---------------
Many years before Hogwarts was created, there were two children born. The elder of the two was a girl, and thus never to claim the throne of England. Her younger brother was Arthur, future king of England and master of Excalibur. They were separated and hidden at birth to prevent the enemies of the crown from killing them.
--
Arthur met Merlin, who at the time was a powerful but young sorcerer. Merlin recognized the heir apparent and took him under his wings. Under Merlin's tutelage, Arthur learned much about magic and the various other things that a king should know. Arthur did not realize it at the time, but he was being groomed for kingship. Arthur and his sister met when they were both seventeen. At the time, they did not realize that they were half siblings. How could they? He'd been practically raised by Merlin.
--
Morgana's childhood was less pleasant. She was raised by minor members of the Fae. Morgana learned at the hands of masters how to be power-hungry, ruthless, and crafty. She was skilled in the art of deception. They were young at the time and fancied themselves in love. Before Morgana knew it, she was pregnant. While she was in her early stages, Merlin walked into the pictures. He knew almost immediately who she was. She was quite famous as a powerful sorcerous.
--
What very few knew is that she was the younger sister by two years to Arthur. Naturally they were horrified when they learned the truth. Morgana went into hiding and bore Arthur a son - Mordred. Merlin foresaw what was to come and warned Arthur that his firstborn son would one day murder him. Arthur brushed it off. He did not believe in prophecy.
--
Morgana gave Mordred to a fisherman and his wife to raise and returned to Arthur's side. Arthur, Morgana, and Merlin plotted to build a school that would be worthy of the magical students that would inhabit it. In those days, most magical students went their entire life never knowing they were of magical blood. Those that did, became apprentices to the very few masters available. Arthur wanted to change this.
--
Three years after they started, the Academy was finished. Merlin wished to start the Academy to teach young minds magic. He was the most powerful wizard of that time. Merlin invented quite a few spells. Morgana wished to start it to gather supporters for her plans. She was the best sorceress of her time. Morgana was extremely skilled with what later became known as the dark Arts. Arthur and Merlin have caught wind that something is up, but don't know who is behind it. So they too have started recruiting members to combat this mysterious adversary. Not knowing who your enemy is can be deadly. Particularly when you have unknowingly asked the enemy to join in your fight.
