Hogwarts: The beginning

[Melody]

"A thousand years or more ago when I was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well known: bold Gryffindor, from wild moor, fair Ravenclaw, from glen, sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad, shrewd Slytherin, from fen. They shared a wish, a hope, a dream, they hatched a daring plan to educate young sorcerers thus Hogwarts School began." [Sorting Hat's song, by J.K. Rowling]

Over a thousand years ago, in times when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered persecution, the four greatest witches and wizards of the age shared a dream. A dream to create a school where young people of the wizarding world could study and be trained in the magical arts they needed to become skilled, fully-trained wizards, without being judged or feared by non magical people, known as Muggles. Therefore, they built the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, protected by powerful charms and high mountains of Scotland.

Each of the founders founded one of the Hogwarts Houses, where they accepted groups of students with abilities they valued the most. They seemed to have gotten over differences of opinions. However, Slytherin held tightly to his beliefs that only pure-bloods should be taught.

How far is Slytherin ready to go in his “noble purpose” of destroying Muggle-born students? Will you join him? Which house will you choose? Where does your loyalty lie?
