I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

Chapter 21 The intersection of fate

Just when Salazar wandered to the Slytherin common room at night and met Godric at night, someone in Hogwarts was also unable to sleep late at night, tossing and turning.

Slughorn looked at the parchment in front of him, unable to make up his mind.

He raised his wrinkled hand and rubbed the table in front of him, his eyes full of reluctance.

He hesitated.

When he raised his head, some moist light flashed in his eyes.

To him, Hogwarts was the place he had worked for for more than half his life.

Just when Slughorn was having trouble making a decision, something suddenly blew past his window. Slughorn subconsciously looked out into the deep night, feeling that something had just flown by.

He whispered: "It's so late, and someone still sends owls?"

He heard the distinctive hoot of an owl, low and distant.

At this time, Slughorn didn't know what was going to happen.

About half an hour later, someone knocked on Slughorn's door.

He was draped in a blanket and discovered it was Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts.

"what happened?"

Filch was holding an owl, holding up a letter, and said anxiously: "This owl made a lot of noise in the owl hall. I could only go over and take a look, and then I saw it carrying A letter to Shandy Spohr, and it seemed very anxious, so I opened it without permission."

Slughorn frowned, not intending to correct Filch's rude behavior. He just realized that something terrible had happened. He took the letter from Filch and opened it to read.

"Merlin, Shandy's mother said she needs him to come home urgently."

Slughorn frowned, feeling that something was wrong. It felt inappropriate to let his children leave school and go home urgently at such a late hour, but Slughorn was worried that this was true. Something urgent, especially considering the status of Shandy's parents.

He sighed and said to Filch, "I understand. Let me wake up the kid. If the matter is really urgent, he may have to go home overnight. I hope it's not anything particularly bad."

It is indeed unpleasant to be woken up in the middle of the night.

Shangdi looked at the simple letter and couldn't tell what was going on for a while, but since it was a letter written by his mother, he had to go home.

"It's already so late, right... why don't we wait until dawn before going back." Slughorn just glanced at his pocket watch and confirmed that it was only one or two o'clock in the morning. He was worried. He looked at the student.

Shandy cannot be said to be a smart child, but his surname is noble enough and he is very sincere. Slughorn cannot say that he likes him as much as he likes students like Lily, but he also takes good care of such students. .

He spoke cautiously and persuaded: "Let's wait a little longer. Write a letter first and go back to ask about something. As for letting you leave school, you have to ask the principal."

But thinking about Dumbledore's whereabouts, Slughorn was a little unhappy.

Because Dumbledore is not at school now, Slughorn has no objection to the principal leaving the school. He probably knows the reason.

James Potter was injured, and the injury was serious. So after receiving the news, Dumbledore left Hogwarts and went to St. Mungo's to visit James Potter. There were probably some other things that he needed to deal with.

Professor McGonagall probably also learned the news and hurried over. She looked at Shandy who was in a panic. After learning what happened from Slughorn, she was a little hesitant.

"It's too late, Horace. I don't recommend students leaving school at such a late hour."

But how could Shandi stay?

He looked at Slughorn pleadingly.

"Minerva, let Spoor go home and take a look. If something really urgent happens, it would be bad if he misses it because he didn't go back in time."

Mag watched Shandy look at him with a pleading expression, then looked at his colleagues, hesitantly, and finally nodded.

In the bedroom, a small snake swam to Salazar's hand and made a hissing sound.

Salazar and Godric looked at each other.

"Both Professors McGonagall and Professor Slughorn arrived in the Slytherin common room and they found a Slytherin student."

Salazar diligently translated the information sent by the little snake.

Then, he sneered and said, "It's really rare for it to be so lively at such a late hour. It turns out I'm not the only one who can't sleep."

Godric frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"What? You want to go down and take a look? You can't sleep at night, and you want the two deans to find out?"

"At this time, and between the two deans, something big probably happened." Godric touched his chin, wondering if he should go down and get involved.

"Godric." Salazar called Godric's name.

Godric looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you such a nosy character?"

Salazar's question was a bit unexpected, but his question almost gave up Godric's idea of ​​going out.

"You didn't assume that you were one of the four founders of this school just because the magic history book said you were one of them, right?"

Salazar raised his eyebrows, looked at Godric, and found Godric's moment of guilt in his wandering eyes.

"You really put yourself into it? Interesting. Godric, even if you and I founded this school together, that was what happened long after we returned."

He tapped Godric's heart with his finger, then pointed to his nose.

"This school now has nothing to do with us now. If you have that idle thought, you'd better restrain yourself and think more about how we got to the timeline that truly belongs to us!"

I have to say what Salazar said is very reasonable, but Godric is not the kind of guy who can be convinced by Salazar's words.

"You said I shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs. If I still spend all that time on James and Lily's affairs in your hall, doesn't it count as getting involved in unnecessary things?"

Salazar sneered and replied confidently: "Of course! Lily took us in after all! She is a favor to us. If anything happens to her, as the future patriarch of the Slytherin family, I will watch helplessly what happened to my benefactor. What, what’s the shame of that?”

This makes sense.

Godric sighed.

"Yes, but have you also forgotten that Professor Slughorn is my teacher? He really taught me very dedicatedly, especially writing me letters of recommendation and sending me to another magician. Internship with Master Medicine." Godric looked at Salazar seriously. "If something happens to this old man, I can't just ignore him."

Salazar frowned: "But from what Snake told me, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the professor. There should be something wrong with the student."

Godric rolled his eyes and discussed: "I'll go down and take a quick look. I'll come back if nothing happens."

Salazar looked at Godric and said, "You're just curious, right?"

"If you are not curious, you are a teenager! I am still a teenager~~"

Godric jumped up from the bed and took out his wand from under the pillow. With a flick of the wand, the candles in the bedroom were lit.

"I'll go down and take a look. The worst case scenario is that I woke up hungry in the middle of the night and wanted to find something to eat."

"What a terrible excuse!" Salazar complained mercilessly.

When Godric left the bedroom, Salazar followed him. The two of them tacitly used spells to make themselves invisible and arrived at the door of the common room.

They happened to hear Shandy's grateful voice.

In the end, both Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn agreed to his application to leave school.

Salazar pulled Godric back to the room.

"Things are clear. It turns out it's your new friend. Something happened at home, so he needs to go back." Salazar's nose twitched slightly, then he raised his hand and touched his chin. "Why don't you pretend to be woken up in the middle of the night and ask him."

"Ask him what?" Godric tilted his head and looked at Salazar and asked.

"Ask if they want your help?"

Godric shook his head: "No need." He then explained. "Although we are acquaintances, my relationship with Shandy is not good enough to interfere in his family affairs."

"Is this considered self-aware? My dear Gryffindor?"

Godric just narrowed his eyes and reminded Salazar: "You'd better go to your own lounge as soon as possible. It would be bad if someone finds you not in your bedroom at dawn."

Salazar shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave now, so that I won't be discovered and implicate you again, right?"

Godric didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was sure Salazar was gone.

He planned to go back to his bed and continue sleeping. Before closing his eyes, Godric had a sudden thought in his heart.

"Spohr..." He frowned. "I always feel that if I just let it go, something will happen."

Godric hesitated for a few seconds, and finally fell into the pillow.

"Don't think too much..."

Godric closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

The bedroom became quiet, and outside the window, there was light that flickered on and off, and a pleasant singing voice came faintly.

I wonder if the mermaid is singing.

Godric seemed to be dreaming about something.

He vaguely saw Vivian's face, her mocking expression, and her mouth closing as if she had said something.

Godric read that sentence several times.

"You could have saved him..."

Who to save?

Godric woke up instantly.

"Vivian, what are you warning me?"

Godric turned to look at the still dark wall, separated by the wall was the cold water of the Black Lake.

Vivian is the fairy of the lake. Wherever there is a lake, she can be summoned.

Godric checked the time subconsciously and found that he had been away from Salazar for only ten minutes, but he felt as if he had been asleep for a long time.

"The time is wrong..."

Godric's eyes widened.

"time……"

"Vivian..."
