overview.
Welcome to Salem Witches Institute, the sister school that is equivalent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's considered one of the biggest institutes in the United States for witches and warlocks alike and it's a bit more modernized than Hogwarts and accepts students from various kinds of cultures. A new era has dawned upon the institute and this year has been deemed to be quite a shocker for the oncoming students. Also, forget the stories you have heard about the ghosts of witches stalking the building because it's not true. No ghosts or ghouls lurk in the hallowed halls of the institute.
Speaking of stories, the stories that we will never forget still exist from the Salem Witch Trials time period and still looms over the town of Salem like a dark black cloud. The ones that were able to escape and flee far away from the ongoing witch hunt, only to return whenever the madness had folded. But they weren't crazy enough to return back to Salem, instead, they dwelled in a nearby town, called Boston. This is when the preparations began between these four witches to open up a magic school, which they succeeded to do so. A few years passed by and the school increased in the year 1952 and relocated to an area where many witches were burned in Salem. The four founders of the school designed it to be specifically an all-girls institute, teaching them how to hone their abilities, along with giving them an education in safety and defense. Around the time, wizarding or magical schools in America were only opened to men so Salem Witches Insititute was the first and only school to be all women.
But today, a new era has dawned upon the institute and things are bound to be shaken up. Originally an all-girls school for witches, it has now opened its doors to accept men or warlocks. Many people were distraught upon receiving the news and some even took their daughters out of school because of the recent change. The outrage lasted for an entire summer but died down once the letters were sent out for the upcoming school year. Another change to the institute is that they only accept witches and warlocks as early as fourteen years of age.
Ever since the boy's entry into the prestigious institute, a string of disappearances has occurred but only among the warlocks. People are left stunned, well not everyone because the girls are fine and dandy and is not worried by the disappearances in the slightest bit. Though, most feel for the warlocks and also wonder what the hell is going on. If only they knew that someone among their own ranks is behind the disappearances, will the girls finally coexist with the boys? Or will the girls band together and not make it their problem? This year is shaping up to be on the highway to hell so you better buckle up and be in for one hell of a ride.

headmistress
npc
Born at the stroke of midnight on Halloween, Charlotte Devereux is the headmistress of Salem Witches Institute and has been for about the last five years. She comes from a long line of witches, so she's from a pureblood line and she specializes in Voodoo magic along with Herbology. Before the warlocks entered the institute, Charlotte used to be easygoing and laid back but that has changed as she has become much stricter than before and added a few more rules.
headmaster
npc
Blaise Blackwood, or Father Blackwood as he likes to be called often, is coming in as his first year as Headmaster at the institute. He's not from a pureblood line as his mother was a witch and his father was a regular person, or a muggle. Blaise specializes in necromancy, which means that he can communicate with the dead and summon spirits. He doesn't want to expect upon entering but will protect his warlocks at any and all costs. Blaise will also protect Charlotte and the witches but his boys come first.
Danvers
open
Coven Danvers was founded by Alyssa Danvers, who believed that the institute should provide newer ways of teaching students. The witches and wizards that are placed in this house value helpfulness and sacrifice. Its members are known for being very passive and fun-loving healers along with entertainers. The house animal sigil is a crow and their rooms, there is a boys and girls side, reside on the east side of campus and the warlock headmaster's office resides here, too.
Ipswich
open
Coven Ipswich was founded by Emilia Ipswich, who was also credited for the idea of an all-girl institute in America. The members of this house value loyalty along with good deeds and honor above just about anything else. This house consists of pure-blood witches and wizards, which usually means that its members are really serious and very judgemental of others. Their rooms, which are co-ed, are located on the south side of the campus and their animal sigil is a black labrador.
Andover
open
Coven Andover was founded by Rebeka Andover and it's the only largest house. Its members value leadership and independence much more than anything else. This house consists of scholars above anything else and that's really about it within this house. Their animal sigil is a white stallion and rooms, which are co-ed are located on the west side of the campus, which is also where the headmistress's office is.
Goode
open
It is no doubt who this coven was founded by and if you think Sarah Goode, you'd be dead wrong. This coven was actually founded by Isabella Goode and its members favor traditional magic much more than anything else. This house is also known for producing some of the best minds in modern magic in America. Members that are in this house value curiosity and creativity and most of them are rather aloof in a sense. The animal sigil is a red fox and their rooms, there is a boy's and a girl's room, are located on the north side of the campus near Witch Lake, which can be seen from their windows.
