Hogwarts Revised: Hogwarts Secondary
Credits:
JKRowling for the universe, of course, and both Kendra & Aiden over at Elliquiy for the basic premise of the idea (also, got permission from both to bring the basic premise here).
Synopsis:
It's been 75 years since the end of the Great Wizarding War. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the renowned school attended by Harry Potter himself, is indeed still open and running. However, a sister school has also opened in another part of northern England. This sister school is for those who wish to continue their studies after attending Hogwarts so that they can take classes and earn degrees specializing in any of the magical professions that litter the magical world. This sister school opened about 10 years after the end of the Great Wizarding War as a safety precaution for future witches and wizards since there were rumors that the world still wasn't safe from the now bitter ancestors of those who'd followed He Who Must Not Be Named. Worried that there could indeed be another uprising, a secondary school was established and the original Hogwarts fortified even stronger. Over the years, other secondary schools also began to form, but none quite like Hogwarts Secondary, making it the best (and the one most sought out to attend) secondary school for witches and wizards in all the world.
Setting:
Hogwarts' Secondary, the sister school to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is the main setting for this group RP. Like its sister school, Hogwarts Secondary also follows a 7 year system, however the final 2 years typically involve field work, which includes introductory payment within the field of choice. A major must be declared by the end of year 5.
1st year - age 18
2nd year - age 19
3rd year - age 20
4th year - age 21
5th year - age 22
6th year - age 23
7th year - age 24
Possible Majors - Magical Law Enforcement (police), Aurors (specialized law enforcement), Mediwitch/Mediwizard (nurse), Healer (doctor), Journalist, Herbologist, Curse Breakers, Arithmancers (mathematician), Magizoologist (zoologist… can specialize with specific animal), Spell Inventors, Potioneer (chemist), Professor, Charmer, Tradesmen (wandmaker, broommaker, etc), other (leaves room for members to create something)
Houses:
Like its sister school, Hogwarts Secondary has the standard houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin) that require sorting. Though extremely rare, it is not expected for a student to necessarily remain in the same house in which they'd resided in the original Hogwarts if that's where they'd attended previously. Transfers students or students who'd been unable to attend the original Hogwarts for some reason will be sorted accordingly and are expected to be welcomed by those of their assigned house.

That out of the way, if there is any serious interest, let me say that I fully intend for this RP to be a bit more complex than most group RPs. There WILL be set rules specific to it that I will establish and they WILL be followed. PERIOD. My game, my rules, but I assure you they will be easy and make sense and help make the experience a good one. Again, provided there is interest.
Also, I will need a few people to help me GM/moderate (I use the term moderate loosely here) this group RP given I have admin duties, but I will speak to those whom I CHOOSE to help out assuming there is indeed interest. So……… anyone? Anyone? If there's interest, I'll be happy to go into more detail and start fleshing things out. I just don't want to put in the work if it's going to be a bust because no one wants to participate. I will say this much though….. we'll need students for each house (they can be students who went to the original Hogwarts, transfers, whatever), some basic faculty, etc. And we'll eventually probably need some NPC sorts. But that'll depend on how involved things get. But, I'm not going to make up character sheets until I see what the interests are. So again…… anyone?
