This is the forum where you are allowed to ask all your questions regarding the site. You may also report spelling errors, coding errors, or anything else that just doesn't seem right to you. This isn't the place to "rant" about other members; if you wish to do that, then simply pm a staff member.

After you have read through the plot and all of our rules, this is your start. Inside as well as the application template. We ask that you do not post unfinished applications.

Inside you can sign up for various activities. More lists will be added once things get started in the game. You can sign up for your house Quidditch team, or even apply to be a Prefect or a Head Boy or Girl. Inside is also the Face Claim, which is required for all members to reply to so they can reserve their celebrity, as well as the Job Listings.

This forum holds sub forums for applications. There are the four houses of hogwarts (Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff), as well as the Professor, Ghosts, and Adult applications once they have been accepted.

If you ever feel like your character is stuck, or you just want to find someone to play a certain character, than by all means fill out a roleplay request. You will probably be able to find someone to roleplay with shortly after posting a request. You can also discuss plot ideas for your character(s) inside as well.

A shipping debate is a new movement that has seemingly taken over the roleplaying world. You basically create an ad sheet for your character, explaining who he or she is, and what you are looking for: friends, lovers, enemies, etc. From there, you and other members start planning and plotting, creating character relationships.

The correspondences forum is a fun way for character interaction without having to go through actual threads of roleplaying. Inside, you will find sub forums designated for passing notes in class, sending owls to friends and family, as well as in character journals and photo albums.

The dungeons and sub-levels of Hogwarts might not be the happiest looking places, but it's home to the Slytherin Common Room. The dark and dank halls of the dungeons give it somewhat of a spooky factor, something that the Slytherins enjoy. if you aren't a Slytherin, the only real reason why you might be down this far under the school is to go to your Potions lesson. The Potion Lab is almost as dark and spooky as the rest of the dungeons.

The Cellars of Hogwarts are slightly less dramatic than the Dungeons, probably because of the students that reside here. The Hufflepuff Common Room is located in the Cellars, a perfect place for the pleasant and warm students to great their housemates. Not only is the Hufflepuff Common Room located here, but the Kitchens right under the Great Hall reside here as well. The House Elves love guests, so pay them a visit if you know how.

The Ground Floor is a very hot spot location of Hogwarts, and is commonly used by students. All the first years are welcomed through the Entrance Hall, where they are then taken to the Great Hall for their sorting and first grand meal at Hogwarts. Even the Staff need to relax from time to time, which is convenient since the Staff Common Room is located here. Argus Filch can be seen hobbling around as the Caretaker, with his office is full of strange items confiscated from trouble makers. Classroom Eleven has long been is currently deserted, but is sometimes used for club meetings.

The First Floor of Hogwarts is home to a couple classrooms, as well as the infamous Hospital Wing. Most students tend to fall asleep in the "boring" History of Magic lectures, which can be found on this floor. If you would like to brush up on your Muggle knowledge, why not visit the optional class of Muggle Studies also located on this floor? If you have sustained an injury doing...something around the school, then head to the Hospital Wing to be healed quickly and hopefully painlessly.

The Second Floor doesn't really contain all that much, but it's home to the long since abandoned Second Floor Girls Bathroom. The Bathroom is home to a young ghost who was a student at Hogwarts, killed by the release of a Basilisk long ago. "Moaning Myrtle", as she is called, tends to be overtly melodramatic. I wouldn't get involved with her, to be honest.

The Third Floor is a very busy place for students, since there are a couple classrooms here and some other random locations that they like to visit. The first thing you will find is the vast Trophy Room. The trophies are almost always shiny, due to Filch handing out detentions of cleaning them. You also can find the Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom, as well as the Charms Classroom.

The Fourth Floor was mainly built for relaxation, study, and socializing. There is the vast Library, but it is more for studying than socializing. However, for your social and relaxing needs, why not stop by the Student Commons? It's set up just like a normal Common Room, except there is no need for passwords. Also, since "Moaning Myrtle" has taken over the Second Floor Bathroom, there has been another Female Bathroom added onto the Fourth Floor.

The Fifth Floor is a fairly desolate space, with only three rooms that are ever really put to use. For those worthy of the title, the Prefects are given their own private bathroom. You also can find the Ancient Runes Classroom on this floor if you are into that type of thing. perhaps the biggest attraction of this floor is the Empty Classroom that is used by various students for well, various things.

The Sixth Floor is another floor with classrooms. This floor houses both the Arithmancy Classroom and Transfiguration Classroom. both very challenging yet fun courses at the same time. The classrooms are located somewhat next to each other, making it easier for students who are taking both of the classes to get from place to place and not have to risk being late and getting a detention. You can also find the Male Bathroom on this floor, used by the boys of Hogwarts obviously.

The highest floor of Hogwarts, the Seventh Floor is home to the central corridor which is the mouth to all the towers that are placed around the school. You can find the Divination Classroom directly at the base of the North Tower, as well as the Gryffindor Common Room at the base of the Gryffindor Tower. Another Empty Classroom finds its home on this floor, and though many people do not know of it's location, the Room of Requirement is here as well.

Once you step into the central corridor, you will have choices as to which tower you can go to. The north tower is home of the Divination professor and her office. You can also take a nice little stroll up the Ravenclaw Tower to reach the Ravenclaw Common Room. You can also walk up the Gryffindor Tower and get a beautiful view, which is where the Astronomy Class is taught. The Headmaster's Office is also it's own tower, hung with portraits of all it's previous inhabitants.

The beautiful grounds of Hogwarts are a wonder all on their own. If it's a nice day out, why not have a picnic along side the Lake? I'd watch out for the Giant Squid, however. He gets hungry too. The groundskeeper, Hagrid, also has his homely hut on the grounds of Hogwarts. The Forbidden Forest is here as well, though it is forbidden to enter by any student. Bet you couldn't guess that by the name. The Quidditch Pitch is outside as well, and if you're lucky you can watch a team practice and maybe even play your own free game with some friends. Though be warned, there is also the dangerous Whomping Willow, a giant tree that attacks anyone who dare goes near it.

The small village, which is located walking distance from Hogwarts, is a popular hang out for students who are old enough to visit. The village is almost as old as the school, with lots of friendly old stores. You can find pubs like The Three Broomsticks or The Hogs Head, perfect for getting a warm Butterbeer. Some other popular stores are Wizarding Wheezes, Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop, and Honeydukes Sweetshop. There are also random vendors and buildings that make up the quaint village.

An extremely hustle and bustle area for all witches and wizards, Diagon Alley has more shops than you will be able to count. Some popular ones are Quality Quditch Supplies, The Magical Menagerie, Florish and Blotts, Madam Malkins Robes, and of course Ollivander's Wand Shop. You can also find important places like Gringotts Bank.

Knockturn Alley, the place where you hear dark stories of murder and mystery. Parents rarely let their children down the dark and dank alleys, and for good reason! What appears to be just a dingy alleyway is actually where the shops are devoted to Dark Arts items are centrally located. The alley is connected to Diagon Alley near Gringotts. There are stores selling shrunken heads, live gigantic black spiders, and poisonous candles. Street vendors include an old witch with a tray full of whole human fingernails, and other various items like flesh eating slug repellent. You can also find Borgin & Burkes, the largest Dark Art item establishment in this area. Be careful when ever you are in this area... Lots of dark things go down, and people are never seen again once they enter.

St. Mungo's Hospital was founded in the late 1500s by Mungo Bonham, and was the first successful hospital dealing with magical injuries. The hospital is very well known through out the magical world, and no one even considers taking their loved ones to any other hospital if they truly care about them considering St. Mungo's has the highest life saving rate out of any hospital. Once inside, you will find the five floors (including the Ground Floor) all with their own set purposes and floor for certain needs.

The Ministry of Magic is located in the heart of London. The actual structure itself is totally underground, although magical windows that are placed in various areas show the weather chosen by the Magical Maintenance team. They have many choices, including hurricane and bags of sunshine. The Ministry of Magic is also protected by more magical safeguards and charms than you will ever learn in your life, making it almost impossible to breach security. Almost impossible.

The city of London, built by the Romans centuries ago, still stands today a proud reminder of all that was and can be. This area is for any thread that is happening in London, though not in any of the specified forums already created.

This is the area of the board where we have all of the lovely residences. If you would like one for your character(s), simply fill out a request in the Sign Up area and the staff team will make a sub forum for you.

This portion of the board is dedicating to welcoming all of the new members. Once accepted, please create a thread in this forum introducing yourself and let us get to know you better. Of course, this isn't mandatory, but we'd love to get to know you by name instead of saying "Hey, you!"

Come in here and chill as yourself, not your character. The General Chat forum is here for just hanging around and chatting with other players when you are in between posts. There is also the important Absence Thread that you will need to post at if you are leaving the board for vacation or some other reason.

The games forum is for all of the games. You'd think that'd be common sense, right? These threads are here for the sole purpose to have fun, out of character, while either waiting for posts or just hanging around the board. If you see a game that you absolutely love hasn't been created, don't hesitate to create a thread for it! You will also find the Graphics Forum inside, where you can request or set up your own graphics shop.
