"I think Salazar left alone because he had disagreements with the other three founders on the theory of pure blood. In order to prevent his former good friends from turning against each other, he left alone." The Sorting Hat sighed.

"Isn't that right?" said Anita, "Slytherin really doesn't believe in pimplings, he thinks only pure blood wizards have the same interests, so they won't betray, and pimplings might betray wizards for Muggles But I remember Gryffindor convincing Slytherin that weeds were an integral part of the wizarding world, that there might be conflict and discord between weeds and purebreds, but no hatred. Slater Although Lin thought Gryffindor was too idealistic, he didn't object to it."

The Sorting Hat was silent for a while, and asked in disbelief, "How do you know this?"

"Well, Hogwarts likes me very much. He often shares some interesting memories with me. But he can't communicate with me yet, otherwise I can know what happened thousands of years ago."

"Ah, that little guy." The Sorting Hat suddenly realized, "Since Godric and Salazar knew that Hogwarts had produced their own consciousness, they sometimes deliberately shielded him, so he doesn't know everything."

"Won't they block you?" Anita asked.

"Yes." The Sorting Hat said angrily, "Godric often shuts me in a small dark room, but I have a special skill of disguising myself as an ordinary hat, sometimes Godric and Salazar don't even know I was in their room, hehehe. Let me tell you, once..."

Although she wanted to hear gossip, but the business was important, Anita interrupted the Sorting Hat ruthlessly, "Well, are we discussing why Slytherin left?" If she didn't remind, the Sorting Hat could bring the topic to Thousands of miles away, and chatter all day long.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about Sarah Cha's departure first. Anita, let me tell you, you little girl is good at everything, but you lack patience. Patience is very important, especially for a wizard. Let me tell you, Salazar is a very patient person, and Godric is almost there. As a descendant of Slytherin, why do you look more like Gryffindor? Let's just say you'd be a good fit for Gryffindor..."

"We! We're talking! Salazar! About running away!" The veins on Anita's forehead were throbbing. It wasn't because she was impatient, but because the Sorting Hat was too distracting.

"Be patient, we're going to talk about it." The Sorting Hat sighed, seeing that Anita was about to explode, he said quickly, "You just said that Salazar and Godric were recruiting Muggle-born students for the first time. At that time, Salazar was persuaded by Godric and did not put the theory of pure blood into practice.

But many years later, Salazar proposed to only recruit students from wizard families. He also put forward a theory that the wizard's overall strength and talent would decline only if the blood of the wizard was tarnished by the hemp-born wizard.This theory is too absurd. As we all know, the strength of hemp-born wizards is not inferior to that of pure-blood wizards, and some even have unparalleled talents.Of course Godric, Rowena and Helga would not agree to Salazar's proposal, and they had an unprecedented quarrel. This time, Salazar was so stubborn that even Godric couldn't change his mind, and finally They decided to create their own colleges and recruit the students they wanted.

Since then, Slytherin College has only recruited young wizards from wizarding families. Not only that, in order to ensure the purity of the blood, Salazar also advocated marriages between pure-blood families, and even marriages within the family.The Gaunt family has always insisted on inbreeding, also because of Salazar's instructions. "

"I remember when you were sorting, you said that Slytherin doesn't only accept pure blood?" Anita asked.

"Oh, yes, that's exactly why I think Salazar left," said the Sorting Hat. "Even Godric didn't know about it, but before Salazar left, it was me who changed it." The criteria for admissions, as long as they are shrewd and ambitious little wizards can enter Slytherin House, there is no requirement for pure blood. I think it must be Salazar who discovered that the theory he insisted on before is wrong, but he is so arrogant People, and they don't want to bow their heads in front of their old friends, so they chose to leave."

What the Sorting Hat said seems to make sense, but there seems to be something wrong.

"And do you know about the Slytherin curse?"

"What curse?" the Sorting Hat asked. "Salazar is very accomplished in curses. He used to..."

Before the Sorting Hat got off topic again, Anita hurriedly interrupted him, saying, "Slytherin's curse on all wizards."

"That's impossible." The Sorting Hat denied it. "No matter how powerful Salazar is, it is impossible to curse all wizards. Salazar is a human being, not a god."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Sorting Hat, it was a pleasure chatting with you." Anita originally wanted to ask about the curse, but she returned with a head full of grievances and grudges between the Big Four.

"Actually, Salazar Slytherin's theory is not unreasonable." After listening to Anita's report, Draco said thoughtfully.

"Don't tell me you still believe in pure blood," said Hermione. "You and I won't be able to play happily together."

"No, I'm not referring to the theory of pure blood." Draco explained, "In fact, even those families who support the theory of pure blood don't necessarily believe that pure blood wizards are more powerful than wizards of hemp breeds, but the theory of pure blood It is more in line with their interests. You know, the marriages of those pure-blood families for generations have long formed a huge and complicated network of interests, and the increase in the number of witches will inevitably infringe on the interests of those pure-blood families..." Della Coe saw that neither Anita nor Hermione was very interested, and concluded briefly, "So, when Salazar Slytherin came up with the theory of pure blood, it may be because he believes that pure blood wizards are more powerful, but The pure blood theory has been able to last for so many years, definitely because of profit."

Hermione showed a look of disgust, "I hate politics, and your theory that interests come first."

"I don't like it either." Draco smiled helplessly, "But welcome to the real world."

"It's far away." Draco said, "I said that Slytherin's theory has a certain truth, which means that the overall strength of the wizarding world he said has been declining. The wizards of the Big Four period were so powerful, and the wizards of today are so powerful. It's not comparable at all, even Anita's father - he should be the top wizard in the wizarding world - is not comparable to any of the Big Four."

"This comparison is not fair." Hermione said, "We only know about the Big Four through various books, but those records must be exaggerated, and we cannot accurately know how strong the Big Four are. "

"I probably know." Anita recalled the appearance of the Big Four fighting in her memory at Hogwarts, and said with certainty, "Daddy is not as strong as the Big Four."

Neither Draco nor Hermione questioned Anita's words, and Draco frowned, "So, the strength of the wizarding world is weakening, but it has nothing to do with the theory of pure blood, otherwise, Slytherin would not change his enrollment standard."

"I think this should have something to do with that curse, but what is it? According to common sense, the more people you have, the stronger you are, right?" Hermione said.

Anita nodded in agreement, "I think so too, there must be some connection we've overlooked."

The three of them pondered for a while, but there were too few clues to get anything. Anita asked another question, "Do you know what I can't figure out the most?"

"Which point?"

"Slytherin's ambition." Anita said, "Salazar Slytherin is an ambitious and power-hungry person. Surely he created Hogwarts for more than teaching and educating people? Besides sheltering those Little wizards persecuted by Muggles, doesn't Slytherin have further ambitions, such as unifying the wizarding world, counterattacking the Muggles, and even letting wizards override Muggles? I don't believe Slytherin will A man who is content to be a professor, but the fact is that after the founding of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin went no further."

"In those days, creating a wizarding school like Hogwarts was already a great ambition?" said Hermione.

"No, Hermione, you're not a Slytherin, and you don't understand Slytherin's ambitions." Anita explained, "For most Slytherins, there is no end to ambition. When Salazar Slytherin After achieving the achievement of establishing a school, he will definitely have new goals, and being a professor in peace and contentment is really not in line with Slytherin's character."

"Maybe Salazar Slytherin has more important things than power," Draco speculated.

"Like?"

"Like the curse?" Draco said.

Anita rolled her eyes, and as a result, they were at a dead end again, and those questions would have no answers without finding out why Slytherin wanted to limit the population of the wizarding world.

The three of Anita once again fell into a pile of materials, but before they read all kinds of black magic books about curses, this time they checked all kinds of history books, especially those from the period of the Big Four.

After Christmas break, Draco returned to Hogwarts, looking very preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Anita gave Draco a hug.

Draco hugged Anita tightly, Anita felt his body trembling slightly, after a while, Draco said palely, "I may know the reason why Slytherin restricts the wizard population. "

"What is it?" Anita asked.

"Leon might be a Squib."
