This is 4 all my friends; Queen Delia, minimickey008, firedraike08, Pancake278 among the main ones who use fanfic. Well, here it is… The Forgotten Hogwarts House!

Oh, hang on… Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters, Hogwarts, or anything else apart from the plot and Loretta Leoparda. NOW, we can get on with the story…

Prologue:

It was not always this way. On a night similar to this all those years ago, five great sorcerers founded what was to become one of the greatest magic schools in the world – Hogwarts. These founding sorcerers were Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor and Loretta Leoparda. That's right- contrary to popular belief; there were not four founders, but five. Leoparda, as I am sure you will not have heard of her, was considered the most beautiful witch to ever have walked the planet. She took only those she thought worthy of being in her house. As I am sure you can guess, she took none but the beautiful witches. However, her beauty became a hazard to the entire school. Gryffindor and Slytherin began to fight over who was more worthy of Loretta. Eventually, Gryffindor overcame Slytherin, and this is the true reason that Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets. Gryffindor practically banished Slytherin from the castle. This was not the end, however. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff decided that Leoparda had become too much of a threat to the safety of the school, and she had already created a rift between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Therefore, they persuaded Slytherin to join their cause, giving them a majority, and had Leoparda banished entirely from the school. Her House was erased and all memory of her connections with the school was destroyed. However, before she left the school, she left a Room, similar to Slytherin's, and told no one. I, however, the Sorting Hat, brainchild of all five founders, have knowledge of this tragic time in history, and every day await the return of Leoparda to the School…

Present day:

Fred and George Weasley had really done it this time. Detention. Again. Here they were, stuck with their nemesis, Filch, in the Forbidden Forest. Trying to find any sign of an explosion he claims he heard in there. In other words, he was dragging them into the forest for nothing. Filch was a couple of paces ahead, Mrs. Norris at his side. He turned around and – the Weasley twins were gone.

"What the-! Well, my pretty, looks like we could have some fun tonight after all. You know what to do." Mrs. Norris darted off, following the trail of the escaped students.

Meanwhile, Fred and George ran for their lives, not caring where they were going. Eventually, just when they thought their lungs would burst, they found a tree with a hollow in it, just big enough for them to fit into. Fred climbed up to investigate. He climbed in and lit his wand. At what he saw there, it was all he could do to say, "George, you better come check this out."

Once George was up, he too was shocked by what he saw. They had stumbled into a chamber covered in purple. Purple drapes, carpets, chairs – purple everywhere. They walked over to one of the tapestries before crying out in shock. There before them, was a crest almost identical to the ones that were used in Hogwarts. But it was purple, with a leopard on it. And there, across the leopard, was the word, "Leoparda". Fred reached out and touched the tapestry, and suddenly they heard a strange click.

At that same moment, a new banner appeared beside the others.

The house of Leoparda had returned.
