Basically what happens is you go into a store that only wizards can see. You go into the back of the store. You have a strange urge to put on an old ratty looking robe. When you put it on you feel that there is something in the pocket. Inside of the pocket there is a letter addressed to you. It says that you have been accepted into Fikyourna Institute of Sorcery in the house of ________. It tells you to go home, and from there you will recieve another letter.

Once at home, you find a letter and it says that you have to go back to the store on September 13th, and bring 300 dollars of bollix money or 100 wizard dollars. Go through a door at the back of the store. On the other side is a train station, you ride on the train all day and all night. The next day you go shopping for all of your school stuff. At 4:30 that night, the train takes you to Fikyourna for the start of term feast.

First years have the ride of their lives when they arrive at the castle. Especially for a bollix born. It is impossible for a first year to find out, because if anybody were to say it to them, they would not understand it. No matter what, they wouldn't hear, or else hear only sounds. Not gibberish of course, because that is a real language, but sounds. Anyway if a first year arrives on time to the school they all go off with a strange huge human. Pure human blood, not half giant, and they go into the forest. Once there this human will transfigure into a huge dragon which carries all of the first years through the air on an unforgetable ride. After the dragon ride, they are carried to a back entrence where the dragon transforms back into the gamekeeper of the school and takes them into the great hall. The students then wait for there name and house to be called by the Deputy Headmistress and Professor Dunkara. After that they sit down and after a speech by the Headmistress McDumilavers, everybody eats. (Password: My Cookie) Classes start the next day.
