I still can’t believe they allowed eleven years old students to have detention in the Forbidden Forest…

“Why did Snape think I’d got the map from the manufacturers?”
“Because…,” Lupin hesitated, “because these mapmakers would have wanted to lure you out of school. They’d think it extremely entertaining.”
“Do you know them?” said Harry, impressed.
“We’ve met,” he said shortly. He was looking at Harry more seriously than ever before.

a thousand years or more ago,
when i was newly sewn,
there lived four wizards of renown,
whose names are still well-known:
bold gryffindor from wild moor,
fair ravlenclaw from glen,
sweet hufflepuff from valley broad,
shrewd slytherin from fen.
they share a wish, a hope, a dream,
they hatched a daring plan,
to educate young sorcerers,
thus hogwarts school began.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies,
                                           but just as much to stand up to our friends.

hogwarts houses + elements

↳  “It is the tradition to have four houses, but in this case, I wanted them to correspond roughly to the four elements. So Gryffindor is fire, Ravenclaw is air, Hufflepuff is earth, and Slytherin is water; hence the fact that [Slytherin’s] common room is under the lake. So again, it was this idea of harmony and balance, that you had four necessary components and by integrating them you would make a very strong place.”  — J.K. Rowling

^{My transformations in those days were – were terrible. It is very painful to turn into a werewolf. I was separated from humans to bite, so I bit and scratched myself instead. The villagers heard the noise and the screaming and thought they were hearing particularly violent spirits.}

I once was blind but now I see. Have you left a seat for me? Is that such a stretch of the imagination?
