If you are thinking about joining you should be sure to check out everything in here. Under this forum you will find things like site ratios, rules, plot, and other things that everyone should read and keep an eye on. If nothing else, please read the rules! They are repetitive and dull, but please do it anyway? <3

Any updates and the like important to the site and the plot will be posted in here. This is also where things like staff searches will be posted. This is one of those places that you should just keep an eye on. It might or might not be terribly active, but you should read threads when they show up. kthanxbai.

This forum is guest friendly. If you have any questions about the site, or suggestions, then post them here. This is here so we can improve the site. Please be polite about your suggestions, and please don't abuse it. If guest abuse this we'll take away the guest friendly feature.

Anything and everything you will need to make a character will be under here. All of our claims are in this forum, as well as sub forums to post your applications in. This is where you'll find the app template, the canon list, and all claims. You have to be a member to post, though.

These are the wanted ads! These charries are wanted dead or alive ... but mostly alive. If you are thinking about joining you should DEFINITELY think about taking one of these characters! Everyone would love you dearly if you did! They are just as important as canons, and some might even be canons. So CHECK EM OUT YO!

This is the place where you post your plotter, that thread that everyone rapes and replies to to form plots with your character. You can do the fancy-shmancy old one or one of the newer ones where you just banter and talk it out, but this is the plotting corner. You should all have a plotter cause it helps make things exciting!

Since we are talking 1970's wizarding world, the internet isn't going to be around. But if you'd like to create a journal or a photo album or something, this would be the place to do it. Hell, you could even do a group scrap book. Go crazy and have fun with it.

This is the place to send notes to your friends. These are canon, but I like to think of them as plotting aids. They are a way to push a plot along, or get your muse flowing. These, in no way, replace actual threads. They are just plotting aids, there for fun and muse.

The ICC is beloved by all. People tend to spend more time here than anywhere else. But a few things should be known first. The ICC does not effect the game. This is you bullshitting IC with your character, but it doesn't change the plot. It's a separate entity there to create muse. You can use this to get thread ideas, but if we say everything in here is canon, things move WAY too fast, so it is not canon. Ok lovelies?

If you enjoy drafty corridors and hate the sunshine, then this is the place for you. hufflepuffs and slytherins reside in the common rooms here but that's not all it has to offer. fancy a snack? the house elves in the kitchen have you covered. need to do extra work in potions? this is the place to do so.

During breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this is the place to find students in the Great Hall. Many find themselves mesmerized in front of the house hourglasses, comparing their house points to the others. Whether you're looking for a good time with your best mate or the chance to meet someone new, this hot spot is the place to be.

The first floor is where you will find an array of classrooms which are for History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Muggle Studies. Aside from the classrooms, this floor is also home to the Hospital Wing.

Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom is a place most people like to avoid because let's face it, the girl is crazy. This floor has more than bathrooms though! There's a music room full of instruments, just about any kind you can imagine. There's also a specific empty classroom that has been deemed the snogging room where couples run off to for a private session due to the minimal foot traffic on this floor.

This floor is home to the Charms classroom, most importantly. It also has the Trophy Room, where you can go admire awards you or previous family members may have won in the past. It also has the Armor Gallery, which doesn't get a whole lot of visitors.

The library is on the fourth floor, a serious place for studious people (or just another place to procrastinate). There's also the Study Hall room, which is a small room to the left of the library for group studies. Another important room on the floor is the general common room which is for members of all houses to hang out. The Care of Magical Creatures staff office is also on this floor.

The Prefects' bathroom and common room are on this floor. There's also a room that has several artifacts from the beginning of Hogwarts, a sort of tour through the history of the school. There is also a practice room for Defense Against the Dark Arts filled with dummies and other materials that could help you master those spells. The Arithmancy classroom is also found here.

There's a room on this hall designated for school club meetings, though not all choose to meet there. There's also a gym here and while it's not fully decked out with the latest equipment, there's enough to get your heart pumping. The Portrait room also resides on this floor, a room full of paintings that they just couldn't fit anywhere else.

Ravenclaws and Gryffindors will find their common rooms on this floor. This is also home to the Transfiguration and Divination classrooms. The elusive Room of Requirement can also be found here by those who know how to find it.

The tallest tower at Hogwarts is the Astronomy Tower which is also home to the Astronomy Class, obviously. The Headmaster's office is here as well, just hope you don't ever have to go there if you get into trouble. The North Tower and Owlery are other places you will find here.

The Black Lake is a favorite hangout spot for the students of Hogwarts. It's home to the Giant Squid which has fascinated first years for generations. While swimming in it isn't recommended, it's been done before.

The courtyard is brimming with students after classes and during lunch. There's usually a game of Gobstones happening as well as students sitting on the bunches peppered throughout the area. It's not the largest area but it gets the job done.

This is off limits for students! But who really listens to all of the rules? The forest is full of magical creatures, some friendly but most not so much. Sometimes the Care of Magical Creatures class (or a detention) can end up here.

The largest garden at Hogwarts is full of just about any kind of flower you can imagine despite the season. It has benches, mostly harmless flowers, and a serene atmosphere. It's usually not one of the hot spots at Hogwarts and couples have been rumored to take advantage of the privacy.

The Greenhouses are the place where Herbology classes are held. They're also home to several plants, both benign and harmful. It's not a place to horse around but that doesn't mean it never happens.

The lawns around Hogwarts are massive and seemingly endless. Most of the grounds are taken up by them. It's a nice place to relax, run around, whatever you so please.

classes as well as games and practice sessions are held here! There's a storage closet with Quidditch supplies if one finds the need to come play in their free time. Pick-up games are pretty standard here, so if you want to join in a game, just come on down.

Watch out! This tree will hit you over and over again with no remorse. Students are warned to stay clear of it but sometimes the occasional poor soul will find themselves near it and swept right off their feet.

This is the magical section in London which is the hub for witches and wizards in the area. There are numerous shops, fun places to hang out, and a good place to hear the latest news. This is where students buy the majority of their school supplies and where all wizards bank at Gringotts.

Hogsmeade is the only all-wizarding village in Britain! It's home to many cool shops and the best part is that students are allowed to go there on certain weekends. The venues range from pubs to joke shops to the shrieking shack.

This is where all of the political goings of the wizarding world happen. It also just so happens to be the largest employer. If you want your voice to be heard, this is the place to go.

St. Mungo's is the hospital for magical injuries and maladies. If you've gotten yourself injured beyond repair, these folks will be able to heal you (hopefully).

Everyone needs a home, right? Right. Here's the place to roleplay anything happening within your character's house.

If you want to roleplay somewhere that doesn't fit into any of the other forums, just post them here! This is a free for all and can be in the muggle world as well if you so please as well as any other foreign country.

This forum is for any AU threads you'd like to play out. These are not canon, they are just for fun. In this forum you can put your own AU twist on a plot. It can be a world where there was never a James. A world were Lily married Snape. A world where Remus isn't a werewolf. You can do anything here.

All active event threads from events will be moved here once the event is over.

Are you inspired for a thread that will happen years down the road, or happened when your character was young? Well this is the place to go. These threads are canon, and either happened in the past, or will happen in the future. You can go crazy and use the time turner, here.

There are sub forms here for various fun things we like to see in the OCC section. There is a section for intro's, and random chat. So check it out and have a blast. This is where you should get all that spam, tolling, and flaming off your chest. Pretty much anything goes in here. Just play nicely.

We all have our favorite games. Hot or Not. The Stalker Game. The Gif Game. Feel free to start them up, or even create a new game. While some games may be IC, none of this effects the game. Don't take it too personally if people are mean, and try to have a good time <3.

THIS AREA IS GUEST FRIENDLY, because it's the advertising area. Be sure to post in the appropriate sub-forum, and don't stretch our board! Make sure the links in your ad work BEFORE you post. If you re-post every few days we won't care, but don't spam our ads with dozens of ad's ever day, cause that's just annoying.

This area is for graphics. You can post a thread requesting that someone make a thread or you can make a thread to offer your services to people. You might not have Photoshop, but other people do, and they'd probably be willing to help you out if you asked!

LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE, PLEASE. It doesn't matter if it's for a week, a month, a weekend, or for good, we'd really like to know if you are going to be disappearing on us. This is the forum for absences to be noted. Start a thread and let us know if you are going to be leaving us, please! =)

This is where you will find the applications of rejected, dead, or abandoned characters. We put all of them in here, so let us know if you want your work deleted from the archives.

All threads, plotters, and other character related threads will be archived here. Sorry it's not more organized ... let us know if you want your work to be deleted, please! There is a thread pinned up in here for you to link us to completed threads so we can archive them! =) Feel free to help us keep the site clean.

Announcements, games, departure threads, graphic requests, and anything that doesn't relate to a character will be archived here.
