Hogwarts
Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago (the precise date is uncertain) by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. The four school Houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built Hogwarts together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered severe persecution.

For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out the young who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy. After a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the school.

Reliable historical sources tell us this much, but these honest facts have been obscured by the fanciful legend of the Chamber of Secrets. The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the other founders knew nothing about. Slytherin, according to legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within, and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic. So far, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened twice, both by Tom Riddle (aka Lord Voldemort).

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the four wizard schools mentioned in the Harry Potter series. As none of the other three schools are actively discussed, we assume that Hogwarts is the dominant school out of the four. Of course, Hogwarts is protected from the common Muggles so they are not discovered. When Muggles walk by, all they see is an old run down castle instead of the fabulous masterpiece it really is! The school is protected from outside intrusion; therefore the only known ways to get into the school is by the gates.
When first year students get to Hogwarts, they are required to put on the Sorting Hat which puts them into the four house groups; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw. All four houses have their strong and weak points, and all students are picked by the Sorting Hat to the group in which he or she would fit the best in. The house you are selected into will be the group of people you will live with throughout your seven years of school at Hogwarts before you are 'of age'. All houses have their own sleeping quarters and common room, along with their own traditions.

HOGWARTS SONG
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, hoggy warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

The House of Black
Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place is home to what is know as the Black House. One of the only things Sirius has been able to do to assist the Order is to let them use his mother's house as the Order of the Phoenix Headquarters. The house is protected by the Fidelius Charm, which keeps a secret within a person. The Order of the Phoenix's Secret Keeper is Albus Dumbledore, the founder and leader of the group that fought Lord Voldemort and his supporter's the first time he was in power. Because of the Fidelius Charm, when a person walks by Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, they can only see Number Eleven, Grimmauld Place and Number Thirteen, Grimmauld Place side by side.

The Black House is covered with dark drapes and has an eerie feel about it. Hung on the walls are the heads of house elves and strange noises can often be heard around the house. The black house elf, Kreacher also lives in the house and is not fond of house's last remaining descendent, Sirius Black. Kreacher has stopped cleaning the Black House ever since Sirius's mother passed away, which was 10years ago. Kreacher often scopes around the house stealing items of his former masters before they get thrown away as the kids, Mrs. Weasley, and Sirius clean the house to make it fit for human habitation.


Entrance
After thinking about the location of Grimmauld Place, the house will suddenly appear. As you walk up the worn stone steps to the black painted door with a serpent knocker that's shabby and scratched with no keyhole nor letterbox, you will step into a grimy and darkened hall. You could smell the damp, dust, and a sweetish, rotting smell.


Basement
The basement floor is a kitchen. A cavernous room with rough-hewn walls, a large fireplace where most of the light comes from, and a large table with lots of chairs from a previous Order meeting. There is a dresser where utensils and plates are kept. A haze of pipe smoke hung in the air like battle fumes, which loomed the menacing shapes of heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling. Up the steps is the main floor. A small pantry is connected to the kitchen. In a cupboard there is a water tank and beneath this is Kreacher's den, a filthy niche filled with mouldy blankets and bits of family heirlooms Kreacher has managed to scavenge as Sirius cleans the house.


Ground Floor
The Entrance Hall is a large room with peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, gas lamps, and a serpent-shaped, cobwebby candelabra. A staircase runs to the upper floors. There are a number of age-blackened portraits here, including a large one behind moth-eaten moldy curtains. This portrait is of Mrs. Black that is held to the wall by a Permanent Sticking Charm, and when disturbed it screeches and screams in a most horrible manner, cursing everyone around and waking the other portraits of dead house elfs that served the Black family, who also begin screaming. Everyone tiptoes and whispers in the hall so they do not awake the portraits on the walls. There is an umbrella stand in the hall made from a Troll leg in which Tonks always knocks over with her clumsiness.


Upstairs
On the first floor is the drawing room; Hermione and Ginny's bedroom is also located on this floor. Harry and Ron sleep in a dark, high-ceilinged second floor room with a wardrobe in it and a blank portrait on the wall in which Phineas Black (one of the old Headmasters) goes back and forth out of between the room and the Headmasters office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Fred and George sleep directly above them on the third floor. Buckbeak stays in the upstairs bedroom which once belonged to Mrs. Black and Sirius spends a lot of time up there towards the end of the Christmas holidays. Magic items in the house include an ancient set of purple robes that tried to strangle Ron when he attempted to remove them and a grandfather clock that shot heavy bolts at anyone who went past it. In an upstairs toilet, a rather murderous ghoul was lurking.
