Beware the Dogs

Durmstrang is the place where legends are made. It's nestled away into the mountain ranges of far northern Norway, with towers that hide dragon nests in their gables, and castle grounds that bury long forgotten ghosts beneath frost-hardened dirt. Snow layers the earth, weighs heavy on the black-bricked roofs, and suffocates any sense of individuality beneath a thick blanket of perturbation. Alana is the type of girl that looks like she should've rather been named Hennessey, with not a lick of regard to any set of rules established to keep students in check, and a volition strong enough to knock every person flat on their asses. She goes into things full throttle, because why does the forethought matter when everyone else around is ready to offer whatever they have handy anyways? It's also notable that she's best friends with Viktor Krum. [story set in 1993/94 in Durmstrang.
