Guest Relations (5 sub-boards) Whether you're a guest looking to affiliate, advertise, or ask a question, this would be the place to go! Just be sure that you check the master list and read the rules if you are advertising! Thank you!
Sitewide Plot Inside, you will find the site plot plus discussion threads for each plot so everyone involved can discuss things and get progression and other things figured out.
Interaction (3 sub-boards) Are you looking for the board for the Daily Prophet? or perhaps the diaries and journals? How about a place for letters? All of these boards have been moved here.
Time Between This place is primarily to tie things off between SF and LR. However, if you were never part of the originals and would like to establish a past relationship with one of the other characters on here and play out some time at Hogwarts, you may feel free. Just be sure to time stamp your posts so people don't have your character in sixth and their character in it as well when it should be yours in sixth and theirs not even yet in Hogwarts.
Twilight Zone (1 sub-board) Do you have muse itching for something that you don't want to go down in the actual canon of things? or perhaps something that can't go down in the actual canon of the site? Maybe you want to play your favorite HP canon randomly just for fun? This board is just for that: random fun. You can do anything within the realm of the rules here, and best yet? You aren't required an actual bio to play a character here.
London (2 sub-boards) There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it, and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit, and it goes by the name of London. At the top of the hole sit the privileged few making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo, turning beauty to filth and greed... (Sweeney Todd)
Pubs and Clubs (2 sub-boards) London and its surrounding areas have a variety of pubs, ranging from the Leaky Cauldron to other, more savory places. Of course, one always risks getting into the middle of a fight between football hooligans when going inside some, but many seem not to mind.
Puxley Manor (4 sub-boards) The fact that Trevor uses such a former tourist attraction as his base of operations shows his boldness. He has nothing to hide, so why not? Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't a wide variety of defensive spells around the place to keep out muggles and the unwanted rebellion as well as spells to keep the slaves in. Can't be risking an attack or any escapes, can we?
Tutaminis Manor (5 sub-boards) Originally serving as an interim school while Hogwarts was closed, this beautifully designed manor now serves as a safe haven for fugitives from Trevor Williams as well as the headquarters for the new Order of the Phoenix. It is heavily defended, and its location at any point can change as the whole manor is capable of moving.
Godric's Hollow While a quaint muggle village, Godric's Hollow is rich in wizarding history stemming from being the birth place of none other than Godric Gryffindor as well as Voldemort's failed attempt to kill famed wizard Harry Potter.

Wizarding World
Hogsmeade (6 sub-boards) Students still frequent here on various weekends. After all, those who attend have no need to fear a raid, and the Death Eaters have had this small village under their control for some time now.
Diagon Alley (1 sub-board) Diagon Alley, once in ruins, has been reopened to the public on May 13, 2011. Some new and returning storefronts offer a little something for every witch or wizard's needs!
Knockturn Alley (1 sub-board) Knockturn Alley is now all that is left near Diagon Alley. Its tailoring to dark wizards has yet to cease, and it has slowly begun to take over some of the buildings near it from the former Diagon Alley that are still fairly well intact.
Azkaban The famous wizarding prison once known for holding well-known Death Eaters now holds prisoners of war as they are questioned, tortured, beaten, and worse. Dementors still hang around, but they are not as bridled as before the takeover.
Wizarding Housing (12 sub-boards) The homes of the wizarding world range from the eccentric, even absurd, to the more classic and traditional homes. Many are expanded internally by magic to make up for what they lack in size naturally, and many more now have defensive spells up in hopes of protecting themselves from Trevor and his Death Eaters.
City of Shadows (5 sub-boards) A maze of sewers, traps, blind labyrinths, darkness, and dangerous beings protects a secret path from the sewer entry in the alleyway behind the Duck and Dagger to the entrance of the A massive stone city lays beneath the sewer system. Designed to look like a wheel, each of the four pie shaped districts points to the hub, where things are indeed centered. Carved above each gate is the phrase, "Abundans Cautela Non Nocet," (abundant caution does no harm) which is the motto of the city. The lighting of the cavern is provided by large, blue, bioluminescent mushrooms.
Other Magic is a universal occurrence, not a localized incident. Within are various magical communities around the globe from Spain to Japan to the Americas.
Grounds (6 sub-boards) The grounds of Hogwarts hold many beautiful and intriguing points of interest, some of which students avoid like the plague and others of which they flock to to spend time with friends or spend some time alone to study, draw, or think. The lake spans a vast amount of space, hosting the giant squid, which peeks at tentacle out here or there, earning the awe of the first years; contrastingly, many students view the Forbidden Forest with a sense of foreboding and sometimes use it as a place to make their best mates enter on dares.
Foyer (1 sub-board) The huge doors of the castle open into the vast foyer. Straight ahead is a grand staircase that leads to the first floor with staircases leading down to the Slytherin commons or the kitchen and Hufflepuff commons. On the right as one enters he will find the Great Hall and to the left is a corridor few ever use.
Corridors - 1 Viewing (3 sub-boards) The corridors of Hogwarts aren't always littered with students, but they are the choice places to host any prank. Peeves the Poltergeist remains a constant threat, and the ghosts of Hogwarts can be met in many places.
Classrooms && Offices (11 sub-boards) While many classrooms certainly are empty, there are still quite a few in use whether for class or some choice extracurricular activities for some of the more daring students. Many professors maintain their offices near their classrooms, but at times they are on entirely different floors.
Common Rooms (5 sub-boards) The student commons are located throughout the large castle. The decor varies based on the house each is for. Gryffindors and Ravenclaws each dwell in towers on the seventh floors, whereas the Hufflepuffs and the Slytherins both dwell in separate wings of the dungeons. Professors, on the other hand, dwell in a corridor on the main floor.

3/23/2012 - Happy birthday, LR! Four years is longer than most RPGs can say for themselves these days. You should all be proud. Thank you so much to each and every one of you for making LR what it is today! ~Jen 2/10/2012 - If you are using any of the older skins, you may find yourself with images not displaying. This is because Imageshack recently decided users can only have up to 500 pics in their account. Due to this, I have been going through and saving things to my HD and deleting them from Imageshack. I will be rehosting on Photobucket and fixing broken links in the next few days. ~Jen 1/21/2012 - We're two months and one day from our four year anniversary today. How exciting! ^^ Anyway, I just wanted to know if there was anything you guys would like to do to celebrate.

Thank you! ~ Jen 6/1/2011 - In honor of Slytherin winning house of the month, the skin has been changed. Please note it is still under construction, so there will be little glitches here and there. If you notice anything off, feel free to PM me! There is a new PM system in place, but I'm not sure how it will work, so it may end up returning to the old one.
Also, a huge congratulations to Berenice Pangbourn for winning female of the month and Urania and Milo for winning couple of the month. ~ Jen 5/29/2011 - Time has moved forward to include the entire month of September. Also, please don't forget to vote in the "of the months," if you haven't done so already! Keep up the great posting! ~Jen 5/8/2011 - Congrats to all the April winners for the "of the month" slots!

I hope everything's going well for everyone, and once again, congratulations to Ri and Lizy! ~Jen
2/20/2011 - Three quick things: 1) There is an activity check going on through March 5th. Please reply! 2) The of the month nominations are up! Please nominate whomever you'd like by the end of the week so polls can go up soon. The sooner I get everyone's nomination, the sooner the polls go up. 3) Staff members, there is something you need to read and acknowledge. Please make sure you do so. Thank you and happy posting! ~Jen 2/8/2011 - If you've set up auto log-in and notice your member groups don't match or even blend in with your current skin, don't freak out! There is simply a new default skin, named "Prophecy," that has been put up. I wish it was possible to have different member group colors for each skin, but it's not, so unfortunately, I can do nothing about that. As with any other time I've put up a new default skin, if you notice anything that needs to be changed because it's off or hard to read, let me know!
Also of note: I would credit the original picture (pre-blend), but I found it via Google and haven't an idea who to credit! Whoever made the original did a wonderful job. ~Jen 1/26/2011 - The first announcement of this new year! We're finally into the year of the site, lol. Never mind the site's still half a year or more ahead! But anywho, I just wanted to bring your attention to the fact it's now August on the site. This means if you want to take a look at the School Events thread and take a leap onto the train ride, etc., you may. Also, take a look in the announcements board for a few more things! ~Jen
