Enjoy!Summary: Every founder of Hogwarts left the future students something cool for them to enjoy when the time came. Not Godric Gryphindor. Why? Well, the answer to that question is simple. He did. I think Godric left the school a Phoenix. But not just any Phoenix... Fawkes himself. I think this for several reasons and here they are. For starters, let's look at wand cores. It is a well known fact that Harry and Voldemort have the same wand core. From the same bird. Did you know that Godric also had a Phoenix feather core too? Godric and Salazar Slytherin were really good friends and only parted ways when Salazar wanted to teach the pure-bloods and no one else. If Godric had a Phoenix, given that they are very sensitive and emotional creatures, and Godric was feeling sad and hurt that his friend Slytherin left him, might Fawkes absorb some of those feelings? And if some of his feathers were plucked and made into a wand that would be sold to Voldemort and Harry decades later, might that be why Harry and Voldemort can't fight? Because two friends went through the same thing, so another pair using the same wand core made of the very same "sponge" which retained pain and hurt, were prevented from being the things they tried so hard to be.Gmail: [email protected]: @thepotterdiscussionWebsite:https://www.thepotterdiscussion.buzzsprout.comHaving anything you want to hear or say?
