Is being the descendant of a legendary wizard so stressful?
After listening to Ms. Gray’s story, Scott thought playfully.
I don’t know if Hufflepuff and Gryffindor have any direct descendants.
Ms. Gray added: “At that time, I just knew that Medea often felt sad that she could not get praise from her father, but I didn’t know that she would reach this level…”
She turned to look at the Ravenclaw portrait.
“You know, mother, the purpose of the oath she signed with you.”
She said firmly.
“I can’t believe you didn’t see through her mind. You are only irrational when you face me.”
“Of course I know her purpose.” Ravenclaw said calmly, “But the conditions for the oath to work are too stringent. I thought she would not have the chance to wake up completely.”
Scott stood aside and looked at them with confused eyes.
He wanted to say…
The Riddler gets out of Hogwarts!
“Oh, sorry, Scott.” Ms. Gray looked at Scott.
Noticing the look in his eyes, she seemed to come to her senses.
“I should make it clear to you.” She said apologetically.
“I really only understood the outline,” Scott said.
Although some things could be inferred based on their conversation, Scott also wanted to hear the details.
It’s okay to satisfy your own gossip.
“That was before I made the mistake.”
Ms Gray said.
“Slytherin suddenly left without saying goodbye, which was a big blow to Medea. She knew that she had no chance to get the praise she wanted again.”
She seemed lost in memories.
“She truly believed that one day she would make Slytherin proud of her daughter.”
Scott said: “I remember she said…she once asked you for help?”
“Yeah, she’s so proud.”
Ms. Gray said sadly.
“She wants to break the engagement her father made for her. She despises that guy Gaunt. She wants to keep her Slytherin name.”
Scott couldn’t understand it for a while. If he regretted the marriage, it would be better if he didn’t get married, and… Helena didn’t seem to be of much help.
It was obvious from his expression that at least the two ladies had read his thoughts.
“The marriage contract of that era could not be broken easily. It was a magical contract.”
Ms. Gray explained.
“She wanted me to help her convince my mother to help her break off the marriage.”
Scott looked at Ravenclaw again.
Ravenclaw smiled helplessly.
“The child of Medea once begged us, but it was Salazar himself who made a betrothal for his own daughter.”
She shook her head.
“Neither I nor Helga, nor Godric, we have the right to interfere in the marriage of two wizarding families.”
“Why did Slytherin do that?” Scott didn’t understand. “After all, he named his daughter Medea, didn’t he?”
Although his taste is a little weird, according to Ravenclaw’s explanation, he still loves his daughter.
“Salazar only considered one thing. Medea will not suffer any injustice after marrying into the Gaunt family.”
Ravenclaw sighed.
“He thought that Medea, who was of average talent, could live a peaceful life after marrying into the Gaunt family, but he didn’t know that that was not what Medea wanted.”
She looked at Ms. Gray again.
“I made the same mistake as Salazar.”
she said softly.
“We don’t know what is going on in our hearts. We are busy with school matters and always lack communication with our children, but we are all arrogant and think that we can control everything.”
Ms. Gray shook her head.
“In short, Medea’s struggle failed.”
She continued to Scott.
“After I escaped, she graduated from Hogwarts. Before getting married, she found her mother in private and signed the oath.”
“That’s when I realized how ambitious Medea was.” Ravenclaw smiled, “She is indeed Salazar’s daughter.”
Hearing her say this, Scott became more and more curious about the content of the oath.
Ravenclaw said apologetically: “It’s a pity that I was bedridden at the time and was sad about Helena, so I didn’t have much energy to help her.”
“Why did she ask you to sign a contract?” Scott was also curious about this.
Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were probably there at that time.
“Because Helga and Godric are both more principled than me. They will not agree to the existence of anything in the castle that will harm students, even if the chance of harm is pitifully small.”
Ravenclaw said bluntly.
“But I am different. Medea knows that I am the only one who will agree to her. Moreover, I am the only one who does not think that is a kind of harm.”
Scott nodded in understanding.
Ravenclaw, he understands.
Ravenclaw added: “I want Barrow to help me secretly find Helena, but Medea is the only one who can stop him.”
“Barrow?” Scott pretended not to know.
“Bloody Barrow.” Ms. Gray said coldly, “That’s the ghost in Slytherin House now.”
Ravenclaw nodded, “Barro is Salazar’s student. Medea can use her identity and Salazar’s kindness to Barro to stop him.”
Scott glanced at Ms. Gray in surprise.
She didn’t seem to understand what the connection was between her and Bloody Barrow.
“What happened between Barrow and me is not important.” Ms. Grey said indifferently again.
“At that time, I felt that my time was running out.” Ravenclaw said, “I was eager to see Helena again before I died.”
“So you agreed to Medea’s request?”
Although Scott asked this, he was not too surprised.
“Yes, I promised her and helped to hide it from Helga and Godric.”
Ravenclaw said.
“After I confirmed the content and conditions of the oath.”
“So, what are the content and conditions of the oath?” Scott couldn’t help asking.
Ravenclaw said: “The first condition of the oath is that Medea will return to Hogwarts in a special form after her death, but she will fall into a deep sleep until her descendants sacrifice their soul power, and she can really wake up.”
Soul power sacrifice?
Scott raised his eyebrows.
Could it be Voldemort’s diary?
No!
He thought again.
He didn’t know whether the diary was destroyed or not, and before Dumbledore got the diary, Milton and the others had heard the organ twice.
What was going on?
He suddenly felt a little frustrated –
Because he shouldn’t know about the Horcrux, so he couldn’t ask at this moment.
“Blood descendants?”
He could only ask questions and look forward to getting answers.
“Could it be Voldemort? But how could he sacrifice his soul?”
At this time, Ms. Grey did not disappoint him and said: “I have already checked this matter.”
