I figured doing it this way would be easier for me, and for the chapters to have each index.
Magical Communities within the United Kingdom and Surrounding Boarders.
Countries included in this chapter set :
Britain,Scotland,Ireland,Wales,Norway, France, Belgium and Netherlands.
Britain:
United Kingdom's Ministry of Magic
Location London
Several entrances to this MoM facility.
One being an abandoned red telephone booth.
users must dial 62442 to activate this box.
*This Entrance behaves like an elevator once activated. Muggles who touch the box would suddenly seem to remember something urgent to do and leave. If the box is in use a charm activates that twists the muggles view, making it look empty.
** This Particular Entrance is used by half-bloods or Muggleborns**
Floo Entrance Room within the Ministry:
Floo entrances are monitered. Where you come from and where you go.
Easy to twart by flooing to public places.
Underground Toilets in Whitehall.
Men and Women wix would have to quite literally flush themselves after using a gold coin which would act as a key. These toilets had a charm and runic carvings that would have them appear as out of order. Upon flushing one self you would step out of a fireplace along the left side of the Autrium. This is the main way to enter and exit the ministry.
The UK's MoM is mostly underground with the only way in and out above ground being the Red Telephone box.

Platform 9 ¾: The Hogwarts Express
In My World of Wizarding.
Hogwarts Express is a train that travels the UK to pickup students at several stops along the way. It has gone through several charms and spells as well as runic carvings that allow for it to travel using various ways.
While they did have magic and all that increasing the size of the station. To fit familys and students of all the years would have been difficult even with magic in my opinion hence this lovely adjustment.
It also gives a reason as to why it takes so long, to get to hogsmeade.
Not only does it usbut also on muggle tracks both fuctional(active) and Nonactive lines. It does not exactly travel in a straight path,but rather zig zags loosely to each location. Some locations the hogwarts express does travel across water.
The Hogwarts Express does more than just deliver the students to Hogwarts but is often used for additional trasnports such as:
the transport of Creatures from MoM to reserves.
Potions and other shipments that are either to large for owl delivery or arent rush ordered such as furniture or items that cannot be transported using house-elf magic.
The Hogwarts express also grows or shrinks in size depending on amount of cargo/students etc.
