Welcome to a place where magic is a way of life. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has always been the most magical place in the wizarding world. No one quite knows what it is about the place, the spells and enchantments of it or something more. Maybe it is something deeper than anyone could ever begin to imagine, something even more than meets the eye. Hogwarts has also always been a place of mystery. From its secret passages, secret rooms, and magical beings that lie in the Forbidden Forest. Not to mention the fact that the forest is, in fact, forbidden.
The students are intrigued by everything Hogwarts has to offer, which would explain its popularity and thousands of students. Hogwarts has plenty of magical classes to offer as well as a Muggle Studies class for learning about all things Muggle. Every student has a favorite class as well as a least favorite class. The same goes for favorite Professors and the most loathed Professors.
Then there is the seemingly never-ending rivalry between the house of the cunning, Slytherin, and the house of the bold, Gryffindor. From jinxes and hexes thrown at one another in the corridors, duels held in the Dueling Chamber, and over-competitive Quidditch practices and games, numerous students are ending up in the Hospital Wing.
However, things seem to be calming down a bit. Some Gryffindors and Slytherins are actually managing to hold a civil conversation without hexing one another, but the weirdest things just seem to happen, Gryffindor’s turning against each other, Slytherins arguing among themselves, Hufflepuffs sneaking Dungbombs at Mrs Norris and Ravenclaws getting themselves into detention almost everyday. Now why was that? Was this one of those Marauder’s tricks? What exactly is happening in Hogwarts, the most prestigious school in all of Europe? Or has this something to do with the rise of the Dark Lord?
