the lost castle

"A castle?"

"Well, it is a castle that is absolutely not inferior to the Saxon palace. It is very large, and it uses solid, neat and smooth stones. Each of the huge stones used to construct the entire wall is the same size. There are very tall towers, the most conspicuous is The adjoining corridors, with their large windows, sharp and beautiful pilasters and enclosed arcades, I have never seen a more delicate and perfect building..."

"Can't even compare to this?"

"Not even Slytherin Castle."

"You have aroused my interest! According to you, I just passed through that forest with Melville two days ago."

"I'm afraid so, Lord Gryffindor."

Of course, it is impossible for people to chat and dance without taking a break at a banquet. Even wizards have not tormented themselves like this. Although the host of the banquet must try to maintain the presence as much as possible, he still follows the etiquette and retreats before changing clothes or the beginning of the dance and dinner to restore energy. The potion has been brought up by the maid several times, and the Muggle nobles are not as lucky as the wizards. No matter how hard they are, they are reluctant to say goodbye to the noble lady they just met, and they have to consider finding a place to rest.Some young Muggle aristocrats who don't know much about these things curiously want to pick up those exquisite crystal bottles, and they will be scolded by their elders immediately.So these young people, who may be the first to truly understand the gap-like difference between wizards and Muggles, looked at each other with complicated eyes, as if at that moment, the "friends" they had just made were clearly divided into two kinds of people .Although this kind of endless grand event seems outrageous to Neville, in fact, in a few hundred years, the Holy See will become more extreme and horrible than this. On the road, the Muggles used emetics to empty what they had just eaten to taste, and there were many poor people who died of starvation and disease in the territory of the gods they believed in.

Gryffindor walked around Neville, whose whole body was stiff and he didn't know where to put his hands. Curiosity was written in his eyes, and he motioned lazily to Robert, who gave Neville a gift-giving look. Saying goodbye, the little lion of the Longbottom family looked at the founder of the academy with a numb scalp.

"Neville Longbottom? Well, this surname is not unfamiliar, but the people of the Longbottom family just walked past here, it seems that they don't know you, and you can't recognize them, right?" The most important reason why Robert brought this guy of "unknown origin" in instead of throwing him in the arranged room to be with the group of papal knights who are servants of the Holy See is the most important reason. Besides, he is not a nobleman, so he is not qualified to come in...

Neville opened his mouth at a loss, trying to find someone who might be his ancestor from the hall where many people had dispersed.

"You are a wizard, surnamed Longbottom, recognized by magic but no family knows you, and you wear clothes with my family's lion crest. This is not the most interesting." The blond Gryffindor didn't know the opposite The little lion is already wailing in his heart, why is there no school history that says that the founder is such a difficult person~~ "The most interesting thing is that Robert told me just now that he couldn't use Dementor to you read."

Cold sweat was already rolling down Neville's forehead, with an expression of uncontrollable panic.

"—And you, it doesn't look like you are good at Occlumency, or more precisely, Robert has no way to see your memory..." Godric Gryffindor wore that lazy smile, brightly There are a few strands of blond hair scattered down, although it looks brighter and more attractive, but poor Longbottom has not dared to be as full of admiration and admiration as when he first saw him (it's terrible, Harry, I want to Go home), Godric approached Neville slowly, and the latter's face became paler and paler, and then he couldn't stop shaking. The blond knight even lowered his voice to almost a mosquito sound, smiling at Neville Leave a word in my ear:

"The future is invisible, right?"

Neville's eyes widened suddenly, panic had turned into panic.

If Ron Weasley were here instead, before anyone asked, he would probably have told everything from beginning to end, whether Godric Gryffindor could believe it or not, he would have told it a long time ago, and there would even be a Strongly emphasized that Salazar Slytherin is a dark wizard and not a good person, and he must not believe it.

Fortunately, Neville had a grandmother who told him all the life-threatening common sense over and over again, especially the Time-Turner, and seriously warned his grandson not to use it.The trouble is not the time, but the changes caused by going back in time. If you accidentally obstruct what must happen, it is not nothing new that you will die. No wizard dares to bet his life on fate.So it is best not to change anything in the past, and waiting for the time to coincide to the original second is the safest and safest method.

Neville didn't dare to open his mouth, didn't dare to say a word, he was so stubborn that even Hermione would have a headache - but he still didn't hide the secret, what made him even more frightened was that he couldn't live 1000 years to the day when something went wrong in the castle So far, and Harry and they are still in the castle (not anymore...) with Voldemort, he has to rush back (counting on you, people are starving to death... well, it is true that you saved them although you yourself Don't know ==).

"Melville? Melville?"

Just when the Longbottom lion cub was on the verge of fainting, Godric instead walked past him and walked out of the hall, shouting a name loudly.

"Godric?"

"Ah, Rowena, you're back. Just in time, the midnight dance is about to begin."

The woman changed into a light red dress with a Roman aristocratic tie, her long tea-blond hair was let down, and the tear-shaped pendant of blood-colored gemstones shone through her hair. Walking down the steps with skirts on, the blond knight received countless jealous and complicated glances in an instant, but he looked up at the night sky where the shadow of a black cloaked banshee passed by from time to time, as if he didn't feel anything at all:

"Melville?"

The clear and enchanted voice spread far, far away in the night.

But for a long time, it was very embarrassing to him that there was nothing outside except the wandering and crying banshee.

"...Where did you go to make trouble again?" Godric scratched his hair helplessly and distressed.

"Who is Melville?"

"My partner and friend, Rowena."

"Then why didn't you attend the banquet?"

"Uh, well, I'm a knight, so of course I have to have companions...you understand what I mean?" Gryffindor felt that he was too tactful and hinted too deeply, and he was very proud of himself.

But obviously Ravenclaw didn't take his face seriously. After a second of silence, he understood, and smiled ironically:

"It's fine to just say that the mount is not good. You don't need to repeat that you are a knight? Which wizard wears knight armor to attend the banquet? Besides, knights and knight attendants, where is your knight attendant?"

"... do house elves count?"

Rowena Ravenclaw, who was completely defeated for the first time against Gryffindor, learned what the so-called Melville was from the kind laughter and whispered reminders of Helga who came over.

"Your mount is a dragon?!" Rowena's voice raised an octave.

"Yes, Melville is a dragon."

"You..." Ravenclaw, who had originally thought that there was a dragon that could lie obediently on the ground for her to study and fiddle with, suddenly woke up from the joy, and stared at Godric with idiot eyes:

"No contract?!"

Have you ever seen the dragon knight calling himself a dragon with his voice?If you haven't seen it, congratulations, Godric Gryffindor, the only heir to the wizard family who has led the Knights Templar for 200 years in the Holy See, is showing this incredible skill before your eyes.

"Knights and partners, have you ever seen a knight who signed a contract with a horse?" A certain knight was still very straightforward.

"Your is a dragon!!" Rowena was so angry that she almost forgot to maintain etiquette and noble temperament.

No contract, what does no contract mean?The wizard can't communicate with that dragon, and that dragon won't obediently obey the order of the knight, and can even flap its wings and fly home without anyone paying attention to it. How could the dragon she had met so hard just disappear like this? (==)

"Whether Melville is a dragon, a griffin, or a pegasus, that's still my partner. Does it make any difference?"

"You can sign an equal contract!!"

"Then, friends are the same as partners, do you want to sign an equal contract with me?"

"..."

Rowena Ravenclaw, who was completely defeated for the second time against Gryffindor, changed her face from green to white, staring at the cunning under the blond knight's lazy smile, what a vile and unworthy face (...), suddenly the truth came to light, without saying a word, flipped his wrist, a slender white magic wand fell directly from the cuff tied with lace, and pointed with his hand:

"Hang upside down and fly!"

"oops--"

Gryffindor was indeed sent flying by the swift white light, but in mid-air he just turned around lightly, or stretched out a backflip and fell back to the ground, bowing gracefully and saluting perfectly. The knightly demeanor, the smile that raised the head caused many women to cry out in surprise, making Ravenclaw, who had launched a perfect attack within a second, be ignored instead, and everyone who was attracted by the noise applauded meaningfully high laugh.

The blond knight, who had given a perfect farewell amidst the noise, proudly jumped off the platform at the end of the steps, submerged into the dark night, apparently looking for his dragon.

"Melville?"

"Ow—"

In the dense forest of the distant Abigail Mountains, a certain black dragon was injured and could not move:

Godric Gryffindor, you lazy, unresponsive knight with a sword!If you don't come to save your life again, I'll knock you over with a paw! !
