The four school houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people and witches and wizards suffered much persecution. For a few years, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them up to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up between them. A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed that magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. He disliked taking students of Muggle parentage, believing them to be untrustworthy. After a while, there was a serious argument on the subject between Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Slytherin left the school. Reliable historical sources tell us this much, but these honest facts have been obscured by the fanciful legend of the Chamber of Secrets. The story goes that Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in the castle, of which the others knew nothing. Slytherin, according to the legend, sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that none would be able to open it until his own true heir arrived at the school. The heir alone would be able to unleash the horror within and purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic. « Last Edit: Dec 4, 2007, 6:13pm by Jade Wood » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» Registration Information--------------------- Hogwarts Information Center --- Absentees- Character Development --- Pending Applications --- Approved Applications --- Denied Applications- Character Wanted Ads--------------------» Hogwarts Castle--------------------- Entrance Hall --- Great Hall- Classrooms --- Care Of Magical Creatures --- Charms --- Defense Against The Dark Arts --- Divination --- Herbology --- History Of Magic --- Potions --- Transfiguration- Houses --- Gryffindor Common Room --- Slytherin Common Room --- Ravenclaw Common Room --- Hufflepuff Common Room- Corridors --- Hospital Wing --- Library --- Room Of Requirement- Hogwarts Grounds --- Black Lake --- Forbidden Forest --- Quidditch Pitch --- Whomping Willow- The Owlery --- Owl Post--------------------» Wizarding World--------------------- Hogsmeade --- Hogs Head --- Honeydukes --- Madam Puddifoots --- Shrieking Shack --- Three Broomsticks --- Zonko's Joke Shop- Diagon Alley --- Eeylops Owl Emporium --- Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour --- Flourish and Blotts --- Madam Malkins Robes For All Occasions --- Ollivanders --- Quality Quidditch Supplies- Residences --- Wood Manor --- Victory Headquarters --- Evans Duplex--------------------» Out Of Character Fun--------------------- Suggestions- Advertisements- Graphics Shop --- Victoire's Shop --- .: Lily's Graphics Emporium :. --- Jade's Shop- Character Center --- Relationship Plots --- Character Diaries --- Photo Albums- Forgetting The Past- General Discussion- Staff Board --- Application Archives --- Moderation
