HP in the name of Slytherin

[Catherine] pinched the boy's neck and pressed the wand made of Haierbo's bone and blood against the boy's forehead.

The boy's face was red from being pinched, and the chaotic interior of the room showed that he had struggled. However, in the face of absolute power, his magical riot was just childish and had been completely suppressed by [Catherine].

But she paused in his sobs and pleas, and Catherine remembered what it felt like.

She had sacrificed all her memories at that time, but she had to remember what she had to do when traveling through time and space.

She repeatedly tested on the edge of the rules, and it seemed that she finally succeeded. In fact, it was the rules that gave her a hidden danger called "lucky".

She only remembered killing a descendant named Tom Marvolo Riddle, who also went by the name Voldemort. With the help of Haierbo, [Catherine] hid this short paragraph in the core of the wand, and the wand was rolled into Haierbo's body. One person and one basilisk hid in the prepared Haierbo castle and began time travel.

With the blessing of her and Salazar's forbidden magic, [Catherine]'s destination was the time after the descendant was born, by his side.

[Catherine] wakes up without any memory, but as a descendant of the snake god, Herbo is hiding in its Herbo Castle, so its memory is no problem.

The unintelligent little basilisk only remembered that its master ordered it to protect the wand and hand it to her when the master woke up.

Haierbo did as he was told, and [Catherine] indeed discovered the clues he left behind.

In order to avoid failure of the mission after losing her memory, [Catherine] was full of great murderous intent before falling asleep, and this feeling vaguely remained when she woke up.

So she directly abandoned Helbo, ordered it to sleep, and then forced it to leave Chaos through the gap and came to Tom Riddle.

This boy looks like he is seven or eight years old, but he is actually ten years old.

The life in the orphanage made him very thin. [Catherine] didn't care so much. After asking the boy's name, she strangled him by the neck and prepared to kill him.

Like a broken magic circle, she only remembers "killing the descendant named Tom Marvolo Riddle". As for why she wants to kill, she has no idea how to kill after losing all her memory after time travel.

Under the attack of various magics that Tom instinctively used, Catherine finally discovered the fluctuations of magic, and finally used magic to suppress Tom's magic riot.

During the confrontation, Tom discovered his own weakness and also discovered the abnormality of [Catherine].

[Catherine] discovered Tom's talent in the process, and... the resulting wavering.

Such an outstanding child was living in a cold and dark prison - in Tom's memory, this was called confinement, and it was the normal life in his orphanage.

[Catherine] used half-baked Legilimency to instinctively search for Tom's memory.

Tom sensed something was wrong, and instinctively used his magic power to resist her.

Look, his talent was so outstanding, [Catherine] didn’t know why she wanted to kill him.

Her heart was filled with sadness and pain, and her initial determination gradually collapsed amidst Tom's crying and pleading.

She only remembers that she lost the most important thing.

In the strange yet familiar helpless cry and clinging begging for mercy, she put down her wand and let go of her hand.

Catherine looked at the confused [Catherine] and Tom who lowered his eyes to hide his hatred and murderous intent, silently.

The highest law is always unbreakable. For example, Salazar took her life back by force, devoted his huge vitality, and gathered so many things that were difficult to collect. In the end, he succeeded, but he was not completely successful.

The resurrected Catherine has no magic power, and this is the warning of the law.

So [Catherine] tried to leave traces in this way. The law seemed to acquiesce, but at this time it gave her a fatal blow.

From Catherine's point of view, she might as well not do anything, at least don't shout and kill as soon as she comes up. Then there may be room for maneuver - although not much, Tom, who is only ten years old, already has his own right and wrong, good and evil. , he is already smart enough to discover [Catherine]'s weaknesses in a short time and take advantage of them.

So if she really wanted to kill, she shouldn't be soft-hearted at the last moment. Her damn instinct actually tricked her at the last moment.

Even without looking at the ending, Catherine knew that since she wanted to kill Tom but gave up on killing him, her time travel would inevitably fail.

Sure enough, after that, Tom pretended to be pitiful in front of [Catherine], and [Catherine], who had lost all her memory, was played around by him. Even if she still had instincts of good and evil, she would not bully the innocent children in the orphanage or do anything. The greater evil, her existence, still allowed Tom to gradually take control of the entire orphanage and even the nearby neighborhoods.

Before Dumbledore came, [Catherine] realized that her magic was wrong, and then she remembered poor Halbo.

A year has passed, and the little basilisk was awakened from sleep by hunger again and again, and was forced to sleep again and again because of previous orders. Repeatedly, it finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to eat its own body.

Herbo Castle continued to shake due to its serious injury, and finally fed back to [Catherine].

At this time, Haierbo has already eaten two-sevenths of itself. If it eats any more, it will lose its mind and fall.

Catherine looked at Haierbo, who had lost a large part of his tail, and saw [Catherine] subconsciously taking a half-step back, feeling uncontrollable resentment in her heart.

To my past self...

The purpose of time travel was not achieved, her memory and relatives were lost, and in the end even Haierbo was not protected. What use was she? !

He was so stupid that he was fooled around by the young Voldemort, but he actually regarded him as a relative!

【Owner……】

Haierbo's cautious voice came from outside the world, interrupting Catherine's increasingly serious self-disgust.

The little basilisk was lingering outside the quiet room, maybe because it was worried about her, maybe because there was something wrong.

In Catherine's mind, she still remembered the first time she traveled through the world, Halbo, who had lost a large part of his tail... was trapped in the secret room where she woke up this time and awakened Halbo.

Blood and scales fell on the floor, stacked repeatedly, because it would eat itself when it woke up from hunger, and while eating, it would forcefully fall back to sleep because of her previous orders.

And [Catherine], who lost her memory, was far less compassionate and gentle towards it than Tom Riddle.

She regarded Tom Riddle, the first person she saw after her relationship calmed down, as a relative, but she forgot that it was Halbo who surrounded her with his body and stayed with her for a thousand years of sleep.

Catherine felt that [Catherine] was not her at all.

"Probably what we thought at the beginning is that the memory of sacrifice is the bait given by the rules." Salazar's voice sounded in his mind.

Catherine looked silently at the dark quiet room, where the incense lit in the corner was the only source of light.

Traveling through thousands of years is such a great forbidden magic, but the price is naturally extremely expensive. Memory is one of the most important parts of a person, second only to the soul, so it is perfect as a sacrificial object.

But when a person loses all her memory, is she still the same person?

"I have been wondering where your extra protectiveness came from. Did Godric teach you bad things, or did Helga influence you too deeply. Later I found out that it was neither. I forgot that you are Lamia's daughter. He was left as the heir to her throne... You always have compassion for the weak of the same kind, maybe it corresponds to protecting the people of the kingdom? After all, in the ancient books, the kingdom of Lamia was once rich and peaceful, and there was no need for conquest. Those who only need protectors.”

"But I'm not... I'm just me..."

God has left long ago, and Lamia's kingdom has been annihilated for many years. Catherine only wants to protect her family and Hogwarts, which carries their family's will and wishes.

But she didn't do anything last time...

Why did she travel through time thousands of years ago, and why did she carry the obsession to kill Voldemort? Combined with Voldemort's current performance, everything is ready to come out.

She had already missed once and would not do it again.

"Don't be disappointed in me, father..."

Catherine stood up again, and at the last moment leaving the quiet room, she heard Salazar's low voice: "I have never been disappointed in you, Catherine."
