¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls What? What? Arkady couldn't really understand Leslee's sentence too. 'Fiiniiks o' zeh fleim?' He just looked at her face without understanding. Then the eagle talked. "You may answer the question, or simply wait here for another student to hear the answer." it said and winked. "What--do theesh guys really enter wif a question?" His look turned an amazement then and said "Could we please hav the question again?" The eagle said it, but Arkady's frown got deeper. He blushed and asked to Leslee with a embarrassed expression. "What ish a, er, fiimiiks?" Man, he had to learn animals--fast!
OOC: OK, I'm continuing with Dunya as a Durmstrang and also continue with its location in Russia far north near to Scandinavia 'cos, sorry to let you guys down but it is said so only in movies. And I believe books are more important here.
From HP Wikipedia: "The above may be a clue to Durmstrang's location. The flag of Albania (which is near Bulgaria) also depicts a double headed eagle (but Albania's weather doesn't match the Durmstrang uniform since the country is located next to Greece), as do the flag of Imperial Russia and the Coats of arms of the Habsburg Monarchy.
Furthermore, Durmstrang's coat of arms also features Cyrillic characters, indicating that the school is located in a Slavic country.
In the movie, Professor Dumbledore states that Hogwarts is to be joined by their "friends from the North", which puts Bulgaria into dispute somewhat. This might imply Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark." Also in the movie, it appears that Durmstrang is an all-boy school, although this is not so in the book.
