Dressed as a Hogwarts portrait

Lucius Malfoy was pinching the letter that Draco had just sent from school, frowning tightly, tapping his fingers on the table thoughtfully.

This news has been spread from various wizarding families one after another, all from families with children studying at Hogwarts, the reason is very simple, the group of reckless Gryffindor students never know what secrecy is, There was a lot of yelling at Hogwarts the next day, and then the students from the other three houses, especially Slytherin, had to take the opportunity to go to the door of the Gryffindor common room on the eighth floor to stare at the three-headed snake The portrait and painting bear only the two-letter signature Death Study.

SS?

Although Slytherin's paintings are very rare to see, there are still some ancient wizard families. The Black family has a painting of Sunset Swamp, and now I'm afraid it can only be dusted with a pile of precious magic items in the old house. In the 14th century, the Malfoy family acquired two paintings from a declining ancient nobleman. They were all landscapes of lakes and forests. They were brightly colored and protected by the now-lost black magic. Slytherin's paintings are different from others. Unlike the wizards in the world, they don't like to use many colors, and they always lay the changes from the light layer by layer. It was not until the 18th century that Muggles showed a similar painting method.

Every Malfoy head has been lucky enough to have seen them in the family vault.Without exception, they have guessed what kind of person the Duke of Slytherin is. As far as Lucius Malfoy himself is concerned, whether the lake or the forest, it means that he likes to be quiet and stable and hates other people appearing in his own world. Duke Leithering was notoriously unpainted.The three-headed giant snake, such a painting is still rare, but unfortunately I can't see it with my own eyes, maybe I can use the Pensieve after Xiaolong comes back.

It is not surprising that Hogwarts has a painting of Slytherin, and it is not even normal if there is none, but what is strange is that Dumbledore, as the headmaster, was thinking about moving the painting of Slytherin to Gryffindor Goalkeeper?

Linked to another thing Draco said in the letter, Lucius had to think deeply.

Salazar Slytherin actually painted himself a portrait?

In order to protect this ancient castle, the founders, after their death, their souls cannot become ghosts, nor can they remain in the portraits. Whether the boy who looks like a squib in the Longbottom family is true or not is still a guess. Sword of Ryffindor, Hogwarts left nothing about the four founders.

Lucius Malfoy suddenly remembered the gold locket he had seen in Voldemort's hands.

The potion master he met a few days ago behaved strangely. Although he was indeed preparing advanced potions involving soul and black magic, he always felt that this noble wizard who suddenly appeared gave him a particularly ominous illusion.The next few meetings ended in the roundabout dialogue unique to nobles, and the platinum nobles couldn't find anything useful.

Wizards who are really immersed in the research of potions don't have that kind of eyes. You can tell by looking at Severus. Maybe they have a bad temper, or they are very fussy about the details but they are used to ignoring others. Even if they look at dangerous magical creatures, they can only see demons. None of the medicine materials have the kind of indifference that there is nothing, but the smile is extremely dangerous, and even the magic pressure belt has a frightening suffocation.

Aristocrats who don't get close to anyone by nature.

This was Lucius' conclusion, and he turned to find out the origin from that equally weird little girl.

But the same weird thing happened. After the first snow fell, the girl who had been reading a ridiculous book in a corner was now lying in bed and sleeping all day.The house-elf said that she hadn't eaten anything or even drank any water, and had been sleeping under the covers, and the house-elf even swore that she had never heard a word from the girl.

They are not like father and daughter at all.

He is obviously a noble wizard with a prominent background, but he never eats things made by house elves. He seems to be more willing to wander aimlessly in the Muggle world than to stay in the room and study potions.

Could it be that the Lord is hiding in the Muggle world?

Impossible, Lucius immediately vetoed it, and felt ridiculous for the idea.

Maybe he guessed wrong, they had nothing to do with the Lord?

But what did Severus mean?

The platinum nobleman thought about the matter from beginning to end, but found nothing, and had to start writing. He thought that it was necessary for him to see the potions master at Hogwarts after this Christmas.

Platinum nobles are losing sleep.

It was snowing heavily.

The fire in the fireplace is burning vigorously, and the taste of the Malfoy family is always reassuring. The thick camel hair carpet, the comfortable feather quilt, and even the glass bottle with the quill pen in it are exquisitely carved works of art.

In the middle of the night, a lot of magic was added around the dormitory as usual. As for the house elves who kept bumping into the wall, they finally acquiesced that the guest who lived in would never eat any food and drink they offered. would summon them, and there was absolutely no way that Apparition would make them do what Malfoy's master had given them.

The fire in the cauldron had been extinguished for a long time.

A thick Muggle encyclopedia was placed carefully on the small table of overturned mahogany beside the bed.

Iris tucked up at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a thick blanket, sleeping soundly in the place closest to the fireplace. She has been sleeping like this for a week, and she will not move until March next year.

Basilisks are also snakes, and even the most powerful magical creatures have no defense against their instinctive habits.

Salazar slowly pulled the quilt over his chest, looking sideways at the emerald-encrusted glass mirror beside the bed.

This is probably the reason why he suddenly admired the Malfoy family's obsession with appearance the most. At this time, he could always look at himself in the mirror quietly.Familiar eyebrows, familiar expressions, time-reversed face without faint wrinkles, no brows that cannot be stretched because of worries, and no lonely and silent cold eyes.

Ling Cha was already asleep.

Now in this body, only one person is awake.

Their 28-year-old looks can always remind Sarah of many memories when she looks at them.

He stopped reading and lay down on the bed with the slightest movement. Although Salazar didn't feel sleepy at all, his body needed rest. He looked at the mirror quietly for a long time and then closed his eyes.

Breathe lightly and slowly.

Aerys hardly had a heartbeat or breathing during hibernation, and even her body was stiff. When the cursed curtain on the bed was lowered, it was pitch black, and Salazar could only hear the breathing of one person.

Slowly move the fingers to the chest, holding the right hand with the left hand.

Only the sound of a heartbeat.

No counting, no thinking, the soft quilt under my body is as comfortable as lying on a cloud.

So the waiting didn't feel unbearable. Slowly, it seemed that the thoughts were drifting away. This kind of sleepy state was a bit hazy, and it didn't even feel real. The left hand held the right hand, and unconsciously exerted force.

Salazar lay quietly, and suddenly felt that Lingcha's consciousness was a little floating, and he immediately moved his hands away from his chest and stuffed them into the quilt.

Without the uncomfortable feeling of oppression, Ling Cha fell into a deep sleep before he woke up.

Salazar closed his eyes, quietly waiting for the dawn.
