[HP/GS] How Life Experiences Shaped the Four Founders' Personalities

Can you imagine six-year-old Salazar Slytherin being a naturally airheaded child, teased every day by eight-year-old Godric Gryffindor?, Can you imagine just how cold and ruthless fifteen-year-old Godric Gryffindor was, using Salazar Slytherin's help to kill his own brother with his own hands?, Can you imagine sixteen-year-old Rowena Ravenclaw as a chuunibyou heir to her family?, Can you imagine just how cold and indifferent eighteen-year-old Helga Hufflepuff was as a witch? The many events of life, great and small, shape a person's character and influence their choices. The story of those years, of the lily blooming and the time before it, and of the four people who nurtured it, unknown to later generations of the wizarding world. Also known as The Importance of Childhood Betrothals [kidding]. CP: Godric Gryffindor/Salazar Slytherin. I'm almost obsessively fond of powerful couples. Definitely a happy ending. For what happens after the founding of the school, see my other Harry Potter fanfics featuring the Four Founders. This story has a mountain of Harry Potter headcanons, and is full of nonsense, more nonsense, and even more nonsense, but I'm also trying to research the historical background. As promised, a new story set a thousand years ago, about the characters' changes and growth. Please bookmark and comment~ I have so many unfinished stories that even I'm scared, lol. Mine: [HP|DH/GS] Start Over. Set a thousand years after the Four Founders, about the big problem of Hogwarts' heirs and the little problem of Voldemort, with various British and American movie and TV fandoms making surprise appearances.
