if you want your house to win the house cup, then model behaviour is a must - in this board, there's a thread for prefects and teachers to add and subtract house points, and also other ways to earn points, so check it out if you want to bring your house glory.

accepted applications will be moved here into the appropriate member groups by the admins, so that you can look through them when you wish. it's like the accepted application heaven - however, if your character has been deemed inactive, the application will be moved further down into the archives.

so you've been accepted? perfect! this is the place for you to hook up your character with everyone else, plot away!

Sub-board: CLASSIFIEDS

every character's got a few personal items that they keep close - items such as journals, notebooks, and albums, perhaps? this is the place to expand your character by delving deeper into their minds and hearts - of course, make sure to keep the personals somewhere secure, otherwise, anyone could read them.

of course, you enter the castle from the great doors on the ground floor, through which you step into the entrance hall. it has a great spiral staircase that leads to upper floors, and also the great hall, where the students gather for assemblies and meals. the staff room is situated on the ground floor also.

hogwarts has several green houses full of exotic plants, some of them useful enough for madam pomfrey to make antidotes with them, the others, poisenous and better left alone.

this is the perfect place to enjoy the lush beauty of the hogwarts grounds - however, be careful not to get too close to that whomping willow!

one of the prominent features of the hogwarts grounds is the black lake, where students often go for a dip after a hot day spent in classrooms. its best to keep an eye out for the giant squid, though.

the forbidden forest hosts home to a number of magical creatures that are both dangerous and well, kind of creepy. it's not a safe place to be, you might mess up that lovely hairstyle you took hours to perfect, or worse - a limb or two. best keep away from the forest.

be sure to speak the name right when if you're using the floor network for getting there - it's diagon alley, not diagonally.
