HP in the name of Slytherin

Chapter 73 Please Leap to Death 2

It was still the familiar stone room, the lights illuminated the entire room, and a silver crucible appeared in the space where there was originally only a magic circle.

There is no fire underneath, but is surrounded by various crystals and gems piled up in special ways.

Godric, Helga and Rowena, three wizards, cut their palms with daggers and let the blood flow into the pot.

Their expressions were solemn and calm, and they finally watched Salazar put a piece of white bone into it, and then cut off a large piece of flesh from his arm.

The three of them retreated, and Salazar stood in front of the crucible with lowered eyes and chanted: "The flesh and bones of your parents are voluntarily donated to regenerate your body."

The bones and flesh in the pot dissolved into a strange, viscous liquid.

"Great blood, offered on my own initiative to guide your lost soul."

The slime turned a strange silvery white, and a charred torso floated up from the bottom, a complete piece of dead flesh without a head or limbs.

Salazar took a deep breath, "Sleeping heart, listen to the call of the immortal will——"

His knuckled hands were so hard that they trembled slightly. He knew that if Catherine did not possess certain noble qualities, the magic would inevitably fail.

But this is impossible. Catherine, who inherited the divinity of Lamia, is willing to sacrifice herself for others... The only reason for failure is that she really left.

Give up this life and give up his incompetent father.

"Please fly over the kingdom of death..."

Please leap over death, even if this world gives you so much pain.

Please...believe it one more time...just once...

"The last descendant of the gods, at this moment, return to the world!" He raised his wand and opened his arms, completely devout from body to heart.

——Dad, why is the master-slave contract posed like this? Can't I just show off like that?

——Putting your right hand on your heart means that all actions come from the heart and you will never regret it. Opening your left arm means giving everything, surrendering physically and mentally and never resisting... Little girl, this is an amazing combination from language to body. The curse cannot be changed randomly.

Memories are like bubbles, appearing and disappearing.

Salazar in front of him shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come back, Catherine!"

There was no fluctuation in the magic circle, and the crucible was even quieter.

one second...

Two seconds...

He choked with sobs: "I won't let you get hurt again, please..."

His young body suddenly aged rapidly, and his vitality was continuously losing visible to the naked eye, but Salazar looked surprised.

The magic circle glowed brightly, illuminating his completely old body. Salazar called Catherine's name, ignoring the broken wand, and strode closer to the altar, "You are the best child in the world, I know it. I knew it……"

The remains soaked in mucus began to rise and fall violently, and began to squirm and grow. The scene was strange and a bit disgusting.

Catherine only looked at Salazar's face that was so excited that she was crying. In fact, she should also be crying, seeing such a proud father losing a lot of time for her, begging for others, even her daughter, regardless of manners and dignity.

This is proof that her father loves her.

But damn...

She reached out her hand to support the shaky Salazar, but unfortunately it was just a distant memory, and her fingers finally passed through Salazar's dry arm.

Just like she can no longer touch her father, her brain and emotions seem to be blocked. She can see these fragments in her eyes, but she can't produce any emotional fluctuations.

The love and approval she longed for from her father was right in front of her, but she couldn't feel it anymore.

——Speaking nonsense again, Catherine will have someone to love in the future, and she will only find her father annoying.

——No way, dad is the best, I love dad the most!

——The most important thing about sacrifice...

Memories are like foam on the sea. If there is a slight storm, they will disappear completely.

But if there are no wind and waves, the bubble can exist for a while...

Catherine has discovered this secret. As long as she has no fluctuations in her heart, she can peek into the past that has disappeared.

Don't be sad, don't be in pain, don't be curious or searching...

Look a little closer, listen a little more.

——Sacrifice my memory...

——...The most important thing about the sacrifice...is to let her return...

Her brain suddenly fainted, and when Catherine reacted, the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her.

The next moment, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder and pulled her out.

Dumbledore's furious voice sounded in his ears: "You bold girl! You almost became the first wizard to drown in the Pensieve!"

Catherine stared at Dumbledore blankly. After a moment, she pushed her wet and messy hair back and smiled, "So I asked Professor Binns to find you. It's a good idea, isn't it?"

One of her eyes was still gray-blue, and the other turned into a rich dark green. She thought she was joking with Dumbledore and Binns, but there was another voice in the ears of Dumbledore and Binns. He also spoke at the same time: "Destroy these memories."

It was Salazar's old voice.

Catherine was unaware.

Professor Binns nodded and watched the dark emerald eye slowly disappear.

Catherine wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

Dumbledore summoned a chair for Catherine to sit on, and checked her body up and down with his wand, "See if there is anything seriously wrong with you."

"It's no problem, but it solves a long-standing confusion," Catherine said easily, trying to comfort Professor Binns, who was hanging his head next to her. "Don't worry, Professor, I really don't remember it anymore."

Past memories and emotions are all gone.

She had watched so much, it was like watching what the Muggle world called a movie.

Professor Binns seemed to be busy. Catherine said to Dumbledore, who was chanting a curse in a low voice, "When Voldemort was studying, I appeared by his side, right?"

Dumbledore nodded. This time he didn't feel any sense of crisis. He asked, "Do you remember?"

After a moment, he added, "There are still some things I can't say."

"Almost, I have cleared up some ideas," Catherine lowered her eyes. "You remember, but many people don't remember. I don't know what Voldemort is like."

The landing point of her first "time travel" was decades ago, when she appeared and acted, so Helbo said that she had left halfway, and there were refrigerators from decades ago in the castle.

But people's memories of her appearance decades ago disappeared. I don't know if it was the sequelae of her second "time travel" or if her father used some forbidden magic at that time. Dumbledore remembers it, maybe because he has stronger magic? Or there is some other reason why I can't continue telling her now.

She was successfully reborn with the help of her father. Professor Binns's memory clearly contained the scene of her coming back from the dead. She was nearly twenty years old at that time.

The so-called "time travel" should be what happened after this. There must be something important that she must do, so she left her father.

Forbidden magic comes with a price.

The first time she sacrificed her memory should correspond to what Dumbledore said about her appearing when Voldemort was reading.

But she traveled through time a second time, and the first time probably failed.

The second time, the voice in her memory was that of her father, who helped her sacrifice her most important feelings.

For her, the most important feeling is the feeling for her father.

Sacrifice these two things, and she will have a brand new life when she wakes up.

It doesn't matter whether you continue this "mission" or just pretend that nothing happened and start a new life.

"I left you and came here just for this mission... We must have felt that this mission was more important at the time."

"Voldemort must have done something in the future to make you feel that you must take action..." As Salazar's daughter, Catherine must share the worries of her "aged" father, so she came here.

Catherine was not disappointed when she didn't get a response from Salazar's remnant soul. Her father had been awkwardly pretending not to be there ever since she remembered seeing Professor Binns.

She asked Dumbledore: "How was your chat with Mr. Shafik?"

"He wants to meet you and talk to you about the legacy His Excellency Salazar has left for you."

"Okay, please make an appointment with him."

The Shafiq family is one of the governing families of Hogwarts.

She had a guess in her mind, and she could only confirm it after meeting Voldemort. They are all descendants of Slytherin. She is possessive of Hogwarts, but she doesn't believe that Voldemort doesn't.
