Quad Battlements (Minecraft Hogwarts)

The Quad Battlements is a short defense station in Hogwarts Castle, where one side overlooks the Quads, while the other overlooks the ravine and the Viaduct, and the Viaduct Courtyard. It can be accessed from a fourth-floor landing on the Grand Staircase. Just directly above it is a corridor, potentially leading to the Hall of Hexes, which can be accessed from the Top (Seventh) Floor landing of the Grand Staircase on the backhand side.
== History ==
=== 1997 ===
The Battlement Quads is magically created
=== 1998 ===
Severus Snape is seen overlooking the Viaduct from here, watching a group of students marching across the courtyard.
==== The Battle of Hogwarts ====
During the Battle of Hogwarts (1998), they were heavily damaged, with parts of the floor falling in, revealing the corridors below.
=== 2006 ===
This place was used as a hideout for all serial "sex offenders" to the Ministry of Magic, where they, especially students, hide with their victims to prey them. Professor McGonagall, with the assistance of Kingsley Shacklebolt, made it off-limits to all students, and can only be accessed in Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons and other duties. These assaults still happen in this area, but teachers (especially Filch) caught students molesting in there. This would later be more strict in the beginning of the 2021-22 school year.
=== 2019 ===
[redacted] will sometimes stand guard on the first window looking over the Viaduct Bridge during his shift once. When [redacted] was told to remain off classes because of his health, he stands guard at the Battlement Quads, but this time, overlooking the Suspension Bridge and the Astronomy Tower Courtyard.
Staff such as Amycus and Alecto Carrow, when the Ministry was hijacked, were also not allowed access to the battlements, because of its disturbing history, and Professor Snape, per Dumbledore's request, cannot trust them up in there.
=== 2021 ===
Following the attack on Harry Potter's daughter and at the beginning of the subsequent terror of Fenrir Greyback, Professor McGonagall has tightened security on the battlement Quads again. Only this time, making it inaccessible to all students and most staff, and only approved law enforcement agents and senior staff were permitted. It is unknown whether it will be re-opened again.
== Behind the Scenes ==
* The Quad Battlements holds the highest amount of renovations to date during the snapshots for Release 2.0
* In Hogwarts and the Surrounding Areas map for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, there is only one side looking out to the ravine, and the platforms are coated in blue and white carpet. It is also located just above the Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom, but this is understandable because PoeticWhisper wanted to fill space.
** This will likely no longer be the case in his Legacy project.
