Hogwarts founder returns to campus

After having a final discussion with Newt and sending him home safely, Dumbledore appeared in the headmaster's office with a smile on his face.

At this moment, Snape and McGonagall were already in the principal's room.McGonagall was preparing a lesson with an "Advanced Transfiguration Guide", while Snape was pacing back and forth with an anxious look.

Fox consciously flew to the bird stand, humming softly in his nostrils to ease the atmosphere, and the fire in the fireplace seemed to be jumping with joy.

Snape saw the six still-clear silk marks on Dumbledore's hand, took a deep breath, and tried to restrain the anger that was almost overflowing his cheeks: "You signed an unbreakable oath with that person? There should be an unbreakable oath here." Reasonable explanation."

Mag didn't interrupt, but silently put away the "Advanced Transfiguration Guide", and sat quietly waiting for the next article.

Dumbledore had already imagined that Snape would react like this. With a flick of his finger, a chair appeared out of nowhere behind Snape: "Sit down."

Snape didn't sit down, but just pulled back his robes, as if he was in an icehouse full of crises and unknowns, instead of the warm and safe principal's office.

"I signed six oaths with Salazar to ensure that he can continue to live in Hogwarts safely."

"Six oaths? Do you think six oaths can restrain him? I still think he should be killed directly..."

"Actually..." Dumbledore interrupted Snape, "Severus, I made three vows with him, don't you want to hear it?"

Snape didn't answer, and even turned his body towards the fireplace, leaving only his left ear towards Dumbledore.

"I asked Salazar to ensure the stability of Hogwarts, and at the same time not endanger the wizarding world and the Muggle world."

Hearing this, Snape turned his body around again: "He is willing to promise you this? Then what did he ask you to do?"

"He wants all the information on Hogwarts."

"It's that simple?" Snape couldn't believe it.

Almost all the knowledge of Hogwarts can be found in the library. In Snape's opinion, any teacher can complete this oath, because only the teacher's permission and signature are required.

"Second oath, I can't stop him from looking for wizard assistants."

"This is a little more plausible!"

"The third vow, let me grant Cassandra's three wishes."

"Cassandra? The one from the Scamander family?" Of course Snape had an impression of Cassandra. After all, Newt was also present just now. If there is no accident, Newt should be the witness of the unbreakable oath. By.

"He asked you to fulfill the three wishes of a freshman? What wishes did that freshman mention?"

"Let me open the selection restrictions for Quidditch, and allow first-year freshmen to also participate in the selection." Dumbledore turned his attention to McGonagall. After all, McGonagall actually made an exception last month to select Harry Potter. Seeker for the Gryffindor team.

"The second wish is that I can't fire her, and the third wish is that she hopes that a tabloid she founded can become a library publication." Dumbledore continued with a smile.

"So what's the relationship between Salazar and that freshman? Why did he give the oath to that freshman so easily?" Snape showed doubts on his face.

After all, Salazar's conditions are too simple, and it can even be said that they are completely inconsistent with Dumbledore's conditions.

The three conditions Salazar put forward by Dumbledore may take a lifetime to fulfill, and it takes little effort for Salazar to fulfill those so-called conditions.

"As an elder, it's reasonable to satisfy the little witch's simple wish?" Dumbledore repeated in the same teasing tone.

The principal's office suddenly fell into a kind of embarrassment.

"Ahem..." Mag stood up, "Actually, what I'm most curious about is how did you find out that Salazar is Slytherin himself?"

"Good question." Dumbledore praised, walked to the cupboard by the door, and brought the stone basin embedded in the cupboard to the desk.

This is the Pensieve, an exquisite stone basin with runes and other mystical symbols carved into its rim, and filled with a silvery, smoky substance.

After McGonagall and Snape gathered around the table, Dumbledore pressed his wand to his temple, pulled out a silver thread similar to the substance in the basin, and shook it into the basin.

The silk thread slowly spun in the basin, and gave off a faint gleam, reflecting on the faces of the three people.

"The relevant memories are all in there." Dumbledore said, pointing to the Pensieve.

Snape and McGonagall leaned forward at the same time, and touched the silver substance at the same time.

The three of them stood on a country road almost at the same time. This is where Dumbledore first came into contact with Salazar, and it was also the beginning of everything.

"Me and Newt." Dumbledore said, pointing to the two figures in front of him.

They reviewed the silent incident two years ago, and followed the two people in their memory to Tonks's house where Salazar was now boarding.

They then went to the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control to obtain information. The scene passed quickly, and finally the three of them appeared on top of the ruins.

This is a suburb, so after the silent incident, this place was abandoned directly. Muggles did not dare to approach it because of the legend of ghosts, and the Ministry of Magic did not want to come again because it was too troublesome.

Because of this, all traces of the magic here were preserved. Dumbledore and Newt cast the Trace Curse at the same time, and countless gold dust flew up, recreating the tragedy that happened in this ruins that year.

They watched a helpless boy being bullied by his peers, and finally ignited the magic power to become silent, and finally killed all the people here, and completely destroyed this place.

"Is it Slytherin?" McGonagall's tone trembled, her body tensed.

"Newt and I finally came to a negative conclusion. This is a poor little wizard who cannot correctly recognize his own magic power, and eventually becomes a puppet of the dark power, and becomes an obscurity." Dumbledore sighed. .

"Is that the locket?" Snape asked.

"I can only say that I don't know...I returned the locket to him before school started. After studying for so long, the only thing I'm sure of is that the locket is not a black magic item. Severus, I think you should understand me I mean," Dumbledore replied.

Snape nodded, and opened his mouth with difficulty: "I don't understand, that locket is not a black magic item, what is it? Slytherin's soul should be attached to it, he was activated by the silent dark power , and then forcibly occupied the boy's body, right?"

"No!" Dumbledore shook his head, "Newt's and I's guesses are consistent with yours in the first half, but Newt felt that the boy's soul had been completely swallowed up after destroying everything, so he forcibly Occupy is not the right word."
