The Hogwarts 7

1. The Restricted Section of the Library

Things to consider: Filch, Mrs. Norris, those books that howl at you when you open them, your partner being a Voldemort-wannabe and only hooking up with you to figure out how to make horcruxes.

2. The Great Hall

Things to consider: House elves, unpredictable weather patterns of the enchanted ceiling.

3. Middle of the Quidditch Field

Things to consider: Madame Hooch, late-night quidditch practices, bludgers-gone-rogue.

4. Room of Requirement

Things to consider: Vanishing cabinets, Fiendfyre, Dumbledore's Army meetings, other couples with similar "requirements," Professor Umbridge and the Inquisitorial Squad.

5. Dumbledore's Office

Things to consider: Passwords, Fawkes, headmaster portrait peeping Toms and Dumbledore's stash of licorice snap.

6. Top of the Astronomy Tower

Things to consider: Cold drafts, fear of heights, Dark Marks.

7. Forbidden Forest

Things to consider: Unicorns, centaurs, Aragog, and anything you can find in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Hagrid taking Fang out for a midnight stroll, Hagrid taking Madame Maxime out for an afternoon delight.

Bonus points: The cupboard under the stairs. Make it to Privet Drive and win my affection. (Platonic affection, that is.)

Author's Note: Invisibility cloak strongly suggested.
