No New Posts POTIONS CLASSROOM

it is large enough to hold double classes, cold enough to see one's breath in the winter and creepy enough without the jars of pickled animals lining the walls. there is a gargoyle in the corner spouting icy water into a basin.

No New Posts DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS CLASSROOM

2 19
No New Posts CASTLE COMMON ROOM

the castle common room is a mixture of all of the common rooms for each house. It's filled with squishy armchairs and couches, with a few fireplaces and tables spread about. it came to the attention of the teachers that there was nowhere for students to relax and hang out with students from other houses, so this was created as the solution to the problem.

2 5
No New Posts HISTORY OF MAGIC CLASSROOM

this class is what the title suggests - the history of magic, which is often a bloody and unsettling history. however, the textbooks tend to gloss over some of the finer points, giving students an incomplete history.

SECOND FLOOR

Board Threads Posts Last Post
No New Posts MOANING MYRTLE'S BATHROOM

the bathroom's wooden cubicles are worn and ill-maintained, and even the stone sinks are chipped. like many of hogwarts' rooms, it is candle-lit, but the candles are in holders rather than a chandelier and there are not enough of them to light the room properly. the sinks, which form a row under a large cracked and spotted mirror, have copper taps, one of which has a tiny snake scratched on the side.

2 26
No New Posts SWORDHAND'S OFFICE

a welcome feeling is cast over professor swordhand's office. the curtains are almost always drawn out. the desk is made of elder wood on the desk top and holly, willow, sequia and yew on the legs. his chair is made of apple wood. His surroundings consist of various books about the dark arts and defenses both in theory and known uses and practices from other sources. you'll usually find professor swordhand there grading papers, helping students and others, reading or researching. his office opens freely to anyone who needs to see him.

1 2
No New Posts PARTY ROOM

this room is an old ballroom, converted into a party room. it's a place where students can get together and throw a party if they like - the good part is that the teachers don't know it exists (or do they?) because of some spells placed on it by a crafty student.

No New Posts PREFECTS' BATHROOM

this is fourth door to the left of the statue of boris the bewildered on the fifth floor. the door requires a password (the door itself knows the correct answer), and can be bolted from the inside. inside, the bathroom's walls, floor, and single sunken bathtub are all made of white marble, lit softly by a candle-filled chandelier. the rectangular tub is the size and depth of a swimming pool, and even has a diving board, but unlike an ordinary pool the tub is lined with about a hundred taps, each with a differently coloured jewel set into the handle.

No New Posts LOVER'S LANE

when couples get the urge to be alone, or do something romantic, lover's lane is the place to get away. it's not necessarily a lane, but whatever you'd like it to be. a meadow, a secluded spot, a romantic place by the lake...
