Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Cyrus returned to Slytherin Mansion, and Salazar was waiting for her on the sofa in the hall. "Father, are you done with your research?" Salazar nodded, "Yes."

Cyrus sat next to him, "Father, I will go back to Hogwarts soon. This year I will go to the Chamber of Secrets to bring back Helbo."

Herbo is the name of the basilisk that Salazar left in the Chamber of Secrets. "I named the basilisk you gave me Venomous Fang, but there's just no place to use it."

Salazar remained silent and said, "Father, is your research unsuccessful?"

"No, it was very successful."

Cyrus was a little confused, "Then what's wrong with you?" Salazar touched his forehead with his slender fingers, "You haven't stayed in the Slytherin mansion for a long time, and you're running around with that white-haired guy again."

Cyrus smiled awkwardly, "Well, Gellert is teaching me how to use Fierce Fire, and I am also practicing the spells you taught me, father. Now I can easily use Water Curtain."

"Do you like life at Hogwarts?"

"It's okay. I feel like I'll be more relaxed at school. On the contrary, I still have all kinds of things to do during the holidays. Father, you are too withdrawn and you know how to get into your own research laboratory and never come out."

"Got it." Then Salazar entered the research room without looking back.

Cyrus came to Diagon Alley early. She needed to buy some books for the new semester. She still used transformation to disguise herself and walked into a shop in Knockturn Alley. The owner of the Bojin Bok store was not very enthusiastic when he saw that the visitor was a strange young man.

"Hello Mr. Borgin, I heard you have some good things here." The young man leaned on the counter and looked at the various dark magic objects piled behind Borgin.

"What do you want, young man?"

"Vanishing Cabinet."

Cyrus pointed to the dusty cabinet in the corner with his chin. When Bojin saw the visitor, his intention was clear: "This is a perfectly crafted alchemy object. There are only two of them in the world."

Cyrus was not interested in hearing Bo Jin raise the price like this. "The disappearing cabinet that exists at the same time is valuable, and you can tell at a glance that the one you have here is damaged. 10 gold galleons, that's a lot."

Bogin wanted to continue raising the price, but Sellers turned around and left. This disappearing cabinet has been stored here for many years. Bo Jin was unable to repair it and could not find another disappearing cabinet. "Okay, take it away!"

Cyrus deposited the ring into the disappearing cabinet, put down the money, and wandered around the store again. Stopping in front of a huge iron maiden, he saw a pair of emerald green eyes inside. When Borgin wasn't paying attention, Cyrus opened the cupboard and quickly took Harry out of the shop.

"I think this is not a place for a young wizard. Let's go." Harry was still confused, thinking that Weasley and others were still looking for him, so he left.

Cyrus then saw Lucius walking this way with Draco. Recently, the Ministry of Magic conducted a random inspection and found that the former Death Eater had many dark magic items in his home. Now I have no choice but to take it to Bo Jin to get rid of it.

Cyrus still looked like a man and did not greet the two of them. I turned around and walked back to Diagon Alley. The main purpose of coming to Borgin's store was to buy the disappearing cabinet. Then he came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. If it weren't for the purpose of taking away the black notebook that Lucius slipped into Ginny's hands, Cyrus would not have been willing to come here.

Gilderoy Lockhart held his book launch here, like a peacock showing off his beautiful feathers to people. Lockhart himself is very weak, but he is good at the Oblivion Curse. He travels around to inquire or go on adventures with others. After getting the precious adventure story or experience, cast the forgetting spell on the other party. In this way, other people's thrilling adventure stories become your own.

This year he also applied for the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. If he knew that the position he cherished was taken by a peacock, he would probably be furious.

However, since Voldemort failed to apply for Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he has put a curse on this profession. Every professor term will be more or less dangerous. Cyrus was leaning on the bookshelf in the corner. Despite this, many eyes were looking at him. Fortunately, Lockhart showed up, and there were all his fans here. When he appeared, Cyrus's gaze dropped a lot.

Soon, the protagonist appears. Lucius and Arthur were quarreling, and it seemed that because the Weasley family had recently been favored by Slytherin, they didn't dare to be too public. Cyrus' eyes were fixed on the black notebook in Lucius' hand, which was Tom Riddle's diary, Voldemort's first Horcrux when he was young.

What serious person keeps a diary? You can really see the true nature of Voldemort from a young age. Lucius left angrily, and Arthur took his little daughter to leave. At this moment, Ginny accidentally stepped on a book that had fallen on the ground, slipped and fell backwards.

Slender hands wrapped around Ginny's waist, and a handsome young man gently helped Ginny up, then picked up the books that fell from her cauldron and returned them to her. "Be careful, are you okay, miss?"

Ginny looked at the young man in front of her, with snow-white skin and a tall nose. There was an intoxicating smile on her thin and red lips, gentle and elegant. Those eyes seem to contain millions of stars, making people fall deeply into them.

Ginny's face turned red when she faced Cyrus, "No...it's okay, thank you, sir." Cyrus smiled at her and left. Only Ginny's eyes remained on her until she was silhouetted. Leave.

Cyrus confirmed that what was in Ginny's crucible was indeed Tom Riddle's diary, but she did not take it away. Eyewitnesses are often needed to reveal the truth, right?

When we arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, it turned out that Hagrid was also there. It seemed that he loved coming to this place. Hagrid also saw the person coming and greeted Cyrus warmly. Cyrus sat with Hagrid unusually. He had no one to accompany him and had to have many people to chat with him.

"Hello, we've met before. I remember your name is Hagrid. Nice to meet you. Call me Sean." Cyrus ordered two glasses of fire whiskey. This small glass of wine was not enough for Hagrid's size. He soothes his throat. "Hello Sean, would you like to drink here too?" Hagrid ordered two more large barrels of beer, which can really be described as barrels.

"I just like drinking. I'm not familiar with the UK when I first came. I only know the bars here." Hagrid picked up the beer bucket and drank heavily. "Haha, there are several bars in Hogsmeade that are also very good. Another day I'll take you there."

Cyrus also imitated Hagrid's example, holding up the barrel with both hands and drinking heavily. It was not as spicy as whiskey, but had a sweet aftertaste. It’s just that the degree is a bit low and it’s too filling. After drinking for a while, Cyrus felt that his stomach was full, and Hagrid was also burping beside him.

As the most secretive person in Hogwarts, Hagrid told Cyrus many of his stories and secrets under the guidance of alcohol. Cyrus guided him and gained a clearer understanding of the accident fifty years ago.

Back then, Tom Riddle, also known as Voldemort, found the secret room left by Salazar, and also found the left behind Halbo from the secret room. He tempted Halbo to kill a student, and then framed the blame on Hagrid, who was raising Aragog at the time. Hagrid did not go to Azkaban under Dumbledore's protection, but his wand was broken and he dropped out of school.

From then on, he worked as a keykeeper at Hogwarts and guarded the Forbidden Forest. At that time, Voldemort was awarded the school's greatest contribution award for exposing Hagrid. I have to say that when you are too kind and have no IQ, you will always be taken advantage of by people with ill intentions.

After Cyrus got the news he wanted, he chatted with Hagrid all the time. I have to say that Hagrid was quite interesting. The two of them gradually drank too much, and Hagrid insisted on dragging Cyrus to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade to taste butterbeer.

Cyrus hesitated for a while and then agreed. After drinking, he went back to Hogwarts in time, and there was no need to take the train the next day. "Boss, four more bottles of butterbeer." Hagrid greeted the boss. Cyrus looked helpless. The giant's drinking capacity must be too strong. I drank so many other beers and whiskeys before, but I can still drink them now.

In the early morning, Snape was brewing a potion in the cellar when there was a heavy knock on the door. He frowned, school started tomorrow, why would someone bother him now? He opened the door with a gloomy expression, and was shocked to see a giant standing staggering in front of his door, with a man on his back.

The two were still joking: "Hahaha Sean, you are right, indeed Professor Snape is not asleep yet." The man on the back patted him and motioned to put him down, "Yeah, I'll just say Sev Les worked the hardest." The tall giant put the young man down easily.

"Severus, I'm here to see you!"

The young man hugged Snape, and Hagrid was also confused and hahaha "Professor Snape, Sean is drunk, and he didn't say where his home is. He said he wanted to come to you, so I will Bring him here." Then Hagrid staggered away.

Snape's face was now so black that he could drip ink, and there were people hanging on his body like mud. He dragged the person with him into the office, threw him on the sofa, and prepared to brew a hangover.

A female voice came, "Thank you, sir, it's okay. I was just pretending."

Cyrus regained his appearance, completely different from the drunken look he had just now, but the smell of alcohol and his red face remained unchanged.

"Is Miss Slytherin kidding me?!"

Cyrus stood up, "Sorry sir, I need to go back to Hogwarts early to do some things." Snape approached Cyrus, a little angry: "I hope Miss Slytherin will stop teasing herself in such a stupid way. Professor, what are you doing here?"

"I hope sir, no matter what happens in the future, you will trust me. Even if it is only for this year."

Snape was very angry at Cyrus's inconsistent words, but he also knew that as long as the girl didn't want to, he wouldn't get any explanation. Turn around angrily,

"go out!"

Cyrus walked in the deserted castle corridor and came to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. I silently said "I need a place to hide things" and walked back and forth three times, and the wall gradually revealed a giant door.

After entering, the room was filled with various abandoned furniture and tutorials piled everywhere. After searching for a long time, Cyrus finally found another disappearing cabinet stored in Hogwarts. She also saw the Ravenclaw crown placed on top of the miscellaneous items. Another reason why Cyrus did not take away the notebook was that she was not sure whether Horcruxes would attract each other, and there were too many hidden dangers in placing them on her body. I was going to wait for the matter in the secret room to be settled before I came back to get the crown.

Since Salazar still has a way to enter a deep sleep and wake up again, are the other three of the Big Four also sleeping somewhere? Salazar is too lonely.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, she took out the disappearing cabinet she purchased and studied it. Her alchemy skills have improved greatly after learning from Salazar, but it is still difficult to completely repair the Vanishing Cabinet.

I originally thought about repairing the disappearing cabinet and giving it to Salazar as a gift, so that he could come to Hogwarts and have a look. Because Salazar needs to rely on huge magic power to stay awake, although he can maintain this state at Hogwarts, he will fall asleep again due to lack of magic power on the way to Hogwarts.

Cyrus was unsure whether Salazar would be able to wake up if he fell asleep again, so he came up with the idea of ​​using the Vanishing Cabinet to create a passage between Hogwarts and Slytherin House.

Alchemy... Apart from Nico Flamel and Dumbledore, the only people with superb alchemy skills nowadays are Dumbledore. However, according to memory, the over 600-year-old alchemist master and his wife both passed away last year. Asking Dumbledore for help will inevitably lead to his suspicion, so let's leave it to Salazar...

With a snap of his fingers, Kull appeared. "Master, what are your orders?" Cyrus was very satisfied to see Kull wearing an exquisite butler uniform. She did not have Hermione's idea of ​​liberating all house elves. It's just that she feels that she should be more decent towards her own elf.

After going through a lot of trouble and ordering them to accept the salary she provided every month, she asked the house elves to use the wages they received to buy suitable clothes for themselves. Although this was considered a way to terminate the contract with the house elves, none of the Slytherin elves were willing to leave.

They have protected Slytherin for generations. In Salazar's time, people were not as bad to house elves as they are now. This also helped Cyrus gradually change their minds to a large extent. Since the elves were loyal to Slytherin, Slytherin would not let them suffer injustice.

"You dress very tastefully, Kull. Help me send this disappearing cabinet to my father, and tell him that he can come to Hogwarts through the disappearing cabinet in the future. I will put the disappearing cabinet here in the secret room he created."

Kuhl was hesitant instead, not daring to look into Cyrus's eyes. "What's wrong, Kull, has something happened to father?" Cyrus thought Salazar had locked him in the research room again so that no one would disturb him.

"Master...Kuer can't say...it's Master Salazar's order..."

Cyrus had a bad premonition, "It's okay, as far as I'm concerned, you just need to nod or shake your head. This does not count as disobeying the master's order." Kull nodded, "Is Salazar's life in danger? "Kul nodded, then shook his head.

Cyrus' tone became solemn, "Does that mean you don't know either? Salazar isn't in the mansion?" Kull nodded frantically and shed tears.

"Salazar is out?! It's not like he can't go out."

Cyrus was also a little anxious. She squatted in front of Kull, "Kul, this is about Salazar's safety. Look into my eyes and think about all the memories of Salazar before he went out. Don't resist. ." Kull nodded and clasped his hands. Legilimency!

"Master, do you want to go out? But you..." "It's okay, I'm going to see my old friend. Don't tell Cyrus, this is an order."

Cyrus rubbed her eyes. Salazar didn't tell her how old he was when he went out. Is he going to see his old friends...are they Gryffindor and others? Are they really still alive? It seems that Salazar's previous research was on how to leave the mansion without being affected by magic, and he still didn't tell himself.

"Thank you Kull, Salazar is fine. You also tell the elves at home not to worry, he will definitely go back after visiting his friends. Then help me send the disappearing cabinet to the cover of Durmstrang. Let's just say I hope he can help me fix it. Just take a few days off and wait until he comes back."

Cyrus sent Kuhl away, his head hurting a little. Salazar's depressed look before did not look like he was visiting a friend at all. Maybe he was not sure whether his friend was still alive. When I woke up again after sleeping for a thousand years, I found that everything familiar around me had changed, and my only remaining friends might have left forever...

Cyrus, the descendant of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, has no clue at all, but there are indeed descendants of Ravenclaw in Hogwarts Castle.

Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. Desiring to be as wise as her mother, she stole Ravenclaw's crown and hid it in the Romanian forest. Later, he had a dispute with the pursuing suitor Bloody Barrow, and was accidentally stabbed to death by Bloody Barrow. Bloody Barrow committed suicide due to grief. Both became ghosts in Hogwarts. Maybe he should go meet Helena.
