Smeltings
From Harry Potter Wiki
- " Caveat Smeltonia. Proudest moment of my life."
- —Vernon Dursley[src]
Smeltings is a Muggle public school that Dudley Dursley and his friend Piers Polkiss attended in the nineties. It was also the alma mater of Dudley's father, Vernon Dursley, who once remarked that he found the portions of food served at the school to be very filling.
[edit] Uniform
The school's uniform consisted of a maroon tailcoat, orange knickerbockers, a straw boater, and a gnarled cane that students used to hit each other with when teachers had their eyes elsewhere. All this whacking with sticks was supposed to be greatly helpful in preparing students for the future.
[edit] Etymology
Smelting is the process used in producing iron ore to make it stronger and more suitable for use.
