(This was the only decent picture I could find.)

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 favorite 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 Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Acid Pops and so much more. Might want to watch out for the Cockroach Cluster though.

Zonko's Joke Shop
Another favorite 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.

Madame Puddifoot's
Another little cafe, run by Madame Puddifoot. Typically favored by couples due to it's cozy atmosphere.

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 Aberfoth'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.

[1st flying class]

[The september morning was beautiful, if not slightly chilly, without a single cloud in sight, so finally, prof. McGonagall gave him green light for the first flying lesson, which he had scheduled as the first thing in the morning, before proper lesson start. Nothing better to wake you up than a soar through the moisty morning sky. Well, other than coffee, but these folks were still too young for that. Most of the students were yawning in the early morning hour - and really Sano wasn't much of a morning person himself, but he had already had his cup of coffee and he had taken extra care to not got too late to sleep last night, so he put on his brightest smile, letting the morning air carry his voice, when he called out, stepping onto the grounds with a brisk step.]

Hello and good morning, everyone! [A few students startled at the sudden sound, but Sano didn't let that stop him.] I am Harada Sano and for as long as it takes, I am gonna be your flying teacher. Don't worry, I'll make sure your feet won't stay on the ground for too long. You can refer to me any way you like, as long as it's respectful, but if you call me professor, you'll see yourself flying through one of that hoops, faster than you can spell 'quidditch'. [He announced, nodding his head to the six quidditch hoops on the stadium, ranging high into the sky.] Now that's cleared, step forward and meet your new flying companion for the duration of the lesson.

[School Grounds, outside the castle]

[When he wasn't teaching, Sano liked to take walks outside the castle, that almost always took him to the lake. There he would either jog, or work out, a habit that his muggle father had drilled into him. "I don't care how good you are with charms, if you can't discipline yourself, you'll end up being lazy. Fitness comes with hard work, not with the wave of a wand," he'd claim and Sano found he agreed. Even though he had hated it as a kid, getting up early and working out, going to run even if the most impossible weather. But it was all thanks to that, that he had been crowned one of the best keepers in the kingdom, so he owed his old man a lot, as he begrudgingly admitted.

It was a sunny day, chilly, but not cold yet, just as you'd expect from a late september morning. He had received the invitation to the masquerade and eventually he'd have to buy a mask for himself, but that still had time. He could maybe talk to Ran, see if they could matcht heir outfits. It would be quite fun and give the kids an opportunity to tease the hell out of them.]

[Library]

[Eli had a habit of coming to school earlier than the year usually started. While she loved spending time with her family, sometimes it was really hard to concentrate on her studies back at home. Her little sister was still too young to attend so she kept bothering her about what it was like and to show her new spells she had learned. She didn't get much chances to be alone, so coming to the school was the best option when she wanted to finish her studies.

Well, extra studies. She had completed her summer assignments early on, but now she was working on something different. Once again, she might surprise a few of her classmates by knowing the spells taught to them already, but she wasn't doing it just for that. She was just too eager to learn... well, part of it still was the element of surprise.]

[Other]

[Meet Eli walking at the courtyard, eating in the dining halls or reading a book in the Ravenclaw common room - it's up to you!]

Around Hogwarts

Heya Newbies! Welcome to Hogwarts! Let me show you guys around.

[ Rika is giving a tour of the most important parts of Hogwarts. It's a little odd that there are so many older new students, and that so many are in the castle before classes officially begin.]

Electronic devices don't work here, so you can't take phone selfies.

[ She leads people through the most important parts of the castle. Throughout the tour, she brings up random historical facts. She also gives some suggestions on navigation.]

Try to allow extra time when getting to class. Sometimes the stairs move, when it's really inconvenient.

Grounds
Rika is out past curfew, with a can of beer.

DADA Classroom

[Lightning tended to have most of her meals in the classroom. She wasn't much of a social person. Since she was a teacher, she had the option of taking her meals wherever, and grading the assignments at the same time.

There's quite a stack this time. Currently she was going over the previous school years essays to see if they had been given a satisfactory grade. Not that she could change them now. It was mostly for ideas.

If a student or a fellow teacher wants to bug her, go for it. She might be willing to have a bit of a conversation. Or she might just use her cat, Loki, to chase you out of the room.]

The Lake

[Having grown up most of her life on island before this place, the lake reminds her of home. Even as a student, she would come here to get away from everyone. This was also a good place to fine tune her curriculum for the upcoming school year.

Feel free to bother her. You might get a head start on what's coming up.]

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]

Great Hall

[Usagi slumped down on the table a fork in her hand as she started to play with the food in front of her. She had to admit she still kind of missed home and figured she could perhaps figure out a way to send mail home and let everyone know how she is and how things are. After all she was pretty sure those she helped bring back to life were wondering where on earth she was right now. Especially her closest friends and her boyfriend.

She she put the fork down she was slowly starting to wonder is he was maybe looking for her or something. That brought a smile to the young ladies face when she thought about it. That would be something he would do after all. For those who might be wondering or even sitting at the table might notice the young girl just sitting there, deep in though and with food right in front of her. She didn't appear to be eating it any time soon.]

Hallways

[Holding on to a few letters, Usagi had brought it onto herself to figure out how to send mail to home. After all it seemed like the normal method might not be the actual case as they didn't have phones here. So it seemed like letters at least were her best bet. Seeing someone close by she was quick to run on over, waving her hand in the air and holding her letters in the other hand.]

Hello, can you tell me how to send letters? Because I haven't a clue.

Owlery

[Upon finally finding out to send letters, she had found her way towards the Owlery, a small smile upon her lips with each step she took and her mind wondering to the fact that soon her mail ws going to go to those she loved and cared about. When she took the finally steps and entered the place, she looked up in wonder at all the owls that lived here. There were so many it was hard to choose the few she would need to send out. But she somehow managed to pick at least five that she had planned on sending out. As she tied each one to the owls legs she made a wish that it would reach her friends before sending them off. However with the last letter she couldn't help but kiss it, eyes closed for a moment before tying it up. She was sendind this one to Mamo-chan and she hoped deep down in her heart that it would reach him.

Sending the owl off she couldn't help but watch the owl fly off, a small smile still on her face as it did.]

foodhoarder

[Where would you find Sasha in a giant magical castle like this? Of course, sitting at the Hufflepuff table in the Great Hall is a girl clearly enjoying the refillable food.

Perhaps too much though? Because now she has her had lying on her arms in front of her on the table. Kids, don't eat too much.]

Ugh.... Who knew you could eat too much...?

Arriving.

[Yuffie doesn't arrive with the other students and the way she arrives is peculiar. Her father has sent her trunk and things a head of her without telling her that he's done so. She's finally able to return o Wutai after everything that's happened and yet the moment she gets home her father pronounces it unsafe for the young princess. Of course there is screaming and protesting but then her father does something that she's never seen him do...

He throws her into a fire place with a handful of powder.

Yuffie comes rolling from a different fire place, dressed in her usual ninja get up. Dark purple eyes look up at the ceiling as she slowly exhales.]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?

[Her father hasn't mentioned anything about the wizarding world and somehow this is the safest place for her? Not to mention she doesn't even know anything about this place! As she blinks she begins to wipe the soot from her face.]

WHERE THE HELL AM I?!

Wandering around.

[She's still angry but a teacher has been nice enough to inform her of her fathers plans. Apparently he'd made all the arrangements months ago and failed to tell her about it. Even though she's older they are putting her in first year classes. The teacher suggested she asks an older student to tutor her because if she can pass some tests she can skip some classes. She then has all of her materia taken from her and is promptly told to change into the school uniform.

Her father probably told them about the peculiar round orbs. Luckily she is able to keep the little white one which is hidden in her boot.

With her palms on her hips she begins taking a look around and talking to herself. She doesn't care if the paintings or the status's hear her or if the ghosts give her strange looks. She's not having a very good day.]

Like hell I'm changing. [Though she doubts that they want a young girl walking around in short-shorts with her mid-drift exposed.]

How the hell am I suppose to get by here?! I was suppose to return home with parties and fanfares! WHAT THE HELL!!!

[She kicks the ground.]

Stupid school. Stupid father. Stupid magic!

Slythern Common Room.

[Yuffie is about 50% more calm than she was before. She walks into Slythern after being told that was where she was staying. Her arms cross over her chest looking at the cold basement common area. With everything else she just feels... trapped.

She sighs falling over on the couch before looking up at the ceiling. She doesn't even have a wand yet... the teacher said it's in with her things and that she should grab it before she takes a longer look around. Except she still doesn't want to change. She kicks her feet in the air and the looks at the fire.]

Oh just turn on already! She took my red materia and my wand is upstairs!

[Yes Yuffie, is yelling at the fireplace. Hopefully no one walks in on her.]

A. PLATFORM 9¾ ✩ open to all;
Cecil had never seen anything like it.

A powerful howling beast of hot iron and glossy bright color, bellowing great white clouds of steam as it pulled into the station, the machine rivaled the majesty and overwhelming presence of even the flagship of the Red Wings to her. That was no easy feat, to be sure. The airships at home had always made her heart swell with pride and excitement when they would near Castle Baron upon returning home from a long voyage across the Blue Planet. The fleet was a symbol of Baron's might and authority, in addition to being the world's greatest achievement in engineering.

This thing they called a locomotive though and everything she saw outside of this particular enchanted platform of the station did not fill her with wonder so much as fear, however. It made her feel small and even more out of place than she already knew she was, boarding for passage to this Hogwarts everyone kept talking about, reminding her of her vulnerability and powerlessness. The young knight couldn't understand the joy and anticipation that was thick in the air coming off the other students practically in visible waves, and the ceiling over their heads as they all streamed into the long wood and metal tube seemed uncomfortably cramped to her. She had never seen a train before, or automobiles, cars, or tall and cold towers made of glass and steel. This was not her world and that much was clear right away. Diagon Alley had actually been a place of solace with its familiar village atmosphere and she was sad to leave it behind.

At the very back of the train, Cecil holes away into one of the few empty passenger compartments and took the opportunity for a breather, sighing deeply and leaning her head back against the cushioned seat. She closes her eyes and tries to wonder why on earth anyone would send a newly pledged dark knight to a school for mages.

B. HUFFLEPUFF BASEMENT ✩ open to all hufflepuff;
As much as Cecil knew she didn't belong in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, settling in finally was at least much easier than she expected it to be. The school operated out of a castle, which was of course a setting that she was very much acquainted with, and most details of daily life didn't shock or perplex her, right down to the little red envelopes that some students got from their parents, presumably, that would scream a blue streak of scolding at the poor recipient. The boat ride over to the castle and the sorting ceremony had been fascinating, albeit, and the magic of the Great Hall impressive, but Cecil found it all comforting and wondrous-- quite different from the trip over on the Hogwarts Express.

She couldn't even find a single thing about her house so far that made her feel discontent. Her fellow Hufflepuffs were warm and friendly, welcoming and protective, much like the basement they called their common room. The knight is curled up by the fire on one of the overly squashy yellow sofas, resting her chin on her hands where they are folded over the arm of the couch. In her lap snoozes the tiny black and white kitten that was foisted off on her while she was gathering school supplies in Diagon Alley, but Cecil is looking up through the rounded windows at the starry night sky and the single solitary moon hanging low, wondering what everyone in Baron is doing right now and if they've begun to wonder in turn where she is.

C. HOGWARTS CASTLE & GROUNDS, AFTER CURFEW ✩ open to all;
It isn't that Cecil doesn't like her new home away from home. All things considered, she's surprisingly happy to be there, if such an incident was truly unavoidable. This doesn't change, though, that she shouldn't be here and there are still things she has to do in Baron. Kain and Rose, no doubt, must be worried and the Queen, too, beginning to tire probably of her absence. There is training to do, and lessons to be taught in leadership and the principles of flight. She might be young still in many people's opinions, but she chose her future a long time ago and she is still adamant to walk that path she set out on as a small child.

Magic isn't her realm and it never has been. And that's why she's stalking the halls and grounds of Hogwarts far past curfew tonight, hoping to learn all she can about the place and determined to find some knowledge useful in her quest to find a way back home.

DO NOT POST HERE!

This is here just as a resource.

evanesko

It doesn't matter what you were doing before you wake up here, how you managed to get here at all, or where you arrived at. All that mattered now was that you're suddenly in a new location and people are so insistent that you're a wizard. Whether or not that sinks in just yet, you may as well go through the motions and humor whomever -- or whatever -- brought you here.

Here are a few prompts to get you started, but there's no requirement to use any of the given prompts. If you feel that you would like to use something besides the prompts that are given, you're more than welcome to do so.

Also, there's this nifty little post to introduce who you are to the others out of character, so don't forget to check it out!

Prompts

Prompt A; Okay so maybe being dropped off in a bustling street in front of some old, broken down looking building isn't the best way to start your day, but inside there seems to be a number of curious customers. Given the state of the building, this place seems pretty busy otherwise. The Leaky Cauldron huh...? Guess there's no time to ponder where that is, because the man behind the bar seems particularly interested in you. Soon enough, he's leading you to a location. Great, maybe some answers... until you come to a brick wall...

Great. What are you supposed to do at a brick wall? Surprise! After a few taps on the bricks, there's suddenly a pathway opening up and then... another street? What's going on?

Prompt B; Well now that you've been taken to a place called "Diagon Alley", you seem to be left there by the man who was supposedly going to help you out. If you're lucky enough, a tall man with a bushy beard might happen to come to the rescue. All this talk about being a witch/wizard.... Are these people out of their minds? Clearly they don't think they are, because he'll happily help you find your school supplies and books.

Or maybe you decided to wonder around by yourself and check out the shops after figuring things out from the other people on the street going through the same process. Just be careful not to carelessly use up all of the money that's saved in your vaults in Gringotts though.

Prompt C; Nine and Three Quarters..... Supposedly you need to get to Platform Nine and Three Quarters, but everyone is telling you that it doesn't exist. How can it not exist when so many people were looking for it? Have people been playing with you for a fool? Well, that seems to be the case until you notice people running into a.... Were they running into a brick wall? That's completely stupid but yet... they disappeared? Apparently you must be stupid for trying it, but somehow or another it works out and... There's more people with trunks and supplies like you have. More importantly as a train that wasn't there before.

Hogwarts Express.

Once on the train, finding a place to sit might be a pain depending on how long it takes for you to find it, but why not make a few new friends and maybe try to find out just what's going on? Meanwhile there is a trolley going around for anyone who wants a snack.

Prompt D; Boats.... Why did it have to be boats? And didn't you refuse to put on those robes that you were required to buy? Why has your clothing disappeared in substitution for these robes? Just don't rock the boat. Pretty sure the others riding with you won't be happy if you tip it over. At least land seems to be coming closer along with a giant castle.

Prompt E; After being sorted into your houses and sitting at your respective tables, you'll be given more freedom to move about and talk than you have been this entire time. Use that time to figure out if anyone else was in the same predicament as you are. Surely you can't be the only one confused. And this large spread of food that never seems to run out is a bit too tempting to decline.

Or maybe you've already returned to your new dorm common rooms? Take your pick.

Prompt F; Make your own prompt! If you'd rather do something else, feel free to do so!

Just please put your Character's Name in the the subject line! Happy wizardry!
