Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

"Hahaha——" The hearty laughter echoed in Rowena's garden, and the corners of Rowena's mouth couldn't help but rise.

"This is so interesting! No wonder Salazar didn't want to tell us the details!" After feeling like he had laughed all the laughs in his life, Godric finally stopped laughing and complained to Rowena about Salazar's experience.

What a thing!

The man was lying in the coffin and the pot came from the sky.

Who could have imagined that someone could do such a thing as pretending to be an heir?

Godric asked himself, if he encountered such a thing, there would be nothing he could do, after all, he would have been buried by then! It can only be said that Salazar's luck was too bad.

Eh? Could it be that Salazar had done too many bad things that led to him meeting this kind of person? Godric couldn't help but think of this.

If Les knew that Godric had such thoughts, he would definitely stuff the Resurrection Stone Ring into the toilet and flush it into the Black Lake.

What the hell, what does it mean to do too many bad things? Rowena should have done as many bad things as me... maybe?

"So you see, having an 'heir' is not necessarily a good thing. Think carefully about the legacy you have left for Gryffindor House, and think about what would happen if you had an heir?"

Godric thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Hogwarts is full of little wizards who love to play pranks?"

"It's possible, but there's also the possibility that Hogwarts will become a war machine." Rowena sighed and said slowly.

"Not really..." Godric showed an awkward smile on his face: "I feel that the atmosphere of Gryffindor House is still very positive."

"Do you think Salazar could have anticipated what Slytherin House would become before he fell into slumber?"

Rowena's question silenced Gryffindor for a moment.

After a moment, they both sighed.

Although what happened to Salazar sounds funny at first, when you think about it carefully, Rowena and Godric still feel a sense of empathy.

No one wants to encounter this kind of thing.

Salazar's Slytherin House became the base camp of pure-blood supremacism and a hotbed of dark wizards. Could the three of them be spared? Perhaps a thousand years later, Ravenclaw's pursuit of wisdom has turned into a belief in treacherous schemes, Gryffindor's yearning for bravery and courage has turned into an obsession with war, and Hufflepuff's kindness and tolerance have become increasingly paranoid and crazy...

These are all possible.

"Go back and comfort Salazar. He must be feeling bad after encountering this kind of thing."

Rowena blinked. "I'm here to comfort Salazar? Stop it."

And does that guy Salazar need comfort? Rowena thought he was enjoying it, pretending to be a student and going to school with other little wizards every day. She didn't know what he was trying to achieve.

In Rowena's eyes, Salazar was wasting his time and his life. If she were Salazar, she would definitely find a place to hide and do all kinds of novel experiments - whether to wake up old friends depends on how the experiment progresses, because Rowena knows very well that old friends will definitely interfere with the progress of her experiments when they wake up.

Godric's thoughts were erratic. After giving Rowena his instructions, his mind could not help but drift to the topic of the heir.

Salazar, Helga, and Rowena all found their ideal students, which made Godric a little tempted: he also wanted to find a silly little wizard like his friends, and then teach him or her his magical knowledge.

Watching a little guy who can only wave a wand foolishly grow up to be a powerful wizard who can stand on his own is an intoxicating sense of accomplishment.

But speaking of heirs...

"Can't we really let that Dumbledore kid participate? He's also a Gryffindor, and I think he can be my heir." Godric even had his eyes on Dumbledore.

He felt that Dumbledore was someone he could truly call his successor.

Rowena:…

"No. Put away your outrageous idea." Rowena told Godric to stop and not to be naughty - in terms of actual age, Dumbledore was much older than him.

"Also, the full name of the tournament is 'World Youth Wizarding Championship'. Who has a young man over a hundred years old? He is not an immortal. Having Salazar participating in the competition is already damaging the environment, and will Dumbledore allow other schools to participate? Even if Hogwarts is the organizer of the competition, it cannot do such shady things." Rowena couldn't help her desire to complain, and kept complaining about Godric's weird ideas.

"If you want an heir, just come out of the ring, choose one yourself, and train one yourself. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Although Dumbledore possesses the Fire Domain, he is definitely not your heir!" Having said this, Rowena paused and said that if Godric wanted, she would be willing to help him think of a way to see if she could make a body for him.

"I feel like you can still be saved..." Rowena said.

Godric's eyes widened: So he's not dead yet?

However, in response to Rowena's "invitation", Godric refused after thinking carefully for a while.

"I feel like I've been wandering around all my life. I just want to rest for a while." Godric confided his inner thoughts: "I don't feel a strong desire to return."

"I see..." Rowena nodded. Since Godric had no idea, she would not force him.

"Besides," Godric complained, "After I'm resurrected, I'll definitely be forced to do hard labor by you, right? I heard Helga is under a lot of pressure at work right now? She often forces Salazar to work for her?"

"No, no." Rowena responded, but she was secretly surprised in her heart: I can't just drop by Helga's office anymore in the future. It would be bad if she asked me to help her with work.

"The matter of the heir..." Godric narrowed his eyes. "You seemed to have said that Salazar has chosen the descendants of the Greengrass family as his students? Why is he always targeting that family?"

"Well, he brought his student to me before. It was a little girl named Daphne. Later, her sister Astoria also became his student."

Godric raised his eyebrows: Salazar's standards for accepting disciples are truly unchanged over thousands of years.

However, when Greengrass is mentioned, a person comes to mind in Gryffindor's mind.

Gryffindor felt a vague intuition in his heart.

"I feel like I don't really need to train an heir directly, because anyone who inherits the [Gryffindor Will] and is recognized by the Sword of Gryffindor is my heir!" Driven by his intuition, Godric said confidently.

Rowena:…

Is this Godric's intuition as the strongest duelist? It's so terrifying. He knows nothing, but it's like he knows everything.

As someone who had direct contact with Daphne, Rowena knew the child's background very well, so...

Rowena silently sympathized with Salazar in her heart.

"Well, it's been nice chatting with you, and then - well, actually I don't want to see you in this way again. The stone on this ring is not a good thing." Godric felt that there was nothing more to talk about with Rowena, so he resolutely turned into a stream of heat and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Rowena was thoughtful as she watched Godric disintegrate and disappear.

"Well, that's interesting..."

Then she turned the Resurrection Stone in her hand three times again. The next second, Godric appeared in the same place.

Godric:?

He turned to Rowena, his hands spread out, confusion and bewilderment written all over his face.

"It's okay, you can leave now." Rowena said calmly.

Godric: ???

Not knowing what was going on, he once again turned into a ball of heat and disappeared.

After the heat completely dissipated, Rowena turned the Resurrection Stone in her hand without hesitation.

Then Godric reappeared in the same place.

Godric: ...

After he dissipated on his own initiative, although he could not feel the passage of time, his intuition told him that the time difference between his last summoning and the last summoning before that was definitely no more than one minute.

"Rowena Ravenclaw!!!" Godric shouted Rowena's full name with a stern face: "Don't play with the souls of the dead!!!"

"You're nothing but a dead man." Rowena rolled her eyes at Godric.

Rowena wasn't doing this to tease Godric - at least her main purpose wasn't to tease him, she was doing a serious experiment.

She is studying the mechanics of the Resurrection Stone.

A stone that can "resurrect" the dead is definitely worth studying. Rowena couldn't let it go, but it would be hard for Godric who was bound to the Resurrection Stone.

"Um... can you perform that again? The process of disappearing on the spot." Rowena looked at Godric, hoping that he could continue to provide her with experimental data.

Godric also understood what she was doing, and after his expression changed for a while, he finally chose to go along with Rowena's wishes.

It was just an experiment, he was very familiar with it. When they were still traveling together, Salazar and Rowena often invited him to participate in the experiments, and he was used to it.

After watching the entire process of Godric disappearing, Rowena narrowed her eyes.

This time she did not "summon" Godric again, but turned her head to look at the grove beside her.

"Teacher, are you enjoying it?"

A voice sounded from deep in the woods.

[Little Rowena, your perception is still as sharp as ever. It looks like you have obtained a very interesting gadget.]

"It's just a trick." Rowena's tone was very calm: "This thing really has strong malice towards the user."

In Rowena's opinion, the Resurrection Stone Ring could be completely classified as a black magic item. It contained a strong malice and existed simply to urge the user to commit suicide.

If an ordinary wizard becomes addicted to the resurrection stone ring, the final outcome will definitely be suicide - provided that Godric has not yet possessed the stone.

She has seen that the resurrection stone ring summons not the real soul of the dead, or not entirely the soul of the dead, but an illusion created by the user's memory of the dead. But this illusion is not so pure, it is mixed with the "private goods" of the resurrection stone, which will induce the user to commit suicide.

How to say it, the magic used in it is too advanced to be like the products of their time, but it is not as mysterious as the legends say.

However, Godric's situation is very special and is not within the scope of discussion. He became an unconscious particle floating in the world. The Resurrection Stone condensed his illusion based on the impression of Godric in its mind and summoned this group of unconscious particles, so that Godric was really "resurrected".

After dissipating, the particles belonging to Godric combined with the Resurrection Stone, causing the next person to be summoned regardless of whether Godric existed in their memory or not.

As for what is talking to me now, that is what the Resurrection Stone really created.

[How are you guys? ]

“We’ve had some ups and downs, but overall it’s been OK.”

【I can rest assured that. 】

There was no more sound in the woods, and it was obvious that the phantom had dissipated.

Rowena couldn't help but feel a little dazed: So the teacher is an illusion condensed by the Resurrection Stone, or is he the same existence as Godric?

Then she suppressed this thought and refrained from thinking about it, because she was sure that when they met the teacher, the teacher had died, leaving only a phantom, giving them some legacy.

"What a horrible alchemical creation. I wonder what the three Peverell brothers wanted to achieve by making something like this." Rowena sighed as she put the resurrection stone ring into her pocket.

Then, life at Hogwarts returned to peace.

However, it cannot be said to be peaceful, because beneath the surface of peaceful life, there is a turbulent undercurrent. Students are looking forward to the arrival of October, and professors are also getting nervous.

Hogwarts Castle had a big clean-up. The entire castle was cleaned up, even the outer walls were scrubbed, and the moss in the corners was cleaned up. The dirty paintings and armor that had been unattended for years were also polished to a shine, so as not to make Hogwarts look bad in the eyes of visitors from other schools.

Some changes had quietly taken place outside the castle. A large area at the edge of the forbidden forest had been flattened and fenced off, preventing anyone from seeing what was going on inside. It was obviously being used as the venue for the upcoming tournament.

To the confusion of the students, the Quidditch pitch was retained, which was odd, as the Quidditch pitch was clearly a more suitable venue for the games.

The thirteen selected contestants bid farewell to the weekend. The professors took every opportunity to tutor them and instilled a lot of knowledge in them. Spells, potions, transfiguration, herbology... all in order to accelerate their growth as much as possible.

Professor White and Professor Arius also became reclusive. Apart from attending classes, students could hardly see them in the castle and had no idea what they were doing.

At the end of September, the tranquility of Hogwarts was finally broken: other magic schools were coming.
