This board is for students like yourself to come and pop into after lessons or at lunch to see what your friends are up to, and can hold more people than the IM's can.

Students register or log into an Instant Messaging program of some sort, and have a good gossip with their friends.

With the previous master, who was killed mysteriously by Death Eaters, the classroom was typical. Dark, messy and uncleaned with a slightly unpleasant smell. But the new teacher, Professor Braeden Andrews, everything changed. The room was turned bright and tidy, the stone walls painted white and plenty of light flooded the room. Professor Andrews liked things clean, wanted them clean. And he always got what he wanted.

The Hall of Snow is, as you all most probably guessed, named because of the contstant amount of snow slowly drifting down. It is fake snow, obviously, made from magic, but the flakes melt normally, just before they touch students - who don't seem to mind anyway - and don't ever make a mess. No water when they've melted, no nothing. Another strange thing about the hall is that, compared to Ice Pass, the hall residing just outside, it is very warm. This can pose as something of a problem, with all the students desperately trying to get out of their cloaks, hats and gloves at the same time, but at least it's a relief from the outside temperature.

To the right of the beautiful, large, silver, patterned entrance doors to the hall is another large pair of silver doors, a large 'S' - supposedly for 'Staff' - engraved into the top. Through these doors is a long, dark-wooden corridor, with several more dark doors along it, each with a golden name-plate on it

Darien likes things neat and organized, and his classroom is just one example of that. The walls are painted with four different landscapes. One the wall facing the entrance, there is a lovely moving portrait of a waterfall, complete with the sound, though it is turned down slightly. If you sit near it, you'll hear it. On the wall to the left of the door, there is a moving picture of a rain forest, complete with a few animals and their sounds. The same applies for this wall as the waterfall wall. On the wall to the right of the door, a moving landscape of an ocean, complete with the sound of waves crashing against the shore. On the wall that has the door, there is a picture of a cave in the middle of a mountain, the cave being the door's entrance. You can hear sounds, such as bats squeaking and water dripping. Also, each wall has a smell, that if you lean against it, you can smell the scents coming from it. His desk is against the ocean, and the classroom tables are facing the waterfall. There is no chalkboard, but instead, a table at the front of the room for whatever the day's subject may be. He has bookcases against the cave wall on either side of the door filled with books on magical creatures.

Unlike most other schools which have one Medical Room with several beds in it, Beauxbatons Academy has a Medical corridor, each with a set of small rooms with a bed, bedside table, dresser and white plastic chair in each. The Medical corridor is through an arch in the Entrance Hall, so that any injuries obtained outside can be taken care of quickly.

The fitness rooms contain all sorts of fun exersize items and workouts. The indoor swimming pool is the main room, the one you go into after leaving the corridor. The tiles on the floor, walls and in the pool are a light, pastel yellow, and comfortable, waterproof recliners in the smooth color of cream lie scattered about the huge pool. Several more rooms lie in wait behind thin, bamboo style doors around the water. There's the steam room, the jacuzzi room, the 'inexpierienced swimmers' shallow pool, and the room with all the exersize machines.

The Lioano Common Room has been rumored to be put on such a low floor because it is the nearest of the Common Rooms to the Medical Corridor and because it is the nearest to the Fitness Rooms. The Commmon Room is decorated in oranges and reds, the bright orange sofas sticking out against the thick, fiery crimson carpet. Suspended above the wood fireplace is the Lioano crest, the biggest crest of the three houses. The crest is, of course, enchanted, and the lion on it moves about.

Her classroom is neat and organized. It has posters on the wall of different creatures to watch out for. She has a few bookcases stuffed full of a large assortment of Defense Against the Dark Arts books. All of them are allowed, and there are a few rare ones there. She has tables, two a person, facing the front of the classroom. Her desk is simple, and it has picture frames, pens and pencil holders, and papers all stacked neatly. She has a chalk board behind her desk. She uses crystal lamps that are magically lit and are attached randomly on the ceiling.

This room is not really a museum, so to speak. It is a light, bright room with plenty of large windows. Modern, glass display cases line the walls, filled with things from school trophies to unicorn horns and other natural findings. It's quite an interesting place to visit.

The tennis court is located on the other side of the castle from the courtyard and garden, in a more sport-oriented area. It’s your classic court, surrounded by a chain fence to keep the balls from flying out of bounds. On this court, there are a few strict rules, such as one must have shoes on at all times and you may not bring any of the school-owned tennis balls out of the court. You may, of course, provide your own equipment if you so choose.

The courtyard is a spacious plot of land located right beside the castle. Thriving green hedges surround it on three sides, occasionally jutting into the yard and giving it a bit of a mysterious air. Beyond the fourth side, the garden is visible just barely visible in the distance. The ground is made up of healthy, ripe Earth with classic stone benches and tables placed periodically around the estate. Round stone steps wind through it, providing it with a seemingly elegant path.

The waterfall is agreed to be the most beautiful and romantic element of the Beauxbatons estate by far. Cool water cascades down the mighty rock, bubbling into a tranquil spring, which flows peacefully around the grounds and is used to fuel the fountain in the garden. It is located rather remotely and is unknown to most students in their first and second years. It is the farthest of anything from the castle, but is worth the journey. Caves behind the falls, although a bit hazardous to venture to due to the slippery rock, provide a delightfully private area. Trees and other sorts of vegetation surround the fountain, some of which grow fruits that are rumored to give eternal youth. Nobody dares to consume the fruits, though, because more prevalent rumors claim they are poison. Brightly colored wild life slips undisturbed through the spring, giving the whole area an air of liveliness and purity.

The garden is located rather far from the grounds in order to preserve its peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by high glass walls to keep out dangerous elements, the flowers within grow high, flourishing with the care of helpful students and the fastidious Herbology Professor. The colors range from majestic purples to attractive blues and fiery reds. A marble water fountain sits right in the middle, vivacious and flowing. Classic stone benches are scattered sparingly across the garden, making this the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the quiet.

The Waldgrave Train Station, located along the entire Amherst Boulevard, takes up half the town. The train itself is relatively old-fashioned, and runs mainly on coal, but a bit of magic helps to coax the speed just enough to kick it up a few notches beyond normal. Its exterior looks just a little too out of date, but when you’re inside it’s as if you’ve walked right into a 5-star hotel. The compartments are separated by ornately carved wood walls and sliding glass walls with a foggy tint. The interiors of the compartments consist of soft, cushiony chairs in a shade of majestic red. It would seem as if there is room on this train for all of France, but that, of course, is a myth that has yet to be proven.

Ever wanted one of those little coffee shops on the corner? Well, now you have one! Madam Angélique, though she insists you call her Angel, owns this little coffee shop. It's a little larger than your average coffee shop, but it also has a small library that connects with a small doorway by the counter. Here, they have all the flavors you could ever imagine! They even have little pastries or sweets and ice cream. There are plenty of small round tables with comfortably padded stools to accompany them spread all over the shop, and the colors are all deep, rich, and inviting.

Are you looking for a nice restaurant to take your date? You've come to the right place! Minuit à Paris is a restaurant that specializes in 'fancy' foods. Prices are low for such gourmet dishes, but the restaurant is anything but cheap. It is decorated with beautiful plants and vines draping the room. The lighting is dimmed every night for dinner, and there are tables for two dominating most of the room. There are booths in a separate part, meant for parties. The food is simply superb, and you won't be disappointed. The menu sports a wide variety of food, from many countries, not just France.

The tallest building in all of Underground Paris, Le Baril de Balais holds every broom model known to Man, dating from the early 1600’s to modern day. The older brooms are located, of course, at the bottom of the stacks piled precariously to the very ceiling and lining the walls, whereas the newer models sit at the very tops for easy access. Of course the space in the middle of Le Baril is used by enthusiastic young customers to test-ride the brooms. Generally this can become rather hectic, especially at the beginning of the Quidditch season.

Le Magasin de Plaisanterie is a simple enough building, with posters and displays littering the windows that positively SCREAM “Come in!” …Quite literally, in fact. “ENTRE!” shriek the posters at innocent passerby. Of course they don’t do it every time someone passes. They pick and choose their victims through the day. But then again, what else would you expect from the most infamous Joke Shop in all of Europe? Run by three of the most notorious pranksters Beauxbatons had ever seen, this shop is infected with screaming objects, squirting items, and bits and pieces of the most hideous candies you could ever find. Of course in includes the Classic jokes for the old-fashioned humorist: Dungbombs, Whizzing Worms, Frog Spawn Soap. This place has it all.
