Chapter 103: Running in the Sunset, That's My Lost Youth......
"It seems that Gryffindor and Slytherin are not as incompatible as everyone thinks," Dumbledore said with a little emotion, "This is clearly a letter of apology, but it is written as young as a student, and I really can't imagine it." ”
"How boring are you, or do you have a penchant for breaking student letters!" Hearing this, Severus sneered, "I didn't expect our principal to have such a habit, it seems that the outside world's slander of you still has some justification." ”
"Hehe, Severus, that's how you are, if you had this writing back then, maybe Lily would ......"
"Shut up, Dumbledore!" Severus interrupted rudely, "You promised not to mention her!" ”
"Okay, Severus, but seriously, you have to learn to deal with it." Dumbledore was also amused, and did not say any more, but said with the kindness of the old man.
"I don't need you to worry about my business," Severus replied, "and you'd better mind your own business." ”
This sentence finally made Dumbledore shut up, perhaps with some nostalgia or a reminder of the one who was still in Newmengard.
"Youth, always teach people to be caught off guard, maybe only when the head is full of bags can you look back and think about it, but, once you turn around, think about it, is it still youth?!"
Severus didn't bother with him, Dumbledore was just sighing to himself.
Youth is actually like this, passion, vitality, confusion, impulsiveness, hesitation......
We can find a whole bunch of words to describe it, but it doesn't feel like it's graphic.
However, people who are young and people who have passed their youth have completely different feelings.
People who are young feel that everything is in me, and only the east wind is owed;
And people who have passed their youth will always laugh slightly and pretend to wave their hands freely, as if saying goodbye to youth.
"I think of running in the sunset, that is my lost youth..."
Now when hearing this sentence, many people may only laugh, and then think of an even funnier shadow.
However, people who have passed their youth will have a sense of indescribability when they hear this sentence.
Those who have passed away are always regretful, this is youth!
And once you realize it, your youth is over.
And Salazar. Slytherin and Godric. The same is true of Gryffindor's youth, but there are more and bigger scenes than ordinary people, except for the experience of some magic, nothing else.
Godric from the swamp and Salazar from the quagmire go from enemies to friends, and they experience impulsiveness and passion, which, combined with the similarities between the two, makes them confidants.
So, the two left their families, abandoned their wives and children, and came here with two other like-minded partners in order to realize their ideals.
They crossed swamps, climbed mountains, crossed forests, crossed lakes, and eventually, they came here, and together they found Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
At that time, the eldest Hufflepuff of the four was only thirty years old, the rest were only in their twenties, and the youngest Gryffindor was only in his early twenties.
They spent the happiest years at Hogwarts, and although the conditions were poor and although there were not many students, it was the life they wanted.
A few years later, the disagreement arose, and as Hogwarts' reputation grew, so did the number of young wizards who wanted to study here, bringing not only their own kind, but also enemies.
Because of this, Salazar and the rest of the group had a disagreement.
Hogwarts is a hidden school of witchcraft and wizardry, and Salazar's advocacy is to continue to hide, including refusing to recruit wizards from the Muggle world.
You know, at that time, it was widely believed that Muggle-born wizards were more talented, contrary to the current pure-blood theory, so people were surprised by his proposal and opposed it.
The young Godric advocated the use of force to ensure the safety of Hogwarts, which was agreed to by the other two founders.
Salazar could only reserve his opinion.
They defeated the invaders time and time again, and in the process Hogwarts became stronger and stronger, and Hogwarts gradually became what it is now: a castle.
Castles in the ancient West were not only used for habitation, but also as a kind of defense and military installation.
However, this is not enough, the castle alone is not enough.
Hogwarts' location was no longer a secret due to the admission of Muggle students, which led to frequent attacks on the school, so Hogwarts needed stronger defenses.
The story of the four dragons hunting and building the largest and strongest defensive barrier in the wizarding world is born.
That's why Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world.
However, after calming down, the contradiction was not resolved.
This is no longer a simple enrollment problem, but a new problem formed after some problems that were not originally cared about and noticed were exposed over time.
That's about the dark arts, about the future, about the wizarding world.
Godric loved Transfiguration and felt that Transfiguration was the root of magic, so Godric taught the course himself.
Salazar felt that black magic was so powerful, it was the root of magic, although black magic still had many flaws, but he still insisted on teaching students black magic, but later this course became today's defense against the dark arts class, no longer focusing on teaching black magic, but how to resist black magic.
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, on the other hand, are obsessed with spells, alchemy, herbs, and magical creatures, respectively.
This led to the different tendencies of the four, and also led to the later Branches, each leading a house, and there were Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins.
Conflicts between friends always come suddenly, so Gryffindor and Slytherin often quarrel over some inexplicable issues.
For example: "It's such a nice day, let's have baked potatoes at noon, right?" ”
The other, "Hmph, you should eat steak with pumpkin porridge in such a good weather!" ”
So there was a fight.
Then, "Gryffindor, your robe for today is really good, and it would be perfect with a green locket." ”
Gryffindor, "You have an eye, but the locket is too ugly!" ”
Slytherin, embarrassed with a family heirloom locket!
So there was another ruckus.
That's pretty much it.
By the time both of them realized something, they were no longer young, and both of them were already old men.
They have lost the passion and impulses of their youth.
Slytherin, who was nearly sixty years old, eventually found it cruel to leave Gryffindor, who was dedicated to the wizarding world, here, so he decided to do something in Gryffindor's place.
So, Slytherin ran away from home and left a letter to Gryffindor apologizing to Gryffindor.
Gryffindor, on the other hand, left as if he was angry, and died soon after in grief.
This is the story of two people, how touching!
……
"Dumbledore, are you joking? Or maybe you should be a writer instead of a professor, and it seems that you enjoy teaching those kids to write, or you might as well have English classes in other grades! ”
"Oh, Severus, I'm just kidding, trust me, it's about the same as I told you." Dumbledore wiped his eyes, as if moved to tears.
"So, tell me, how did you read so much from such a few words?" Severus angrily asked, "Did you eat too many sweets again and finally eat your brain?" ”
PS: Although this chapter is a little watery, but, believe me, I won't just water it.
