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.

Despite the arrival of spring and the gradual increase in temperature, there was still a slight chill to the air. Harper bundled up in a jacket and pulled on a cozy beanie before setting out on a leisurely stroll down to the lake. She savored the crisp, fresh air as she made her way towards the water's edge, feeling the gentle breeze tugging at her hair.

The lake was serene, its surface rippling and shimmering under the sun's gentle rays. Harper let out a contented sigh, taking in the soothing sound of the waves lapping against the shore. As she walked, she searched for the perfect rock to skip across the water, shuffling the loose rocks beneath her feet until she found a flat, smooth one that felt just right in her hand.

It had been a long day for sure. She just needed this fresh air. She ended up walking towards the lake. She just wondered what she could do here. This when she saw here also this on other girl. She wondered what she was doing here.

"Hey," she ended up saying when she was closer to the girl. "What are you up to here?" she had to ask. This girl looked familiar but she really couldn't remember her name.

Harper's fingers closed around the smooth rock just as she heard a voice behind her. "Oh, hi," she greeted the girl, turning to face her. She clutched the rock in her hand, explaining, "I was just going to skip some rocks. The castle was feeling a bit stuffy."

The other girl looked familiar, though Harper couldn't quite place her name. She remembered they had taken some classes together in the past, but with so many names starting with 'C', she couldn't be sure. "What about you?" she asked, hoping the other girl would introduce herself again.

She smiled. "Oh seems like interesting idea for sure yes," she had to agree with it. She had never thought about it. She wasn't that good at it for sure. She has tried it before a few times and usually she did get more than one or two.

"Just taking walk outside, it felt stuffy inside for me too," she said about herself. "Oh, I'm Ciara, and you are?" she asked. Yeah she tried to be friendly towards her now.

Harper's lips curled into a warm smile as she heard Ciara's words, acknowledging the air around them was indeed stuffy. "It's a pleasure to see you again, Ciara. I'm Harper," she introduced herself while holding the rock delicately in her hands. Her gaze shifted from the rock to the water, searching for the perfect angle to make the perfect throw. With a swift flick of her wrist, the rock left her hand, soaring through the air. Unfortunately, it only managed to bounce once before succumbing to the depths below. Harper shook her head, a hint of disappointment evident in her voice. "I suppose I was never really that skilled at this."

Ciara smiled at Harper and nodded her head. "Oh, yes hey Harper," she said with a smile on her face. It was nice to meet new people always. Even yeah it wasn't so easy these days. Some friends were so much drama for sure. She just needs some days without it. She watched the other girl throw the rock into the water. "Oh, I'm not really any better, often it just ends up right away in the water," she said. "So were both bad at this," she added.

Harper's smile grew wider as Ciara confessed to not being skilled in skipping rocks either. "Perhaps we should try to come up with something else to do," she suggested, scanning the ground for a suitable rock. Despite not having any other activities in mind, she knew going back to the castle was not an option.

"Do you have any ideas?" Harper inquired as she picked up another rock, preparing to send it skipping across the water's surface. With a flick of her wrist, the rock sailed through the air and made contact with the lake's surface. One skip, two skips, before ultimately sinking to the lake's depths.

Ciara nodded her head. "Well we could but I don't have any better ideas," she said with a sigh and soon enough found herself one rock and figured give it a try too. She took a deep breath.

With a flick of her wrist, she made the rock fly towards the water surface. One skip and it did sink into the lake's surface. "Well you did a lot better than me," she had to admit this much ofor sure.

"Not really, it wasn't all that bad," Harper responded with a shrug. She was at a loss for ideas on what else to do, so she continued searching for more flat rocks to skip across the water. "Let's try this one," she suggested as she picked up another rock, her words drawn out. Once she straightened up, she turned to Ciara with a crooked grin. After scanning the water's surface, she flicked the rock, and it skipped just once before sinking into the depths below. "Fail."

Ciara looked all around and wondered what they could do here now. As this wasn't so entraining for sure. None of them were good at it. "Do you have any hobbies?" she asked something random. Trying to figure out what they could do. Maybe this will give some ideas. She found herself also one rick, she flicked it and did hit water once, then twice and then it went back to depths below. "Aww," she mumbled. It wasn't such good try really.
