School Colors: Black and White



Weather: The weather at the school and for the village reflects the weather of the cities surrounding the mountain range. The reason for this is magic, of course. Go outside the bounds of the school and you will find yourself in the true weather of the mountain tops of the Smokies. Also, the altitude while not as extreme as it would be outside fo the school bounds, it is still a bit 'thinner' in air than it is on the flat lands outside of the Mountain Range.



School Layout

The Buildings: Yes, each individual House has it's own building. And no, there are no tunnels or covered walkways in between the Buildings and the Main School. That means that your character must be prepared, or unprepared, for the weather and act accordingly if outside. Also, do to the confined nature of the small valley the school occupies in the mountains, when the school 'grows' it does not spread outward. Instead it grows upwards, adding on more floors to the existing buildings. So inside all but the Owlery and the Greenhouse there are magical elevators to take you to the floors needed.

In the Houses they are split in two once inside, one side for girls (Right Side), the other for boys (Left Side). Currently there is one floor per Grade. In each room there are only two occupants. Students do not get to choose their roommates, but instead it is chosen for them at random at the beginning of each school year. Also there is one common room for boys and girls to mingle in for each House. There are magical safe guards in place so that boys can not go into the girls side and girls can not go into the boys side. The only exception for this is Staff members. If a student tries to get past these safe guards they will be magically frozen in place as the Head of House is notified and will not be released until the head of House does so themselves.

In the Main Building the floors hold as follows:
On the first and Main floor are the kitchens, the standard Dining Hall and the Formal Dining Hall for celebrations. 2-5 are general classrooms, 2 & 3 holding the basic classes while 4 & 5 hold the specialized classrooms for third graders on up and special classrooms for Newt courses. Floor 6 holds an Olympic sized swimming pool and also various equipment for keeping in shape. Some of these pieces of equipment are reserved for Quidditch Players only, and can only be used while supervised by the Flying Instructor/Quidditch Referee. 7 & 8 holds rooms for various club and extra curricular activities. Floor 9 holds the Main Building offices for all Teachers and the Main Office for Headmistress Cooper. No matter how many floors are added on by the school the offices always remain the top-most floor.
