A Week in Rural Scotland

[rainne]

Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.


This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:

In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking

In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf

We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:

1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.

If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.

How about transfiguration? Or arithmancy?

No, not transfiguration and I'm not familiar with arithmancy.

Just where exactly did you learn your magic then?

~Hermione

I was taught by the best that the Watcher's Council had to offer. Some was self taught as well.

*glares*

Exactly why are you quizzing me young lady?

Watcher's Council? Never heard of it.

*gives him her own look*

Magic is supposed to be a secret. When someone starts mentioning it in front of Muggles, I get concerned.

Muggles?

You must be from Hogwarts. No wonder you don't know about us. Dumbledore was quite upset wit us, well the former regime anyway. They wouldn't interfere in that whole Voldemort thing.

Why wouldn't they interfere?

~Hermione

Re: MAGIC CLASS

It's long and complicated, but let's just say that there were issues about the way magic was taught and the way both sides thought people with magical abilities should be sought out.

Dumbledore did make mistakes, but at least he did usually have the greater good in mind.

~Hermione

Re: MAGIC CLASS

As do I, as the new head of the Watcher's Council. Things have changed now, hopefully for the better.

-Giles

Voldemort being going for good can only help.

~Hermione

Yes, on that we can agree.
