Please take a seat, I will call roll now. Answer here and tell me what House you belong to. Now! On to business....
Hogwarts was founded over a 1000 years ago-the precise date is uncertain-by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. 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 year, the founders worked in harmony together, seeking out youngsters who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be educated. But then disagreements sprang up 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-magical 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.
Please take the quick quiz and finish reading Chapter 1 and write a two scroll summary.
