HOGWARTS RETURN OF THE FOUNDERS

Prologue: Death of a Founder

In a high tower of Hogwarts stood a lady all dressed in gray she was known as the Gray Lady but she hated that name for deep inside of her she was still Helena RavenClaw

"She is dead." Helena said "My mother is dead." She looked down at the court yard watching the remaining three founders mourn over the loss of Rowena RavenClaw founder of RavenClaw. Helena could faintly hear what they were saying.

"Salazar what happened tell me." Godric asked his friend.

"I was just walking through the halls and then I heard her scream and when I got there she was just barely alive there was nothing I could do and her Diadem is gone." Salazar struggled to speak.

"I couldn't find Helena any where I sent Rowen to look for her." Helga said "I can't believe that Rowena is dead." She sniffed trying oh so hard not to cry.

"Come on we have to head to town for her funeral." Godric said as the three of them began to walk to the town sadly.

"Do you guys remember back when we first built the school when we walked across this bridge for the first time?" Helga asked them

"Yes it seems just like yesterday we had made the school." Salazar said his locket gripped in his hand. "And when we first opened classes."

When they arrived in town many people came out of the shops and walked with the three founders to the graveyard were students from all four houses were already there waiting by the grave waiting for Rowena to be buried. The students from RavenClaw faces were grim filled with sadness over the loss of the head and founder of RavenClaw. Salazar, Godric and Helga stood nearest to the grave as the coffin holding Rowena was placed in the grave.

"Rowena RavenClaw was a friend, teacher, mother, wife, and Founder." Godric began the ceremony. "She was also wise and an advice giver she always looked for the wise solution to problems never the easy way out." Then Helga began to speak.

"She was a great friend and was wise and kind she was so loyal and made sure her students understood what they were learning and knew how to remember their lessons." Helga then looked at Salazar letting him know he could now speak.

"I was the one that found Rowena if I could I would have switched places with her for she would have given her life to save her friends and never attacked anyone unless her friends or family were in danger." Salazar found it hard to speak as the cold winter wind blew through the graveyard. "She was kind and always knew just what to do." Several students were crying missing her remembering how kind yet a bit strict Rowena was and how she was just trying to teach them right from wrong.

After Rowena had been buried and everyone left a cloaked figure walked to the grave her cloak a gray.

"Mother rest in peace." Helena whispered then disappeared into the cold winter night.

End of beginning.
