There I stood, blinking, dizzy, bewildered, and clutching a rubber
ducky, surrounded by the most amazing architecture I have ever
seen. Glorious buildings towered around me, some ancient, some
very modern, and all apparently deserted . . . but were they?
I gathered my wits and began to investigate my surroundings,
and while I saw not a solitary human being, muggle or otherwise,
all the while I had a very strong feeling of being watched. I
suspect Invisibility Cloaks are part of the uniform at what I
have now determined was Arroz Institute for Wizarding Sciences,
somewhere in Texas--and in fact, the very source of the owl activity
that I had sought. Following are some of the remarkable architectural features I observed as I made my way very cautiously around this unique campus. |

I entered through this golden gateway and turned to the right, down a corrdor.  |
 Looking back toward the golden gate. |

Evidence that the owl is venerated at this institution is apparent on almost every building. |

Portraits of famous wizards are carved into the pillars on the facades of some of the buildings.  |
 (This wizard looks like Walter Cronkite... I had to chuckle in spite of myself.) |
