[Harry Potter] Secrets

[Warning] The female lead has very serious character flaws. Very serious.

"I'm Rowena, and I've come for Slytherin."

Rita Skeeter: May I ask you, The Grey Lady, did you take your husband's surname, or did you give birth to the Grey Lady out of wedlock? Is Slytherin really as ugly as a shriveled old monkey? Is Hufflepuff completely useless and only good at cooking, existing merely as the three of your personal cook?

Rowena: ...Huh? No, no, that's not true! Should I be glad I died young, so my appearance still resembles what it was when I was alive?

Rowena ends up with whoever she came for (rekindled old romance).

Two equally brilliant young people with compatible personalities are bound to spark something.

Focused on education and falling in love, with occasional efforts to keep the original plot on track.

Warning: Rowena's personality changes several times! In short, the fragments have made her an erratic, controlling, overconfident, and volatile person.

By a twist of fate, one of the Hogwarts Founders is reborn in the modern Wizarding World. She sets out to correct the course of history, hoping to undo the stereotypes about the Houses that have taken root over a thousand years and restore them to the Founders' original vision. She is dedicated to making profound improvements to the school's education and teaching (not really).

Rowena: Why did I spend my first few years as a clingy, full-time babysitter?

→ Because she focused on looking after the children in the lower years, she couldn't devote herself to education.

How do we save the British wizarding community (and solve its population problem)? Ravenclaw says: Maybe we need a sociologist.

See how Hogwarts Castle has changed over nearly a thousand years, experience the Four Founders as living people and their everyday stories, and uncover the rumors that have grown more far-fetched over time.

Tips:

1. The story will follow the original as closely as possible, but I have my own interpretations of the characters.

2. I won't bash Gryffindor, Dumbledore, or Slytherin. The protagonist is trying to reform education.

3. I'll add some ideas of my own about the Wizarding World, while staying true to Rowling's basic setting.

4. No shipping the Golden Trio, Malfoy, the Dark Lord, the Marauders, or the female lead. She considers them all younger generations.

5. I'm not actually that friendly toward the Malfoy family. Malfoy fans who think they can do no wrong, please beware, beware, beware.

6. Updates whenever I can, at least 3,500 words per chapter. Salazar may not appear until the fourth year.

Possible triggers:

1. The female lead is not perfect. She has obvious character flaws and a shortsightedness shaped by her era. She has her own preferences and knows when she's wrong, but doesn't plan to change.

2. Characters who survive in the original may die early because of the protagonist.

3. The male lead isn't perfect either. He's a Dark wizard as described in historical records, and the female lead sees him through rose-colored glasses.

4. I won't deliberately invent events to bash original characters, but the protagonist's views are inevitably subjective. The female lead doesn't think like a Gryffindor or usually act alongside them, but that doesn't mean she supports everything Slytherin does. She also takes a careful view of Ravenclaw. Please keep this in mind.

Theme: Set things right and compose a love song to education!
