HP in the name of Slytherin

"Oh~this is~wonderful magic~"

Catherine was holding an unusually gorgeous cross sword. Even if it was adjusted to fit her body shape, the overall length was still longer than a traditional sword. Considering its special nature - Godric's relic, Catherine held it carefully with both hands. it.

In a trance, he saw a small wooden stake and a little man on the edge of the familiar black lake, where Godric originally liked to practice swordsmanship.

The girl who was less than Godric's waist, holding a wooden cross sword in her hand, practicing slashing every now and then, had hair as black as night like Salazar.

"Come on Catherine, 92 more times, harder! 91! 90!"

Whenever Catherine practiced swordsmanship, if Salazar was fine or just reading books and documents, he would sit under the tree next to him, doing his own thing while paying attention to Catherine's learning progress.

When a young girl completes a hard training task, she will run to her father first to ask for praise.

Catherine subconsciously wanted to look back at the big tree, but as expected, the flashback memory disappeared in the next second.

"Catherine?" Dumbledore called her.

"It's okay..." Her mind was empty again, but when she looked down at this cross sword with complicated patterns and inlaid with many gems, Catherine couldn't help but smile, "This is Mr. Godric's sword. "

Dumbledore could see that Catherine was in a bad mood and didn't say much. Instead, the Sorting Hat sang loudly and unwillingly: "Catherine, my dear Catherine, Godric told me that when you grow up, this sword will belong to you." "

"A hero~should be equipped with a sword~like Godric~like a knight~protecting the most precious thing~"

Gryffindor's sword is quite heavy, but you get used to it after holding it for a while.

Catherine had never practiced swordsmanship in this life, but after holding it for a while, she felt very comfortable.

"It only appears when it wants to," Dumbledore said. "This should be considered the first token?"

Catherine rubbed the sword's blade with her palm and said after a moment: "Not that much, I remember it still has a scabbard."

In Professor Binns' memory, Godric often carried this sword with the same ornate scabbard.

Even without memory, Catherine knew vaguely...

The two of them looked at the Sorting Hat with "scorching eyes", which was now completely angled, singing a strange song with a hoarse voice while "watching" Catherine's movements.

Seeing her looking at him, the Sorting Hat twisted its body and sang loudly: "As you said~ it is not it before you~ Gryffindor's token~ belongs to the bravest knight~"

Catherine fell into a mysterious state. As if she was being guided by something, she directly asked the Sorting Hat: "Where is the scabbard hidden?"

The Sorting Hat's twisted hat quickly returned to its straight position, as if a switch had been triggered, and said seriously: "Katherine, are you going to inherit Hogwarts?"

The tone was very solemn, and even the voice seemed slightly different.

Catherine nodded, "Yes."

"Then you need to get the tokens of the four founders and pass the test to prove that you are, and you are still, our mutually preferred successor," the Sorting Hat said, "Gryffindor's token, and Slytherin's token Together, hidden in the secret room Salazar built for you."

After the Sorting Hat finished speaking, his body became exhausted and he went back to sleep.

Catherine thought about its tone just now...it seemed to have brought Godric into it.

Dumbledore returned the sleeping Sorting Hat to the shelf and said with emotion: "It can still be used after so many years. It is such a wonderful guidance magic."

"You must have done some research on tokens over the years, right?" Catherine put away her sadness and followed Dumbledore in small steps, "I wonder if you have ever investigated the Chamber of Secrets?"

She wanted to inherit Hogwarts, but Dumbledore found the Sorting Hat. He was knowledgeable and knew the "wills" left by the four founders, and he should have done relevant research over the years.

"Indeed," Dumbledore pushed up his half-moon glasses, and faced Catherine's "opportunism", he did not hide it. "Tom seems to have tried to find Salazar's secret room. I'm not sure whether he succeeded. When I heard the news, a student died unexpectedly, Myrtle on the second floor of the castle, and there was no news after that.”

"So Myrtle might know something..."

Dumbledore added: "If you ask the students about the scary rumors in the school, about Salazar's Chamber of Secrets, some young wizards will tell you: There are very terrible things hidden in it, which Salazar used to purge Hogwart. The words of the hemp wizard from Ci..."

Catherine raised her eyebrows, "My father wouldn't do such a thing."

Although in his memory he did threaten the other three founders... but that was because she was in a special situation at the time, and Salazar was too anxious and worried.

"I know, I know," Dumbledore patted Catherine on the shoulder, "I say this to tell you that there may indeed be some dangerous things inside. After all, if you are tested, you will never be allowed to go in and play, right? ?”

The two of them looked at the Gryffindor sword in Catherine's hand.

"I think you're right..."

First get the sword, which is part of Gryffindor's token, and then trigger the Sorting Hat's guidance magic to tell her to put the other part with Slytherin's token.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Dumbledore said with confidence: "You should be good at swordsmanship?"

Catherine twitched her lips, "Probably."

Their eyes met, and Dumbledore looked away first: "Why don't you practice before setting off? Since it has chosen you now, you will be the one to keep it."

Modern wizards are different from ancient times. In the past, Godric carried a sword every day, and the sword was faster than magic.

If Catherine went out with Gryffindor's sword now, she would definitely have a group of young wizards walking around her...even further than before.

Fortunately, Catherine brought a small bag with a traceless stretching spell with her, so she could put the sword in it.

"Then I'll go back and study it first."

After saying hello to Dumbledore, she took Halbo back.

The two of them talked for a long time. It was a short time before lunch time. Catherine had donut service. It was more convenient to go back to her room to have lunch. By the way, she could also check out the information while eating.

But while I was eating and reading, I heard Herbo say: [Master, Severus wants to come see you. 】
