Gemma paused just for a second and waited for another answer before continuing, "You all have some great ideas! Sadly that is something that has never been found in any records, so we can only speculate what the Founders meant when naming Hogwarts. I'm sure since they were four exceptional wizards there was an amazing meaning, and even perhaps, one that one of you mentioned." she said with a smile and slight shrug of her shoulders.

She hoped she wasn't overwhelming them with information but she knew there was just so much stuff that the students knew about Hogwarts but they just never really thought about deeply, "Now I want you to think about the motto of Hogwarts: 'Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus' or Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon or sometimes it's translated Always let a sleeping dragon lie." she let that sink in for a moment and then continued, "Now think about the different houses and the success of the school because of the four houses working together. What do you think the Founders meant by choosing such a random motto?"

Daisy raised her hand again, she was going to have a shot at this question.
'Maybe they wanted an intresting motto, like to show the school was different from other magic schools, if there were any. It might be a metaphor?' she said. 'Or maybe it's related to a story, like a fable.'
