Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 100: Final Chapter: Gryffindor and the Stone Lion

Godric Gryffindor was born in a wizarding family. He has shown amazing talent since he was a child, and he is a true genius.

No matter what, he can learn it immediately, whether it is magic or swordsmanship, among his peers, no one is his opponent.

His parents never doubted that he would be a great wizard.

Gryffindor believes this too, he has always been like this, confident, proud, and fearless.

When he was about to go out to practice at the age of 15, his parents handed him a long sword and asked him to wear it with him.

Gryffindor asked: We are wizards, why do we have to wear swords when we go out?

His parents told him: When you go out, you must not let others know that you are a wizard. This saber is for your self-defense.

Gryffindor didn't understand it very much at first, but he didn't care. He didn't need magic to walk in the world. He could solve all dangers with his swordsmanship. Since his parents had orders, he would not disobey them. He also believed in them. I can find the reason myself.

He passed through villages infested by monsters one after another, and killed many monsters with his long sword, and he was supported by the people.

Once, he got drunk at a banquet and proudly claimed to be a magician, and the next day he woke up in a cold sweat, because he knew that ordinary people didn't welcome wizards, but people didn't care and still liked him ,Respect him.

This made Gryffindor very happy. He felt that ordinary people might not have too much prejudice against wizards, and their parents' instructions might be too cautious.

But, it turns out, his parents were right.
One day, a powerful monster attacked a village. Gryffindor happened to pass by, took out his sharp sword, and fought with it for three hundred rounds, losing.

So he drew his wand, and the monster was easily slain by him.

But when he returned from the blood, what greeted him was not the grateful eyes of the villagers, but the eyes of fear and hatred.

He was driven out by the villagers.

Gryffindor didn't care at first, one can't expect everyone to like him, so he left the village cooperatively and continued his journey.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation, and he was hunted down.

The people who chased him called themselves Templars, they came from the church.

Gryffindor even saw wanted notices for himself in many places, and the wanted notices read - "Evil Red-haired Wizard", without a name, so Gryffindor knew that it was the people in that village who gave him Reported.

Gryffindor was a little angry, helpless, and confused, what gave these mortals the confidence to hunt down a wizard?
Until he met the pastor of the church, he understood.

Because the Templars couldn't find Gryffindor, the church sent their priest, and the priest of the church could use magic.

Gryffindor was shocked, FMD your priest is also a wizard, you actually want to arrest me?Is there any law left? !

But the church would not reason with him. With the help of a magical 'priest', Gryffindor was almost caught carelessly several times. In desperation, he could only start to "flee".

In order to get rid of the pursuit of the church, he traveled to several countries, changed his appearance, hid in Tibet, and spent a period of unruly time. (dog head)

Because of his strength, he didn't pay much attention to the church's pursuit. At first, he even thought it was fun to have someone chasing after him.

But Gryffindor slipped around, he was lost.

Because wherever he went, consciously or unconsciously, he would come into contact with a lot of news about wizards, and what he saw along the way constantly washed away his three views.

There was a terrifying giant dragon, which killed people like hemp, but he personally beheaded him.

There was an evil wizard who created a terrible plague to slaughter mortals, and was beheaded by him.

The promising, rich and unkind mortal lord colluded with the wizard to eat human flesh and blood, and was beheaded by him.

A pastor of a church used spells to hypnotize a village to cheat money and sex in the name of God. He was beheaded by himself.

He has also seen vampires who were noticed by the church because they liked to drink chicken blood, and then "purified" in batches.

I have seen a werewolf who couldn't control himself, transformed on a full moon night, and was slaughtered by the priest of the church.

I have seen the silent child who destroyed the entire village because he couldn't control himself, and was finally shot to death by the knights of the church.

He also heard that many children who had just awakened their magic power were burned alive by the villagers as demons...

He discovered that this world is not beautiful.

The farther he went and the more he saw, the sadder he became.

A warm and cheerful young man with a shadow in his heart.

Mortals, wizards, demons, and the self-deceiving church are all fighting with each other, regardless of the reason, they will never stop dying.

Gryffindor didn't understand, why do humans always hurt each other?

Gryffindor returned to his hometown, and he asked his parents this question, but his parents had no way to give an answer.

So he decided to go on a journey alone to travel around the countries again, he wanted to find an answer by himself, and seek a way to stop people's meaningless fights.

This time he knew that he couldn't reveal his identity as a wizard, so he became a "Duel".

The proud Gryffindor wants to walk the world as an ordinary human being, so he puts down his wand and walks the world alone with his sword.

Of course, Gryffindor, who has rich travel experience, knows that human abilities have limits.

With swordsmanship alone, he will also have enemies he cannot defeat.

In order to better conceal his identity, Gryffindor commissioned Raignac, the king of goblins, to forge himself a sword that could be used to cast spells.

In order to prepare the best materials, Gryffindor beheaded the powerful black dragon Nidhogg alone, took its blood and heart, and asked the king of goblins to create the most powerful sword for him.

The Goblin King succeeded, forging a sword that he coveted (he lied that Gryffindor had stolen it from him and sent his servants to steal it back).

That sword is the Gryffindor sword, Gryffindor named it after his surname, and only those he agrees with are eligible to own this sword.

Gryffindor's life is also like this sword, showing his sharpness and invincibility. He is a veritable "king" of that era.

In the world of mortals, he is the most outstanding duelist, the hero in the eyes of the nobles, and the guest of the king.

In the world of wizards, he is also the strongest duelist, the "Dragon Slayer", and no one is his single enemy.

But even though he is so powerful, there are things he can't do
Perhaps it was fate, he met three like-minded friends during his travels - Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff.

They are all dissatisfied with the world, and they have the same ideal - to change this ignorant and cruel world.

They all want to make a difference, but it is so difficult to change the prejudices of the world, and they work hard for it, but they get little.

They did a lot, lobbying nobles, negotiating churches, evangelizing mortals, building schools
Yes, when Gryffindor was 25 years old, the four of them established Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they hoped that this school far away from the world would become a safe haven for wizards.

It's a pity that the four had great differences in selecting students. Salazar even had a big fight with them, and left the school alone a few years later.

Gryffindor also left the school shortly afterwards. His ideal was to change the world, not to be the principal of the school. He wanted to continue to fight for his ideal.
Gryffindors have struggled all their lives.

When he was young, he thought it could change the world, but he failed.In his middle age, he learned to compromise, so he lowered his requirements and tried to change the status of the wizard, but he still failed.

When he was old, he realized that his life's hard work was not as good as the school he established when he was young - Hogwarts.

Only Hogwarts, the wizarding school, proved that his efforts were not in vain.

The old Gryffindor received Hufflepuff's invitation and returned to Hogwarts. He looked at the energetic faces of the children in the school and smiled with relief.

Any great cause cannot be achieved overnight. Maybe he does not have the ability to change the world, but the fire has been planted. With Hogwarts, there will always be someone better than him in the future. Maybe at that time, his dream will be It can be realized.

Gryffindor agreed with Helga Hufflepuff's plan, and the four of them left a "treasure" at Hogwarts for future generations.

That was the last collaboration between the four after the school was founded. Even Salazar, who had been angry for many years, let go of the conflicts of the year and participated in this project.

They reached a consensus: only those who get the joint approval of the four can really get this "treasure".

Thus, the four of them started their respective layouts.

Gryffindor used advanced transfiguration to create an underground arena and a stone lion.

That lion inherited all of Gryffindor's memories, and likewise, all of Gryffindor's regrets.

Long, long ago, the old Gryffindor once stood in front of the stone lion. He touched the lion's head and murmured to himself: "I hope you can replace me for the scenery that I can't see with all my strength." See."

So the stone lion watched alone in the dark underground for a thousand years.
