Chapter 120 Slytherin and the Dark Magic Past

While most people regard the two Weasleys as suspects regarding that attack, there may have been two others involved.

However, in the interest of adding details to the gossip,

Many students spread the news about "Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets" from their families.

So Raven became the "successor" in everyone's eyes, the guy who cleared away the dirty bloodline for Slytherin.

Well, the main audience for this argument is the group of pure-blood descendants that Slater went to,

They had always envied Malfoy for being able to connect with Raven in private.

If Raven really became a member of Slytherin, then they would have to hold Raven high.

"So Raven, what exactly is that 'Slytherin's Chamber' they call it?"

Pappy asked.

After eating the dumplings, a few people drank tea at the dining table, covering their mouths with the smell of chives.

They have also heard about what happened in the past few days.

Not to mention that this matter also involves Raven,

So Pappy was curious, and so were Jack and Misty.

Raven thought for a moment, collected her thoughts, and said.

"To talk about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, we have to mention the old guy Slytherin.

I won't talk about his life, just his habits. He really likes to open secret rooms in Hogwarts.

In addition to leaving an underground classroom to the Gaunt family, his blood descendants,

His study is right at the door of the Slytherin common room. If you have nothing else to do later, I will show you around.

secret study

That being said, I really don't like the fact that the Dean's study is right in front of the common room, it's just too suffocating.

And the secret room everyone is talking about refers to another hidden room.

It has been opened several times in history, the last time being more than fifty years ago. "

"So, does this Slytherin really hate Muggle blood? Want to remove Muggle blood from Hogwarts?"

Jack is concerned about this issue.

Raven and Pappy are both descendants of wizards with good roots. Although Misty is a mixed race, she belongs to the famous prophet family.

In this way, it seems that he is the kind of person Slytherin wants to get rid of.

Raven, who had a lot of dealings with the old man, commented,

"Slytherin does hate Muggle blood, but it's not extreme enough to drive students away.

In those days when there was no sorting hat, each founder recruited students on his own.

At most, Slytherin himself does not accept young wizards from Muggle families.

When the four colleges took shape, the old man wanted to reduce the number of young wizards from Muggle families in other colleges.

Let the other three founders stop recruiting.

This was the beginning of his conflict with Godric Gryffindor. "

Then Raven changed the subject,

"But, as you all know,

Slytherin eventually ran away, telling his descendants the location and method of entering the Chamber of Secrets.

I don't know if his descendants have used Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets for anything. "

"You just mentioned the descendants of Slytherin? Is your surname Gaunt? I don't think I've ever heard of this surname?"

Jack wondered.

According to Raven, the secret room was opened fifty years ago, which means that there were still people in this family at least fifty years ago.

"It's normal that you don't know," it was Misty who answered this time.

As a member of a fortune telling family, although she grew up in the Muggle world, Misty still learned a lot of knowledge about the wizarding world from her aunt.

Among them is the history of each family.

"Gaunt is a cursed surname. They inherited the madness and paranoia of their ancestors in their later years. They are more extreme and cruel than Slytherin himself. They kill Muggles at will and take pleasure in torturing people."

"What about the Muggle Protection Act? This is the law of the wizarding world."

Jack recalled the law.

Misty shook her head.

"The Muggle Protection Act was strictly enforced after World War II, I mean, World War II for Muggles.

Until Muggles have the power to destroy wizards, the Muggle Protection Act has always been an unsupervised act.

But even in the wizarding world, mixing with Muggles is inevitable. This is the trend of the times.

As for the Gaunt family, as the front line anti-Muggle family, they were naturally abandoned by fate and gradually withdrew from the stage of history. "

Although Misty used a slightly "magical" approach to describe the decline of the Gaunt family,

But maybe that's exactly what happened,

For these families of dark wizards who act unscrupulously and obviously have a color of black magic,

There is no concept of marriage.

Back then, Cobos Lestrange stole Leta Lestrange's (Newt's classmate, Theseus Scamander's fiancée) mother Laurenna Kama, and He gave birth to a son and a daughter to the family.

Even if it's a robbery, they will snatch an heir for their family.

Therefore, it seems to be destiny that a strong surname with a long history disappears from history and has no heirs.

"So is Slytherin really extinct? Then who opened this secret room?"

Jack was confused. Since everyone named Gaunt was dead, who else could open the secret room?

"If you look at it from the surname, Gunter is not considered a Slytherin, but the blood of Slytherin has been passed down.

Gunter is just the beginning;

Aesop Seal, a descendant of the Gaunt family, and her No-Maj lover James Stewart founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Massachusetts.

So the Stewarts are also considered to be of Slytherin blood. "

At this time, Pabbie also added some things he knew,

"When my great-aunt was studying at Hogwarts, there was a student named Ominis Gaunt. He was born blind, but his wand could replace his eyes.

This is one of the few normal people in the Gaunt family who does not interact with other members of the family.

The last news he sent was that when he was thirty-two years old, he had a decisive battle with his friend who was addicted to resurrection and became a dark wizard. In the end, both of them disappeared. "

Hearing this, Raven was stunned for a moment.

Was Sebastian Salu's mind finally twisted by black magic?

Sebastian was Raven's good friend in his previous life, and in a sense, he was Raven's leader.

It was he who taught Raven the three unforgivable curses.

Only then did the ancient demon king appear who used ancient magic to strengthen the Unforgivable Curse.

In goblin stories, he might be called some kind of dark version of Merlin.

But before Raven left this world, Sebastian still lived as a normal wizard.

Although he killed his own uncle, well...

But Raven thought this was excusable;

Although Solomon Saru was a retired Auror who hated dark magic, his skillful control of the Inferi always made Raven feel a little weird.
