UPDATED REGULARLY (LAST UPDATE FEBRUARY 2016!)) The four founders were brave, loyal, intelligent, and ambitious, but they were also quite stubborn, impulsive, angst-ridden, and over-bearing. Start from the very beginning of the journey detailing the legendary Four as they grow from simple-minded little youngsters to older, though still simple-minded, grown-ups. Join Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor, and Salazar Slytherin on their conquest in uniting all witches and wizards under one banner, and create the most renowned magical school of all history! But before you begin, beware and proceed with upmost caution, for dark secrets and betrayals lie hidden in the thorn-riddled path that the Four must cross. Lost tragedies and perils threaten to tear them apart. As the Sorting Hat once fearfully proclaimed: "We must unite inside her, or we'll crumble from within." Author's Note: This story deals a little with the time period before the founders have actually created the school (Hogwarts). If you'd like, feel free to skip some of the earlier chapters. However, if you do decide to leap right into the middle of the book, be warned that you will be missing out on some major character development and plot devices. For every vote, a house elf gets a free sock. Be sure to stay updated for future chapters! What's happening: Was on a hiatus, but getting back on track! Going to publish chapter 9 soon!

We all know Mr. Ollivander was an old wand-maker who dedicated his life and soul to create wands for the Wizarding World. It's only common knowledge that Ollivander believed wands to be much like people and he believed they deserved to be treated no less. What has never been uncovered is the past of Mr. Ollivander. What secrets lie beneath the old, unruly hair? I've been working on a story that tells just this. I hope you enjoy "Mr. Ollivander's Lost Hope". (I haven't finished the story yet, so stay posted if you want to read more.)
