The most used floor in the school, the ground floor is the first one you meet when you enter through those main front doors. With the great hall off to the side, students and professors alike are always coming and going through here, so you're bound to run to someone.

With the highest number of classrooms on one floor in the castle, it is always bustling with students and teachers alike; some with magical maladies, heading off to the hospital wing.

Ugh, why is there water all over the floor? And who is making that horrible noise? It seems to be coming from the door near the staircase with 'OUT OF ORDER' nailed to it...

The creaking of armour fills the third floor in the dead of the night as the inhabitants of the armour galleries and trophy room keep guard. Students out for a midnight stroll; keep your eyes peeled!

On the fourth floor you'll find the Hogwarts Library. With books on magical past, horrible hexes and guides to any brand of magic imaginable, you'll be able to get all of those nasty essays done it no time.

Sub-boards: THE LIBRARY, THE STUDY AREA

With the wand work, potion producing and hexing homework, you can often forget that the students are in fact, growing adolescents. On the fifth floor, you can find the music halls and art rooms of Hogwarts.

The sixth floor can be a quiet place for students to find some solitude or an empty classroom in which to finish their work. The only thing that seems to be of use is the boy's bathroom.

Sub-boards: THE ANCIENT RUNES CLASSROOM, THE WRITING STOREROOM

Were you not entirely sure that you spotted a door on the far wall of a seventh floor corridor? Isn't that the storeroom in which you found all that parchment when you desperately needed it? Curious...
This is also where you'll need to head if you've been sent to see the Headteacher - but make sure you remember the password to his office!

Acres of land surrounds the vast castle that is Hogwarts school of witch craft and wizardry, and just like the castle, it holds mysterious surprises around every corner. The grounds are a perfect place for a stroll through the green grasses or a skip down the pebbled paths. Or perhaps a secluded watch of the sunset?

Whenever a game is in session the noise from the crowd can be heard all over the school grounds. However when no one is around it is a great place to practice flying and is a popular place for students to meet up.

There are four greenhouses in total, each one holding various plants and creatures that are cared for mainly by the professor, and anyone who opts to help. Herbology lessons are also held here, so make sure you've got your earmuffs and gloves at the ready!

The deep, dark lake that resides on the Hogwarts grounds holds many dark and strange creatures. Apparently, a whole tribe of Merpeople live below its rippling surface. And of course, the giant squid itself is common knowledge. But dont listen to the big kids, first years; it's as friendly as can be.

Sub-board: THE BOATHOUSE

After the destruction of most of the shops in Diagon Alley during the second war, most of the shops were refurbished and taken over by new proprietors. One of the only remaining places left from before the war is Gringotts Bank.

Completely refurbished after its destruction in 1995, the Ministry of Magic has seen many attempts to seize power by the Nouvelle Éra, the Ranascita and the Wizarding Alliance. It seems to almost permanently be in a state of uncertainty nowadays.

St. Mungo's hasn't changed much at all - except depending on the ruling political party of the time, they occasionally refuse the treatment of muggleborns and halfbloods. Mainly though, all with magic are accepted and healed here, without the discrimination of the world outside.

A plot going on in Birmingham or Portsmouth? Here's your place. If there's any thread taking place in an area not covered on the other boards - come here!

Have a house? Flat? Mansion? If it's taking place in a residential place such as these - this is your place to be.

Playing games in character can be fun; hot or not, the person above, etc. But remember, don't let it zap your muse.
