Harry Potter Campaign

[Aerin, the half-elf priestess]

Welcome to our newest campaign! It takes place in a Hogwarts magic school in North America during the 1950s. Read below for Quest Logs about our amazing adventures. Enjoy!

Day 1 – Getting to Hogwarts

It was the year 1950 and I was 13 years old when I found out that I was going to Hogwarts, a magical school in North America. I didn’t want to go, but my parents wouldn’t take No for an answer, so I decided to have one last crazy day before I leave. I called my friends and we tried to do a bank heist! My friends were total jokers and clowns, entering the bank and distracting everyone. They hit on female bank tellers, talked with strangers, and even faked an injury. All of these distractions allowed me to use magic, transform into a cloud, and sneak behind the bank desk. I tried entering the bank vault, but it had magical seals protecting it. I thought it was just a typical muggle bank, but I was wrong. I decided to back off and rob the bank tellers instead. I stole a pair of keys and a wallet with 40 dollars and two credit cards! I tried leaving, but two elemental creatures kidnapped me and forced me to go home and prepare for my departure to Hogwarts.

Next day I woke up, got ready to go, and said goodbye to my parents. My parents were both super busy and didn’t even have time to take me to the train station. I left home feeling annoyed at my parents and arrived at the train station, accompanied by my two elemental “friends”. I met a bunch of weirdos, total nerds who didn’t know anything about being cool. I was already dreading the idea of going to Hogwarts, probably a place full of nerds. Nonetheless, we decided to stick together since we were all new to everything.

My whole perspective changed when I began buying stuff for Hogwarts. I used most of my parents’ money to buy a pimp robe; I looked so good! I bought standard textbooks, writing supplies, etc. I didn’t buy a magical broom because I can already fly without one. However, I got a bad-ass dragonbone wand that was over 12 inches long! It chose me and I was grateful. I also got the most gangster black owl familiar ever! His name was vanilla and he wore boxing gloves…weird right? The store owner said that owl never liked anyone, but when he saw me, I gave him a fist bump and he totally chose me! I ran outside and saw a group of cool looking kids, so I made my entrance into their group and showed off my pimp robe and gangster owl. We even did a fist bump together and everyone loved it, especially a girl named Christina.

After we all got our stuff, we went to the magic bank and opened an account. The goblin bank teller was super stingy, but helpful. I handed him the wallet and keys that I stole and he converted it all into 1,040 gold! I ran to the cool kids, who were eating lunch at a magic restaurant, and paid 40 gold for everyone’s food! They totally loved me and I convinced Christina to sneak away with me for a little romantic fun. I kinda cheated though because I used a Cheering Charm spell to make her feel happy, which helped my chances of hooking up with her. We were kissing and about to go further, but her mom called for her and she had to go. As a random side-note, I noticed something strange when I left the magic bank. I noticed a devious goblin with a Hogwarts shirt, clearly he wasn’t a normal bank worker and was up to something.

Afterward, I re-joined my group and we arrived at the train station. I saw lots of people waiting around and I couldn’t resist the chance to have some fun. My group went into the train early and I asked them to save me a seat. Meanwhile, I started beat-boxing, rapping, and dancing with my gangster owl. We totally impressed everyone, but not everyone was happy about it. Iskandor, a Macedonian kid in our group, tried casting magic to sabotage me, but he was too far away. There was another kid in our group named Hocus Pocus, the weirdest kid I’ve ever met, who kept following me all day and I even had to ditch him a couple times. He was angry with me, so he tried sending his cat familiar to mess with me, but the cat stumbled and got stepped on accidentally by people, so he failed too.

I found my friends inside the train and we sat together. We talked a bit and got to know each other better. Nykyrian, the last member of our group, was smart, nice, and down to earth, so I tried becoming close friends with him. Nothing crazy happened on the train, so we arrived safely and got off the train. Then we got onto a boat and slowly reached Hogwarts. It was extravagant-looking and a guided tour took us throughout the magic school. Afterward, we sat down at numerous tables and listened to the Headmaster’s speech. Ironically, the Headmaster was also that devious goblin from the magic bank! I kept the secret to myself.

After the speech, they brought out the Sorting Hat and began putting students into their respective houses: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor. I was jealous that Hocus Pocus, Iskandor, and Nykyrian all had a chance to talk and negotiate with the Sorting Hat. I, however, was immediately thrown into Slytherin, with Hocus Pocus! That kid is so annoying! Luckily, Christina was placed in Slytherin as well. Her close friend (Sarah) was placed in Hufflepuff, and I think Hocus Pocus likes her. Iskandor and Nykyrian were placed in Ravenclaw, where I totally wanted to be due to my family heritage.

When we entered our respective houses and rooms, I quickly adapted to everything and made friends. I realized how strong-minded and determined Slytherin members were, which made me immediately love Slytherin. They encouraged me to participate in activities and utilize my magic to the fullest. They didn’t want me to hold back at all, which was great! I felt like I had total freedom to do everything I wanted. I felt like I fit in perfectly, and Christina stayed by my side the whole way through, which made me feel happy and confident. We spent time together in the common room and mystery room, talking and hanging out, until midnight when the headboy of Slytherin told us to go to sleep.

The next day we received our schedules and attended classes. Our first class was Potions, which was interesting. I had no idea what to do, so I sat next to Nykyrian and observed him carefully, copying his every step to create an antidote for paralysis. Next class was History, a subject I thoroughly enjoyed. I answered a question about the history of the school, but once again, Nykyrian stole the show and answered many other knowledge-based questions. He earned many points for Ravenclaw, but I wasn’t far behind and Hocus Pocus was helping too. Next class was about magical creatures, and I totally rocked! I answered questions and provided lots of information for the class, which earned us many points for Slytherin. After classes, we met up with our friends for lunch and exchanged information about similar classes to help each other out.

After lunch, we attended the Dark Arts class, where I surprisingly shined brightly. We learned how to perform Expeliarmus, a wand-disarming spell, and I made a dummy explode! Hocus Pocus, however, had great trouble with this spell and even stayed after class in order to learn it. Next class was Transfiguration, where we learned how to transform objects into random things and creatures. I performed well here, earning Slytherin more points and we took the lead. Lastly came P.E. class, which was all about broom riding. I sucked at this because I didn’t care about it. I could already fly with magic, so I didn’t see the point in using a broom. Hocus Pocus stole the show and rode his broom like a badass! He helped us seal the deal, ensuring that Slytherin had more points than any other house at the end of the day! Iskandor also performed well in broom flying, which led to both Iskandor and Hocus Pocus joining Hogwarts Quidditch teams!

At the end of the day, I returned to House Slytherin and met up with Christina. We talked for a while and ate dinner together. We also briefly saw Hocus Pocus and Sarah together at dinner, and then they left together too. After dinner, we decided to do our homework together. We spent an hour trying to do homework, but we just chatted a lot and shared stories about our classes. Then we met another Slytherin girl names Rebecca. She was very studious and tried helping us for another hour, but once again, we talked a lot and she finished her work, but we did not. Rebecca left to her room and I decided to finish studying with Christina in the mystery room. It was dark in there, so I cast light magic, which helped me study much better. Christina, however, was distracted by my magic, so I had to work extra hard to help her finish her work. After completing everything, she rested in my arms in the common room. It felt amazing, the first time any beautiful girl had ever done this with me. I promised her that I would always watch her back if she watched mine. At midnight, we went to our separate rooms.

Next day was Saturday, which meant no classes and a chance to take care of personal business. I convinced Christina to join two social clubs: Student Government and Vortex Club. On our way to the Student Government meeting, we ran into eight Gryffindor students who started bullying us. Thankfully, I’m a quick-thinking bad ass, so I cast Fly magic on myself, grabbed Christina, and got us both out of trouble. She kinda thought I was a wuss for running away, but I know that I made the right decision.

Once we reached the Student Government club, we talked, met people, and voted for positions. I convinced everyone that I should be Treasurer and I helped Christina become Secretary! This was a huge victory for House Slytherin and I, having access to money is always a plus.

After that club, we moseyed over to Vortex Club and bumped into four Gryffindor guys along the way. This time their leader wanted to talk a bit. I tried convincing him not to fight me, but he was very determined. We both first tried disarming each other with Expeliarmus, but failed. Then I created clouds of smoke to use for hiding and moving around. I caught the leader’s goons by surprise and took them all out with the Stinking Cloud spell. The leader, however, was more resilient and unaffected by the spell. He eventually cast a weak version of the Stupefy Charm on me and it put me on my ass. Thankfully, Christina helped me up and I convinced her that it was a good time for us to leave the battle, so I cast Fly and got us both out of there.

When we reached the Vortex Club, we found out that it was mostly consistent of Slytherin and Gryffindor students. The club is responsible for all parties and festivities in school. Christina and I made friends with everyone and the first school event was already being planned. It’s a celebration for all 1st year students. Some members wanted to keep it boring and lame, but House Slytherin and I wanted it to be extra spectacular with magic flying everywhere. The club leader even wanted a wild magic battle in the sky between a Gryffin and a Snake. We left the meeting feeling very excited for the future.

I had two more quick jobs that I wanted to do and Christina gladly joined me. I wanted to visit the Headmaster, but he wasn’t available, so I left him a nice note. It basically said “I think you are amazing and inspiring. I saw you in disguise as a bank teller at the magic bank and thought that was super cool. Thank you very much for letting me join your magic school.”

Then I wanted to visit the main office and ask about their electricity grid for the school. I specialize in air/electricity magic, so I thought that maybe I could somehow help improve the electricity system and make it more efficient. Unfortunately, the people in charge of this were not available either, so Christina and I returned to House Slytherin and hungout together for the rest of the day. We pretty much solidified the fact that we liked each other and promised to watch each other’s backs and do everything together. I approve

Session 2 - Time passes by and evil rises

3 months have passed since the first few days at Hogwarts. I have become a prominent member of the Vortex Club and Student Government Club. I do a lot of work for everyone, help people in school, and I've gained lots of popularity. Most importantly, Christina is officially my girlfriend. She told me that she loves me and I love and support her in every way.

I'm also performing well in school, but something strange happened during the three months. I received numerous gifts from people around the world. However, the gifts weren't for me, they were delivered to me by accident. I returned all of the gifts and people loved me even more for that. However, I did not return any gifts to Gryffindor because they try to bully me all the time for no good reason. Instead, I sold their items to the goblin at the magic bank. I still don't know how or why these gifts came to me, but I have a slight feeling that my ghetto owl may be involved.

It’s now the weekend and we have a Quidditch Day! All houses are playing against each other in two fantastic matches. First match is Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! Vortex Club wanted us to create banners for all the houses to show off during each match. Christina and I created mediocre banners for all other houses, but House Slyherin had the best banner by far. It was hard to create banners for other houses because we didn’t know what they wanted or expected. Our Slytherin banner had 3D visuals and flashing lights!

Before the match began, I noticed that Hocus Pocus was super nervous because of all the people watching in the audience. I walked up to him, talked for a bit, and cast a happy charm to help him calm down and have fun. As a result, he totally caught the snitch and won the match! He flew around on his broom like a badass and nobody else stood a chance.

Ravenclaw played against Hufflepuff next match and destroyed them! Ravenclaw scored numerous points and shutout Hufflepuff. Iskandor also caught the snitch, but he totally didn’t deserve it. He was flying terribly the whole time and the snitch practically flew right into his hand.

After Quidditch, we spent the rest of the day organizing a party event and haunted house with magic and entertainment for nighttime. We spent hours preparing everything, but in the end, it was all ruined. We all attended the party, danced for a short while, and then chaos happened. A storm cloud spread within the room and lightning bolts killed three students (two from Ravenclaw and one from Gryffindor)! Everyone ran away and teachers pulled out their wands. A mysterious shadowy creature appeared in the middle of the room. Teachers fired their magic at the shadow, but had no effect. The creature cursed all of Hogwarts, claiming his desire for revenge, and disappeared. We all had to return to our houses for the rest of the night.

The next day was Sunday and I was determined to find out more about the electrical grounding system in Hogwarts. If it were better, maybe the electricity would have safely surged into the ground and those three students wouldn’t have died. As I made my way to the Student Council office, I noticed a strange shadow bubble. I threw a gold piece at it, and it wobbled for a second, but nothing else. When I reached for the gold piece, time slowed down and my hand took a long time to grab it.

Seconds later, a dark voice spoke to me and then attacked! It split into three different creatures and fired electricity at me. I started using stealth tactics with Solid Fog; it’s a cloud that slows the enemy down. Then I performed continuous wind attacks to harm the creature and keep him within the cloud. I also cast a Fly spell to give me speed and aerial advantage. He depleted roughly more than half my health, but I won the battle and my regeneration soon healed my wounds.

I was yelling for help throughout the battle, and at the end, two kids from Slytherin showed up. I explained what happened and they said that they would report it to the proper authorities. I asked to go with them, since I was involved, but they acted super shady and said not to worry about it. I knew they were up to no good, so I flew quickly to the Slytherin office and told my story. Apparently, other students were involved as well and shared similar stories about attacks throughout the school. However, not everyone can see nor fight these shadow creatures for some unknown reason. The headboy of Slytherin handed me a special slip that allows me to see the Headmaster in person. I went to the Headmaster’s chamber immediately.

Session 3 – Worms and Shadows

Iskandor, myself, and two other students were asked to report to the edge of the dark forest. We met up with a teacher who gave us instructions. She wanted us to go a little bit into the forest and find a fenced-in area with large magical worms. Then we had to clean them and remove magical pus from their bodies to use as medicine. I took charge and setup ways for us to take turns doing work and watching out for magical creatures that may attempt to attack us and eat the worms.

A bunch of magical creatures tried attacking over the span of a few hours. There were magical birds, snakes that could turn to stone, and other random creatures that attacked us. Thankfully, we performed very well and accomplished the task, but one student ran away. Another wanted to leave too, but I used my charm magic to make him happy and less nervous. The teacher congratulated us and we received points for our respective Houses.

A few days later, the issue with evil shadow creatures emerged and we all met up at the gargoyle statue. It came to life and guided us into the Headmaster’s meeting room. He gave us information about the shadows, organized all eight of us into two groups of four, and asked us to go into the dungeon and find more shadows. We entered the dungeon, walked around for a while, and found a chamber with 4 big shadows conducting a ritual. We interrupted their ritual with numerous clouds, stonewalls, and attack spells. We demolished the shadow creatures using electricity, wind, acid, and illusory wall spells. After battle, we reported back to the Headmaster.

The Headmaster commended us, and then we shared information about what we learned from our battles. The other group fought against a giant Minotaur shadow. The Headmaster briefly fought against the master shadow and found out a little bit of information, then escaped. He encouraged us to continue our studies and gave us special magic badges that allow us to communicate and know each other’s location, kind of like a magical GPS. He also told us that we should not discuss our operations with the shadows and return to him once per week for further activities and information. We agreed and returned to our school activities.

Session 4 – New Business and Big Changes

The Dark Arts teacher asked for our assistance. He found out about Hocus Pocus and I being members of the Headmaster’s special shadow hunting group, we called ourselves The Order of the Gargoyle. Anyway, the Dark Arts teacher asked us to help train 7th year students in a crazy obstacle course. They ran through and Hocus Pocus and I hid behind walls with teleporters. We used the teleporters to jump around the obstacle course. I dealt lots of damage and cast charm spells to make students drop their wands and get confused. Hocus Pocus created magical walls and slowed them down. Since they were 7th year students, we could not stop them, but we sure gave them a run for their money. The teacher and students thanked us for our cooperation and then I spent the rest of the day in classes and with my girlfriend Christina.

The next few days implemented major changes that students had trouble adjusting to. The Headmaster called the whole school to a meeting and revealed that Houses were being combined!!! Ravenclaw and Slytherin combined to become Slytherclaw. Hufflepuff and Gryffindor combined to become Gryffylpuff. Common rooms, mystery rooms, hallways, and everything combined together with magic, even the dinner tables. I didn’t mind the idea because it would allow me to socialize and work easily with others, but Christina and many others didn’t like the idea. I tried convincing her, but she wasn’t buying it.

After receiving the news, Christina and I went to the Vortex club and they were all totally panicking! I got everyone to calm down, made a short speech, and then handed it off to the president. He thanked me and made Christina and I part of his special committee. We did some work and then I ran off to the Student Government club while Christina stayed behind to help in Vortex club. Student Government club was surprisingly calm and relaxed. They had everything under control, but I still helped them with new ideas and I took notes for Christina. When Christina arrived, I caught her up on what was happening and we finished our club work together.

Due to House changes and being members of The Order of the Gargoyle, our class schedules also changed. Now my friends and I all have the same classes together. Nykyrian dominated in potions class, but I dominated in all of our other classes together. I especially performed well in Dark Arts and Magical Creatures classes. I learned a new paralyzing spell, beat down dummies, and paralyzed opponents in mock battles! I also befriended a unicorn on my first try, and completed all tasks involving unicorn first-aid, and learned a new bandaging spell.

One day, Nykyrian sent me an owl message to talk about business. It was a perfect coincidence that I needed a favor from him as well, so we decided to work together. Nykyrian needed help distributing and advertising his new business of creating potions and magic items for students. I agreed to put up posters and get students to sign up and become customers. Nykyrian did a special favor for me and created a gift for my girlfriend. I did my job and got 6 new customers for the business. Nykyrian did his job and created a plaque for my girlfriend. It had a Slytherin serpent made of electric resistant tubing, water inside the tubing, and electrical receptors for eyes so that if you cast electricity into the eyes, it will make the whole snake light up! There was also a message at the bottom of the plaque that said, “Never forget”. The gift worked perfectly and we were both satisfied.

Moments later, Iskandor came up to me and rudely asked me to help his business, but I had just finished helping Nykyrian and I had to do stuff with my girlfriend. Iskandor had major attitude and I tried explaining that he had to make a deal with me, similar to how Nykyrian and I made a deal together, but Iskandor was stupid, immature, and annoying. He obviously doesn’t know how to do business. Regardless, I told him that I would maybe help him another day.

I ate dinner with my girlfriend and she was still angry that multiple houses were combined. I took her to a quiet area in the library and gave her a gift, the Slytherin plaque that Nykyrian made for me. She liked it a lot and thanked me with a kiss, but I could tell that it was bitter sweet. She wasn’t really into it and clearly still not satisfied with the changes at Hogwarts. Suddenly I had a brilliant plan. I cast fly on her and me and we both soared into the night sky above Hogwarts. I created magical clouds in the shape of a Slytherin snake and Christina filled the clouds with magical water. Then I cast electricity magic throughout the Slytherin snake cloud, making it light up brightly in the sky for all of Hogwarts to see. Christina was thrilled! This gesture totally won her over and we had a very romantic and wild night.

One day before P.E. class, our magic badges started beeping and we received a message that something weird was happening above the school. All of the owls were circling around a tower, so Nykryian and I cast Fly magic while Iskandor and Hocus Pocus rode up to the tower on their broomsticks. Nykyrian made us all invisible and we quietly opened the tower door.

Inside were numerous shadow creatures performing a ritual. They didn’t notice our presence, so I cast my most powerful spell, an Empowered and Maximized wave of electricity that dealt massive damage to all enemies. They were critically hurt, but still alive afterward, so we continued pummeling them with spells and they fired back as well. Some enemies attacked with elemental magic and others stayed in a circle to finish a ritual. They tried creating magical bubbles to protect themselves from harm, but our spells pummeled the enemies and they all eventually died.

However, there was a shadow minotaur coming out of a portal on the ground! It was climbing out slowly and we all did our best to keep it down by attacking, but it was very resilient and most of our spells could not affect it. Eventually, we all realized that our only chance was to combine our magic power together into one shot. Unfortunately, we hadn’t learned how to combine magic yet. Nykyrian was very intelligent and a great student in class, so we all decided to focus our magic upon him. Thankfully, he studied well and knew exactly what he was doing. He focused our magic and fired a paralyzing spell at the minotaur. It worked and he was paralyzed, but stuck halfway out of the portal! Hocus Pocus quickly cast Grease and the minotaur slipped down into the portal screaming for revenge.

The portal closed and all was well again. We used our magic badges to report the good news to the Headmaster and then we returned to our P.E. class. The teacher was about to yell at us for being late to class, but she received a message about our work and said nothing. However, she did ask Hocus Pocus and Iskandor to perform tricks and racing on their broomsticks. The rest of the day went smoothly.
