Centuries ago, when the world was new, there was a confederation of Wizards. Long ago, there was a meeting of those wizards about a wizarding school. Back in that time, there was no school for young wizards. They either taught themselves or were taught by parents. Most wizards had learned very few spells at the age of sixteen, when a wizard was officially named a true, full-grown man or woman. Now, one wizard, Arthure Durmes, decided that it was time for a change. And at the meeting, he stated his ideas.
"Proposterous!" yelled out Kingsley Mortingler, a wizard in the confederation, after Durmes had stated his idea.
"Farfetched!" yelled out Amerila Dillings, a witch in the group.
"I... think it just might work", said Nathaniel Strunginger. Nathaniel was the head of the confederation, which meant he made all the decisions, "Imagine. A school for all of our children to learn. We will appoint the best for teachers, and the greatest to be headmaster. This school shall work."
And work it did, as no one would contradict Nathaniel.
Many centuries later
Amy looked at the clock in the potions room. Twenty more minutes to go. She spun back around to her table rather quickly, spilling her Draught of Peace upon herself.
"Eww..." Murmured Amy as she wiped away the puss on her robe.
"Is there a problem Miss Anderson?" snapped Professor Serington, the Potions master, at young Amy. Stuttering, Amy replied with a no.
She looked around for someone that would loan her a new vial. While searching, her eyes fell upon an all-too familiar portrait.
Arthur Durmes, she read along the bottom of the portrait, The First Headmaster of Durmstrang. Amy sighed to herself, still staring at the portrait. She then snapped to attention and tapped her neighbor for a vial.
This is the school of Durmstrang, much like Hogwarts. However, there are of course, different teachers.
Teachers:
Potions: Professor Serington (male)
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Professor Kirin (male)- Taken
Transfiguration: Professor Dames (female)-Taken
Herbology: Professor Geraldi (male)
Charms: Professor Kimball (female)
Divination: Professor Sheridan (female)-Taken
Care of Magical Creatures: Professor Kerilellogram (male)- Taken
Astrology: Professor Himik (male)
Arithmancy: Professor Jurky (female)
Ancient Runes: Professor Consalez (male)- Taken
Muggle Studies: Professor Urich (male)
Forgive me if I've forgotten any classes. Each year in Durmstrang, there is what is called the 'Durmstrang trials'. These are somewhat like exams. In each class, a trial is held. It is an obstacle course that can only be passed using the most difficult charms the students are taught each year. This RP begins right as the students arrive at Durmstrang for the year. This does NOT begin on the train. Oh, and you can be a student or a teacher. However, if you are a teacher, your surname, gender and subject is already picked out for you. The teachers with "Taken" written next to them have already been taking for characters.

I don't wish for this RP to become too active, so there can only be two students per house. I will take care of all teachers not chosen as characters. Oh, and I will also be making schedules for everybody, so you all know when your classes will be held. After I send them to you, please post your schedules here so you may coordinate them with other players if you wish to walk to class together, etc. Teachers will also recieve schedules telling them what classes they will be teaching. You will only attend a certain class once a week, unless you have under 4 extra classes. If you have under four, you will recieve more than one class of the same subject. There are also MANY free hours per week to practice for the Durmstrang Trials. Anyone being caught not practicing during the free time will have all free hours taken away, and extra classes added in their place.
