The only way that leads to the Abercrombie castle, is a hidden path, which only shows for the person who turns away from the road out of a small muggle village and walks straight into the swamp, which is haunted and guarded by inferi. One will be asked for a password “Who enters this domain”, which a member of the family answers with: “A member of the scorpion legion.” Other people who are not Abercrombies will have to send out a patronus so the Abercrombies at the castle can let them enter the grounds. If not, the magical resistance spell around the Island, one has to stand on in the swamp, disappears and Inferi would get orders to attack the person.
Up to the castle there is a small road that leads through a dark forest from the swamp and by the end of it, there are five armours at each side, guarding the entrance. The door will be opened by the butler who is an old man of pureblood but who has been a traitor to his family and the wizardry society. If not, a powerful house elf by the name of Lucifer opens. But it rarely happens, since he is the chef of the kitchen and the leader of the other elves who cook and clean.
The castle has a ghost of Samara Abercrombie from the 17’th century who died of syphilis. She is a scary being: walking around the halls and standing in corners in her long night dress and silver hair, simply staring at one. No one has ever heard her talking. Another special being in the castle, is a poltergeist. His name is Samuel Abercrombie and has a shape of a eight year old boy. This boy never makes any damage, though he has a small weakness for flooding the bathrooms. He screams horrifying and enjoys waking one up during the night by screaming right into the head of the person. Which the ghost of Samara also enjoys, but she does not scream, she simply stands over one’s bed – staring with wide eyes.
The castle has a small owlery, five bathrooms, seven study rooms, ten bedrooms, five great living rooms and three guest rooms. There is a huge dining hall and kitchen on the ground floor, plus a dungeon with two cells. There should also be a secret passageway out of the castle somewhere, but no one has ever found it. Everywhere around the castle are pictures of famous family members and the Abercrombie symbol with the silver scorpion shines through almost everywhere. There is a special study room which is extra big, since the meetings for Death Eaters is used to be held there. There are pictures of all the members from the family that had been in Azkaban and the ones that had killed important people.
There are almost no parties at the Abercrombie Castle, since most of the family is wanted by the ministry. But it is said by many pureblooded people who are friends with them, that their home is very elegant and perfectly organized. It is a perfect home for a serial killer.
