Chapter 58 - The Four Founders Test (1/2)
”So I suppose we'll be watching those brats,” Salazar said pointing to Chris, Hermione, and Kristine. ”Damn you guys for making me give you my locket,”
”Yes and I'm hoping that they succeed in whatever they have to do,” Rowena said. ”I'm suspecting that if they lose, it won't be just them who face the consequences,”
”You are partly correct,” Prometheus said his voice vibrating throughout the entire space.
”Prometheus?” Kristine asked surprised.
”Hello Kristine,” Prometheus said. ”So hello four founders of Hogwarts. I am Prometheus,”
”The one in the Muggle Greek mythology?” Rowena asked.
”Yes, I am the titan that have stolen fire from Zeus and gave it to human kind,” Prometheus said.
”Alright Prometheus, so why have you brought us here?” Godric asked.
”It is not I who brought you all here. It is the diary that brought you here. And this space is technically a part of the dimension you created. The diary just created a space separate from your home in the woods,” Prometheus said.
”So what does that damn diary want?” Salazar asked. ”We've been dead for centuries. We could bȧrėly form as mist outside this dimension,”
”Salazar let's not be insulting,” Helga said. ”No conversation can progress by showing hostility. So Prometheus, what is our role here?”
”Simple, you are the judge and the maker of your own test,” Prometheus said. ”When you have created your houses, you have had requirements for students in order to be accepted to your house. These kids will have to take these tests and everyone here will be able to leave once any one of these 3 kids pass all 4 tests,”
”Wait then it's extremely unfair!” Salazar said. ”I have had two requirements! One is to be cunning and to be able to do anything for your goals and the second is to have a wizard or a witch's blood running through their veins. Those two Muggle-born girls are already going to fail my test,”
”The diary will not count your blood purity requirement for the test. Do not worry,”
”Does the diary want something to do with 'that'?” Rowena suddenly asked.
...
Prometheus was silent for a second.
”Yes,” Prometheus finally said. ”It will require half of 'that' for its plans,”
The four founders' eyes all widened.
”Half? you're crazy!” Salazar said. ”Do you know how much of our life we spent trying find and procure 'that'?”
”Perhaps a quarter of your life?” Prometheus guessed. ”Regardless, even with half, you'll be able to do what you do normally. The diary taking half will only serve to benefit the world,”
”Then why make those unknowing kids take these tests?” Helga asked. ”If it only serves to benefit the world, we would all agree,”
