the lost castle

"Oh, thank you very much, Madam Pomfrey, yes, I feel better. I'm wide awake now."

The red-haired wizard was lying on a hospital bed in the Hogwarts Medical Wing, looking at that expression, it seemed that the soft pillow and quilt had already taken away all his mind, and he wished he could just sleep in and do nothing. .

"Dad, you just said that Ron, Ginny, and Mom are all fine, right?"

Charlie has already rushed forward to ask questions.

——Your father just said more than that!The professors all stared wide-eyed. If there was nothing wrong with their ears, there would be something like "Lord Gryffindor, Duke of Slytherin, Middle Ages", unless they collectively had hallucinations!

"Arthur, since you disappeared, we have been very worried, but you disappeared with the Hogwarts castle, and then the castle reappeared, but you disappeared..."

"Hogwarts? It left us and ran away!" Arthur jumped up from the bed and waved his fists, his expression was as vivid as if someone had destroyed his Muggle car, "for this reason we hide in the middle ages After more than ten years, it was hard to wait for Hogwarts to be established! But I didn’t expect that the mysterious man could not be found, do you understand?”

——We don't understand~~ Everyone was shaking their heads in a daze.

"We can't find the Dark Lord, so we can only stay in the Middle Ages. Hermione is very sad, but there is nothing I can do. Molly often dreams of you at night, Charlie, and wakes up crying in the middle of the night..."

"Oh, Dad, we're all fine!"

The Weasleys huddled together and staged a family drama.

The three professors all started to have blue veins on their foreheads. You said that there is nothing in this world that is more depressing than stopping the appetite in the middle of the sentence, let alone such a terrifying thing-the Middle Ages, the establishment of Hogwarts?Merlin!

"Arthur Weasley, can you turn that thing on your neck that can still be called a head, and give me a little more spit to make it clear! Make it clear!! Eh?"

Behold, Madam Pomfrey's Slytherin essence exploded.

The little lions shuddered, and began to think of many terrible potions, unpalatable colors, and turbulent memories, so their faces turned from white to blue, and they shrank into a ball. Only Fleur Delacour looked around nervously, as if he didn't understand why Everyone suddenly stopped talking.

"Well... we've been in the Middle Ages for 23 years, really, Merlin's beard, none of us believed it at first, but there are muggles everywhere trying to kill wizards, and bad houses and bad bread , it was so hard that it almost broke my teeth, I couldn't find a place to sleep, I couldn't even find a wizard - as soon as I revealed my identity, Merlin, you really can't imagine how crazy those Muggles are, and how much they can't do it to themselves. The oiled ones rushed towards us, shouting the name of their god, until even that kid Neville was so frightened that he could apparate silently for his life."

Arthur said excitedly, and brushed away Madam Pomfrey's attempt to test his body temperature:

"I'm sober, really, sober! I can tell you that the Capetian dynasty, which ended the rule of the Carolingian kings in the Kingdom of Western Farrak, was established in 987 AD. I saw it with my own eyes! Pope Gregory V I just crowned Otto III in Rome, the king of the East Francia, oh, maybe the Holy Roman Empire, and launched the Holy See's third crusade against wizards, and I'm not crazy, you see, food is the law of Gump 'One of the five major exceptions, the other exception is that we can't create something that doesn't exist. We have extended this definition to 'can't change something that doesn't exist in this era'. Otherwise, how could we be so embarrassed in the past 23 years ?”

"Dad, you are too emotional..." Charlie hurried up to help.

"Be quiet, Arthur, otherwise I don't mind giving you a drink of the water of life and death." Headmaster Hufflepuff was also impatient, "What you need to tell us is, what happened on the night of the decisive battle?!"

"The decisive battle, that day, that night?" Arthur Weasley seemed to be stuck.

"Yes, why did everyone, the Order of the Phoenix, the Death Eaters, and even Hogwarts disappear?" Professor Slughorn asked anxiously.

"I have no idea……"

Everyone fell down collectively, and when they stood up again, their eyes began to burn with raging anger.

"But I know what the key is!"

"kindness?"

"You-Know-Who cast a death curse on Harry."

The crowd waited for a long time without further words, and finally they couldn't help it.

"and then?"

"And then? No more!"

So Arthur was hit by the knife that was thrown over him, and he immediately shrank back, and said with a dry smile:

"That's the way it is. As long as the mysterious man casts the death curse on Harry in Hogwarts Castle, the time will go out of order. We experimented on the fourth day of the Middle Ages, and the castle threw it from a valley to a Next to the Great Mire. What's more frightening is that Hogwarts disappeared after leaving us in place after traveling through time again..."

——That's because Hogwarts has returned to modern times.Everyone nodded silently.

"Wait, Arthur, are you saying that the reason you stayed in the Middle Ages—I believe this for a while—for a full 23 years is because you waited for Hogwarts to be established? Merlin!!"

"That's cool, Dad, so you've all seen the Big Four?"

"Yes, Godric. What does Gryffindor look like?"

"Dad, tell us--wow!"

Madam Pomfrey slammed on Bill Charlie and Percy who appeared out of nowhere with a cold face.

"Oh, Madam Pomfrey, I came here as soon as I received Bill's call from the Patronus. I can't believe it. In the Middle Ages, I saw the establishment of Hogwarts with my own eyes, and there are four founders..." Percy His voice was trembling with excitement, and his usual calm and elite appearance had long since disappeared, "Merlin, this is really amazing."

"Humph!"

Arthur Weasley has always had a quarrel with this son. Although he has been missing his family for the past twenty years and has long forgiven Percy's rebellious family behavior, it does not mean that he will let go. Face as a father:

"Amazing? Believe me, it's not funny! If you can only hope to wait for Hogwarts to be established, and then it happens to be 973 AD, know what it means?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"You will find that the great Gryffindor is only 15 years old, and the sinister and terrible dark wizard Slytherin is only 15 years old, and Merlin is 15 years old! They are younger than Ginny, and Harry was still [-] years old when he was in the fourth grade. Fight a dragon!"

"..."

"Later we got separated. We don't know where Harry is, where Professor Trelawney has gone, and George...even the Death Eaters and the You-Know-Who, 1000 years ago, Merlin, we all No - oh, don't worry, George and Harry are well now, and, to a big surprise, Fred is safe."

"Dad... Fred, what's the matter?"

"On the night of the decisive battle, he encountered an accident... Forget it, it's already a thing of the past, let's not talk about it! I woke up this morning, opened the door, and suddenly found that the ground and walls of the castle had become old, and then... …We've been searching for ten years and haven't found You-Know-Who, even the Death Eaters, but we haven't, heck! So—"

"You don't know how you got back?"

"Yes, Molly, Harry...they are all still in the Middle Ages! No, I want to go back!"

"Arthur, calm down, you don't even know how you came back, and according to the time travel conditions you said, there is neither a savior nor a mysterious person in Hogwarts now! Even if you want to go to the Middle Ages, it is impossible !!" Madam Pomfrey continued to ask patiently, "Then Arthur, what other things do you recall, such as when Hogwarts was established?"

"That's too much."

"The most terrifying!"

"Well, overnight, all the Knights of the Holy See in the seven towns near Hogwarts were killed, as well as many wizards and nobles at that time, it is said that they were Slytherins..."

"Okay, what impressed you the most?"

"The four giants collect gold Galleons and concentrate them on the magic circle at the bottom of Hogwarts. Merlin, I dare say that even the sum of all the gold coins in Gringotts now is not so much. I never thought I would see it in this life." So many Galleons piled up together, it's really spectacular..."

"Stop! So, the most outrageous?"

"Uh?"

Arthur Weasley's face contorted suddenly.

"Dad?" Bill worriedly watched Arthur's arm twitch continuously, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

"Arthur, what's the matter with you?"

"...No, I'm fine. It's just that it's difficult to say this, uh, it's difficult..." Arthur Weasley's eyes were straight, trembling suspiciously, he shook his head vigorously, and took a deep breath, as if warning himself accept the truth:

"that--"

Which one?Why did the lion become so secretive after a trip to the Middle Ages?

"We... help Gryffindor and go after Slytherin!"

Finally speaking, Arthur felt as if his whole body had softened. He waited for the deafening screams and questioning voices, but there was nothing strange. When he looked up, he found that everyone was using a Bewildered, the impatient expression waiting for the next one looked at him.

"Back, Arthur?"

Still behind, this alone is already a bolt from the blue, okay?Is it still necessary to reveal that the incident lasted for seven or eight years, and the last two founders did not come out in a room for three days?Merlin, this is impossible, his children are very fragile.

"No, Dad, I don't understand what you said about Slytherin and Gryffindor."

"..."

"Is there something in Slytherin's hands? So the Order of the Phoenix is ​​going to 'get' it back for Gryffindor?"

Well, Arthur has come to his senses, so it's okay to change the rhetorical method.

"Godric Gryffindor fell in love with Slytherin and asked us to help him woo Duke Salazar Slytherin."

"Boom!" Someone's magic rioted.

"Boom!!" Someone bumped his head into the cabinet.

"Yes, what I said is true, including Ron helping Gryffindor make up love poems - Merlin, that's at Lockhart's level - Harry helping Gryffindor climb Slytherin's window, You need to use Parseltongue to open the passage, oh! And collect gifts, Hermione helps brew the potion..." Arthur Weasley began to explain in self-defeating, while the people in the medical wing had been completely petrified.

Of course, no one noticed that there was a pink beetle trembling with horror lying behind a pot of flowers on the windowsill.
