Chapter 79 Ravenclaw? Ravenclaw! The Sorting ceremony for the new school year began, this time presided over by Professor Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape were standing by the door, seemingly discussing something. Bruce could vaguely hear— "You don't have to beg anymore, Severus!" Professor McGonagall was furious, "At least seven Muggles saw what they did, they must pay for their actions!" "But the car belongs to the Weasleys!" Snape argued, "I think it's enough to punish Weasley alone? Harry is innocent!" "Severus, I am the Head of Gryffindor!" said Professor McGonagall unhappily. They seemed to be discussing Harry and Ron's speeding car. Bruce stopped eavesdropping, he just sighed.
Snape is so nice to Harry! At this time, Justin came up to Bruce. "Bruce, did you visit Ilvermorny Academy of Magic during your summer vacation?" Ok? Bruce didn't know why Justin suddenly asked this. He remained calm and just said, "No, my schedule is too tight and I don't have time to go." "That's a shame." Justin said with emotion, "The people of Ilvermorny have been in a state of panic these past two months. The tomb of Isolt, the founder of their school, has been dug up, and even the snakewood tree next to the tomb has disappeared!" The grave was dug! Bruce is extremely sensitive to this kind of topic right now. Maybe they are Barbatos' pursuers again, digging graves and resurrecting corpses. But when I heard about the snakewood tree, I felt that it might not be the case. Salazar Slytherin. He thought of this name, maybe the prisoner was none other than the founder of Hogwarts. He dug up Isolt's grave not for the corpse, but to get his wand back. Now it seems that he has succeeded. "Katum, I have a question." Bruce suddenly spoke up, "Isn't Slytherin the founder of Hogwarts? Then he should be a highly respected wizard educator. Why did he behave like a dark wizard after he was resurrected?" "Isn't this normal?" Katum said, "What gave you the illusion that the four founders were kind?" Ok? Bruce didn't understand what the owl meant. If what he said was true, then the four founders of Hogwarts were still bad people? "Think carefully about wizarding history, Bruce." Katum reminded, “Think about how wizards lived in the early days.” Bruce began to recall the contents of the history book of magic.
In the eyes of many people, wizards who possess magic are far superior to Muggles. But in fact, the opposite is true. Before the establishment of Hogwarts, the living conditions of wizards were very poor. They lived in seclusion in Muggle villages, often disguising themselves as herbalists or doctors in exchange for a chance to coexist with Muggles. They have never been superior to others, but instead have been trying to survive in the cracks. The reason why this happens is that - "Spell!" Bruce suddenly realized the crux of the matter. "Those wizards back then would not easily reveal the spells they knew to others, because they relied on them for survival." "That's right, Bruce." Katum nodded and said, "Because wizards conceal the truth from each other, many powerful spells only exist in the collections of some pure-blood families and are never revealed to the outside world. "Even the levitation spell that first-year students must learn now was something that many wild wizards at that time could only dream of!" How could a wizard who only knew one or two spells possibly defeat the gregarious and xenophobic Muggles? This is a very natural truth. “But the Four Founders changed all that.” Katum said, "Look at the library in Hogwarts now, there are all kinds of banned books. Where do you think all these come from?" Bruce finally understood. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin. The reason why these four founders are great is that they transcend the limitations of the times. They integrated all the magical heritage of the wizarding world at that time, placed it together in Hogwarts, and announced to the public that any wizard could come to Hogwarts to study! Hogwarts is always open to all little wizards! Greatness does not come from strength. Teaching without discrimination, this is the true greatness of the four great founders! So now comes the problem. When the four founders were collecting all kinds of spells and inheritances, did they just tell others and the other party would hand them over obediently? It's impossible! The road to the founding of Hogwarts is a road full of blood and iron! For the sake of greater interests, the four founders joined forces and together broke through Europe, forcing all the wizarding families to bow their heads and hand over their family heritage - at least most of the heritage. How could such a person be just like the one in the portrait, with a friendly and smiling image? Bruce now completely understood why Godric and Salazar, who were lifelong friends, ended up breaking up. Because Salazar had a change of heart. He went against the principle of Hogwarts that all people are taught without discrimination and opposed Muggle-born children from entering Hogwarts.
This behavior is tantamount to letting the founders' common wish go down the drain. "So, everything Salazar does now is just to realize his original ideal?" Bruce asked, "Creating a new Hogwarts?" "I don't know, maybe he has a deeper reason." Katum shook his head, not wanting to go any further into the issue. He is not Salazar, how can he know what Salazar is thinking. "The only thing that is certain now is that Rowena and Helga will not get involved with Salazar." Katum was actually a little curious. Salazar has already gone to the United States and got his own magic wand, so where are the other two founders? After Jason leaves, they should slowly find their true selves again. It shouldn't be possible that there has been no news for so long. At this moment, during the Sorting Ceremony, the Sorting Hat suddenly called out a name - "Ravenna Royale!" Katum turned around suddenly and looked at the first-year wizards. A little witch with long black hair walked out from the crowd. Although she was young, she was already a beauty. But when he looked at others, there was a hint of ridicule and contempt. Ravenna sat on the chair and Professor Flitwick picked up the Sorting Hat and prepared to put it on her head. But before the Sorting Hat even touched her hair, it shouted out - "Ravenclaw!" The long table of Ravenclaw House immediately erupted in warm applause, welcoming the cute little witch to join them. "Oh my God!" The owl covered its face with its wings. No need to guess anymore. He knew the whereabouts of one of the founders. (End of this chapter)
