Hogwarts: The Founder Reborn

On the train returning from Christmas, no one had much to say.

Salazar nestled in Godric's arms, closed his eyes, wondering if he was really asleep.

Rowena was holding a book, but her eyes were out of focus, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Godric rested his chin on one hand and kept his eyes on the train window.

The three of them didn't speak, and they were extremely quiet without saying a word. The quietness of this carriage and the one outside the door seemed to be two worlds. into this compartment.

For a long time, the three of them heard a knock on the door, but no one took any action.

Salazar just opened his eyes for a moment, and then closed them again. Rowena's eyes rolled around a few times, and she came back to her senses, glanced at the door, and her eyes fell on her book.

Only Godric withdrew his gaze from the train window and stared at the door of the carriage instead.

The people outside, after knocking on the door, made sure that the people inside would not open the door for themselves, so they pushed the door open by themselves.

"I'm here to find Phineas Black."

Godric sighed, patted Salazar, and signaled him to sit down and stop leaning on him.

Salazar yawned and feebly greeted the visitor.

"Hello, Malfoy."

Draco just looked at Godric, emphasizing his purpose again: "I'm here for you, Phineas!"

Salazar tilted his head and looked Draco up and down.

"You came here so carelessly? Aren't you afraid that those who are interested will see it?"

Draco was silent for a moment, still looking at Godric stubbornly.

Godric had no choice but to say to Salazar: "Okay, I'll go out with him, you don't want to follow!"

After he and Rowena exchanged glances, he left the carriage with Draco and closed the door by the way.

The two traveled halfway across the train and found a place where they could talk safely.

"What's the matter with you looking for me so recklessly?" Godric knew Draco very well, and he knew that Draco would not come to him easily under the current atmosphere.

"Doris should really take care of you..." Thinking of Helga deliberately staying away from Draco now, Godric felt a little headache again.

"Remember Marcus Flint?" Draco looked gloomy.

"Remember, what happened?"

"That kind of guy actually sometimes becomes a Death Eater, even though he is only a reserve."

Godric frowned, and then looked at Draco seriously.

"How did you know?"

Draco's entire face was deformed, looking very angry, he bit his lower lip, his face full of resentment.

"Draco?" Godric frowned, looking at Draco's full of resentment, he didn't know how to appease him for a moment.

"The Dark Lord intends to engage Doris to this fool!"

Draco spoke eagerly.

"..." Godric was silent for a long time, and only asked hesitantly under Draco's dissatisfied gaze. "How do you know the news? I don't know yet."

"Theodore said." Draco said reluctantly.

"Theodore Knott?"

"Yes!"

Godric pondered for a moment, then asked, "How did he know?"

"Because Doris was unwilling, she used the opportunity of recommending Theodore to become a Death Eater in exchange for Theodore's engagement with her. She wanted Theodore to be her engagement object."

Obviously, Draco, who said Theodore's name, had a ferocious face, no less than the resentment of speaking Marcus's name.

Godric took a deep breath, this news, Helga really didn't tell everyone, even he didn't mention it here, but it's impossible for Draco to deceive him with this kind of thing, so it must not be What groundless.

"Your thoughts?"

"Which one of them do you think is worthy of Doris?!" Draco couldn't help raising his voice, his eyes were red, and said. "I want to kill them!"

"Forget about Marcus, that guy is not worth it at all, and Doris doesn't like him, even if he is really engaged, that guy Marcus is not Doris' opponent, he will only be led by her nose Walk."

Then if the candidate was changed to Theodore Nott, Godric would hesitate a bit.

"As for Theodore...he told you that Doris wants to cooperate with him?"

Draco nodded reluctantly.

Godric said hesitantly: "He wouldn't be lying to you, would he? After all, Doris didn't tell me this. And... the Dark Lord knew about Doris's ambitions, and he did it because of Doris. Those ambitions, I only temporarily trusted Doris."

Godric whispered: "If that's the case, he knows that Doris hopes to get all the things of the Malfoy family with his help, and become the future head of the Malfoy family, even if he questions Doris' disloyalty, Nor would I think of arranging Doris' engagement."

Draco also came back to his senses: "It's like this... Theodore is lying to me? If Doris is engaged to either he or Marcus, she will lose the opportunity to compete with me for the future head of the Malfoy family." possible."

Following Draco's words, Godric said: "Yeah, as long as she gets engaged, it means that she will marry out and lose Malfoy's surname, so Doris has no reason to rob Malfoy's house from you. "

"Her position is gone." Thinking of this, Godric was almost 100% sure that Theodore had lied to Draco.

"But……"

Seeing that Draco suddenly realized and fell into new doubts, Godric said, "Why did he deceive you with such things?"

Draco shook his head.

Godric narrowed his eyes: "Does he want to cooperate with you?"

"Cooperate with me? Cooperate with what?" Draco was still at a loss, unable to figure it out.

Godric seemed to have some thoughts: "Think about it simply, do you think Marcus is in front of you for comparison, if the Dark Lord really wants Doris to marry, who do you think is a better choice?"

Draco replied almost instantly: "No one is good!"

Godric resisted rolling his eyes and rushed forward, and said to Draco as calmly as possible: "It should be, Theodore's image is better."

"Just him?" Draco snorted. "How is it possible? The Nott family is dead!"

"Refer to your father, many of you, or it is generally accepted that if it weren't for the daughter of the Black family, Narcissa would have to die and marry Lucius Malfoy, and Black had to transfer out to support the underage Malfoy family The head of the patriarch, Lucius Malfoy, married a good wife, so he survived Malfoy's most difficult time."

Draco sneered: "How is it possible? My mother said that she didn't want to marry my father at the beginning. My foreign father and the others persuaded her to choose a new fiancé. My father relied on his own efforts. , made Black feel that there is still hope for Malfoy, so he got a little blessing!"

"But it doesn't seem to be the case in the eyes of others, does it?"

Godric sighed, and continued: "People can only see that, they don't think about it, if Lucius didn't work hard enough to get the approval of the Black family and maintain his beloved fiancée, it's like suffering, To take the helm of the imperiled Malfoy family."

Draco frowned slightly.

"Obviously, Theodore feels that he is the second Lucius Malfoy. It's not surprising that he takes a fancy to your sister Doris." Godric was vaguely worried about Helga's situation. "What's more, he doesn't believe that your sister is the one who got the Dark Lord's mission. In this way, he is implicitly hinting to you that he can help you solve that sister who wants to rob Malfoy's house from you."

Draco struggled and said, "What did he think?"

"How did you do that?" Godric looked at Draco. "He implicitly supported you in Malfoy's future patriarchal competition, and also hinted to you that he hopes to marry Doris in exchange for Malfoy's protection of the Nott family."

Godric wanted to understand Theodore's thoughts, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"He can probably think that you will tell Lucius later, so it doesn't matter whether you can understand his thoughts or not, Lucius will understand, Theodore feels that marrying Doris is equivalent to helping Lucius By resolving the dispute between your siblings over the family inheritance, he himself can exchange for Lucius' support for the Nott family."

Godric paused for a moment: "He's also a smart person. Although he didn't expect that the sibling relationship between you and Doris is not as hypocritical as he thought, at least you are sincere to this sister, aren't you?"

Draco lowered his head and said nothing.

Godric's voice broke with the sound of the train whistle.

"I think so much, although it is not satisfactory."

Godric believed that this was definitely not the path Helga wanted Theodore to understand.
