--and unexpectedly, ropes shot out toward her (well, at least toward the pitch) from different places throughout the stands above.

With a quick invocation to Macha, Cameryn turned on her heel, hoping to just miss one of the few Incarcerous ropes that actually was aimed at her, but upon "reappearing" against the wall at the outside of the pitch, she found that her ankles were tied together. She found this by falling over, naturally. But the also-Disillusioned source of some other hexes didn't seem to have noticed that she had landed near him/her, as they were casting some rather loud battle magic and hadn't heard the reapparition crack or seen the invisible cylinder wrapped in loose rope.

"Confringo," she cast astonishingly loud, and even as the explosive force left her wand and before the Disillusioned target even registered they were about to be blown into the wall, she thought Shit, I'm still Amplified. She'd have to cut the rope and also SIlence herself; she made the split-second decision to mutter "Diffindo" under the cover of her previous spell's explosion and cut the rope first, so that she could stand up quickly. Halfway up she managed to murmur "Quietus" with her wand at her throat. Then she turned on her heel once more and returned to the exact spot she'd been at previously, near the center of the pitch.

Once she'd Reapparated the second time, Cameryn felt a little dizzy from so much rapid Apparition and had to take a full two seconds to get her bearings and see what the status of the battle was. It wasn't super for her Orphans, but it was tolerable. Some of her children had been captured, she could see -- visible ropes around invisible bodies like she'd experienced, except they also appeared to be Apparating away without standing up. Meaning Potter's minions were taking them away from the battlefield themselves, for actual incarceration most likely. But there were also scorch marks and explosion residue around the pitch and in two places in the stands. And her green flames were still burning bright, moving outward from the pitch center in tree-branch fractal spirals; one branch far away from her looked like it was trying to be extinguished, so clearly not someone who worked under Potter directly. He'd figured out ages ago that the Widow's Flames Curse resisted traditional extinguishing spells, and just to let it burn up.

Another rope flew past her ass and she turned to see where it was coming from, but her ears could detect consistent, repeated POP!s of multiple Apparitions, so they weren't staying in the same spots. A smart move on both sides' parts, but it certainly made true combat difficult for every single person under the Orphans or the Aurors.

Well if he's taking prisoners, so am I, Cameryn decided. "Agronā le glaodhan blàir, stain an talamh le fuil! Revelio Inimicos!" The spell she'd used in the Battle of Griff's Cliffs did what it had before, a blue watery-looking mist washing across the field, filling up the space of any humanoids in its path and "washing away" their Disillusionment. Some were her Orphans, and some were Potter's Aurors. She stepped into the mist herself to remove her own Disillusionment and cast two laser-targeted Stinging Hexes at two of the Ministry's lackeys, her eyes darting across the field to watch other opponents being revealed, while two of our Orphans took up positions behind her with Shield Charms.

What’s up everyone my name is Matt..I’m new to magical hogwarts and just looking for any tips or advice on character development. Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Hmm... well in my experience I would say that the characters will do whatever the heck they like, whether you planned it or not, so just go with it!

What kind of character are you planning? Adult, student, light, dark..?

Student Services / Re: [Library Student Service] Fire and Ice (Jacques)
« Last post by Jacques Wyss on April 15, 2024, 08:00:52 PM »
Jacques had arrived early for his student service at the library and began sorting through the variety of books that had to be put back onto the shelves by students who used them in the library and failed to be decent human beings. Library student service was a mundane task that allowed him to see basically every book that school had to offer. To him, this wasn’t boring like some other students would believe. The Ombrelune wheeled the book cart down an aisle, picking up the book per the assigned information on the spine and lightly tossed it up, magic taking it the rest of the way to its home on the top half of the bookshelf.

Sure, he could of just pointed it at the assigned location, but it was more fun to let it take gravity before the magic collected it. Why books didn’t do this themselves was beyond him, but maybe it was just lack of spells. Maybe it was on purpose so that the students had something to do. He continued down the aisle humming to himself in his head the latest tracks of wrock from the wizarding wireless, either tossing or placing books back where they belonged.

He flipped open a potion reference guide, paging through it, and making a note to himself to check it out later. Jac did the same with a few other books that piqued his interest. It wasn’t long before the librarian Monsieur Visser cleared his throat from behind, startling the fifth year as he was in the middle of an intense rift in his head. He snapped closed the book and placed it on the shelf. He was to work with a partner? Usually, Jac was allowed to just do his thing by himself, he had a system down after four and a half years. “I wasn’t anticipating…” the man was already walking off muttering about helping his partner with howlers. The boy rolled his eyes and let out a sigh, quickly turning the corner to keep up.

His eyes narrowed the moment he found his partner to be Celestin. If he was partnered up, it was usually with a shy bookworm girl who had endless giggles or kept to herself. It appeared Cel was also believing the same thing. Monsieur Visser seemed to have paired the two this time, for whatever reason. Sure, the boys didn’t get along too well, but that didn’t mean tossing them in a room to sort it out. “You seem disappointed,” he remarked back at the papillonisse. Certain girl? “Anyone else would have been an improvement,” he thoughtfully ruminated, going through a directory of girls who usually did library service in his mind.

“I’m told you need help writing howlers,” Jac sneered, nodding his head towards Monsieur Visser who was making his way back to his desk. “I’m surprised, all things considered.”

Announcements / Re: [Announcement] The Daily Prophet -- November 2005

hello what does the "q" number mean in the quidditch rankings or am I blind and this has been explained somewhere

merci

IC this refers to how many Quaffle goals have been scored thus far in the season.

OOC I just recently took back over the Quidditch statistics, and (as you can see) several teams ended up with the same number of playoff points after Round 3, so I needed a way to rank them secondarily 😅 Quaffle goals are more indicative of overall team performance than number of Snitches caught, was my reasoning.

could we make a matching thread? perhaps in the classifieds or something? it would be nice to just know who is interested in playing so we can find opponents more easily. just a thought.

The sign up thread is also the matching thread.   :)

Still looking for a partner? Post here to let others know!

I might make a classifieds for the whole sports initiative, though.

EDIT: Classifieds for the sports initiative 2005/06
