In the Harry Potter series, it is mentioned that there are two schools (like Hogwarts) located in the United States. The only one mentioned is Salem Witches' Institute. So, to broaden our veiw on the Wizarding World, welcome to Dragonsfire Academy of Magical Learnings and Teachings!
Story so far:
Dragonsfire is suspected to be located somewhere off the coast of New York City on a private island that is Unplottable. The school also has high marks as the 2nd most prestigious school for young magical students, just underneath the acclaimed Hogwarts in Britain.
Instead of getting to the school by train, the students of Dragonsfire Academy can choose a series of airports to get to the main port for the ferry boat to take them out to the island. In all the major cities (with the exception of New York) like L.A., Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, etc... the airports have secret terminals for the magical students. Finally meeting at the ferry, they set out for the 25 miles by 25 miles island.
The castle looks like this.
- This is a view from the ocean. Behind the castle is the forest, the Quidditch Pitch and various other buildings on the grounds.
• Courtyard.
- This is the garden in the center of the castle. It's a nice respite from school worries in between classes.
• Dragonscale
- Close to the castle is the local town of Dragonscale, most students visit this place often. There are various stores and shops open year round. This would be the equivilant to Hogsmeade at Hogwarts.
• Verboten Room.
- This is a room in Dragonsfire where students are forbidden to enter for unknown reasons.
The headmistress for Dragonsfire is Professor Rebecca Nuual. She is extremely young for a headmistress but her wit and sage decisions make up for her age. In ways, she acts very much like the late Professor Dumbledore from Hogwarts. She is the first headmistress in wizarding history to be of African-American heritage. Rebecca Nuual
The houses compare like this:
Falconsflight- Gryffindor
Spidersilk- Ravenclaw
Pixiewing- Hufflepuff
Nifflertail- Slytherin
How to choose your house:
Take this quiz and follow by whatever answer you got and match it with the corresponding House of Dragonsfire. Click here for the test.
On the Dragonsfire grounds, electronics and such devices are able to work unlike at Hogwarts. For example, a student can bring an iPod or an alarm clock if they wish. Anything electronic is acceptable!
The uniforms look like this.
A color of either red, blue, green, or gold (depending upon the House) and in the style of choice.
Throughout this RP, I plan to have some action like Quidditch matches or fights with Death Eaters or any other suspensful plot I can think of! If you wish to have just a normal school day, repeating the same schedual over and over, this RP is not for you.
My character as well as the layout for all of your characters as well. You may either choose to be a student or a professor.
Although your characters are already posted on this forum, please repost them with the information as follows.
---------------------------------
Name: Natalie Brice
Nickname: Nat
Age: 16
Year: 6
House: Falconsflight
Appearance: Natalie
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Known Family: Mary Brice (mother) Joe Brice (father), 4 older brothers: Joe Jr. "J.J." (27), Mike (22), William (19), Drew (17)
Personality: She has plenty of courage and intellect, but sometimes she fools around too much getting her in trouble. She’s caring, protective, stubborn, funny, athletic, etc... She also hasn’t tapped into her full potential of power that she posesses. At times, Natalie can get really competetive and angry. When people don't try their best and give up, she feels that they cheated themselves. She hardly ever gives up and is extremely optimistic.
Skills: Extremely skilled in Quidditch. She’s the Seeker as well as captain of the team. She also saved up her money to buy a Firebolt. Before she came to Dragonsfire, she was very active in soccer and still plays it often.
Wand: Unicorn Hair, Willow, 10 inches
Magical Pet: Her dog named Elie. Elie is a Australian Sheperd/ Black Lab mix. Elie can change into any shape or form she wishes. She can change into a tin can, or even an exact look-alike to Natalie!
Strong and weak magical skills: Very strong in levitation and summoning spells as well as Defense Against the Dark Arts. Natalie is weak in potions. She’s also mastered conjuring up a Patronus. It’s in the form of a dragon. She loves the Astronomy classes and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.
Biography: Natalie is a Muggle-born. When she got the letter from Headmistress Nuual, she was introduced to the world of wizards and witches. She was also the first in her entire family (extended and all) to be accepted to the school. In her first year, she was also appointed Quidditch Seeker for her House. Before she went to Dragonsfire, she went to a public school in Manhattan. When she switched to her new school, she missed a lot of her old friends; but she soon gained new friends and lost touch with many of her old ones. But she still kept in touch with her long time childhood friend, Ethan. They went out with each other for a year but she broke it off because of the long distance issues. Nat never told Ethan about her double-life, always telling him she was going to a bording school with a soccer scholarship. She has kept her eye on boys at Dragonsfire but she's too nervous to ask any of them out.
Likes: All kinds of sports, reading, star gazing, writing, watching movies, listening to music, etc...
Dislikes: Her shyness to ask boys out. Also, she isn't very fond of spiders.
Hobbies: Astrology, Quidditch, and soccer
