It is an idyllic little village that may have grown a touch over the years but it still retains its cozy, homely atmosphere. At first glance, it is almost possible to miss that it is a wizarding village but a good look at the signs and in the shop windows soon gives away its true nature. In the time since the battle of Hogwarts, many of the shops and pubs of Hogsmeade have changed hands at least once.<br><br><em>Shops:</em> Hogsmeade is home to many shops including Ceridwen's Cauldrons (Cauldrons), Dervish and Banges (Instruments), Dogweed and Deathcap (Herbology), Dominic Maestro's Music Shop (Music), Gladrag's Wizardwear (Clothes), Honeyduke's (Sweetshop), J. Pippin's Potions (Potions), Ollivander's (Wands), Scrivenshaft's Quills (Quills &amp; Parchment), Sprintwitches Sporting Needs (Sports/Broomsticks), Tomes and Scrolls (Books), The Magic Neep (Fruit &amp; Veg), Zonko's Joke Shop (Joke items) and Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop (Afternoon tea &amp; sandwiches).<br><br><em>The Three Broomsticks:</em> The Three Broomsticks is a popular pub in Hogsmeade well known for its butterbeer. It is always warm, often crowded and usually a touch smoky from the crackling fireplace but always well-kept and welcoming.<br><br><em>The Hog's Head:</em> The Hog's Head is a slightly disreputable pub in Hogsmeade known for its budget prices and a crowd that can be called 'interesting' if being polite and 'rowdy' if being honest. It is still a reasonably safe place, if a little dingy. <br><br><em>Hogsmeade Post Office:</em> If news needs sending fast then the Hogsmeade post office can get letter or parcel there in just a moment.<br><br><em>Hogsmeade Train Station:</em> Hogsmeade Train Station is where the Hogwarts Express pulls in several times a year to bring students to and from Hogwarts.<br><br><em>The Shrieking Shack:</em> This half-collapsed, dilapidated shack on the outskirts of Hogsmeade has been the site of many dark moments throughout its history. Many say that it is cursed and that if you wander too close you can hear it shrieking.</span></span><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Header:</strong></span><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Header</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=5]https://i.pinimg.com/280x280_RS/96/0a/87/960a879b2c1ce9aa839e329cec9cd4eb.jpg[/img][/floatleft][b]Character Name:[/b] [url=http://CS LINK]NAME[/url]<br>[b]Date | Time:[/b] (Make sure within IC month)<br>[b]Location:[/b]<br>[b]Wearing:[/b]<br>[b]Content:[/b] (Especially use for graphic/violent content)<br>[b]Tagging:[/b] (Please tag appropriately and use open/closed if needed)<br>[hr]<br></code></pre></div></div><br><hr><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Thread Links</strong></span></span></span></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span class="bbc_u"><em>OOC</em></span></span></span></div><div align="center">Recruitment (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=338916.0)<br>GM Announcements (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339012.0)<br>Setting Information (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=338991.0)<br>Game Information (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339118.0)<br>Character Sheets (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339010.0)<br>OOC (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339011.0)<br>Wanted Ads (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339014.0)<br>Scene Trackers (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339015.0)</div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: times new roman;" class="bbc_font"><span class="bbc_u"><em>IC</em></span></span></span></div><div align="center">Gryffindor Common Room &amp; Dorms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339080.0)<br>Hufflepuff Common Room &amp; Dorms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339081.0)<br>Ravenclaw Common Room &amp; Dorms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339082.0)<br>Slytherin Common Room &amp; Dorms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339083.0)<br>Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transmogrification &amp; Charms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339099.0)<br>Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology &amp; Potions (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339100.0)<br>Astronomy, Divination &amp; Arithmancy (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339101.0)<br>Ancient Runes, History of Magic &amp; Muggle Studies (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339102.0)<br>Staff Offices and Rooms (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339089.0)<br>Great Hall (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339086.0)<br>Library &amp; Hospital Ward (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339085.0)<br>Hogwarts Castle (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339103.0)<br>Hogwarts Grounds (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339104.0)<br>Quidditch Pitch (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339105.0)<br>Hogsmeade Village (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339107.0)<br>Hogwarts Express (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339106.0)<br>Outside Hogwarts (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339108.0)<br>Social Media (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339113.0)<br>History (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339109.0)<br>Adult Scenes (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=339110.0)<br></div>

All post between yourselves.<br></div><br><div align="center">(https://i.pinimg.com/474x/a8/ad/07/a8ad079a8ff1c52743986c364d156b7d.jpg)(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/59/f2/3b/59f23b28e51ab4dbdd2fabef86cb2283.png)</div><br>As is tradition the first-year students traveling to Hogwarts would be brought from Hogsmeade to the shore of Black Lake, shown the small wooden boats with their glimmering lanterns. Their belongings would be brought along with the older students, leaving them free to row in pairs across the deep, dark water in the cool, gentle autumn air. <br><br>Perhaps it was wizardry, perhaps nature or perhaps some twist of fate but each year a slight mist would part as the students reached midway across the lake and pale moonlight would perfectly illuminate the striking, towering figure of the castle up ahead. It truly was breathtaking even under normal circumstances but on first viewing, lit up so perfectly and contrast against the night sky, Hogwarts really did live up to the rumors and tales told among the wizarding community.<br><br>It was a short row, all told, but it tended to feel longer as the students were often lost for words looking up at their new school. The quiet, still night air certainly did nothing to take away from the spectacle. Before long they would land against the other side of the lake, pulling the boats ashore before completing the last leg of the journey on foot to meet up with the older students in their carriages.<br><br><hr><br>For those who had already made that boat trip waited the carriages. To almost all of the students there they would be strange things. Beautifu, ornate wooden carriages that appeared to be pulled by nothing. And yet a gap was left between each as though there were a pair of large horses ready to pull them toward the castle. The reigns were held up, as though connected to some being that was simply not visible. Up close one could even hear the gentle sounds of hooves against the dirt and the heavy breathing of a large animal.<br><br>The experience often unsettled second years but most who were older were used to it by now and all too happy to hop into their carriages in groups of four and set off toward Hogwarts. The trip was reasonably quick, usually a touch slower than the row across the lake as the route was far less direct. <br><br>Of course, the experience was very different for a small select few. The carriages were pulled by the rare, unsettling but elegant Thestrals. Dark-skinned winged horses with skeletally thin bodies and somewhat reptilian features. What was unique about the Thestrals beyond that appearance, though, was their invisibility. The creatures were only visible to those who had witnessed death. Not just any, either, but one up close and personal enough to force the witnesser to truly come to terms with that concept. It was a rarity, particularly among the young, and so to the bulk of those attending there was nothing at all pulling the carriages and for one reason or another many would prefer to think of it that way. For those who can see them, unfortunately, Thestrals tend to serve as an inevitable reminder of exactly what dark day led them to be able to see them.<br><br><hr><br>At the far end of the journey, the students would be grouped together, corralled a little by teachers to get them to the great hall for the feast while their luggage was brought in by staff using magical means. Hogwarts up close was no less remarkable, a towering building that jutted up into the night sky. On the exterior, it was in some ways imposing but those who crossed the threshold would soon see the glimmering warmth of candlelight and feel the very real sense of community flooding in the air as so many good friends chattered away.

He held a rag in one hand which was pressed against the wood grain of the bar. It was quickly moving into evening and the pub's proprietor knew that the students at Hogwarts were returning to the school. Some not returning, but arriving for their first time. <br><br>Finn fondly remembered his invitation to enroll in Hogwarts. From a muggle family, Finn had never experienced the wizarding world until that invitation was received. His family found the wonders of the world to be amazing. Leaving his family's pub in Dublin, Finn journeyed to the school and was introduced to magic. While never having been around magic, it took him some time to get the hang of it. In Hufflepuff that was accepted without question. His specialties focused him primarily in non-aggressive magic including potions, herbology, and the like. <br><br>At Hogwarts he also met Ivan. Ivan was in many ways the opposite of Finn. Ivan was well polished, proper, and at times very dark. He was a powerful wizard who mastered transfiguration and now served as the Transfiguration Professor and Head of Ravenclaw. Finn was a strong extrovert and often was the life of the party. Ivan tended to be quiet, introspective and cerebral. <br><br>But somehow they hit it off. Ivan was assigned to tutor Finn and at their first meeting sparks flew. Both literally - Finn botched a spell - and figuratively - their opposite chemistry was perfect. Years later the two were committed to one another even through their differences.<br><br>Finn turned his attention back to the bar, "aguamenti!" <br><br>Water emerged from his wand to wash away the soap. Finn wiped the water up with his towel, tucked it into his waist. There would be much celebration with the new school years and The Three Broomsticks was ready.<br><br>

Those that followed the fine line along the edge of night and day had a better time. To her there was nothing to lose if you cared less what others thought of you. If you locked your heart in an iron chest and tossed it at the center of the Blake Lake for the rumored mystic squid. What good had it ever done for her anyway. It would serve to make her take the steeper risks and make the stimulation worth it. <br><br>The first day of classes were over, it was time to kick back and celebrate the first weekend of the school year. That would be what she did as she slide herself comfortably in a chair at the bar. Fixed the front of her light blue blazer before leaning in closer in order to speak her choice of beverage - A sour apple martini. The color had a light hint of green in it from the olives an indication of the real her underneath all that blue as she waited.<br><br>Who she was waiting for was not much of a surprise to her. Though what surprised her most that she was associating herself with two lions, was there something wrong with her? Not at all. They were the house of the brave and so she felt like the little things she'd enjoy might be enjoyed by them herself. Yet, it wasn't a pretty boy she was waiting on but a pretty girl. A lioness that could handle a excitable snake such as herself. She was the type of creature that could keep up with her and allow her to be herself freely and unapologetically. For that Nat appreciated her friendship even if it was only on the surface. It was hard for Natalya to care when she had no idea what that meant. She cared for only one person, herself. Didn't mean she couldn't have a little fun with someone else. <br><br><div style="text-align: right;"><em>Those with dark souls have nothing but dark dream.</em></div>

She had been heading towards the infamous Hogs Head pub determined to find a good time before the evening was out. Perhaps that was why she’d agreed to meet up with Natalya. A snake she knew would bite given half the chance. But Ava was a lioness and she was not so scared that it kept her from arriving at the pub at the agreed time.<br><br>As Ava stepped in a cold breeze whipped through the front space of the pub. Her hair whipped wildly around her as the light silhouetted her lush frame. A slow easy smile came to her lips as she walked confidently into the warm open space of the Hods Head. Glancing around Ava found it easy to spot her drinking buddy for the evening and fellow trouble in the making already sitting at the bar.<br><br>Walking up Ava slipped into the seat next to Natalya and waved down the bartender. “Whiskey top shelf, neat.” She said with a gentle nod. An appreciative smirk came to the bartender’s lips as he poured her the drink. “So have I missed anything yet or are we just getting started this evening?” She asked and glanced at Natalya as her glass was slid in front of her. “Thanks,” she said before sliding money across the counter, ‘Keep the change.” She waved her hand and turned her full attention to Natalya. “You look rather eye-catching this evening.” She complimented the woman with a playful smirk coming to her lips. “Like walking trouble.” Ava teased as her smirk grew into a broad smile before she brought her drink to her lips and took a deep drink from it.
