Chapter 1
Even from a young age Rowena's parents knew that she would be special. But they did not know that their daughter would be as great as she was. They never knew what their daughter would have to face. She would grow up to be a great witch, a mother, wife and a founder of the greatest school of magic.
She would face death, love, basilisks and so much more and nothing her parents could do would prepare her for any of it.
Rowena's parents died when she was just fourteen years old. She was left with her godparents, Gregory and Hilary Gryffindor, and their son, Godric Gryffindor. The Gryffindor family continued to raise her and teach her to properly use her gifts. Magically, she rose past the level that they could teach. The roles then reversed. Rowena taught Godric. During the first two years that Rowena lived with her adopted family, her and Godric met two other very accomplished people. A witch, Helga Hufflepuff, and a wizard, Salazar Slytherin. Together they created a place that would change the lives of the witches and wizards of the future. But it involved a lot of time, effort and complications.
