Chapter 623 - The Third Harvest Moon Ⅲ (2/2)

”Yes,” Marcellus tiredly said as he leaned back in his chair.

”I cannot, Marcellus!” Godric roared. ”It is not in me to wait like a lamb to the slaughter!”

”I know, but Godric, Salazar is dead,” Marcellus tiredly muttered as he opened his eyes. ”I did all that I could my friend, but it was not enough to change the flow of destiny merely to swing the pendulum more in our favor.”

Godric slumps down in a chair as his green eyes fill with pain, and his head drops down into his hands. ”I should have listened,” Godric whispered bitterly. ”I thought Salazar jealous and cruel, he was, but he always acted with the best intentions in mind.”

Godric raises his emotion-filled green eyes and says, ”Then what can be done now, Marcellus?”

”We will bind Hogwarts and protect her as best as we can,” Marcellus steadily replied. ”And we shall aid those that will follow in hopes that the abomination will be destroyed.”

Godric glances down at his blade, before rising to his feet without a word. Walking over to the sorting hat, he reaches down and says, ”Little hat, I will entrust this blade of mine to you. Deliver the blade to one my blood or to one that is found to be worthy of my house. I can only hope that this will someday be enough to change the tides in our favor.”

Without further word, Godric places the blade into the Sort Hat, before the sword is swallowed, and disappears into the depth of the Sorting Hat. Gently setting the Sorting Hat back onto the bench, Godric turns to face Marcellus. ”And what of Rowena and Helga, do they know?”

”If Rowena suspects, she will not act now,” Marcellus regretfully lamented. ”Her daughter influences her far too much, and I fear that Rowena's daughter does not bear any good intentions. I have seen envy and dreadful greed in the depths of her daughter's eyes, and it is only a matter of time until a tragedy takes place.” Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/a-bend-in-time_14576125306898605/the-third-harvest-moon-%E2%85%B2_50675550427084391 for visiting.

Godric flinches at Marcellus's words as Marcellus continues, ”And as for Helga, I truly cannot say, but the house elves have bound themselves in such a manner to Hogwarts that they will always seek to protect Hogwarts first.”

Godric nods his head in understanding as he woefully mutters, ”I-, I do not know where it all went wrong, Marcellus. We were all so happy once. Did we become so arrogant in our own power or were we simply blind all along?”

”Both,” Marcellus solemnly answered as Godric cracked a sad smile.

Godric nods his head in understanding, before turning away and shutting the door behind him. The memory ends as everything goes black and Rowan finds herself plunging into another memory.
