Devil's Snare



This is a plant with long creepers and snake-like tendrils that are used to trap animal prey, which is presumably then consumed in the same way a Venus Fly-Trap digests insects. Devils Snare detects the presence of prey when it is touched, and immediately sends out tendrils to trap it. The more the victim attempts to struggle, the faster the tendrils wrap round them. The plant is attracted to dark, damp conditions, and light and warmth can be used to make it release any trapped prey. First-years are taught about this plant in Herbology lessons. Devil's Snare is similar in appearance to the Flitterbloom.

[ ]Phase Carnival
This is a purely wizard location. The carnival is covered with spells to keep muggles away and uninterested. Any ride imaginable as well as booth games can be found in this elaborate carnival.
00
[ ]Quidditch Stadium
Most of the time this stadium is left alone, empty and used by kids as a playground but once five-six years, this stadium houses a crowd of wizards and witches as they come to see the World Cup match. People set up tents fully accommodated or just camping tents for those with less money. Fires burn all night as people wait for the game of the year to begin.
00
[ ]Parington Lane
This used to be a muggle hot spot but after a few incidents with the death eaters during the war, they are afraid to come up here. Young wizards and witches have claimed it as theirs. They come up for some romance or even just a quiet place to talk things out. Even older wizards and witches have started coming up here.

London
[ ]Ministry of Magic
The simplest way to enter the head of the British Wizarding world is through a run-down telephone booth in the middle of London. Dial 62442. State your name a buisness and pin on your tag if you're a guest. The booth will take you down to the level closest to the London streets. The level number gets higher as you go farther down into the ground.

[ ]Knockturn Alley
Stumbling around Diagon Alley's back streets, you may find the entrance to Knockturn Alley. It consists of only a rotted fence that makes an alley seem like a dead end, but if you know where to tap, you can come right in. Now that Voldemort has gone, the alley has become more closed off and private. It is a dark place that sells many things relating to the Dark Arts. The only known shop is Borgin & Burkes. There isn't much sun in these tight streets so it is a popular spot for vampires. Also since Voldemort's demise, houses have sprung up in the back corners and side roads.

[ ]Daily Prophet
The Daily Prophet building appears to muggles as an abandoned ice cream parlour off the main street, near the Ministry's phone booth. It is only three stories high, offices covering the inside space. The offices of those in charge are on the third floor while the presses are on the bottom. The newest writers are given the offices near the presses until someone newer comes but most people are on the second floor.

This is the largest park in London. Muggles and wizards alike share the area. There are a few calm paths as well as a childrens' toys. Great place to just escape reality.

[ ]Churling
In the south of London, Churling spans a few dozen miles of land. It is the worst of the city. There are a few run down muggle schools still in operation. A group of wizards still roam around here, some good, some bad. Some of the muggles aren't safe to be around here.

London is huge. There are so many places that don't have their own board. All these unnamed places fit into this section. This includes the muggle world as well as the rest of the wizarding world.
