Salazar was still a little confused when he was called out by Professor McGonagall, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Godric was there too.

The two of them followed Professor McGonagall to the principal's office. Although they didn't know what Dumbledore wanted them to do, they were in good spirits.

Then I saw Lily and James.

Godric was very happy to see them, and stepped forward to give Lily a hug, and then asked Lily if she came to school to see him and Salazar, although he could see that the two of them came to Hogwarts not just to see themselves. There might even be something embarrassing going on with Salazar, Lily's face was visibly haggard.

James looked at the two brothers and spoke with some difficulty: "Originally, this summer vacation, Lily and I had discussed letting you brothers live in the Potter's house temporarily. However, something unexpected happened. Lily and I felt that the Potter's house might It’s not suitable to take you in, Lily thought, I have to tell you personally, I’m really sorry, Gust and Cyrus.”

Salazar looked at Lily, who was crying faintly. How could a pregnant witch, a always cheerful person, look so haggard and uneasy? He was secretly worried, walked over to Godric, and touched Godric with his elbow. Gram, motioning him to ask clearly.

Godric just looked at him and shook his head slightly, and then asked with concern how Lily was doing now, whether the baby was making trouble with her, and whether James had taken good care of her.

Lily forced a smile and said, "He is very well-behaved and doesn't make trouble for me. James... also works very hard to take care of me."

Then she added: "Actually, James and I would like to ask you, if possible, stay with the Weasleys for a while during this vacation. Although they have many children, Molly and Arthur are both very good. People, you’re going to love it.”

Dumbledore then said: "Alternatively, you can go to Minerva's house. She told me that if you don't care that her cooking is not as delicious as Molly's, you can stay at her place for a holiday." However, considering Professor McGonagall's status as a professor, as a student, he probably wouldn't be willing to go.

Salazar lowered his eyes, feeling that something was wrong, but Godric didn't seem to have any intention of asking the question, so he had to hold his thoughts for now.

Godric talked to Lily for a long time with a cheerful smile, and also told Lily the interesting things he had done at school these days. Lily looked much better, her smile was no longer forced, her eyes were bright again, and she left. She hugged Godric and Salazar one by one, wishing them a happy day at school.

It wasn't until they were out of sight that Salazar asked, "Why don't you ask what happened?"

Godric stopped smiling and said seriously: "Do you think they will tell us? In their eyes, we are just two children, useless. Besides, Lily is in a bad mood, and our questioning will only increase her burden. , she is still pregnant with the baby and should not be affected emotionally anymore."

So Godric pretended that he didn't notice anything, and instead talked about a lot of light-hearted topics to make Lily feel better.

"But... we don't ask anything?"

"You can think of other ways. If you can help, then help them solve it. If you can't help...then make a better plan."

The two people looked at each other and understood what they should do next, so they simply bumped their fists and went their separate ways.

Finally, Salazar got some news. It was said that the mysterious man was suddenly interested in Mrs. Alice of the Longbottom family. The most important thing was that Mrs. Alice was also pregnant, just like Lily.

Salazar learned the news from a Gryffindor senior, who was Mr. Frank Longbottom’s cousin, named Ralph Longbottom. According to him, although he didn’t know why his brother’s family was killed by a mysterious person. They noticed, but in order to protect their unborn nephew, the Longbottoms chose to stay hidden for the time being.

Ralph looked very depressed and worried about his brother and his family: "Even me and my father don't dare to tell me any news about them, so I don't know where they are hidden now."

Then Salazar asked casually: "Is your nephew born soon?"

Ralph shook his head: "It will take another three months."

Salazar frowned as he thought about something. It seemed that Lily's due date was not much different from that of this lady.

He told Godric the news, and Godric thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand.

"That mysterious man is eyeing Sister Lily and Mrs. Alice's child? Why?" This sounds a bit strange, but when Godric looked at Salazar, he saw a look of determination on his face.

Salazar said: "Intuition, that guy is here for the child."

Godric was very angry: "I don't care if he is intuitive or not, but if he really targets two unborn children, then he deserves to die! Even if this guy has anything to do with you, I will not forgive him. "

Salazar just said: "Do you think I will tolerate this kind of behavior?"

Thousands of years ago, it was difficult for wizards to protect young children. They were immature and unable to control their own powers. Most wizards were hidden in the society of ordinary people. Once the abnormalities of the children around them were discovered, then He will face endless pursuit from the Holy See.

Most of the children did not survive the escape because they were too young and fragile.

It was impossible for wizards to completely separate from the Muggle world in that era of low productivity, and they had to hide their identities in villages and towns.

Salazar's family is no exception. They have lived in a small town for a long time as the owner of a manor. In order to prevent the children from being exposed, Salazar was hidden in the basement by his family since he was a child until he learned to control it. own strength.

But also because of such a depressing environment, wizards take special care of young wizards. As long as the lonely young wizards are discovered by adult wizards, they will provide protection.

Thousands of years ago, it was a consensus that wizards, no matter what their status, would treat young wizards kindly, especially wizards inherited from families. They were keen to take care of young wizards by recruiting disciples, and there were also those who raised them as a family. human.

To put it simply, you can refer to Godric. Not long after he was born, he was raised by the Lake Fairy Vivian. Later, he was discovered by Salazar's father. I don't know how they negotiated it. Anyway, he was taken back to the Slytherin family. Pretty much. It was when I was about ten years old.

Salazar and Godric barely grew up together.

Later, it was found that Godric was suitable for the white wizard, and he was sent to Rowena's father.

At that time, although the black and white wizards had conflicts, the general direction was still the same.

The education that Salazar and Godric received included the obligation and responsibility to protect young wizards.

Although they are not very old either.

The two of them worked together and still managed to catch a lot of information.

The change may have started from the day they appeared in the world. On that day, a drunken witch came to a bar in Hogsmeade Village.

The shopkeeper thought she was drunk, but the witch sat down and said something strange. The owner of the bar didn't think anything was wrong at first, but after she finished speaking, the witch suddenly woke up and didn't even remember how she got here or what she said.

Although the shop owner was surprised, he didn't take it to heart until the witch was suddenly captured by the Death Eaters. It seemed that the mysterious person wanted to know something from her, but it turned out that the witch didn't know anything and was recently captured by the Order of the Phoenix. Rescued, now in St. Mungo's.

The shopkeeper tried his best to remember something before he could remember something.

The general meaning is that the Dark Lord will face destruction because of a child born at the end of July, or born into a family that has always been his enemy, and he will be killed repeatedly.

Originally, if it weren't for the Death Eaters who were arresting people and doing all kinds of things, Dumbledore and the others wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong. Now, Dumbledore and the others not only secretly rescued people, but they were even better than Voldemort. The two most likely children were identified first, and then they were quickly protected.

All the above information was obtained by Godric from James. This man, who was originally happy and ready to be a father, has recently become more anxious than a lion fighting for territory.

Especially after Lily learned the news, she became very uneasy and couldn't sleep all night. If this continues, Lily will collapse if she is not found by the mysterious man.

After being reminded by Dumbledore, James decided to use the Fidelity Charm. He did not want to hide around with Lily anymore. Returning to the house in Gryffindor Valley, the familiar environment might be able to soothe Lily's emotions.

But regarding the secret keeper, James and the others had a little disagreement.

Dumbledore was willing to let himself be the secret keeper, but James didn't want to disturb Dumbledore.

Facing Godric, James told the truth: "Dumbledore is very important. He is everyone's hope. Of course, he is very powerful. If the secret keeper is Dumbledore, Lily and I will feel at ease." However, I can't imagine that my child may become an opportunity to destroy the mysterious man. I'm not sure, but if the mysterious man really wants to be obsessed with my and Lily's child, it will drag down Dumbledore. He is already enough. Very busy."

James even decided to quit his job. He planned to stay by his wife's side. Fortunately, the Potter family had some assets, so even if he didn't work, there would be no problem.

But he needs to decide who he can trust to provide assistance to him and his wife, not just a secret keeper.

"Lily and I went back, and she seemed to be in a better mood."

Although Godric didn't ask who was the secret keeper, James still looked complicated. He said: "Actually, I didn't agree with it at first, but I later figured it out. In this world, except for me, there is probably no one like me. He hopes for Lily's safety so much. He may hate me, but he will never hurt Lily."

James' eyes were confused, but extremely determined: "No one would have thought that it was him. Even Dumbledore was shocked when he found out. He couldn't believe this candidate, so it would be even more impossible for others."

After saying this, he said with some embarrassment: "I didn't even tell Sirius. Only me, Lily and Dumbledore know about this secret keeper."

After handing Godric the dessert made by Lily and asking them to take care of themselves, James left in a hurry.

Godric could see that James was uneasy, but as a husband, he had to support him, because Lily now needed to draw courage from his skills.
