Chapter Two: First Students

Three months later, the school was ready to open. The four founders decided that it would open every year on the first day of September.

Godric wasn't sure how he, his co-founders, and those who had helped them had finished building the massive castle in just less than four months. And yet, the first set of arriving students were selected and notified of their selection.

The night before the school was set to open, Godric approached his sister.

"Helga… I… I'm scared about tomorrow."

"I'm nervous, too, but I've been telling myself that they're just children. There's nothing wrong with children."

"I know that. That's not why, though." He sighed. "I'm terrified of failing."

"Godric, listen to me. You won't fail. Trust me."
