w.h.a.t?
We are an established forum having been in play for almost two years. Our board is set in the world that J.K. Rowling created in her infamous Harry Potter series. We are partially canon, set in the future. We were established prior to the release of Deathly Hallows and as such, some of our details differ from what happened in the final book.
We boast intricate and unique plots, friendly members and an awesome, tight-knit community. We have a unique time system, a unique system for magical abilities and a brand new, immersive format for classroom conduction. Our members range in age from 13 to 31. Writing ability ranges from complete newbie to incredibly advanced. However, most of our members write at an intermediate level.
p.l.o.t
In 2020, a traitor infiltrated the school. There were quiet attacks in the night and panic was in the minds of all involved, students and staff. No one had any clue who it was and the attacks continued for an entire school year. Then the Traitor made a mistake. They were caught in the act of killing. The charms professor, Marlene Causcree, committed suicide in a cowardly act but no one knew that upon her death, she'd be leaving something far worse behind.
During the spring ceremony for the deceased, those who'd been attacked and marked with a curse, quickly noticed their painful scars vanishing. The symbols carved onto the victims vanished and carved themselves into the stone floor of the Great Hall. The magical force of this exploded the windows of the great hall, causing pandemonium. The symbols, from an ancient language, had arranged themselves as they were to be read. And the message couldn't be more grim. The curse of Europa is imminent, the death of summer.
None knew the meaning of this until a few days later. That's when the snow began. The snow began and it didn't stop. The storm spread outwards from Hogwarts, eventually enveloping the whole of Europe. In 2024, after almost 2 years of endless snow, some wandering students discovered an entrace to a lower chamber. The staff, in exploring it, found the horcrux of an evil wizard that had established his icy lair long before Hogwarts Castle had been built. The story quickly unfolded that only the blood of the youngest heir to his line could revive him since the blood of his servant had already been spilled, in this case, it was when Marlene Causcree's blood had touched the grounds of Hogwarts.
The youngest heir was the granddaughter of the Deputy Headmistress and this evil horcrux was determined to possess her. In a valiant fight, the professors managed to defeat the being, destroy the horcrux and once again restore order to Europe. But while the staff had been fighting, some creatures, born from the snow, had attacked the inhabitants of Hogwarts. Some would never be the same again. The winter finally ended, the snow melted and the sun came out once more.
Everyone thought that the problems at Hogwarts were over but that thinking was short lived. A new creature began to stalk the castle. It looked like a werewolf, but it wasn't. It was snow white, had red eyes and was bigger than a werewolf. And it didn't come at the full moon. It came when there was no moon. And it came to feast upon human flesh. In the spring of 2025, a massacre took place. A few students came upon the destruction in the kitchens where the beast had attacked the house elves. When the students found the scene, the only human was unharmed. And it was the Head Student herself, asleep in the middle of the massacre.
What next awaits the walls of Hogwarts? You can only find out if you join the ranks.

Okay. Now that the big old boring ad is over and done with I'm going to tell you about our site.
There's not a HUGE member base, but there's like 20 of us. There's a lot more characters however....most of us have at least two, some are up to six. The girl who runs it just took the character limit off too, so that number is bound to go up.
Really, HTNE is just a tight-knit community that loves to RP. Honestly, we talk as much OOC as we do IC. Now, I don't want you thinking that we are cliquey and don't like newbies, because I just joined in June and by July felt like I had been there for my whole life. It's just a really really fun plalce to be and the new term just started, so now would be a really good time to join. Please check it out and if you don't join us, than good luck on your search!
