Connor's Hogwarts

Godric Gryffindor comes from a wizarding family. He has shown amazing talent since he was a child and is a true genius.

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

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

Gryffindor also believes this. He has always been like this, confident, proud, and fearless.

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

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

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

Gryffindor didn't quite understand it at first, but he didn't care. He didn't need magic to walk in the world. He could solve all dangers with his sword skills. Since his parents had a destiny, he wouldn't violate it. He also believed in him. You can find the reason yourself.

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

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

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

But, as it turns out, his parents were right.

One day, a powerful monster attacked a village. Gryffindor happened to pass by, took out his sword, and fought with it for three hundred rounds, but was defeated.

So he took out his wand and killed the monster easily.

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

He was evicted by the villagers.

Gryffindor didn't take it seriously at first. You can't expect everyone to like him. He left the village cooperatively and continued his journey.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation. He was hunted.

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

Gryffindor even saw arrest warrants for him in many places. The warrants read - "Evil Red-haired Wizard", without a name, so Gryffindor knew that it was the people from that village who gave him Reported.

Gryffindor was a little angry and helpless, and also confused. What gave these mortals the confidence to hunt down a wizard?

It wasn't until he met the church pastor that he understood.

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

Gryffindor was shocked, damn, your priest is also a wizard, you actually want to arrest me? Is there any more royal method? !

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

In order to escape 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 high strength, he didn't pay much attention to the church's pursuit. At first, he even thought it was quite fun to have someone chasing him.

But Gryffindor slipped away, confused.

Because wherever he goes, intentionally or unintentionally, he comes into contact with a lot of news about wizards, and what he sees along the way constantly washes away his outlook.

There was a terrible dragon who was in danger and killed many people, but he killed him with his own hands.

There was an evil wizard who created a terrible plague to kill mortals, but he killed him with his own hands.

There was a rich and unkind mortal lord who colluded with the wizard to eat human flesh and blood, and was beheaded by him with his own hands.

A church priest used magic to hypnotize a village to defraud money and sex in the name of God. He was killed by him himself.

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

I have seen werewolves who couldn't control themselves, transformed on full moon nights, and were massacred by church priests.

I have seen an Obscurial child who destroyed an entire village because he couldn't control himself, and was finally shot to death by random arrows from the church's knights.

He also heard that many children who had just awakened their magical powers 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.

The enthusiastic and cheerful young man has a shadow on his heart.

Mortals, wizards, demons, and the self-deceiving church are all fighting with each other, no matter the reason, to the death.

Gryffindor doesn't understand why humans always hurt each other?

The eighteen-year-old Gryffindor returned to his hometown. He asked his parents this question, but his parents had no way to give an answer.

So he decided to embark on a journey alone again and travel around the countries. He wanted to find an answer himself and a way to stop people's meaningless fighting.

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

The proud Gryffindor wanted to walk the world as an ordinary human being. He put down his wand and traveled the world alone with his sword.

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

He will also have enemies that he cannot defeat with just his sword skills.

In order to better conceal his identity, Gryffindor commissioned the goblin king Legnarc to forge a sword for himself that can be used to cast spells.

In order to prepare the best materials, Gryffindor killed the powerful black dragon Nidhogg alone, took its blood and heart, and asked the King of Goblins to build the most powerful sword for him.

The Goblin King succeeded and forged a sword that he coveted (he lied that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him and sent a servant to steal it back).

That sword is the Sword of Gryffindor. Gryffindor named it after his surname. Only people he agrees with are eligible to own this sword.

Gryffindor's life was like this sword, sharp and invincible. He was a veritable "king" of that era.

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

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

But even though he is so powerful, there are things he can't do

Perhaps due to 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 changes, but it is so difficult to change the prejudices of the world. They work hard, but gain little.

They did a lot, lobbying the nobility, negotiating with the church, preaching to mortals, building schools

Yes, when Gryffindor was twenty-five years old, the four of them founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They hoped that this remote school would become a haven for wizards.

Unfortunately, the four had big differences in selecting students. Salazar even had a big quarrel with them and left the school alone a few years later.

Gryffindor also left the school soon after. His ideal was to change the world, not to be the principal of the school. He wanted to continue to fight for his ideals.

Gryffindors struggle all their lives.

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

When he was old, he realized that all his life's efforts were not as good as the school he built when he was young - Hogwarts.

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

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

No great achievement can be achieved overnight. Maybe he does not have the ability to change the world, but the fire has been laid. With Hogwarts here, there will always be people better than him in the future. Maybe at that time, his dream will be It can be realized.

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

That was the last collaboration between the four of them after the school was founded. Even Salazar, who had been angry for many years, put aside his conflicts and participated in the project.

They reached a consensus: only the person recognized by the four people can truly get this "treasure".

So, the four of them started their own plans.

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

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

A long time ago, the old Gryffindor once stood in front of the stone lion. He touched the lion's head and murmured to himself: "I have tried my best to see the scenery, I hope you can do it for me." See."

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

In fact, this chapter should be placed after Chapter 78. It feels a bit wrong to put it at the end of the volume. (ω｀)
