everyone knows about the horrible war in nineteen ninety-seven & eight: harry potter vs. voldemort. but what would the magical world do if the big disaster struck twenty years early?
will the order of the phoenix be able to fight back? or will the entire wizarding world just crash and burn?

.character journals one of the best ways to get your character's thoughts and feelings down about a certain issue besides threading is having them keep a journal - they can spill their minds and hearts into the pages, away from prying eyes and ears.
.character notes & owls everyone in school passes notes at some point, be it to your friends or your foes; and of course owls are the easiest way to have messages and mail sent to anyone in the world. have your characters write letters to each other, when they can't be together to talk, or notes, for when they can't talk freely during class.

.character chat box everyone's been dying to get one, so here it is - the in-character chat box that is sure to spice things up. it's just a regular cbox, except that you post as your characters rather than yourself. sounds pretty cool, eh?

.the dungeons on either side of the ground entrance hall there are doors leading to the slytherin dungeons and the hufflepuff ones. the two dungeons are very different, but even so, both are endless networks of underground tunnels you would not fancy getting lost in.

.the second floor the second floor, reached by climbing the flight of stairs up from the first, is somewhat uneventful - the main attraction is the out-of-order girl's restroom that is host to the wailing ghost of a girl known as moaning myrtle.

.the third floor follow the grand staircase up and you'll find the third floor, home to the hospital wing for ill (or faking) students as well as the trophy room and several classrooms. there's even a secret passageway to hogsmeade - if you know how to open it, that is.

.the fourth floor the fourth floor is largely composed of the enormous student and staff library - any book you could possibly want to read, on any subject you're interested in, can be found in the hogwart's library. there are also a few empty classrooms on this floor.

.the fifth floor the fifth floor is rarely walked by students except for classes - mostly, it is inhabited by the prefects of the school as well as the head boy and girl, and all quidditch captains. why, you ask? well, for the wildly extravagant bathroom, of course.

.the grassy lawns the grounds of hogwarts are rather spacious, with tons of gardens to admire and fluffy trees to sit under in the nice weather. the sloping, grassy lawns are one of the best places to relax on if you just want to get away from the noise of the school.

.forbidden forest students aren't allowed into the forest, for a very good reason - all sorts of dangerous creatures live in it, and for the most part, wandering in by yourself is a serious compromise of your own safety. but when has anyone ever listened to the rules?
.the greenhouses a set of a few greenhouses sits on the edge of the school, just outside on the grounds. inside, you'll find every kind of plant you can think of as well as herbology classes.

the black lake in the wintertime the lake is all but frozen, literally, but in the summer months - oh it's one of the best places on the ground if you're looking for a nice, refreshing getaway. be careful of the giant squid and the grindylows, of course. oh - and the mermaids.
.quidditch pitch for all the wizarding sports fans at hogwarts, (so basically anyone of the male persuasion) the quidditch pitch is one of the best spots in the entire school. matches are held every few weeks and boy does everyone get competitive over them!

.hogsmeade village hogsmeade borders one side of the hogwarts grounds and includes not only the train station where the students are dropped off every year but also an assortment of stores and houses - one of the only full-wizard villages in britain.
.diagon alley diagon alley is where almost all magical students come to shop for school supplies, purebloods and muggleborns alike. you can get robes, wands, pets, food, brooms, even get your money from gringotts - anything you can imagine is sold in diagon alley.

.ministry of magic the ministry has changed as of recent, and everyone is pretty sure the know who's doing it - voldemort's got death eaters stationed at all the major department positions, including the minister himself.

.azkaban prison azkaban no longer plays host to murders and death eaters, but rather muggleborns. the dementors have sworn allegiance to the new ministry, to voldemort, and are now patrolling and imprisoning anyone that wasn't born into a magical family.
