MERLIN'S ACADEMY.
(Set beginning of Harry's fifth year) Harry is angry after being kept in the dark by Ron and Hermione, and furious with the Ministry slandering his name. So when he receives an acceptance letter to 'Merlin's Academy of Magic', he is quick to accept.
Due to a couple of people commenting that this chapter 'was a list not a story', I feel the need to point explain so I can avoid anymore 'this is not a story' reviews.
I came up with a lot of information about the story, so I decided to make the first 'chapter' of this story just for information about the story. That way people could start with the story right away in the next chapter, without having to read all the info before they got to the beginning of the story. And it also makes it easier for people if I add anything new to the 'Story info' if its all in one place, instead of being scattered throughout chapters in the story.
STORY INFO.
Harry receives his acceptance letter before the Dementor attack occurred. Since I'm not going to have him attacked, there won't be a trial - not for Harry anyway (see how mean I am giving away hints already - but what does my hint really mean? Mwahahahaha!)
Merlin's Academy.
Merlin's Academy was founded by Merlin (Duh, that's pretty obvious).
It is built on a magically protected island, which is constantly moving and is unseen by muggles; picture giant waterfalls and lakes, green grassy fields with mountains disappearing into the sky and white sandy beaches. The Academy Castle (yes, it's still going to be a castle) is built on top of the tallest mountain, surrounded by clouds, made from yellow sienna marble with stained glass windows.
The academy can only be accessed by a series of hidden portals that can only be used if a person is wearing a 'Academy Medallion', which is sent to potential students with their acceptance letter.
Merlin's Academy students are allowed to use /practice magic outside school, so long as there are no muggles present (or if the muggles present know of the existence of magic; although it is usually limited to immediate family - parents/guardians and brother/sisters)
Students can remain at the Academy for Holidays (including during the Summer)
Students and teachers at Merlin's Academy can use either a wand, or a staff; a staff is made from the same components as a wand (with the inclusion of magically spelled semi-precious stones/crystals fixed to the top of the staff) and has the same capabilities as a wand, but can also be used as a weapon on its own; without the use of magic, and can cast stronger/more powerful spells than wands.
Merlin's Academy School Rules
1) The use of offensive spells to inflict harm on another student is strictly forbidden.
2) Students are expected to, and responsible for keeping pets under control at all times.
