Chapter 174 The Origin Story

I don't know if it's because of what Conno said made sense, or because of other considerations. After a long silence, Godric stared out the window, lost in memory.

He opened his mouth and made a sound like a dream, "That era was chaotic. Muggles were afraid of us, persecuted all children with magical talents, and wanted to kill us."

"We just want to let those children who can't learn magic systematically master this talent as soon as possible, so that they won't be hurt by Muggles or swallowed silently."

"Actually, it was Salazar who first proposed to build Hogwarts in this castle. Salazar hoped to create the future of wizards, and his students naturally had to have a heart to pursue achievement."

"The process of establishing the school is going smoothly. We are constantly improving the defense of the castle, making it more hidden, and recruiting more and more students. We finally have time to consider the future direction of the school."

"After careful consideration and weighing all possibilities, he felt that the castle should recruit children from wizarding families, because these children can integrate into the life of learning magic more quickly."

"So he implemented this concept in the sorting hat. He hopes that the children in his academy should preferably come from wizard families, ambitious, shrewd, and cunning."

"So most of the students in Salazar's academy are from wizarding families, which led to the isolation of the other small number of students, and even accidents."

Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows and interrupted Godric: "Campus bullying?"

Godric didn't deny it, but just coughed lightly: "Yes! Because Rowena and Helga agree with me, a quarrel broke out between us."

"I still remember the last words I said to him at that time: 'Salazar! If you want your ideas to be implemented in every corner of this school, come and beat me! Beat us!'"

"Salazar's face was very calm at the time, and I remember clearly what he replied: 'Of course it's okay, Godric! I'm glad you didn't do anything to me directly, and I'm really relieved that you would say such a thing. , There is a kind of gratification that one's own children have grown up.'”

"Ahem..." Kong Nuo couldn't help coughing twice, he now knew that Slytherin students would talk like that, and it wasn't for nothing.

This is actually an ancestral skill.

Godric continued: "After that, he disappeared and never appeared again. Even the students who were traveling abroad did not get any news from Salazar."

"During that time, I frantically engaged in all kinds of duels outside, duels with Muggles, duels with wizards, and looked for news about Salazar everywhere."

"It's a pity! He seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace of him. Later, I became the first person to retire and continue to exist in the form of a giant squid."

"I've actually forgotten the real purpose of retiring back then." There was a slight twinkle in his eyes, "But I think it shouldn't be important anymore."

"What about the Chamber of Secrets? Head Gryffindor." Dumbledore continued to ask, "What else do you know about the Chamber of Secrets?"

Godric shook his head, "Rowena guessed that Salazar might have built a secret room through a few words from the students of Slytherin House."

"For this reason, we conducted a special search, and even tried to find a way to enter the lounge of Slytherin College, but there was no trace of the so-called secret room."

He shrugged helplessly, "Maybe it's an increasingly mysterious legend, maybe... Salazar might still be alive! Who knows?"

"Then I understand." Dumbledore nodded. "The Chamber of Secrets does exist, that must be certain. But now there is a problem with the message on the wall, and only one cat had an accident."

"So whether this is someone's prank, or whether the secret room is really opened again, we need to continue to observe. At this time, we can't make a judgment lightly, so as not to cause panic among the students."

Neither Kong Nuo nor Godric had any objection to this, after all, school is a place for learning.So far there is no need to go to war to affect real teaching activities.

"What about the Chamber of Secrets?" Kong Nuo asked, "Should we tell the students about this?"

The two Gryffindor lions reached a consensus at this time: "There are many secrets in the wizarding world, and they have to explore these secrets by themselves."

Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows, "It means... we don't have to tell the secret room?"

The education he received was different from the wizards in the two magical worlds, so he still couldn't understand this behavior.

"Yes." The two Gryffindor lions nodded.

The two lions are both senior educators, and since they think this is more suitable for the magic school, Kong Nuo feels that there is no need for him to object.

"I still have a suggestion." After thinking about it, Kong Nuo said, "Although it may be just a prank, it cannot be ruled out that the secret room was really opened."

"So I hope it is still necessary to restrict the students' actions, such as encouraging them to go together and avoid being alone. Also! You can set up warning magic in those relatively remote corridors."

"This can at least serve as a warning, preventing those students from turning into human specimens without understanding like that cat."

"Of course." Dumbledore showed a kind smile, his brows and eyes were full of satisfaction and relief, "Konno, your suggestion is very good! I will arrange for the heads of each college to carry it out."

Connor and Godric left Lockhart's office, and Godric showed a sluggish expression after a long absence, like a lion who had been robbed of its mate.

When Kong Nuo uttered this adjective, he finally regained his previous vigor and replied forcefully: "Get lost!"

Godric let out another long breath, "Actually, even now I still feel that it was because of my words that Salazar disappeared."

Kong Nuo didn't know how to comfort this "widowed lion", so he didn't plan to use his own understanding to enlighten him, after all, no one can truly empathize.

Godric came to the edge of the black lake alone and turned into a giant squid again. He jumped into the lake to bathe in the moonlight, paddling water with his long tentacles, enjoying the carefreeness of being an animal.

At this time, Konno seemed to understand why he would guard Hogwarts for thousands of years, and he would do it in the form of Animagus.

"Professor Kong!" Nearly Headless Nick uttered, interrupting Kong Nuo's artistic moment.

"Nick!" Kong Nuo sighed, "I'm just one step away from becoming a literary youth."

"Uh..." Nearly Headless Nick was stunned for a moment, and didn't get the stalk of Kong Nuo, "I'm here to thank you specially this time!"
