Welcome to Turning Back Time, a Marauders' Era RP. We started out quite a while ago and over time have had some remodelings, and this is the latest, but enough chattering about that.
TBT is an RP site for all those who love to RP, be it as one of the Marauders, or one of the Slytherin gang, or just as an original character, in the time that Voldemort was only just rising to power. There are still a lot of open canon places and enough space to RP, so please, feel free to join!
But, please do keep in mind we at TBT ask at least one paragraph per post. Of course, we understand when you're having a bad day, but eight lines is something everybody can manage when they try just a bit.
We hope you'll have a great time here, whether you're just visiting, or staying to play!
Admin/Mod Notices (1 sub-board) If something's going on on the site, or if there's something new coming up, the Admin or Mods will post it here, and you can reply!
This will be edited at a regular base, so keep checking back every once in a while.
Ministry Files (2 sub-boards) This board contains all important information about the game, such as information about spells, canon lists and other interesting stuff.
Character Development (4 sub-boards) Here's where you can post your character's photo-album, diary, or a thread to plot out plots for your character. In this board you can also sign up for the lessons your character will be following.
The Kitchens For students perhaps one of the most important rooms in the entire castle, the kitchens!
The Hogwarts kitchens are located directly below the Great Hall and are just the same size. They have high ceilings and a great brick fireplace at one end. Mounds of brass pots and pans are heaped around the walls. There are preparation tables directly below the four house tables in the Hall above, and when the time comes for the food to be served, it is magically transported through the ceiling of the kitchen onto the plates. The kitchens are staffed by over a hundred house-elves. To get to the kitchens, take the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall. Follow the corridor until you come to a painting of a bowl of fruit. Tickle the pear and it giggles and becomes a door handle.

Potions Class Room "I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death."
Potions are magical liquids created by mixing various ingredients in a cauldron according to very specific rules. These mixtures must usually be drunk to give their magical effect. The ingredients in potions range from the mundane to the bizarre and fantastic, and the procedures for creating some potions can be complicated and time-consuming.

Ground Floor
The Great Hall Here's where student use their breakfast, lunch and diner. Yes, always at the same place, but my, the food they serve!
The Great Hall is a vast chamber with an enchanted ceiling that mirrors the sky outside. Four long tables for the four houses. Closest to the doors from the Entrance Hall is Slytherin, then Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and next to the far wall, Gryffindor. The teachers sit at the High Table, a table on a raised platform at the front of the room.
The Entrance Hall This is where you enter Hogwarts, the Entrance Hall, with big wooden oak doors, the House Points Hourglasses, staircases leading to the dungeons, and a staircase leading upstairs.
Double oak front doors, opening to the west. A large, cavernous room, lit by torches, with ceiling so high it's barely visible. A wide marble staircase opposite the front doors leads up to first floor. Double doors to the right lead into the Great Hall. On the east wall are two doors, one on either side of the staircase. To the north of the staircase is a door leading down a flight of steps to the first dungeon level. To the south is a door leading to the Hufflepuff common room and the kitchens. On the left is a door leading to a smaller antechamber where First Years wait to be sorted.

House Points Hourglasses A special stone for each House: Rubies for Gryffindor, Emerald for Slytherin, Sapphire for Ravenclaw and and Yellow Diamonds for Hufflepuff. All Housepoints will be found here. At the end of the year, the House with the most House Points wins the House Cup!
To the staff: Please post here who deserves points, and from whom points were substracted!

Dueling Hall Surely everybody would like to know how to defend theirselves in combat, and this is where you can learn to duel.
Dueling exists as a sport in the same way that fencing is a sport in the Muggle world. While it is a friendly sporting competition, it is essentially a form of combat. Wizard dueling has rules and competitions, but in a battle, the same skills come into play in life or death struggles.

Filch's Office A place most students would rather not come to, the caretaker's office, filled with cabinets with files about malefactors inside. It smells a bit dank in here, and some people have to serve detention here.
Staff Room Like the students have their Common Rooms to relax, the Staff has it's own Staff Room. Of course, only staff's allowed in here.

Defence Against The Dark Arts Classroom Are you afraid of the Dark? By Dark meaning of course the Dark Arts. This obligatory subject has been set up when Grindlewald started rising, and even now, students will learn to defend themselves against all manners of Dark beings in this class.
Latin Classroom One of the most often used languages for spells and the like, it might come in handy to actually learn the language too! You will be translating things from Ceasar to Pliny and from Catullus to Piccolomini here.

The Library Books, as far as the eye reaches, seas of books, mountains of books, books everywhere. A downright paradise for all book lovers.
The Hogwarts library contains tens of thousands of books on thousands of shelves. Included in its many sections is an Invisibility Section, a section with information about dragons, and a Restricted Section at the back, set off with a rope. A signed note from a teacher is required to peruse that section of the library; it contains books of Dark Magic only used by older students studying advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts. One of the books in this section screams when opened.

Mythology Classroom Tales about gods, godesses, mighty warriors and beautiful princesses. That's mainly what you'll learn in this class, because in the wizarding world Latin and Ancient Greek are often used languages, it might be nice to know a bit about the tales these people told. Other mythologies include the Celtic mythology.

Room of Requirement Of all rooms in Hogwarts, this might be one of the strangest. A room that adapts to the wishes of the one who is wanting to use it, how strange is that? To enter, walk past the tapestry three times, thinking of whatever you need the room to be.

The Towers and Rooftops
Astronomy Tower Every night there is an Astronomy class going on here, high up, on the roof of the tower. A great place to look at the stars.
The Owlery Sure, most Student own an owl, but where do the owls go? Right, here. In this tower you'll most probably find an owl willing to deliver a letter to who ever.
The Owlery is a circular stone room, rather cold and drafty, because none of the windows had glass in them. The floor was entirely covered in straw, owl droppings, and the regurgitated skeletons of mice and voles. Hundreds upon hundreds of owls of every breed imaginable nestle here on perches that rise right up to the top of the tower, nearly all of them asleep.

Hogwarts Express The Hogwarts Express is a passenger train that makes a run between Kings Cross Station, London, and Hogsmeade Station near Hogwarts. It makes this run at least four times a year, and probably more often than that, as needed. A scarlet steam locomotive pulls the train. There is no dining service, but a witch pushes a tea cart through the train midway through the trip, selling various types of candy and iced pumpkin juice.

Platform 9 3/4 In order to catch the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts, students must board at Platform Nine and Three Quarters at King's Cross Station. This platform is not visible to Muggles. In fact, you get to it by running toward the solid barrier between platforms nine and ten, full tilt. Instead of hitting the wall, you'll find yourself passing under a wrought iron sign that says "Platform Nine and Three Quarters." A scarlet steam engine waits there, with a string of red passenger carriages behind it, with a sign overhead saying "Hogwarts Express, 11 A.M." A guard sits near the ticket booth, monitoring the comings and goings through the portal, making sure that too many people don't do it at the same time and alarm the Muggles. On days when the train is set to leave for Hogwarts, the platform is filled with witches and wizards saying good bye to their children. Cats and owls are a common sight among the crowd.
