Meanwhile, Remus had to dispel the wild rumours that Sirius had heard about Manchester Magical Academy (MMA). Yes, MMA taught both magical subjects and nonmagical subjects. No, MMA was not "the school for Muggle-borns"; but it did refuse to take wizard-raised magicals, whether half-blood or Pureblood. Also, MMA was not a boarding school; the students arrived in the morning, and left in the afternoon, by means of Portkeys. Because MMA was a day school, MMA’s fees were much cheaper than Hogwarts.
