The Story

It has been nearly eight centuries since the downfall of Tom Riddle, better known as Lord Voldemort. The creation of a new Wizarding school took place fifty years after the Last Battle. The founders, the three surviving participants of the Tri Wizard Tournament.
It was named The Diggory School of Magic by its founders, Harry Potter, Victor Krum, and Fluer Delacour, after their fallen friend. Over time the school has grown, becoming international. It brings young witches and wizards from America, England, France, Bulgaria, Germany, Australia, Japan, and Canada.
It is located in the heart of America in a large stone castle, much like Hogwarts. It is hidden in the mountains of Colorado, the location is ideal being placed right at the point where a river meets a large lake. It is hidden completely from muggles by both magic, and the ideal location.
The classes are the same as those that Hogwarts offers to its students. Some classes aren’t allowed until your third year, just as they are at the London school.
Quidditch is played not between houses in the school, but between the North American schools themselves. The Diggory School has won the Continental Cup three years in a row, beating Salem Witch School, Canada Institute of Magic, and Dallas School for Wizards, in that order. They play not only those three but also The Alaskan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Ontario House of Magic, Mexico’s School of Magical Arts, and The Oregon Institute. At the end of the year, if they have won the cup once again, they will enter the World Cup as the International Team.
In the school there are no houses as there are in Hogwarts but dorms for both the guys, and the girls. The dorms are located across the castle from each other, but the opposite sex is allowed in each, only through the common rooms though. In saying there are no houses that doesn’t mean the students don’t pick friends. Most are in tightly knit groups, having known each other since they started attending, and don’t mix well with other groups. There are the occasional fights, but punishment is always in order.

_____The head master of the school stood, his arm crossed and feet spread shoulder width, looking out over the front steps as students began trickling in in small groups, or alone in some cases. The professor had his hair spiked in the front as he did most days, and looked as if he hadn't shaved in a couple days. His face was scragely and he looked tired. His mouth was set in a stern line across his face, going from cheek to cheek.

_____Just then a young student, no more than a third year, ran up the steps, tripping as he reached the top. When he looked up he was right above the tough looking head master. "I-I'm sorry s-sir. I w-won't run anym-more. I pr-promise." he studdered, hoping to avoid punishment. "If I see it again, it's detention with me. Now get along." Once the boy scurried up the hallway and out of sight the transfiguration's teacher pulled his wand and a small metal rod from his pocket. He muttered a spell and turned it to a goblet, it instantly filled with a clear liquid, water.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


_____Lysander approached the school, he carried only one book in his inner cloak pocket after dropping his trunk and owl off into the carriage that would bring them up later. The stone pathway was a bit slick after the rain of the night before. He had come in last night, staying at a local tavern and room rental. He wore his school robes with the sleeves pulled up just over his elbows. His robes were crimson red, since they were required to be red he took what shade into his own hands. On the left side of his chest sat a dark blue, decorative 'D', the school's logo.

____As he looked up the path and to the entrance of the school he saw the young boy trip, the head master speak, and the boy hurry off towards where he was going, which was more than likely the dormitories. As Lysander ascended the stairs he spoke to small groups, giving a nod or flick of the wrist. When he reached the professor he extended his hand, shaking it as he had every year since he came here, and continued to the large co-ed common room in the center of the building.

Look and watch. You'll miss something if you dont.

Vicky was walking up to the school. Her luggage was there already minus here change of robes and Cookie who was slinking off some place possibly catching crows again. Her wand was lit with the lumose spell so she could see. As she was getting closer she had wondered if Jason and Ly were back for their 6th year. She heard rumors from the girls in there year that Jason may go back to London. But for Ly all they said was he and Jason were tied for the 'top 10 hottest boys in school' list. Sighing she had wondered if they had changed. Walking up the steps past the teachers and head master she made it quickly to the common room. Cookie right behind her.

She saw Ly immediately when she walked in. But she was still in muggle clothing. So off she went to the girl dormitory to change. The room was empty besides a few pets. Cookie eyes them all with greedy eyes. As soon she was done changing into her robes she went back down and walked up to Ly. "Hey Ly! Good summer?" She said looking at him. He had grown the last time she'd seen him or was it she who stopped growing?

Kristen approached the school, without being laden down with stuff. Her trunk and owl were in the carriage that would bring them up later. Currently she was bored, just walking to the common room all by herself when she looked around for one of two things. The twins or some cute boy that she could flirt with, either of those two would keep her occupied for a little while. She spotted the twins first and stopped by the head master of the school, not even realizing who she was standing next to. The twins were further down the steps arguing with each other and fighting about something or another again.

Tom was currently arguing with his twin brother Tom. He had hit on a girl that apparently Bill had his eye on or something. "Will ya shut up ya dumpkopf, we're nearing the school and I see Kris. Besides its not like she responded or anything." They were nearing Kris and the head master as Tom rolled his eyes at his twin. He didn't see what the big deal was, all's fair in love and war right? Or is that another american euphemism that he just got wrong again... Was he even using euphemism right (no XD)

Bill crossed his arms over his chest and turned his head, flicking tom in the side of his head with a dread. "Schiesse, Tom you know I was going to flirt with her. And Kris doesn't mind us arguing since we do it all the time." That got a smack on the head from Tom. "Damn It Tomi!" He whined quietly rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head.
