One Wizard's History: The Hidden History of Hogwarts, Part 1: "Keep it steady/ you were never ready/ for the lies."

I started this story to challenge the information presented in Hogwarts: A History, the traditional history textbook mentioned in Harry Potter. What if, I thought, the facts presented in Bathilda Bagshot’s were part of a mass cover-up of earlier truths presented, even  in previous, now banned, books on the founders of the wizarding school? For instance, the founders were from Middle-Earth. Godric’s Hollow was just an ordinary town cohabited by Muggles and wizards. The debate over blood status being an entry qualification started earlier than suspected or recorded.
