My name is Blair Rodgers and today is the day I begin training. My two lifelong best friends Shelby Garner and Hallie Hudson, and me will begin training at the Winfield Academy of Military Magic. All of us had siblings that were already at the school. I guess I should explain my school. If you are a witch or wizard and live in America then when you turn 11 you will get a letter saying you may attend school. You have the choice between Salem academy which is a normal school, or you can wait until, your 16th birthday and join Winfield academy. We choose Winfield due to its high prestige and military aptitude. You travel by bus to the school's location, Winfield is hidden somewhere in Virginia. Once there you are sorted into one of four Platoons. The four Platoons are:
The house of the Wise; Ibis
Those of high intelligence, know to be unsocial but brilliant, top of the class in most cases. They are called the Owls, house colors blue-and-white
The house of the Daring; Aquila
Those who would do dangerous and exhilarating things just for fun, know to pull crazy stunts and nearly get themselves kicked out or killed. Very brave, never back down from a challenge. They are called the Eagles, house colors red and black.
The house of the Ambitious; Vulpes
Very cunning and Willing to do anything to achieve their goals. They are mostly only close to others in their house. But can be valuable friends to other houses. Manipulative and dangerous at times. They are called the foxes, house colors green and purple.
The house of the Honorable; lupus
Integrity and honor are important to those of the lupus house, they never lie and do everything in an ethical way. The nicest and most trustworthy of all. They are called the wolves, House colors yellow and gray.
We would get uniforms once there and sorted. Our everyday uniforms consisted of a tank top matching our houses main color, camo cargo pants, and black combat boots. Boys had to have buzz cuts and girls had to wear their hair up in a bun. Our Dress uniforms shirt also matched our houses main color. I'll attach a pic of our dress uniforms. On Sunday's and Saturdays, we had off so we could wear what we wanted. We could also bring any pet that wasn't dangerous. I was bringing my raven Edgar, Hallie was bringing her lab Cooper and Shelby was bringing her calico cat, Sam. We had already bought our wands and supplies.
