St. Jerome's Graveyard

St Jerome's graveyard was located in Godric's Hollow, next to St Jerome's Church. It was the home of the graves of many former residents of the village, both Muggles and wizardkind, including members of such prominent families as the Peverells, the Potters, and the Dumbledores.
==History==
===Early history===
It is unknown, with certainty, when the graveyard was founded, however, it appears that it was already in existence by 1291, as Ignotus Peverell, who died in that year, is buried in there. However, the grave of Bowman Wright, who died in 1560, is one of the oldest graves in the graveyard. Many people, both wizards and Muggles, would be buried in the graveyard over the centuries, including people such as Kendra and Ariana Dumbledore, a member of the Abbott family, and James and Lily Potter.
===1986===
On the eve of Hallowe'en in 1986, Merula Snyde tried to steal the Sword of Gryffindor. She tried to open the crypt marked with the crest of Gryffindor, thereby provoking the wrath of the ghost of the goblin king Ragnuk who lived in it. Ragnuk cursed her for seeking his creation. Merula ended up losing her sight. Jacob's sibling quickly took her to Bathilda Bagshot to see if she could help. They learned that goblins used a special kind of wandless magic, and the only one who could reverse the curse was Ragnuk. The only option was to convince him to lift the curse. Jacob's sibling and Merula found that Ragnuk most likely sought revenge because the sword was not returned to him. Back in the crypt, Jacob's sibling was able to convince Ragnuk that by letting the others use his sword, his legacy would live on. Ragnuk realised that he was blinded by revenge to see what truly mattered. He agreed to lift the curse from Merula and everyone who came before her. Shortly after, Ragnuk returned to his crypt.
===1997===
On 24 December, 1997, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger visited Godric's Hollow as part of their search for Horcruxes. On their way to try and locate Bathilda Bagshot, they passed this graveyard and decided to take a detour to visit the grave of Harry's parents. During their search for it, they discovered other graves, including Ignotus Peverell's, which showed them another use of a symbol.
