"I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me."

What? You think we would be so boring that we wouldn't have a plot? Well, my dear friends, that is where you fall incorrect. FAILING DESTINY does indeed have a plot, along with several sub-plots that are thought of by the members themselves! Check out here, to see how involved your character can be (which, in most cases, will be a lot). Have fun reading through!

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have."

Every character has emotions, something beneath the surface. They all have friends, enemies, and lovers. Here is where you provide your characters with those things. Give them a friend, or an enemy, or even a journal where they can record their day's events. It's time to add depth to your character.

"When young Harry here stepped into Flourish and Blotts today..."

Ah, Flourish and Blotts, the esteemed booksellers in Diagon Alley. Here they provide students with textbooks, new and old, very much like a regular bookstore today! It's also an interesting place to find a good read.

"I need to visit Gringotts."

The esteemed wizarding bank, run completely by goblins. While they are esteemed, they have right to be - Gringotts is the only wizarding bank in the world, supplying money for wizards worldwide. Protected by strong enchantments and curses, it takes skill to enter Gringotts undetected. Come here for all money needs.

It was the grandest thing Harry had ever seen.

The Grounds Floor at Hogwarts is well-known amongst all the students, mainly for what lies on it. The Great Hall, the Entrance Hall, the Staff Room, and even the Hufflepuff Common Room all are here.

"You can't be late to class!" exclaimed Hermione.

The first floor above the Ground Floor, and the first stop when on the Grand Staircase. There are a few classrooms on this floor... nothing particularly special.

"Isn't Moaning Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor? D'you think..."
"I dunno. Best go see, eh?"

Memorable things have happened here on the second floor. It is here that Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley discvered the Chamber of Secrets, and it is also home to several classrooms. What will you find here?

"Enjoy being in the hospital wing, Potter?"

The third floor is also full of memories... not all of them happy. This floor holds the hospital wing, a classroom, and the trophy room that Filch still guards so reverently.

"I never thought to look in here!" she whispered excitedly. "I got this out of the library a few weeks ago for a bit of light reading."

The fourth floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This floor has the library, which is just about all it's known for.

Reluctant though he was to accept more favors from Cedric, he also decided to use the prefects' bathroom.

On the fifth floor is the prefects' bathroom, and also the Transfigurations classroom.

Up and up the staircase they went...

There isn't much up on the sixth floor, as many people know. The only thing worth paying attention to is another students' lounge.

"Tonight, eight o' clock, seventh floor opposite that tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy being clubbed by those trolls."

The seventh floor, full of secrets and magical rooms. The Room of Requirement is up here, the most magical place in Hogwarts, per se. Thanks to Harry Potter, everyone knows about this marvelous room and its uses.

Sub-board: ROOM OF REQUIREMENT

At the top of the spiral staircase - they were obviously in one of the towers - they found their beds at last.

There are several towers at Hogwarts that folks should know about. There's Gryffindor Tower, where all the Gryffindors stay. There's also Ravenclaw Tower for the Ravenclaws and the Owlery, and the Astronomy Tower.

"But nothing beats Zonko's Joke Shop."

Zonko's Joke Shop has the reputation of selling only the best prankster items in Hogsmeade. They sell plenty of Weasley products, and plenty of their own. Hogwarts pranksters know where they ought to go for a good prank.

Honeydukes was so crowded with Hogwarts students that no one would look twice at Harry.

Looking for a sweets shop? Looking for a place to tickle your sense of smell or taste? Honeydukes is most certainly the place for you, then. It's the best sweets shop in all of Hogsmeade, and Hogwarts students are often found bringing back sweets to eat at the castle.

It was a cramped, steamy little place where everything seemed to have been decorated with frills or bows. Harry was reminded unpleasantly of Umbridge's office.

Madam Puddifoot's Teashop is a small place in the middle of the Honeyduke's main street. Students out on dates often come here... if they're into the frilly, pink, cheesy sort of dates. Girls are found here much more often than boys, that at least can be said.

It was not at all like the Three Broomsticks, whose large bar gave an impression of warmth and cleanliness. The Hog's Head bar comprised of one small, dingy, and very dirty room that smelled strongly of goats.

This bar is strongly known to Hogwarts students as the very bar in which Harry Potter instituted Dumbledore's Army with his two best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. So some still come here to hang out, despite its dingy appearance.

Ah, Paris, France. The city of love, and the city of miracles. Aurors sometimes come here on missions, and sometimes rich loving couples just come here to spend some time whenever they feel the need to get away from it all. It's a wonderful spot to do so.

A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Howarts Express, eleven o' clock.

Platform 9 3/4 is the legendary docking station for the Hogwarts Express, the only real means to get to the school of Hogwarts. Every September and June, this station is packed with wizarding families with their students.

"Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

Games are a lot of fun, and often key to a roleplay's success. Ever feel like playing a fun game? You can start one or join one here for a little spot of fun if you're up for it.

"No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines," said Dumbledore. "I do love knitting patterns."

Whether you're graphically retarded or gifted, this is certainly the place for you. Want a beautiful sig, icon, or just a picture of your character? Want to show off your mad skillz on a computer? This is most certainly the place. PM the HEADMISTRESS if you would like your own shop.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

Forced to leave us? Have a vacation to attend to, or a family weekend to be at? Of course, tell us here if you have to leave for a while, (or worse) you won't be coming back.

"I enjoyed the meetings, too. It was like having friends."

Want to roleplay with your character, but can't seem to find the place to do it or someone specific to do it with? Come here to request a roleplay with someone, and somebody ought to respond!
