Default Entrance Hall


Whether you are brand new to Hogwarts or have been here a while, the Entrance Hall is always a breath-taking sight to see. Always memorable are the high ceilings, the colourful portraits on the walls, and the grand marble staircase. Various torches light the large room, keeping it nice and cozy at all times of the year. Arched windows atop the staircase, featuring the four Hogwarts Founders in all of their glory, bring in natural lighting as well.

This room branches off to the rest of the castle. If you are standing by the enormous oak doors and the House hourglasses, to the right are the doors that lead to the Great Hall. Next to them are doors that will reveal a broom cupboard and the basement corridor. Opposite is a door to a stairwell that will take you do the dungeons and another that will take you down a corridor where the staff room and other rooms can be found. Going up the marble staircase will take you to a corridor that connects to the moving staircase chamber. There is a lot to see here, so take your time exploring!

It was early on a Saturday morning, and while she normally liked to be able to sit and relax in her bed, today she was antsy to get out and enjoy the castle. Maybe it was the nostalgia that the was the last term at Hogwarts. Maybe it was equal parts fear that her younger brothers would be out causing a ruckus resulting in her receiving a howler about their behavior.

Ugh she was not their keeper and their parents were delusional if they thought that she would be able to stop them. Seriously, stopping twin brothers who were always causing havoc was not easy to stop. Taking a book on classic fashion trends and designs she flipped open her sketch book trying to take note of how the shape worked to see if she could use modern techniques to actually pull off making the silhouette of the dress. Oh she should try making the pants on the opposite page in a few weeks.

Groaning louder then intended Charlie realized that she needed to start planning her halloween outfit. And the party that she wanted to host in one of the spare rooms for halloween. That would be perfectly okay. Right? Her friends would want to help. Invitations would need to be made for that, maybe she could get a discount for ordering her birthday bash invites at the s amp time? Clearly she was enjoying her own little world.

Meanwhile, Cooper was mostly obtuse when it came to what was in and out of fashion and any cues he had absorbed as of late had been from his kind-of-sort-of man crush on his abraxan mentor over the summer. Monsieur Benoit had even gifted him with a jacket similar to one the breeder and jockey wore himself and it was probably the first piece of clothing the Ravenclaw owned where when he slipped it on he actually felt cool. Otherwise...fashion was about practicality and comfort.

...so...only moderately hopeless. Maybe.

Leaving the Great Hall with an apple in hand, Cooper had just taken a juicy crunch out of it when he heard someone groaning nearby and turned his head to follow the sound midchew. "Charwee?" He really should not be speaking with his mouth full. Cooper quickly swallowed his bite of apple and gave that another go. "Charlie? You okay there?"

Pencil hanging in her hand as she glanced up at the familiar voice she smiled. Cooper looked like he was about to go do something today instead of what she was doing which wasn’t much honestly. But she could enjoy the view of Cooper before her. If she was being honest. “Hey Cooper. Just frustrated. My brothers started this term and moms worried.”

Looking him over she noticed a new jacket and thought he looked really good. “I like your jacket. Headed out?” she glanced him over once more impressed with the choice for a Saturday morning if she was being honest with herself.

His only current to-do list was to eat this apple and then add the core to Professor Flamsteed's compost pile. Though after doing so it was very likely that he would hang around the try his hand at some of the repairs and replanting that the greenhouse desperately required. He really felt bad for the Herbology professor and he could easily sympathize with her situation. He remembered when the Neo Alliance had broken his camera and he hadn't been able to take any pictures. Of course that was censorship at its most intense, but to Cooper it had been a complete squashing of his heart and freedom...more so than getting himself thrown into the room had been. He had found purpose in The Room, but his hands and school bags had no purpose...only vacancy.

So...he felt like he could understand Professor Flamsteed's sorrow a little. And she had even had to destroy the greenhouses herself, for the greater good. Though he hated to use that phrase.

But, thoughts sidetracked only to be brought back by Charlie's voice, the Ravenclaw smiled and nodded in empathy. "My little brother and sister started this term too and mum is always the biggest worry wort over it so...I get it," he smiled while giving her a little nudge. "It'll be fine...and just try to remember that they're mistakes are theirs to make, not your responsibility." He had gone through this sort of helicoptering phase with Kinsay, still was but he had surrendered to certain truths too, and he was trying not to be too domineering when it came to Mercer and Marina.

"Oh, thanks, again," he grinned sheepishly while ruffling his hair a moment. "I wore it the day I accompanied you for the..." He tapped his noise to indicate her new piercing.

Smiling as she watched him, putting her book of sketches into her bag, he was clearly thinking about what exactly he had planned out for the day. She honestly hadn't gotten much further than what she was currently doing. But then again she often didn't get too far on her weekends she didn't want to rush them.

She laughed, "Yeah I want no part of their mistakes. I think she's afraid they'd Weasly something in the castle and she'd have to pull the boys and home school them." That made sense right? The were utter chaos. One was usually acting as the brains of that days operation while the other was executing the plan. It was horrid when they lived in remote villages and they got bored.

Smiling at the reminder of where she had seen it before, she realized that's why she liked it so much. "Good choice if I do say so myself." She lightly touched the stud that had begun healing nicely "I'm really glad that you went with me." She would have chickened out of the piercing just like she had chickened out of the tattoo.

"I think...of all the magical mishaps that could happen...that may be one of the more welcome results," he chuckled. "Did they both end up in Hufflepuff? I...sorry...I missed a good portion of the Sorting chasing down a first year who was trying to make a run for it and went outside...so I think I missed them but pretty sure I saw one of them in Hufflepuff robes." Honestly, he would take a little prank object chaos over some of the things he had been talking and working Kinsay through and he was keeping his fingers crossed for Mercer and Marina.

Shrugging his shoulders a bit, he couldn't help but look at his arms and how they filled out the Hebridean Black hide. "Monsieur Benoit has good taste...I was very surprised when he gave it to me on my last day." Pausing to play with the zipper a bit, sliding it up and down the teeth without any real intent of closing it up, his warm chocolate brown gaze looked back at her nose. "Suppose it was lucky that I happened to be walking through the Square on the day," he mused a bit, recalling how her hand had felt practically attached to his as though there were a Permanent Sticking Charm in effect. "Does it accomplish what you were hoping it would?"

Charlie gave him a smile as she listens to him talking about how his siblings pranks would maybe be seen as funny and would absolutely be less trouble than what they actually are. She wondered if that could actually be true. "It's okay, I was paying more attention to a couple of the new students at the table who looked ready to combust." Laughing a bit she shook her head letting the curls bounce a bit. "Jacoby is in Hufflepuff and I think Zeek said he was in Slytherin. Or was it Ravenclaw? There was a tie fiasco, and those two are incredibly hard to find around a castle that isn't that big" Laughing at the joke regarding the size of the castle she started listening to him again about his jacket.

Benoit... Benoit... Ah yes the one he was interning with if she remembered correctly. "I think you deserved it. You always go above and beyond to help people out." She would never forget how much he helped with being singled out for not being a pureblood when the school was taken over. She was absolutely terrified as were all the other students, but he made her feel safer. "Not totally sure yet. I do like it because it makes me feel more confident than I already am. Like if I can do that I can do anything? You know?" Oh boy rambling Charlie was a bad Charlie sometimes. "I was really glad that you were walking by. It made me way less nervous. I'm still not sure about a tattoo."

Combust? That...did not sound good. And seeing as this was the Gryffindor table it was even more concerning to him. "Uh oh...what was going on there?" Ravenclaw had been pretty chill. Wholesome and welcoming really, nothing all that particularly out of sorts except for Ashley seeming a little more down in the dumps than usual - though that particular Claw tended to be moody. Cooper's ears were mostly burning in anticipation for hearing something about Kinsay - she had been off during the train ride and he couldn't help but be worried. "Well...in the off chance that he did end up in Ravenclaw...I'll keep an eye out." And ask Mercer or Mitsuki since they would be yearmates, and dormmate in his brother's case.

His cheeks colored just a little at her praise, but it was the sort of compliment he could take better than others. Still, his hand ruffled through his hair a bit and his head dipped a bit in appreciation. He was not sure that he totally understood the nose piercing as a confidence boost, but then it wasn't really his to get. The important thing was that it made her feel more empowered and good. Though, now that he paused to think a little about it, he could compare it to his jacket - which did make him feel cool and put together, maybe even a little stronger despite knowing that his jacket provided him with no additional strength. "Well...if you change your mind about that and decide you want to get that..." he began, jabbing a thumb to his chest for emphasis. "...let me know. I'll tag along for it."

And probably not watch this time, avert his eyes elsewhere other than wherever it was she was getting her ink done. He was pretty sure that his own nose had hurt watching her whole piercing process and his eyes had even welled up a bit as if he had had a good thwack.

She chuckled a bit, "Okay, maybe combustion wasn't the right word. But a few of the new students looked like they were about to lose their lunch if you know what I mean. But the new kids were all trying to be nice and liked, but Kinsay looked annoyed. Well that wasn't really totally new, it seemed like Kinsay had always just sucked a lemon these days, but Charlie couldn't figure out what she had done to her because she swore they were friends.

Her smile stretched when he mentioned keeping an eye out for Zeek. "Aw, thanks Cooper. They're seriously elusive. I'm not sure how they got to be so elusive." Her smile led to a blush as he mentioned tagging along for a tattoo. He seriously was so cute and she just wanted to wrap him up in a hug because she had missed him terribly over the summer. "I will absolutely let you know. But it might be a good long while until I'm ready for that." She smiled at him before just wrapping him in a hug she needed him to know that she was super grateful for him. He knew that right?

Would there ever come a day where he would not worry about Kinsay? Probably not...in fact he felt even more trepidations this term, if he were to be honest. "Yeah...she is really struggling with Phoebe and Teddy not being here," he tried to offer by way of explanation. "She really hadn't wanted to come back." Which...ouch...but as he usually did, it was conceal don't feel too much and shift the focus on Kinsay to try and sort through all that. It was always easier that way. "All the excitement and people being glad to be here were probably just reminders that her older brother and sister weren't"

For the record, Cooper was quite good with hugs.

On both counts, her little brother and the potential next tattoo, Cooper simply nodded his head with a confident kind of smile in place. Plus, well, before he could get another word out...she was wrapping her arms around him and he had to twist a bit so that it was not at too awkward an angle in which the gesture was received - though he really was not too sure what had prompted it. Still, he easily reciprocated and gave her back a couple of pat pat pats. "I don't think tattoo parlors are going out of business any time soon...so you've got time," he chuckled before untangling his arms from around her.

She hummed as he mentioned her older siblings. she knew what that could feel like. She had felt like she was missing something when she left her siblings her first few years at Hogwarts. Now, she wondered what it would be like to go back to being on her own completely after this year. It was something that she wasn't sure she was totally ready to consider yet. "Honestly that's perfectly reasonable. I hope she knows she's not alone, even though we're not her siblings."

After accepting the few pats on her back she blushed as she pulled away and untangled from Cooper. A light blush crept up into her cheeks. "You're absolutely right about that. I'm going to absolutely take my time." She smiled and glanced down at her shoes, "Sorry, I just didn't know how to say how much I appreciate you. Well and how much I missed you this summer." Wow, she felt like she was being weird and she was going to make him uncomfortable

It was wild that he, Cooper Emilio Branxton, being an individual who could overthink in his sleep and often made back up plans to his back up plans had not seriously considered what post-Hogwarts would look like. He had not seriously thought about university or whether or not he would look at some career options in the Ministry or really anything that he would do once the Hogwarts Express returned to King's Cross Station. He hadn't even pictured himself moving out of his home on the loch. Perhaps it was denial, perhaps it was something else, but life seemed to exist only as far as NEWTs...and the rest some distant fantasy. It would all come and nip him in the bum later, surely. "She does...but does does have the tendency to hyper focus on one aspect and everything else fades into the background a bit." Which, he would never admit, made him feel insecure at times and question his own level of attachment's reciprocation. But that was a whole other thing and more his own self infliction.

Smiling warmly, he reached out to gingerly tuck a bit of her curly hair behind her ear. "I am not sure you have anything to apologize for...and...well...I was particularly busy this summer. Really doubled and tripled and quadrupled up on things to make up for the summer before." The grounded one, to be specific. Her behavior may have been a little peculiar, since this had been a part of their conversation when they met up during summer once he was back, but seventh year brought out a lot of emotions. He wouldn't judge her or make her feel uncomfortable for feeling her feelings. "It's nice to be appreciated," he continued, his hand dropping to his side. "I appreciate you too, in case that wasn't obvious."

With students more or less free to come and go around general breakfast hours, Kamran reasoned that the best place to catch the majority of the kids was actually out in the Entrance Hall, a little before the first lesson of the day. He'd repeat the announcement - such as it was - at lunch and dinner too, and with the added factor of word travelling fast at Hogwarts, hopefully minds would be put at ease in no time at all. He'd get the noticeboards too, for good measure.

"Students," Kamran called out to those milling and moving about the Entrance Hall, just after breakfast, standing a few steps up on the marble staircase - all the better to see them with. "If I can have your attention, I have a quick little announcement for you all. An update on the situation with the castle." He glanced upwards at the hopefully-not-crumbling ceiling, as though expecting a problem to be spoken into being, but it was fine. Everything was fine. Totally fine.

He knew it would be. Obviously.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

With breakfast out of the way, Aria literally planned to skip off to classes. She hoped it would be a good day. There wasn't anything in particular she wanted to happen during the course of the day... except the professors not giving them much homework. Less homework meant that she got more time for herself, time that she would used to work on her designs-

Jolted out of her thoughts, Aria looked around to find Kazmi standing on the marble staircase. An announcement about the Castle? The Slytherin was certain it had to do with the mysterious happenings. Suddenly feeling nervous for the building, she came to a halt so that her gaze could properly fixate on the man.

You have Ms. McLeod's attention, Headmaster!

Jasper had gotten to breakfast a little later than he would have liked. He usually tried to get to the Great Hall as EARLY as possible, if for no other reason than to have more time to both eat and socialize. At the same time. Because doing those two things at once was very hard. Especially because he liked to eat A LOT. And he liked to socialize A LOT. And to find a balance of both things was not an easy task.

So the announcement actually saved his life. It meant he could take some breakfast to-go and munch while he listened to Headmaster Kazmi. This is how you multitask like a pro, yo. So with two waffles in each hand, Jasper Botros made his way out into the Entrance Hall and settled somewhere in the middle of the crowd, somewhat near Aria.

.... What situation with the castle? Was there a situation with the castle? Was something wrong with the castle?

Because if it were to be ... falling apart, for example, Jasper Amir hadn't the faintest clue. He was simply here catching major vibes and eating good food. Any situation with the castle hadn't registered on his radar.

Did the situation have anything to do with the house elves? Because they really outdid themselves with these waffles. Mmmf. But taking four may have been overkill. Poor decisions are always made on an empty stomach.

Cyril had made it a point to get his class preparations completed earlier in order to make it to the meeting Kamran had requested among the students. He doubted his presence would be needed, necessarily, but with kids it was oftentimes a good idea to have an extra set of eyes for those that might have been more anxious than others. Was he primarily thinking of a few first years? Yes. But some of the older students had moments as well.

Noting the students who were here already though, Ms. McLead and Mr. Botros? Well, he needn't worry about those two. So Cyril simply hung back while others filtered around, keeping an eye on them all and intent on shooing stragglers who might have missed the numerous announcements closer to hear the Headmaster's words.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel followed the rest of the students out of the Great Hall while holding on to a book that he had been reading during breakfast. The sight of the Headmaster standing on the stairwell drew his attention, so he moved to side near one of the torches and leaned with his back against the stone wall as he waited for the man to speak further about the castle's situation

After having her fill of breakfast, Celyn was on her way out of the Great Hall, intending to head to the greenhouses, when she heard the Headmaster's call for attention. She turned to look, then took a few steps back that way to fall in with the small group already beginning to converge. She was aware of some of the situation, or so she thought, and she was interested in what he had to say. Well, she would have been interested even if there hadn't been a situation, considering he was in charge of the school.

"Is everything alright, Headmaster?" she asked pleasantly, with a touch of concern coloring her voice. Hopefully what he had to say was more solution than problem. But also, was there something she could do to help?

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Ash made an effort to eat at normal times in normal places nowadays. So she was there when the announcement was being made, even if her hair was rather disheveled and she looked like she needed five coffees. She was actually awake, and she turned her eyes towards Kazmi(the best headmaster ever) out of respect. Also she walked towards him and stood near the other professor (Cyril). Professors usually knew what was happening better than she did. The situation with the castle? Oh yeah, it's falling apart and nothing works. I wouldn't care if it wasn't happening to ME. Maybe the castle will fall down and the school will have to close. Maybe we're- Ash ignored her thoughts and tried to focus on Kazmi. There was an announcement happening, after all.

A full stomach had meant Cooper had had every intention of lounging around somewhere and reorganizing his NEWT study materials. He did this every couple of days, rearranging the order of subjects based on how much revision he had gone through and what was left. It probably was not the best that he had reviewed Ancient Runes and History of Magic the most, considering that his studying of those two topics was basically a hobby. Charms and Transfiguration he really ought to focus more on, which had been his intention of the morning...but apparently the universe had other ideas. Theo really was rubbing off on him a lot, which was a good thing in many ways.

But, to the task at hand.

Making his way over and standing beside Celyn, Cooper shrugged his shoulders in response to her question. He hoped that his photographic evidence of the, er, journey that the castle was putting itself through this term had been helpful in some way. Some detail captured on film that had not been noticed at first. He had taken several, artistic, close ups...so...maybe? Cooper had his own theories about what may be happening, History of Magic revision made it impossible not to draw some connections and conclusions, but given the unpredictable nature of magic...anything was possible.

"Maybe we'll get to help fortify the enchantments on the castle," he whispered to his best friend. "Can't ask for a better NEWTs revision opportunity than that really."

Speaking of, the Ravenclaw's eyes did shift over towards their Care of Magical Creatures professor...and a little reminder sparked in his mind to ask him for a recommendation letter of sorts. In that...just in case capacity.

He gave them a few moments to direct their attention to him, but Kamran was not too concerned about making sure he had every eye and ear attending to him. A respectful amount of quiet and attention would be plenty. He sent a nod of acknowledgement to Cyril back there, and to any student who happened to meet his eye.

"Nothing to worry about, Miss Ashburry-Hawthorne," he assured the seventh year, allowing a small smile. "It's good news." Er. Well. Sort of. Kamran was still troubled by the fact that the root cause of the structural damage this year was still a mystery, but the news was good within those boundaries.

He addressed all of them now. "Thank you, I won't delay you for too long." Very sorry to those hoping to miss their first lesson of the day. Heartfelt commiserations. "Some of you-" All of them, he would expect. "-will by now have noticed some of the incidents of structural damage around the castle, the issues with the common room entrances, moving staircases, and the like. First, let me assure you that we're bringing in experts to sweep the building and refresh all the most complex enchantments; their expertise should see to it that the magic will hold at least another thousand years. This will be seen to well before the exam season is underway." Kamran had missed Branxton's comment, but would have agreed with the sentiment. A safe and secure and comfortable place to study for those exams.

See? Good news. Great news. "A specialist on magical architecture has confirmed that the oldest enchantments on the building have been fading; the working theory is that there was some kind of delayed shock after that close call with the Pharaoh's Triumph and the curse last term, though the curse itself is long gone." He did not want to talk about it. He did not want to talk about it. However. "If there are any questions or concerns about any of this, now is a good time to raise them." Ideally not the one he could only answer with suspicions and speculations, but Kamran was braced for it all the same.

Ash listened blurrily to what Kazmi was talking about, if it was even possible to listen blurrily. She struggled to process the words. It was just. a thing that happened sometimes. She raised her hand after a while and spoke softly. "Who exactly are the experts you're... the experts you're bringing? Who are they? They aren't sent by the board, right?" She didn't hate the board exactly(she didn't hate the energy for that), but she didn't trust them at all. They hadn't done a single good thing that she could remember. And she remembered a lot of things. "How do you know they're the best experts..." and not another 'healer sent to brainwash them into complacence' type of expert?

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Jasper and his waffles. Aria smirked a hint as she observed him but there was no judgement on her end. Growing boys ate a lot, she’d heard. A quick look around told her that the crowd was growing. Obviously everyone wanted to know what was happening with the Castle. Who could blame them all? Also, kudos to Kazmi for keeping them in the loop. The man was a true leader, and Aria could see that she had been right when she mentioned to Darius at the Start of Term Feast that Kazmi was the perfect man for the Headmaster post.

Aria shifted from foot to foot, her nervousness so unlike her. But she had good reason for it: for some unbeknownst reason, she had formed an attachment to the Castle and it scared her that it was falling apart. Not to mention she had taken to studying bits of the ceiling as she walked along should a piece decide to crumble away and crush her.

That was why it came as a relief to her that there would soon be experts to take care of the situation. Aria actually breathed a sigh that she hadn’t realised she had been holding. Like Kazmi, she found no reason to get into the happenings of last term; good riddance to that plant and the events. A win for her though? She had gotten it correct: the charms on the Castle were fading.

Just… just why couldn’t they have done this closer to exams? She was pretty sure some arrangement could have been made for OWL and NEWT students, anyway. Aria raised her hand. Yes, there was a question on her part. Not the kind where Ashley was throwing doubt on Kazmi’s ability to find genuine specialists. “I expect that we’ll be required to stay clear of certain parts of the Castle at a certain point while they work. If so, how ahead of that time will we be informed?” For example, their dorms, which were important to the students since it housed their belongings.

Giving a nod to Fox, an acknowledgement of her question and an encouragement to voice it, Kamran listened, then spoke. "First, let me assure you, the Board isn't sending anyone. They agreed last summer that their involvement in the running of the school will be limited, for this term at the very least, while a few issues are ironed out." Chiefly, the issue of who sent the plant and whether it had been intentional or not, and the growing distrust of the students regarding the Board of Governors. How they handled the latter depended entirely on the outcome of the former, but Kamran couldn't exactly blame the kids regardless of how it turned out.

"These individuals are experts on architectural enchantments, specialists in their field, highly recommended. They won't be roaming the school without a staff member present, and their work shouldn't take long." Hopefully that was enough by way of assurances, but Kamran supposed he'd be fielding more soon. He turned his attention next to McLeod, and addressed her question next. "At least a few days. Your Heads of Houses will keep you informed, at least a couple of days in advance."

Come to think of it, once he had a rough schedule, there was no reason he couldn't share that with the students. Merlin knew some of them needed to know in explicit detail what was going on around them and when, and there was no reason not to keep anyone in the loop.
