In 1904, a quartet of Australian witches and wizards who had travelled to the UK to attend Hogwarts decided to found a school of magic in their own country. They knew that travelling half way across the world to study magic was quite an undertaking, especially since not even a magical train could travel over oceans. To reach Hogwarts that had been required to use portkeys to make the journey, and while this was a possibility, it was also a logistical nightmare. It put a severe strain on the other magical schools, not only Hogwarts but also beauxbatons and Durmstrang, for students from Australia customarily could choose one of these three schools to attend. When it came to choosing houses for their new school, these four characters chose to work with the system used at the school in which they themselves had studied, they used the same four houses that had been established at Hogwarts and offered the same eligibility criteria. So it was that the houses of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin were copied at Auswarts. One of the four took of his own hat and gave it intelligence so that it could make the chocie, this Auswats had a sorting hat of its own. Now, all children with magical ability who are born in Australia are offered places at Auswarts rather than any of the other magical schools. Join in the fun and accept your place at the Australian School of Magic
