sometimes we like to change things around here, or announce things; thats the joys of being an administrator on a site so, check in here if you happen to see a new link added to the sidetable or if you receive a message off one of us. it probably won't happen very often though.

this site was made for us just as much as it was made for you so if you have a suggestion or idea feel free to post them here, and only here. board ideas are love and if your character works somewhere that isnt on the board and you think the board would be an ideal place for people, as well as yourself, to roleplay don't hesitate to post that too.

many you have to do so don't worry too much. this should be at least the second place you visit after registering and submitting a profile for approval.

the wizarding world kicks it very much old school when it comes to communicating with others and if it's not verbally done, it's taken by owl. depending on the owl depends on how quick the letter is received but its the only reliable method.

ew. wining teenagers talking about their love life and how the newest transfer from durmstrang isn't into them. how disgusting. journals are a place to write your inner thoughts, feelings and those dirty secrets you feel you can't even tell your bestest of friends. under lock and key or a anti sneaker spell most are guarded better than the gates of hell, is yours?

everybody wants a best friend, a lover, anything so long as they have somebody! here is the infamous character shipping, a place where you bring your character, make a neato little page for them and watch it get filled up with 'ur so gorg bby.' but really, it's fun to plot with everybody no matter the face or personality.

shipping pages really aren't for everyone and most stick to what they know best, plot pages. colourful, and somewhat tricky if the coding is different that what proboards allows. plot pages allow a novels worth of history under a few icons of your character. these are generally used after you've got a history worked out between two charcters.

everyone needs their nick to their miley or selena to their demi and you can post it here. post your own advert for specific people here but don't be too greedy, kids. remember to post in the face claim if you have a certain face in mind just so people don't take them without knowing about it.

while twenty five years later has one underlining plot the characters have all got their own to contend with too whether it be a love story, or a bitter feud. here you can post any individual sub-plots and throw additional ideas back and forth as it progresses.

at hogwarts, a staff of about fourteen teachers apparently handle classes for hundreds of students. any way you look at it, that's a lot of classes for just a few faculty. all professors are available in their office outside of class, or an appointment may be arranged ahead of time. office locations vary according to each professor, but they are never far from their classroom domain.

the great hall is entered by double doors to the right of the entrance hall. the great hall is a vast chamber that contains four long tables for each of the four houses. closest to the doors is the slytherin table, followed by ravenclaw, then hufflepuff, and finally the gryffindor table next to the far wall. on a raised platform at the front of the room is the high table where the staffs dine. the ceiling is enchanted so that it mirrors the sky as it currently appears outside. there are also high mullioned windows around the room that show the grounds outside. behind the high table, there is a smaller antechamber with a fireplace and many portraits.

classes at hogwarts are taught in a variety of locations about the castle. some, such as charms, are taught in classrooms inside the castle. others take place in the greenhouses (herbology), in the dungeons (potions), at the top of a tower (astronomy), or even outside on the grounds (flying and care of magical creatures). a booming bell sounds throughout the castle and across the lawns to signal the end of class.

there are a hundred and forty-two staircases at hogwarts: wide, sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that lead somewhere different on a friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up that you have to rem ember to jump. then there are doors that won't open unless you ask politely, or tickle them in exactly the right place, and doors that aren't really doors at all, but solid walls just pretending.

a magical room which can only be discovered by someone who is in need. it is called the come and go room by the house-elves of hogwarts. the room is located on the seventh floor, opposite a tapestry showing barnabas the barmy trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet. to make the room appear, a person has to walk past the section of blank wall three times concentrating hard on what is needed.

the library contains tens of thousands of books on thousands of shelves. the different sections include an invisibility section, a section on dragons, and the restricted section at the very back, barred by a rope. students need a signed note of permission from a teacher to peruse the restricted section, as it holds books about powerful dark subject matter that is never taught at hogwarts, and is only used by older students studying advanced defence against the dark arts. books in the hogwarts library may be put on hold and the student's name added to a waiting list. chocolate and presumably, all other food and drinks are forbidden in the library, which closes at 8:00 p.m.

the hospital wing contains many beds with white sheets, optional privacy screens, and bedpans not to mention the shelves loaded with potions, and lotions. it also contains the office of Poppy Pomfrey, the nurse.

the only bathroom in the castle that continues to be unused is moaning myrtle's bathroom on the second floor. girl's and boy's lavatories are scattered throughout the castle, and the prefects' bathroom on the fifth floor is off-limits to the other students.

to enter the north tower, it is necessary to climb a ladder on the seventh floor through a trapdoor in the ceiling. the north tower contains sybill trelawney's residence and one of two divination classrooms. this classroom is at the base of the north tower and is a round room with walls lined with shelves (they hold teacups, crystal balls, and decks of cards), small round tables, armchairs, and pouffes. the classroom also has an oppressive fire with a copper kettle that gives off heavy fumes.

astronomy classes occur here, since this is the tallest tower and therefore has the best view of the night sky. the astronomy tower faces west and is located above the main entrance of hogwarts.

the hufflepuff dormitories and common room are in the cellar, adjacent to the kitchens. they are located through the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall, down a flight of stone steps, along a broad, stone corridor lit with torches.

ravenclaw tower is located at the west side of the castle. it is home to the ravenclaw common room and dormitories. the tower is entered through a door that has no handle and no keyhole, just a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. to enter it you must correctly answer an intellectual and/or philosophical question rather than simply give a password.

hagrid lives in a small wooden hut on the grounds, on the edge of the forbidden forest, with his boarhound, fang, who, belying his appearance, is a coward. he has a pumpkin patch behind his hut, with a fence around it where creatures are usually fenced in for lessons.
