Witches and Hunters
back in 1692, a series of people were burned at stake, drowned, and stoned because they were thought to be witches. these were the famous salem witch trials and they caused quite the uproar and hysteria. magical folk fled their hometowns in fear of being discovered like their friends had and abandoned the lives they had led till that point. they started over, created something, and most importantly, some turned their homes into safe havens for the younger generations to properly train. this was how Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies and Sir Magnus Barron's School for Gifted Boys came to be.

for nearly two centuries now, the schools and their staff have acted as caretakers and teachers to the young children lucky enough to safely arrive. they are taught their history and how to master their powers as well as discover powers they didn't know they had. the schools became their homes until they graduated and moved onto greater things. some, however, do choose to stay. who could blame them really. the world is dangerous for a witch. reveal yourself to the wrong person and your life could end rather abruptly.

it seems that everything has become just a little bit more dangerous in these modern times. it's as if witches across the world have been thrown back into 1692.

after a day out and away from Sir Magnus, the boys of the coven came back to find their coven completely destroyed on the inside. furniture was turned over and doors were ripped right off of their hinges. somebody, or more likely, some people came looking for them and when they hadn't found a single witch in sight, they took it out on the staff that had remained at home that day. the dead bodies were seemed to have been thrown around just like the furniture. 

the witch council was ready to give them a new home when word was received of a murder at Miss Robichaux's. the supreme had been smothered in her sleep, leaving the girls without a leader and without the proper knowledge to perform the seven wonders themselves. they were vulnerable and in need of some desperate help. as it seemed, the death of their supreme wasn't caused by a witch hunter or else all of the girls would have been killed as she was and the scene would have been far bloodier.

this changed the original decision of the council. the boys needed a new home and the girls needed help. it worked out well for the council. the boys were sent to Miss Robichaux's.

the council was hopeful that with the supreme from Sir Magnus' being rather young, it would be easier for him to help guide the girls to finding their new supreme. however, what that very supreme has kept so well as a secret is that he lacks in power. he can't manage more than one of his powers at a time without becoming feint.

His weakness does not help with a traitor living in the house the girls don't know about yet. A traitor among the butlers who already has the most threatening name on his list of kills.

let's not forget the rise of witch hunters again. they already found one coven. who's not to say they won't stumbleupon Miss Robichaux's? who's not to say they haven't already?
