Harry Potter:
And The School of Fear
Year One
Over a thousand years ago, in an age where all things magical were shunned, the four greatest witches and wizards of the age shared a dream, to create a school where young people of the wizarding world could study and be trained in the magical arts they needed to become skilled, fully-trained wizards. These four great wizards each founded one of the houses of the school that they worked together to form: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For hundreds of years, both the school and the wizarding world have benefitted. The wizarding community was on the verge of merging with the muggle, or "non-wizarding", society. But then, a terrible power arose. A power called Lord Voldemort, a wizard twisted by the Dark Arts and his own greedy desires.
The Dark Lord, as he was called, wreaked terror throughout the worlds of magic and muggles, torturing many and killing a select few. With these few dead souls, he created Horcruxes, a means by which to split his soul and make himself harder to kill once and for all. He created six of these Horcruxes, all out of items significant to him, therefore splitting his soul into sevenths. Having finished this, he went for his next exploit, to kill one child that would grow to have the power with which to kill him. Voldemort had two choices: Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. He chose the latter, and was off to commit another murder. Upon reaching the door, he was stopped by James Potter, Harry's father. After mowing down this opposition, he casually murdered Lily Potter, James' wife, and fired a killing spell at Harry. The spell rebounded, deflected by a final protection spell cast on Harry by his mother's sacrifice. Voldemort got the full blast of his own killing curse, eliminating his own body.
Voldemort was considered dead by many, and to an extent actualy was. Whatever the case, wizards everywhere celebrated the next day for their ancient opponent's defeat, by none other than a 14-month boy no less. Harry was sent to his muggle aunt and uncle's house, and lived there among muggles for ten years. On his eleventh birthday, Harry was selected to attend Hogwarts, and gladly applied for his first year. That year, Harry came face-to-face with the Dark Lord himself, and stunningly killed the severely weakened wizard by himself. In his second year, Harry founght the Dark Lord again, this time through means of one of Voldemort's horcruxes, a diary. He, again, emerged the victor. Harry also overcame the Triwizard Tournament; narrowly escaped Voldemort (now back in a body and at full power); witnessed a one-on-one duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore, the current school headmaster; and went head-to-head with some top death eaters before seeing the dead body of Headmaster Dumbledore.
Then, the next year, now just over seven years ago, Harry Potter, now called "The Chosen One" and "The Boy Who Lived" by many, fought Lord Voldemort face-to-face, no strings attatched. At this time, only a seventh of Voldemort's soul remained. When the seventh and final part of Voldemort's soul was destroyed, along with the Dark Lord's body, Harry's duty was finally over. The Order of the Pheonix, a society of the top magical forces, tracked down and captured many of the remaining Death Eaters and sentenced them to Azkaban for a long time. Harry settled down to a mostly normal life. Hogwarts school was reopened with Minerva McGonagall as Headmistress. The Ministers of Muggles and Magic finally got along and learned to foster friendships between their kin. Most wizarding families now had ties to the muggle world, though they didn't let on to magic and prefer wands over technology. The wizarding world had finally come to a time of realitive peace.
But not for long.
For a few Death Eaters still remained, mostly the exceedingly avid, cunning and ruthless followers of Voldemort. They kept together in tight-knit groups, eventually gathering up enough strength to lead small attacks on the community, leaving no trace of their existence at the disaster site. Though small, these attacks were mostly effective; very few wizards or witches can effectively counter a sneak attack by magic. As if the attacks weren't enough, there have also been disappearances. Some say that it is kidnapping, others say it is just leaving without warning. Still others think that it's simply codswallop. They're wrong.
Nobody knows that, though.
Within the last month, there has been mass havoc. Death Eater attacks have gone up. People are becoming less and less cooperative with the ministry. Political unrest is becoming more common. And, worst of all, Harry Potter has recently disappeared on a trip to the Weasley residence. The remaining Death Eaters, leaderless but not broken, are seeing this as a window of opportunity. Muggles have been noticing magic more and more lately, and Muggle relations are disintegrating fast. The Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, has been impeached and replaced once again by Cornelius Fudge. How much better Fudge will do, nobody knows.
But in such a troubled world, this means little to the students of Hogwarts school. Life still goes on, and first year witches and wizards are still readying for the start of a whole new realm of knowledge and experience...
Awright, short plot. So sue me. There are some rules that we need to get out first, though:
1. Proper grammar shall be used at all times. NO exceptions.
2. This is the only Harry Potter RP on the forums, I'm afraid, so let's try to keep this noob-free.
3. No flaming. This is a universal rule, and one that I'm willing to go for a ban over.
5. All other general forum rules shall be followed by all RPers.
6. Though cliche it is... HAVE FUN, FELLOW RPERS!
All violators will be towed at owners' expense.

Name: Tylor Anthony Swanson
Gender: Male
Birthday: 8th August
Best Subject: Care of Magical Creatues
Worst Subject: History of Magic
Pet: Tylor owns an onyx black owl known as, Nyx, with snow white spots scattered across his feathers, along with three, frosty white stripes across his back. Nyx has a creamy white beak with piercing icy blue eyes. Nyx is an unusually intelligent owl, and he always seems to catch on to the situation rather quickly. When Nyx is outside her golden-colored cage she usually naps on the window sill next to Tylor’s bed. Nyx likes to explore and usually is active all day until finally wiping himself out and going to sleep.
Description: Tylor casually stands at Four feet and Eight inches, a petit and “cute” frame, and has shimmering light-black hair. Tylor has royal-blue eyes and has light color skinned. Tylor is rather skinny, but not too skinny. He has a pleasant air around him that tends to intoxicate and sometimes calm others down.
When Tylor is on school grounds, he usually wears his black school uniform. But when in a muggle vicinity: Tylor wears a plain black shirt with slim jeans, and black sneakers. When it is nearing winter he wears a black sweater with two individual white lines down each sleeve over a gray shirt. He wears onyx-black cargo pants and black sneakers with a black visor bini pointing backwards on his messy head. He needs to wear his black spectacles to properly read.
Personality: Pretty Retro style, careless nature. Taylor’s personality varies.
Tylor tends to be very nonchalant about things most of the time. He’s by no means easily intimidated, and doesn’t have an exceptionally short temper. In fact, it’s difficult to make him get angry at all through conventional means. Of course, when someone he cares about is harmed, he does get very angry at the one who did it to them and will fight to the death to prevent it from happening again.
As you might assume from the above statement, Tylor also has a strong sense of justice. However, he firmly believes that right and wrong are just concepts, and that it’s what you do and what you believe in that matters in the end. He personally thinks that the lives of others take priority over his own, though he’s by no means incredibly selfless. However, he will gladly risk his life so that someone else can keep theirs without so much as a second’s hesitation.
Tylor lacks patience, and prefers continuous action to repetitive and monotonous situations. He may even look for trouble for the sake of entertainment.
Tylor loves sugar, and all kinds of candy. He rather favors chocolate frogs over other candies. He does not take into mind blood types, and doesn’t care for them. He treats people equally, no matter what blood line they originate from.
History: Tylor comes from a fairly average wizarding family. His father is employed at the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, more specifically the Improper use of Magic office. His mother is unemployed. Tylor, now entering his first year, has a younger sister who will be entering Hogwarts in roughly around three years. She is eight years old.
Tylor had always particularly fond of owls as a young child, seeing as owls were always wandering about the backyard and what not. Tylor goes out to his backyard to play and sometimes feed the owls as they pass by and perch on the tree branches. Tylor has inherited a Silver Arrow from his father, but is in hopes to one day purchase his very own, Firebolt.
Tylor’s family lives in London in a two-story house. The house is rather old and has a quaint feel to it. Their family generally uses the Underground to travel throughout the country and traditionally the kids come home for Christmas. That rule may become broken; however, seeing as Hogwarts is currently a safer residence for the students. Tylor’s father and grandfather were Hufflepuffs, and his mother and grandmother were Ravenclaws.
Other: N/A
