this is where we will be posting bulletins and annocentments about the site as we progess. we will post an activity check once the site is running and will carry on with these each time the site starts to dwindle. we will also be updating you on developments in the site's plot and how we plan to move the site along in the future. We will also use this area to discuss nominations for the spotlight and other various awards the site has to offer.

this is probably one of the most important sections of the board. this is where you come to make your character. the application template needs to be followed carefully. we are a non-canon site, this means you start from the beginning without any help from us, giving you complete freedom to do whatever you want to do. we do however ask that you do not use pictures of yourself or anyone else from myspace or other friend networking sites as your pb, cause that is just freaky and weird.

the magical hall of fame. this is where you want your application to end up. if we file it here then you can role play in other areas of the site. anyone can come back here and can read up on a character who is already made. applications help get a better grasp of the character and so this is a very important place to come when plotting with someone.

Sometimes you just need that one character to complete a plot, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try you just cannot find anybody to take them up. Well this place can help; put up a post with the plot suggestion and maybe somebody would be interested to take them up. However please make sure that you post with plot ideas, spam posts asking for face claims are not welcome.

with no post office, the wizarding world kicks it old school with owls. they can be a little bit message, and sometimes unreliable, but it is the way they roll. so here you can send owls to people you care about, or just throw one out there and hope people get it. though if the person is in close range, then there is always the option a nice little note, cos lets face it…it is a alot cleaner.

it started in Hogwarts, and now the kids have graduated they where reluctant to let go of, so it was extended so anybody within the wizarding world can use it. developed from muggle technology, it works very much like msn. a person signs up for an email adress and can log on and chat. it is a craze that is sweeping the nation and sadly replacing owls.

gossip what would one do without it? well even though everyone has left Hogwarts, it has not stopped the rumour mill. people still insist on scratching gossip on the walls, and posting it on annoymas websites. It is out of control and only fuelling the golden snitch, who has not given up since everyone she talked about left Hogwarts.

ever wanted to know something about a character, well this is the place to do it. here you can make a thread for your character, for people to reply to with questions for that ‘said’ character. the character can answer truthfully, but they are allowed to lie. this is just one of things the professors have added to intranet, to make Hogwarts just that little more interesting for the current students.

these streets are a dangerous place to walk, or even to consider walking at night or during the day. all sorts hang about these places and to say that they're not the nicest would be an understatement. the witches and wizards that spend their time down here will be the dregs of society, so watch your back or it might get cursed by some patron or another.

a visitor to the ministry of magic will come upon a broken-down red telephone box located on a dingy street which as shabby offices, a pub, and a wall covered in graffitti. when the telephone in the box is dialed, the welcome witch's voice answers, not from the phone but from the air. visitors must state their business, upon which a silver badge pops out with the visitor's name and purpose of visit.

the entrance to st. mungo's is concealed behind an abandoned red-brick london department store called purge and dowse, ltd. on a muggle street. unlike the leaky cauldron it can be seen by muggles, but none of them ever investigate. inside the entrance is the best place to come for any magical injuries you might aquire, one of the only places actually.

for all the people free to spend their nights out these are some of the places they can come. from high class joints to the back ends of town london does seem to attract a very wide variety of people wishing to build nightclubs on its streets, and there's never a lack of people frequenting them for drink, dancing and general fun once the day is over and the work is done. time for a kickback.

this is a monument of london the likes of which you are likely to see no where else. a part of history and still going strong it hangs over the thames and allows boats to cross, rising up on itself. a massive tourist hotspot.

the houses of parliament are the two most important buildings in muggle london, and were something to happen to them it would instantly strike chaos into the hearts of millions. inside these buildings sit the lords, and politicians that work to run the muggle world as smoothly as possible. they are not always successful but they do manage to give it a good bash.

the townhouses are for those people who can't quite afford the estates but still have a load of money to blow on their place of residence. these are usually all in a row, so you do have neighbours, but they are likely to also have at least five floors so the amount of rooms required by the rich can be had. tall and thin is the best way to get these houses big enough to fit everything they need.

the houses of the united kingdom are exactly the same as any other houses. they have a varying number of rooms, sizes and decorations and they are homes to many. families tend to live in these but there are also single people that buy these up, either as an investment, for doing up and then selling or as a future home for the family when they finally get around to having one in their lives.

the only completely wizarding town in england sits on the road down from hogwarts and is always buzzing with life. when covered with snow it looks like a picture postcard and even when it doesn't it's a pretty nice place to be. no one feels the need to hide here because there's just no one to hide from.
