HOGWARTS
The Founders' Tales
Spoiler: PLOT IDEAS SO FARA specific plot/storyline hasn't been fully agreed upon yet, so I've decided to just put up the ideas I have so far, see what ideas you may each have, and see what we can come up with together. The Harry Potter universe has a rich mythos and there is a wide range of possibilities, so feel free to use your imaginations!
Spoiler: My own ideas at the moment...
- My initial concept for what Hufflepuff did prior to founding Hogwarts was for her to be part of an underground network of witches and wizards who secretly rescue and take in those who at the time are being persecuted for witchcraft, including witches/wizards as well as falsely-accused muggles. Perhaps some of the first Hogwarts students might be some of those whom Hufflepuff was harboring during this time? It might also be possible for at least three of the founders to have first met through this network; Slytherin most likely wouldn’t approve of them not limiting their rescues to only pure-bloods, but he might still have heard of it to some extent.
- From what we know of Slytherin’s fall from grace in the books, his disagreements with the other founders over whether or not to restrict admission to pure-blood students eventually culminated in a huge argument with Gryffindor, after which Slytherin left the school for good, but not before leaving behind the basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets so that his heir could use it to purge Hogwarts of non-pure-bloods. Not much detail is given on the fateful argument between Gryffindor and Slytherin or how things turned so sour between them, so perhaps this RP could explore that in more detail. One example could be that Slytherin was caught doing/creating something terrible (other than the Chamber of Secrets, which was initially known only as a legend) and Gryffindor found out and confronted Slytherin, leading to their famous argument (and possibly a climactic final battle) that ended with Slytherin leaving the school.
- Other possibilities could include the adventures of the four founders in their youth, how Hogwarts came to be, etc. etc., ... the possibilities are endless, and in fact, even a combination of one or more ideas could definitely be possible!
