The Best Minds of My Generation

A Founders story, casting Salazar, Rowena, Godric and Helga into the real events around the turn of the last millenium. Salazar plays a monk expelled from his monastery for his ability to speak Parseltongue, Godric is a wizard from the Danelaw, a dangerous person at a dangerous time, Helga is a witch captured in the north and sold into slavery far to the south, while Rowena is the wife of the powerful but Dark wizard who draws them all together. The founding of Hogwarts!

In this chapter, Salazar meets Godric Gryffindor, who says rude things and generally makes Salazar feel uncomfortable.

Salazar meets Hengist the Great and his wife, Rowena.

In this chapter, Godric discovers that Salazar's perception of magic is slightly skewed, and Salazar realises that his understanding of magic is very naive.

Godric doesn't handle an agry group of goblins very well, but Salazar salvages the situation. Meanwhile, Helga enters the story.
