Chapter 164: Slytherin's Son?
In everyone's eyes, Rove is the very suspicious wizard.
He is handsome and eye-catching, and when he is placed in the crowd, he can also notice at first glance that his strength is outrageous......
Such an outstanding teenager, everyone has no impression of him at all, and no one knows which academy he is, as if he appeared out of thin air...... It's so suspicious!
But no one dared to say that the theft had something to do with Rove, and Lestrange was beaten up, and no one wanted to follow in his footsteps.
In addition to the school rules, the biggest thing in Hogwarts is strength, and everything else is not very easy to use.
Hearing that Professor Ravenclaw had lost important items, the students went to the office to see the excitement...... Ahh
Rove followed the crowd as well, and Cassandra stabbed him with her elbow and asked in a whisper:
"Hey, are you sure it has nothing to do with you? If it's related, you'd better run away. ”
Rove was speechless and said, "Do I look like a bad guy like this?" ”
"But you're suspicious." Cassandra squinted and looked at Rove through thick glasses:
"I know of a kind of criminal who, after doing something bad, will come back to the crime scene as if nothing had happened, admiring his masterpiece."
"Cassandra, we've only known each other for two hours, and we've been together for so little that our understanding of me is superficial." Rove sighed softly:
"When you get to know me in the future, you will know that I am an honest and autistic good boy.
I'm a standard Hufflepuff. ”
"Don't tell bad jokes." Cassandra said with a look of disbelief:
"You may be a student at any house, but you can't be a Hufflepuff house, you're not an honest person."
"Don't you have a heavenly eye?" Rove smiled and said, "You can do your own divination?" ”
"I've tried it a long time ago." Cassandra stared at the handsome young man with big eyes and a puzzled look in her eyes.
"I want to look at your past and future with heavenly eyes, but it's all blank, and you seem to suddenly appear in this world, and you haven't had time to leave too many traces."
Rove raised his eyebrows, Cassandra's level of divination is okay, he really doesn't belong to this time and space.
"I've only seen this happen to two types of people." Cassandra lowered her voice and said:
"Newborn babies and old people who are about to die: the former has no past, the latter has no future.
You have neither...... Eccentric. ”
Curiosity flashed in Cassandra's eyes, she stared at Rove, pursed her lips, and asked:
"Who the hell are you? Where did it come from?! ”
Rove smiled and said, "Guess? ”
Cassandra snorted disdainfully, she looked at Rove for a long time, then turned her head and said vaguely:
"Don't be complacent, I'll know sooner or later!"
By the time they arrived at the Ravenclaw office, the door was already full of students.
The prefect is maintaining order and dispersing all the onlookers.
Rove was standing on the periphery, unable to see anything, and he was about to fly up, glancing to see if there was Helena, when he saw the crowd subconsciously move sideways from side to side.
Until something "surfaces".
It was a magical creature with silver-gray scales and a tail whisker at the end of its belly, like a fish.
It scurried through the crowd until it finally came to Rove's side, flew around him, sniffing vigorously.
It smelled a familiar smell.
"That silverfish from Ravenclaw?"
Rove narrowed his eyes, he reached out and the silverfish landed in the palm of his hand, touching it lightly with his tail whiskers.
Silverfish are magical creatures that live in books and feed on the magic of words and can swallow them.
It also has an extremely long lifespan, with a whisker growing every 100 years.
When Rove was in his first year, he caught a silverfish with nine whiskers in the Hogwarts library.
Helena later confirmed that the silverfish, which was at least 900 years old, was raised by her mother, Ravenclaw.
Rove didn't expect that one day he would be able to see it as a child.
The onlookers were a little shocked when they saw this scene, this silverfish has a bad nature, and likes to steal and eat the homework written by others, creating the illusion that it has not been written.
It was the first time they had seen this guy so close to a wizard other than Ravenclaw.
Who the hell is this mysterious teenager?!
The door to the office was opened, and a chubby witch with bright red hair, leaning against the door, looked at Rove with interest and asked:
"Kid, which house are you a student at?"
Rove, who had seen the portrait of the witch countless times in the common room, bowed slightly, and replied politely:
"Professor Hufflepuff, I'm a student at Hufflepuff House."
There was an uproar among the students around, you Hufflepuff again? In just over an hour, the identity has changed four times!
"Students of my academy? Then why don't I know you? Hufflepuff tilted his head and said, "Come on in, I have something to talk to you about." ”
Rove walked down the narrow passage towards the office, and with a creak, the door was closed again.
Only a group of talking students remained.
After Rove walked into the room, he looked around, it was a large room, decorated much like the Ravenclaw common room:
A circular room, full of ethereal atmosphere, with an elegant arched window open on the wall, hung with blue and bronze curtains.
The ceiling is domed with stars painted on it, and the dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars.
In addition to Hufflepuff, there is a witch sitting in the room, who is watching a crystal ball.
Ravenclaw was instantly recognizable, fair-skinned, with large, bright eyes, straight black hair loosely spread over her shoulders like a waterfall and down her waist along her back, her tail tied with a red gold rope.
Ravenclaw is similar to Helena, but she is more beautiful than her, and she exudes an intellectual aura from top to bottom.
While Rov was looking at Ravenclaw, the two witches in the room were also looking at her.
Hufflepuff's first words made Rove look confused.
"Are you Salazar's son? Have you grown so big? ”
“……”
Rove looked at Hufflepuff in amazement.
"I just saw you fighting Lestrange through the crystal ball." Hufflepuff laughed:
"You're a Parseltongue, and I can't think of anyone other than Salazar Slytherin's son."
"Rowena, it seems that guy drank the same water there as you did, got pregnant out of wedlock, and got an unknown child."
Ravenclaw's eyes moved away from the crystal ball, and she glanced at Rove faintly:
"Helga, he's not Salazar's son, Salazar looks like a skinny monkey, look at him again...... So handsome. ”
"You can't say that." Hufflepuff shook her head and said, "Helena inherited your looks, but not your wisdom.
This child may have inherited Salazar's wisdom, but not his appearance. ”
"Professor Hufflepuff, I'm not really a Slytherin son." Rove was stunned and said, "My name is Rove Scamander. ”
"Scamander?" Hufflepuff frowned and said, "When did Aguba have another son?" ”
Ravenclaw held out her hand, and the silverfish returned to her palm, hissing in her ear.
After a moment, Ravenclaw suddenly said:
"Helga, he's coming from the future...... From a thousand years later. ”
