p style="text-align: left;" align="center" Nestled between the majestic Pyrenees Mountain range is a small cabin, smoke rising from its chimney regardless of the season. Hikers and skiers and the occasional sheepherder frequently pass it when journeying through the scenic snowcapped mountains. However, if the passerby has even a drop of magic in his blood, then the scene changes dramatically. The quaint hut morphs into a large, breathtaking chateau surrounded by formal gardens and lawns created of the mountainous landscape by magic. The chateau is extravagantly built to mirror quintessential French architecture – parapets and towers and flying buttresses create an elaborate treat for the eyes. These magnificent grounds are home to the Beauxbotons Academy of Magic, a highly prestigious school rumored to have been attended by various notable witches and wizards and funded by the alchemist gold of Nicolas Flamel himself./p
p style="text-align: left;" One of numerous wizarding schools in Southern Europe, the Beauxbotons Academy of Magic only accepts the brightest and the most accomplished students who hail from France, Belgium, Luxemborg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. The school splits its students into three ability-based factions: Partum, Bellator, and Illuminare. Each faction only interacts for meals and school events, but otherwise trains separately./p
p style="text-align: left;" The Partum faction is composed of the students with talents in the arts and creative expression. The Partum occupy the Eastern towers of the castle, which boast an incredible view of the expansive Lake Flamel, and the dormitories made of ceilings of glass so that the artists can paint the clouds and the dancers can waltz under the stars. Students of the Partum faction don a bronze brooch in the shape of a star along with the customary pale blue Beauxbotons uniforms./p
p style="text-align: left;" The Bellator faction is made up of students with extensive athletic ability, who are often quick on their feet and street smart. Founded in the mid-1300s, Beauxbotons was originally intended to train warriors to combat pre-Enlightenment Era dark wizards. Established the first out of all three factions, Bellator has now evolved into a rigorous and distinguished training ground for aurors, magical law enforcement, and of course famed Quidditch players. Students in Bellator don a silver brooch of a wand diagonally crossed with a sword on their robes, and occupy the Northern wings, which have easy access to the expansive grounds./p
p style="text-align: left;" The third faction is the Illuminare, which recruits students with advanced intellectual capacity. The faction is famed for it's rigorous classes in the fields of potions, charms, and magical defense, as well as esteemed professors. The students of Illuminare are often studious and quietly competitive, and can hold discussions on everything from the 1763 Wizengamot Financial Crisis to the merits of various antidotes. Located in the ivy-lined brick hallways of the West corridors, the lair of the Illuminare is also famed for its underground tunnels, which are rumored to have been dug by wizards fleeing during the French Revolution and lead under Lake Flame into the mountain range. However, they have been sealed for thousands of years and its entrance is still undiscovered. Illuminare students wear a gold brooch in the shape of a flame./p
p style="text-align: left;" Deep inside the West corridors and past the statue of Vincent Duc de Trefle-Picques is a threadbare tapestry that requires a password. Inside this tapestry is a beautiful circular common room scattered with desks and bookshelves around a central fireplace. Two stairs lead up to the dormitories separated by sex. Up the left staircase and in room XI is a girl at her desk, head bent over a potions textbook in hopes of cramming information before her healer board exam the following day. And this is where our story begins./p
