The Hogwarts Express is the train that takes the people of magical heritance to their school; Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For a new normal year, the train departs on the 1st of September at 11am on the dot.

The Platform can not be seen by muggles, as it is surrounded by a lot of magic all concealed. To arrive at this platform, people of magic heritance have to walk through the barrier between Platform 9 and 10.

This is the actual train that students board on every start of the year and at the end of the year. Also some times for their Christmas Holidays students board the train to take a journey to the muggle world or the magic.

Sweets are always sold on this train whenever students board. So keep those galleons and sickles with you!

The hallways around the school are usually quite dark, unless there is a window in them. They are stone, like everything else in the ancient school but you should be quiet around here, the portraits can listen to every word and gossip will spread like wildfire. This outside corridors around the courtyard are rather drafty, and brighter than the ones indoors.

Mysterious dark dungeons, hallways speak of the dark magic, while your mind fogs of all the fear. Come here at your own will, but be careful.

Carniverous wooden doors open onto a huge hall, from which several staircases take you to different parts to the school. The doors to the Great Hall stand opposite the entrance, with the hourglasses for the house points to the left of them.

Double doors in the Entrance Hall lead to the Great Hall, which is a vast chamber with an enchanted ceiling that mirrors the sky outside. It contains the four house tables, lined vertically through the hall with the Teacher's table at the head. Very few celebrations are held here now, and the huge hole ripped in it's side is used for entrance by the owls.

The first floor isn't much different to the other floors, the many enchanted paintings resting on the cold walls of the castle. The chatter of both ghosts and pupils, while the quiet sound of those stairs moved to accompany your needs.

Ancient Runes is the study of ancient symbols in the wizarding and muggle worlds. Ancient Runes were at first in Germanic languages, before the Latin alphabet and for several uses thereafter. There are several types of Runes, such as the Younger and Elder Futhark.

A useful subject if in later life you are to come across codes and inscriptions, and well taught to willing pupils, as it is not the most interesting subject to some pupils.

Moaning Myrtle, a ghost of a student killed over one hundred and fifty years ago haunts this girl's bathroom and is infamous among past and present students alike. This bathroom is nearly always flooded, and anything can set Myrtle off crying, many students make her cry on purpose by saying mean things and being horrible to her.

This bathroom also contains the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, on a small tap that doesn't work with a serpent engraved into it. It can be opened by someone commanding in Parseltongue.

Rather like the girl's bathroom the boys bathroom lacks a loony ghost. In fact, it's more of an unisex bathroom, as most girls use this bathroom instead of facing Myrtle. Well, they do when the staff aren't looking... and avoiding Myrtle may just be an excuse...

The third floor isn't much different to the other floors, the many enchanted paintings resting on the cold walls of the castle. The chatter of both ghosts and pupils, while the quiet sound of those stairs moved to accompany your needs.

The Hogwarts Library is as huge as it always was, thousands of books all stacked neatly upon shelves in order by the librarian. You are not allowed to talk here, or make any noise whatsoever really, and if you even try to deface the books they will resort to violent methods against you, though this can be got round by some crafty students.

Arithmancy is the study of the magical properties of numbers and their uses in symbolism and everyday life. This subject is in depth and interesting, as it shows a way of living life using charts and numbers, a must for any supersticious person.

Muggles call this numerology and wizards use the life charts and such for the same results muggles use horoscopes for.

The mirror of Erised shows the persons greatest desires. A window into the soul it shows not what you think you want, but your deepest darkest desire. 'Erised' is actually 'Desire' spelled backwards.

This room is very nondescript, and very hard to spot inthe hallways, with a very narrow door.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams" Dumbledore famously said, and this is all the mirror will ever show you, dreams, not reality, and many can waste away before it.

This room is always locked now, the regime don't want students getting ideas...

The Dark Arts class is mandatory for all students as in line with the regime. It teaches the essential evil crafts, starting with the Unforgivables and dangerous creatures.

The Prefects Bathroom is the most lavish in the entire school. It has a password, which is only known to Quidditch Captains and Prefects, although it won't stop other people entering if they know the password.

It is a long rectangular swimming pool, with hundreds of taps at one end, which, when turned will start to pour out different kinds of bubble bath, from football sized orange globes to an intoxicating purple one.

This common room was opened by the Head of the school when the La Push and Forks arrivals came to Hogwarts. It is exactly like the other common rooms but the colours are Beige, White. Suttle colours for a carefree common room.

Post anything on the noticeboard that you wish everyone in the school to see and sign up to! Some notices from classes will go here, as well as the list of banned items (in a very small corner where no one ever looks at it). If you wish to post something here that teachers can't see, please state so in the title.

The General Common Room is a place where students from different houses can come to socialize in a setting not unlike their own common rooms. Whether is meeting new people, or copying homework everyone is welcome in this common room all the time, as the door is never locked.

Transfiguration is possibly the most advanced branch of magic students will study at Hogwarts. It's not quite as simple as just flicking a wand and turning a match into a needle, but lots of theory must be studied for success. Students in sixth and seventh year learn how to preform transfiguration on humans, and learn about the more specific aspects of the laws that govern the subject.

The common room located at the Seventh floor of the castle and is only accessable by true students of the house, with a portrait of Godric Gryffindor himself guarding the entrance.

The Headteachers office is hidden behind a large gargoyle who will defend it, as long as the entrant doesn't have the password. The students then have to climb up a steep, winding stairway until they come to a dark wooden door.

The actual office itself is a large oval shape, with two windows at the head of the room which cast light around. Portraits of past headteachers line the walls, as they all give guidance to the current headteacher in times of need. In an alcove there also lies the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, both important reminders of the events of old and important for the continuation of the school.

The Headteacher can usually be found here, so drop in if you have any worries.

Also known as the 'Come and Go Room' the Room of Requirement is practically essential to the survival of misbehaving students who need to hide, and those who are just in need. It is situated on the Seventh Floor, opposite the tapestry of the dancing trolls but can only be found by whoever is seeking it. It can be unplottable should the occupant wish it to be, and when someone is inside, no one else can enter without their permission. This is where the DA practices are held, among other illicit activities.

Only students put into this house may enter and the entrance is guarded by a portrait of Rowena Ravenclaw who decides ultimately who gets in and out with her tricky riddles.

Astronomy is one lesson many students do enjoy and some even may call it romantic at times. This lessons, teaches you the arts of the solar system above that many know even muggles. Astronomy teached our students about the extraordinary and colourful magic above.

The owlery is a home for the Hogwart's Owls as well as student's and professor's owls. The view from the huge windows are extremely beautiful, as you could see the rippling water of the Black Lake and the sun's rays rolling over the Mountain Range.

The main courtyard sits in the middle of the school, with entrances from the open hallways framing it. A light space a large archway opens onto a wide path leading down to the lake. Hedges and trees used to grow here, with vegetation growing through the cracks in the tiles but no more, as they all reacted to the changes to the world.

The black lake is a vast stretch of water that stretches from the shore, a short walk away from the castle, to the high mountains. It is the home to several dangerous creatures, such as the giant squid and the merpeople. If you dare, swim in the icy waters, but please stay in the shallow parts and don't go too far underwater... the management don't want any "accidents" happening...

The Mountain Range is a beautiful place to watch the last rays of the day hide and le the night's sky roll in with pride. Climbing to the high peaks to have a relaxing time and have a sun kissed profile.

Flying is for students who are not scared of heights as a broom and a take off flight into the air. Feeling the beautiful breeze pass your face in the air, but then this is a lesson. Listen to the Professor when you need to get down!

Herbology is the study of Magical and Mundane plants and fungi. In Herbology, students learn to care for and utilize plants, and learn about their magical properties, and what they are used for. Many plants provide ingredients for Potions and medicine, while others have magical effects of their own right.

The Dark Forest is quite a scary prospect for most students. Known since forever as 'Forbidden' because of the dangerous creatures that reside there, only the bravest- or most foolish students enter there.

It is the home to many species of mythical beast such as the respectful Centaurs, the dazzling Unicorns and the frightful Acromantula, to name a few, but sometimes it is another type of monster you need to fear, as werewolves and vampires can never be far from the dark confines of the trees.

Madam Puddifoot's can be seen on the way into Hogsmeade, and is usually avoided like the plague by many teenage boys, and by the slightly less lovey-dovey girls. Inside waits dainty china teacups, sickly buns and tea for young couples in the first, mad, stages of love to gaze into each others eyes over. Some people do genuinely come here for the teas and standard of the food, but they are few and far between as most are scare away by the garish pink Valentines decorations, which seem to be permanent.

A small but popular pub in the middle of Hogsmeade it is always crowded and smelling of the alcoholic beverages consumed within it's confines. A friendly atmosphere always awaits those who come here, and Hogwarts students are usually given, a sort of bubble to be in, as the cultures of them and those in the village can be somewhat different in many ways. Students should, however be wary of who they are seen with and what they are seen doing with them here, 'cause gossip spreads like wildfire, especially when the people have had a little too much to drink.

Honeydukes sweet shop is a haven for those pupils with a sweet tooth. Every type of sweet imaginable is available here, and make sure to check out those new Sugar Quills, as well as the Cockroach Clusters and those infamous muggle Sherbet Lemons! A secret passageway also leads into the cellar from the school, meaning that many of the illicit parties are often fuelled by more sweets than Firewhisky- unless, of course, Honeydukes are keeping a store that week.

The interior is colourful, you cannot even see a tiny part of the wall, as the counters will not hold the amount of offers available to the consumer. On weekends in Hogsmeade, it can get uncomfortably cramped for space, but most people will get out alive, with or without the sweets.

The Hogs Head is the less popular pub in Hogsmeade. It is nowhere near as accomadating as the Three Broomsticks, but for an unusual person, or one not wishing to be seen or recognized it is the perfect place. The regulars here are few and far between, travellers such as Goblins and Hags bringing in much of the trade, and for a brave student to stumble in usually causes a stir. Many illicit deals are struck and paid here amongst covering of dust and cloaks, but be warned, if you ever want to drink here, bring your own glass and be prepared for the smell!

Over the years the Shrieking Shack has earned the title of 'The most haunted house in Britain' because of the terrible screams erupting from it once every month. Originally used as a shelter for Remus Lupin to make the monthly transformation into a werewolf it has become somewhat of an iconic place for the students, many daring to go where no sane person has gone before and where no sane person would ever wish to go back to.

The interior of the shack can be described as ragged, old and mouldy. Because of the violent tempers of werewolves and the painful transformation, much of the furniture is ripped, if not destroyed completely, giving a ghostly feel to it, making it feel like if you listened hard enough, you could hear the screams again.

Several parties take place here sometimes, though always under the risk of an attack, so people make sure to scratch up on some astronomy when planning it.
