Now It's Your Turn - A Founder's First Worksheet
By Harry Potter (Yes, still me.)
Alright—you've read the guide, you've seen the spells, the stones, the dreams, the disasters. You've probably imagined your own school more than once by now (don't lie—I saw that gleam in your eyes back in Chapter 6).
So, I'm stepping out of the pages for a moment to say: It's your turn.
You're not just reading a book anymore. You're shaping a future. You're a founder now.
And to help you get started, I've left a little something here: your very own Founder's Worksheet. Grab a quill—or a talking pencil if you've got one—and let's begin.
