Upper Floors It becomes more airy as you make your way to the upper floors of the castle. Here the tallest towers can be accessed and just maybe you will discovery somewhere that if you have to ask, you'll never know but if you know, you need only ask.

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.

The battlements 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.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Charlie instinctively craved space- while the coziness and warmth of the Hufflepuff common room was nice, he often found himself wanting to be out in the fresh and open air. So when it was time to meet up with Xerxes to hang out around the castle, Charlie had asked the other boy to meet him up on the battlements.

Charlie leaned against a wall as he waited, enjoying the view and taking some deep breaths. He looked lost in thought, a little, like his mind had slipped away to somewhere else. He sighed deeply but not unhappily, sinking to the floor against a wall and taking in the various sensations of sitting on the floor.

Xerxes practically skipped off the steps from the tower leading up to the Hogwarts Battlements. He was holding a box tightly in his hands. He looked in both directions and then saw his friends Charlie. "Wotcher Charlie?" He ran over and gave Charlie a high five. "It's good to see you. And boooooooy do I have a great surprise for you. I'm really excited; this is gonna be a lot of fun."

Xerxes leaned down and opened up the box he had brought with him. "I brought some Dr. Fillibuster's Fabulous Wet-Start, No Heat Fireworks. I thought we could set them off against the sunset. I have a feeling it will be indescribably beautiful."

He took a few out and handed a few to Charlie. "Just give them a tap with your wand and then give 'em a throw off the battlements. Let the light show begin." Xerxes said, tapping his first firework and throwing it off the side of the rampart. With a whiz and a bang, the firework threw off red and blue sparks in all directions. Xerxes clapped and jumped up and down. "Your turn Charlie."

Charlie perked up as his dormmate approached, sliding himself up the wall into a standing position. "Hey Xerxes," he said with a nod, returning the high five. "What do you have there?" He curiously looked into the box, and raised an eyebrow at the fireworks within. "I guess this is okay if they're not dangerous." Danger wasn't really his thing, but he supposed no-heat fireworks would be fine, right? He picked up a few, but hesitated before throwing it over the edge. "I'm not going to scare any birds, am I?"

"They aren't dangerous, just beautiful. And no, the birds will be just fine. Plus there aren't hardly any birds this high." Xerxes said, tapping a few more fireworks with his wand and watching them sparkle and fly though the air. The colors were absolutely breathtaking in the early evening sunset. The blues and golds were particularly awe-inspiring.

"So I had an idea for a little game we could play with the fireworks. I was thinking we could put a Levitation Charm on the fireworks and then make them chase each other through the sky. Does that sound like fun?" Xerxes asked his friend. He was also open to other ideas, but this is what he had come up with. He just wanted to do something exciting with his new best friend.
