˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ useful things to script for your Hogwarts dr!!
⋆˙⟡Every student after being sorted into their houses gets a letter on their beds welcoming them to their house and explaining why they got sorted here and best wishes for their years at hogwarts. its a page long and every student keeps their, its like your receipt hehe
⋆˙⟡there are gliding charms for when students have to walk a distance but dont wanna get tired and its fun to use and convenient. the charm is non slip but dont go too fast unless you wanna lose house points
⋆˙⟡the day time rides on hogwarts express feels like half the time due to magic although it still takes those many hours(9.5 hours) (but feels like 4-5) why i said day time is because i scripted that hogwarts has night time rides aswell which you can see the post on here
⋆˙⟡Tiny cat sized dragons that act as familiars(the idea was from @reverieshifts) . in my dr their official name is cinderling but we informally call them drogs. most wealthy wizards have one as a sign of status. drogs are incredibly loyal and bond for life. there are breathers (ice and fire) and non breathers (speed, camouflage , intelligence).
⋆˙⟡ Wizarding letters have a charm where the letter you write and send to someone can be read out in your voice by the recipient in their head, sort of like voice mails. you'll be able read the letter out as they had meant it with the cadence of their voice, soft laughs, deep breaths, etc.. as though they were right there with you.
⋆˙⟡ In addition to traditional literature, the wizarding world offers novels enhanced by Atmospheric Charms that transform reading into a fully sensory experience. These enchanted books go beyond text; they use magic to blur the reader's peripheral vision, pulling you into the scene where you might hear the rhythmic patter of the London rain in a book set in that location or smell the salt air of a coastal mystery. While the plot remains fixed, the sensory immersion from the chilling air of a haunted cave to the distant sound of carriage wheel makes the story feel like a lived reality. Despite these advancements, many academics still treasure profound Muggle novels for their cleverness, though reading remains a primarily studious hobby that not every witch or wizard chooses to pursue.
⋆˙⟡You can get a master catalogue from a place like Flourish and Blotts. You write your question on a specific page--and via a Protean Charm-- the text updates to give you an answer or points you to the specific book you need to order. these are search query catalogues and the wizarding equivelent of google. The catalogue doesn't "know" everything; it's an Enchanted Index. It has a Protean Charm linked to the Flourish and Blotts master inventory and shows you what is already available for public knowledge. it’ll give you the answer on its own or tell you a book and the exact page you may find the answer. though the searching is your own hardwork.
⋆˙⟡ Love potions have a cure, spells like amortentia can be cured if alerted and there are scrutiny spells to examine the ingredients of something to check for contamination or additives. Love potions sold in joke shops sense the intention of the user and wont work if it detects malintent; if so it backfires terribly on the lacer.
⋆˙⟡The pockets of every wizarding wear is enchanted to have more depth and on every pant, skirt, belt, theres a loop to sheath your wand on your waistline. in wizarding fashion theres always a wand sheath or loop; whether you buy it as a belt or clip or its stitched into your clothes. its there to keep your wand and ensure it wont fall out or get snapped. wand sheaths or clips or loops are a standard part of wizarding fashion. there are loops or sheathes on the inside of jackets, blazers, cloaks too (because it makes no sense that wizarding fashion isnt wizarding)
⋆˙⟡Skincare, hygiene, perfume potions or quick fix potions are easy to make and students usually keep potions of such in their dorm room cupboard or carry a mini potions kit with them everywhere. every wizarding house has a potions room.
⋆˙⟡instead of god, wizards say things like ‘Morgana’ ‘Merlin’ ‘Circe’ 'hecate' etc.. like morgana when you're pissed, merlin when youre shocked, circe when youre in awe or feel good, hecate when you're tired like 'holy hecate i can't do this today off you go'. also we dont say ‘chemistry’ we say ‘alchemy’ like ‘hes fit but the alchemy just isnt there’.
⋆˙⟡The curtains around dorm beds act as mufflers. closing your curtains is like a way of saying dnd. the curtains are light proof if you shut them completely and a simple muffliato will make it sound proof too *wink wink*. if fully closed it acts like a door and you can knock on it to call someone. on the corners of your bed posts are small 'lights' that you can use as a night light.
⋆˙⟡Students use tools like pendulums to find their way around hogwarts or navigate the moving staircases and passages. people have their own ways of getting across; some use charms, some use their directional skills and a fuck it attitude, some whisper praises and hope for the best, some use simple divination. whatever helps get you across in one piece.
⋆˙⟡its common for witches and wizards to have their own personal grimoires, its like your own magical diary where you write about your craft. people make their spells, write important translations, track their progress etc..
I have so so so many of these but I hope it helps!!
