A/N:For suqarquill's Saturday special about Gods. I am no expert in this point in history but I did some research for this and apparently when Rowena was alive was well before it was common to burn those accused of witchcraft and that the church had a policy that it didn't exist. Often it was the person who accused the other who was punished as far as I could find out. Rowena is thought to have been Scottish so I'm writing her as if she is from the northern part of Scotland in the idea that it would be a reason as to why Hogwarts was later built there. Also, it is true that not all of Scotland spoke the same language at this time. This is my take on what would push one of the founders to go looking for other magic users.
Summery:Rowena had always known that she was different, magical. In 8th century Scotland, that is a dangerous thing to be and she keeps it a secret, untrained and unable to fully control her gifts. She is forced to control her situation when another in the village is accused of witchcraft and it pushes her to leave her northern home and go in search of others like her.
