It's September of 1996, and the characters are returning to their fifth year at Hogwarts. (according to the books, students in year five are 16-years-old, but I would like the age guidelines so the characters can be 18+) Our characters have attended the basic magic classes, and have enough knowledge and experience for most any event that may occur.

My character, Ardella Silverling, comes from a royal family. Her mother, Queen of Audren, and her father, King of Audren. She has attended Hogwarts as a Gryffindor since she was of age and finds her studies in Magic more important than her future duties as queen. Ardella is set to begin looking for a man who will one day sit beside her as King of Audren. She is absolutely despising this day, and would rather spend her time working from the Ministry of Magic as an Auror, just like her father once did. (see character sheet for more details)

Her plans are put on halt once she begins falling for your character. Although normally enemies, something begins to change. As the relationship progresses, there are issues not only because of her status as Royalty but also due to the rise of Voldemort and the death eaters. They are, after all, trying to collect the Silverling family as they are powerful in the wizarding and muggle worlds.

Unfortunately, your character is hiding that they were forced to become death eater because of their family. Will they chose the girl or You-Know-Who?

- Professor Slughorn returns to Hogwarts as Potions Master // Snape becomes the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher
- Slughorn offers Felix Felicis as a reward during his first lesson
- Cursed objects make their way around Hogwarts, starting with Katie Bell and the necklace, then Slughorn and the mead
- Snape kills Dumbledore at the Astronomy Tower after Draco fails to

- As mentioned, my character comes from Royalty and is a princess, but it's disregarded at Hogwarts much like Harry being a "celebrity"
- My character is set to begin courting a man following this school year and is expected to later marry him (a 'forbidden love' between our two characters)
- Death eaters are attempting to "collect" my character's family to persuade other wizards to join them
- Your character is a death eater
- I would highly prefer if your character was rather toxic, at first especially (enemies to lovers), and I would prefer a decent amount of drama to keep things spicy
- A slow burn relationship would be nice as well

𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: Born princess to Alena and Augustus Silverling on November 21, 1977. She quickly took on leadership qualities, following directly in her mother and father's footsteps. As a child, she found comfort mostly in books and nature, which branched into adulthood. Ardella was not often at public events that her mother and father were required to attend, so she never had many friends. She was taught basic education by her nanny, Helen, until the age of fourteen when she began her first year in Hogwarts.

She was sorted into Gryffindor, the same as many generations before her. In school, she began to make friends with students from all houses and picked up a quick-wit from her friends in Slytherin. At school, she has always been treated as an equal and not a princess. Throughout her years, she developed a special talent for magic. She values her students more than her future duties as queen, as she wants to become an Auror. Due to tradition, she is set to begin a courtship the following Summer after her fifth year at Hogwarts.

She is expected to choose an eligible bachelor from a well-known wizarding family in order to keep the Silverling name in good standing. She is not looking forward to this at all.

Right before the fifth year, there was an attack on a large pedestrian bridge in Audren, which killed several muggles. The attack was done by death eaters as a threat against the Silverling family. They have been attempting to 'collect' the King and Queen since Voldemort rose, due to the fact that having such prominent figures as death eaters would persuade more people to 'join the dark side'.

I both put casual and advanced as tags. I would like it to be a mixture of both, with some casual responses when needed and some detailed responses when need. I would prefer correct grammar and spelling - obviously - but I don't expect several paragraphs for every response as sometimes it might not be possible. Please have a backstory for your character as well.

I would also appreciate no ghosting! If you are to lose interest in the roleplay, please let me know so I am not waiting for a response. Also, please be active with several posts a week! I will try to reply at least once a day.
