Prologue
Welcome to the site that will explain and prepare you for you upcoming visit to S.H.I.P, or Selene House Institute for Prodigies. It was founded in 1966 when a retired teacher, Jason Selene founded a program for the highly adept and talented. Using donations and his own trust fund, he purchased a small building about 20 miles outside Los Angeles and began accepting students. He soon had so many qualified applicants that he had to add space and break the groups into four different societies, which he named after a psychological theory discovered by Henry Plakit, namely Red, Black, Purple, and Pink. However, each house has since been named for a type of ship: Caravel, Galiot, Sloop, and Schooner. Several months later, two more houses were added: Green and Blue House!
Draco raised an eyebrow. Weird. Seriously, seriously weird. It had all began when he, Blaise, and several Gryffindors including (of course) the Golden Trio, had been called to Dumbledore's office. They had been told that as protection, they would be attending a two month summer course in America. So that was why on a sunny summer morning when he could be yelling at his house elves and tricking widows out of their pensions Draco Malfoy was walking down a dirt road accompanied by his worst enemies and Blaise, all dressed in Muggle outfits. Admittedly, he did wish he wasn't wearing his heavy black robes, but he would never wear such things.
On arrival, they were told about the school's mission and placed in a house depending on their Psychological Profile: Draco to Black, Harry and Blaise to Green, Hermione to Blue, and Ron and the other gryffindors to Purple. Draco headed off towards the black dorms. He stopped in at what he had been told was the Black Coffee shop, and was surprised.
"Friends! Romans! Country Men! Lend me you ears." A girl, dressed a bright red toga, was standing on the bar and attempting to quiet down the highly vocal students. "I, Psyche Morgan bid you welcome. As the party representative for our class, I would like you to know that the first class party is June 5th, and it will be toga style." Cheers were heard around the room. Draco rolled his eyes and walked towards a chair. "You there! Blondie! Why doest thou rolleth ye's eye?" Draco ignored her. She frowned. "Seriously, what the hell?" She jumped down and ran after him. "Dude…what's your problem?"
