the lost castle

The moment the pitch-black flame burst out suddenly, everyone in the outermost hall of St. Mungo's was stunned. When they realized that it was black magic, almost all of them screamed and backed away desperately. The wizards hadn't really started from the food yet. Getting out of the shadow brought by the dead, the flames rolling out from the fireplace were as black as ink, swallowing the bricks engraved with St. Mungo's runes as if they were melting, and then the entire fireplace. The wizard who had just arrived in St. Mungo's cried out in terror.They ran away one after another, and became a mess. Although no one was contaminated by the terrible magic fire, it extended all the way to form a huge black smoke, which made a sharp and piercing noise. Soon the surrounding floor tiles were also burned and melted by the flames, becoming into boiling smoke.

Because there was absolutely no whirling that Apparation usually would have, Hagrid and the others were still wondering in their hearts. As soon as they stood firm and looked around, they immediately wailed and wished there was a hole in the ground so that they could hide in quickly—— It's basically the way of the black wizard's appearance. It's over now. This kind of stain may not be washed away in a lifetime.

The chandelier hanging in the hall kept shaking under the violent magic fluctuations, and the fading of the pitch-black flame made the surrounding light more obvious. It was impossible to see such a bright room in the Middle Ages. Willing to communicate with Muggles, but not so far behind that it still stays untouched 1000 years ago. Just the hall of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic is enough to make Godric look around in amazement.I ran too fast last time, so I didn’t have a chance to take a closer look at the scenery. Now I find that there is nothing wrong with running 1000 years later. Look, this ceiling is more beautiful than the Hogwarts dome. Ina heard.

Frowning tightly, green eyes silently stared at the screaming and fleeing crowd around him.

—Wizard, without a doubt.

But what kind of era is this, so that adult wizards with wands can only back away and scream when they see sudden changes, worse than Muggle women, at least in the memory of the Duke of Slytherin, whether it is a small The ignorant Muggles in towns and villages would be angry and fearful when they saw a wizard, pick up anything that could be called a weapon at hand, and even if they didn't have the guts, they would at least pick up stones, grab things and smash them, right?

Despite the doubts, the defensive spells that should be used are not lacking,

Caution has always been, and always will be, the best habit.

The chaos and unbelievable screams came from the very familiar Order of the Phoenix who appeared after the wizards saw the black magic, especially the panic and crisis that came to the heart instinctively - because they felt the terrible pressure of magic , Before he realized what was going on, he was already dominated by fear.

"Salazar, I remember, we were up there..."

"Go ahead, if you can come back." Just a quick glance, Salazar has already found that although the internal stairs of this building will not change like Hogwarts, it seems that there are countless rooms, all of which look the same. This kind of place allows a certain knight to rush in alone, and he will find more than just a wand later.

Over there, Weasley Hagrid and the others were already breaking out in cold sweat.

Merlin, is there anything worse than this?Even for the old wizards who specialize in cleaning up garbage in Diagon Alley, wands are very important things.

Wiping off their sweat, all the members of the Order of the Phoenix except Madam Pomfrey were desperately thinking about what Salazar Slytherin's wand looked like... Unfortunately, in the few chances they could see it, it was too late to escape Are you still in the mood to stand there and appreciate it carefully?

"My lord, Gryffindor, that... shall we look for it separately?"

"No, take me to the floor where I saw Salazar and me last time." If he couldn't find the way, wouldn't he find someone to guide him? Knights will never be defeated by difficulties.

St. Mungo would not take away a patient's wand casually. Even if it was an unknown person, there would be a registration after taking it away, and it would definitely be placed in a fixed place.

Madam Pomfrey is also a medical doctor, and she is very confident in this point. St. Mungo will always stand on the neutral side in the war.So even though I was flustered before, it was not panic, but this confidence led everyone to break into all the rooms on the first floor to the sixth floor, and found a bunch of messy items, which frightened countless wizards. From Godric more and more With the impatient expression and Salazar's increasingly cold breath, everyone's hearts were hanging higher and higher.

"impossible……"

St. Mungo's can't just take someone else's wand and hide it.

Don't say that the material is rare and people are attracted to it. Only wand makers can understand this kind of thing. At most, others can only tell what material the outside of the wand is made of.All kinds of wood, who would be interested?

Generally speaking, if the wand is lost, of course you have to find it quickly. It can’t help but because in this era, every wand is registered with the Ministry of Magic. If it is taken away by a dark wizard and cast a curse, it will be you who are unlucky.And more powerful wizards will worry about the saying that the wand is chosen by the wizard. If you lose it for a long time, maybe the wand is not yours.

But does Salazar Slytherin need to worry about this kind of problem?

Madam Pomfrey opened her mouth, but finally swallowed the words she wanted to persuade.

She is also a Slytherin, of course she knows what to say and what not to say.

But she understands, but it doesn't mean others understand.

"...It doesn't matter, it's not Harry, he can take away Draco Malfoy's wand, even if he is taken away..." Ron shook his head and said halfway, suddenly startled, and remembered something badly An ugly pink toad.

Of course, St. Mungory is not all useless wizards who just run away.

Throwing more than a dozen spells, and throwing the rushing people far away again, Godric finally got impatient.

"Hey, where did you get Salazar's wand?"

"You daring dark wizards, Azkaban is waiting for you..."

Arthur Weasley looked at the healer who was picked up and shaken by a certain knight in horror, his eyes were pinched white and he was still struggling stubbornly. Although he hoped that he would give an answer, he wished he could find a cloak to hold him. I wrapped myself from head to toe, just looking at the pair of angry eyes can understand, this time the problem is getting bigger, I almost forgot the Ministry of Magic, Azkaban, Wizengamot Supreme Court after staying in the Middle Ages for a long time ...Merlin, the joke is that he can't allow himself to be tried as a dark wizard.

"What is Azkaban?" A certain knight turned his head and asked the person he trusted the most. "It sounds like a good name, maybe we can go shopping somewhere."

Salazar looked back at him silently, obviously, he couldn't give an answer either.

"...Stupid dark wizards, you deserve to be judged for the Dementor's Kiss!"

"I've seen dementors. But—" Godric continued to look back in doubt, "are dementors scary?" Those funny little guys have been following them for several years because of the spirit of goblins can eat.

"..."

"The wand is not in St. Mungo's, Lord Gryffindor, we must leave quickly. I believe that people from the Ministry of Magic will come soon, and it will not be so easy to leave by then."

"What is the Ministry of Magic?"

A certain knight asked one question after another at the most inappropriate time, and what was even more terrible was that the Duke of Slytherin beside him had no intention of leaving, as if he was waiting for the members of the Order of the Phoenix to answer his questions with no expression.At the moment of embarrassment, he finally understood the situation and found that the therapist St. Mungo, who could not drive away the group of uninvited guests, sold the pink toad without hesitation.

"It's Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic, who took the wand!"

It is necessary for us to describe the desperate expressions on the faces of the members of the current Order of the Phoenix.

Do they have to go to the Wizengamot for a trial?

I don't know if facing those wizards who are too old, can they justify themselves that they were ordered by the founder of Hogwarts to make a big fuss in the Ministry of Magic?Well, the biggest possibility of doing this is that they will be collectively sent to St. Mungo's Magical Accidental Permanent Injury Unit-suspected of insanity.

"Umbridge..." You are everywhere!

Everyone was gnashing their teeth.

Why wasn't this toad kicked to death by the centaur in the Forbidden Forest two years ago!

"Godric..." The low voice was filled with strange impatience, followed by killing intent. The wand is the secret of every wizard, especially for the Duke of Slytherin. As its maker, Ollivander once said, it is strong yet fragile. It has the opposite feathers of auspicious birds as the middle connection, and the core of the staff is the spine of a two-headed dragon. , It is a waste that cannot use any spells, there is no absolutely balanced magic power to manipulate it to use spells, or even break it from it.

—that was their most important thing.

A dark wizard can live without a wand, but Salazar Slaterin cannot live without his soul.
