Context: So there was this conversation on tumblr that i found (i think it was tumblr, i just saw the screenshot- but anyways.)

*still context* So they were talking about how rowena designed the moving staircases at Hogwarts (confirmed from not sure where) and they theorized that it was the reason salazar and helga made their dorms so far away (on the dungeons/kitchen) as it deeply inconvenienced the students. Godric and rowena however, took in the challenge.

Here’s where their theory got interesting. So as salazar and helga were against the idea, they were the ones who made the secret passageways through the school, and that’s when and how salazar made the chamber of secrets! He tricked helga into it somehow, or used their time scheming as an excuse.

I just thought it was something interesting to talk about and i wanted to know what you lot thought about it.

Something else they mentioned was how brilliant rowena’s idea was in case of an attack like the battle of hogwarts as the attackers would have a huge disadvantage compared to the students who’ve been living there.
