whatever new site changes, or activity check's and other such important announcements that we admin's have to make, we'll be posting them here, so if you don't want to be behind the times on the latest, be sure to check this board regularly.

the most magical place of all - the plotting board, where ideas are born and plots are created on whims. come hither, plot with us, don't be shy!

in need of the long-estranged lover, abusive brother, or just the childhood sweetheart your character never got over? well, you've come to the place to request them, simply put up a thread and hopefully stooping guests and members will pick them up in no time. brownie points to those that do.

it's first come, first served, so make sure to claim that pretty face of your character before anybody else snags it, among other things. after being accepted, this is the next place to look at - be sure to leave nothing unclaimed!

of course, you enter the castle from the great doors on the ground floor, through which you step into the entrance hall. it has a great spiral staircase that leads to upper floors, and also the great hall, where the students gather for assemblies and meals. the staff room is situated on the ground floor also.

for all those students taking muggle studies, defence against the dark arts, and history of magic, well, your classes are on this floor, so be sure you're on time to them.

be careful not to upset the ghost that resides in moaning myrtle's bathroom, people. apart from the haunted bathroom, the transfiguration classroom and the detention hall is located on the second floor.

the third floor includes the hospital wing - where you need to be at if you're injured, so madam pomfrey can tend to you - as well as the charms classroom.

maybe you need a good book so you can research more about those rather nasty mushrooms your potions teacher asked you to write about - well, the library is here, so why don't you drop by?

Sub-board: the library

the fifth floor is mostly deserted, but it hosts the prefects bathroom, and quite a few empty classrooms.

if you're one of the few that takes ancient runes, your classroom is right here.

this floor might as well host all the rooms you need, for it has the room of requirement. it's also where you'll find your divination classroom and gryffindor common room.

the gameskeeper of hogwarts, rubeus hagrid, has been living in his hut in the grounds ever since he was expelled in his third year almost two decades ago. you're likely to find fascinating creatures he's trying to tame every time you visit.

hogwarts has several green houses full of exotic plants, some of them useful enough for madam pomfrey to make antidotes with them, the others, poisenous and better left alone.

this is the perfect place to enjoy the lush beauty of the hogwarts grounds - however, be careful not to get too close to that whomping willow!

one of the prominent features of the hogwarts grounds is the black lake, where students often go for a dip after a hot day spent in classrooms. its best to keep an eye out for the giant squid, though.

the forbidden forest hosts home to a number of magical creatures that are both dangerous and well, kind of creepy. it's not a safe place to be, you might mess up that lovely hairstyle you took hours to perfect, or worse - a limb or two. best keep away from the forest.

be sure to speak the name right when if you're using the floor network for getting there - it's diagon alley, not diagonally.

the shady street that illegally sells dark artecrafts that you're better off not messing with, knockturn alley is full of characters you better avoid - unless of course, you're voldemort's minion, in which case, you perfectly belong here.

the rest of the wizarding world is right here, whether it be godric's hollow or otherwise.

all the complete or dead threads will be moved here to be kept stored.
