At this time, it was officially severe winter in the ancient mainland, the lead-colored sky, the silent forest, only the foggy valley was still filled with vitality and greenery.

As soon as Merope came out of the room, he immediately frowned.She reached out her hand to cast a warming spell on little Tom, but the child deftly dodged it,

"I'll do it myself!" cried little Tom,

Merope and Mari laughed together. Severus watched Little Tom skillfully cast the wandless magic, and then grinned at his mother and elders. There was not only a bit of self-satisfaction in that smile, but also a bit of flattery and kindness. Showing off, he couldn't help being complicated.

Severus' expression just caught Mari's surprised glance, and the two looked at each other for a moment, then separated again.Ma Rui was startled at first, then understood, and finally could only sigh silently.

Who said that the professor is a science monster who doesn't eat fireworks and a lover?

People's IQ is obviously lit up in every corner of life.

Speaking of which, judging from the professor's ambitions when he was young, he should be more of a political animal.

Taking over from the Space-Time Administration and the HP World Ministry of Magic, Severus has secretly developed an intelligence organization using the backhand left over a thousand years ago. Because of this, it is really important for him to find out the Dark Lord's childhood. It's not difficult.

But, after all, this was the child he had watched growing up, and with that smile alone, Severus couldn't imagine that the Dark Lord would smile like that when he was a child!

He lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his eyes to see Ma Rui's hidden worry and warning eyes, but only smiled slightly at him.

Seeing this, Ma Rui was inexplicably relieved.

Little Tom's fate is still different, and Severus, he is not sure how sure, even if he really wants to "prevent it before it happens", he and Merope are not just a show.

This silent exchange did not hide from Merope. Although she didn't understand the deep meaning of the two, she felt that it was a safe and sound exchange, so she only trembled her eyelashes slightly, and looked out the window.

"A messenger has arrived."

Everyone in the room followed her words and looked out at the same time.

Ma Rui let go of his mental power silently, checked the eagle hovering over the boulder, and led the eagle into the valley.

The eagle let out a high-pitched cry. As a messenger of the magic world, such sudden appearance of houses and valleys is not unusual for it, especially since the surviving magic families have disguised the houses.

The eagle sat quietly on the ebony shelf in the living room, but its eyes drifted unconsciously to the bushes outside the window.

Little Tom brought him a pile of ground beef, and following the eagle's eye, he saw the tip of the old snake's tail.

Tom laughed.

Merope patted him on the shoulder lightly, and walked to Marui's side again.

"Is it Hogwarts?"

At this time, Marui had finished reading the letter, and he handed the letter to Merope, his voice already filled with sorrow,

"It's Godric, he said, and he said Salazar left Hogwarts."

Merope was shocked, and Severus was also shocked. The air in the room froze for a moment. After a while, Severus bowed his head and said,

"It's about time..."

"Is he still looking for him?"

Merope spoke at the same time as him, but there was a bit of complicated excitement in his tone.

"Mei Ruo."

Ma Rui patted the back of her hand and opened his mouth to comfort her, but when the words came to his lips, there was only one sentence,

"Salazar was probably plotted against. They believed that he was related to many dark witchcraft experiments, and many young wizards of the seedlings were victimized."

When the back of Merope's hand became hot, she instinctively trembled, but the heat never disappeared. The anger of "sad for the ancients" in her heart was replaced by reason for a while,

"And Salazar is the most opposed to taking in witches from the Big Four among the Big Four."

Severus looked over calmly at this moment and said,

"Heh, it's clear that there are four fighting for power, but in the end, only one of them becomes an ambitious man."

Merope also sneered,

"I'm afraid Slytherin House is not stable either."

Marie frowned.

Merope meant "betrayal" within Slytherin, and Severus was just startled when he heard that, with an unclear expression.

Ma Rui looked over calmly, saw that both of them were expressionless, and sighed slightly in his heart, only lowered his head and read the letter carefully, and said,

"It says that Godric sent a letter to the Gunters, but the Gunters burned the letter and refused to see anyone from Hogwarts, and Lord Salazar seems to have disappeared."

Ma Rui looked away calmly, seeing little Tom's big and bright black eyes open, he added a little water to the eagle, and then walked over from the window, holding his pale mother worriedly hand.

This silent comfort obviously warmed Merope's heart.

Merope smiled at his son and said,

"In this case, we might as well ask the Gunters first."

It has been a while since several people left the ancient continent. Since the time flow here is not proportional to the time of the ancestors of HP and the middle-earth continent, it has been more than 30 years since they came back this time.

Miss Slytherin, who came to visit Foggy Bottom, has become a fat Mrs. Gaunt. Fortunately, the Gaunts inherited Sir Marward's villa outside the "mysterious village", and they have not moved in these years.

The inquiry of Ma Rui and others received a reply soon.

At this time, the sky was floating with bits and pieces of ice beads.

A path opened up in the pure white mist that covered the mountain.

The Gunters, accompanied by Salazar Slytherin, met their old man outside the Foggy Bottom Gate.

"welcome."

Mari said, Merope smiled complicatedly beside him, and Severus bowed to the respected founder.

Little Tom couldn't help but take a second look at the old man in front of him, whose black hair was already mixed with the color of snow, but with a straight back and an indescribable aura all over his body.There was a faint feeling of admiration and closeness in my heart.He only thought that he was overwhelmed by the old wizard's demeanor, but he didn't think too much about it, only showing a cute smile.

A group of people saluted each other, and walked slowly from the ice and snow into the green and warm foggy valley.

"I really didn't expect to meet you again at this time." Ma Rui said,

In the living room, Salazar gracefully put down the teacup,

"Time obviously favors a few."

He glanced at little Tom with a smile, and Tom's eyes brightened even more.

Mrs. Gaunt looked at the child and somehow felt that he looked a bit like her seven-year-old grandson.So he smiled kindly.

Seeing this, Merope blushed slightly with excitement.

There was a moment of silence in the living room, and Mari looked at the calm Salazar, wondering if he should ask about Hogwarts, but Severus suddenly said,

"You, what are your plans next?"

Salazar suddenly laughed.

With a beautiful smile, time obviously favored himself, and the years precipitated a unique fragrance on him, and he calmly made people not notice the slightest embarrassment of leaving Hogwarts.

"Actually, you should know, don't you?"

Sarah looked at Marui with firm and gentle eyes.He spoke slowly, his tone calm and surprisingly soft.

Mary suddenly understood what he meant,

"You mean...?"

In his surprised and knowing eyes, Salazar nodded.

The reason for coming to Fog Valley in person at this time is actually very simple.Salazar didn't feel that he had delayed this world, but he had long been looking forward to the return of the dragon William and the real "hometown" of the wizard!

Merope frowned, Severus showed a complicated understanding, and Little Tom pursed his lips, but Mrs. Gaunt knew the secrets of Stonehenge long ago, so she couldn't help but said,

"Father! You?"

Salazar looked back at his daughter, his eyes were calm, but with a gentle smile,

"I've wanted to do this for a long time. Since I was a teenager, I have loved challenges, adventures, and traveling the world. If it weren't for the family, the Dark Council, and later, Hogwarts, I can't imagine I will stay in the British Isle for so long! William said well back then that he would rather die in an adventure than in Xinxiang. In fact, I have always envied that old dragon in my heart."

The room was silent.

In the past, Marui restored Stonehenge and sent away the old dragon William who would rather die in the adventure than in the castle.As William's legal caregiver, Salazar did not stop the old dragon's adventure for the safety of Hogwarts, but gave him support!Now, is it really his turn?

Marui was in a daze for a moment.

Mrs. Gunter looked at her father with gentle eyes, feeling aggrieved for some reason.

She always thought he didn't like him.Until it turns out that's not the case.All these years, she has been living in a happiness that was unimaginable before.Concerted lovers, father's approval and concern, children, family. . .She thought all of this was endless, but, but, how could she stop her father for her own selfishness?

All these years, for Hogwarts, for that person, has my father suffered less?

Mr. Gaunt gave his wife a worried look, and their hands were clasped together.

The room was silent again.

Until Merope suddenly smiled.

"It is said that Gryffindor loves adventure and has courage. In fact, in terms of courage and love of adventure, how can Gryffindor compare with Slytherin? I think your bones and blood are full of challenges, adventures, And the yearning for a whole new world?"

At the end of her words, there was a kind of pride, and Ma Rui's heart moved, thinking about the former Merope who was desperate for love, even the Dark Lord, and even Severus who was born in Slytherin. Scared of taking risks?

No, they might even be adventurous!

Salazar was also slightly surprised. He smiled heartily, and the expression on his face was somewhat similar to that of Merope.

"exactly!"

Mrs. Gunter's eyes were red again. Mr. Gunter looked at her worriedly, but his wife nodded slowly.

His father-in-law longed for adventure all his life, but he was always constrained by the responsibilities of the family and even the magic world. Until then, he finally made a decision.

Who can stop him?

What reason is there to stop him?

"Hey!" Marie sighed.At this moment, he only felt that there was a big hand called fate quietly manipulating everything.Mr. House is about to bid farewell to this era. They are probably coming back for the last time, but at this time they happen to catch up with Salazar and leave, and he also hopes to travel to another world through Stonehenge. . .

Marui couldn't help thinking, if, if, from the very beginning, he hadn't traveled through time, how would all this be different?

He glanced complicatedly at the weather-beaten but still calm Salazar in front of him, and finally nodded.

"It's also a coincidence that we also came here to say goodbye."

***

Three days later, the formation of Stonehenge was perfected again. Standing on the tower, Ma Rui silently recited the desolate incantation.

Thick stratus clouds surged across the sky.There was no light in the sky, but on the ground, there was a golden streamer swimming in the formation.

Mrs. Gunter burst into tears. She leaned in her husband's arms and watched the door symbolizing another world slowly open.

"Father!"

"father!"

She murmured, but her voice was obscured by the howling wind.

Salazar Slytherin was facing the radiant space-time passage, he took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled at his daughter and son-in-law, and turned to look at the entrance of the cave again.

The young and mad, once traveled around the world with a magic wand, and fought invincible hands; when he met his confidant, he also worked hard to gather scattered sands in the magic world and fight against the Holy See with his own strength.Once in love, once a confidant, the first truth and the last helplessness, but he never regretted it!

However, if it is destined that life will not be the same as when it was first seen, if the facts are destined to change, and the sea will change, then why can't he be back to his original self?

Salazar closed his eyes, the last flash of the man's heartless smile.

The corners of his lips trembled slightly, and finally he smiled like a breeze, opened his eyes again, turned his head and said goodbye to his friends and this world, turned around and stepped into the golden passage of time and space.

In the blink of an eye, the golden light flourishes.The wizard in the center of the formation has disappeared.

The wind whimpered for a while, and the valley was filled with the uncontrollable cries of Mrs. Gaunt.

Then, the surviving formation unexpectedly cracked and split little by little.

Ma Rui learned from Mr. House, who had just connected to the source of magic and gorged on energy, that the intersection of time and space here is no longer stable. This formation has been supported for thousands of years, and finally it is about to collapse completely.

"Yes, it's time for us to leave."

***

Snowflakes fell in the sky at some point.In a blink of an eye, the earth was vast.

Godric rode a Pegasus all the way, and when he reached Stonehenge, he was shocked to find that the valley and fog had disappeared!Even the gigantic boulder that stood for thousands of years has disappeared, and the rest are all old for hundreds of years.

"No, it's not like this, how could it be like this?! How could it be like this?!"

The ominousness in Godric's heart grew stronger!He fell off his horse in a panic, and ran frantically towards the center of Stonehenge. The abnormally thick snow blocked his steps. He staggered a few times, and he had already reached the place where the valley used to be.

"It's gone... how come..."

Behind Stonehenge was already a gentle hill, under the thick snow, except for the black fertile soil, there was not a single shrub left.

Godric only felt that his heart was cold. He turned his head and ran under the boulder, digging up the snow with his hands regardless of the frostbite, trying to find the traces of the formation that he had seen many years ago when he sent the dragon William away.

Then, he was completely stunned.

Weak, almost non-existent, this remnant formation shouldn't be like this, unless someone activated the formation and squeezed out its last bit of potential!

Godric froze in the snow.

After an unknown amount of time, he frantically ran to a nearby village, caught a man and asked,

"What about the others? He didn't go, did he? What the hell happened here?"

Everyone in the mysterious village was taken aback by this lunatic, and the elderly village chief Joseph came out with a cane and asked,

"who are you?"

But Godric didn't answer. He continued to ask his question, as if he didn't hear anything, until the crowd fell silent.

Mrs. Gaunt appeared in a thick black cloak, supported by her husband.

A pair of eyes colder than snow appeared under the black hat.

"He went, went where William went."

Godric was taken aback for a moment, turned around and rushed over,

"What did you say?! Where is your father?"

But he was running into Mr. Gaunt's defensive magic, and he fell backwards.

No one laughed.

Mrs. Gaunt tilted her head slightly, thanking the potion. She had long since lost sight of the red and swollen eyes, narrowed her eyes slightly, tilted her head slightly, looked at the man on the ground with the most arrogant posture she could make in her life, and said,

"My father is gone! He said that there is nothing to miss here. Just in time, the owner of Fog Valley said that there is a change in time and space here, and the passage can only be opened for the last time. So my father left."

Godric froze there, motionless, the Gunters looked at each other, turned and disappeared into the snow.

The snow has been falling, and the world is freezing.

His lips murmured,

"He left with Foggy Bottom..."
