Return of Salazar Slytherin

01- Resurrection

"What is this place? Who am I?"

The young man with a handsome face and pale skin held his forehead with one hand, his face looking painful.

Memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and then quickly receded, leaving only some basic frameworks and impressions, which just reached the upper limit of the capacity of the young boy's immature brain.

"I am Slytherin, Salazar Slytherin." The boy finally remembered his name - he is the greatest wizard in the world and one of the founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Thousands of years ago, Salazar Slytherin, who was about to come to the end of his life, accidentally found a mysterious stone. Inspired by snakes, he prepared a potion from the powder of this stone. After taking the potion, he fell into an eternal snake-like sleep.

According to the plan, while in hibernation, he will shed his skin like a snake every hundred years. With each layer of skin he sheds, his body will transform into a younger state.

Slytherin wasn't able to wake up until his body became the appearance of a ten-year-old boy.

His bold experiment succeeded.

After waking up, Slytherin fell into confusion after a brief period of joy: he didn't know what to do. According to the plan before sleeping, he only needs to wait for this body to grow into an adult before he can retrieve all his memories and restore his peak strength. But should he find something to do for himself during this time?

Why don't you go back there and have a look?

An idea appeared in his mind, and then grew like a weed inside him, out of control. He wanted to go back to Hogwarts to see what the school he and his friends founded was now like.

Fortunately, the condition of my body just meets the admission standards, and I can go back to Hogwarts as a student.

However, since it will be a "private visit" as a student, the name Salazar Slytherin must not be used, and he needed a new name.

After Slytherin thought for a moment, he stretched out a finger and drew a few times in the air.

The name "Salazar Slytherin" appeared in the air, and then the letters changed positions on their own, creating a brand new one.

The name appears-

"Rhys Chassala Lint"

Being an ancient old man, Salazar thought the new name was a good one.

From today on, my name will be Rhys.

After choosing a name, Rhys began to pack the things in the stone chamber and used magic to transform the chair into a white linen robe and put it around him.

A few minutes later, Rhys saw the sun again.

Rhys, who had not seen the sun for a thousand years, couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy the warm sunshine. The entrance to the stone chamber slowly closed behind him and finally disappeared. Everything belonging to Slytherin was completely destroyed. Buried deep underground.

The gentle breeze blew through his hair, bringing a few distant voices.

"Here is the right place..."

'What are they talking about?' Rhys frowned.

Over the course of thousands of years, the language used by the people living on this land has undergone tremendous changes, and Rhys cannot understand this strange language at all.

Fortunately, he is an excellent wizard and it is not difficult to solve the problem at hand.

After adding a "knowledge spell" to himself, Rhys finally understood those strange words and accents - the Muggles not far away were discussing camping.

Rhys's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he didn't have a good impression of Muggles, it was not bad to have a little contact with them and understand the changes in the world.

After all, a full thousand years had passed, and even a prophet could not predict a thousand years.

What will the future world look like?

He walked quickly towards the voice.

Compared with the previous time in the stone chamber, Rhys had a small brown leather bag on his waist. As he walked, it occasionally made a sound that was disproportionate to its size.

This bag contained the contents of Salazar Slytherin before he went to sleep. The living expenses prepared for his future self are all Rhys's current net worth.

…

"I'm going to pick up some firewood." As soon as they arrived at the campsite, Hermione Granger volunteered to take over the task of collecting firewood.

"Go ahead." Mr. Granger replied absentmindedly and then continued to struggle with the camping tent in his hand.

"Don't run too far, be safe, and remember to come back for tea later." Mrs. Granger, who was packing her luggage, warned her.

However, before she could finish her words, the little girl had disappeared from Mrs. Granger's sight.

...

After getting her mother's permission, the little girl ran into the woods and ran into Rhys who was coming to them.

'Hmm?' In Hermione's eyes, Rhys was a weirdo. He wore an outfit that could only be seen in history TV series, and his skin was horribly pale, as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time.

However, even though he was dressed strangely, Rhys still looked like a teenager at first glance, so Hermione did not put too much caution on his appearance and instead took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "Are you here to camp too?"

"..."

"I came here with my parents. Where are you from? Your clothes are quite retro. Are they the special clothes from your place?"

"..."

"Are you lost?"

"..."

"Speaking of which, we don't know each other's names yet. My name is Hermione. Hermione Jean Granger. What's your name?"

"Rhys Chassala Lint."

After asking a few simple questions, although Rhys did not respond to most of the questions, Hermione made her own inference: Rhys was probably a child who had been separated from his parents.

Out of a simple sense of justice, Hermione decided to take him to her parents and let them help Rhys find his family.

Rhys didn't refuse and followed the talkative little brown-haired girl back to the camp.

Mr. Granger had already pitched the tent, and Mrs. Granger was boiling water on the fire—they had brought charcoal and solid alcohol blocks, so there was no need to gather firewood to light the fire.

"You are back already? Did not you find-" Before Mrs. Granger could finish her sentence, she saw Rhys following Hermione. Her daughter didn't need to explain, she roughly guessed what happened.

She took the initiative to walk up to Rhys, leaned down, and showed an amiable smile.

After thinking that she could definitely gain the trust of the little boy in front of her, she began to ask Rhys.

"Where's your mother?"

"Dead."

Rhys told the truth.

Mrs. Granger: "..."

Hermione: "??"

"So, what about your father?" In a panic, Mrs. Granger, who felt she had said the wrong thing, quickly changed the question.

"Dead too."

Mrs. Granger, Mr. Granger, Hermione: "..."

Mrs. Granger, who was constantly deflated, really didn't know what to say, and her smile froze on her face.

Finally, she choked out a sentence: "Let's drink some tea first."
