Founders Uncovered

The Time Before

I ran like the wind through the woods, praying to not trip on my skirts. He was following at a steady pace with his sword by his side, with a look of anger in his eyes. He loved me but I did not love him. I ran and ran until my skirts got caught on a branch that I had overlooked. He caught up and made his point of this chase. "If I cannot have you, no man shall. You will either love me forever or never love again. You choose." The baron exclaimed. "I will never love you for as long as I shall live! You will have to stab me through the heart because my love is only given to whom I love back." He thought a moment before he said anything. "Then say goodbye, my love." Then the baron stabbed me through the heart and my last words were, "No women will ever love you after this." Those words hurt him so much he did what he had done to me. He stabbed himself in the heart. When our bodies were found, I was given the name "The Grey Lady" and he was named "The Bloody Baron". We now watch over the halls of Hogwarts with our paths barely crossing for he cannot bare to look at me without having guilt sit on his conscience. I cannot bare to look at him for he killed me because I did not love him but another man. A better man.
