   Summary

   "Merlin leaned back in his chair, watching the future founders of what would one day be the greatest magical school in the world, argue about staircases."

   -----

   A series of loosely connected one-shots following Merlin during the chaotic early days of Hogwarts, back when the castle was still being built, the founders were in their twenties, and absolutely none of them were responsible enough to be running a school.

   Includes: magical accidents, chaotic founder friendships, questionable castle design choices, and Merlin wondering (daily) how exactly he ended up babysitting four extremely powerful witches and wizards.

   Part of the Merlin at Hogwarts series.
