Diagon Alley, one of the oldest magical shopping districts in London, stretching out behind the muggle buildings with countless shops, restaurants and other attractions. Nearly anything magical you could want you can find right here.
As the sun sets, Diagon Alley lights up, still decked out in Christmas decorations and covered in slushy snow. The shoppers and partiers run a huge range, from young people in jeans, to old witches in floor length gowns. This is the place to be if you're a wizard in London tonight, and it's clear that tonight's not going to be a peaceful one.
HOW THIS WORKS:- At around 7:00 PM, Hogwarts exchange students planned to meet outside of The Leaky Coundron.
- Diagon Alley is crowded with party goers. Lights adorn the eaves of the buildings,
and witches and wizards are wandering the streets, dressed in extravagant robes.
- There's live music being played outside the Hopping Pot, a bar that faces the street.
There's drinking, dancing, and the occasional misfired charm.
- Technically you can order beer, wine and cider at 16/17, but you're supposed to have it with food and an adult. However, with the night as chaotic as it is, students shouldn't find it too hard to get their hands on some alcohol.
- At midnight, everyone sings Auld Lang Syne as fireworks are shot overhead. The magical display features creatures made of fire that swirl overhead and swoop above the guests.
- You're all free to go your own way at the end of the night, but if anyone's too
drunk, they may end up dragged home by Calvin and Ramon to wake up on an old floral sofa in Calvin's flat.
» THE HOPPING POT: This is where the party is! Several popular bands I'm too lazy to name play, and there's dancing and socialising. The seating area is outside, but the lamps and tables glow with warmth.
» THE LEAKY CAULTRON: A quieter spot, where the group of exchange students have claimed a table for themselves. Truth or shot, anyone?
» SHOPS: Most of the shops are open if anyone wants to pop in and grab something before they go back to the states. There's a
large variety, and you may be able to find some unusual things on sale after the holiday.
» GAMES: There are an assortment of fair games along the streets, where for a couple sickles you can try your hand at winning a prize.
» KNOCKTURN ALLEY: Brave, curious, or simply comfortably students might find their way down the winding alleys into the darker corner of the shopping district. Witches and wizards of a different sort are celebrating here too. The woman tending a strange little bar with no apparent name doesn't care how old you are, but her selection of drinks is strange and unfamiliar.
