Scott doesn't have much to do with Medea who wants to take advantage of him, let alone Salazar Slytherin behind her.

In order to deal with Medea, the only thing he did was to secretly let Voldemort's die-hard loyalist, Barty Crouch Jr., be freed early, causing Voldemort to regain some of his power early.

But this has also indirectly changed more predetermined fates, further complicating the current situation in the wizarding world.

It can be said that the revelation of the prophecy made Scott feel great pressure and taste a strong frustration for the first time.

In the past, he had always had confidence in himself, believing that if he continued to follow the rules, he would eventually achieve his goal of becoming a powerful and freest wizard.

Even the birth of Medea did not make him worry too much about his future.

But the revelation of the prophecy completely changed his situation, and the time he had to grow became embarrassing.

Now that he can't cope with Professor Flitwick's dueling training, let alone the legendary Salazar Slytherin?

In the face of the threat of prophecy, it would be impossible to say that Scott did not have anxiety.

He just tried to let himself get rid of those useless emotions and not let them affect him.

But emotions are not something that can be perfectly controlled, and occasionally they can affect his mood.

Scott reached out and pushed open a window, letting the cool night breeze pour in through it.

He cleared his mind and stood in the wind for a long time.

"Scott."

Until he heard someone shouting his name.

He looked back and saw Luna, dressed in her nightdress, jumping down the stairs behind Ravenclaw.

"Luna?" Scott was a little surprised, "You haven't slept so late?" ”

"I just fell asleep and woke up again." Luna ran to him with her slippers and looked up at him, "I was going to look for you in your dormitory, did you just come back from outside?" ”

"Looking for me?" Scott looked at her quizzically.

So late?

"I was going to wait here for you to come back, but then I was too sleepy." Luna pulled a letter out of her nightdress pocket, "This is the letter that Sawanna asked me to hand you over, I received it after dinner." ”

"Thank you." Scott reached out and took the letter.

Luna walked over to the table next to her, raised her hand to remove the wand pinned behind her ear, and lit the candle on the table.

"I think you need light?" She said.

"Thank you."

Scott walked over to the table and sat down, opened the envelope in his hand, took out the letter and unfolded it to read it.

[Scott, are you okay?]

I've been worried about you.

I've been researching based on the prophecy, and now that I've finally learned something, I want to be the first to tell you what I know.

Salazar Slytherin, he's been here before, he's dealt with us Doherty.

This is the news I got from my grandfather, and it is the news that he has been hiding from his heart all along.

In the Doherty family, only one person in each generation can know about the humiliating history hidden in the past. ］

Scott was already curious when he saw this.

[Here's what my grandfather told me.]

More than a thousand years ago, when the fairy Morgan retrieved King Arthur's body, she closed Avalon's passage to the present world.

As Morgan's servant, my ancestor, the first Doherty, was ordered to remain in the world to guard the passage of Avalon.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, Doherty became a thriving family.

The ancestors transformed the swamp on the outskirts of the passage into a sea of oak trees, and they painstakingly cultivated a sacred tree to guard the passage with the sacred tree and stone henge. ］

Scott's mind conjured up the oak tree he had seen and Stonehenge in the shade of the oak trees.

[Nearly a thousand years ago, Salazar Slytherin visited Doherty.]

Before that, my ancestors had little to do with wizards.

Slytherin arrogantly asked his ancestors to lead him to the passage to Avalon, but his request was naturally refused. ］

Seeing this, Scott was already able to pre-register the bloody storm that Slytherin had set off in the sea of oaks thousands of years ago.

Really......

[An enraged Slytherin strikes.]

His strength is unstoppable.

There is no point in resisting or concealing, and a powerful wizard can even read other people's brains at will.

Slytherin killed many of the Doherty family and stormed into the Sea of Oaks, beyond the Sacred Tree and Stonehenge.

The druid priest said to him, "Mighty sorcerer, we cannot stop you. But you can't open the passage to Avalon, it's been closed for hundreds of years. ”

Slytherin said, "I've got the key!" That's the key Merlin left behind! I got it from Merlin's servant! ”

The priest said, "But your willfulness will eventually lead to the most cruel of doom for you." Avalon is ruled by nine fairies who will give you the harshest punishment. ”

Slytherin laughed, "Fairies are just powerful witches. I've come far enough on my magic path that I don't believe there are any wizards in the world who are much stronger than me! ”

The sacred tree and the stone henge did not stop him.

Under the desperate gaze of the priest, he took out the scabbard of the sword of the lake, which had been lost by King Arthur, and forcibly opened the passage to Avalon.

The priest called the names of Morgan and several other fairies, hoping that they would bestow the harshest punishment on Slytherin, but he was disappointed.

No one showed up.

The fairies are gone, and Avalon seems to have become a borderland.

Slytherin set foot on the land of Avalon.

A month later, he reappeared, peeling off the bark of the sacred tree intact and writing it all over it.

The bark of the sacred tree, which was written all over the place, eventually became a scroll. ］

This is how [the scroll of history] was born.

Scott realized.

Slytherin broke into Avalon, read the past history and future destiny through Merlin's [Clairvoyance], and wrote them on the bark of the sacred tree to make the [Scroll of History].

[Slytherin, who brought disaster to Doherty, leaves after reclosing the passage.]

The druids, drenched in grief, could only do their best to heal the dying sacred tree.

Ten years later, Slytherin came again.

At that time, he was still strong, but he was already much older, as if he would die at any time because of old age.

He stepped into Avalon again and never came out again after closing the passage.

The ancestors believed that he buried himself in the land of Avalon.

They decided to keep silent about what had happened until they died.

This history eventually became a secret, a secret that only every generation of priests could know. ］

Scott let out a slow breath.

The prophecy says that Slytherin is asleep, so he is not truly dead.

[The above is the history I heard from my grandfather.]

But that's not entirely true, is it?

Judging by the content of the prophecy, Slytherin is brewing a huge conspiracy.

Forgive me, Scott, even though I'm a priest now, I still don't know how to deal with it.

When Salazar Slytherin reappears, both the prophesied and the dying Doherty family may be wiped out. ］

Scott raised his hand and rubbed his aching temples.

He was tired.

He had gone through dueling training this night, and he had fought Carlo, and a cold wind had been blowing for a while just now.

Now he felt the tiredness in his body pouring out like a tidal wave.

But he still brace himself and read the next few sentences of the letter.

[But I'm not going to give up.]

I don't think you either, do you?

Because you've always been so high-spirited that you don't seem to take any difficulties into account.

I've always believed in you.

That's all for this letter, and if there are any new discoveries, I will write to you again.

Sawanna Doherty]

Scott put down the letter and rubbed his temples again.

"Are you okay?" Luna, who had been standing next to her, asked out loud.

"I'm fine." "It's just too tired," Scott said. ”

"Then go to sleep." "If you go on like this, your brain will be completely defenseless." ”

Scott put away Sawanna's letter and nodded his heavy head.

"Then I'll go back." He didn't care about anything else, "Good night." ”

"Good night."

Luna waved her hand and jumped up the stairs leading to the dormitory.

Scott also returned to the dormitory with heavy steps.

Without alerting his roommates, he didn't wash up, he didn't even have time to review the contents of Sawanna's letter, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, he was woken up by a burst of cheers.

He opened his eyes and found that he was the only one left in the dormitory.

A distant sound signalled that a game of football was taking place on the Quidditch pitch.

Scott got up and took a shower, went to the kitchen for another meal, and then ran to the Requirement Room again.

When he entered Helena's study, Helena, the girl in the painting, looked at him in amazement.

"It's a rare thing, Scott, you're late!"

"Sorry......"

"Excuse me? You should talk to your mother. ”

“……”

When Scott saw the portrait of Ravenclaw, he bowed and apologized.

The Ravenclaw in the painting did not criticize him, but simply asked him, "What happened?" ”

Scott obediently recounted what had happened the night before, including the attack he had been on after dueling training and the contents of Savannah's letter.

Of course, the content of Sawanna's letter is the point.

"I see, you've got another piece of the puzzle." Ravenclaw says, "None of us know what Salazar did after he left Hogwarts, he obviously went through a lot. ”

Scott said: "From what we know in the past, and from the oral history of the Doherty family, Slytherin's covetion of Avalon was premeditated. ”

"The scabbard of the sword in the lake." Ravenclaw says, "That's why Salazar let Medea marry into the Gaunt family." ”

She shook her head.

"During those days at Hogwarts, I thought Salazar had changed a lot." She said, "I didn't expect him to be him all the time." ”
