At the age of 10, each student gets sorted into their houses where they receive a wand and a shell necklace, which corresponds with the colour of their house. Each necklace allows the students to breathe underwater (bubble charm) in case they are ever in a situation. If a dangerous creature happens to be lurking near, the seashell will detect it and start making a slight beeping sound as well as turning white to warn the student to return back to school.
History:
Anapos, the god of water, always stood up for what he believed in, one of these things just happened to be not kidnapping young nymphs. Hades disagreed. Because of this disagreement Anapos unfortunately lost his life as a god, and was transformed into a river for opposing Hades. Anapos did not let this get him down, instead he chose to try to stay positive. He devoted his days to trying to learn how to unriver himself, however, this was rather difficult seeing as Anapos was now just a body of water. Luckily for him, his charm and charisma made the creatures of the sea, particularly the merpeople and seahorse community, like him. Together the merpeople and seahorses worked to bring young witch and wizards to the mediterranean sea to see if the brilliant young minds could help unriver their dearest friend. The Aneropos school was founded in the deep waters near Sicily and eventually the students were able to unriver Anapos. Nerma Splurk, a mermaid who stood by Anapos’ side, has since been named headmistress of Aneropos School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. The school stands today for equality and fights to do the right thing, most notably during the second muggle war when witches and wizards were welcomed into the school to escape the violence and brutality of the muggles.
