Authors' Notes:

Ookami: Thank you to Hermit 532 for the amazing story Riddle and the Ancient Contract, the story this is based off of! Me and Neko were reading this and have thought of many story ideas to go along with it. This is the cutest of the havoc we can cause on them!

Neko: The story really is great and this fic will be based around that time line, though it is still a in-progress fic, we are going to work with what can. I suggest reading it first otherwise this may or probably will be very very confusing.

Okami: Just as a reminder to those who like stalking the authors of the actual books, WE DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER SERIES IN ANY WAY! WE DO NOT OWN THIS WORLD NOR DO WE OWN THE CASTLE! All of that would be really cool if we did though...

Holly: ... ahem...

Okami: Right, back on topic. Riddle and the Ancient Contract is amazing and not our idea either, but we are using the idea to expand on such an awesome world created. So, let's have some background information now!

Hogwart's Forgotten History: Abridged

By Angel and Zephora!

Long long time ago there was Merlin and all those famous wizards and witches that created... Wait... That is a bit too far... Oops~ Right, Hogwarts was started by 4 amazingly powerful witches and wizards. Salazar Slytherin was an awesome dark wizard that was nervous of the humans because they tended to be mean to magic creatures. Rowena Ravenclaw was really smart and was able to hold conversations with the smartest magicals of the world. Helga Hufflepuff was very loyal to the idea of teaching students their amazing gifts and would not abandon their goals. And Godric Gryffindor, what a weird name by the way, was very brave and did all that he could to protect the school in honor and power. Actually, they all kinda have weird names in muggle standards... And a bit in the wizarding world too. Interesting!

Anyway, thanks to some big misunderstanding, the four split up after a while. And when it came to them having to leave the school to another, they gave the wizarding government of Great Britain the power to preside over the board of governors that would monitor the school until the founders claimed it again. And so the school went under several headmasters and changes over the centuries. About 500 years ago a new family was born, and they brought a new house into the esteemed school of Hogwarts, the Design house. The reason the new Hogwarts house was needed was for the safety of the newest type of students, ones who took the saying magic creature inheritance past what was previously thought was even remotely possible by the general wizarding populace. The ability to become the creature in their blood completely, as well as call upon its power in their human forms! If that wasn't cool enough, the family that the house was named after had the proud honor of being considered the guardians of the school. The downside is that the first transformation is never expected and scared people tend to be really mean.

About 300 years ago the whole Desainna family vanished for no real good reason and so the house was closed down and couldn't be opened till another of the family came to the school. Which is weird cause the whole family vanished, so how did they know another would show up? I guess the answer is simple, magic.

The Blessed Curse Of The Transformation

By... It's a Secret~

The ability to turn into the creature(s) that your blood possesses was seen as both a blessing and a curse, a blessing for battle magic and ability with spells, and of course akin creatures but a curse for those who think of you as a freak, for the inability to have a completely normal life, your maturity can come early, and there is a time in your youth when you will gain the ability to transform but it is also when you are at your most vulnerable, because for a certain amount of days depending on what you are you are stuck in that form, talking also depends on your creature, you may be stuck in an unfamiliar form for a week without being able to communicate to anyone. Another thing is you are destined to have a mate, and only that mate, you still can go and date and get pregnant all that type of stuff with someone else but you will always feel like you are missing something, or someone, they could be anyone, but many families like in the wizarding world have stopped caring about that and rather marry to keep the ability up, for a while children of the families have started to lose the ability to transform into the creatures of their blood, though something has happened within the last 10-15 years for the ability has entrusted itself into the youth of today, whether they want it or not.
