In the beginning, there were four. Four friends, who were selected by the Ministry of Magic to turn a castle destroyed by a battle, into a solitude for teenagers to study magic. There was a nearby town, called Hogsmeade and the people of the town welcomed the four and offered any help needed to make the soon to be school, the best school ever imagined.The founders took the townsfolk's word and regularly, went to town in need of supplies and other necessities.
Months passed and slowly the castle started to look and feel more like a school. Beds were in place, wardrobes were set up, fireplaces were ready to be lit and class rooms were stocked with the best tools and equipment that one could get in 950 AD. Letters were being written to offer the best know and strongest willed wizards and witches known through out Europe to become teachers at the school. While the founders were waiting for the letters to return about the decisions from the witches and wizards about teaching. The minister of magic appeared and approved of the school and appointed his deputy minister of magic to be the head master. The founders all agreed that they were all in good hands and showed the new headmaster around the school.
All the positions have been filled for teachers and letters were sent out for students to begin school in the fall. So how far will your new life go in the beginning of Hogwarts? HomeRules Sorting Ceremony
