the lost castle

Neville looked down at his ripped collar, wondering if he should keep this dress and never wash it from now on, and mark it with the sign "Picked up by Gryffindor himself"?

only--

He sneaked towards the open-air platform where everyone dodged intentionally or unintentionally. He had just finished his polite greeting and turned to a topic that the four of them were very interested in. It was obviously Wang Wang, the founder of Hogwarts whom he had just met. go.

This is Gryffindor, that's Slytherin, that's Ravenclaw, that's Hufflepuff...

Even if he failed the History of Magic exam, he would know that Hogwarts Castle does not exist 1000% now!The four founders have just met, can he rush to ask for help?Hogwarts brought them back [-] years ago, they couldn't kill the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord wanted to destroy everything?Forget it, before that, he might be thrown out by a death curse from Slytherin.

The Duke of Slytherin, who had no idea that he was completely demonized by the rumors of later generations, was listening to Rowena's rambunctious comments on the pronunciation of a piece of rune. Finally, there was such a gentle smile on his cold expression, and he quietly looked at the fierce Gryffindor, who was arguing with Rowena, just this expression made his handsome appearance look more graceful and noble, and groups of noble women around him blushed and whispered something, But for a moment, they all stopped looking at this young duke with a prominent and ancient bloodline in their pale and slightly twitching expressions.

"Unless you want to be the second Duchess of Slytherin to die."

"What madam, haven't you heard how terrible the duke's mother is? For the sake of wealth and power, there are many noble ladies who murdered their husbands, but those who kill their husbands with a curse and leave their own sons alone, don't Speaking of England, even Byzantium and Rome have no such terrible witches."

"That's just a rumor, there's no evidence."

"Don't be stupid, for wizards, for curses, there is no evidence."

"...I, I can't see it. Isn't it the lady sitting there talking to several Danish royal ladies? She looks beautiful and noble, how could it be, how could it be as scary as you said? "

The people here almost heard the conversation of the girls in a circle, Robert touched his chin, while Neville looked in that direction with a completely stiff posture.

He was not surprised by the content of these discussions, really not, although the woman in the distance, dressed in splendid attire, was as noble and beautiful as pure white pearls in her curly black long hair, with a brooch inlaid with turquoise bent into several The elegant style of Greek letters is pinned on the chest of the long dress decorated with lace and black pearls. His hands are folded, and on his right wrist is a very gorgeous multi-layered sapphire silver bracelet. Come on, that is also a powerful magical instrument. Muggle jewelry can never do such a complicated and gorgeous appearance.Her eyes are sharp and cold, and the smile on the corners of her slightly pursed lips will not have the slightest warmth. Her expression without arrogance and indifference already makes people feel inaccessible, and from her appearance, she is very clearly recognizable Highlight her resemblance to Salazar Slytherin.

However, it can be clearly seen that none of the men who are content with pleasure and greed dared to look at her more, and even carefully avoided contact with her eyes. The tendency to delay time by paying a compliment to the normal decency and custom maintained in the presence of a beautiful and dignified lady.

"She is a lunatic. I heard that she even wants to kill her own son."

"God, this is terrible." A Muggle royal princess looked like she was about to faint.

"Oh, I have to say that the duke who has her blood is not normal either. His wife...Merlin knows how kind and beautiful the Marquis Aveling is, and she has always been in good health. But it was only a year , died inexplicably after only one year of marriage, I heard that she turned into a ghost and hid in this castle crying! Who would not be tormented to death by her if she robbed her husband?"

"Oh, God, that's not good for you wizards, the dead don't rest!"

"In short, there is no worse marriage partner."

The little silly lion of the Longbottom family maintained a petrified expression and twitched and twitched, his mind buzzing.

He couldn't accept the founder of the academy who seemed to be the same age as himself, and it was said that this grand event was held for the 15th birthday of the owner of the castle-the most terrifying dark wizard in wizard history is now smaller than himself The fact that he was two or three years old had just hit him hard, and Neville was again stunned by the fact that the 15-year-old Duke of Slytherin had been married for more than a year.As for ghosts, death, murder, etc., forgive his poor brain capacity for not being able to accept such a large amount of terrible information.

Reluctantly, he still had to continue standing here, dragged aside by that unidentified guy Robert and continued to accept the bombardment that destroyed his cognitive beliefs.

"Do you think she looks familiar?"

When Robert couldn't help but cast his eyes on Rowena, who was confident and proud because she started talking about alchemy, the bishop in black smiled and spoke at the right time. Bishop Galbert was not conspicuous on such an occasion, and of course Because what he wears is not the red robe representing the cardinal, but black, which has many meanings in the Holy See.The same goes for the idle bishop, and the bishop with the status of a secret power. Gelbert is definitely a kind and stable elder of the Holy See on the outside.He didn't think that Robert paid attention to Rowena frequently because of admiration.

"That's exactly what I thought, and at first glance I thought she looked very much like the Princess of Lorraine."

"She is indeed a branch of the Carolingian kings. Unlike your entire Robert family, which is a wizard, there will only be a wizard every one or two generations in that family, and it must be powerful and talented. It's just that this one, Too decisive and assertive to allow anyone to tell her what to do, she even dismissed the marriages arranged for her by the family many times, and finally left home altogether, even abandoning her surname. Now her surname is Ravenclaw, Rowena Ravenclaw."

"Hehe, now the whole of Europe and I dare say that the nobles in the future are trying their best to bring their blood closer to the kings of Carolinga. There is such a thing as abandoning family and surname?"

"So what, the glory of the Carolingian kings has gone to the grave. If the Holy See does not make changes, it will follow in the footsteps of the Carolingian kings. You know that the guys from the Roman and Saxon dynasties are crazy Shout out, look at what they have done west of the Rhine? It is not wrong to eradicate heresies and destroy beliefs other than my Lord, but they burned more than a dozen villages, not only burned liars and tramps, but also killed countless muggles Wizards, especially those children who don’t know what a wizard is, they just discovered happily today that they can float the cut wood and take it home. My terrified parents strangled to death first to prove that the devil has nothing to do with me. Robert, if this continues, not only Lord Gryffindor, but all the Templars will no longer be willing to return to Rome."

"They have already left. The Gryffindor family is the glory of the Templars. Their will represents all choices. The guardianship that lasted for more than 200 years has been lost. Your Excellency Bishop Galbert, how many wizards are there in the Holy See? Have you been?" Robert laughed in a low voice, his expression was full of coldness:

"But it's useless. They have been blinded by power. The greater the power of the Holy See, the more greedy they will be. No matter how many people die, Muggle-born wizards are dirty and despicable in their eyes. , whether in the eyes of Muggles or wizards, is above all else."

The bishop in black was silent for a long time, and finally let out a sigh:

"Yes, not all wizards are as sympathetic to the living as the Hufflepuff family and love peace..."

"That's just the ancestor of the Hufflepuff family. Now only the full understanding and control of magical creatures and plants is left. Who would want to be with an old man who has no power in the Muggle world and has not much wealth? Is there a conflict of interest in the family?" Robert looked at Helga, who was smiling and persuading the arguing friends, and there was a touch of sarcasm in his expression:

"Maybe, she just needs a peaceful life and quietness, not kindness. No matter who you are, you are only weak if you don't have power, and kindness happens to be the right of the strong."

"Ah, those young men with talent always come together."

The bishop looked at the four who were getting closer and talked eagerly.

In fact, at this time, how many people take this scene seriously? Even the bishop and Earl Robert are only talking about their respective illustrious lineages, and mentioning the weird and disturbing world today.No one really cared about the four young people they met at a banquet, because in this day and age, women can't do big things, and Gryffindor was just a prominent banner of wizards in the Holy See , What is a knight who has left Rome?And Slytherin, presumably people here are more reluctant to talk about him than his mother, because at least at this time no one believes that an heir who lives under the absolute control of his mother can do anything.

"That's enough, Helga, let me say it!" Rowena said angrily to her friend who had only written letters before and only met on the way here, pinching the fan with her fingers:

"They finally found a 22-year-old guy with a pockmarked face, not as tall as the idiot (referring to Neville) just now but fatter than him, and even said that he was the most suitable marriage partner for my identity and bloodline !"

"wizard?"

"No, Muggles!"

"Well, this is really bad."

As a wizard, Godric Gryffindor likes all people who are out of tune with the world. As a knight, he also likes beautiful ladies and wives. Of course, he prefers these people who are so talented that he can argue against him. The seemingly proud Lavin Crowe also has this problem. He doesn't care about admiration for men and women, but only likes to associate with people who understand what he is talking about. Naturally, these topics are no more important than how to modify the effect of alchemy for magic jewelry and the safety of poisonous potions. It is easier to use.The only difference is that Gryffindor will try his best to turn each other into friends, while Ravenclaw will not easily admit defeat.

"He doesn't look as attractive as a musty, moth-eaten ancient parchment."

"Uh, Rowena, is that the guy you mean?"

"Huh? Ah, yes, how do you know?"

"He stared at me with fiery eyes, and at you with straight eyes!"

Godric shrugged his shoulders and smiled brighter than the setting sun that was about to set outside. The earnest conversation this afternoon made him even more reluctant to leave. Anyway, he should save it until after the banquet is completely over tomorrow to discuss with the three new acquaintances. Time for friends to meet up again.

"Merlin, I curse him to go out and fall into the mud and get his leg chewed off by the swamp diggers!" Rowena closed the fan heavily in her hand.

"It's almost time for the dinner, isn't it?" Helga kindly reminded Salazar who had been with them all afternoon. Of course, what kept her vigilant was to remind her that she had felt the rumored terrifying Le Mrs. Tor, the mother of the Duke of Slytherin looked at this side countless times with sharp, emotionless eyes. To be honest, it was really hard for her to have a good impression of such a witch.

"Probably." Rowena didn't realize that at all, but simply wanted to return to the original topic, so as to shake off the unhappiness when talking about her former marriage partner just now, "Blood and power, in wizards, or in What is the meaning in the eyes of all people? And there are some things that we can’t be called ignorant when we don’t understand them, maybe that’s what poor Muggles believe in most. So, when we enter the world of Muggles, don’t take those things as Stupid, otherwise it's us... Duke?"

Salazar Slytherin slowly opened his lake green eyes after closing them suddenly, with the same expression as before:

"Sorry, I have to accompany you."

As they spoke, they bowed slightly, and the other three seemed to realize that the dinner party was about to start, so they didn't say much. After saluting each other, the well-dressed maids came in and served the food on the silver plate continuously. As for those house elves, they seem to not really exist in real aristocratic families, and the only ones who can get close to noble masters and guests are girls with pure blood.The banquet lasted for three days and it was only the second night. The three of them watched Slytherin leave without any doubt and continued the conversation. No one noticed that Salazar was leaving quickly. It seemed that before the banquet, he needed to change his dress again. When exiting the hall, he chose a roundabout route that didn't pass by Neville's side, but he could clearly see this unlucky guy huddled in a corner and walked out the side door of the hall.

When countless noises fell behind him, the black-haired and green-eyed boy showed a look of astonishment and coldness in his eyes, blurted out a few syllables from his teeth, and quickly disappeared into the corridor of the castle.

"Neville Longbottom?"

The author has something to say:

5 is to exhaust the brain cells to compile the life experience of the four giants~~Anyway, the goal is to let them have no descendants who directly inherit the surname, so the Godric family only passed on that he would die if he didn’t get married. The knights are not a huge noble family~~~Sa Sarah gave birth to a daughter.My father, mother, and relatives are all dead. Well, Rowena ran away from home, so there are relatives, but the surnames are randomly picked. After giving birth to a daughter, she died before her, and there is no inheritance. The Helga family has declined. , you can't let her old uncle die and have another son, right? As for the reason why the birth must be prominent, I firmly believe that people without status in that era couldn't be successful in their teens. Life and education alone are the problem Well, the school is still waiting to be built

__________ The following is a historical supplement, it doesn’t matter if you don’t read the dividing line____________

The Carolingian dynasty, to be precise, is the blood of the Carolingian royal family. It was a very noble blood of the nobles at that time and later generations. Before 900 years, the Carolingian kings ruled West Frank, East Frank and Italy, Lorraine, Provence, well, almost half of Western Europe belongs to his family.

I said that in the HP fanfiction, many people firmly believe that Ravenclaw is the princess, or that she is the most prominent among the four. I said that the senior adults who wrote the fanfiction didn’t find her a decent bloodline? ? (The truth is because I didn’t have to learn from the Night Breeze that I made up in pain for a long time~~~)
