"Why don't you go ahead and ask her for a date Godric?" asked Helga nudging his shoulder and taking a drink of her fire whiskey.3

"You know why Helga, shes Salazar's girl. And I couldn't flirt with my best friends girlfriend." he told her looking her in the eye. 4

"But you know how Salazar treats her, like shes worth less then him. Rowena deserves better then that. She deserves you." Helga had had a crush on Godric since the day they met but he never thought of her as more then a friend, he didn't even know she liked him that way only Rowena did, and Helga knew he'd never return the feelings.5

"Yeah but the four of us have been friends since we all found out we were witches and wizards. And we each got assigned a mentor to teach us how to control our powers." Godric said in a lowered voice so others in the muggle bar wouldn't overhear their conversation. Rowena was getting them some more drinks and Salazar was gone for a few days so he could visit his father who was dying. Though that's who they were waiting for.6

They were sitting in a muggle bar in the middle of London waiting for Salazar to arrive, even though he was visiting his dying father they were going to discuss their plans for the future of the Wizard world. They each had an idea and they needed to put their heads together and start making something happen. Just then there was a silence in the room as every head turned to the door. Godric smiled, everyone did this when ever Salazar Slytherin entered a room the man was to handsome too even look at and it didn't help that he had a commanding presents. 7

Godric turned his head slightly to chance a glance at Rowena who stood standing by the bar. Of course she was staring transfixed at Salazar. It had always been like this even when they were kids growing up, Salazar had always gotten every woman Godric wanted, and he wanted Rowena. They were all best friends but to look at them you'd think they were all complete opposites, which in fact they were in looks and personality.8

Salazar had raven black hair that went to his shoulders and slate grey eyes. He was taller then Godric by about a foot. And was the bad boy of the group the one that lived on the edge, The one that liked to take impulsive action. He had an unheard of gift of talking to snakes. Each was an animagus and he changed into the deadliest looking snake you could have ever seen.9

Godric was his complete opposite. He had dark short red hair and eyes the color of deep brown with golden flecks set in. He was the bravest of them all, And displayed courage in even the scariest situations.  Godric was good looking but no where near Salazar's caliber. He was the fighter of the group, the one they all looked up to, the leader. When he changed into his animagus he was the powerful lion. 10

Now Helga was the soft spoken of the group, always the mediate between arguments. She had soft flowing honey brown hair and the most deep blue eyes you had ever seen. She never judged and respected all things for what they were. Whenever one of the group had a problem they always talked it over with Helga. She had a soft beauty, and understanding eyes though she was short she wasn't fat but small and curvy. Everyone when they first saw her wanted her, though she never dated any muggle or wizard for that matter, because she was waiting for Godric to notice her. Her animal to change into was the badger because she loved the earth.11

Rowena well Rowena was about as tall as Godric and never afraid to voice her opinion. She was always voicing her views on things and never thought she was wrong. That's why they loved her she always jumped right into the middle of things. She had strait long silvery blond hair and hazel-green eyes. She was quite beautiful and often caused jealousy among other woman though she would never mean to. She hated having enemies so if there was someone who hated her or was mad at her she'd charge right up to them and befriend them. Rowena was the smartest always either lost in discussion or lost in a book. Whenever she changed into animal form she became an eagle because she said they were smart and fast.12

Godric remembered back to when they were kids before they even started to train as witches and wizards. Back then they were hardly ever apart, calling themselves the magic four. He even remembered the password they had to say when they wanted into the clubhouse. They were good times but now they were here and going to discuss the future of the wizarding world because they were a dying breed. You could count the number of witches and wizards in London with two hands. Shaking off his memories Godric watched Rowena come toward there back table and sit across from Helga, as they waited for Salazar to join them.13

"He really loves that doesn't he?" sighed Rowena as though exasperated but said with a loving smile as they watched Salazar make his way to them but walking slowly so he could stop and talk to the other patrons.14

"Yeah, Row you know he does" Helga said taking another drink of her whiskey while Rowena sipped her beer.15

As Salazar drew up to their table Godric nudged Helga and gave her a sly smile. "Hey Salazar took you long enough to get here since you entered, you at least get any phone numbers" Laughed Godric.16

"Ha Ha very funny Godric, but I got the only number I want an she's sitting at this table." He said and bent at the waist to kiss Rowena on the cheek.17

Godric just being funny turned to Helga."When did you give him your number Helga?" 18

"Godric that's not funny!"Though she was smiling.19

Salazar was just getting ready to sit across from Godric when Godric nudged Helga again.20

"Hey, how do we know it's really you Slytherin, hmmmm oh I know.. Whats the password?"21

Rowena and Helga burst out laughing while Salazar sent Godric an annoyed look. Then clearing his throat and standing strait he said "Hogwarts......there happy...now can we get serious.?" he asked and sat down next to Rowena and put his arm around her shoulder.22

"Yes, now what are we going to do? Our people are dying out, we need to take drastic action!" stated Rowena in a stern voice.23

"Well I thought maybe a school, for our kind, witches and wizards." said Helga in a small but firm voice.24

"That's perfect! A School!" And Godric kissed her impulsively on the cheek, and for some reason wanted to do it again.25

"NO, we don't have enough children to make a school only what like ten pure bloods out there, we need more."stated Slytherin26

"Well I was thinking we could look all around the country for muggle born kids that have the ability or half bloods if there are any" said Helga once more.27

"Half bloods, Muggle borns, we should keep this in only wizard families." Salazar shouted at her.28

Rowena could see that this could turn into a full blown argument and offered an idea. "Maybe we could each teach our own students but all in one place. Salazar you could have all pure bloods in your group and they could be the loyal ones too. Godric you'd teach the Brave and the strong. I could take the ones that were smart and coolest in situations. And Helga you could....."29

"I could take the ones who's feet were firmly planted on the ground the problem solvers and all the ones who don't fit into any group." Said Helga with a smile.30

"Now that that's settled we need to find a school to teach, and give it a name.."thought Godric aloud.31

"Oh I know, that old castle our parents used to say was haunted the one set by that magnificent lake.....Oh you remember....the one Salazar's dad showed us when he took us all flying that one day."said Rowena excitedly.32

"And I have just the name for our school, Our password from when we were younger....Hogwarts." stated Salazar quietly.33

"Oh remember when we were trying to come up with a name, it took us forever, then Rowena decided to use the First letter of all our names and we just added the other letters to come up with it..." Helga remembered.34

"Okay it's official and I think we should keep the starting age where there old enough to learn but young enough to be taught so should we say eleven for the ones starting out and even get some of the older ones, how about eleven through seventeen?" he waited for everyone to nod then continued. "Now when we leave tonight go in search of children with magic and when we get to school we will sort them, And yes Salazar recruit even muggle borns, because you don't get your pure bloods until we have them all back at the school." Godric waited for Salazar to agree then told them all that he would have a wand maker waiting for the kids at the school.35

"Just find them, don't talk to them until we have the school ready we're only searching right now, after two months meet back here and we will all go to the castle and work our magic on it." Said Rowena putting her word in.   36
