Silver Birch House

An Introduction . . .

Silver Birch House is a simplistic dwelling in many ways. The simple country home contains like any other house - kitchen, living room, bathroom, dining room, bedrooms. What is completely 'normal' about Silver Birch House is that it is a lively bustling home - It holds a household that works and lives, each person contributing to the hustle and bustle of everyday life and keeping the hectic home running - its occupants fed and cleaned.

What is usual about Silver Birch House is to find children playing in its immense Gardens, to find its cooks bustling around the kitchen, to find House Elves scurrying to clean bedrooms, and elderly folk chattering away in its living room.

What is unusual about Silver Birch House is that very few individuals actually know it exists; those that pass by merely see a small country home with large Gardens - its occupants and a few privileged persons that do know it is there, see the house in its entirety and all agree that it is an impressive site. The house stands surrounded by trees and fields somewhere in Wales; nobody actually knows the exact location - except those that own it - and its stone walls covered in ivy, large windows, balconies, huge rooms and impressive kitchens protect some hundred occupants.

Who lives at such a place? Well the Owners are a band of simple people, the type of people never marked for heroes, those who are easily dismissed in everyday life. And yet the occupants of the house are devoted to these owners, as when they were in strife they were brought here by the owners to recover in safety.

The occupants themselves are a mismatched crew - each with his or her own story with which many a tale could be written, each with its tragedy and heartache that while living in the peacefulness of Silver Birch can be recovered from a little more easily. Silver Birch is a place for lost souls, the owners sometimes wonder if in fact the house owns them, not the other way around.

All are welcome at Silver Birch - Witch, Wizard, Muggle, Elf, Giant, Troll. Those who wish harm never get past the gate. All within the house have one thing in common; they'd rather die than reveal its location.
