Sylvia got a reply the next morning.

"Sylvia, I want to tell you something unexpected. I know Rick Gran. I went to Wales when the goblins rebelled more than ten years ago. He was the commander at that time. I don't know how he is. Too clear, but the ability is really good. There is an urgent matter: your mother was unwell last night, and there is still no sign of getting better. I hope you can come back to accompany her now. Don't tell Mr. Gran your real name and the date of pregnancy Things, we'll see him in person when she's better. She's not well, come straight to Hogwarts."

Sylvia put away the letter, dropped the half-eaten breakfast, and triggered the door key to go home.

She landed at the gates of Hogwarts.Most of the students had already started their classes, and there were only a few people in the empty hall.Sylvia ran all the way into her mother's room holding her skirt.

Hufflepuff stood at the window tending a pot of white flowers.

"Sylvia?" Hufflepuff asked in surprise, "Are you back?"

"Mom?" Sylvia looked at the apparently normal Hufflepuff, and a painful suspicion arose in her heart, "What kind of flower is this? It looks like a marigold, but it's white", she switched topic.

"This is a marigold. I think it's very interesting that there are white ones in the Slytherin manor." Hufflepuff poured water on the potted flower and looked at his daughter carefully.

"Yesterday I wrote a letter saying that I would come back. Mom doesn't know?"

"No, I don't know. What tricks you two are playing."

"I'll ask Dad, but he didn't tell you."

Sylvia ran to Slytherin's office even faster than before.She was anxious to know whether the suspicion was true.

Slytherin was alone in the office.

("Dad, did you trick me back here?") Sylvia cast a few silencing spells and asked loudly.

("I had to, Sylvia, because I didn't know how dangerous you were in Scotland until yesterday.") Slytherin looked at her and replied.

("Dangerous?") Sylvia looked at him in bewilderment.

("Rick Gran, most likely someone from the Holy See.")

("No, I don't believe it, Dad, I don't believe it. He's a very cheerful, nice guy.")

("I won't hurt you, Sylvia.")

("Dad, you just lied to me.") Sylvia stands still and retorts.

("I wrote that I knew Rick Grande during the Welsh Goblin Rebellion. That's true. That's when the Ministry of Magic thought he had problems. The Goblin Rebellion happened just in time for your mother and Rowena was pregnant, and it was two weeks before the end of the term. Instead of rushing there at that time, I stayed at Hogwarts and did not arrive in Wales until the holidays began. After another three and a half weeks, the whole rebellion was under control. I I can’t show you too detailed information now, those are still being kept secret. However, this statistics of casualties can also explain the problem.”) Slytherin turned out a document and handed it to Sylvia, while she looked at it At the same time, he began to explain, ("First of all, looking at the total number of people, a total of 120 Aurors were killed in five and a half weeks, 12 were injured, and 180 of them were seriously injured. However,") he pointed to a row of the table, ( "In the first week, there were 68 deaths, 110 serious injuries, 49 minor injuries, and 120 deaths in the second week, 32 serious injuries, [-] minor injuries"), he looked at Sylvia, and said, ("You don't think it's strange Is it? Almost all the deaths and serious injuries were in the first two weeks. There were also casualties in the third week, most of which were minor injuries. Another point is that he was the commander of this counter-insurgency.”)

("You mean, he is a member of the Holy See, taking advantage of the goblin's rebellion to consume us.") Sylvia was already a little shaken.

Slytherin breathed a sigh of relief, and went on to say, ("After that time, the Ministry of Magic's Security Department also raised doubts about him to me, so I decided to use that rebellion victory to promote him to the Ministry of Magic, That way they could find the problem quicker. But he didn't accept the appointment and went back to Scotland as an inspector. Since then there have been clues, but there has never been conclusive evidence. The security department can be sure that there is a problem with him, and the operation is just A matter of time.")

("Dad, what can I do, I...") Sylvia dropped the parchment she had read halfway in panic, and cried in Slytherin's arms, ("I'm still pregnant, he Also know that I'm pregnant, what can I do.")

("Let's not have a baby,") Slytherin helped her sit on the couch on the right, ("It's going to be hard in the future.") Sylvia didn't reply, falling from happiness to "truth" The coldness made her both scared and painful, ("Dad, I thought he really liked me"), she said with a crying voice, ("What can I do. He said he would marry me")

("He won't marry you!") Slytherin finally let go, and the confusion he had suppressed all night finally made him lose his composure when he heard Sylvia's last words.

("Daddy.") Sylvia was startled by the sudden raising of his voice.

("He probably knows who you are, Sylvia, he's just using you.") Slytherin leans Sylvia on his shoulder to avoid eye contact with her, in a "distressed father" said intonation.

("Daddy"), Sylvia said calmly after a moment of tears, ("I want to have a baby.")

("What? Why? It's going to be troublesome and bad for you, Sylvia.")

("But it's my baby"), Sylvia sat up straight and looked at him, ("I'm not going back, but, boy, I want to. I've decided.")

Looking at Sylvia's face, the Slytherins knew she had made her final decision. ("Then the child is bastard, Sylvia, and for family reasons I can't even allow him to take the Slytherin name.") He still wanted to see if he could change Sylvia's mind.

("I can handle this"), Sylvia replied.

("What are you going to do?") the Slytherin asked.

("Norman Gunter.") Sylvia smirks and names her current "legal" fiancé.

When Rick Gran came home, there was still half of the breakfast on the table, but no one was there.

He looked around in surprise.

Serena disappeared again.

two months later, scotland

"Did you know? The Duke of Slytherin's daughter is getting married!" the tall, thin man shouted in the tavern.

The brother and sister who had taken over the mother's restaurant also stopped their work and listened to the "latest news" he brought.

"Miss Slytherin is marrying a Gaunt man! Married next week!" He added a booming voice to himself, and continued, "Do you know why there was only three months between the wedding and the engagement?" Satisfied to see that everyone in the small restaurant was watching him, including the unlucky inspector Rick Gran who lost his girlfriend two months ago was also watching him.The Inspector has always been very concerned about the news about the Slytherin family, a thought crossed his mind.

"She's pregnant! The boy of the Gaunt family! It's been two months!" He shouted out this big news with all his strength, and watched the people below chattering with satisfaction.
