The times when the Founders agreed on something was far between and few. But there were times when they stood united without any sort of discussion or questioning. That was the case when Protection Wards were mentioned.

Helga sat next to Godric on the floor. She was resting her head onto his shoulder and one of his arms were wrapped around her waist. He looked deep in thought as he read the book that rested on his legs.

Helga loved watching him. It brought an indescribable joy to her heart seeing him getting lost in a task, like reading. She couldn't, and wouldn't imagine what it would be like if he wasn't there. If Godric was…

"We need Protection Wards." She said loud enough for Rowena and Salazar to tear themselves from their respective tasks to look at her.

Helga could feel Godric looking at her form the corner of her eye and she felt him pull her just a little bit closer.

"I don't think any parent would let their child leave if the place they were going to weren't completely safe and protected from the world." She added after none of them spoke. "We should be able to ensure their safety. We should be able to protect them from the world."

No one argued with her. No one asked why she came with the idea seemingly out of nowhere. But Helga could tell that Godric knew. He knew that even though she said that the Protection Wards would be for the sake of the parents that it would also be for her, for them, so that Helga could make sure that the world didn't harm her loved ones either. Everyone agreed that Protection Wards were needed.
