so this is what doom looks like.
The weather today is slightly sarcastic, with a good chance of a) indifference, or b) disinterest in what they say.
Empty faces, blank stares, vague frowns, a frustrating common reluctance to believe; the stark symptoms of a diseased society. No one knows just how bad the world has it, and they won't know 'till it's too late.
Lord Voldemort is in the middle of his surge to power, and he's meeting strangely little resistance. Where have all the people gone? Well, you can't block a blow if you don't know it's coming.
oh, and you should know

the daily prophet
the leading newspaper in wizarding britain, it's widely read and believed, despite its reputation for telling half-truths or downright lies - read between the lines, people! the ministry has a forceful hand in it, so any biases because of current leadership are to be expected.

the hogwarts anonymous (newspaper)
shh — hide it! a professor's coming, and you know they don't know about this paper. the HA is an unofficial, completely student-run periodical. it contains open party dates, gossip and occasionally more... interesting matters, and it's always to be kept on the down-low. the issues are charmed to appear like the daily prophet to anyone over eighteen, so it's incredibly hard for anyone to prove that it really exists.

whether you're retiring to the warm hufflepuff common room — or the contrastly colder slytherin one — at the end of a trying day, reporting to potions class, or sneaking off to nick some food from the kitchens, you won't want to get lost in the labyrinth of winding underground tunnels.

because hogwarts castle is just that, a castle (and a rather imposing one at that), it's fully decked out in towers with turrets. unless you've got a reason, you won't appreciate the long trek up here, but the view from so high up is terrific.

the front gates
even after you maneuver past the statues of winged boars and leering stone gargoyles which sit near the front gates, you've still got a ways to go on a long, winding cobblestone path - or across the lake, if you prefer - before you arrive at the actual castle.

the grassy lawns
when the weather is nice, it seems the entire student body convenes outside, because the choice spots under the fluffy, magnicently shady trees are always occupied by giggling schoolgirls or wry, smirking boys. the generously sized grounds are littered with lovely gardens, and the grassy lawns slope down to border the lake and the forbidden forest. be careful not to wander too close a certain violent tree.

the great lake
it's lovely during warmer days, when the giant squid propels itself lazily across the otherwise still surface of the water. other creatures live here too, like merfolk (way on the bottom) and grindylows, which you'll want to be wary of if you're one of the more daring and decide to go for a swim.

all sorts of creatures dwell in the forest, from man-sized spiders to pearly, shining unicorns. the forest is strictly off-limits to students, save for a few exceptions, because of the wild and dangerous creatures which reside within. only the gamekeeper, rubeus hagrid, seems to be able to enter without fear.

st. mungo's hospital
adapted from an abandoned department store st. mungo's was founded in the late 1500s or even early 1600s by mungo bonham. unlike some wizardly places st. mungo's is visible to muggles - however the sign on the front reads 'closed for refurbishment' to them and a dummy in the front window is actually a gatekeeper. to enter the hospital a wizard must talk to the dummy and then walk straight through the window.
