HP solves the mystery

Harry's relationship with his godfather Sirius blossomed quickly, while Draco, well, he didn't have a godfather.

Although Lucius had said before that he wanted Sev to be the godfather, it was just a joke and he did not take actual action. The main reason was that he did not dare to challenge the authority of the lord.

Draco could only carry the Potions Encyclopedia on his back in frustration while watching Harry happily discuss his godfather with others.

Lucius can't control his son now. He is facing the siege of many nobles and Muggle scholars, all of whom want to get the details of the Lord's inheritance of Slytherin property from him.

How did he know this? The only thing he knew was that when Lord returned, he was standing on the ruins of Gunter's old house. Oh, now Gunter's old house has been protected for a long time, and a house was built on it. A small manor for growing medicinal herbs.

Bella was also present at the time, but she was pregnant now and had long since hid back in the manor.

Lucius secretly grinded his teeth. Why didn't these people go find others to inquire about the situation? But then he thought about it, he was the only one who stayed with Lord for a long time. As the person whom Lord trusted most, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he Become happy.

When Draco came back, he started to take him to the banquet. He touched his chin and made a decision.

Although the lord who inherited the wealth of Hogwarts and Slytherin was not present, in order to celebrate his inheritance of these wealth, banquets were held one after another. The bonuses of Universal and other employees have also doubled several times. Everyone is happy, and the employees can also feel the good mood of their boss through the bonuses.

Tom has been very busy these days.

He traveled back and forth between the Ministry of Magic's Home Affairs Department, where property was managed, Voldemort's Manor, and Hogwarts Castle, because what he wanted to inherit, in addition to some sporadic manors and fields inherited through blood, was Hogg's inheritance through a will. Watts Castle.

The castle has long been regarded as public property by the wizarding world. Even though Dumbledore has been the principal for decades and even made the castle his home, he is not the owner of the castle.

Now, all Tom has to do is change part of the castle's ownership to his name, which requires a series of legal procedures and approval from the Ministry of Magic.

In the process, Tom encountered considerable resistance.

The old diehards of the Wizengamot have held several private meetings, but to no avail; some people believe that Hogwarts Castle should continue to be public property and that he is not entitled to own a magical sacred place like Hogwarts Castle.

Others think that Tom is qualified to inherit the castle. Slytherin's castle does not belong to the descendants of Slytherin. Isn't this like a fish without water? It sounds unreasonable.

Of course, these did not affect Tom. In any case, his inheritance rights were recognized by the Ministry of Magic, and the castle seemed to be aware of the existence of the contract and was very close to the new owner.

Tom and Dumbledore walked side by side in the corridors of Hogwarts. He now had the same rights as the previous headmasters, no, it should be said more rights. He could even feel the sound of snakes crawling in the tunnels. .

Tom's red eyes narrowed. He couldn't think of anyone else who could walk freely in the castle except Haierbo.

When he went back in the evening, he called Herbo. Tom thought that Sif must be tired of staying in the vineyard.

Dumbledore on the side saw that Tom's mood suddenly improved, and he touched the beard on his lips in confusion.

"Tom, my dear boy, please stay and have a meal with the old man." Dumbledore said with a smile, "The students are also very curious about you."

Tom glanced at Dumbledore. Since he cut off his waist-length beard, his hair has turned back to gray, and the wrinkles on his face may be caused by drinking the Glory Potion. He looks like a handsome man.

Well, at least standing with Gellert is no different.

"Yeah." Tom responded lightly. He was in a good mood today, so it wouldn't hurt to stay for a meal.

Dumbledore nodded. Since he can't change Tom's inheritance of the castle, it's better to let nature take its course. He was able to use the prophecy to get people there and take away the invisibility cloak. It's not like he can't use some means to get resurrected again. stone.

"Then go and sit in my office first. You are familiar with the castle anyway." Dumbledore extended the invitation and walked upstairs as he spoke.

Tom didn't know Dumbledore's little thoughts. Even if he knew, he would only say that he was really old and couldn't see the situation clearly. Didn't he see that Gellert didn't even ask him about the Resurrection Stone?

At lunchtime, the castle hall was full of people.

The little wizards all heard that the heir of Slytherin was dining at school today, so they all came to the hall early to occupy a good seat.

Zhang Ya was sitting at the long Ravenclaw table. She thought the man at the teacher's desk looked familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen him before.

"Ya, Lord Slytherin is so handsome." A freckle-faced little witch next to Zhang Ya sighed, and then lowered her head to read the book.

Zhang Ya nodded in agreement. I heard that this Slytherin was over fifty years old, but looking at his young appearance, could it really be because of his powerful magic power?

She frowned and thought about it, wanting to ask the Slytherin how he maintained himself. She also thought about how he was still young at that age.

But before Zhang Ya could figure out the reason, the direction of discussion among the people around him changed.

When she heard people talking about opening legal courses, her whole head was buzzing. There is actually a complete law in the magic world?

God knows she had been studying magic at Hogwarts for several years, but she didn't see a single book on law.

Well, even though the Ministry of Magic has a Legal Enforcement Division, those are too far away.

So, she, Zhang Ya, is legally illiterate?

Zhang Ya was shocked, but the other little wizards started to cry. It was better for the seniors who were about to take the owl exam and didn't have to take this exam.

Those under fifth grade will be in dire straits, as this subject will also occupy an important score in their subjects.

"Damn Merlin, I heard that officials from the Ministry of Magic are here to give us lectures!" The well-informed Hufflepuff couldn't help but curse. You must know that the people who teach Apparition are also magicians. They are strict and old-fashioned. .

"It's okay, I heard that Mr. Weasley is here to give the lecture." Another Hufflepuff stuffed him a pudding and comforted him, "I asked my mother, there are not many law books in the Ministry of Magic."

"Oh, that's good, otherwise my hair will fall out again."

"It doesn't matter, I'm already in sixth grade anyway..."

"roll!"

The little wizard below was noisy, but the professor sitting on the teacher's bench was used to it. Young people should be full of energy. They were concerned about the Slytherin heir who had been silent except for a few polite words at the beginning.

Tom ignored the glances that kept coming over him. He was looking at the students below with interest. Once upon a time, he was one of them, but what he missed was not the poverty and ignorance of that time.

What he was thinking about was how to transform Hogwarts. After all, the first batch of wizard primary school students would be enrolling in the second half of next year.

Tom's thoughts gradually drifted away, returning to the night when he first set foot at Hogwarts. As a young man at the time, he looked forward to learning more magic here and dreamed of becoming a great wizard.

Now he has done it, and although the process is tortuous, the result is indeed what he wanted.

Now, when he saw these young wizards, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. They are so young and innocent, they have not been stained by the world, and they are still full of beautiful fantasies about the future.

Just like Sif, he has good intentions towards everything.

Tom ate some casually, then got up and left the table.

The little wizards below were a little disappointed that the handsome man left, and they all speeded up their meals. They had to go to class in the afternoon!

Tom walked around the castle casually. Although Dumbledore did not follow him, the people in the portraits in the castle were his spies. As long as he wanted to, he could know anything in the castle.

Suddenly, a shadow slipped past Tom's eyes. He looked at the blank portraits on the wall expressionlessly, wondering if he should hang the portraits of his ancestors in the manor here.

Hogwarts Castle is very big, and Tom walked over step by step, sensing Helbo's location.

He walked to the window and saw a green tail diving into the black lake, with stunned fish floating on the surface of the lake.

Without much hesitation, he chanted the spell and arrived at the Black Lake in the next moment.

It was quite a distance from the castle, and students were starting classes, so he wasn't worried about being seen.

"Helbo, come out, let's go back to the manor together in the evening." Tom looked at the calm lake and threw out a few water balloons with the wand in his hand.

Haierbo was chasing a big octopus at the bottom of the lake. When he was interrupted, he popped up and found that it was Tom whom he hadn't seen for several months. His arrogant atmosphere suddenly weakened.

[Hiss, Tom, why are you here? Haierbo asked knowingly. He had already felt the changes in the contract on his body, but he didn't find anyone, so he just pretended that he didn't know about it.

Tom looked up at the huge snake head, frowned and said, "You are too conspicuous when you turn back into a human body."

Haierbo vomited the snake letter and obediently changed his body, casually wrapping himself in a bathrobe-like clothes.

"The magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest have awakened, and I plan to go back tomorrow." Haierbo flipped up his half-wet green hair and explained casually.

Tom didn't say anything. Haierbo was safe no matter where he went, because there were very few people in this world who could really hurt him.

And after finding someone, what he wants to do can be put on the agenda.

"After eating blood orchid, did your body change after your breakthrough?" Tom glanced at him and asked casually.

Haierbo touched his neck and saw that there had been changes. At least the contract he had signed had become less restrictive. As for the rest, he was still exploring...

"Compared to before, my body is full of strength. At least I won't want to sleep for decades anymore." Haierbo was silent for a while, then raised his arm to let Tom see the smooth muscle lines on it.

Tom was silent this time. He felt that he was getting more and more stupid if he wanted to hire a tutor for Haierbo to improve his IQ.

If Nagini and Helbo become stupid after staying for a long time, they may not be able to build enough manors...

Haierbo still didn't know that he was being disliked. He was talking happily about what he had discovered in the Forbidden Forest.

"Unicorns have given birth to the babies you have seen over the years, but after eating blood orchids, I heard that two female unicorns became pregnant..."

Tom's ears twitched, which happened to prove that the direction of the institute was wrong. It seems that only magical creatures can use blood orchids. What a pity...

"It's indeed worth being happy about." Tom nodded in agreement, with a complicated look on his face, "Are there any other changes?"

Haierbo shook his head. Unicorns are the latest batch of magical creatures to wake up, so he can know these changes. As for the centaurs who woke up later, they are still repairing the house.

Tom was a little disappointed, but the research in the laboratory could be suspended.

"Can you go back to the manor with me now? Silver misses you so much." He glanced in the direction of the castle and planned to leave directly with Haierbo.

Haierbo blinked. He actually missed Sif too, but the special circumstances in the Forbidden Forest delayed his return.

"Of course. I told Bain a few days ago that I would go back." He suddenly disappeared, and they naturally knew the reason.

The two of them left the Black Lake one after another without saying any more words.

Dumbledore's eyes flickered behind his half-moon lenses in the tower. Every time he thought he was in control of the situation, something unexpected would happen.

And, is that an Animagus? Why is it so big...and so familiar with Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest...

When Haierbo returned to the manor, he found that he had been deceived. Not only was there no sign of Nagini in the manor, there was no trace of Sif, and the smell left behind had become very weak.

He looked at someone who was leisurely drinking tea and reading documents, and pursed his lips.

"Where did Sif go? You wouldn't make him angry and make him run away from home, would you?" Haierbo snorted, agreeing with his guess.

Tom glanced at him and snapped his fingers for the house elf to arrange dinner.

"How is it possible? Even if you leave, Sev will not leave." Tom handed the last document to the butler and added with a chuckle, "The grapes in the vineyard were ripe before, and they have been playing with it until now."

"Recently, haven't I completely inherited the Slytherin name and family property? There are a lot of people in the manor, so I don't let them come back."

Haierbo made a sound, suddenly realized something, and looked at Tom with wide eyes.

"What did you say? Family property? How much is the family property? Is there a manor that specializes in raising lambs?" He said eagerly, as if he wanted to get proof.

Tom looked at the excited Haierbo and slowly shook his head. Not to mention the manors that specialized in raising lambs, what was left were just a few barren mountains and a few small dilapidated manors, and there were only two old ones left in them. A dying house elf.

He already had human thoughts and understood what sadness meant. Haierbo lowered his head in disappointment.

Thousands of years have passed and things have changed.
