Aurala Magic Academy
Aurala Magic Academy is one of the newer schools of witchcraft and wizardry, and thus have not collected a lot of renown or respect from the surrounding wizarding countries. Placed in the small country of Denmark in the centre of Scandinavia, many have never even heard of it, despite the wizards there usually being very talented.
Aurala draws many similarities to Hogwarts, a wizarding school of the Great Britain, possibly inspired by the older school. Like Hogwarts, Aurala has four houses, each represented by an animal, anmed Kruckow(Stag), Koldings(Fox), Spliid(Swan) and Palles(Squirrel). These houses compete for the prestigious House Cup at the end of the year, as well as the school's Quidditch cup.
The academy was founded by several witches and wizards during the late middle ages, to support the growing number of wizards and witches existing within Denmark. The school itself is a giant underground "castle", with several known entrances across the country. The only part of the academy that is above ground is the school's Quidditch stadium, and a few old buildings for classes that cannot be taken properly underground, and the Kruckow House. These parts are surrounded by large forests filled with magic to keep muggles out.
A little about the school:
- Aurala takes five years to finish, students starting on their eighth school year and finishing by their twelfth.
- Counting the above ground parts of the academy, Aurala has a total of five levels
- Unlike most other countries, wizards and witches, no matter their blood status, are expected to have attended Muggle schools until they enter Aurala, in order to better understand the Muggle world. Because of this, Muggle Studies have been removed from this academy's list of classes.
- Due to events during the recent years, theaAcademy has seen a rising number of British students.
