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.

Jack sprinted as fast as her short legs could carry her, which was considerable given her Quidditch conditioning, but Kip was taller and faster. He managed to lead their way to the Department of Ministries, casting a spell that sped their lift at a breakneck speed. His friend Yuri had come with him, their friend Remy dragging away a screaming redhead who was fighting against letting her friends run to what she was certain was their death. Jack and Claire had not had the chance to say anything to the people who mattered to them most. If they went down with the Ministry, their families would hear about it the old fashioned way – via third party.

There was a good chance Jack was running back into the bowels of the Ministry and dying for nothing. But she had secrets. She had information. She had weapons. And if Pierce somehow survived with one scrap of information and they had none… what would become of all of them? Not just herself, or society, but her family, her friends? Jack had to save her family from the wreckage – she just had to. Even if that meant plunging into a crumbling ruin.

The lift shuddered open and Jack stormed down the hallway, allowing Claire, Kip, and Yuri into the department’s sacred halls. “Yuri – there are files in my office. Please-“

He was off to obey without another word, proving his loyalty to any kin of Kip’s. Kip had his own agenda and he ran down the hallways, as though he knew exactly where to go. The man was shrewd, and he thought quickly – he would figure out the department’s system. Jack headed for a room that had significant control over the building itself and ran in. A quick spell sent gears into motion that would open the cages of all of the magical creatures up a few floors in her old department – they had their own right to flee. And then, with that, she took off running for The Veil.

Claire had a much simpler task, and she ran straight for Fred Weasley’s office. The magical mechanisms within the Ministry were crumbling and, with that, were the protective spells that once kept Fred’s place looking like a normal office. As she burst in, however, there was no drawer, no box, no file she could not open, no secret that was hidden from her eye. She shoved what she could into her bag, quickly expanding it. She rolled her eyes as she came across a puzzle box that had once sparked so much sass, and it too went into her bag. The job was done.

When she reached the main door, Yuri and Kip were already just arriving, breathless. They too clutched their side bags, and Kip had noticeable burns on his face. “Jack!” he roared. Her name bounced off of the walls, but she did not appear. The walls shook and rattled, dust and material beginning to shake loose and fall at their feet. “Jack!” Their two minutes were quickly becoming nothing. Kip could not stay much longer, but he could not lose his family after finding her so soon.

Jack suddenly came slipping around the bend. “Run!” she bellowed, shoving her knapsack onto her shoulders. Her friends obeyed, throwing the doors open. She soon shot past, adrenaline pumping through her. Behind them, the walls were buckling, pieces of ceiling and frames falling apart. The bottom of the Ministry was buckling, and soon it would all collapse.

Kip had to power the lift entirely by power, and it was even faster and more frightening than before, for the passages were shifting, bucking, seizing. The four people, bonded together by need and principle, stood apart, contemplating their ends separately.

The lift stopped and Kip and Jack forced the doors open, spilling out into the atrium. Huge chunks of the ceiling had fallen and were still falling, and people were streaming out the doors. They had almost made it and Jack did not intend on letting this be where her friends died. Her left hand found Kip’s back and her right arm swept around Claire and Yuri, shoving them forward. The four tripped into a sprint, bolting for the doors.

They were just about out of time.

The ceiling and walls gave a deep, painful groan. Dust was beginning to fall. Michael heard the stone walls starting to crack. He watched cracks racing up and down the walls, the beams and the floors. There was something tragic in knowing it was all coming down.

"Brian, we've got to go!" Michael shouted as Brian hurried the last of the witches and wizards into the swiftly crumbling floos. Angus raced over to Brian and clutched his friend by the arm. He nodded at Michael and forced him into a floo.

"Don't let her stay," Michael said to Marcus. "Your orders still stand." Marcus hesitated. "We're coming."

Marcus made sure he had a tight grip on Khaat, and he apparated both of them out. Michael looked at Robert's fixed stare. Why wasn't he leaving? What was he waiting for?

"We've got to go," Michael said, but Robert didn't even seem to hear him. "Robert...." The atrium ceiling was beginning to come down. It began to dawn on Kate and Lee and Michael that Robert wasn't intending to go. He was fully intending on making sure there wasn't anything left for Gideon Pierce to take.

Michael's thoughts went to Jack. Surely she had gotten out. Surely. What if she hadn't? There was no time left to go after her now.

Lee clutched tight to Kate, knowing they had to leave now if they were going to go at all. Michael grabbed Robert, who attempted to swat him off. Michael latched onto him with an iron grip. If Robert wasn't going to think about getting out, Michael would do it for him. Kate latched onto Robert's wand arm.

Michael and Lee fired their wands, and as they apparated, the last they saw was everything crashing down where they had just been standing.

Ariella was still standing after she shouted what she thought about the vaccines for everyone in the room to here. As she listened to Gideon she sat back down, defeated. She didn't have any proof that the vaccine was poison, the only proof she had was the fact that Oliver was dying in the hospital. She felt so stupid for standing up and shouting that the vaccine had the contagin instead of the anitbotic it's supposed have. Of course she doesn't trust Pierce, she knows that he's lying through his teeth right now. He's not the man that everyone thinks he is.

She crossed her arms anger still fuming in her blood. She pondered ways about trying to find proof that the vaccine is actually killing people. Ariella hasn't even had an encounter with this disease, the symptoms weren't really clear to her. Your feelings got the best of you again. Ariella scolded herself.

A shout in the distance jolted her out of her thoughts. She turned around to find the source of the booming voice and found that it was Robert Lupin himself. He threw off his cloak and walked straight up to Pierce. Lupin was furious. She listened to their conversation and she had a smug smile on her face for she agreed with every word that Lupin was saying, and Pierce's reaction was priceless.

Ariella saw a blur of red curly hair running up towards the podium just as Pierce apparated and was flying over everyone as a black mist. Darn, we couldn't catch him on time. Ariella started to feel her heart beating like crazy. She turned her attention to Lupin and he was casting a spell. She was confused as to what spell he was casting, she has never seen this before.

She watched as everything around them started to fall apart. What is he doing? She wondered as she tried to make her way to the Lupin, trying to tell him to stop. There has to be a way to stop this spell. She couldn't make her way to him, she tried but there were just too many people.

Ariella knew that this press conference would cause some kind of drama but she didn't expect this at all. Her adrenaline started to kick in as she saw an open door. She bolted for it and made it out just in time. She panted for air, distraught with what just happened.

Chcocola did listen what Brant said and nodded her head now. "Oh I see. I don't really know anyone really who it would effect," she said there and nodded eer again. "I think it's very stupid too actually," she agreed with it.

She looked at the two men who came here. Soonish Brant introduced them there. "It's nice to meet you both too," she said there a with a smile. She always liked to meet new people lately. She didn't mind new friends and so on. She totally understood when they had to go and talk with someone else now and she didn't mind it.

Cho just nodded her head and looked around still a little bit. She saw few familiar faces but they were talking already with people how she didn't really need to go and bother them. She just could listen what that Gideon is saying and also same time talk with Brant, what sounded like good idea.

Brant stayed close to Chocola watching as Robert walked out and took center stage putting Gideon in his place once and for all. Now he slipped out his wand and held it at his side keeping Chocola at his side he didn't know what was going to happen but he knew they might have to leave quickly. He stood in awe at Roberts command of the room and situation he was so lost in Roberts words that the next thing he felt was the room shaking and dust fall around them both. Now he knew time had come to leave.

Swiftly turning he slipped his wand back in its holder and wrapped his arm around Chocola's waist. " Forgive me Chocola, but I must." He said to her. He pulled her against his chest feeling her there almost made him forget why he had don't it but a piece of plaster fell grazing his shoulder making him wince and reminding him they had to leave. He looked down at her "you okay with me getting you out of here? " He Asked glancing he saw Khaat, Robert and the others were safe and leaving quickly. Now all he wanted was to get her out and some place safe.

Jack did not know if everyone else was out, and it was a signal of a change in times that she did not stop and quickly look for someone in need of saving. She could not do that anymore. Sunny needed her, Goose needed her, Charlie needed her, and she liked to think that Max would be somewhat lost without her as well. So as the walls around them came caving inwards, falling like the flimsy house of cards she had always suspected her government to be, she did not pause and see if there was the need for her to be a hero. She pressed her hands against the backs of her allies, pushing them onwards to safety. The fact was... they weren't running fast enough.

She grabbed Claire's wrist and the back of Kip's jacket. He immediately flung an around Yuri, wrapping them all together, and Jack spun on her ankle, hard enough to nearly sprain it. They were jerked from the action and, though Jack wanted nothing more than to apparate home and tell her family that she was okay, she knew there was business that had to be settled right now.

So she whisked them away to the home of Michael Tremaine.
