The year was 1692, the place was Salem, Massachusetts & the infamous salem witch trials were being held. The gravel slammed down as the judge tried to get the court back under his control. "Order! Order!" He screamed, until the courtroom fell to a dead silence before he spoke again. "We are gathered here to find weither Ms. Sarah Good is a witch or not" Again the courthouse went up in an up roar, Sarah Good sat quietly in the witness chair as she awaited her questioning again. In the back of the court house sat a man, about 64 or so, fagile but yet quiet, he sat there with his daughter, she quietly sat there knitting a new blanket, her belly was already swelling bigger than it did last month. Shaking his head the old man turned to his daughter and spoke quietly so no one could here. "This is ridiculous, Marie. They know damn well that woman isn't one of us". Marie, as known turned to her father, and scolded him, "Hush father, or you could be next." Marie shook her head and returned to her knitting.
By the end of the trial, Sarah Good, an innocent woman was found guilty of witchcraft and being in contact of the devil. She was carted away to the hill to be exicuted. Marie & her father, Arthur left the court house, and returned home, to ipswich to tell the others of what the trial had consisted of. Patrica & Micheal were already awaiting outside Marie's house by the time the horse & carriage showed up. Micheal helped Marie down, as Arthur got down himself, smiling at Patrica. As soon as the four were inside, Patrica being the last one in, locked the door and pulled the shutters close, lighting a few candles just enough for them to see.
Arthur was the first to speak, "Its defiantly getting out of control, this is the second person they accused and sent to exicution in a week." He shook his head, getting himself a glass of homemade brandy, before sitting down. Marie nodded, "its true. by the end of the year, they'll have half of salem in capture if their not careful." Micheal spoke up, "But what about us, or the children?" Arthur shook his head, "there is nothing to worry about Micheal, they're getting those who contribute most to the town, but that would mean you and Marie have to stop your medicine, at least till this is over". Everything went quiet, that was the first of many secret meetings these four real witches of salem & ipswich had.
September 1692 came around, things started to quickly die down, but the four were typically fed up of them having to be in hiding all the time. At one meeting Patrica brought up a wonderful idea that would bring those in the community closer than ever. "Why don't we create a school for those in this realm of magic to be able to learn in private without having to be harassed." Both Arthur & Micheal looked at Patrica until Marie spoke up. Holding a new born in her arms, she agree'd smiling and nodding her head, "That would be a fabulous idea, but there is only the four of us, soon enough it will grow."
That was the beginning though of the Ipswich academy. Now the four houses are based around each of the founders personality. Unlike their brotherin' school of Hogwarts, purebloods are not restricted to just one house, it just depends on your personality. So enjoy your time at Ipswich but becareful not to inform the muggles of who you are, there will be consiquences to pay.
Will you join in with your classmates or stay on the sidelines? The decision is up to you!
