[HP] The Elegance of the Night

Night fell on the land, and the twinkling stars were not enough for the wizards to see the scene in front of them clearly.The passages outside Hogwarts grounds were lined with lanterns.At first, the little wizards stared at the high fence wall of the maze, even though the thick growth of thorns and branches completely blocked their peeping sight.As time went by, the enthusiastic cheers and cheers gradually turned into whispers, and the little wizards couldn't sit still.

More than an hour had passed since the warriors entered the maze, and the two warriors from other schools, Viktor Krum and Fleur Delacour, were sent out half an hour after the start of the game.The two principals, Karkaroff and Mrs. Maxim, looked displeased. Although they were still sitting on the referee's seat and waiting for the champion to be selected, their expressions did not have the original expectation.Because no matter who the warriors in the maze wins the Triwizard Cup, the honor belongs to Hogwarts.

"Who do you think will get the trophy?" asked a Ravenclaw girl with her wand stuck behind her left ear and a necklace made of butterbeer corks.

"Malfoy, of course!" cried the nearest Slytherin, but the little snake turned her face away when she saw that it was Ravenclaw's famous crazy girl speaking.

"For such a long time, even walking around the maze three times is enough." Pansy squeezed her small fan tightly, her knuckles turned white, "I really want to fly in and have a look like these moths circling around the lantern."

"Don't worry about Pansy." Igil's voice was steady, and his words would have been more convincing if he hadn't checked his watch every few minutes.

"Come here! Come out!" The audience screamed suddenly, and Draco and Harry came out from the entrance of the maze, each grabbing a handle of the Triwizard Cup.

A powerful sound swept across the audience in an instant, and the five referees sitting in the front row all stood up and applauded.The two little wizards who came out of the maze won the Triwizard Cup without looking at each other, and there were not many smiles on their faces.

"Tie for first place?" The shrill and thin voice like a little girl came from the mouth of the pink toad-faced witch of the Ministry of Magic. Before the other referees had breathed, she announced the result in a pretentious manner.

"Touching camaraderie, I think we need a big ceremony for these two warriors, what do you guys think?"

Cheers erupted from the auditorium, they shouted various slogans excitedly, and the huge banners of Slytherin and Gryffindor were held high by the little wizards.

"Hogwarts! Hogwarts!" Everyone stood up.In the dark crowd, Yigil held the outline of the amulet on his body with the same style as his lover, and smiled.

"Draco..."

...

"What we are about to face is a war." When the voices outside the castle reached Dumbledore's headmaster's office, the old man glanced out the window and drew the curtains.

The chunky Minister of Magic Fudge took off his bowler hat, his messy gray hair had a sense of decadence: "Dumbledore, what should I do?"

With his increasing confidence in the position of minister, he has rarely asked the old man so sincerely.

"The first and most important step is to get Azkaban out of the control of the dementors—" Dumbledore's words made Fudge open his mouth.

"The second step: send a message to the giants immediately... before it's too late, extend a hand of friendship to them, or Voldemort will win them over."

Every suggestion of Dumbledore made Fudge sweat coldly. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, trembling and out of breath.

"crazy……"

It is difficult for him to accept these two suggestions. Only knowing that the dementors are guarding Azkaban can most of them sleep with peace of mind. The day of stepping down is not far away.

"Whether to become the bravest and greatest Minister of Magic in history, or to stand by and let Voldemort have a second chance to destroy the world we worked so hard to rebuild, history will always remember..." Dumbledore looked at the portraits of the past principals on the wall , they all sat in the portrait, listening to their conversation carefully.

"Minister Fudge, from your tone, I didn't hear any intention of making that person come back public. Why?" The man with red eyes stood at a corner of the desk. The invalidation of Polyjuice Potion was restored.

"... Mr. Slytherin," Fudge met those wine-red eyes.A low-key, powerful pure-blood nobleman, the identity of this man brought him another shock after the return of that person.

To this day, those gorgeous red eyes still make Fudge shudder.When talking to a man, he unconsciously used honorifics.

"Announcing that person's return before anything happens will plunge the magic world into panic..."

"But only by taking precautions early can we... minimize the loss." A green light suddenly flashed in front of Fudge when the red-eyed man paused in his speech. beetle.

Merlin, a silent and wandless magic.

"Tom!" Dumbledore snapped, walking up to the red-eyed man and looking down at the beetles on the ground.

"It's just an ordinary beetle." After the identification, Dumbledore was relieved. The beetle had no special patterns on its body, and it was not the female reporter Rita Skeeter.

"You showed the same characteristics as before, which made me worry about our cooperation prospects." The bright blue eyes met the man's red pupils.If men remain brutal, their cooperation becomes meaningless.

"Just a little magic, Dumbledore." The man shrugged nonchalantly.At this moment the beetle turned over on the ground and flew up again.

"You should trust me, we are partners." The red-eyed man narrowed his red eyes when he saw the beetle flying up again, and this bug reminded him.He put the hood on the cloak back on, and then discussed with them, the man's magnetic and persuasive voice was transmitted through the cloak.

Even so cautiously, he was mentioned in the next day's Daily Prophet.At some point, the female reporter had already learned the whole truth.

"The Man Who Can't even Say His Name Returns" - Daily Prophet editor Barnabas Guffey published a press release in the next day's paper exactly as Fudge had intended.The contents published by Rita Skeeter in the third edition also caused an uproar in the wizarding world.

...

"It is worth noting that among the people who witnessed the return of the mysterious man, apart from our respected Minister of Magic Fudge and the great White Mage Dumbledore, there is an unexpected existence. The author heard Fudge call He, Mr. Slytherin, please continue to pay attention to our reports on the identity of this person..." Regulus, who was handicapped at 12 Grimmauld Place, put down today's newspaper and leaned lazily on the sofa.The red-eyed man graciously massaged his calf, which was particularly prone to fatigue, and made him moan comfortably.

"Honey." Tom Slytherin's darkened red eyes flashed a hint of helplessness, his lover knew that he had endured a lot during this time, and would continue to torture him with this seductive voice.

"Why did you ask Rita Skeeter to write this report? At this dangerous time when the Horcrux was resurrected, what exactly did you plan?" Regulus put his hand on his swollen belly and stroked it. Experience, this time is more difficult than the last pregnancy - in his stomach, there are two little lives.

"In order for us to return to the magic world smoothly, my dear, I said I would give you a beautiful wedding." The red-eyed man put his ears on Regulus' stomach, and the six-month-old child had already Will kick people in the stomach.

When his lover successfully gave birth to a child, he will really start to deal with the Horcrux. All the actions now are just a warm-up.

"Do you still remember the night of the Dark Mark in the World Cup last year? I left for a while." The man with red eyes placed a soft kiss on Regulus' belly.

"I went to see Barty Crouch Jr. and he's been my man ever since."

In the era before Voldemort was defeated by the savior, the red-eyed man once wore the ring of the Gaunt family and met a few pure-blood cronies among the Death Eaters, but they didn't know that the master wrapped under the cloak was not the one they usually saw .

When he went to watch the Quidditch World Cup, the man specially put on that rough ring. As he expected, Barty Jr. recognized him immediately.

"Your man!" Regulus raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't he tell you that the Horcrux would be resurrected early?"

"Honey, if the Horcruxes don't come back to life, how can we create momentum for our return?" Tom Slytherin raised his mouth, ever since Barty Jr. knew that the kid from the Malfoy family was Igil's lover, in order to please them Yigil, he even cleared all the magic traps in the maze that would cause injuries.

"I gave him the 'blood' used in the resurrection of the Horcrux. It took me a lot of thought to make it." The red-eyed man sat on the sofa so that his lover could lean on him.With the potion he configured, the lifespan of the Horcrux is only until this Christmas.Until then, he had to make good use of these few months.

Everything is going according to his plan.The early resurrection of the Horcrux is also in his plan.Contrary to Dumbledore's estimate, there was no flaw in the actions of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, but he helped a little after the fact, allowing the Horcrux to be discovered earlier.

"Regulus," the red-eyed man stroked his lover's hair with his slender fingers, "I said before, I want you to go home in style."

...

Four months later, Regulus gave birth to a pair of healthy babies, a boy and a girl lying in the cradle, allowing Tom Slytherin to experience the joy of being a father again.

During these four months, many things happened.The prisoners in Azkaban escaped collectively; the Brockdale Bridge in the Muggle world collapsed; Muggles and half-blood wizards were killed at home one after another; wizards who did not want to join the Death Eaters were controlled by the Imperius Curse.

The magic world is in dire straits because of the person who can't even say his name.

The new semester started, and students poured into Hogwarts. With Dumbledore around, it has become the safest place in the wizarding world.Sirius Black is Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor of the Year.The platinum-haired boy also learned of his lover's true family background through Igil's confession.

With the in-depth digging of the female reporter, the identity of Tom Slytherin gradually surfaced in the reports. Under deliberate hype, his legendary experience made his reputation even surpass that of Minister Fudge and Dumbledore. .

"He was Durmstrang's most popular student council president."

"His trophy is still in the showroom, and his achievements have never been surpassed."

"His alias is Tom Gunter, and he has been living a low-key life, but he has a group of followers who are very famous in various industries."

"He is the most trusted first teacher of the savior Harry Potter."

"He lives in the Slytherin Manor now.

"To this day, the mysterious man still hasn't given up his persecution of the sole heir of Slytherin."

"I kept his identity a secret for him, because I know that person has been looking for him. I once infiltrated the Death Eaters to deliver news, and helped him escape the assassination of that person again and again." Dems Trump's principal, Karkaroff, said in an interview with a female reporter.At this time, he did not forget to pay a layer of gold for his shameful behavior of betrayal.Tom Slytherin snorted coldly after seeing the unpublished news manuscript, and he waved his hand to let the female reporter add a lot of beautifying words.

For this kind of shameful betrayer, the man with red eyes never intended to let him stay. When the value of that Principal Durmstrang was exhausted, he was summoned by Merlin.

"When will this war end, Tom?" Dumbledore only said this to the red-eyed man after reading the recent reports.Not everyone can be deceived. After careful deliberation, he has seen through the man's tricks.

"My children are about to be born, Dumbledore." It was raining outside the window, and the weather in November had turned slightly cool. Regulus's due date was just a few days away.

The war is still in full swing, every day there are wizards who become Death Eaters, and people who don't want to be coerced by the dark forces seek their asylum every day.Because of the early preparations, the White Dao forces in the wizarding world were evenly matched with Voldemort, and there was no one-sided situation, which also meant a stalemate in the war.

Another month has passed, and the two lovely babies are full moon.They both had the same gorgeous red eyes as men, and at this moment, Dumbledore urged him again.

Tom Slytherin has done some strange things recently, such as visiting injured patients at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds, and this behavior of buying people's hearts has made Fudge emulate frequently.

It has to be admitted that the red-eyed man's research on black magic damage has reached the point of perfection.He cured the Longbottom couple who had been treated in the hospital for a long time, and made the round-faced boy in the Lion House completely become his admirers.

To Dumbledore's annoyance, the memory of the attack on the crazy early members of the Order of the Phoenix for more than ten years is still chaotic. They insisted on attacking them by a few Death Eaters headed by Evan Rozier Death Eaters, not Bellatrix, whom they identified as Death Eaters, were now reduced to bones.

At the beginning of December, the war situation that had been deadlocked for almost half a year finally became clear.The fuse of the incident was Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang School who was assassinated on the way to Slytherin Manor.

The elegant red-eyed man confronted the mysterious man because of this incident, and his dignity was provoked. After destroying several main strongholds of the Death Eaters with thunder, he formally asked the Dark Lord to meet.

Against the opposition of all the believers, the Dark Lord went to Slytherin Manor with only a few cronies.This meeting lasted for two days and two nights, and on the third day, the news of the Dark Lord's death came from the manor.

Afterwards, it was said that the one who played a key role in this thrilling battle was Bellatrix, who has always been known as Voldemort's most loyal follower.The witch, who was born in the Black family, aimed her wand at the Dark Lord at the last moment.

The truth of the matter was unknown because of the silence of the parties involved, and the victory came so suddenly that the people in the dark couldn't digest the good news for a while.

The panicked Death Eaters, led by several important members, besieged the Slytherin Manor, and they wanted to take crazy revenge on the owner of this ancient manor.The orthodox heir of Slytherin showed his mighty strength to the entire wizarding world at this time. The Death Eaters who took the lead in instigating were quickly killed, and the wizards who were coerced into joining the Death Eaters turned on the spot and bowed their heads to him.

The follow-up work of the war kept the Ministry of Magic busy for a long time. The vicious desperadoes were sent to Azkaban, and the wizards who were hit by the Imperius Curse and those who wanted to shirk their responsibilities were all tried and went to their own places.

Barty Crouch, who had been presumed dead, returned to the Ministry of Magic after the war, along with his son Barty Jr.The senior official of the Ministry of Magic used his experience to vindicate his son, and apologized to the wizards who were sent to prison directly by him without trial.

Sirius Black was one of the victims back then. When he was puzzled, several Death Eaters who were imprisoned in Azkaban at the same time as him were also rehabilitated.

When his cousin Bella got into the magnificent carriage and waved goodbye to him at the entrance of the magic department, this handsome gray-eyed man was still asking himself repeatedly in his mind, what kind of world is this...

"Tom Slytherin, you are the biggest winner in this war." Dumbledore's penetrating gaze shot from behind the half-moon lens.It can be said that everyone including him was tricked by this red-eyed man.

"Dumbledore, for the greater good, you didn't stop me." Tom Slytherin said with burning eyes, knowing that the old man knew how to choose for the overall situation, so he kept walking on the edge of the bottom line.

On Christmas Eve, the red-eyed man held a grand wedding with Regulus, and Dumbledore and Minister Fudge came to attend in person.The wedding was officiated by a portrait of Salazar Slytherin, whose appearance caused a commotion among the guests.

Starting at three in the afternoon, the guests arrived at the manor one after another. The Ministry of Magic, the Order of the Phoenix, and all the big families sent representatives, and elites from all walks of life gathered at the wedding scene.The rehabilitated Death Eaters and the new members of the organization toasted and drank.

On December 12, Tom Slytherin and Regulus Black formed a family in front of everyone.

Igil Black officially changed his name to Igil Slytherin.His father wanted to remove the magic that blinded the color of his pupils, but he refused on the grounds that others would not get used to seeing it.

The grand wedding process will not be leaked to the media, and there will be a detailed interview with the members of the Slytherin family afterwards.

"Ygil, when are we getting married?" The platinum-haired boy looked at the newlyweds who were blessed by everyone on the stage, his eyes flickering.Taking advantage of no one's attention, he quickly tapped his lover's lips.

Lucius stared straight ahead, pretending not to see his son's initiative, his ears covered by platinum long hair stood up high.

"When we graduate, Draco." Igil's eyes were soft, he took his lover's hand and held it tightly.

At the same time, Sirius Black was hugging the red-eyed baby girl, frantically coaxing her to sleep. The Potions professor at Hogwarts stood beside him exuding a strong magic pressure, and he pursed his lips and looked at the stupid dog with contempt. After that, he took the baby in his arms.

There was a flash of pain in Harry Potter's emerald green eyes, and the little devil in his arms was holding up his pink hands and pulling his hair fiercely.

This is a beautiful day, and many people still talk about the scene of that day to their children and grandchildren until they are old.

This is a legend recorded in the history of magic, and their stories will be passed down forever in the magic world...
