Enimies of the Heir Beware #2

[Malvolio 'Mal' Gaunt]

Hi all,

So we're all wanting to start Morgan's Chamber of Secrets plotline and need to know who wants to get involved/who still wants to be involved.

To set the scene, please meet Mal Gaunt, the most pathetic little excuse for a human being I could come up with. The plan is for Septimus Malfoy to recruit Mal into his gang of Merry Men and have him open the chamber and unleash the 'horror within'.
Being the sad sack he is, Mal is delighted to be needed and accepts. What we need now is victims and a plan. 
I think maybe setting a "wake up date" for those who will be petrified, and a date that the chamber is closed and poor little Mal gets whats coming to him. So what I'm thinking, if you want to be petrified, PM me the date you'd like to be petrified and I'll make a thread for you on that date, so you're in control over how long your charries are out for. 
Same as anyone who want's any characters killed off, just PM me the date and I'll make you a thread.
This way the list of victims isn't common knowledge and everyone can be shocked by what happens!
What do we think of organising it this way?

I like the secret part.
Maybe we can post the links to the 'action' threads here so if one booksmarks this thread one gets info on where something happens, so where to throw all the students to create some panic?

Also to collect here might be Mal's gang? Maybe we have some courageous figure to even create an oposing gang or something like that. Just let the ideas flow?

And since we already started early on with creating panic outside Hogwarts as well, we should continue where we left off. However we have a power vacuum in the adult world as there's not much of a leader with Septimus not really played. I have merely Hendrik Braun as a puppet who can't act on his own. He just blows up random muggleborns on orders so far, but there might also be a big coup in the adult world?

[Katy]

Here's something I've got. I'm not sure if it'll work, but just have a look.

Octavian Malfoy's grandfather's wife was Mathilde Gaunt, and, while the Slytherin traits seem to have passed by most or all of his family, they came out in Octavian. While not as prominent as in the direct line, he's an unknowing parselmouth, though he's never used that ability, except for once when Septimus noticed it. After that, he sort of took Octavian under his wing, knowing that Tenebris' line were not purists, and instilled Slytherin beliefs in him. Without Octavian's knowing, He's a sort of emergency backup for Mal-- if something should happen and Mal makes a major mess-up, then could sub in Octavian.

If that's alright?

Septimus Malfoy: Approve?

[Sophie]

I agree with Leo about the secret part. And Leo is also right about the opposing figure when the chamber does open. A few purebloods in Slytherin will support this like how Draco had when it happened.

As for outside Hogwarts, we can have like the Dark recruiting creatures and dark wizards for added man power and all.

I still very much like this plot and it's rather juicy. I'll surely pm you about my involved characters. The only thing I want people to know that the 'bad' characters will be found out and punished in the end. So take that in mind, there is no such thing as a perfect crime. And even with the help of a few adults they'll be students up against Professors and aurors who know what they're doing. So if you want to involve your character: know what you're doing and stuff should be discussed and agreed upon to prevent god modding. So far the serious matters up to the fun part.

I'll list my characters who could play a big part in this plot and what side they're on. However in most cases I am not sure about their fate, might discuss it later with Kath and or others. Just so people can do smaller threads already.

Johnny Clarke(2nd year, Slytherin, muggleborn) < Well I suppose he isn't going to be leave this without a scratch. He is a brat who grew up on the streets of London before he lost his family and started living in the orphanage. Johnny has a pet rat which is very dear to him but other than that he doesn't really get along with people very well. The lad has a rather foul mouth and doesn't know respect.

Anthony Black(4th year, Hufflepuff, pureblood). He is the little cousin of the current NPC headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black (cannon link). This guy is a blood purist and not very good at his job so I assume this is the reason the plan could get this far. On to Anthony: he might be a good kid but his health will always be an issue. His parents brainwashed him telling that being close to muggleborns and dirtybloods will make him sick. So is rather scared of them. He also recently found out his father things he is an embarrassment as weak as he is so he might want to prove himself to his blood purist father even if he doesn't want to hurt anyone. 

Magnus van Helrov(6th year, Halfblood). He is currently Mal's only friend even if they don't really use that word, they are. Mag worries a lot(for the first time in his life) for Mal's sake. The elder Slytherin found out about a few things but because he promised Mal to keep it to himself, things managed to excalate. Magnus is not the heroic type, actually as the sadist he is he'd more likely be a baddie. I view him as a grey character. He doesn't give a damn about a few dead students but he feels somewhat responsible for Mal and does not agree with where the guy is heading. Besides that he absolutely hate people who think they're better just because of their heritage. So Magnus will be a more sinister way of fighting blood purists, he operates in the dark. He doesn't really fight them but he want to put them in their place. 

Harold Borgin (DADA Professor, head of the Slytherin house, deputy head, pureblood): This is a rather powerful character and I do not want to abuse having him to ruin the plot. Also he is not entirely sure where he stands in this battle as he absolutely loathes muggles but does not share the view that muggleborns and halfbloods must die. Yes they're lesser but aren't bad people per see. Actually he wants to take them away from the muggle society and build a perfect world for wizards only. Those are his ideals which probably will never come true. Harold thinks he is the hero in his own story but the ways he uses to get his power and success can be doubted. Some who read his background or rped with him know he lost a part of his humanity and can change in another person when the hunger for power is awoken. He is corrupted by the dark arts he studied for a long time. 

I'm pretty sure as most of the evil students are Slytherin there will be at least one thread involving him approaching them. 


Characters at Hogwarts but not per see involved until something happens:

Almir Vilgot Rochester(7th year Gryffindor, pureblood but hangs around with everyone and everything): He has the Gryffindor hero complex. If one of his friends (I assume Trev as muggle born isn't safe) gets hurt, he will start doing something against it. Even though he isn't a fan of violence there is a point where things go to far to be ignored.

Benjamin Burke(Potions Professor, pureblood): Actually I think he might flee from all this. His life is complex as it is and there had been too many fights, chaos and death around him. He'll be neutral and just provide some potions from his cellar to cure people eventually.

About my other students: Lev, Nora, Viola and Francisca  I am not sure yet how or what. 

[Katy]

Alright, I guess I'll do that for Kat and Tavi.

Katarina Rosier (6th year Ravenclaw, pureblood): Kat does not believe that Muggle-borns should be allowed to attend Hogwarts, but, while she can be violent at times, and because of her family status knows a good bit about the Dark Arts, she doesn't believe in murder. She would agree with the purist ideals, but probably wouldn't want to get involved with the Chamber.

Octavian Malfoy (5th year Slytherin, pureblood): Octavian is a purist. A violent purist. He's already at his age deep into the Dark Arts, and hates anyone without pure blood viciously and violently. He's rather dangerous, and from a very young age latched onto Septimus' ideals like a leech, adhering to them perfectly. He's spent his whole school career subtly putting roadblocks in Muggle-borns' way and the occasional more violent crime. He was nearly expelled once, but decided to be far less open after that. He would ideally support Mal except for one thing: Octavian can't stand to be controlled. He'd be more likely to turn Mal in than actually support him, simply because he'd want to do it himself. (If the plot above is accepted and he's a backup for Mal, etc, it doesn't really affect this as Octavian doesn't know anything about it-- his parents kept him away from snakes since they found out.). In the end, I really don't know how he'd stand. It all depends on if my idea's alright.



Also, Felan:

Felan Howell (19, outcast, werewolf, muggle-born): The Dark side could attempt to recruit him because he's a werewolf, but since he absolutely detests it, he's unlikely to join up with them-- also, he's a muggle-born, though that really doesn't matter anymore since he's a wolf. Could have a part in their undoing, though.

I love the idea of it being secret and no one really knowing when another character is going to be petrified! I'm highly excited to see this plot in action and I have some ideas I'll be pming to you, along with dates for petrification. All of the happenings will definitely be added to the timeline of site events, though I'm thinking a thread updated along and along that has a count of which characters are down for the count or dead would be good? Just so that everyone is aware.

[Katy]

I think pretty much everyone's agreed on the secret thing. It's a good idea, and, while it will make us slightly mad with suspense (possibly), all the more reason to do it.

[Malvolio 'Mal' Gaunt]

!! I'm so glad we like the secret keeping idea. I can make and update this thread or another for when people get petrified/killed with links to the actual rp-thread. And we could also put a thread in the hospital wing so friends can visit the petrified students and have an ongoing reaction to it? Especially since some of them might be out for a little bit, we don't want them forgotten.
As for Octavius. I'm happy for him to help out, but I think that would be under Septimus' descresion, Mal couldn't know about it becasue he'd lose his mind and try to kill his competition. Being the Heir of Slytherin is literally the only thing he has. If Wein's okay with it perhaps rather than try to throw off suspicion he's sent in to fix Mal's errors? If you didn't want him caught up in the punishment though he might need to steer clear towards the end of the plot. I'm happy for Mal to take the fall here - he's just a puppet in this afterall.
