Chapter Twelve

One week later Godric still had nightmares. He would thrash about in the tent till Rowena would come in bleary eyed and tell him to "stop acting like a four year old Godric and forget what happened." then Salazar would laugh and Helga would giggle and he would glare at them. Then the girls would go back to there tent. But not that night.

Godric woke to Rowena shaking his shoulders gently, he looked around tiredly and sat up. Helga was trying, and failing, to wake up a fast asleep Sal who was muttering in his sleep.

"Yes mother, I would like butter on my toast." Salazar murmured.

"Wakey wakey Sally!” Godric said loudly and boisterously. He grabbed the blankets and pulled them out from under Salazar.

Salazar yelled. His black hair was untidy and he was very annoyed. He scrambled up and brushed off his sleep-robes.

“Come you two we must talk.” Rowena said. She was dressed in her dark blue nightgown, her long hair was back in a plait and she spoke softly, as if in a dream. She was very tired but it was nearly dawn and well, the expression was “seize the day.” When the four were in a circle by the lake she began to speak.

“We need to discuss the school. What shall we call it? What should it look like? What classes do we offer? Who will teach them? Who will attend? How long will they attend? What safety precautions will we--”

“Ro, I think we need to think about these one at a time.” Godric said reasonably.

She sighed. “You know, I really hate it when you’re right.”

“Ooh! So do I!” Salazar said. Godric laughed.

“How about we explore for a bit?” Godric asked, he was always the adventurous soul. “I shall go North, Sal South, Rowena West and Helga East.”

“That sounds good, that way I can avoid the lake!” Rowena said cheerily.

The four split up.

Helga wandered toward the lake. It seemed perfectly normal and pristine at the surface but who knew what enigmas lurked beneath the glass-like top? She saw a bird leave it’s nest and she started. She took a deep breath and veered towards the south edge of the lake, away from the sinister looking cliff Please don’t let me fall in she thought. She found the scenery rather pleasing on the edge of the unknown forest and continued walking along.

Rowena walked away from the lake and came to a garden. Helga will love this she thought and looked around. There were all kinds of flowers but the ones that caught her attention were four large blooms in the center. The first had alternating blue and bronze petals. My favorite colors! she thought. The next was red and gold Godric’s, the one after yellow and black Helga’sand the last was silver and green. Sal’s, isn’t that something to think about.

Godric stood at the base of the cliff, he took a step forward and bean to climb the old, slippery steps upward. When he reach the top what he saw amazed him. A giant castle speared out before him. He now knew why anyone bothered to build steps up the cliff. He wondered briefly if any one was living there but it looked utterly abandoned. Godric Leslie (yeah laugh all you want) Gryffindor grinned, he was going to enjoy exploring this place. Yep, as sure as his socks were purple polka-dotted.

Salazar entered the forest, it was so big and scary, but he was a big boy and wouldn’t freak out about the creepy shadows that the trees cast and the occasional rustle of the bushes. He didn’t like it one bit. All of a sudden there was a rustling in front of him. He froze terrified. He turned, but he realized he had nowhere to go. He was lost. He turned to face whatever had made the noise. He screamed, loudly.

The other three heard his scream and rushed into the forest, battling the thorns and underbrush. When the reached Salazar he was down on his knees, praying to Merlin out loud and his eyes were squeezed shut. Next to him with it’s fluffy little head cocked, was nothing more then a mere bunny rabbit.

End of Chapter Twelve

HAHA!!!
This chapter was so funny!!!
I think that Godric totally sounds like a Leslie! LOL
Dont ask me why but I absolutely luv the Sal in ur story!!!
He is awsome!!
Ok bye!
~Abby~

yeah, as you can see people i used some of your ideas and hrmy may use some more

a bunny? Poor sal. Cant wait for more, PAMS!

I don't get it.... is Salazar screaming because of the rabbit....? Or is he screaming because he's lost??? And why Leslie??? lol great story

Well either Salazar is immensely afraid of cute little fluffy bunny rabbits, or he thinks there's something really scary about to attack him and he hasn't yet seen it's just a cute little fluffy bunny rabbit.


Don't know about the Leslie part. I think it's because Godric is this big strong brave powerful dude and then he had a really un-big-strong-brave-powerful middle name. (A girl's name in fact!) It was supposed to be funny.

Cool chapter!!Totally SNORTED(LOL) at poor silly Sally(don wanna b rude 2 u sal).

yup, leslie is a girlish name but it can be a guys name too, oh and my sister was like "I wonder what snape's middle name is, I bet it's miranda..." i thought the was so funny!

Miranda? are you kidding me? It's actually Tobias, that was his dad's name.

I am almost down writing the next chappie but then I still have to type it and stuff.

Ok peeps, me and hrmy have a problem... should we include helena? if so who should be the father? Godric? Salazar (my sis would kill me)? Some random dude? ROLF SCAMANDER?!

oh and i need to write fluff- i'm not writing lunaxdeatheater or lunaxollivnder or justinxjulius! (refer to my other fics)

I said Rolf Scamander Senior. (The father of the dude Luna married.) Anyway, that's a good point. We need feedback from our readers.

hrmy, they lived a thousand years or more ago...

Maybe he knew Nicolas Flamel...

I'm done writing the chappie, I'll type it later today.

yeah you did

Sorry I haven't put it up yet, we have standardized testing and I have been under stress. But I will try to put it up soon, I promise!

OK here it is. Not the best I've written, but that's okay.


Chapter Thirteen

The day after Salazar's near-death encounter with the killer bunny rabbit, the four woke up to a beautiful sunny day.

Godric was the first to wake. Laughing to himself at his brilliant plan, he rummaged in his bag until he found the stuffed rabbit that had come with his Muggle "magic tricks" set. He put it on Salazar's pillow, next to his head so that it would be the first thing he saw when he woke up. Godric straightened up and said loudly, "Oh no! Salazar! Wake up, wake up, there's a monster about to chew your head off!"

Salazar woke up, saw the rabbit, and sat bolt upright, screaming bloody murder. He looked over at Godric, who was leaning against the side of the tent, laughing his head off. Salazar glowered at him and henceforth decided not to speak to him the rest of the day. He got up, pushed his way past the still-guffawing Godric, and stormed out.

Helga, having woken up to Sal's scream, was already up and cooking breakfast. She looked up as Sal came out of his tent and sat beside her. She giggled. "Good morning, Sal. Have nice dreams?" She had not been in on the joke, but had guessed what had happened.

Salazar raised his eyebrows at her. His scowl melted into a smile at the sight of her twinkling eyes. It was hard to stay unhappy with ever-happy Helga around. "Let me do that," he offered, taking the spoon from her. Salazar looked over at her. "Hel?" he asked hesitantly. "Are you...afraid of anything silly to be scared of?"

Helga looked over at him like he had grown an extra head and named it Archibald. "Of course, Sal, you know that I'm scared of purple puffskeins. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal to be scared of little bunny rabbits. You're just being silly." She leaned over and kissed his cheek, and got up to collect water for the day, as Rowena still refused to go near the lake.

Salazar stared after her for a moment, then turned his attention back to the pot with a shake of his head.

After breakfast, Rowena went off to explore the area some more. Godric accompanied her. They skirted the lake area, and Godric showed her the abandoned castle he had found.
"Wow! I wonder who used to live here?" exclaimed Rowena. "Look!" She grabbed Godric's hand and ran up the hill to the entrance, where four tattered banners swung in the breeze. "A yellow badger...Helga's favorite animal! And a red lion...yours, Ric...and a green serpent...Sal's. This is odd...oh! A blue raven. My favorite. How extremely odd."

Godric nodded, speechless. "Would you look at that...I think it's time we showed this ruin to the other two, Ro."

End of Chapter Thirteen

You know, I've just realized, Sal being afraid of the bunny reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Go random danger-prone medieval knights who are not afraid of the Knights who until recently said Ni! Woot! Yeah...

they found Hogwarts! YAY! *thinks* but in the book didnt they build it from scratch? or maybe they will...i have no clue lol. great chapter PAMS!

I dont know if you noticed this, but it said that she went off by herself, and Godric accompanied her, so you might want to change that, but what do i know?

Well, they probably did build it from scratch but i haven't read the earlier books in forever!

It never actually said. Jo never put that bit of information in. So I decided it for everyone! It did say that Sal built the Chamber of Secrets though, so I will have them rebuild some parts. (Or Susi can put that in. I don't care)

Oh yeah! Thanks for pointing that out.

EDIT: if you look now, I fixed it.
