Title: Anything For You

Character: Godric Gryffindor

House: Gryffindor

Name: Dest; CityGirl419

A/N These are the five things Godric looked for in his house! They are bolded! (: Enjoy! Thanks to my beta, Heather! (:

After the dreadful meeting with his three friends, Godric Gryffindor went back to his quiet room in the newly built castle. They had decided to create a school for magic a little less than a year ago. The castle was finally built, and they were now trying to figure out how to make the school run. All the little things that made a school great needed to be ironed out.

Throughout the meeting, one thing for sure had been decided: there would be four houses. All of them would be named after the four founders, of course, but that was it. Nothing more was done. They would be having yet another meeting tomorrow afternoon. One that would probably last all night, like this one had.

Even thought they didn't actually come up with anything but the fact they were going to have four houses, they had an assignment to come up with five traits they had themselves. Since the four friends were almost completely different, they would use their traits as guidelines to what house each student should be in.

It was hard coming up with your own personality. Breaking it down into five traits that would be used to pick students for generations to come is even harder. He had to pick wisely, and not the bad ones, of course, but the good. First, he would start with what his friends had told him. Bravery. To him, that was his most prized trait; the fact that he would do anything that needed to be done. He would face a dragon if he needed to.

He felt that if he had brave people with brave people they could get alone quite well. Although, they may have a tendency to get in trouble since fear would be no problem for them. Godric thought that would be funny.

The next one that he knew would be a part of his list would be his Chivalry. He loved the fact that he was decent enough to be chivalrous, which was something he couldn't say for Salazar. Treating a woman with respect was very important to him. If you treat a girl like they want to be treated, the girl will more than likely stick around.

What else, though? What traits would Godric want the Gryffindor house to have? What traits did he even had? He searched his brain for things that his friends had once told him about his personality. Or maybe not his friends, but random people. Maybe even family.

Was daring, and bravery different? Could he use both as two different traits when they were in fact similar? Daring was boldness. While bravery was the readiness to face things. They were two traits, that just happen to be similar. He supposed it would work as two. So Daring, would be his third traits.

Godric sat there, with a quill and parchment with only three words written, attempting to think of only two more. This was where it got even harder. Trying to come up with the deep traits he had that he may not even have known about. His forehead crinkles in thought as he tried to come up with two more.

It was kind of sudden, the next trait that is. He didn't know why he didn't think of it before, as it kind of went hand in hand with his other traits. Courage. Again, it may be similar to the others but it was in fact different. Courage was about beating the inner fear. Overcoming your fear and facing it head on. Like someone afraid of heights going in an airplane, or even someone afraid of snakes touching one. His house will be the house of the warriors. Being able to fight for their one true love, just as he has throughout his entire life. Even if his love doesn't know that he loves her, or maybe even doesn't love hir back.

It was then that the last trait came to him. In the thought of his love, his one true love. The reason he existed. He would do anything to protect her. Even if that meant dying himself. So Self-Sacrifice, is the final trait.

Just as he had finished writing down the last trait a knock sounded at the door. Knowing there were only four people in the castle including Godric himself. He invited the person in. Already having a good idea as to who it was before they opened the door.

"My dear Godric, have you finished your list yet?" Helga asked him once she opened the door and saw him sitting on the loveseat next to the coach.

"I have just," he answered her, motioning for her to join me on the couch.

"Of course you have. So has Salazar, and even Rowena! I cannot think of any but one. Loyalty. You know how much I value my friends. You also know how hard it is for me to judge others. What if there is a child that does not fit any of our characteristics? What if someone is special? He or she could not be brave, like you. Nor cunning, like Salazar. Not even smart like Rowena? What then?" she finished ranting with a truly worried look on her face.

"Ah. That's my lovely Helga. It makes me go into my thought I had early, but never voiced. I was thinking, that what happens to after we pass. We cannot live forever! We need someone sufficient enough to sort students after. I was thinking of all of us putting our traits, and thoughts into an object that wouldn't wear. That would be able to last for century after century. Then, those thoughts would be transferred to the object and no student shall be left behind!" he told her with a huge grin on his face.

"Godric! That's brilliant! Oh thank you! Now I can stop worrying! We'll go over your idea tomorrow at the meeting!" She hugged him swiftly before exiting his quarters with a wonderful grin on his face.

"Anything for you, my love."
