welcome to Hogwarts!

I've finally received my diploma or certificate that states that I have completed my education. It was packed just like those packets that owls would deliver to students of Hogwarts - in a form of scroll. The only difference - my scroll was red&black - two official colors of the university I have attended.
And this is not the only example of similarity between my university and Hogwarts. There are few more. 1) When it was a graduation day everyone was wearing gowns just like in Harry Potter. The commencement ceremony was just like a scene from the dinning hall of Hogwarts.
2) City where my university is situated also has invisible train! If you get a chance to see it - you are probably very lucky. Although there is rail road going through the center of the city I haven't seen any trains during my first year studying. It was totally invisible, invisible to regular people... and during tornado times you could only hear a train and never see it. Magic!
3) The city itself was magic. First, you would never find it without a map and even if you have a map and talk to educated people they probably would be confused about what city you are talking about. Think to yourself. It's called as the capital of Greece and yet it's not there. It is in the north-west of one Caucasus countries, and yet it is in the States. It's like 9 and 1\2 platform. It's there, but it not at the same time. Second, this city is full of spirits and different magic liquids that exhausted students consume to get through classes. Every night, downtown becomes a place of mass magic with tons of student getting literally out of mind. And once it's 2 am, magic is over. Done. Time to fly home.
