtroom - half the members of the Wizengamot were not there. He looked at Khaat and nodded, then saw Thoarson standing next to her. That was a man he did not trust to much. He was a death eater, like Vincent, but that didn't mean he was any more trustworthy. In fact, it meant quite the opposite. Vincent didn't trust many, in fact, Khaat was probably the only one. Perhaps that was because she was so... predictable, since she would always do what was 'right'. Other peoples did things for their own interest. Vincent went over, took a seat and waited silently for the accused and the other wizengamot members.

OOC: nobody but current wizengamot members have posted, vincent. not sure what you're referring to there. It was an administrative decision to move forward with the trial b/c wizengamot members were not posting their vote, even when i repeatedly asked them to do so, so, yeah. we moved forward. i'm not going to hang up the trial b/c some folks were not participating like they should have done.

OOC: Really? I guess I must be blind, but I don't see Robert Dent on the Wizengamot list.
And I think thats a good decision, with one problem, the members of the wizengamot and Barker aren't posting anyways. Not sure what you can do about that though. Bad luck?

Rememberthis? Things have sure went downhill since then.

OOC: My apologies in that I must correct myself. Rob Dent is the Warden of Azkaban, where Barker has been held pending trial. Rob is responsible for bringing Barker to the trial itself. The warden position is a new one that has been added to PA. As far as the posting of the trial goes, some of the players have been unavoidably absent due to other RL conflicts. I look for this to begin again soon.

OoC: Continuing on...

Hershel strolled along the halls of Azkaban. An auror was leading him to Barker's cell, he was to take him to the trial. He couldn't understand why Rob didn't do it himself. The lazy ass, he shrugged the thought and continued to briskly walk keeping pace with the auror. By the time they had reached his cell they had been walking for a good half hour or longer. He was heavily gaurded, and gaurded well at that. "Well Barker, I'll be escorting you to the trial." he told him. The aurors unlocked the doors and followed Hershel and Felix out of Azkaban.


Hershel apparated Felix and himself to a small dark room with one light. This is where he woul be held before the trial would start. He knocked on the door and two large aurors entered. "These men will be gaurding you until the trial Felix. Make yourself at home, it's going to be quite a wait." he exited the room. He would inform Khaat that Felix had arrived and that he is wandless and ready for trial.

((I'm already in the courtoom))
Jess looked up as Layton and the accused entered the room, and his head cocked to one side. He looked different in the papers, a bit more powerful, more wicked. However, that's what black and white did to people, how the papers managed to change someone's appearance, without any actual editing was a loss to him.. Now he was here he looked a lot more quiet, more subdued. He then pulled out a signet ring which held his family emblem, ready to be used to sign any papers.

Flicking through the documents related to the Barker trial Jess' mouth became a thin line, it was a fairly open and shut case, realistically this was merely a technicality, this trial, however he wasn't prepared to say such a thing, in the name of justice barker deserved to defend what he did, maybe fight for a reduced sentence, or at least to partially clear his name of any bad thoughts. "Are we ready?" he added, speaking more to himself than anyone else.

Post by Felix Barker Thu Jan 27, 2011 2:03 am

[mmm.. now that an understanding was cleared up....]

Felix looked at the door to his cell for a long moment and then started to mess with his hair. Today was the big day... finally getting ready to be tried as a criminal, and sent back to his old cell. The only thing he didn't like about this time, was that he actually WANTED to be out, last time he had been here.. well, it hadn't been so great anyway, he had tried to get away, almost had to, but had ended up getting taken here anyway. Last time he had been alright with being put in jail, he hadn't really complained about it, but now, he was working up his defense in his head. He had a REASON to leave, a reason to be out, he had to find Naomi, he had to be with her again. He had told her repeatedly that a life with him was no life at all, and she hadn't heard it, and now.. well he would be sent to Azkaban, there was no way he would be let go.

Felix had no doubt in his mind, whatever defense he came up with, would fall through. With Khaat in the room, there was no doubt he would get sent to jail, and be there for a long.. long.. long time. So what was the point? Felix could feel his hands starting to clench, his teeth ground together, his left hand started to snap. What was the point of trying to get out, when he'd get sent in anyway? Why fight it.. Felix felt a smirk cross his lips. He would startle them all, they would ask the questions, and he would answer truthfully, he would come in quietly, and leave quietly. They wouldn't know what to think.

His original plan had been to fight his way there, fight for his freedom, and fight his way back to jail, but this just seemed so much more satisfying. He was known to do the unexpected, and not doing anything to fight them would be almost unexpected. Sure they might have thought he might do this, but they were expecting him to defend himself, then they would probably tail him if he got out, tail him for the rest of his life. Now? He would go right where they could watch him... and startle them all when he didn't go insane.

Felix looked up when an auror came to his cell door. “Oh.. why hello, I suppose it is time for me to go already isn't it?” He asked flattening his hair and grumbling when it went up again anyway. You didn't get things like shampoo and hygiene stuff in Azkaban, unless you were in the holding cell, so he had taken this morning to take the longest shower of his life. For it would probably be his last for a very long time. His hair was fluffy and clean, his clothes were cleaned, he wasn't covered in filth, exactly as they would want him to appear, that's how he would appear. When the auror came in holding cuffs, Felix simply held out his hands.

“Not as tight as yesterday... they were digging pretty hard.” He said lightly, his tone of voice made it appear as though they were just about to go out for a stroll, instead of to a trial that would determine his lodgings for a long time. “Shall we go then?” He asked rotating his wrists in the cuffs before pretending to pull them off to make sure they were on tight enough. “Hmm.. seems good, lets go.” He said turning his attention to the auror before a smirk crossed his face. “So we meet again Hershel.” He said lightly before shrugging. “Pleasure.. now if you don't mind..” He said gesturing to the door. If you didn't know better, Felix's behavior would show that he was actually a normal guy, just wanting to get this over with, instead of a cold blooded killer who took pleasure in torture.

Once out of Azkaban, Felix took a long deep breath. Away from the dementors for like, three seconds was bliss. It may not appear to be, but every time they were near, he saw the image of Naomi standing in front of those werewolves, all he could see was their snouts, and the glowing of their eyes, saliva dripping down to the ground, Naomi standing with her back to him, staring up at the huge wolf. Felix shuddered and realized that the Dementors were back, that would be the last time he'd be free of them for what could be years. The Dementors seemed to be pretty excited today, and no wonder, he was one of the biggest criminals of all time, and he had some pretty tasty memories for them to chew on. Flashes of some of his torturing flew past his eye, but they were going to have a hard time getting to a memory that actually disturbed him. They'd find it eventually, but for the time, they would need to pick and choose carefully.

Finally it was time to head out of Azkaban, and to the Ministry, and after a lot of fussing around him, the Dementors got into place and headed towards the Ministry, Felix in chains, a smirk placed neatly on his face, his head held high, his eyes staring straight ahead. It was obvious around the Dementors that he had bags under his eyes, which appeared to be sunken in still, even though it had been a while since he had been in their 'care' he still showed signs of it. After getting to the Ministry, Felix was placed in a small holding room before the trial, the aurors and Dementors outside the room, he stood there glancing around at the small table and a chair that was in the room, where a small glass of water sat. “Hmm.. how thoughtful.” He muttered to himself and went over to the table, sitting down. For all he knew there was a truth serum in the water, and he didn't trust it, but he drank it anyway, not really caring about any truth serum, he planned on telling the truth anyway. Everything except that Naomi was with him because he enchanted her, that was a lie, and he would keep it that way. They wouldn't dare poison his water anyway, Khaat would want 'a fair trial' so there would be no trickery, and it was just water, nothing else.

When the trial finally started, Felix was escorted from his holding cell, and into the courtroom, where he was placed in a chair. He didn't flinch, he didn't move when the chains locked around his arms and held him in place. Felix slowly raised his eyes to look around the court room, they must have been expecting him to come in fighting, yelling curse words or something, instead of walking in like a business man, sitting up straight in his chair and looking around at them calmly. Because 'obviously' he was a deranged man who needed to be locked up, not a calm gentlemen, who appeared to be in perfect health, mentally and physically, with only his eyes slightly sunken in from being around Dementors for to long. Felix let out a soft breath of air and then smiled at them all, flashing white teeth. He was dashing, he was charming, and he was on trial for murdering and torturing aurors, Khaat Lupin, Elijah Krum, Sophia Lestrange, for bewitching and torturing a girl who had no right to be tortured, and for working under Luther Burke. It was a long list, and he was quite proud of it actually, his smile slowly disappeared and he waited, waited to hear the first words the court would say to him, to start off this legendary trial. Or at least legendary in Felix's mind.
