<center>New Magic RP</center>

Setting: This roleplay takes place between the time Harry is born and his first year in Hogswarts. People with magical talents are accepted into Hogwarts by the invitation letter and continue on with guidance from a selected teacher from the school. They take care of teaching the first years the difference between Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons, as well as the rules of using magic outside of the school. Everything a student needs to know before their arrival to platform 9 and 3/4's is taken care of by this appointed caretaker. Upon arrival to Hogwarts, the traditional sorting hat ceremony takes place (which is incorporated to an extent in the rp). The Durmstrang School and the Beauxbatons School come once a year to visit and mingle with the Co-Ed school. Dances and school feasts happen on a regular basis. The Tri-Wizard cup still comes once every four years to challenge the best of the best of all three schools. Even with all the ongoing excitement, there is always those handful of adventurous students that end up having new rules made because of their mischievous demeanor.

Story:

Need to Know:

-Sorting Hat: The rp does have it's own sorting hat! It is the dice that can be found at the bottom of the CC chat. The six sided dice will be used to determine what house you will be in. Depending on what number you role, determines your house. The year of your character is your choice after the house has been determined. The houses are numbered as follows: Gryffindor = 1, Slytherin = 2, Hufflepuff = 3, Ravenclaw = 4, Durmstrang = 5, and Beauxbatons = 6. If you are a girl and roll Durmstrang DO NOT PANIC! All you have to do it roll again. Same should the situation be reversed.

-Passwords: Passwords in the wizarding world are very real, therefore we shall try to incorporate passwords into this rp. Under each of the houses below will be a password of the week. Use it to get into specific common rooms. (Side-note: Just because all four of the house passwords are there does not mean your character knows them! They only know the one to their specific house. You cannot go breaking into other common rooms claiming you know the password because they are all posted.) NOTE: The only house that does not have a password is Ravenclaw. Instead they have a riddle that needs an answer. If the riddle is not answered correctly then they must wait for the next person to come and have their try at it. The Ravenclaw riddle can be found under it's house information.

-Possible Pets: Pets in this rp are not limited to only Owls, cats, rats, newts, and frogs. They can be a range of animals that can include foxes, ferrets, hawks, sparrows, miniature dragons (upon approval of being able to handle the creature; Mod will approve.), pigeon, dove, bat, hamster, guinea pig, dog, etc. (If you think of another animal you would like to use, please ask a mod and they would be happy to approve it for you.)

-Teachers: If you wish to play a teacher, they are available to be played. A list of the available and taken teachers is posted at the bottom of the page. Most of the original teachers from the series are available, but creativity is encouraged should you wish to create a teacher.

-Patronus: Each student much have a patronus that is relative to their character in some form. The available patronus' so far include: Stag, Otter, Jack Russle Terrier, Horse, Hare, Doe, Lynx, Werewolf, Cat, Goat, Phoenix, Fox, and a Swan. Whether it be the student's favorite animal or an extension of their personality they must have one for self defense against most dark creatures and wizards alike.

Preferred way of Travel: By great ship.
School Reputation:Durmstrang does not admit Muggle-borns. Durmstrang is also notorious for its acceptance of the Dark Arts. They do not necessarily like their trips to Hogwarts, but in some ways it does give them some publicity and shows off their strict discipline and skill, especially when it comes to their professional quidditch players.

Uniform:

-For class:

Boys: Pressed black pants, Crimson or black tunic with black buttons, crimson or black belt, black dress shoes, black colored socks, fur hats (optional), and blood-red robes. The Durmstrang boys are known for their fur cloak or coat which is optional for wearing depending on the weather.

Co-Ed: Crimson and black sweat pants and crimson or black tank top or T-shirt. Black T-shirt with school crest may also be worn.

-Outer Wear:

BEAUXBATONS

Type of School: All girls school
School Colors:Light blue, silver, and gold.
Insignia: Two golden wands crossed over one another, each shooting three stars.
Headmistress:Madame Olympe Maxime
Type of Magical Extension: The french girls of Beauxbatons have the unique ability to let magic flow through them, therefore not always needing a wand. They have a firm grip on their emotions so controlling magic comes easily to them.
School Qualities:Not as sharp witted as Ravenclaw, the girls from Beauxbatons are typical of a "girly-girl" or princess. They pay attention to their studies and find muck and dirt disgusting. They are strong together though.
Location: located in the Palace of Beauxbatons near the city of Cannes in southern France.The Academy is a glittering palace, most probably newer and brighter than the Hogwarts castle.Beauxbatons is Unplottable, so no muggles or even wizards from rival schools can find it on a map, and then it is disguised so that no one can really see it unless they know to look for it.
Preferred way of Travel: Pastel blue coach pulled by twelve huge, winged horses.
School Reputation: The Beauxbatons school is known for having a vast array of girls, not just pure bloods. They like the finer things in life, anything expensive they usually own. They are known for being sweet girls, but very high maintenance.

1. Acceptance- DO NOT POP IN AND JUST POST YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT. In order to be approved to play in this rp, one must go through three steps. One of them is to approach one of the mods with an idea of who they would like to play, two is to create a profile with our template (with a real live picture, no cartoons), and third is to give us an example intro post for your character. Once these things are completed the mods will discuss your acceptance.

Profile Template Must Include: Quote, Name, Age, Gender, Status (single, crushing, taken, or married),Wand (length, wood, and core), House, House Colors (House Ghost optional), Year,Pet, Signature Spell (pr favorite spell), Patronus, Class Schedule, Likes, Dislikes, Hobbies, Personality, and Background.

2. This rp is for para or multi-para posting. We worked very hard on our characters and plot and would like the same effort from everyone else. We are strong believers in quality not quantity, but please do not abuse the rare occasions either. (Ex: You're sick or having a bad day will work occasionally, but not always.)

3.Once you are ready to rp, let us know and we will brief you on where we are in the rp and what's going on as well as posting order. POSTING ORDER WILL ALWAYS BE ROOM ORDER. (Located on the right of the site is the list of people in the room, you post after whoever is before you on that list!)

4. There is no god modding in this rp. If you wish to do a drastic action, please talk it over with the other player and ask for their permission.

5. No lurkers allowed unless you are creating your profile.

6. No cussing aside from "Bloody Hell" this rp is PG13 unless suggested otherwise. (Subject to change by the decisions of the mods)

7. Must be available frequently. Please do not make a character, have them crushing on another character or be the foundation of something important and then leave. It's rude and holds the rp from going anywhere. This is a rp we'd like to continue for a long while. NOT SHORT TERM.
