Now I know that Durmstrang, was... is an impressive school. It also has a reputation amongst many for being a pro Dark Arts school. We chose Durmstrang Academy because we had known various people such as Viktor Krum that went there and several colleagues of Charlie's in Romania. Lucius is also known to have chosen it as a possible school for Draco. Karkaroff was no longer head master and I was able to get a good understanding about the school from my elvish cousin.

It is actually a very good school. You can read more in "Durmstrang Academy".
Why did we not decide to send Severina there? Well she may well be the Granddaughter of Tom M. Riddle, but she is also a Weasley. I may be pulling at a few strings but eleven years has made a big difference. Just ask the Potters.

On the 1st of September we went to Stockholm, Sweden where a ship was waiting to take the students to the school. I remembered it being very much like the one that came to Hogwarts and Charlie felt the same. The port is very large and accommodates many cruise ships. It was just unfortunate that the school wasn't far from the dragons we were working with. We were the youngest people there, except for some siblings saying goodbye. It was a wonderful day.
