It would appear that Hogwarts is, indeed, the safest place to be in these dark times. While inside the castle walls, there have been handfuls of attacks, though the culprit was apprehended and there were no serious or long-lasting injuries. Outside, however, is a different story: students being attacked at Hogsmeade and St. Mungo's has led to increased security on the grounds, but that protection, unfortunately, could not follow students home for the holidays. While the Ministry has tried to keep the disappearances of two students under wraps, word spread quickly once term began and their absence was noted...

[ ]Clock Tower
Probably one of the most impressive parts of Hogwarts once you’ve managed to get over the Quidditch Pitch and The Black Lake (not to mention the castle itself). It houses a huge clock—isn’t the name a clue?—and it doesn’t start at the ground floor. It starts on the Third Floor level because it’s on top of a hill. It has various corridors connecting it to different parts of the castle, but careful! The view may be breathtaking, but you can easily get lost here.

[ ]The Concourse
The Concourse is not only a place for kids of all Houses to go if they need a place to hang out or study, but it is also the only place visitors may enter or exit the castle. Filled with comfortable chairs and couches, as well as roaring fires and study tables, the Concourse is a perfect place for some inter-House unity. Visitors must sign in upon arrival, and must have a visitors pass (signed by Dumbledore) in order to floo into the castle. Passes may be requested and acquired by owl at least four days in advance. Visiting hours from three o'clock to ten o'clock.

Anyone who allows someone to stay late is subject to detention, and the visitor may not visit again for a least three weeks.

Situated on the second floor of the school, the Practice Room is a safe and secure environment for students to go and practice spells for classes. Whether it be for an exam, or just students wanting to improve their skills on a certain spell, any and all can do so in the Practice Room. Teachers often hold after-school sessions as well as actual lessons in this room to prevent damage to the school and its various antiquities.

[ ]Room Of Requirement
Secret room in the castle that can only be reached when you’re in great need of it. Located on the seventh floor of the castle, its hidden entrance is in front of the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance. To make the room appear, a person has to walk past the section of the blank wall three times concentrating on what is needed. Not everybody has the brains to decipher this, though. So those who manage to enter, be welcome!

00
[ ]Professor Dumbledore's Office
The entrance to the headmaster's office is behind a statue of a gargoyle on the seventh floor. When given the proper password, the gargoyle will leap aside and the wall behind it will split in two to reveal a spiral stone staircase that moves like an escalator. The staircase leads to a highly polished door; the door is not sound-proof. The room behind it is circular, with windows that view the mountains. Portraits of passed headmasters and headmistresses adorn the walls. There is an enormous desk and high chair, with a visitor chair opposite to it.

00
[ ]Filch's Office
Filch's office is a small room with a single oil lamp hanging from the ceiling. It smells of fried fish. In it are filing cabinets with details of the misdeeds of students, another cabinet marked as "Confiscated and Highly Dangerous," chains and manacles (not used these days but kept polished just in case), and lots of forms to write up malefactors.

[ ]The River
There is a small river the runs northeast from the lake. Its course runs around the greenhouses and vegetable garden, then near the Quidditch Pitch (where two small bridges are placed in order to get across), and then finally enters into the Forbidden Forest. In the Forest is where the river turns more stream-like and eventually is absorbed by the forest environment. Students often like to sit near the shore and throw pebbles, and other daring students attempt to follow its path into the Forest.

This very dangerous area is out-of-bounds to all students. Many wild creatures lurk this wide territory.

00
[ ]Vegetable Garden
Professor Sprout, in an attempt to encourage students to actually use the skills she teaches them, created a student-run vegetable garden. Anyone particularly interested in Herbology can go out and tend the garden whenever they choose. It contains normal veggies such as carrots and lettuce, as well as some more...interesting menu items.

[ ]The Stables
Built on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the stables house the array of horses that are looked after by Hagrid, the school Groundskeeper. While there are no formal horsebackriding classes offered at Hogwarts, Dumbledore thought it would be good for Hagrid to be able to house at least one type of creature that didn't have the capacity to destroy the school. Because of this, for as long as Hagrid has been Groundskeeper, the stables have become a favorite visiting place of the Hogwarts students.

[ ]Hogsmeade
Once a month, every student who is in the third year or above is permitted to visit the village of Hogsmeade. Provided, of course, they have got their permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. It is the only all-wizarding community left in Britain and although not technically in the school grounds, close enough to merit a place in this category.

[ ]The Leaky Cauldron
Built by Daisy Dodderidge around 1500 "to serve as a gateway between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley", the Leaky Cauldron has remained a famous and popular place for five hundred years. Located not in Diagon Alley proper but on the outside, on Charing Cross Road in the heart of London.

The tavern sees quite a lot of traffic and is frequently crowded. While this can be partly attributed to its reputation as a welcoming place, it also seems to largely be due to it location as a hub for Diagon Alley.

00
[ ]Diagon Alley
Diagon Alley is a magical highstreet, situated in London, but hidden from muggle eyes. The only way to reach this enchanted place is through the inn, The Leaky Cauldron.
Once through, you can buy anything your heart desires. From magical pets to wands and school robes, this is an essential destination for all Hogwarts students.

00
[ ]Knockturn Alley
Just around the corner from Diagon Alley lies a dark, twisting alleyway devoted to the Dark Arts: Knockturn Alley. the shops and the street vendors one can purchase, among other things, shrunken heads, poisonous candles, human-looking fingernails, and Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent.

00
[ ]The Black Estate
A mansion that sits just outside the city of England, surrounded by a large plot of land to keep away the "commoners." Heavily guarded by not only spells and other magical defenses, but by seers who hone their skills specifically to "see" any potential visitors. This used to be the property of the elderly Dorea, one of the esteemed Black family, but when she passed away it was given by the family as a meeting place for the Death Eaters. It is also Voldemort's safehouse and headquarters. Enter at your own risk.

00
[ ]Caritas
The Order of the Phoenix has started recruiting, but in order to stay discreet they created a training area for new members to brush up on dueling skills. This field is in the middle of a twenty-acre farm a few hours outside of England, is unplottable, and is out of sight of any Muggle city for at least five miles in every direction. Meetings are held in the barn on the far side of the field, which is guarded by an abandoned border collie that has since been dubbed "Phoenix."

00
[ ]Ministry of Magic
The Ministry of Magic is the governing body for the magical community of Britain. The Ministry connects the British Government to the wizarding world. Its headquarters is in central London, deep underground. It is headed by the Minister for Magic.

00
[ ]St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
Founded nearly 500 years ago, St. Mungo's Hospital is located, hidden, in London.
With six floors of healers treating all kinds of magically-inflicted injuries, Hogwarts students sometimes visit the hospital on work-experience trips, or else to visit ill relatives or friends.

00
[ ]The Knight Bus
The Knight Bus is a heavily enchanted, purple, triple-decker bus that transports witches and wizards. It’s faster than travelling by broomstick, but not as fast as near instantaneous Floo Powder and Apparating. The bus charges for the service; amenities such as hot-water bottles, toothbrushes, and hot chocolate are available for an extra fee.

00
[image]
[ ]King’s Cross & Platform 9 3/4
King's Cross Station is the muggle location of platform nine-and-three-quarters. In addition, since number twelve Grimmauld Place is located within a twenty minute walk of King's Cross, it must be located within about a mile of the station, so you never know. You may run into our esteemed Black family from time to time. On September, you can see it full of kids with trunks and cages and running straight into a column. Funny thing, eh?

00
[ ]Underground Railway System
Running late? Make a dash for the Underground—or the tube, however you wish to call it. Public transportation is definitely not for everybody, so make sure your pockets are guarded when you step inside it.

00
[ ]Community
Here is where you may post threads located at your character’s homes. These muggle communities have lately seen magical activity due to the heightened fear and caution caused by The Dark Lord’s rise and the sudden exodus of our finest wizarding families from their previous residences. Anything to keep death at bay.
