Default Battlements


High above overlooking the lake and a section of the grounds are the castle battlements. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the battlements where used to defend the school from Lord Voldemort and his allies. This is also where Sirius Black rode away on Buckbeak the hippogriff, but keep that hush hush. Though some damage remains, the battlements remain fairly intact and provide an opportune place to be when an enemy is approaching.

Though there hasn't been a full-blown battle at Hogwarts for many years, the battlements nonetheless provide a nice view from a high vantage point. More often than not, the Giant Squid can be seen bathing himself in the sunlight; thestrals (if you can see them) fly above the trees at the edge of the lake; and if you look closely you'll be able to follow the road that leads to the Entrance Gates. If you're feeling up to climbing the tight spiral staircase to get there, know that it is worth the effort. There are wooden crates and barrels for you to sit on at the top should you need to catch your breath.

The first year perked up slightly at that, clearly a little surprised as well. "Ravenclaw..." She seemed to ponder that for a bit. It was interesting to note that had she herself been American, she would have likely been in Horned Serpent as well. Or that the Headmistress would possibly have been Ravenclaw.


"Oh, em, sure..." Quinn wasn't exactly surprised. She, honestly, was more surprised the Headmistress hadn't tried to bring anything up yet. But it was close to dinner and chilly out here. She nodded. She had somewhat expected this; or perhaps, considered it a possibility would be more apt. "I think I have time tomorrow afternoon where I can stop by your office..."

Yes, Ravenclaw. The headmistress shook her head in response to the girl's pondering, but said no more on the subject. The correlation between Horned Serpent and Ravenclaw could be made, but so could the other options. Though she herself settled on Ravenclaw, at least in her case. The Hat had confirmed as much, that one day she curiously put it on.

"Excellent," she said to the agreement that the conversation should continue at a later time, before they all froze on an empty stomach. "I'll be waiting in my office then. Right after your final class for the day."

The woman then reached for the door and held it open with a smile, allowing for the Ravenclaw to make her way down the spiral staircase before she went down them herself.

Talk and eat snacks. It would be a great time. "Exactly, we would learn how to pay attention too, be focused, quick." See they both were in the same mindset with this.

She nodded. "It is." Home away from home. At first it was an adjustment but this being her second year it hadn't been to hard to slip back into the way things were the year before. As long as she kept busy she was fine. "If you're interested in learning about that stuff you can check out the library there's tons of books in there about the battles I'm sure." Or he could just wait to be taught about in during lessons. Rylee grinned back at him. "Nice to officially meet you then, Ed."

The eleven year old laughed with glee at the thought. Yeah, he could definitely get Beth and some of the others to come play. "That sounds like a plan." He grinned at the girl, he really liked her. They were really getting along, and he could tell they were going to be great friends. "It'll be great training, for, uh, something, right? Quicker, stronger, faster, and all." He had no idea what they'd need those skills for, but they could always come in handy for something.

"History isn't usually my thing, you know? I like well, science classes were always my favorite. But a battle fought here, I might have to make an exception." Leaning against on the edge of the wall, he rested his chin on his arms, watching the sun as it set. "I'm not sure what my favorite class here is, yet." He glanced over at Rylee, "But whats yours?"

Laughing as well now, Rylee nodded in agreement. She was sure she could gather up some of her friends to play tag or hide and seek up here with them. Reese was sure to want to play she was positive of that. Her brother was always up for something fun and that would push him to become faster and improve her reaction time... much like herself. "Awesome! We should try to set that up sometime soon." Once again she nodded quickly. "Perfect training for defense or even Quidditch. Anything where you want to become faster and stronger." Constant vigilance is key.

"It's not really mine either usually but it is interesting being that it's our school." History was a lesson that confused her with all the names and dates. It had to really hold her attention. Rylee smiled watching the sun set, the sky changing different shades of red, it was beautiful. "I have several. Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Just to name a few. The first two being her main focus though. Anything creature or plant/flower related always got her full attention.

Default Astronomy term long assignment: observation night 2
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

It had been raining for the past couple of nights and Dorian had been forced to postpone his long term assignment until he could stay outside and not get wet. There were probably spells for that but the third year had not really bothered looking it up. He had been too invested in his comic books anyway.

But tonight, the Ravenclaw had looked up and out of the Ravenclaw Common Room window and saw that it was a clear night. It had taken him some time to gather his things but eventually he was climbing the stairs again, thanking Dumbledore that his Common Room was already in one of the towers so he did not need to climb that far. Once he reached the spiral staircase leading up to the battlements, Dorian let out a sigh before he continued his climb.

His bag was light thanks to the Undetectable Extension Charm and as he reached the area he looked around first. He had never, in his three years of being at Hogwarts, been here before. He had actually found out about this place when he had been looking back at the castle during one of the Care of Magical Creatures lessons and he had seen this part he had never paid attention to. Naturally, as most of the Ravenclaws were, his curiosity got the best of him and here he was.

Dorian sat down on one of the wooden crates and took his bag off of his shoulders. Perhaps he had not need to bring his blanket this time as he did not know there would be places to sit. Maybe he could use it to wrap it around himself if it got really cold. Although the sky was mostly clear, there were some clouds and they went in front of the moon occasionally making the area he was in dark and then light and then dark again.

Another thing that should be noted was that the teenager had learned from his past mistake and he had not bring his comic book with him. Just a blanket and something to drink. Hot chocolate milk to be exact. Stayed heated up with the use of a charm he had asked one of the older Ravenclaw students to do before he had went up to the battlements.

He looked up at the sky and was disappointed there was no sign of the colorful aurora borealis yet. He didn’t even know if It would be visible tonight. Were there specific days it could be seen? Perhaps it had been mentioned in class but he forgot? Ah, at least he could enjoy the silence again.

Silence that became BORING after an hour. He checked his watch to see the time and noted that it was nearing 11:30pm. He promised himself to wait till at least 1am. He was not a quitter even when he got bored. He just wished he had his comic book with him…. No, that would only distract him besides, he could sit and look at the sky for hours. He could totally do that! With renewed passion, Dorian took a sip from his hot chocolate milk as he watched the sky again.

The hot chocolate was almost finished and he placed the mug on the ground. He didn’t think there would be any lights to see tonight. And then he got an idea. He took out his wand from his robe pocket he really had to ask his father if he could buy a wrist holster for him next year in diagon alley and held it in front of him. Now…what was the incantation again?
Eeeeh….. He reached inside of his bag again and took out his single note book he used for Astronomy. He had one for each class so it was easier to keep track of things. He flipped the pages until his memory sparked when he saw the incantation written down. Closing his book, Dorian pointed his wand in front of him and waved it. ” Fluctus Lux!” ………..”Fluctus Lux!” ………wasn’t there supposed to be light? ”Fluctus Lux!!”

Finally he managed to perform the spell and he watched as he had managed to cast the white light. It was definitely not as beautiful as the colorful lights he had seen during class but whatever. It was better than what the sky was doing. Just give him the northern lights already!

After another 45 minutes, the Ravenclaw yawned behind his hand and decided to call it a night. It was earlier than he had planned. He grabbed the piece of parchment he had used the first time and dragged a line horizontal under it to indicate a new day.

SPOILER!!: observation notes

Name: Dorian Katharos
Year: 3rd
House: Ravenclaw
Times stamp:: 10:34pm – 12:18am
Date: December 2nd 2095

The weather had not been in my favor the next couple of days but finally a clear night had come. I used the battlements location this time to observe the sky in the hope that I would see the northern lights again. Or as we learned in class; Aurora Borealis.

But I deliver bad news yet again. Although the sky was mostly clear with some clouds blocking the moon, I did not see any of the lights tonight as well. So I decided to make my own. With the Fluctus Lux spell we learned in class, it took me a few attempts but I managed to make the white light appear and although it was definitely not as pretty as the colorful lights the sky would make, it was something at least. Plus I had not tried the spell after the lesson so I think it was good to practice it again.

I don’t know when I’ll be observing the sky next but I hope its pretty soon.
