Here, Harry has returned to Petunia's house, and started his life as a "house elf" again, either in the kitchen using the water magic he just learned to clean the floor and wash clothes, or staying in the courtyard with large scissors Mowing the grass, Aunt Petunia or Uncle Vernon would stand aside from time to time and sneer, saying that they are so kind to him, let him "stay in bed" for so long, they should do more work to repay them, or they won't be given food Hahahaha, Harry could only lower his head with tears in his eyes, whether he raised his eyes and squeezed at Dudley who was watching the joke.

Occasionally, Dudley would buckle his peaked cap upside down in a pompous manner, and take Harry, who was wearing his own fat old clothes, to wander in the nearby park like a bully, and then invite his friends to taunt Harry. Sometimes he accidentally went too far. After beating Harry, Dudley twitched and glared at Harry with his small eyes, as if to say: "You can't talk about it, look! Acting is really annoying!" Harry pouted innocently and shrugged, and then secretly used Using ancient sword techniques, one person fought several people, and Dudley was jumping around, neither helping nor not helping.But after playing a few times, those guys still played with Harry. Children, they don’t know each other, but they always ask why Harry was so cowardly when he was a child. It’s not fun at all, and he just looks like he’s about to cry. They're boring after a couple of hits.

So every time he saw Mrs. Figg strolling in the park "accidentally" for a walk, Harry jumped up and threw one of them down, and then the others submerged Harry in the crowd to play around. It seemed that they beat him hard. Mrs. Figg didn't dare to take a closer look, and could only see that Harry had a wound on the corner of his mouth, his eyes turned into pandas, and his clothes were dusty, and he followed Dudley back home far away. This also happens, Darley He didn't bother to pull Harry when he went home. Harry hid in the deep part of the park by himself, cried, and then looked at the disguised little book by the street lamp. Mrs. Figg's eyes were not good, and she always thought he was reading the book that was secretly kept. In the cartoon, the distressed Mrs. Figg hid at home and wiped her tears.

Harry was enjoying his life, as if he couldn't do these things in the future, rushing to play all kinds of things for a while, even doing housework was a kind of nostalgia for him, and Lily and James had some headaches over there.

The two wore the Eveson family crest and felt dizzy while holding the rose-carved portkey. They didn't know how the portkey was made. The two didn't feel the discomfort that other portkeys should have. This kind of dizziness is a feeling that you suddenly stand up after squatting on the ground for a long time.

As soon as they stood firmly on the ground, Lily and James wondered if their clothes were too short.The foothold is somewhere in the deep mountains of the Scottish Highlands. Even with the adventurous spirit of travel friends, it is unlikely to be found. Even in this season, it is still very cold in the mountains. After all, the mountains are so high. Lily and James tightened their clothes. Look at the old castle in the forest not far away.

The majestic castle stands for thousands of years, with dark gray bricks and dark orange spires, hidden in the deep mountains, surrounded by green plants.The majestic demeanor made Lily kneel down, and she could feel the blood of the Evelson family boiling in her body.Tears flowed quietly from her eyes, and Lily closed her eyes to feel the shock left over from the millennium.

James stood beside Lily, just like Lily, the only thing left in his eyes was looking up at the thousand-year-old castle. It was really Merlin's masterpiece!Now, who's family still left such an ancient castle, even if it was as rich as the Malfoy family, with manors everywhere, but it was just a manor, let alone other nobles.

With the mountain wind whispering in their ears, the two decided to enter the castle along the limestone ladder.The wide stone stairs were covered with moss on both sides, and surrounded by big trees with shade. Because of the heavy dew in the mountains, James half-supported and half-hugged Lily, fearing that her feet would slip.The sun is mottled, casting from the gaps in the scattered leaves, the beauty is unbelievable.It took them a long time to walk up tens of thousands of winding stairs. Standing in front of the towering gates and suspension bridges, James took a deep breath and continued walking. The way they came had been covered by plants. where.

James carefully looked at some old but well-preserved castles by magic. The height of the 15-inch city wall could clearly see the densely packed gun holes and gun holes, and there were two arrow towers standing on the city wall on the left and right sides.Because it is built in the mountains, the castle is not as regular as the castles on the flat ground, and it is not as symmetrical as ancient Western architecture. This castle looks more special because it is adapted to local conditions.

"The parchment says that the way to open the castle needs to be found in the castle." Lily looked at the parchment in her hand and stroked the family crest pinned to her chest with one hand. "People with blood can bring people they trust in, but the castle is sleeping, and the corresponding magic circle and protection magic will not be activated. Even if Muggles and other people in the wizarding world find this place, they will not be able to enter the interior."

James took away the parchment from Lily's hand, curled his lips and said, "The castle is sleeping? I remember the Muggle bedtime stories you told Harry when he was a child." He pulled Lily into the gate, just entered The gate, and the suspension bridge behind it began to creak and creak upward.

This was no surprise to the two, who were familiar with all kinds of horror stories in the Muggle world, and besides, there were wands in the robes.So the two just paused for a few seconds, then walked forward again.

Although the old castle was built in the creation period, it was not called an old castle at that time. There are a few earthen embryo houses, but the real castle was built in the tenth century. I don’t know which owner of the Gothic-style building belongs to it. Likes, although Lily also likes it, but speaking of it, most of the family members are Slytherins, so I guess a lot of them like it.

Looking from a distance, the buildings with thin columns and spires stand quietly, and the winding battlements are like a maze.James and Lily explored it like children, and ran away from the path behind the courtyard. There were countless vegetation on the side of the path, which became the best isolation. There were countless forks in the path, and the two ended up like headless flies. Stand in front of a church-like building.

In the tall church, the light projected on the stained glass of the church is still sacred and solemn, and the statue of Merlin carved on the height is wearing a cloak, with an indifferent expression, as if smiling at the world.Lily and James were a little surprised that the church in the Muggle world would appear in the castle in the wizarding world.

There was a small gap in the wooden door on the stairs, as if it was waiting for someone to enter, the black shadow was fatally attractive, and the two wanted to know what was inside this church-like place.

Put both hands on the wooden door and push hard inside.Although it is a wooden door, it is surprisingly heavy.This is the faint light of the family crests on the chests of Lily and James, and the inside of the church was suddenly brightly lit, causing them to raise their hands to cover their eyes.

After getting used to it, James saw that although it was a church-like building, there was nothing related to the Bible inside. Instead, it depicted countless elves, such a gentle creature, but it was nestled against the Gothic-style red and black roses. .The dome seemed to be lifted, and the sun shone directly into the room.Light and dark complement each other.

"Is this your family's elven blood?" James stood in front of the murals and looked at them one by one. The murals had no text, only pictograms that seemed to be elves, but the elf statue in the middle was very realistic. It seems that those pictograms were created left behind.These paintings probably said that the grandfather of the first head of the Eveson family was a combination of humans and elves.After obtaining elven blood, he learned elven writing, and learned natural magic with the elves, leaving ancient books written on parchment for future generations to learn.

Lily shrugged and said she was not sure: "Maybe." She walked to the desk under the elf statue, which is usually where the Bible is placed, and she opened the old book on the desk, because this church is no longer a church. After all, Lily no longer foolishly thought that this was a religious book.

Seeing a series of names written on the book, and some blank pages in the second half, she thought it might be the genealogy of the Evelson family.The name of the ancestors was written in the ancient British language on the genealogy until the end of the 14th century. At that time, it happened to be the time when the Renaissance was at its peak, but the Evelson family suddenly closed the castle at this time.Lily picked up the quill beside her with emotion, but she didn't find the ink beside it.

Is it?

Lily tried to write her name on the blank page with a quill pen, only to see that the smooth purple-blue ink merged into delicate cursive characters, similar to the name written on the front of the page.Lily looked at the quill, and quickly wrote down her new last name - Evelson.Thinking of James' name also had to be changed.but……

She still wrote down James Potter honestly first. As for covering pseudonyms, it was very simple.Lily curled her lips into a smug smile.The most important thing now is to wake up the castle.

James was right, it sounds like Sleeping Beauty.

Lily put down her pen and walked around. It seems that this place is also the place where the Evelson family held their wedding. Except for the placement of benches similar to ordinary churches, it is above the hall activated by the family emblem. There is no such thing at the moment. It was so sunny, and there were only countless candles burning, just like the great hall of Hogwarts.

Not far behind the elf statue, Lily saw an open coffin, surrounded by roses, so dense that it was impossible to see the person or corpse inside.

"James." Lily beckoned James, who was still looking at the mural, to come over: "You really hit the spot, here is a Sleeping Beauty." She pulled James up the steps beside the coffin.

I saw a red-haired girl in a white dress and a white poppy pinned peacefully in the coffin, with an ethereal smile on her lips.This is clearly Guinevere!

Lily and James looked at each other, and Lily blinked, unable to believe it: "This corpse has been preserved for nearly 2000 years, right? Didn't you say that Guinevere and King Arthur were buried together?"

"I don't know." James touched his chin, and what Harry told them sounded: "Didn't Harry say that Guinevere was buried beside King Arthur herself, or that Lancelot buried herself."

Lily walked around the coffin and found that there were characters on the side of the coffin, which looked very gorgeous, not like the ancient British characters written in the Middle Ages, but more like the ancient Germanic characters at that time. The portraits said that King Arthur conquered it. They killed some Germanic warriors, and it seems that they have something to do with them.And the strokes of these cursive characters will be slightly upward when the last letter of each word is closed, which makes Lili vaguely feel that this word is very familiar, but it’s been a long time since I haven’t seen this word, and she can’t remember it clearly. who is it.

If you don’t understand, there is nothing you can do. Lily spread her hands towards James, and then walked to the other side of the coffin. Lily knew this word, it was an ancient British language.

sleeping rose,

Go to the altar to bear the curse of the millennium,

The curse prays for the blessing after a thousand years.

The fate of the awakened,

Kiss the black creeper.

"Only these few lines?"

Lily nodded: "Qiangwei, we all know the curse, the awakener is Harry, but fate and the creeper..." Her face was a little pale, and the black creeper doesn't sound like a very good thing...

"This should be solved by Harry." In order not to worry Lily, James smiled: "But this is fine, I don't need to play the role of the prince who kisses the princess awake."

In fact, seeing the doomed fate, James also started to beat his heart. Dumbledore's prophecy is still unknown, here is another one!Merlin, how much do you hate Harry to let him be born!

Until the evening, the two were in this prayer hall—the name I saw later on another mural, which described the architectural history of the castle, and it was only at the so-called one hundred feet underground of the prayer hall— This is the world of the gods in the hearts of the Celts, and they found the stone room where the magic circle was placed.

There is a cushioned bench there, which seems to be a product of the 3rd or 4th century. There is a paper contract on a high platform behind the bench. According to the parchment, this should be the blood contract that opened the castle.

Lily took out a silver knife and made a cut on her index finger to point at the contract.

After the contract received a drop of blood, it began to glow, and then the paper kept sucking the blood that dripped from Lily's hand like a hungry vampire.

James hugged Lily, watched Lily's face turn pale, gritted his teeth, but also knew that Lily's hand could not be taken away at this time.

Is this contract trying to suck Lily's blood dry? !

The author has something to say: I didn't get tired of checking the information of the ancient castle.

Hmm~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o, those of you who are fascinated by history will just have to wait and see, and the critique fanatics are merciful! ! !

I'm just mixing history and making up
