Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Guidelines
Dress Code
A. STUDENT UNIFORM
1. While you are in the public areas of castle, you must be in uniform at all times. Uniforms are not required on Saturdays and Sundays (refer to casual dress section).
For the Boys:
Brown, black, grey, or dark blue trousers, a white shirt with a collar. A House Jumper (Sweater) or similar grey jumper. House Robes and scarf (optional) and dark colored shoes or trainers/sneakers.
For the Girls:
Same as for boys, but in addition they are permitted to wear knee length or longer skirts in the same colors. ((please also wear glitch plants if there is no skirt base underneath.))
a. Public areas of the castle are defined as anywhere that is not your house common room , dormitory, or while in the infirmary on an extended stay with the nurse. These are the private areas of the castle.
b. While in the Private Areas of the castle, you are expected to conform to the "casual student standard" dress code.
B. CASUAL STANDARD FOR STUDENTS (non-uniform)
While in the rest of Hogsmeade students are still expected to dress in a fashion that represents the school in a positive fashion.
The following things are not permitted:
1. Exceptionally tight, short, ripped, baggy, or revealing clothing, excessive bling or piercings, exposed tattoos, spikes, goth paraphernalia, collars, chains and the like.
2. Shirts with logos that advertise muggle drugs, alcohol, offensive bands, or have other offensive artwork or slogans on them.
3. Professors and other adult members of the Hogwarts community can point out and restrict anything else deemed to be disruptive or a safety hazard at any time.
Out of Bounds
The Forbiden Forest: Out of Bounds until further notice, due to the nameless dangers that live in the forest, and have lived in the forest since before any of you were born. The path through the forest is the ONLY safe path through to Hogsmead and to the Quidditch pitch, and as such, straying off the path could result in very nasty things(death is one for example)(that means that the houses outside of hogsmead are ok, as is the East side of the path(the right side as hogsmead is north of the castle). (We've decided to call this area a Lethal Board. Meaning if your character is caught here then they can be harmed or killed without your permission.)
The Headmistress's Office: Out of Bounds, your not allowed in unless invited, and if you deside to break in, you do so at your own risk, as the Gargoyles will curse you.
Pets
Traditionally, only an owl, cat, rat or toad were permitted as Hogwarts Familiars, but this is one area I am willing to give slack on. So long as your pet is not disruptive, dangerous or disgusting I really don't mind what manner of beast you choose to deliver your messages or comfort you while you study.
However, you will seek approval from your Head of House prior to waltzing on into school with anything out of the ordinary. Size however -IS- an issue, and nothing larger than your average schoolbag will be acceptable without approval from an admin. There was an incident recently whereby students wanted to keep a stray dog that had wandered into the school. This kind of thing will be entirely at the discretion of your Heads of House, who must all agree, and who will assign allocated caregivers to the creature, and make the necessary housing and safety measures for it.
If your chosen creature is approved, do not assume that when it one day grows big enough to take -you- for a walk, you will not be asked to relocate said creature. You will.
General Rules of Conduct
Inappropriate or disruptive behavior will not be permitted. This includes:
1. Running and yelling in the hallways or classrooms
2. Excessive public displays of affection (snogging, etc)
3. Rude or disrespectful behavior directed toward a Professor, Staff Member, or fellow student
The use of magic against another member of the school is strictly prohibited. If caught using what is learned at Hogwarts in a negative or harmful way, the student will be subject to appropriate punishment and possible suspension or expulsion, dependent upon the severity of the act.
Drugs/Alcohol
The possession of any alcoholic substance is prohibited. If a student is discovered to be under the influence of alcohol at any time, proper disciplinary measures will be taken.
Similarly, students are not allowed to posses or utilize any drug that is not related to a medical condition. If you require a specific medicinal substance, it must be prescribed by the hospital wing with proper validation of need.
