"Nick, you said that ghost is called Gormlaith Gaunt?" Sean confirmed again in disbelief.
Nick, who was almost headless, was a little confused. He didn't understand why Sean's reaction was so big.
"Yes, even though I have been dead for five hundred years, my memory is still excellent." He straightened his translucent wheel-shaped collar and looked a little proud of himself. "Although few people know the name of the grumpy witch, but
With my connections in the ghost world..."
"I'm sorry, Nick, although I'm very interested in your story, but now is a relatively tense period," Sean interrupted Nick who was about to brag about himself, "Tell me about Gormlaith Gaunt.
"
"Oh, okay," Nick was a little regretful, but he still explained to Sean in detail, "Gormlaith Gaunt, nicknamed the Grumpy Witch - from her nickname, you can imagine what she is.
Such a person."
"There is an unwritten rule among ghosts, that is, they do not take the initiative to ask about each other's life. Of course, most ghosts don't care about this. After all, we are all the guys who will never die in peace," Nearly Headless Nick laughed at himself
She smiled and said, "Gormlaith is a violent witch. She will yell at anything she doesn't like. Moreover, she is also a pure bloodist - because of this, many ghosts have a bad relationship with her. Gradually,
No one wants to associate with her anymore."
"She has been living alone in the Komgari Valley. I was also a noble before my death, so I was able to talk to her for a few words. Although she has a weird temper and cruel personality, she does know many secrets of the wizarding world - this
That’s why I recommend her to you.”
Sean asked eagerly: "Nick, do you know the Gaunt family?"
"Gaunt?" Nick showed a puzzled expression, "I have no impression. Is Gormlaith's family very famous?"
Lack of information... Sean sighed silently. Nick didn't know much about the Gaunt family, otherwise such important news would have been told to the professors long ago.
They walked around the corner, where Hermione and Daisy were waiting.
"Nick, please go inform Professor McGonagall and repeat what you just told me." After a quick instruction, Sean pulled Hermione and Daisy back.
Nick was left standing there looking puzzled.
"Sean, what happened?" Hermione asked curiously.
"I'll explain it to you later, Hermione. Lend me that copy of "The World's Famous Schools of Magic" again."
Several people hurried back to the Ravenclaw lounge. Although Hermione was a little confused, she still went back to the dormitory and took out the book.
Sean took the book and hurriedly flipped through it.
"I remember seeing...Ilvermorny...the founder...early experiences." He muttered and found the information he needed.
Gormley Gaunt is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four at Hogwarts. Like her ancestors, she firmly believes in pure-blood superiority. She even inherited Slytherin's horn.
Water Serpent Wand.
Aside from these, her other identity is the aunt of Isolt Thayer, the founder of Ilvermorny.
However, this aunt is much more cruel than Harry's Aunt Petunia.
Due to differences in ideas, Gormlaith and her biological sister had long been strangers. When Isolt Thayer was five years old, Gormlaith set a fire in the residence of her sister and brother-in-law, and burned her to death.
He rescued the Thayer couple and then rescued the young Isolt Thayer.
The reason why Gormlaith committed this series of cruel acts was that her sister would secretly use magic to help her Muggle neighbors. This pure-blood witch believed that her sister's assistance to her Muggle neighbors might lead to Aesop's death.
Only by marrying Muggles and taking their daughter away can the child "return to the right path".
Seeing this, Sean frowned deeply. He didn't see the advantages of pure blood at all. The Gaunt family's unique stubbornness, stupidity, and cruelty were undoubtedly revealed. He didn't know that Slytherin had learned about his 'theory'
What would it be like to be promoted like this?
He continued to read.
After burning her own sister and brother-in-law to death, Gormlaith took the five-year-old Isolt back to the nearby Komgari Valley. From then on, Gormlaith has been using her methods to educate Isolt.
.
For twelve years, Gormlaith has been isolating Isolt from the outside world, cutting her off from all contact with the outside world. When Muggles or animals come too close to the hut where they live, the cruel Gormlaith will treat them.
Cast a curse and force Isolt to watch.
After Isolt turned eleven, Gormlaith refused to allow her to attend Hogwarts because she felt it was intolerable for the school to accept Muggle-borns. In her opinion, Isolt followed
She can learn more.
Faced with such a crazy and cruel aunt, Isolt began to try to escape. The second time, she succeeded and stole the wand inherited from Slytherin.
Next, there is the story of Isolt Thayer, who founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after going through a series of things. Unfortunately, her crazy aunt Gormlaith Gaunt learned of this.
matter.
Gormlaith pinched her nose and went to Ollivander's Wand Shop to buy a new wand, and then smuggled herself to the United States. She was going to repeat her same trick - kill Isolt and her Muggle husband, and then bring the two together.
The great-niece stole it.
"The World's Famous Schools of Magic" did not describe this incident in detail, but mentioned at the end that Gormlaith's evil plan failed, and she was pierced through the heart by a poisonous arrow, and finally died.
A perfect image of a villain... Sean closed the book and started thinking.
For a long time, the description of history in the wizarding world has not been detailed enough, and most wizards are not eager to learn. This can be seen from the current situation of Hogwarts - even the students of Ravenclaw, they only know
Go explore what interests you. Very few people read a lot of books.
Not many people have read the book "Hogwarts: A School History".
And Sean never expected that Gormlaith Gaunt, a crazy witch who had been dead for nearly three hundred years, would actually stay in the real world in the form of a ghost.
She rarely interacted with others and agreed to Nick's invitation on the anniversary of his death. As it happened, the secret room was opened that day.
Gormlaith is a pure descendant of Slytherin, so Parseltongue is not a problem.
However, Sean still didn't understand why a ghost suddenly came to Hogwarts and opened the secret room. Did she ever do this when she was in school?
She must be a person who is willing to do this, but why is she doing it as a ghost...
