In the distant valley behind Saratoga Castle, several cottages were provided for the professors and the senior students of this magical institution to live in.
Each of these cottages came with large patches of land numbering in the hundreds of acres.
The Magi of Saratoga believed that only by living close to nature could they deepen their understanding of magic.
That is why many of them chose to live in these countryside cottages near the grand castle, instead of residing in the bustling city of Ravenfell.
One of these cottages, nestled near the edge of a small pond, exuded a charm that blended perfectly with its natural surroundings.
Beside the pond, there was a small herb field where all sorts of precious and rare magical ingredients could be seen growing.
The cottage itself was constructed from weathered stones with ivy creeping up its walls, giving it an ancient and cozy appearance.
