School hidden in the rocky mountains of Montana. Can only get there by magical plane. (or very durable magic carpet)


Okay. Quick descriptive paragraph of my ideas for what the school should look like:

As the blue-green water plane I was riding in landed with a splash on the lake I gasped. I was in the most beautiful, magical seeming place I had ever been. It was a little mountainous woodsy valley, the lake in the very center. Ground rockily sloaped upward, meeting with the tall peaks that looked like they might puncture the sky.
The plane floated to a wooden dock on the side of the large blue lake and me and the few other students that had flown out of my airport disembarked. We walked to the land where a crowd of students were gathering. I could tell who were first years like me- we didn't have our robes yet. A teacher led the group along a well-worn dirt path, I could see other paths branching off in different directions. My older brother had told me that the trails let to little houses that had two or three classrooms apiece in them.
THe teacher reached what i can only describe as an out-door hallway floating on the surface of the lake. We steped down about four steps and we walked along the curious hall way. there was hardly any wall. arches opened up on both sides, only halving slip posts to support the arched roof. At the end of the hall I could just see what my brother called the "Big house" It was built on a rock in the middle of the lake, a few classrooms were built on the lake on stilts nearby. Halls identical to the one I was on led to them. The Big House was grand. It looked to be four stories tall and it spralled out larger than the rock it was resting on so that the edges of it had to be supported by fat poles. I looked at hte white house, wondering where my dormitory was to be. My brother told me that the top to floors were the dormitories.
Winter's windows faced the North
Springs to the East
Summers to the south
and Falls to the West
Only that the House was built so that a corner of the house faced north. and another corner to the south. So, I surmised that each dormitory must be one forth of the top.
My brother informed me that the second floor was some of the teachers offices and a staff room and and what-not.
The first floor, which was a lot taller than the others (so it must have higher cielings) was the Great Room. It was the dinning hall of the school
(Note: I haven't decided weather it would be cooler to have 4 long tables, one for each house like Hogwarts or if there should be bunches and bunches of round tables and there is no distinction between the houses)
I couldn't wait to start my classes. Surely, I thought, this must be the greatest wizarding school ever made!

THere, my naration is over. My other two ideas are basically the same. Only, one is just a forrest, with no lake, and the other is where the whole school is built over the lake.
What do you guys think?
