Godric's History Pt. 3

(There will be mentions of  death. If you don't want to read it you can skim through it.)

Harry smiled down at the early Hogwarts, it was smaller and looked like it was a normal sort of castle.

He knew that his Hogwarts almost looked like parts of it shouldn't exist, it could never make sense to any muggles if they were to see it. It was clear that magic played a part in its continued existence.

This younger Hogwarts looked more than a normal mundane castle, but that didn't take away from it. Harry marveled at some areas of the castle that hadn't changed in a thousand years, while others used to perform a function he couldn't fathom.

"Young one, before we begin, I feel you are ready for the rest of my tale." Godric's voice came from behind him, heavy steps signaling Godric moving to stand by Harry's side, looking down on the younger version of Hogwarts.

"These memories come from about ten year after Salazar's return. He had joined us at Hogwarts and found love, became married and had children." Godric began, his words heavy with regret.

"The four of us ensured that Hogwarts was the premier school of magic in Europe, our students grew powerful and founded the Ministry of Magic, the founding families including names you may recognise. Potter, Black, Bones, Abbott, Smith among others you likely wouldn't recognise." Godric smiled as Harry's gaze darted.

"Yes, young one, I taught the first Potters. I even married one of them years later. But while the school was stronger than ever.the world outside of the school was dark and full of danger, which is the original reason the Ministry was created, to bring order to the land." Godric scowled before clapping a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Now, it's time to show you something. Probably best to take a breath." Godric suggested before Harry felt his vision grow dark.

Godric watched with a soft smile as small children darted amongst the tables in the great hall. His smile grew as he noticed one child throw her arms around a second year student giving them a wet kiss on the cheek,

The two small children running amok where Salazar's children, shey shared his black hair and piercing eyes, but the rest of their features came from their mother who was sitting next to Godric with a wide smile on her face.

"Alicia, in a few years they will sit down there with the rest of the students. Are you planning on any more coming along to bring joy to these corridors?" Godric whispered, leaning over near her ear.

"Well, perhaps eventually. They are approaching the time of their schooling, so perhaps I may consider it. If Salazar behaves that is." Alicia grinned as Godric bellowed out a laugh, startling some first year students sitting closest to the head table.

"Godric, what is so funny now?" Rowena asked, a long suffering sigh escaped her lips, though she held a slight smile.

Godric saw the warning in Alicia's narrowed eyes and decided against teasing her husband, even if he wasn't there to defend himself.

"Nothing, just thought I saw little Merope down there make a second year blush." He grinned, giving a wink to Alicia while Rowena rolled her eyes.

"Godric, if Salazar comes up from his pet project today, please let him know that I'll be taking Merope and Marvolo with me to gather some potion ingredients. We shouldn't be any longer than lunch." Alicia smiles up at Godric whoginned.
