Hell is empty and all the devils are here

If you had been a muggle, youd have been diagnosed with something like psychotic depression. You
suffer from almost constant feelings of worthlessness, inability to care, agitation, with the odd paranoid
delusion.
There is a reason why you are like this. 25 years ago, your mother received the Dementors kiss for having
successfully used The Killing Curse (The Av. Ked.) on another member of magic society. A murderer, she
had to receive her punishment, and the aurors took her soul away from her, leaving the new life beating
inside. She carried you to term, an empty shell, only made of meat and bones.
At the time, it was believed that the dementors would hurt only the owner of the lips they kissed, and no
one could anticipate the effect it had on the baby. Well, here we are. It is as it is. You function from day to
day and you almost have a college degree now, a lot of people have no idea or dont care (thats probably
it) how you feel inside all the time: empty.
You spend most of your time searching for something more, something true. One thing makes you feel
alive, makes you forget yourself: hurting others. When you cause pain, whether emotional or physical, you
truly feel captured in the moment, glowing.
So far you have not been as interested in breaking curses as in creating them. But perhaps it is time your
break yourself down a bit, perhaps to be build up again? Someone must be able to help you.

Light / Dark
Light Side: You are usually calm, cool, and in control. This is mainly due to already having given up, you
have nothing to lose, so there is nothing to fear. You like puzzles and riddles, and you consider other people
to be much these things you dont really understand them, but you approach others with kindness, and
when possible, you like to lend a helping hand when you can. You have something truly good inside you,
and if someone could manage to crack your shell and get you to trust them, you could probably be very
happy.
Dark Side: At times, you feel half mad, as if nothing you do or say will help, as if reality is crashing around
you. Then you desperately need something to hold on to, someone to touch or hold on to. Having power
over others make you feel grounded, which means that you tend to prey on the weak.
Questions to ask yourself
1. You seem to think you have figured others out and you approach them analytically, but what would make
you stop up and see them? What does it take to make you interested in an actual connection?
2. Were you placed in Durentius for any other reason that your apparent ability to be occasionally charming?
In which ways are you diligent and valorous?
3. There is a current werewolf issue in Europe. How do you feel about the creatures? Rumors will have it
that there are even some among the students.
4. Which traits in others do you find almost unbearable?
5. Have you thought about what you want to do when you finish your final year at Czocha?

What to do?
1. Join Fight Club, a secret group of students who likes to use battle magic against each other and see
how far they can take it. Their leader is the Durentius prefect Niclas Akerman.
2. Seek out victims, people who are unsure of themselves, less magically talented, muggleborn, the
blameless, shy, and uncertain. Perhaps youll be surprised by someone among them, perhaps youll get
nothing but disappointment, but surely innocence and goodness will pave the road to your salvation if there
is one.
3. On the other hand, try to forge stronger connections to those who might challenge you or understand
you.
4. Find a date for the post midterm party.
5. Have you tried Elixir of Euphoria? Filip de Leau from Faust is said to be able to get it.

Ideas for relationships

Professor Bombastus Bane who teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts II is known as a former
death eater, his wife died in Azkaban, and his son was born in there and is there still. He is known
for making the seniors practice forbidden curses on each other to ensure that they will be better able
to defend themselves. A rumor will have it that he finds that the Cruciatus Curse can be used for
pleasure as well as pain.
Bane has brought his two, up until this point unknown, children into the college as home schooled
juniors. They will not know a lot of people, perhaps speaking to them would be a good way to get
closer to the professor.
Livia Glossop, the professor of DADA I, is, it is by now well known, a vampire. She must be used
to feelings and needs that are difficult to control.
The Durentius house ghost, the Baron of Trolle is a friendly and courteous being, but also extremely
shady (for someone without a shadow), he is always working on a scheme.
Someone youve cursed
M. Gardiner
Nationality: British
Former school: Officially Hogwarts, in reality Westminster school in London.
Bloodline: Muggle. Thats a secret.
House: Libussa, attributes are daring, foreseeing, and creativity
Major: Auror
Year: Junior

You do not belong here at all. You are a muggle through and through, and for the most part your life has
been quite ordinary. You grew up as higher middle class muggles do, listening to radio shows, eating ice
cream on sticks, going to sleepovers to sing karaoke and talk about boys all night. Your mom is a lawyer
and her girlfriend does financing. You went to a pretty good school and wanted to maybe go to Kings
College to study something like physics or biology.
Youd always had a vague idea that there was something more, a sensation in the back of your head, but
you never really thought about it too much. Things sometimes happened, like that time your aunt Sybil
appeared to be more than usually purple colored an entire day during Christmas. Incidents like that would
seem so strange while they were going on, but afterwards they would sort of drift out of focus. Still, you
werent very taken by surprise when you discovered that magic was real. It happened by accident on a visit
at aunt Sybils. There you were, sitting in the living room, having tea and cucumber sandwiches like no big
deal when visitors arrived. They were wearing the strangest clothes one guy had what appeared to be a
girdle on his head. They entered the house, busily chatting, and apparently, they thought you were one of
them, talking to you about things like goblins, Gringotts, gold coins and dragons. And you realized that the
life you thought had been enough, wasnt really.
Once you had discovered that magic is real, you began to seek it out. You realized that you could blend in
with the crowd, that you could pretend, and you got yourself into places such as Diagon Alley by simply
following wizards and witches who entered. You began going to the Leaky Cauldron, paying with gold you
had gotten by selling muggle curiosities. This is where you met the young magic user who made you fall
so much in love that you realized you could never go back. And where you met the magicademic professor
Bombastus Bane who decided that you had potential, and told you about his plan.
You are now a secret agent, a false witch in a college filled with the real kind, and it is quite terrifying. You
know that many of their kind look down upon ordinary humans, some even despise them, and you know
that they attempt to guide their secrets ruthlessly. But if you could really learn magic! If you could get to
live in this world and be close to your loved one who cares about the danger. Dare to dream!

Light/ Dark
Light Side: You are in most ways a sensible person, careful and considerate. Youve always thought long
and hard about your life decisions. This is the one exception, you are completely head over heels in love in
more than one way, you have fallen for the castle and the people who have become your friends. You only
wish you could be honest with them.
Dark Side: Doing something like this would make just about everyone a little crazy. The double life you
are leading is making you doubt everything. You feel like people are constantly staring, like you are
followed and you dont easily trust anymore. You must believe the scheme will work, because when you
doubt it on any level, you are prone to becoming frantic, hysterical, overly excited.

Questions to ask yourself

1. What does it take to upset you? And how do you react when it happens?
2. Which qualities are attractive to you?
3. It appears there are creatures such as werewolves, vampires and strange house fairies that everyone seems
to really dislike. How do you feel about these new species? Do they frighten you? Or are you excited about
them?
4. How far will you go? If it comes to it and you are close to being revealed, what are you willing to do to
stay at Czocha?
5. If the experiment succeeds, if you actually become a real witch, what will your reaction be?

What to do?
1. Keep your eyes open. Many things are going on at this castle. Perhaps it will be useful to get in contact
with someone who knows more.
2. Be a typical muggle. Turn your wand the wrong way, wear really mugglish clothes, carry an iPod on you
that constantly goes out because the magic waves are disturbing the signal.
3. Seek out groups where magic isnt expected. Such as the light-dark neutrality club C.A.N.D.L.E. or the
Discussion club. Try to find a protector. You are in a dangerous situation, and you could use powerful
friends.
4. Write your parents from the castle. Try to convince them that you have not, in fact, been kidnapped.
5. Get in trouble, get caught, panic.

Ideas for relationships:

1. You are not alone, form an alliance with Banes other protg M. Bezalel
2. Find the target of your affections.
3. You are in trouble, you need help figuring out how all of this works. Find allies, perhaps they think you
are simply really, really bad at magic.
4. An enemy - perhaps you got in at the expense of someone they care about or you took someone or
something from them.
5. Your aunt is a witch, perhaps you have more magical family.
