Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 373 Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You wouldn’t have told me if I hadn’t asked you!

"Just a chance of one question?"

Levid looked at Dumbledore, and so did Slytherin.

Slytherin actually wanted to ask in person, but if he only had the opportunity to ask one question... he might not be able to ask the right question.

It would be better to see what Dumbledore says. After all, his own thinking has become rigid, while Dumbledore, the younger generation, possesses wisdom that is no less than that of the four giants back then.

When Dumbledore saw Levid and the others looking at him, he realized that they had put the choice in his hands.

He pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"

Although this may seem like an ordinary question, it is precisely the question that can reveal the most information!

Although the other party can only answer one question, as long as the other party tells him his identity, he can guess more other information based on this identity!
Ms. Paris frowned and thought for a moment before nodding. "I think I should be able to tell you the answer to this question, but promise me not to ask me anything else about me. Even if you ask, I won't answer."

Dumbledore and the other two nodded.

Seeing this, Ms. Paris did not delay and picked up her wand again.

She tapped the magic wand lightly on her body, and Ms. Paris changed rapidly!

The wizard robes on her body slowly turned yellow-brown, and at the same time, her face also changed rapidly...

A familiar and kind face appeared in front of the three people opposite...

"Is it really you?" Slytherin shouted excitedly.

Levitra and Dumbledore were stunned...

However, Li Weide reacted quickly and took out an old book from his pocket which had expanded many times.

The book opens, and the portraits of the four giants come into view...

Levitra and Dumbledore both looked at one of the paintings, and then looked at Ms. Paris...

"Helga Hufflepuff..."

Dumbledore sighed in disbelief. "I thought that when I first met Slytherin, it would be the most shocking moment of my life... I didn't expect..."

Livid slowly closed the book. "So, you really are Helga Hufflepuff, founder of Hufflepuff House... founder of Hogwarts... one of the Big Four."

The two people and the ghost looked at the Hufflepuff in front of them, with countless questions in their minds, but... their chance to ask questions had run out.

There is no doubt that what Hufflepuff cannot tell them is the secret of why she is still alive...

Dumbledore and Levid exchanged a glance. They both had an idea in their minds, but now was not the time to discuss...

"Okay! Since you are indeed Helga... then I won't ask questions about you... Don't look at me like that. You just said that you can only ask one question, only questions about you, not others!" Slytherin said angrily.

The Hufflepuff sighed, "Then ask."

"Why did I become a ghost? How did I die? Where did my body go? What exactly happened back then?" Slytherin asked all the questions in his mind in one breath.

Died in a confused state, and then turned into a ghost in a confused state after sleeping for a thousand years... This is the biggest knot in Slytherin's heart.

"I'm sorry, Salazar, we don't know much about this. You had already left Hogwarts, and the news of your death was brought back by your disciples... We only know that your disciples found you dead when they brought you breakfast that morning. You seemed to be doing research at the time... And the strange thing is, when your disciples and descendants put your body into the coffin and prepared to hold your funeral... your body disappeared... There has been no news since then..."

Slytherin was stunned. He had never expected that after so much trouble, he would meet a close friend, but he still couldn't explain the reason for his death...

"I actually didn't know you'd become a ghost before. It's just that when I came back to England this time and wanted to go back to Hogwarts to reminisce about the past, I ran into Wade at the station... I felt your... Salazar's magic on him. And the boy standing next to Wade - Tom, was obviously your descendant. I thought you weren't dead, and I happened to want to go back to Hogwarts, so I found a way to sneak on the train, intending to get in touch with Wade and Tom. I didn't expect to run into that attack... However, during that attack, I also got more information from Wade and the others... I guess even if Salazar wasn't in Hogwarts, he must have left something behind, so I just came to be the castle warden."

Li Weide suddenly realized, "No wonder when Principal Dippet asked the Aurors to check you, there was no trace of you... It turns out you sneaked onto the train. Moreover, Principal Dippet trusts you so much..."

Dumbledore now understood why Headmaster Dippet told him not to worry about Hufflepuff...

As the most benevolent and philanthropic of the Four Giants, she really had no reason to hurt anyone in Hogwarts...

"Does the senior know your identity?" Li Weide asked.

"She doesn't know. It's best to keep my identity secret... If I hadn't happened to meet Salazar today, I wouldn't have told you." Hufflepuff said, and turned back into Ms. Paris.

"I've been hiding in my Chamber of Secrets...so it's normal that you can't find me." said Slytherin.

"Chamber of Secrets?" Hufflepuff frowned. "I don't remember you leaving behind a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts... Wait! Did you build it before you left?"

"Yes..." Slytherin's eyes were a little evasive.

Hufflepuff keenly sensed something was amiss, "So, why did you leave the Chamber of Secrets?"

“N-nothing…” “No… I still remember what you said to Godric before you left! So… you really left your monster at Hogwarts? In the Chamber of Secrets?” Hufflepuff was unusually angry.

"The basilisk is gone..." Slytherin said angrily.

"Really?"

Afterwards, Slytherin and Hufflepuff briefly explained what had happened before...

"Fortunately, no one was killed... What on earth were you thinking? Are you going to bring down the school you founded?" Hufflepuff said angrily.

Slytherin was speechless. In fact, he also felt wronged. You know, in his era, no one cared if ten or eight wizards were killed.

Who could have imagined that after a thousand years, there would be a Ministry of Magic and things like laws to govern it?

In the past, if someone died in school, it wouldn't affect the school, but now... even if a student died, as long as the cause couldn't be found, Hogwarts would be closed by the Ministry of Magic...

So even if his basilisk wasn't killed, it had already lost its effect...

Then the Hufflepuffs started nagging at the Slytherins again.

After enduring for a while, Slytherin finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Alright, alright, stop talking. I don't know how many times Levid has said these things to me... No matter what, I still think pure-blooded wizards are more talented! Most of the pure-blood students nowadays have become so stupid because there is something wrong with their bloodline! These idiots have made stupid mistakes, and having children with inbreeding has resulted in each generation being worse than the previous one! Otherwise..."

Li Weide also felt that there was some truth to Slytherin's point of view.

If it weren't for frequent inbreeding that led to each generation being weaker than the previous one, as long as there were talented pure-blood wizards in every generation, and each generation had some accumulation, even if the accumulation was very small, if they had developed to the present, their families would be among the most powerful ones!
Recall that the Li family drove out Grindelwald's messenger, wasn't that the case?

God knows how powerful the foundation accumulated by these large and normally developing families over thousands of years is!
"Okay... I won't say anything about you. To this day, it's a great fortune to meet someone of the same generation, or even a former close friend. Besides, you have changed now, haven't you? Otherwise, you would not have been able to accept Tom's child." Hufflepuff said softly.

"Alas..." Slytherin sighed softly, took out a stick of incense and lit it. After taking a deep puff of the incense, he fell into memories of the past.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a green shadow streaked across the sky...

Then the senior sister appeared in front of everyone gorgeously!
Her originally pale cheeks now had some color.

Once she was freed, running could not express her joy, only flying could!
So, she directly used the flying spell she had secretly learned from Levid, and soared happily for a long time!

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." The senior student said, adjusting her glasses again.

Li Weide said: "We weren't actually waiting for you, we just happened to..."

The senior student's smile suddenly disappeared when she heard this. She ignored Levid and came to Hufflepuff, now Ms. Paris.

"Do you remember my friends? How many are still alive? Where have the living gone? And where are the graves of the dead?"

Ms. Paris took the senior's hand and patted it gently. "I will take you to see them. I know the whereabouts of most of them."

"Okay..." Thinking about how things and people have changed, the senior sister's originally cheerful mood became much lower.

She walked up to Li Weide again and handed him a small silver plate. "The conditions I promised you before are still valid. I hand over the workshop and this plate to you. From now on, those people will only obey your orders..."

"Happy transaction." Li Weide took the small sign happily.

"Deal? Maybe you think so, but I'm different from you. Strictly speaking, I still owe you a big favor." The senior student said solemnly.

The meaning of her words was very clear. That is, if Li Weide had any problems in the future, he could still come to her directly as before, but she would not say these words so clearly.

"Okay, senior sister... Well, actually, do you think it's a bit strange that both the professor and I call you senior sister?" Li Weide asked.

"What's so strange about this? I'm your senior... Besides, I don't want to lose my name. It's my fault." The senior frowned.

"Hiss... Actually, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time..." said Li Weide.

"What else do you want to say?"

"Since your original name has been lost... why don't you choose a new name?" Li Weide blinked his "innocent" eyes and looked at the senior student quietly.

The senior sister's figure suddenly froze...

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask..."

"You won't tell me if I don't ask you!"

"I...how do I know you didn't expect it if you didn't ask me?"
