The setting is in a wizarding school named Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The time is in the 1990s. It is a beautiful huge castle type school, with a radiant river of water flowing by its side. With a fantastic view from the astronomy tower, enchanted stairs, portraits and ceiling, it is an absolutely magical and beautiful place to be. This setting is absolutely important to the story as it brings life to the fantasy genre and holds many important secrets which is useful to the characters and plot. Personally this couldn't have taken place in any other setting, as it wouldn't have given readers the same feeling.
