In 1960, the British wizarding world was shrouded in shadow, and the dark forces rose rapidly, covering the entire British mainland with unexpected speed.

Before the British Ministry of Magic responded, a group of young wizards, led by the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, who graduated from Aurors and Gryffindors, took the lead in forming the Order of the Phoenix. Gradually appearing in the sights of ordinary wizards against the organization called Death Eaters.

Of course, in this premeditated rule, the word Death Eater already existed among the pure-blood nobles, and even earlier, many pure-blood families were already members of it.

But now, this force has once again been perfected and expanded, and is lurking in all levels of the British wizarding world.

*****

In 1970, most ordinary wizards did not realize that the long peace had long since ended, and what greeted them would be the most turbulent decade in the British wizarding world.

However, no matter what drastic changes are going on in the outside world, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has always been the most peaceful magic sanctuary in the British wizarding world.

It's just that this kind of peace never existed in Slytherin.

"Oster."

In the long corridor leading to the basement of Hogwarts, Barty Crouch Jr. caught up with Oster Kasdey in front.

The called boy stopped, turned around and waited for his friend behind him.

"That Lestrange asked me to tell you to hold a meeting of prefects in the Forbidden Forest at eleven o'clock tonight." The young man's face was gloomy, obviously something unpleasant had happened before.Looking at Oster thoughtfully, Little Batty paused and said, "You won't go... the current situation."

Little Batty's eyes revealed some worries. He had known Oster almost since childhood. Little Batty knew very well that the current neutral position of the Castell family was actually very dangerous.

Although Crouch is also a pure-blooded family, the Crouch family is almost all Gryffindor colleges, so when Barty Jr. was sorted into Slytherin in the first year, his strict father gave the boy a lot of embarrassment Look, although after entering Hogwarts, he didn't meet his father many times.

The Osted family is different, no matter most of the descendants are Slytherins, or as the oldest alchemy family in Britain, the Castel family with a certain status and strength will inevitably become the object of competition between the two sides. , There really is a word of war.

"Isn't it the prefect meeting?" The boy smiled, the emotion in his light blue eyes seemed to be talking about such a meeting, as the fourth-year Slytherin prefect, shouldn't he be there.

Osted looked at his friend in front of him. Suddenly, the boy's face changed, he was no longer as gentle as before. The boy with dark brown hair almost immediately grabbed Barty, who was hiding under the long sleeves of his school uniform. The wrist that was trying to dodge.

"What did they do to you?" Oster's face was a little cold, and at the same time, a healing spell had been uttered from the boy's mouth.If there was an adult wizard who was proficient in magic at this time, he would have found that the magic wand in the hand of the boy under 15 years old in front of him was an unmistakably precise reverse black magic spell.

"It's okay." Little Barty said, moving his recovered arm, but the haze in his eyes was hard to hide.

And every time Barty showed such a brave look, Oster felt very helpless. This situation seemed to have started since they entered Hogwarts. Slytherin did not welcome boys from the Crouch family. In fact, Barty Crouch Jr.'s life in Slytherin was actually very passive, except for the few small families that were vassals of the Castell family.

In fact, Orston has never understood how his childhood friend was sorted into Slytherin with him. If Barty Jr. was in Gryffindor College, Orston believed that it would be good for his friends and for Granny. Mr. Rauch, he shouldn't always be dissatisfied with his friend's sorting.

Thinking of this, Osted couldn't help recalling that when he was in the sorting school, the hat also hesitated to sort him into the loyal and friendly Hufflepuff house, but in the end Oston still got into Slytherin justifiably. .

Slytherin admired strength, and all generations of Kasdey pursued the supreme breakthrough in alchemy.

"Don't worry about this, are you really going tonight? I think they are uneasy and kind." Barty reminded, when does the Slytherin prefect meeting need to be held in the Forbidden Forest?

"It'll be fine." Oster replied, and walked to the Slytherin common room with Batty Jr.

After entering the common room, several students sitting on the sofa glanced at the person coming, then looked back at the book in their hands or continued the conversation that was interrupted for a moment.

It stands to reason that the Castells are not a small family, especially when the French and German alchemy forces are involved behind this family, and they have always had outstanding achievements in alchemy, it is enough to make the Slytherins He has an attitude of wooing the heirs of this family, but obviously, Oster's current situation in Slytherin is not like this.

Among the pure-blood nobles in Slytherin, some small families were excluded, and those who had not yet surrendered to the master of the Death Eaters were left only the Castel family, known for their alchemy, and the family that had closed the manor long ago. The Prince family of the potion family.

This is also the reason why Oster's position in Slytherin became more and more awkward. Before the war started, there seemed to be two disunified forces in Slytherin.

In the evening, before the appointed time, Barty Jr. followed Oster to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Although Oster emphasized that there was no need, Barty Jr. stayed on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

When Lucius and the other Slytherins saw Oster approaching, they stopped talking, and Oster looked at the so-called prefect meeting in front of him with a confused expression. people.

He seemed to only see the Head of Slytherin, Lucius from the sixth year, and a few seventh year students.

"Hello, senior." Oster nodded, and put away his fluorescent wand.

"Junior Osted." With the gorgeous aria, Lucius' eyes fell on this junior who in his eyes was always in line with the aesthetics of the Malfoy family. Osted is considered an outstanding man because of his family background, ability or appearance. Slytherin.

However, the Castell family just didn't make a statement, and according to the news that came out recently, the other party seemed to have made up their minds to favor... the Order of the Phoenix?

It is not a secret among the purebloods that the headmaster of the white wizard visited the head of the Castell family several times, and it has long been rumored that the Castell family has a good personal relationship with the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore.

If on this issue, the other party insists on going against the interests of the majority——

Lucius looked at Oster in front of him.

That's such a shame.

"Is the senior looking for something for me?" Oster said, his eyes casually glanced at Labastan Lestrange beside him.

"There is an adult who wants to meet you. I wonder if my junior is free on Saturday?"

Obviously, after failing to win over a family, the Dark Lord set his mind on the heir of the family.

And this weekend happens to be Hogsmeade Day, and senior students can leave school and go to Hogsmeade after applying.

In the Forbidden Forest, Oster thought for a moment. Although he looked calm as usual, the young man was already in shock because of the other party's question.I didn't expect that person to find me so quickly.Although my grandfather had already reminded him that there might be a change in the near future, I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Sorry." Oster declined the other party's invitation.

In an instant, the atmosphere around him became a little tense.

When a certain Slytherin on the opposite side drew out his wand, the spell in Oster's mouth had already hit Rabastan on the side, and the speed at which the young man cast the spell was astonishing.

*****

"Just let him leave like this?" said a seventh grader with an ugly face.

Lucius glanced at Rabastan over there. If he remembered correctly, the black magic just now was the same as the one that Rabastan attacked Crouch in the afternoon.

interesting.

"Since Oster has chosen the same position as his family, we have nothing to do with it. Don't forget that this is Hogwarts." That white wizard's territory.

Even so, after Lucius finished speaking, there was still regret in his eyes.The platinum noble knew very well that his master would never allow neutral or even biased existences in his own Slytherin.Eliminating dissidents is the first thing every leader will clean up.

And Lucius thought that the other party would at least consider it as a Slytherin.

But Oster refused.

"Damn it..." Although the counter-curse had been cast, the severe pain at the moment when Rabastan was hit by the curse still made the boy's face pale until now.

"We can teach this kid a lesson for the master..."

Don't wait for the person next to you to finish speaking.

"Under Dumbledore's nose? Angus, I thought you could be a little smarter?" After speaking bluntly, Lucius left the Forbidden Forest first, while the other Slytherins After looking at each other, they also followed the blond boy in front.

After all, among the students in Slytherin, the only one who was selected and marked by that adult was Lucius Malfoy, the head of Slytherin house in the sixth grade.

*****

On the eve of Christmas, Oster received a letter from his grandfather, hearing that there would be a very important guest at home. Oster, who originally planned to spend this Christmas with Little Barty at school, had to sit down during the Christmas holiday. On the Hogwarts Express back to London.

Before leaving, Barty Jr. hesitated and asked Osted a question.

"Oster, why didn't your family choose to join that person?"

"It's Grandpa's decision."

"So, what about you? I mean if you—"

"I don't think so."

In fact, it's not that Oster has never paid attention to the person called 'Lord' in Slytherin. It's just that after learning about that person's deeds, the young man doesn't think that such a person can achieve final success. Of course, this is just his personal feeling.

"To be honest, I really don't want to wave my wand at someone from my house."

Little Barty was stunned.

In fact, not only within Slytherin, but also in the other three houses, the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor has become increasingly serious, and has even developed into a vicious fight, even if it is sometimes discovered by the professor in time and punished. Containment, but this does not prevent the private struggle and hatred between the students on both sides.

This kind of isolation occasionally made Oster faintly worried that Slytherin would be led to a dead end by that person, but others obviously didn't think so.

His fellow students are keen to belittle and discriminate against the students of the other three houses, in order to show Slytherin's superiority.

It wasn't until the first bell of the train rang ahead that the boy ended the topic.

"No one should bring war into school."

After Oster finished speaking, he sorted out his emotions, and patted the shoulder of the boy beside him, "If you can, go home, Mrs. Crouch must be looking forward to your coming home for the holidays."

"...Come back early." A stiff voice.

Without responding to Oster's words, Little Barty's eyes gradually darkened as he watched the boy step onto the train.

What if Oster knew what his heart longed for, the desire for power and power, and the glory that the Lord bestowed upon him—what would it be?

Little Barty hated knowing that answer.

And... I really hate that father.

Looking at the slowly running train, the boy at the platform turned around alone when the entire train disappeared from sight.

A gust of cold wind blew through the silent Hogsmeade station, and it seemed that it also blew away the voice of the friend wandering in the boy's mind.

anyone.

Do not bring war into school...

The author has something to say: I saw the message>.<Sure enough, my writing was too cryptic...

Here is an explanation of TT": Oster traveled back in time at the age of 14 and lived in Hogwarts under the name 'Nicole' for four years; and then dropped the name 'Oster' after returning to his own time The name, joined Voldemort as 'Nico', and in the end, when Nico was 'Oster' used the death curse on Harry, it was bounced back...

Charles was rescued by Lord, so he can be regarded as Nico's main soul... But before that, Nico rescued Lord first...>.<What the author is talking about is so dizzy

In the end, after the side story is finished, please believe that there is no doubt at all...

The soul movie in Harry’s mind is a bit complicated, the author thinks it’s better to write that after the extra episode is over…………… ORZ’s confession

The author of PSQAQ is really working hard, can I ask for a long comment XD
