Courtyard

The courtyard, sometimes referred to as the Miss Cam Courtyard, is a unique location in the middle of Headquarters that provides relief from the stark, enclosed corridors. It is not widely known, but people known to visit it regularly include the Marquis de Sod and the Sunflower Official, various Trees, Agent Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill, and Alice,  who actually lives there with a herd of other equines rescued by various agents over the years (see below). It has at least once been a battlefield, during the invasion of the Black Cats. It is also used by the Sprout Movement for some achievement badge exercises.

The courtyard is large enough for a herd of horses and a pack of wolves to live in it comfortably. It is largely grassy and contains a few footpaths and scattered benches and trees, including a large crab-apple suitable for sitting under while eating lunch and telling stories. There are also some rocks and ferny patches. It has a sky, though whether it's really open to the outdoors somewhere or if it's something like the ceiling in Hogwarts' great hall is unknown. It is watered by a shallow, stony rill that winds its way through the grass from a small, spring-fed pond at the top of a rise.
