Just down the road from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry lies the village of Hogsmede, known for being the only non-muggle settlement in Britain. The town is known for its shops, which are frequented by the students of Hogwarts during the year, as well as for establishments like The Three Broomsticks. 

Notable locations include:

The Three Broomsticks
Run by Madame Rosmerta, The Three Broomsticks is the perfect place to warm up on a cold day. It's a pleasant little bar known for it's Butterbeer.

Honeyduke's  Sweet Shop
A favourite of Hogwarts students, Honeydukes is a purveyor of a wide variety of sweets including it's world-famous chocolate, Fizzing Whizzbees, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Acid Pops and so much more. Might want to watch out for the Cockroach Cluster though.

Zonko's Joke Shop
Another favourite for the Hogwarts crowd, Zonko's is the best place to buy all your magical jokes and pranks. A perfect place to pick up dungbombs, Dr. Filibusters wet-start no heat fireworks, and if you're in the right mood, skiving snackboxes.
in honor of Valentine's Day, Zonko's is offering discounts on some love potion chocolates. Said chocolates may induce a day dreamy like state as you think about your true love, or have you suddenly spouting sonnets or poetry at random. 
*Zonko's proprietors take no responsibility of any resulting moments of extreme embarrassment that may come as a result of use.

Madame Puddifoot's 
Another little cafe, run by Madame Puddifoot. Typically favored by couples due to it's cozy atmosphere.
True to the season, Madame Puddifoot has taken the opportunity to decorate. The air is filled with confetti and sparkles in red and pink and cute little cherubs hover in the air. 

The Shrieking Shack
Rumoured to be one of the most haunted locations in Britain, so much so that the locals avoid it. While it's stood silent for years, it's still worth seeing.

The Hog's Head
Run by Aberforth Dumbledore, The Hog's Head is another pub that has been known to attract a less than reputable clientele. However, it's something of a tourist spot as well, due to it being the starting point for Dumbledore's Army and the role the pub played in the Battle of Hogwarts, much to Aberforth's chagrin.

The Post Office
Need to send an owl? The post office has you covered with owls of all shapes and sizes to send anywhere in the world.

LAKESIDE, SUNSET

[ Adela isn't the most social person in the world, but even so it's unusual to see her just hanging around outside without doing a thing. She doesn't even bother looking up at the owl hooting at her, nuzzling into her while perched on her shoulder. At least they're in the shade, and by that point the sun's low enough over the horizen to leave her and her owl completely in shadow.

It seems like she's reading a set of letters over and over again, becoming more and more unfocused before she just crumples them in her hand and slumps forward. Likely, whatever is going on, it's getting to her if she's not even bothering to pet her clearly distressed owl to calm it down.

It's not like she can exactly ignore her owl suddenly taking off and flapping around her head though. ]


Gah! Saggia, stop it!

[ Once Saggia lands on the ground again she coos quietly, earning a sigh from Adela before the girl reaches to finally smooth down her owl's frazzled feathers. Great, she's making Saggia worry over her sulking... It's not like she can really do anything about it, though. Not really. ]

[A - On the Quidditch Pitch]

[Roxas should be doing his homework. But he's not. Instead he's flying around on his broom. There isn't really a point to it. It's not practice or anything, just a chance to clear his head. It's remarkably freeing from the heavy load of knowledge that's been weighing him down since the start of term.

Flying up high he turns sharply in to a steep dive before pulling up before he hit the ground. If he was a seeker, that would be a pretty good Wronski Feint. He ascends again with a whoop!]

[B - in the Library]

[Not doing his homework had finally caught up with him and now Roxas is scrambling. And there's still so much to do. An essay for charms, practice for transfiguration, reading for Defense against the Dark Arts? It's almost too much. He stares intently at his parchment, before finally letting out a loud sigh and pushing away from the table to head into the stacks.

He thinks he knows what book he's looking for, but of course it's on a shelf he can't reach.]

This is stupid.

[Said with his head against the bookcase]

Outside
[Anna loves being outside. Being outside in a strange new place should be more daunting to her, but hey, she's been on adventures before. Yes, she should go look for her sister. Yes, she should be much more worried about being here. Yes, maybe she should stop and think.

She won't. Not if she can use magic just like her big sister now! Which will have to wait as she explores around the castle.]


This place is way bigger than the castle in Arendelle!


Great Hall
[Hunger eventually claim it's next victim. Anna wants to know just what kind of things this place had to offer if she had to stay here for a while.

She sure isn't disappointed by the fare. Everything she loved, plus more, showed up as if it was conjured up by, well, magic. Anna will be trying everything on the table in a very un-lady like manner. She wasn't a princess here, right?]


Hufflepuff Dorm
[After a rough day, Anna's mood is finally wearing down. She's exhausted. And it shows. Getting lost on the way to the dorms doesn't help her case any. All she wants is to find her room and sleep.

She needs help]
