The wizarding world has all their rules to follow and if you don't read them, you may find yourself in Azkaban. Make sure to read the rules. You will find not only the rules, but the plot, any temporary bans, or miscellaneous info posted by the staff.

If there's anything we need to call to your attention, you'll find it here. Announcements and Updates will be posted often so make sure you check back and don't forget about this board.

After you have read the rules, plot, and all there is to know, come to this board to create a character. You may apply for your own, original character, or if you're brave, apply for a canon character. Make them bitchy, make them sweet. So which house will it be?

You can come here before getting accepted to post for a while. There are games, introductions, notes of absence, off-topic information, questions, suggestions, and graphic threads. Let your creativity run wild here.

The staff have their discussions in here. There's nothing really for the rest of us to see, seeing as it's pretty much invisible to those that aren't staff members of Malicious Intent.

Advertise your site here, or try and affiliate with us. Only rule we have is that you must have a place for us to advertise or affiliate back. So come one, come all, and show off your fabulous sites.

Anything that is dead or inactive such as characters or threads are placed here. Completed threads can also be found here. Come here to get inspired by others that have written posts.

This is where an administrator will move your application once it has been accepted, thus making it a character biography instead of an application.

Enemies? Friends? Lovers? Come here to find romance, or even find out who your next croonies are so that you can order them around like minions. Find out who you'll be dueling next as an enemy. Make sure it's okay with your fellow players though.

Got something to say that the whole school doesn't need to know? Well, then just write it in a journal. All things written in journals are OOC knowledge only, unless implicated otherwise.

Named because of the way it looks, the Black Lake is a popular hang-out for students who just want to spend time alone. It's cold, deep, and probably the only lake you will find close by. It is inhabited by the most fascinating creatures such as merpeople. It is also home to the infamous, Giant Squid.

The quidditch pitch is home to any quidditch players. Games and practices often take place here during the school year. If that just isn't for you, then there are plenty of House stands surrounding the pitch for you to root for your favorite team.

Care of Magical Creatures is taught by Professor Kael himself. Out here is where most of the animals are kept, close by to the Forbidden Forest. It's fun to be out here in the light, but please don't tease the animals, Draco. You might get yourself killed so pay close attention.

Professor Sprout does a good job teaching herbology out here. If not in class, a lot of students come down here to inspect and learn more about the plants. If you're an aspiring Herbologist, then this is the place for you to be. It's pretty nice in here, but careful of some of the plants.

This isn't the cleanest place in the world, considering it is home to over thousands of owls. Your owl can usually be found here. Come here to visit them, or simply send a letter home to your mummy and daddy. Or even better, send a Howler to someone you don't like to embarrass them.

The courtyards are a nice place for you to relax and have fun with your friends when you're not in classes. It's got a nice, scenic view. There are plenty of stone tables with chairs placed around here for you to sit on. Come here to practice magic, read, or if you're more adventurous, play that dirty game of spin-the-bottle with your fellow housemates.

Well, the name says it all. FORBIDDEN. But after all these years, who listens to Argus Filch? Students still venture into the forest and it is safer during the daytime. However, at night, you should be sensible enough to not go in when night falls. It contains unforgiving creatures and it is said that quite a few death eaters reside here.

The ground floor of Hogwarts is where you'll find everything from the Entrance Hall to the Hufflepuff Common room. The kitchens can be accessed secretly, and the library is open almost all the time. Make sure you know the password to get into the Hufflepuff Common Room.

Transfiguration Class and Arithmancy can be found on this floor. Not only does it house many classes, but also the famed Hospital Wing. Come here when you get sick, or hurt, but don't bother faking. Nurse Pomfrey can tell the difference, believe me.

The top most floor of Hogwarts is where you will find the towers. From the Headmaster's Office, to the famed Gryffindor Common Room. The prefect's bathroom can also be found here as well as the Astronomy Tower, Owlery, and Room of Requirement.

Below Hogwarts is where you can find the Potions class. Not only that, but here is where most Slytherins can be found. Careful down here. This is the detention hall, dungeon number five, and it is just beneath the lake.

Hogsmeade has plenty of shops. If you come here during the school year, you are likely to find a lot of Hogwarts students on the weekends. They tend to visit a lot. During Valentines Day, plenty of students are found in Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop.

Mostly inhabited by adults, the pubs are a great place to clear your mind and drink away the pain or stress or just drink for the fun of it. You can find students here from time to time, but not that often.

At the very center of Hogsmeade lays a circular area accented by the statue of Hengist of Woodcroft in the very middle. This is the best meeting spot for friends and peers if you want to avoid the busy goings of the local pubs and shops. However, be warned, birds also like to linger and fly about here.

Diagon Alley is for all wizarding necessities. Before school starts, plenty of eager students and parents are here running around for school supplies. It's fun to see your fellow schoolmates here shopping as well and a great way to make some friends if it's your first year.

Knockturn alley is one of the darkest alleys and villages. A lot of Death Eaters are rumored to be roaming here and taking care of "business." Be Careful about coming here. Borgin & Burkes can be found here and it's where a lot of Death Eaters come here to exchange dark artifacts.

Here are the homes of almost any wizarding family. You will find the Malfoy Manor, The Burrow, Number Twelve: Grimmauld Place, The Lovegood House, and Godric's Hollow. Make sure you have an invite to these houses.

For anything Madame Pomfrey can't fix or mend, students and adults are sent here when injured. There are many levels and you can sometimes visit a friend or relative if they are here, but it depends on how severe their injury is.
