Prologue:
A Legend of Founding
Two women and two men came together over one thousand years ago with an idea in mind, a bold and cunning idea. Their goal was to build a school. However this school was not to be an ordinary school, it would be a school of witchcraft and of wizardry. Unlike the other magic school of the time it would accept all regardless of ancestry and age.
Only one problem existed, the problem of mundane, the non-magical folk. They were breaking out of their imposed era of ignorance and were exploring the world. A school such as one they wanted to build would not go unnoticed. Disappointed at their revelation the four witches and wizards made a vow. Each would set off on their own explorations and find something to help in the building of their school and something to keep it from the hateful ideals of the mundane. With their vows binding them and the date set for their next meeting they left. One wizard went immediately to a trusted advisor and the other set off in hopes of luck. The witches however stayed together for a brief period of time. Both of then knew they needed help, and not the help mere humans were limited to. Together they scoured libraries looking for anything that could assist them. The wise witch found her answers first and set off to look in other worlds. The patient witch took much longer but she too set off to other worlds with help in mind and hope in heart.
3 years later
Three years after four young, hopeful witches and wizards set off on a quest for help in the building of their vision all four returned. Each one of them brought others with them. The wizard, Godric Gryffindor, who had asked a trusted advisor for help had returned with three people of fire, Hatake Kakashi, Roy Mustang, and Zuko. All of them were injured or handicapped in the eyes of the other wizard. Two were missing an eye and one had a large burn scar on half of his face.
The second wizard, Salazar Slytherin privately believed his help was best. With him he had brought three beings of death. One true Shinigami called Ryuk, a self-proclaimed Shinigami, Duo Maxwell and a lord of the afterlife, Koenma. Who could protect better from death than death himself.
The wise witch had brought three of power. One was a mage whose power was quite literally unparalled. This mage had only a simple address of Fai and he steered quite clear of everyone expressing interest only in the forest. The other two she had brought with her were bitter enemies she had trapped in unbreakable vows. One was a thief lord with a sharpness not seen in men, he addressed himself as Bakura. The last was a magician as well, a magician of the shadows and his name was Set.
The final member of this group came to the clearing and the others looked on in anger. The patient witch, Helga Hufflepuff, had brought nothing with her. Before words could fly she explained the absence of her helpers. All were demons and wished not enter into something that they did not know the outcome of. However, is all four of them would swear to bear no grudge against the demons Helga need just call and they would come.
Tempers flared and magic sang until they all came to decision. It was decreed that all four would accept the help of demons if they, with their longetivity would allow all the helpers to come back in one thousand years to judge the progress of the school. Helga called and all three came and held council with all the others who had come to help. A charm was given to each and in one thousand years all would be summoned to evaluate the school.
With camaraderie all began to work. Slowly but surely a castle began to form, then the work was suddenly done and all but the four witches and wizards went to their homes to wait until they were summoned back. Hogwarts had been built and it was up to Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw to fill it up and make it last.
