"Ok, so if we're going to found a magical school, we need to actually build it somewhere." Helga, ever the voice of reason stated.
"Let's build it offshore." Salazar said immediately.
"What the hell do you mean, Salazar?" Rowena asked, a hint of wonder in her eyes.
"A floating island."
"You want us to build a floating island?" Helga interjected.
"Yes." He stated.
"How?"
He brushed this off. "The how is unimportant. The fact that it moves and is not tethered anywhere is also not important-"
"Are you hearing yourself?" Helga asked. "This is ridiculous."
"-but the important thing is that it's basically unfindable."
"What do you mean?"
"No outsider will be able to find it because it changes location. Secrecy is key."
Everyone stared at Salazar.
"No student, teacher, or anyone," Helga said after a while. "Will be able to find it."
"And besides, how do you plan on transporting the students there?" Godric asked.
"I-" Salazar said before stopping immediately.
"Did not think of that?" Rowena finished his sentence. "Yes, that's obvious."
"Well, do you have a better idea?" Salazar asked pointedly.
Rowena shrugged. "No ideas for the location, but it needs to be unplotable, and hard to find, unless you are directly told where to go."
"Exactly." Salazar said.
"Well, at least let's pick somewhere beautiful and idyllic to put it." Rowena said, daydreaming off in another world.
"And remote. We do have a school full of underaged wizards, remember." The reasonable one said.
"Scotland." Salazar said. "That's remote."
"I know exactly where." Godric said, surprising everyone.
"Where?"
"Right next to this forest called the forbidden forest-"
"No Godric." Helga warned.
"But it's near a small village that will act as a place for people to apparate to, because we still need somewhere to take the students." He pleaded, with puppy dog eyes.
"Sure. That's not too bad." Helga said. "Not the worst idea you've had anyway."
"And we'll have a giant squid in the lake." He finished quickly.
"Why Godric why?" Helga said.
"But when people fall into the lake it'll help them out."
"Actually-" Helga said, for once agreeing with one of Godric's mad ideas.
"And there are mermen and mermaids in the lake. As well as centaurs in the forest."
"Shut. Up. Godric. Before you have any more stupid ideas." Helga growled.
There was silence. "Alright. So we're having this castle in Scotland. It is going to be near the forbidden forest and near this small village or whatever. And-"
"There are ghosts."
"Shut up Godric!" Helga snapped.
"And don't forget the giant squid living in the lake."
Helga sighed in resignation. "Well, before any of you can come up with anything weirder, although I don't know how you'll be able to manage that, this is final. Also, Salazar, we are not having this castle Inn Antarctica."
"Oh." Salazar said dejectedly.
Apologies that this is so short. I'll have something longer up by the end of week, I promise. Probably. Also, any ideas?
