Welcome to HPDetective's website!

Steve Vander Ark told a story the 1st night of Sectus about the actual location of Hogwarts!  After hearing this story, of course David (my new friend from Sectus)and I had to check it out!  So, off we went to discover Hogwarts!  Below is the proof that we were there!

The road to Hogwarts!  As you can see it was a beautiful day.  The compass went haywire as the train drew closer to Rannoch AKA Hogsmeade Station.  (A clear sign that we were very close to our destination.)

Here is Hogsmeade Station.  Clearly it is deserted because typically it is only used when the students arrive and depart.  David and I were the only people for miles.  The mountains surrounding Hogwarts are visible from here.
The 1st muggle repelling charm.  Confuse us, so that we don't get on the right path.  Unfortunately, Slytherin created this one, and he assumed that all muggles are stupid.  We outsmarted him!

This is the memorial to Godric Gryffindor!  Yes, I am aware that the sign in the picture has a different name.  Just think of the War Memorial in Godric's Hallow which changes when a witch or wizard views it.

The path to Hogwarts.  Here you can see the mountains and the lake.

The Forbidden Forest!  Do you think that you can walk inside?

Are you sure?  Remember, there are werewolves inside, not just Centuars and Unicorns!

Excellent!  We have found the boats Hagrid uses to take the first years to Hogwarts!  But how are we going to get there without Hagrid?
If you squint, you can see Hogwarts in the distance...I am also very happy to report that the giant squid is friendly and there are no inferi in this water.  Yes, I put my hand in just to check.
Alas, just as David was gazing at Hogwarts and the hippogriff in the distance, they realized that muggles had gotten too close.  So, they drove us out with sheets of rain. :(

More Proof

We found Neville's toad, Trevor!  Caught him too!  Unfortunately, they still would not let us into the castle!

And Kevin's slug...
 

Threstral tracks

Also a village of goblins...Look the sign is even in gobbledgook.

Undeniable Proof

We discovered what Kreacher is doing now!  He did turn out to be an excellent cook in Book 7.

The story of Rannoch and its magical history...  Witches, wizards, and ghosts.  Sounds like Hogwarts to me...

Finally, the story about how hinkypunks will attempt to lead you astray!  Read the 1st paragraph, it will tell you all about it.
