"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something new" - Helga Hufflepuff
Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been educating young Witches and Wizards of out
Nation, and indeed from all around the world, for over a thousand years. It is the premier school
in Europe (and unofficially, the whole world), and more importantly, it was the first school of magic
in the world. There is some evidence that the Ancient Egyptians had schools for Magic, however most
historians believe that they, like all before Hogwarts, passed knowledge through family; generation
to generation.
The idea of Hogwarts was of Merlin. He envisioned a school to teach their decendents their
magical knowledge. Merlin, widely recognised as the greatest wizard of ancient time, died, unfortunately,
at the age of 200 exactly, in the battle of mornad-srée, against the dark wizard Kalquoas, Kalquoas's
defeat.
So then, it was up to his four generals against the dark lord, to continue his legacy. And this
was the birth of Hogwarts, which has lasted for over thousand years and to this day, is probably (The USA's
Elite Wizarding College Group won't agree) the best school of magic in the world, and will hopefully last
for many years more.
Of the defeat of Kalquoas and the start of Government.
Kalquoas Jeppatoo, was the most feared and powerful Dark Wizard the world has ever seen (although You-Know-You
gave him a run for his money). In his day, people were scared to say his name. He had dark power that no one had
ever seen. He commanded the now all but extinct Orcs and Giants, the Balrogs and Worgs. His armies where immense,
and he almost took over the world. However, the battle of mornad-srée, in which Merlin lost his life, turned the
tides on Kalquoas. Merlin wielded the light of Awien, and he and his four generals rode on the unicorns of Awien.
The light of Awien was that of pure light, hope and love. Goodness in essence, undiluted and wild. It spread
through Kalquoas's dark creatures like a knife through butter, and Kalquoas was defeated. However, the power was
too great even for Merlin and it killed him, carrying his soul to the heavens. His generals, Gryffindor, Slyterin,
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and the wizards they commanded, to finish them off. A few thousand orcs and Giants escaped,
but the war was over.
It was then when a governing body was set up to help and organise wizardkind in Britain and to keep wizards
who seem to going over to the darkside, in check. Now unlike nowadays when the Ministry has close ties with the
Muggle Government, and is a Ministry of them itself (although it cannot be controlled by them), around 985, Britain
was still a Monarch, and the wizard government were seperate body altogether. King Arthur, who was a friend of
Merlin and had supplied arms to the effort against Kalquoas, was sad to hear of his demise, and accepted the GOBODOWAW
(GOverning BODy Of Witches And Wizards) to have some control in the country. His successor, James, was less accepting,
he himself feared the wizards, and threatened to alert the country of their presence. He had sent out 20 or so men to
do so when Gryffindor himself performed a Memory charm on James and his allies. The Link between Muggles and Wizards
was broken. The 20 who had reached nearby villages also had their memories wiped, however they had already told quite
a lot, who had told relatives until the rumour reached the far ends of the country and Muggles were in fear.
For the next 500 years they killed many of their own kind thinking them to be magical folk, but it was pointless,
as there was a wealth of magic which protected wizards and witches when the muggles actually found someone who was
magical, such as the flame-freezing charm and the burn-protecting potion. Wendelin the Weird famously returned to be
burned many times because she liked the tickling sensation from the flame freezing charm.
Enough of life and times a thousand years ago. Back the the GOBODOWAW. There was no Minister as such then, but a council
made of, each of the four generals (and future house founders), Merlins son, Agwipald, Kerrith Sunbloom, a witch famous
for her medical knowledge, Mungo, of the hospital fame, who worked with Kerrith to bring the hospital about, and Igwald
Gaddle, who is not famous for anything in particular, but was a talented wizard in his day (he went on to become the
first hogwarts charms teacher). The bill for a magical academy was passed in 991.
Of the drafting of rules and choosing of location
A site was chosen for the school because of its location, concealed by mountains, a lake and a treacherous forest, the
ost concentrated of magical creatures in the country. Hogsmeade, the only all-wizard settlement in the UK, was only 12
miles away by road (but only 3 in a straight line, under part of the forest and a mountain).Six total subjects were
chosen to be taught: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defence against the Dark Arts, Arithmacy, Astromony and Divination.
The very first castle was much different than the one we have today. It was much smaller, and was discovered after
a month of building, despite its discreet location. A group of Muggle Hikers saw wizards rasing walls and blocked
with magic. A couple more wiped minds and the project was restarted. The site had been charmed, this time, before
building began. Any passing muggles would be forced to turn around, half a mile from the site. The castle was redesigned,
also.
Of the creation of houses
Each founder decided to have their own house in Hogwarts, and each accepted students into their house if they had
certain skills which each of them prized. Gryffindor accepted those who were brave, Slytherin those who were cunning,
Ravenclaw favoured intelligence and Hufflepuff, the rest. It was written that each house would gain or loose points
when their students did good or bad things. The house cup was then forged by Freloin the Dwarf in the mines of the
mountains which surrounded Hogwarts (Northern Penines). Each chose their crest, represented by an animal and colour,
and a quiditch league was also formed, for house teams to play agains each other. The Quidditch cup was also forged
by Freloin and his crew, but was more elaborate, and more valuble, as Headmaster Pillsley found out in 1303 (see "Of
Protection Spells).
Of the Building of the Castle
The original design was symmetrical, but small, but the new design was much more elaborate and large. Its
size was indefinite, there was towers, tunnels, dungeons, some parts had 2 floors, others had 8. But the whole place
was built around a central staircase which ended up into the Astromony tower. Slightly below and to the right, was the
owlery. Countless classrooms were spread all throughout the castle. To the west of the castle, beside the great
entrance hall, was the great hall, where food was eaten and announcements announced. Its roof was bewitched to look like
the sky outside. at the back of the Hall was the teachers table and a small chamber. In the centre, there were four tables,
one for each house, perpendicular to the teachers table. Only its founders know all its secrets, the castle is immense, with
rooms which dissapear, rooms which changed shape and size and even a room which turns into what its seeker desires most.
The castle also spreads underground. The first is the kitchens, hidden from the rest of the castle, only Hogwarts immense
staff of House Elves are there, underneath the great hall, cooking and waiting to clean the castle while everybody is asleep,
but below the kitchens and elve quarters, is the dungeons. Housed in the dungeons is the classroom specially devised for
potions because of its darkness and stillness. Slyterins common room and dormitaories are also in the dungeons. Most of the
rest of thedungeons are for storage, but detention was once held there, during the particularly nasty reign of Headmaster
Kal.
Up above the castle (but not as tall as the Astromony room or Owlery) are the castles many towers. While a few have
a flat roof where you can stand and see around for miles, including the village of Hogsmeade, Two of the Towers belong to
two houses, Gryffindor at the East and Ravenclaw in the South, North tower houses the divination room, and Snippat tower is
home to the Arithmancy room. Between its many connected buildings, halls and towers, are many courtyards where the students
sometimes enjoy their lunch. Some also leave the castle to the grounds outside. There are many large, undivided fields,
but to the south there is a large lake. The Southern end of the castle leans over the lake on a cliff. The lake is also
home to a Giant Squid, which has been there for thousands of years. Bordering the lake and coming quite close the the school
in the east is the Forbidden Forest. It is home to many magical creatures and is very dangerous, hence the "forbidden" in
its title. North is the Quiditch Pitch which was built three years after the castle, was destroyed by fire in 1682, and was
rebuilt as the pitch we know today the same year. The original was like a colleseum, with wooden seats completely surrounding
the pitch and with a wooden roof surrounding part of the stands. The current one is a raised seating area around the pitch
with several towers high above. There is a passage way to the dressing rooms, (a large stone hut connected to the stadium),
And a special magic amplifing system for commentary. There are many passages to Hogsmeade from Hogwarts, but a few have
been forgotten over the years, and are now the passage of troublemakers and people who wish to go to Hogsmeade when a trip
hasn't been scheduled.
Of the opening of the school
The school opened, although this is not certain, on the first of september 996. This was the start of proper magical
education, and the foundation of all magic to come. For example, Transfiguration, this was not called so before, but
was referred to as the magic of metamorphoses, or of changing things to other things. Godric Gryffindor taught two
subjects, depending on which year he was teaching. He taught students transfiguration from 1st to 5th year, and Defence
agaisnt the dark arts to those from 5th to 7th. Professor Alan Jopretch did the same, but opposite taking Defence ATDA from
1st to 5th and Transfiguration from 5th to 7th. Professor Igwald Gaddle taught charms, Salazar Slytherin, Potions, Rowena
Ravenclaw taught Arithmancy, Professor Jean Bluestone taught Divination, and Professor Harvey Kiola taught Astromony.
Helga Hufflepuff was a substitute and house head.
Of new subjects
In 997, the founders realised that the curriculum needed more subjects, Herbology was suggested by Helga Hufflepuff.
She had studied the properties of plants and herbs used in potions and medicine for many years, and was well learned
in the subject, so that was made a subject, and Greenhouses were built behind the school, in a perfect location for
the sun. Ravenclaw thought of Care of Magical Creatures, as many students wished to work with animals. A man called
Jack Og was brought in. His great great great great great great great great great grandson became Groundskeeper in 1949.
Of Examinations: Owls and Newts
Examinations were introduced in 999, three years after the school opened. Examinations were now required for the top jobs,
like working at the GOBODOWAW, or, from 1003 onwards, to work as a healer in Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies (later
changed to St. Mungos). OWLs were taken in 5th year. Its stands for Ordinary Wizarding Levels. Newts, the Nastily Exhausting
wizarding tests were taken in seventh year, and were required for the very top and hardest jobs.
Of The Sorting Hat
Each of the founders were in their sixties, but did still have a long time ahead and were each immensely powerful, but
who to choose the students in each house after they had gone? Gryffindor said A Headmaster will rule, instead of us four,
but he will not sort. He took the hat of his head and into it put the qualities he looked for in the his students, and
the others did the same, but the hat lay in a cupboard, until the fateful day, when more than one of them should die.
Of Dispute between the founders
Slytherin, who had fought on the side of Good in the battle of mornad-srée, had always shown tendencies towards Dark Magic,
and his manner was not as polite, his intentions not as noble, as the other three founders. He had been very strict towards
whom he allowed into his house, and soon he would only let those of pure blood in. The year this started was 1007. Gryffindor
intervened, and normal service resumed, but Slytherin never forgot.
of Return to racism and attempted take-over
Slytherin indeed, never forgot, and in 1015, again, would not let those of muggle family, even those who had one parent
a muggle into his house. Gryffindor, again intervened, but Slytherin did not stop. He then said that only Pure-Bloods
should be allowed in at all, and called his fellow teachers "Mudblood Lovers" He then attempted to curse the students who
were of Half Blood, and was confronted by Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw and Gryffindor were not there, Slytherin had lured them to
the GOBODOWAW on business, leaving Hufflepuff alone to fight him. She was killed, but at that very moment, Gryffindor
appeared in the Great Hall with a flash of Fire, and dueled with slytherin. He disarmed him and tied him up with a tamed
devils snare. He was Azkhaban Prisons thirteenth ever inmate (the others being the surviving followers of Kalquoas).
of the Chamber of Secrets
it is now known (magically revised edition 489) that the mythical "Chamber of Secrets" built by Slytherin before he was
banished does exist. It is situated 1600 metres beneath the ground under hogwarts. Its entrance are the south east sink
on the column of sinks, Parseltongue is needed to open the tube, the slide, down to the "feeding area" The actual chamber
is lined with statues of snakes, with a statue of Slytherins head at the end. His mouth is home to the Basilisk, the giant
snake which lived there. The rest is a series of complex intricate sewers and tunnels, some of which connect to the pipes
and sewerage system in the actual castle. Slytherin built this most probably after his first confrontation about pure-bloods
with Gryffindor, in 1007.
of the sorting hats first use.
Ravenclaw and Gryffindor decided to keep on slytherins house, and with Hufflepuff gone, the students not picked bu Godric
or Rowena were sorted by the hat most perfectly. Two more teachers were now needed. Ewan Dragonis took over potions, and
Hufflepuffs daughter, Hilda, took over herbology.
of the death of Ravenclaw
Rowena Ravenclaw, wife of Godric Gryffindor, died at the age of 81, on Febuary the 19th, 1023, they're Fiftieth anniversary.
Ravenclaw had kept her name, as that was her name during war. This is newly discovered information (magically revised edition
473). They had one daughter, and one son, Roanna and Tom.
of Gryffindors sorrowful reign
His children now adults, he continued to run Hogwarts alone, being the first Headmaster. He built the office which has been
used ever since, and his picture now hangs directly above the desk, the largest of all and His sword on display. Gryffindor
was never the same since his wifes demises, and the Hat continued to sort her students, along with Hufflepuffs and Slyterins.
Gaddle and Jopretch both died in the same year, 1037. Gaddle was 77, Jopretch was 64. Gryffindor lived on, hired new staff
and continued to run.
Of the death of Gryffindor
Godric died at the age of 104, on the 6th of August, 1042. A Parade ran through the school in his honour, and a man called
Kedwhich Hibbert took his place.
of the hibbert period (1042 - 1072)
Proffessor Hibbert was the Headmaster of Hogwarts for twenty years after the death of Gryffindor. His reign passed without
any great incident and went through Hogwarts 50th anniversary. In 1068, Ancient Runes became a new subject.
