Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 142
Scott felt that Medea at this moment was exactly the same as Helena in the portrait in the Room of Requirement, so he chatted for some reason.

It turned out that Medea was moved after discovering the original purpose of the music room in the notes left by Slytherin.

The magic contained in Hogwarts Castle is too powerful.

Slytherin is a legendary wizard himself, so he's just doing some experiments with the powerful magic of the castle.

But Medea, who is not so powerful herself, is extremely greedy for the powerful magic power contained in the castle.

She has been studying how to use these magical powers to strengthen herself, catch up with the back of that great father, and gain his approval.

After countless days and nights of painstaking research, she seemed to finally see a glimmer of hope——

She found an ancient oath signing ceremony that required a huge source of magic power from the collection left by Slytherin.

This oath has no other function, it just follows the principle of equivalent exchange and can trade with anyone.

What is traded is not money and items, but intangible things such as magic power, talent, and even lifespan.

This discovery made Medea ecstatic.

If she can get enough magical power and talent in exchange, she can become a genius like her father!

But after calming down, she was not satisfied with it.

The oath follows the principle of equivalent exchange, which means that what is gained must be lost.

Medea just wants to be strong, she doesn't want to lose anything.

Later, she began to painstakingly research and transform it, and came up with some ideas.

This is why she suddenly wants to regret the marriage.

She confidently felt that she had found a way to become stronger, and getting married was no longer her best choice.

So she turned to the other three founders who were friends with her father, and to her friend Helena.

But everyone politely rejected her.

According to the rules, no one can intervene in the marriage contract made by Slytherin himself unless he himself appears.

Although Medea, who repented of the failed marriage, was a little disheartened, she quickly cheered up again.

Marriage can't change her desire to become stronger.

She began to devote herself wholeheartedly to her research, trying to improve that ancient oath.

She didn't want to be a party to the transaction witnessed by the oath, but to be the controller of the oath.

But she failed.

The oath didn't seem to be as useful as she'd hoped.

The oath can only rely on a huge source of magic power, and as a wizard, she cannot really control it.

On the eve of graduation, Medea, who is about to get married, chooses to keep her achievements extremely unwillingly.

Since she can't control it when she is alive, let's wait until she is dead to complete it.

She reinvented the oath and set her eyes on the distant future, sneaking into the music room to further modify it.

Then, she tried to persuade Ravenclaw with conditions, and finally agreed to some harsh conditions proposed by Ravenclaw, and completed the signing ceremony of the reformed oath.

Listening to Medea's continuous breaking news, Scott felt that she was a genius.

He didn't understand why a witch who can do these things should be said to be mediocre...

Is talent only in magic?
In Scott's view, Medea is simply learned and talented.

Medea didn't explain too much about the process of researching and reforming the oath, but Scott couldn't understand just a few words.

He glanced at Dumbledore. The old headmaster listened with gusto, and his eyes sparkled.

Scott clearly realized the huge gap between himself and wizards like Dumbledore.

Although he knew that this gap was huge, it was the first time he had such a clear understanding.

Just the amount of knowledge alone is already very different!
Medea is still talking.

After signing the oath, her mentality seemed to have changed again.

Although the content of the oath gave her hope to achieve her goal after death, the harsh conditions of the oath made her dare not die just like that.

After graduating from Hogwarts, she seemed to figure it out and compromise.

She got married obediently, and lived a stable life that Slytherin hoped for her.

In her long and trivial life, she seemed to be perfectly integrated into the life of the Gaunt family, becoming an ordinary wife and an ordinary mother.

The oath to stay at Hogwarts is like a distant dream, which just witnessed her struggle with all her strength when she was young.

She seemed to let go of her feelings at that time.

Until she was old, but unknowingly began to think of her youth frequently, thinking of the dream of staying in Hogwarts.

She finally recognized herself.

She doesn't love her husband, and she doesn't like her children that much.

She never let go of her childhood obsessions.

She has even forgotten her father's face, but still wants to get the recognition that she has never received.

After figuring this out, she couldn't stand a mediocre life more and more.

Thinking of her life experience, she almost suffocated in despair.

Even the elderly husband and grown-up child in front of her eyes became more and more hateful in her eyes.

She acted quickly.

She made a puppet exactly like her when she was young, killed her increasingly hated husband, and turned the puppet into her Horcrux.

"..."

Scott stared wide-eyed at Medea, who kept breaking the news.

He was already stunned by this old lady's miraculous operation!
This old lady, you really are not a good stubble!

Could it be that Voldemort's production of Horcruxes is also hereditary in your descendants who don't know how many generations have passed?

Also, what has your poor husband done wrong!
It's miserable!
Dumbledore, who heard the Horcrux, was not calm at the moment.

"Horcrux." He said solemnly, "It's an evil spell. I didn't expect you to do it."

Medea said disapprovingly: "You should guess something, Mr. Principal."

"Indeed." Dumbledore nodded, "but I'm not sure."

Medea laughed, "Don't worry, Mr. Principal, this is my only Horcrux."

Dumbledore did not speak, did not believe or not believe.

Medea continued to tell her own story.

After making the Horcruxes, she faked her own death and returned to Hogwarts without anyone finding out.

She sneaked into the music room, left some arrangements behind, and took her own life.

To be precise, she used a magical ritual to sacrifice everything about herself.

To be honest, Scott didn't quite understand.

Probably Medea sacrificed her own body and bound her Horcrux doll to the oath.

She took a big gamble, risking everything except the puppet that was made into a Horcrux.

As long as the condition of the oath can be fulfilled-the soul sacrifice of a blood descendant in Hogwarts, she can wake up.

This kind of awakening is unreasonable, as long as the conditions are met, the oath can wake her up.

And judging from the harsh conditions of the oath, the chance of her waking up is actually pitifully small.
