The portal that led back to Archie and Dora's world was still present within the beach cave. Ocassionally a glint of light would catch an edge and give the impression that something was there but for the most part it is difficult to spot.

Upon stepping through it, you find yourself no longer feeling soft sand beneath your feet but rock and dirt. You are still in a cave but it is darker, with no seabreeze wafting pleasantly through it. Archie explains that the cave is one of several in the mountains that are on the outskirts of the village of Hogsmeade - the only all-wizarding village in Britain. The same mountains that surround Hogwarts castle.

It isn't a long walk to the village but apparating would be quicker (of course, you can't apparate into Hogwarts). It is up to you if you wish to learn first hand how it feels to be 'forced through a very tight rubber tube' but do expect to throw up on your first side-along.

The Village of Hogsmeade is still a popular visit for Hogwarts students, so expect to see third to seventh years excitedly running around and probably a few Hogwarts staff in the Three Broomsticks or the Hog's Head enjoying a drink or five. The latter of which used to have a tunnel to the Room of Requirement within Hogwarts, however, this was destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts eight years ago. There are plenty of shops and places to visit.

As well as living in Hogsmeade, Archie used to work as a barman at the Three Broomsticks before the Seconding Wizarding War so he has a good relationship with Madam Rosmerta and a lot of villagers. Which should help with supply gathering and assuring people that the newcomers are not dark wizards or some such.

Note about paths: Through hogsmeade they are paved and flat - sloping in places and most doorways are street level. The roads from Hogsmeade station towards Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are pretty flat or windy, country path style but bear in mind the carriages pulled by thestrals go along them to hogswarts so they probably aren't too bumpy. The mountain paths are probably not ideal for Jake's chair so he may have to brave side-along apparition.
Nexus side, sandy beach and sandy, little bit cobbly cave interior.

	Harry was headed straight to the cave he'd watched the smaller wizard emerge from. This place was pretty sparse and as more people arrived they needed to find more food and supplies. He was hardly averse to wandering into the unknown, so this didn't bother him at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Jake had told Maggie that he was going to go to the cave, so that was what he was doing. Tommy was able to tell him where the cliffs were, other than just "on the beach", so Jake knew it wasn't going to be sand the whole way. Just... enough that he'd struggle.

"Fuck," he muttered to himself, once he'd gotten as far as he could. Was he going to have to get out and drag both himself and his chair along the sand? He coughed a couple of times since his chest still wasn't 100% (75%, 80%, it was almost all the way, right? So it was okay to be out and doing stuff), and then tried one last time to keep going with his chair.

	Harry strode over to the figure he spotted struggling on the beach. "Help?" He asked. He didn't mince his words who do sympathy. He'd got sick of it himself when he'd fucked his hand up, so he avoided it himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fucking hell, this guy was tall. Jake looked up (and up) at him, then glanced down at his stuck wheels. "Uh, yeah. Please." He was as txanvar as they came, but even he could admit when he was stuck. Sometimes. "My wheels ain't too good in conditions like this, but I wanted to see this cave thing that was being talked about on the network," he explained. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uhhh... what? "Yeah, I've gone on glass floors before and the wheels grip fine. Why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Forzore!" Harry belted a long gout of flame, cutting a route in the sand to the cave, muttering a word to the soulfire in his staff to cool the resulting molten sand down, to form a slightly odd looking glass path. "It'll still be bumpy, quick job, but it should be easier." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
