SCHOOL RULES-Not mandatory to read
ϟ Students shall not leave Hogwarts grounds.
ϟ Students may leave with the Headmaster's permission, if collected by a parent or guardian.
ϟ On the first and third weekends of each month, Third through Seventh Years may visit Hogsmeade Village with a permission slip from a parent or guardian. Students are free to travel to Hogsmeade from after breakfast on Saturday until curfew (10:00 p.m.) on Sunday. They may not leave Hogsmeade, except to return to Hogwarts.
ϟ Students are forbidden from faculty areas. This includes the kitchen, faculty lounge, and offices, unless with the escort or written permission of a faculty member. This also includes classrooms when a class is not in session.
ϟ Prefects may enter faculty areas if investigating another student violating this rule.
ϟ Students may not enter the common rooms or dormitories of houses other than their own. Each common room has a protective measure in place to restrict access. The Gryffindor Tower and Slytherin Dungeon require passwords. Ravenclaw Tower requires the answer to a riddle. The Hufflepuff Basement requires tapping a specific barrel in a particular rhythm. Attempts to bypass these protective measures by members of other houses are considered serious offences.
Boys may not enter the girls' dormitories. Attempts to do so will trigger spells preventing it, such as a Slide Spell on the staircases in the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw rooms. The one exception to this is a male Prefect in an emergency.
ϟ Students must be in their dormitories and in bed by a 10:00 p.m. curfew.
ϟ Students may not leave their house common rooms until 6:00 a.m.
ϟ Prefects may be out of bed after hours if they are scheduled for patrol duty. Prefects must still remain within the castle during patrols.
ϟ The Forbidden Forest is expressly forbidden to students without a faculty escort.
ϟ Swimming in the Black Lake is prohibited without faculty or Prefect supervision.
ϟ Boating on the lake is prohibited without faculty permission.
ϟ Students shall be in uniform at all times while on Hogwarts grounds. This includes robes, jumper, shirt, tie, slacks/skirt, shoes and socks, and gloves and scarf when necessary. All articles must be kept neat and tidy (i.e. shirt tucked in, tie worn properly, clothing washed and without excessive wrinkles).
ϟ Pointed hats are also part of the uniform, but are ceremonial in nature, and not required except at special assemblies (e.g. the Start-of-Term and End-of-Term Feasts).
ϟ Robes (but not the rest of the uniform) may be removed during non-class times (e.g. meals, after classes, weekends, etc.)
ϟ Additions to the uniform are unacceptable without special permission. Hair adornments, eyewear, and small jewelry (i.e. rings, necklaces, earrings) are exempt from this. Excessive jewelry may be confiscated by faculty.
ϟ Students may dress casually during Hogsmeade weekends, if they have permission to visit Hogsmeade.
ϟ Magic should only be used by students in relation to school work, or approved extracurricular activities.
ϟ Students may cast spells appropriate to their studies in classrooms and other study areas. Study areas include common rooms, and the Great Hall (when not being used for meals).
ϟ Magic that is not related to studies may only be cast with the permission and supervision of a faculty member, Prefect, or Head Boy/Girl.
ϟ Duelling may only be performed on the duelling stage (in the club room), under the direct supervision of a faculty member or Prefect.
ϟ Students always have the right to use magic to defend themselves, or to respond to an emergency.
ϟ Students must attend all classes and assemblies that they are scheduled for.
ϟ Only written or verbal permission from Madam Spleen or a Professor can excuse absenteeism.
ϟ Hogwarts is a boarding school full of eyes (students, faculty, ghosts, paintings, etc.), making it just about impossible to get away with playing hooky. If you skip classes, you will be caught and disciplined. Discipline consists, at the very least, of loss of house points and detention.
ϟ Swearing, snogging, shouting in the halls, vandalism, fighting, provoking Peeves, and releasing puffskeins in Mr. Pringle's office during mating season are strictly forbidden.POSSIBLE PUNISHMENTS Loss Of House PointsBeing cheeky/giving attitude -5 points
Being out after curfew -15 points
Disobedience -10 points
Fighting -20 points
Leaving school grounds without permission -50 points
Lying to a faculty member or prefect -10 points
Skipping a class -15 points
Uniform violation, minor (e.g. untucked shirt) -5 points
Uniform violation, major (e.g. missing tie) -10 points
Uniform violation, severe (e.g. out of uniform) -15 pointsDetentionDetention can vary greatly in application. In some case, a student will be assigned extra duties to assist a professor or other faculty member. One popular punishment is making students polish the numerous candelabra in the castle.
Actual corporal punishment takes place in the dungeons under the supervision of the Caretaker, and can range from paddling, to immobilization by magic, to being hung by one's wrists. Though cruel and painful, such punishments are administered under careful magical control to prevent any real harm from being done.Removal of privilegesStudents with special privileges may find them suspended or revoked for severe rule-breaking. Examples of privileges that can be removed are: Hogsmeade weekend visits, club membership, playing on the Quidditch team, Quidditch team captaincy, or even prefectship if the perpetrator is a Prefect.SuspensionThough rare, suspension from school can occur for violations that are severe, but not so severe as to warrant expulsion.ExpulsionA student will be expelled from Hogwarts only under the most dire of circumstances, and only if they are deemed a danger to other students. This punishment is extremely rare.▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅
