Here we are at Diagon Alley, where you can expect to find stuff to prepare for a trip to Platform 9 and Three Quarters and all that jazz.

As you can see, this is also the place where one can expect to begin rebuilding Diagon Alley, because as you can see a lot of damage has been done during the war itself and we are trying to help pick the pieces back up, which is often why you may hear of rumors of a lot of the Veterans of the War against Voldemort taking up Paid Military Employment from other factions.

Potter-world residents willing to help rebuild Diagon Alley may wish to gather in this thread for news of where to begin on construction-based regards, so do you have any questions?
Speak now or hold your tongue.

I suppose my first question is this.

Is our Hogsmeade supported by Hogwarts, or is it the other way around?
If it's the former; potions shops, bookstores, things that Hogwarts would need because the school finances the town.
If it's the latter; clothing shops, newspaper, essentials to start up a residential town because Hogwarts is financed by Hogsmeade.

I'd try to think of it as some kind of co-existence going on at play whereas both tend to trade their stocks and supplies with each other if that makes sense.

I did recall that there's a Joke Shop or two at Hogsmede as well as a Candy store during Harry's 3rd year, but I don't recall if that was in the books or just in the movies though.

Its a vital concern but we are also focusing on regards to Diagon Alley at the moment, which is another vital town to note.

Newspapers will be vital if they're noting on the rumors of the Outside world regardless, though provided they're very accurate, and I can see the Quibbler reporting outside world news if necessary.
