I was expelled from Hogwarts?.

"Ten thousand years ago, a doomsday catastrophe came, destroying the magical kingdom that ruled the world."

Bagshot slowly told the past history in a deep voice.

"After the doomsday catastrophe, the remaining ancient wizards wanted to continue to rule the world, but they were resisted by the slaves of humans, goblins, giants and centaurs.

They formed a coalition and won every victory, but when they faced the last ancient wizard, they couldn't kill him no matter what.

The coalition finally made a weapon, cut his body into five parts, and sealed it in five wooden coffins..."

The old man patted the wooden coffin and said, "This is one of the coffins!"

Bagshot's description is not much different from what Hufflepuff said. Rove thought for a while and said curiously:

"Madam, where did you find this wooden coffin?"

"And here comes another mystery." Bagshot hunched over, holding a candle, and walked toward a bookshelf against the wall.

"After the war with the ancient wizards, representatives of humans, goblins, giants, and centaurs held a far-reaching meeting.

Of course, the representatives who attended the meeting at that time probably didn't realize that that meeting would determine the pattern of the magic world for ten thousand years to come. "

Trembling, the old man pushed open a cabinet and found a dusty book with a rotting cover.

"This book was written by Agenor Peverell, who participated in that meeting and recorded the content of the meeting on parchment."

Bagshot blew off the thick dust on the book and carefully turned the pages with one finger. She looked at the faded handwriting and read:
"During the meeting, representatives of various ethnic groups had disagreements over the handling of the wooden coffin."

"The goblins showed their greedy nature. They thought they had done the most. Not only did they ask for two wooden coffins, but they also wanted to take the weapon that divided the wizard's corpse for themselves."

"The goblin's request made the representatives of other ethnic groups very dissatisfied. Everyone cursed, or argued, and yelled at each other at the meeting..."

After Bagshot finished reading, he put down the book, sighed softly and said:

"The meeting was held three times in a row, and finally the talks collapsed, and the coalition forces also fell apart overnight."

"Then... the war broke out again, but it was no longer between the coalition forces and the ancient wizards, but between the coalition forces. They fought the world upside down and blood flowed like rivers."

When Rove heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:

Humans, goblins, giants and centaurs united to overthrow those ancient wizards who were aloof, regarded all ethnic groups as slaves, and controlled life and death wantonly. They turned around and beat them to pieces for the "trophy".

Ironic.

The most uncomfortable thing is probably the ancient wizard who was dismembered. The enemy he couldn't deal with would collapse in this way... It's really a bit of gray humor.

"Ma'am, who won that war in the end?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Of course it's us." Bagshot seemed a little tired. She walked towards a chair and said slowly:
"Our ancestors made a secret agreement with the giants, they can get the amazingly powerful weapon, so we got the support of the giants.

Seeing that the horses were unfavorable, they also turned against us at the critical moment. Under the joint attack of the three parties, the goblin was finally defeated and surrendered. "

Bagshot sat relaxed on a high-backed chair. She raised her head, opened her white eyes and said:

"In return for surrender, the centaur got a wooden coffin, the giant took away the weapon, and we took the other three wooden coffins."

"And the goblins... got nothing but were forced to submit to us.

So, after the kingdom of the ancient wizards perished, our ancestors took over their titles and became the 'wizards' of the new era and began to rule the world.

And the descendants of the earliest batch of wizards have become prominent pure-blood families in later generations! "

Bagshot paused for a moment, as if waiting for the three of Rove to understand the content before continuing:

"As for the goblins, they have had a deep grudge against us ever since. Although they surrender to the wizards on the surface, they always want to overthrow our rule in their hearts.

This is also the real source of goblin rebellion for thousands of years! "

Listening to these contents that would never be recorded in the history of magic, not to mention Shirley and Hermione, even Rolf was entranced for a moment.

"I've always wanted to find out the whereabouts of the wooden coffin, to prove that ancient wizards really existed, not just legends." Bagshot said slowly:
"So, I started looking for clues in the history of magic. The easiest way is definitely to start with the three wooden coffins obtained by humans."

Bagshot took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth lightly, and continued:
"According to the records of multiple families, the wooden coffin fell into the hands of three wizards, and their names are respectively - Peverell, Ravenclaw and Slytherin!"

Rolf narrowed his eyes. He heard Hufflepuff mention this. The Slytherin family has kept the right arm since ancient times, while the Ravenclaw family has the left arm.

Salazar Slytherin once proposed to complete the body of the ancient wizard and asked for the left arm in Ravenclaw's hand, but she refused.

This is also the likely reason why Ravenclaw was killed by Slytherin.

"But it's a pity that the Ravenclaw and Peverell families have long since disappeared in the long river of history..." Bagshot said again with a burst of regret:

"Their two families are in charge of the wooden coffin, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Rove and Shirley glanced at each other quietly. The wooden coffin was not missing, but was in their hands.

Bagshot didn't notice the eye contact between the two, she said softly:

"I set my sights on Slytherin again. Although this surname has also disappeared, there are descendants-the Gaunt family."

"So, I found my classmate who was studying at Hogwarts - Lothar Gunter, and looked up their family information.

Finally, let me discover an important record! "

The old man straightened up all of a sudden, and said, "There is a wooden coffin that was given to the youngest daughter, Leona Gunter, by Ceobe Gunter as an inheritance."

When Rove heard the name, he was obviously taken aback, showing a look of astonishment.

Shirley carefully noticed the change in the boy's expression, and she asked in a low voice, "Rove, have you heard of this name?"

Rove nodded.

"When I was a child, I heard my grandma tell the story of the founder of Ilvermorny, Aesop Sir, whose mother is Leona Gunter."

"That's right," said Bagshot. "And do you know how Isol's parents died?"

"When Aesop Searle was five years old, her parents died in a fire." Rove said familiarly: "When she was a child, she was adopted by her aunt Gormley Gaunt."

"And according to the stories in Ilvermorny, it was her aunt Gormley Gaunt who set the fire that killed Aesop Searle's parents."

Both Shirley and Hermione looked surprised.

Hermione was even more puzzled: "Why did Gormlaith Gaunt kill her sister and brother-in-law?"

"Maybe it was because of the wooden coffin, or maybe it wasn't. We don't know the real reason," Bagshot said.

"But with the death of Leona Gaunt, the coffin undoubtedly fell into the hands of her sister, Gormley Gaunt."

"Gumlei Gaunt adopted his niece Aesop Searle, and later Aesop Searle escaped and went to the New World on the famous Mayflower.

And Gormley Gaunt chased and killed him all the way, and was finally killed by Aesop Searle. "

Bagshot raised his head and stared at the wooden coffin with his blindfolded eyes.

"Gumlei Gaunt died suddenly, and she has no offspring. I speculate that the wooden coffin is still hidden in her home."

"But she has been dead for hundreds of years. Among the living, no one knows the exact location of her home. They only know that it is in the Comgary Valley in County Kerry, Ireland."

"I investigated for many years, consulted a lot of information, and asked a lot of ghosts before I determined the approximate location of Gormley Gaunt's house, and asked Aberforth to help me break the magic around the house."

Bagshot sighed: "I didn't expect him to find this wooden coffin in the house!"

After listening to Rove, he couldn't help admiring Bagshot's patience, carefulness, and ability to unravel.

Then the question comes:

Who destroyed this wooden coffin? Where did the right arm of the ancient wizard in the coffin go? !
