the lost castle

"Please follow the footsteps of fate, even if you don't obey, you will be brought back by history anyway"

The ice cream and dessert shop in Diagon Alley became famous overnight, and it was on the front page of the Daily Prophet. The report on the interview was like this: "Witnessed the historic meeting of the four founders of Hogwarts. What do you think of that shop?" The boss answered honestly, "There is a spell, but I can't hear it. I huddled under the counter and didn't dare to look at it." We are all envious and admire your guts." Then the owner of the dessert shop who was illuminated by flashlights asked a quote that was considered a classic by the magic world:

"Those four are standing in front of you, no matter what they want, do you dare to sell them?"

The reason why I still remember to collect money is because people threw gold coins on the table.

Compared with the other photo of Ollivander on the front page, it is much more normal, waving his arms and talking about the glorious history of his family, without giving the reporter of the Daily Prophet a chance to speak, in fact Everyone was very curious, because everyone had a strange experience shopping from this wand shop, and Salazar.Slytherin's wand actually came from this shop (although it took 1000 years), but who doesn't want to know the material and core of the wand?As a result, the old man Ollivander finally snorted, "There is a contract, I can't say it", Merlin!This old man has aroused public outrage!

So the big news on the headlines is much more exciting than the two photos below.

"The story of the founder of Hogwarts and Gringotts?!"

The title is big and eye-catching, and it is accompanied by a photo of a goblin bleeding from the forehead, with extremely innocent eyes.

The process of the matter is very simple. Since countless wizards flocked to Gringotts to ask for their deposits in the vault, the goblins were very dissatisfied, but it was not easy to directly and rudely reject the wizards, so they sent someone to find them. Negotiations by the Ministry of Magic, while slowing down the speed of withdrawals and cumbersome procedures, caused a long queue in front of the gate of Gringotts. Some grumpy wizards made noise because of this, and Gringotts had to send several goblins again Go to the gate to maintain order.

The queue was so long that it had already occupied half of the street, approaching directly in front of the public fireplace.

According to eyewitnesses, everything was sudden, as if a surprised and angry shout was heard:

"Fairy? Merlin, even the elves followed after 1000 years?"

Behind was the light of the spell that no one could see clearly. Several Gringotts goblins fell straight out and lay on the ground covered in blood. The shattered glass and the screaming of the crowd made the scene even more chaotic. After that, many wizards said that they came all the way from Ollivander's wand shop and witnessed everything, so after knowing the identity of the cause of the chaos, more wizards fainted directly, and the goblins screamed and shouted It made the Ministry of Magic who came after him even want to see Merlin.

Curious and outrageous speculations are densely packed on the page.

"Tsk!"

Godric reached out and threw the front page of the Daily Prophet into the fireplace.

"These goblins are far worse than their ancestors!"

"... Godric, by the way, where is your sword?"

A certain lion scratched his hair and said with a dry smile:

"Hehe, when I came here, there seemed to be some noise in that dark crack in the space. I seemed to see Hogwarts in a daze. I wanted to go out out of excitement, but I couldn't move, but the sword was lost... I don't think it's a big deal, anyway, that Potter said, the sword of Gryffindor will be in Hogwarts after a thousand years, isn't it?"

Helga, who was scooping up pudding, and Rowena, who was stirring salad, stopped at the same time, and then continued to pretend that they hadn't heard anything, and ate breakfast slowly. They were calm, but the Malfoy family sitting at the other end of the long table had strange expressions.

What kind of world is this? Obviously they just wanted to show kindness to the Duke of Slytherin and let the lion follow him, but in the end, their manor turned out to be a place where the four giants gathered——

"Uh, speaking of the dark crack in the space on the way here, a strange thing happened on the way Rowena and I came. Rowena?"

The latter was looking at Salazar suspiciously, wouldn't he be hungry after eating a little corn soup all day?He came back to his senses after being called by Helga, put down the spoon, and thought about it carefully before speaking:

"We didn't use that black diamond, you know, after all, you and Salazar have been here before, if the law of time excludes it, if Helga and I come here, we may turn around and go to Merlin's castle, so the magic circle is fixed. It wasn't clear, there was a lot of smoke and Hogwarts was burning right in front of our eyes, it was a bad feeling!"

"It was a very chaotic situation. The moment was very short. Before I could do anything to determine what time it was and who were around, I saw a python-like creature rolling down the steps. Its body was chopped into pieces from under the head. Two paragraphs, and who's that boy with the sword didn't have time to see clearly, he's covered in blood, but that sword with the ruby ​​on the big cross hilt, Godric, is definitely yours!"

"Huh? And then!"

"Then? I don't know why our eyes are dark again."

"No, you just appeared in Diagon Alley?"

"Of course not! Because of that snake, I wondered if it was Salazar's... because it was too fast, I couldn't see the type of snake, I only knew it was big, and the scales were covered with blood, so I used The magic power tore open the crack again. As a result, no one was in the castle hall, except for the snake’s body lying there, but it was indeed not a basilisk. The castle was full of fire, but the sound of the curse was gone Well, Helga and I seemed to see Salazar passing by in the corridor on the third floor, and when we were about to shout, we couldn't see anything anymore, and the damned darkness came again, and I couldn't stand still. Grabbing...cough, it seems that the snake's body was also pulled into the space crack, and it seems that the falling direction is still opposite to ours."

"Rowena, what will happen if the corpse is thrown into the past? It seems that many magical creatures can use black magic to freeze their souls not long after they die. Even if they are resurrected, or become cursed materials, it's okay, right?"

"Resurrection! That's just a very common variant of the Rune snake."

Of course, if it is not normal, you are likely to catch up and catch it in the time rift.

Godric turned his head away and continued to flip through the Daily Prophet, saying in his exaggerated tone:

"Salazar, don't you think we can go back to Hogwarts today, you know my..."

"Your hat" and "your sword" said the two witches at the same time, "is it still waiting for you in the castle?"

"Rowena, Helga!!" Gryffindor jumped up angrily, and the rest of the Daily Prophet was thrown around, and one of them stuck to Lucius' face.

The platinum nobleman tore the newspaper down silently.

He felt that the days of his stomachache should be over, but he didn't know if all the professors and students at Hogwarts would have the ability to bear it well to welcome this new semester.

-

【Riddle, you mean, after a long time, I will know you from the past. 】

The little basilisk girl is basking in the sun with her tail crossed and her big head tilted. The mud in the swamp is moist and warm. If the master is here, she must not allow it to roll around like this. The master doesn't like the dirty Iris.

【right. 】

[And Potter? 】

[… I have said many times, my name is James.Evans, why do you keep shouting wrong? 】

[Okay, Aerys remembered. 】The basilisk spat out dissatisfied, and decided that if this wizard did something that made Iris unhappy, Aerys would always call him Potter, and he could call whatever he didn't like to hear.

【So, Iris can wait for the master? 】

【It shouldn’t be wrong, but…】

According to the logic, Aerys was unlucky after the Chamber of Secrets woke up after sleeping for thousands of years. In the end, he came to the Middle Ages with the Dark Lord, and then he declared that he was about to be born and disappeared. He was thrown back abruptly by Slytherin until now. Although I figured out how the basilisk knew the Dark Lord and the Savior, isn't this an endless loop?

Will the wish of the basilisk never come true?

[By the way, Riddle, what is your relationship with Potter, I saw last night——]

"Cough cough!!"

The two wizards who were eating over there were all choking, and the black-haired and green-eyed wizard was even more choked, and went directly to the lake on the other side of the forest to fetch water.

[Riddle?You haven't answered my question yet. Was your action last night meant to eat him? 】

【...If you think so. 】Where is his ancestor, hurry up and take this basilisk away! !

【Oh, I see, it’s like the food that Aerys hates to eat the most, it will be hidden by the side, or it will always exist, what is it called, the master said... Oh, yes, the recipe, Riddle , Porter is your recipe right? 】The little basilisk girl slowly swam up, flicking the tip of her tail angrily, 【So, does Gryffindor want to regard my master as his recipe?Absolutely not! ! 】

The little girl screamed:

【Decided, I must make Gryffindor my master's recipe! ! 】

[…] I don’t know what to say to the Dark Lord anymore.

Moreover, the words of the basilisk sounded familiar. When I was thinking about it, I would never forget this kind of words that made my eyes darken and my chest hurt... By the way, when I first came to the Middle Ages, Lot On the Rick Wasteland.

[Riddle, I will definitely tell you in the future, things that you definitely don't know about the past]

——Because you talked about everything in a mess at that time.

Merlin, how sweet his Nagini is! !

[Wait, thousands of years later, you told me in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets that as long as I go back to the Middle Ages, I can save Nagini? 】

The basilisk lowered its head in bewilderment:

[Nagini?Who is that?Don't you know Iris? 】

[…] Just when the former Dark Lord was speechless and having a headache, suddenly there was an extremely sharp tearing sound from the forest, followed by the former savior shouting:

"Riddle, come quickly, a boa constrictor with its head separated from its body suddenly fell from the sky!"
