HP in the name of Slytherin

"Of course..." If Dumbledore had cooperated a little more, Catherine's plan would have been much less troublesome.

Sometimes, he can even add fuel to the flames.

"I can understand your fear of Slytherin. I understand that the black magic of today is very different from the past. In the past, we thought of black magic as forbidden magic that challenged life, death, time, and space. My father is indeed good at it. I am very passionate about this, but now, people's concept of black magic has become narrow... This is more in line with the requirements of this era, but Slytherin College has retained its original curiosity and enthusiasm for powerful magic. "

With the same curiosity and fanaticism, the vast majority of Ravenclaws can retain a certain amount of rationality and dismantle the magical logic contained in it, while the vast majority of Slytherins will be obsessed with it and are good at using it to achieve their own goals.

The three modern Unforgivable Curses were all modified and developed by Slytherins.

"Slytherin will only obey an excellent and powerful leader, the strongest magic, the most brilliant means, and the most impeccable charm. Do you agree with this view?"

Dumbledore nodded slowly.

Tom Riddle once met the above conditions, so his power could vaguely surpass the dean, he could stir up troubles in Slytherin while he was still a student, and he would have a profound influence after graduation.

"That Voldemort was very outstanding when he was in school, right?" Catherine asked, "Maybe he is also the chairman. Ordinary prefects are not worthy of everyone's support for him?"

Dumbledore nodded again. He didn't reveal it, it was all Catherine's guess, and it wouldn't violate the rules.

Catherine then knew that her guess was correct.

She continued to speculate: "I guess he had huge influence while he was in school. This influence became social prestige after he and his supporters graduated, and then through social management, now in turn controls the college? "

"Yes," Dumbledore admitted.

So the two of them may really be connected, thinking on the same way up.

Catherine rubbed her chin, "He has already walked in front of me and walked through the road I want to walk."

Dumbledore looked at her with a meaningful look again, "So how do you plan to crack it?"

"He proved that the academy can influence the external environment, and by influencing the academy from the outside, why can't I go again?" Catherine said proudly, "In terms of bloodline, I am more upright than him, in terms of ability, I don't believe that I am worse than him."

Regarding her confidence, Dumbledore only raised the most likely problem: "It is indeed possible at Hogwarts, but Miss Catherine, it is impossible for you to never leave school, and I believe he will invite you to meet him soon. "

"Then let's meet," Catherine looked at Dumbledore. "Strong alliances are often difficult to break from the outside. On the contrary, internal problems will cause it to collapse."

Her eyes were clear, "You told me about the existence of the rules, wasn't it just for that time?"

There are some things that are untouchable by the gods, and even those as powerful as Dumbledore are not exempt from the world. When he exposed this weakness, wasn't he telling her in a subtle way that the most powerful dark wizard in history also had this weakness?

Dumbledore lowered his eyes and sighed: "This will be dangerous."

"Well, indeed..." Catherine asked curiously, "Then who is stronger, you or him?"

Catherine probably knows the gap between herself and Dumbledore. Her body is too young and the amount of magic she possesses is too small. After she accumulates it for another 20 years, Dumbledore may be about 20 years older... It depends on the opponent's old age and weakness to obtain it. Victory itself shows that one is weak.

Dumbledore smiled: "Perhaps you would like to ask more, why don't I fight against Voldemort myself?"

Catherine was not embarrassed after being exposed, and said bluntly: "Don't the concepts he holds now and the chaos he has caused prove that he is dangerous and that he is not worthy of your action?"

Death Eaters had hurt Muggle wizards in public places like Diagon Alley some time ago, not to mention that Voldemort didn't know about it.

Dumbledore sighed, "I stay at Hogwarts, and his influence can penetrate into Slytherin at most. This can be regarded as a mutual concession."

Catherine picked up a strand of gray hair around her ears and twisted it between her fingers. After thinking for a moment, she said: "As long as I don't go too far, you will support me in seizing power in Slytherin House... In this way, I will transfer a part of my power." contradiction."

It is better for her to master Slytherin than for Voldemort to master Slytherin. Moreover, there is another possibility that Voldemort died because she was "preferred by God" in the process of targeting her.

To put it bluntly, the fight between two descendants of Slytherin will inevitably weaken the power of Slytherin House, which will in turn greatly reduce the strength of the "Slytherins" in the magical world, leaving opportunities for others to rise.

Dumbledore looked at Catherine quietly: "Yes, I'm sorry."

Apologize, but persist.

Catherine showed a complicated smile: "He is a descendant of the Slytherin family, Professor Dumbledore. There are only two 'Slytherins' in the world."

"This is the best way to protect the entire Hogwarts," Dumbledore said. "Didn't Miss Catherine realize that he is incompatible with you, so she took the top position in the first grade?"

Catherine only said: "There are only two 'Slytherins' in the world. As long as I behave in front of him, he will not be willing to kill me."

From first to seventh grade, she could continue to spy on Dumbledore and win people's hearts in Hogwarts under the name "Slytherin".

When she grows up, like many ancient families in the past, she can marry Voldemort and give birth to a noble descendant of him with pure blood.

He would not be willing to kill such a useful Catherine.

But Catherine would absolutely kill him.

"He is not the father of a descendant I am satisfied with." Catherine smiled and shook her head.

As Salazar's daughter, when she needs to "obediently" deal with someone in exchange for safety, and is eventually planned to marry the person and have children for him, it is really difficult to end it without killing him.

Dumbledore looked at Catherine and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Miss Catherine."

Catherine shrugged, "What I just said is that it will happen to me soon. As long as my last name is Slytherin, it will definitely happen."

Of course, if Dumbledore was willing to take action forcefully and kill Voldemort at all costs as soon as possible, this threat would not exist...

No...that's not right...

Catherine suddenly thought of another possibility.

Dumbledore looked at her helplessly: "You thought of it."

Catherine looked at him with complicated eyes: "The current situation of Gryffindor is because you are a graduate of Gryffindor, the former dean of Gryffindor, and the current principal of Hogwarts."

When you think of Gryffindor, what comes to mind in the wizarding world?

The academy of brave men is upright and bright! Brave and fearless! Any other words of praise? You can buckle it anyway, because Dumbledore, the greatest and most powerful wizard in modern times, is here!

Dumbledore's reputation is so great!

He defeated Grindelwald and suppressed him in Nurmengard. Now he is deeply feared by Voldemort. He would rather reach a tacit understanding with him than dare to get too involved in Hogwarts, the most important talent base in the wizarding world.

If he personally ends Voldemort, it is conceivable that Gryffindor will become the uncrowned king at Hogwarts!

It is not a good sign for Hogwarts if any house stands above the others.

"Of course, besides this, there is another reason," Dumbledore looked at Catherine gently, "Forgive me, Miss Catherine, I am only a mortal."

There was a hint of fatigue on his old face. Catherine remembered the first time she saw Dumbledore, when she saw that the old headmaster deliberately made himself older.

Powerful wizards live a long life. For example, Dumbledore can be said to be in his prime at 90 years old. She wondered at the time, was it because she was deliberately making herself look older in order to impress others with her appearance?

But now Dumbledore looks really old, and he makes her feel old.

"I once tried to pursue power, and it brought disaster..." Dumbledore lowered his eyebrows, and Catherine could not see his expression clearly.

She just felt sad for him...

She tried to listen, but unfortunately Dumbledore was so gentle in the end and brushed off the topic.

"My stay at Hogwarts is good for everyone."

From the defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald until Voldemort officially became active last year, Dumbledore has been elected every time there is a general election in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore always refused, always saying that he just wanted to stay at Hogwarts and be a teacher.

This is an interesting thing that Catherine saw when she was looking at information related to Dumbledore.

Now she kind of understands...

It doesn't matter, according to the era, Dumbledore is also considered a junior at Hogwarts.

She took the initiative to reach out and shake Dumbledore's old, cold hand.

As a past senior, she embraces the vulnerabilities and choices of all students.
