This is not an RP, but more of a club with classes.
An Expanded World!
Welcome to Wizard School International!
The schools of Mahoutokoro, Uagadou, Castelobruxo, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Illvermorny have been added to the Roster:
A bit about each of the schools:
Mahoutokoro:
Where is it?
This ornate jade palace sits on top of the volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima in Japan. Great, unless youre afraid of heights.
Why should you go there?
Mahoutokoro isnt a boarding school like Hogwarts, so students are transported there every day on a flock of giant storm petrels. Pretty good if you enjoy your home life.
Pros:
Mahoutokoro has a very passionate Quidditch culture, to the extent that the entire Japanese team cites their time at the school as the reason for being so darn good. Pupils also receive enchanted robes that grow in size as they get older, and change colour the more experienced they get. If theyre brilliant, they go gold. Pretty good, and saves a bit of cash from not having to buy new robes every year.
Cons:
If you ever engage in illegal practices (you know, Voldemort-levels of Dark magic, for example) your robes will betray you and turn white resulting in instant expulsion and a trial.
Anything else I should know?
There is a neighbouring Muggle airbase nearby, so be careful of that.
Uagadou:
Where is it?
The Mountains of the Moon, somewhere in Uganda. Youll figure it out.
Why should you go there?
For one, its the largest of all wizarding schools. Its also a good place for all-rounders: Uagadou promotes wizarding prowess in Astronomy, Alchemy and Transfiguration.
Pros:
The school got a bit of a reputation for the quality of its younger students, many of whom are already adept Animagi. If we were kids, wed obviously want to turn into animals as soon as possible so, yes please.
Cons:
Although African witches and wizards do use wands, the school encourages spells to be cast with hand gestures. Fair enough, but wands are just cool, arent they? Lessons are way harder.
Anything else I should know?
If you are accepted into Uagadou, Dream Messengers will appear to you as you sleep and leave an inscribed stone in your hand. Sweet dreams!
Castelobruxo:
Where is it?
In Brazil, hidden deep within the rainforest.
Why should you go there?
Seeing as Castelobruxo is in South America, a lot of its students thrive in nature-based subjects, such as Herbology and Magizoology. So if youre green-fingered or an animal lover, this one is for you.
Pros:
A lot Castelobruxos ex-students are famous, which bodes well: Libatius Borage, the author of Advanced Potion-Making, and Joo Coelho, captain of the world-renowned Quidditch team the Tarapoto Tree-Skimmers, both attended.
Cons:
Furry spirit-beings called the Caipora protect the schools grounds, but are known to be mischievous. Basically, its like hundreds of mini-Peeves flying all about the place.
Anything else I should know?
The school has a popular exchange-student programme for European schools, so the culture there is bound to be bountiful.
Beauxbatons:
Where is it?
Beauxbatons resembles a beautiful chateau, thought to be located somewhere in the Pyrenees.
Why should you go there?
If you like your magic served with a dash of savoir faire, this school is for you. Beauxbatons welcomes a multitude of students of different nationalities, mainly French, but also Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Luxembourgian and Belgian.
Pros:
The castle is said to be stunning and features a magical fountain believed to have healing and beautifying properties now its this kind of thing that makes us want to be part of an institution.
Cons:
Not much, to be honest. Although judging by Fleur Delacour, the pampered ways of the Beauxbatons lifestyle may leave you guilty of complaining about other schools and general showboating.
Anything else I should know?
The man who gave us the Philosophers Stone, Nicolas Flamel, attended Beauxbatons and met his beloved Perenelle Flamel there. In fact, that cool fountain we mentioned is named after the couple. Makes sense the Flamels were very much the pioneers of everlasting youth.
Durmstrang:
Where is it:
You tell us. Memory charms erase any recollection of its whereabouts to visitors, but we believe its in Sweden or Norway.
Why should you go there?
Youll certainly hear a few interesting stories at Durmstrang, seeing as this is the school that Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was expelled from. It is known that they only accept those of half-or-pure blood.
Pros:
If youre not a fan of the academic, this school is known for embracing the more physical side of wizardry, such as duelling and martial magic. Also, it has a cool ship.
Cons:
The school has got a bit of a bad reputation, and not just because it produced Grindelwald. Ex-headmaster (not to mention ex-Death Eater) Igor Karkaroff cast a cloud of intimidation over the school during his tenure, too. It also sounds pretty cold there, judging by the fact that Durmstrang students are often shrouded in furs.
Anything else I should know?
This is where Quidditch ace and Triwizard champion Viktor Krum hailed from so the school doesnt just churn out bad pennies.
Illvermorny:
Where is it:
Mount Greylock, USA.
Why should you go there:
If you fancy living a Hogwarts-style life across the pond. The founder of Ilvermorny, Isolt Sayre, always wished she could go to Hogwarts, and the school definitely seems to embody some of its traditions.
Pros:
Ilvermorny has a rich history and proves that anyone can make it if they believe in themselves, just like Sayre. The school also has cool houses you can join, represented by native magical creatures: Wampus, Pukwudgie, Thunderbird and Horned Serpent.
Cons:
Theres a lot to love about Ilvermorny and its democratic spirit, although we suppose you wont like the schools robes if you dont like the colour blue.
NOTE:
Positions have changed, due to the schools. Animagi must be an earned status. You start at Year 1 (Your age will depend on age of admition. Any staff will have to send a sample lesson via PM.
