Thanks Jamie!!

The school year was about to begin, and the teachers were eagerly awaiting the first group of students in the Grand Hall. Katrina had, of course, enchanted the castle such that it was entirely unplottable. The only way to arrive at the castle was by ship, and only one ship could pass through the waters that surrounded the grounds. Reinwille had been given the duty of bringing back the ship with the new students from the muggle harbor where they were picked up. They were a noisy bunch of students, all around the age of 11. This first class would go seven years through Durmstrang before graduation, to become the finest witches and wizards in the land. They were inevitably antsy, and during the voyage many asked Reinwille about the manner in which Durmstrang would be run. Reinwille tried her best to ignore some of the protests, and silenced the students when she told them of the plans she had for the Charms class she would be teaching. Then she warned them of Glaezand, who was an infinitely charming woman, but expected nothing short of brilliance of her Arithmancy students. She told them that Schlauwer was the Dark Arts teacher, who was more than willing to use her powers for whatever means necessary. The Divinations teacher, Starkend, she told them often acted aloof but was anything but.

And so the years went. For seventeen years, the four women taught their classes. Inevitably, students seemed to excel in one class. The most popular students soared through Charms with little trouble, and the success in Arithmancy inevitably depended on how many hours the students logged in the library. The most cunning students excelled in the Dark Arts classroom, and the most passionate students were best in the art of divinations. Most students managed to do sufficiently well in potions, transfiguration, dueling, history, and all the other classes.

But, after seventeen years, unrest was forming beyond Schlauwer and Starkend. The other teachers wanted students separated by their talents, to better suit their lessons to them. Katrina was forced to look more carefully at the issues of power, friendship, passion, intelligence, and most importantly, unity. Katrina decided it be best to call another meeting to order.
