I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

Any doubts, as long as the results are good, then all doubts will disappear.

Whether they are seventh-grade students or fifth-grade students, they are facing two important exams. After Professor McGonagall got all the results, the first thing he wanted to do was to compare them with previous results.

The fifth grade students took the O.W.L. exam, and compared with last year's scores in the Transfiguration class, they were pretty much the same. Professor McGonagall didn't pay much attention to it. She estimated that she would be able to enter her advanced training class next school year. Students shouldn't have too many ups and downs. She looked at the test results of the seventh grade students again, and then looked at a few students with poor grades, thinking that next year she would only have two or three students who would delay graduation. This happened almost every year, and for Professor McGonagall, It's something that's become commonplace.

Finally, she accidentally pulled out the transcript of Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and after a simple scan, Professor McGonagall showed an astonished expression.

"Unexpectedly..." A trace of guilt flashed on her face, and there was also thought. "Perhaps, that guy's teaching method also has merit."

Dumbledore naturally knew the result, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Faced with many doubts and huge pressure, Dumbledore was also feeling uneasy, but fortunately, he finally achieved a good result.

So, at the Hogwarts dinner, Dumbledore sat down with Salazar and chatted happily.

"The number of fifth-grade students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this time is twice that of before. Seventy percent of the students actually passed."

Salazar was a little surprised when he heard this ratio: "Only 70%?!"

Dumbledore explained to Salazar in a low voice: "This subject still pays more attention to practice, so the written test score only accounts for 40%. Although most students' written test scores are very good, their practical performance is still somewhat unsatisfactory. , so when considered comprehensively, there will be points deducted.”

Moreover, the wizards responsible for invigilating the exams could not really allow a large proportion of students to pass. There must be limits to this. Dumbledore did not tell Salazar what was agreed upon.

"The good news is that this year's seventh-grade students have not failed the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Although some students failed several other courses, to be honest, the worst among them were a little shocked. The teacher who invigilated the exam, so almost all of them got the exam certificate. A few students who could pass or failed still got a passing certificate thanks to Dumbledore's efforts.

"Look next semester..." Dumbledore still hoped that Salazar could be in charge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for grades 5, 6, 7 and 3 in the next school year. Then, as expected, he saw Salazar shaking his head in refusal.

Dumbledore felt a little regretful, but did not ask Salazar again to agree to his request.

There is actually vague news about the results of this exam. After all, most students will be notified of the actual results during the holidays. However, those students who have graduated, especially those whose families have some connections, will secretly inquire about their children's results. The general situation is that the wizard who invigilates the exam is not a loner, so he will reveal some details.

This made Salazar's reputation as Professor Brown suddenly become more prestigious in the eyes of parents.

Who doesn’t know that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts changes every year on average, and the results of this major subject are somewhat difficult to describe every year. After all, it is difficult for students to learn anything because professors change frequently. Now a professor suddenly appears and takes over the class for two or three months to make up for the student's deficiencies. Even if they know from their own children that this professor is extremely strict, for parents, any professor who can help their children get a passing certificate is considered a famous teacher, an absolute famous teacher!

Dumbledore returned to the principal's office and threw the dozen letters directly into the fireplace, letting the fire in the fireplace burn clean.

The Sorting Hat knowingly asked, "What kind of letter is that?"

Dumbledore smiled and said: "It's a letter of advice that I hope I can let Slytherin continue to serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the next school year."

The Sorting Hat immediately said cheerfully: "I knew it was like this. Now you know a little bit about Salazar's teaching level, right? Although he looks very strict, Salazar is very strict, and he is very hands-on in teaching students." Ah, students will make significant progress in a short period of time!”

Dumbledore pretended to be curious and asked: "The other three professors are also very good, right?"

"Of course!" The Sorting Hat is very willing to share with Dumbledore things about the four founders of Hogwarts, especially about the master Godric Gryffindor. No matter what reason Dumbledore is willing to guide The Sorting Hat said this, and the Sorting Hat himself couldn't help but share these past stories.

Especially someone like Dumbledore who listens well and speaks placidly.

On the other side, Salazar was thinking that the vacation was about to begin, and he had to think about other things.

Angus thought he was going back to a thousand years ago, so he packed his luggage, but was stopped by Salazar.

"Aren't you going back this holiday? Why?!"

Salazar looked Angus up and down and said, "You need to learn something."

"what?"

"dark magic."

Angus didn't get used to it and almost immediately wanted to refute why he wanted to learn some black magic. Then he came back to his senses under Salazar's gradually cold gaze.

"Dark magic...oh...is that so?"

He hesitated and did not dare to refute.

"Assuming you still know your last name, right?" Salazar snorted, successfully making Angus' little face turn pale.

Yes, Angus remembered that his surname was Slytherin, and Slytherin was a standard black magic family. It was said that the wizards of the Slytherin family had no other attributes except dark wizards.

"Is it a spell similar to the Death Curse?" Angus said hesitantly, thinking about the things listed in the book. "But if it's those, how can I contact them?"

"Spiders and mice are all fine. Do you think I will force you to test on living people from the beginning?"

Angus first breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the second half of Salazar's sentence. He asked in a weak tone: "Then, will you let me test on living people?"

Salazar stared at Angus's evasive eyes and answered neatly: "Yes, after you get the spell more accurate, there will be such a hunting target."

Angus trembled.

"Do you think killing is unacceptable?" Salazar could understand that Angus, a child who had been cared for and raised, would not be able to accept it for a while, but that was something Angus was bound to experience, and he would not hide it from Angus. "Godric dotes on you so much."

Angus couldn't understand this, he looked at Salazar with confusion in his eyes.

"What, you don't believe it? That guy killed someone at the age of ten, and you're still at your age and you're not stained with blood. Isn't that too pampering?"

Angus's eyes were round and full of disbelief.

"It's Helga who you think is the gentlest, your godmother. She was in her early tenth year, and she also experienced such an assessment. This was one of the assessments of the wizard family for the next generation. In that era, if you didn't kill someone, someone else would. You, the cowardly offspring, don’t deserve to live.”

Salazar paused briefly and looked at Angus with a look of fear on his face.

"Did Godric really never teach you this?"

Seeing Angus slowly shaking his head, Salazar couldn't help but have a headache.

"Okay, so Helga and Rowena didn't tell you?"

Angus was silent.

"It's all unreliable," Salazar complained.

"I know what they think. If our calculation can succeed, maybe your next generation will not need to grow up in such a cruel way, but... your surname is Slytherin, Angus." Salazar's eyes were half closed. . "The heads of the Slytherin family in the past generations all climbed up to the throne on the ladder of accumulated corpses."

Angus wanted to say that he had never thought about being the patriarch of Slytherin, but looking at Salazar's eyes as dark as the abyss, he found that he did not have the courage to speak at all.

"You can give up, but at the same time, don't give up your surname as Slytherin. Maybe after I go back, I will discuss it with Godric, and you can go with his surname, Gryffindor."

Angus trembled and did not dare to speak.

With an aura like winter ice and snow, Angus shivered under Salazar's gaze. At this moment, he finally understood why those wizards looked so fearful when they mentioned Salazar Slytherin.

He had never seen Salazar Slytherin like this.

"I can give you some time to think carefully about whether to be Angus Slytherin or Angus Gryffindor. It all depends on your own choice."

Salazar stood up and planned to leave.

"If you want to continue being a child, go back and tell Godric that I don't recognize you as a Slytherin, and he will make a good arrangement for you."

"Tomorrow morning, yes, neither you nor Tom will go on the Hogwarts Express. When you go back to the dormitory at night, remember to inform Tom, don't have breakfast tomorrow morning, I'm going to kill someone, don't worry." Salazar told Ange Si chuckled. "It's me who kills people."

Only after Salazar had left for a long time did Angus feel that his body had become a little warmer.

He almost immediately wanted to escape back a thousand years ago, to find Rowena, to find Helga, and even to ask Godric. He didn't want to be so cowardly, and he didn't want to appear so cowardly, but if If you choose to stay, your future will become so terrible.

This was something Angus had never imagined.

"Why is my last name Slytherin?" he whispered, with endless fear. "Obviously my surname can be Gryffindor, so...it was like this from the beginning. It's impossible for him not to know what this surname represents..."

Tears fell in big drops, fell on the stone steps, and disappeared quickly.

But Angus only felt cold all over.

"Godric...you never gave me a choice from the beginning!"

He sobbed quietly.

Angus knew that he had no choice. Even if Salazar said he was given a choice, his surname was Slytherin, not Gryffindor! Godric didn't give him the last name Gryffindor!

He was Salazar Slytherin's heir from the beginning, not Godric's.

Angus thought that he finally understood why Godric would not be as gentle and close to him as he was to Helena, because he was sacrificed in the first place.

Even if Godric and the four of them have any plan to subvert the wizarding world, this plan will require a suitable heir to continue their ideals after any accidents happen to them or even just a long time.

But this heir is definitely not a helpless or to be said to be ruthless existence.

I don’t know if they thought about how to choose at the beginning, but it is naturally the most suitable for this successor to choose one from the descendants of four people and then cultivate it personally.

And they happened to have two candidates - Angus and Helena.

There is no doubt that Godric chose Angus, and Salazar also understood that Godric chose Angus, and he was also the real teacher who personally cultivated the heir, as the four of them had tacitly introduced.

Godric did not raise Angus because he understood that the successor did not need his intervention. Helga taught Angus what planning was because she was such a witch who was good at disguising herself but also good at conspiracy. Roy Na taught some magic and broadened Angus's horizons. She guided Angus to think about the intricate relationships between wizards and the entangled interests involved.

And Salazar is the last one. He wants Angus to learn to kill.

No one knows that in an ordinary afternoon, someone has to grow up and transform from a child into a hypocritical adult.

When Angus staggered away from this bleak corner, Salazar turned around again and walked to this corner.

"Sure enough, he is still a child..."

Salazar whispered, looking at the stone steps still bearing water stains at his feet.

"It's really too much. You actually ask me to break this false barrier and let me be this evil person? Do you three think that I can't get through it for the time being, so you leave such a troublesome matter to me?"

Salazar's tone was complaining, and he relaxed his shoulders, showing a helpless expression.

"You can worry less if the evil one lets me do it... Especially Gordy, it's obviously appropriate for you to do this. Be careful, I'll go back and kill you!"

Salazar raised his head and looked at the setting sun. The afterglow fell on him, gradually taking away the last trace of light.

There is no room for innocent children in troubled times.

The wizard's crisis is not only those external enemies, but also the almost never-ending struggle for power internally.

Salazar and the others just wanted to change the world. They thought that might not be possible and that they might fail, but he and Godric saw Hogwarts a thousand years later.

Doesn't that mean they still succeeded?
