Leonora's School of Magic
Outside
"As they got closer to the school, she was amazed at how big the school was. It was similar to a giant castle made with sandy colored bricks and with many windows. Bella just sat and thought about how many rooms there might be and that she would probably get lost trying to find where she needed to be."

Courtyard
"The courtyard was originally paved with sandy-colored bricks to match the school, but over a hundred years of dirt made them a dark brown now. It had a large, ornate, marble fountain in the center. Water often splashed out onto the marble edge of the fountain. At the four corners of the fountain were large columns with carvings of ivy on them. Many students used the marble edges of the fountain as benches and the columns to lean against. Around the edge of the courtyard were arches with ledges under them for students to sit and study at. The tops of the archways were used as aqueducts to carry rainwater to a water filtration system for clean water for the school. The many benches and archways provided great places for students to hide behind and run through."
PE Field/Forest
"The next day in gym class they were going to play soccer in the field behind the school, which sat next to the forest."

Dining Hall
Auditorium
Dorm Rooms
"The main entrance where the students came in was near the student seating. It had double doors, but the doors were almost always open. The room was filled with various square and round tables spread out randomly. Two thick pillars stood in the middle of the room that lined up with either side of the main entrance. The side entrance on the right was only a single door because only teachers entered there. Straight back, and next to the side entrance, was the teachers’ table. Teachers usually only sat there when everyone ate dinner together. Since the students had different lunch periods, the teachers often ate in the teachers’ lounges or in their classrooms."
"The auditorium had seats set up like a theatre. There were three sections of seating. The two side sections were already filled with the returning students. All of the teachers stood on the outside edge of the auditorium so the students could see who some of their new teachers might be."

"You have all been assigned to rooms with four of you in a room. The boys will be in the eastern wing of the castle and girls will be in the west, and don’t even think about going into a room that’s not yours because the rooms have spells put on them so you can’t."
​
"They walked into the common area outside of their room."
Potions Room
"Mr. Sullivan was at the front of the classroom with ingredients and a big cauldron set out on a demonstration table. To the left of the table was his desk with his computer open and papers stacked in a neat pile. In between his desk and the demonstration table was a podium. The rest of the potions classroom was set up a little bit differently than the other classrooms. The tables were on tiered levels so Mr. Sullivan could always see what the students were doing. This also allowed him to watch every cauldron at once without anyone blocking his view."
Other Classrooms
"The classroom was made of reddish-brown colored bricks. It had had three columns of desks set up, with the teacher's desk up front in the middle. There were only two small windows in the room that were on either side of the teacher's desk. There was lighting in the room, but it was dim. This made the room look a little dark. Bella figured that all of the classrooms looked similar to this one."
Headmaster's Office
"Bella walked in and was in awe of how big his office was. In the center of the room was his desk. Papers and books were organized in piles on his desk. A little bit further behind his desk were large, ornate windows that let in a lot of sunlight. Around the edges of the office where the windows weren’t were large shelves. Some shelves held books, while others held magical objects and collectibles he had gathered over the years."
Family Tree Room
"Bella then stood there as a tree began to grow out of the floor. The tree did not look normal. As it grew taller leaves started to grow on it in what looked like specific places. The leaves towards the top quickly shriveled, but they stayed on the tree while the lower leaves looked dark green and healthy."
​
“The shriveled leaves are of the family members that have passed away."
​
“A tree grows in this room for the specific person that walks in. That is why I let you enter first. It is possible, though, to look at someone else’s tree if you concentrate hard enough on the tree you want to see.” - Mr. Mitchell
Abandoned Closet
"She walked into a dark room that was only lit by the sunlight coming through a window on the side and a window in the back. All of the furniture in the room was covered with white sheets that were covered in dust and cobwebs."
