GREAT BRITAIN:
BEFORE 2021, WORLD CRISIS BEGINS
The magical world is real, and even Muggles are aware of that fact now. Everyone, in one fashion or the next has somehow been connected to it; a woven web of tangled lies, deception, fear, hate, and anguish. And yet, some still have profited from some knowledge the muggles now have. Knowledge can be a power or a demand, and with the magical world, even in muggle hands, that thirst for knowledge has proven not only dangerous, but lethal toward all human life.
It is that very reason the brink of war is upon us…
…for both muggles and wizards alike.
Magical Remedies, Mischief, and Bootleggers (1 sub-board) And it's all here in one world, at one time, during one war that could devastate not only the magical world, but the muggle as well. When two worlds combined and there is no more secrecy, can Earth as a whole survive?
Questions, Concerns, and Suggestions (2 sub-boards) Here all members and those interested may pose questions, concerns, and/or suggestions they may have. The only one we ask you do not post is about applications, please PM the Administration Account for any questions concerning an application. Have a suggestion to help better the site? Why not post it and watch the discussions unfold concerning the suggestion? Need to know vital information you just cannot find elsewhere on the site? Pose a question here about it.
Character Applications (4 sub-boards) Here you may find the correct Application Template to submit your character application, however, make sure you use the correct template! Also, be sure to read the Rules, ToS, and other important information which may be found in the Administration Area.
Accepted Biographies (7 sub-boards) Here you may find all the Accepted Biographies created by RPers for their characters. Anything you wanted to know about a peculiarity of a particular character? Read their biography. Remember, a character won't know everything about another, but here one may find what observations they may make about another.
Tea Time (1 sub-board) Come sit down, rest your minds for a while and just socialize and reminiscence with those you RP with. Everyone has a life besides the ones they play here, and we all love to hear about them!
Advertising (2 sub-boards) Wanted Ads. In Need Of Ads. Looking For Ads. You know what we're talking about. A Guest Friendly board where members, and non-members, may advertise their RP sites. A site does not need to pertain to the Harry Potter Idea in order to advertise on this board. We're looking for all kinds, as it takes all kinds to make things work.
Creative Corner A place to show off yourself, who you are, and the things you do to enjoy yourself. Whether it's writing, sketching, making videos, or singing, we wish for you to feel comfortable enough showing all of us your creations.
Dungeons (3 sub-boards) Down winding staircases, through damp and chilling walls, witches and wizards find their ways to less than appealing, sometimes drastic, and usually interesting things. Empty classrooms once used for devious ways, torture equipment not properly stored (yet glued by magic so no one can remove the devices) and those still used today by the Potions Professor for storing goods, teaching lessons, and the students who wish to stray from their paths.
Ground Floor (3 sub-boards) Double oak doors open to reveal a large room with high-rise ceilings lit with flickering candles. Across from the double doors is a set of stairs which lead up to the First floor, with descending staircases to either side. Directly to the right are the doors leading to the Great Hall. Standing in a nook are four hourglasses, empty at the beginning of every term, hopefully not at the end, as these hourglasses record House points.
First Floor (4 sub-boards) A place full of knowledge, learning, and illnesses. One floor up and full of empty classrooms, corners, and many hidden areas. The first floor is a rather empty corridor, except for the few spread out classes and the occasional appearance of Peeves, other than the ill student or professor, this corridor is one of the more quieter ones, good for many things, bad for the curious bystander.
Second Floor (2 sub-boards) A popular corridor, the second floor usually bustles with noise. Many seek for the numerous hidden passages which litter this floor, though they avoid, at most costs, the girl's loo. Few go beyond the entrance to the Head Master's Office, unless they are more than sure no one is in the area and will not be for quite some time. This floor is also protected by a number of the famous guard who stand watch at every turn, waiting for those who they need to punish.

Third Floor (3 sub-boards) More like a museum than a school, this particular floor holds two large rooms full of trophies and cups behind glass. In fine tune with the rest of museum qualities, this area is quiet and a good place to study if no other area is quiet enough. The most one will hear here is the tapping of wands against glass trying to figure out how to reconfigure nameplates, break the glass, or change the meaning of an award.
Fourth Floor (2 sub-boards) A place of great plethora of learning, the fourth floor holds much more knowledge than other places in the school. The library is halfway down the corridor to the right and full of answers for most questions, full of questions for the readers, and is mostly full of empty classrooms which are great for studying and other such activities...
Fifth Floor (2 sub-boards) This corridor is full of secrets, and not just those that are obvious. Ever heard of a huge tub full of bubbles and great smelling things? What about statues that reveal secrets beyond measure? Or even those pesky suits of Armour that refuse to budge, yet you could swear their helmets were facing the other direction only moments before when you passed them by. Try and discover the secrets all your own, or with another.
Sixth Floor (3 sub-boards) This floor is a less populated one, without many magical attributes, such as few passages and little attraction. Though the classes on this particular floor are full of life and magical interest, it seems students do not often stay near the corridor too often. Sometimes though, Peeves may just catch the unaware student well off guard.
Seventh Floor (2 sub-boards) Full of life and characteristic magical attributes, the seventh floor makes for a wonderful area for student mischief. The mystery that surrounds this corridor cannot be explained, such as an appearing room with just the right needs; moving Armour; and many depictions of paintings, photographs, and tapestry of magical events and people.

Assorted Towers (2 sub-boards) Here is where all of Hogwarts owls are kept, where the Eagles and Lions live, and where romantic scenes take place in the topmost towers. With the moon shining far down on those brave enough to climb above, the students studying for Astronomy, and the professor staring off, this is a most interesting area of the castle. The shadows that cast down upon the land give eerie visions and the visions those see as the look up at the towers are quite eerie as well.

Hogwarts Grounds (5 sub-boards) A large open area with hills, flat grasslands, a lake, gardens, and so much more. The surprises awaiting are unimaginable to the most creative of minds, even in a place that seems like a dream as it is. The only thing we ask is for you to stay away from the Forbidden Forest and the Whomping Willow, they have their names for a reason.
Hogsmeade (4 sub-boards) Great Britain's only fully Wizarding town, and it's every student's dream to be a third year with a signed permission slip stating they may partake in the adventures awaiting them here. Every step you take, you'll be turning your head to take in all the incredible sights, sounds, and smells. From the Shrieking Shack to the Post Office, everything is new and exciting.
Diagon Alley (6 sub-boards) A world beyond any imagined lies just past a large brick wall. How one gains access is for another to decide, whether they tap bricks, use floo powder, or find other means inside, only those with knowledge can enter inside. Full of shops and quaint areas, there is also a darker side to each store front since the new age has taken place, its up to a witch or wizard to decide where to enter, and where to stay far from.
Other Wizarding Areas (3 sub-boards) Areas meant only for Wizarding eyes, as muggle eyes merely slip over the places where these are placed. Throughout all of the UK, there are places meant specifically for Witches and Wizards, and these places want only to be seen by those who have the special knack.
United Kingdom (1 sub-board) While a large population of witches and wizards live within the UK area, most of the land is still muggle. The fun of it though, is that often witches and wizards can be found pointing at strange things, like coin-operated kiddie rides, watering pails, and the odd or end tossed outdoors. However, all are cautioned when they travel into the muggle world, to be aware of themselves and all around, we don't want to draw too much attention, now do we?
Other European Areas Witches and Wizards love to travel as much as the next person, and sometimes find that traveling by muggle means is easier than by magical. We are found abroad, and now that our secret is out, we're being found more and more often everywhere. Germany, Italy, and Spain are only a few places we might present ourselves for whatever reason, but keep an eye out for that one person staring at a traffic light in disbelief of what it could really mean.
Other Worldly Areas Look over your shoulder, at your neighbor, at the stranger passing by. Could they be one of us? Could they really be the ones you know nothing of? Located throughout the world, Witches and Wizards are everywhere, as muggles are. They stand alone and in crowds, sometimes they blend and other time they don't. It's a matter of time and day, and just why they've stepped out into a world beyond their norm.
