The school of wizards
Did you ever wonder why there's a school of wizards in Summerville? Well, let me tell you about that...
Do you know Emma? She calls herself a witch. Most times she's very busy, but maybe she will visit your town during Halloween. While that time of the year, she's always traveling from city to city, searching for rare goods. Emma is the foundress of Summerville's school of wizards.
When Emma was a child, she used to visit her grand aunt Roberta nearly every day. Roberta lived in the Mystical old Land of Summerville. She was rather old but still fit and she was very knowledgeable in herbalism. Emma was a very wild child, always testing things up to the max. So Roberta had to patch up many minor injuries. And Emma was not her only patient. Many people of summerville came to visit Roberta in order to hear her advices. They used to call her the Old Land's Witch. One day Emma asked her, why people call her a witch and grand aunt Roberta answered:
"Well sweetheart, most people that come to me, only need someone who will listen to them and take their problem seriously. I'm good at listening and I'm as old as a dinosaur, so I have much life experience that I can share. And don't forget that my tea is the best throughout Summerville *g*. So, when people leave after their visit, they mostly feel much better than before. They believe that this must be some kind of magic and so they call me a witch."
Emma frown and said: "But this isn't Magic!" "Oh Darling", said Roberta "always remember one thing: helping others and trying to make the world a better place is what I would call real-life-magic. This is the magic in life that really matters, not some kind of hocus-pocus."
Grand aunt Roberta died several years later and Emma, who was already grownup and finished her studies of pharmacie, inspired by Roberta's herbalism knowledge, moved into her grand aunt's house in the Mystical old Land. There she set up a laboratory, in order to research for medicines against rare diseases and establish the school of wizards. She placed a statue of her grand aunt into the garden infront of the house and at the bottom of the statue you can find a brass plate that says:
School of Wizards - Open for everyone who wants to help others and make the world a better place
