Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 109 Ghost Family

For travelers, the weather is not suitable for outdoor play at the moment.

There was a light rain in the airport, covering the romantic city of Paris with a hazy veil.

But Ulysses, who has been in France for several years in Life, has become commonplace. After leaving the airport, he stopped a bus and came to the Loire River.

When he stood at the gate of Leicesterrange Castle, his face was a little complicated.

If this is the first time I see this castle, I will feel a unique breath rushing over my face.

This is a very peculiar castle building. Its main body is a square surrounded by four wings.

Probably because of the different construction ages of each wing, they each have different architectural styles, including Gothic architectural style, Renaissance architectural style and French classicist architectural style.

When walking slowly in it, it will give people the illusion of being in a historical corridor.

The gate of the castle opened silently, and Ulysses expressionlessly walked straight to a large spiral staircase, stretched out his wand and knocked on the handrail of the staircase.

The entire stairway slowly faded from bottom to top, turning into a translucent staircase.

Ulysses walked along the stairs to a gate on the second floor.

There were two guard statues at the door, and they bowed slightly when they saw Ulysses.

The door was tightly closed, but when Ulysses arrived, he opened it to the sides, and the situation inside was unobstructed.

The hall was majestic and solemn, but no one was seen. Many exquisitely carved ornaments are scattered around the hall, and an old house elf is cleaning the floor laboriously.

It looked like a dead silence.

“Welcome back, Young Master.”

Ulysses crossed the door, and the house elf looked up, laughed, and saluted tremblingly.

“Laurent, didn’t I tell you before I left? There is only me and you in the house, and there is no need to clean every day.”

Ulysses said irritably, knowing that he was speaking for nothing. This stubborn house elf treats him respectfully on weekdays, and will never compromise on this point.

Sure enough, Laurent stood up straight and said seriously:

“As long as I’m still a day, the castle must be spotless.”

“Forget it, it’s up to you.”

After Ulysses approached, from the gate, a group of candlelights suddenly rose up, leading to the depths of the hall, and the room suddenly became a little more vibrant.

He lay on a sofa casually and shouted into the empty hall:

“I’m back, you just look at it like that?”

Laurent seemed to know who he was talking to, and quickly left the hall.

“Little Ulysses, what does it mean that there are only you and Laurent in the house? Although we are just ghosts, it is very sad that you say that.”

One after another illusory figures floated out from all corners of the hall. They floated in the air, looking at Ulysses, and exclaimed,

“Yes, it’s a bit taller, and it looks like it’s okay at Hogwarts.”

A young female ghost who looked a bit similar to Ulysses with a smile on her face, moved a little closer, and stretched out her hand.

“It’s no different from Boothbarton.”

Ulysses said casually, did not move, and let the other party put his illusory hand on Own’s face. It was obvious that the ghost had no touch, but Ulysses felt a bit of coolness.

“Auntie, my father and mother still haven’t come back?”

Ulysses raised his eyes and asked softly.

Christie Lestrange shook his head slightly, looking at Ulysses with mixed emotions, “No. Your father is waiting for you in the study.”

This sentence sounds contradictory, but Ulysses understood her meaning. He stood up and walked to the study.

A crowd of ghosts floated behind him, silently watching his back.

“This kid went out and got a lot more thoughts.”

A middle-aged ghost said.

“He is the only heir to this family. It’s not a bad thing to grow.”

An old ghost said hoarsely.

“I’m afraid one day when he knows the truth…”

Christie Lestrange murmured, but was stopped by the sharp eyes of the old ghost.

…

This is a magnificent study room.

A bright fire burned in the fireplace, reflecting the warm red of the room. Countless books were placed on the shelves, many of which were written by Ulysses.

The desk made of sandalwood exudes a faint fragrance, and some strange gadgets are placed on the desk.

The decorations inside and Ulysses remained unchanged before leaving.

On the ceiling, there was a small ball that bounced slightly. Its color is dreamlike, it seems to have a great attraction, and people can’t help but indulge in it at a glance.

After Ulysses stepped into the study, the small ball radiated a gloomy light, and then a tall wizard phantom appeared in the study.

“Father.”

Ulysses stared at the phantom, then yelled softly after a long while.

Adams Lestrange, the father of Ulysses who has only met a few faces and used phantoms to communicate most of the time, once appeared in Ulysses’ deepest subconscious memory.

Adams Lestrange’s stern face gradually softened. He looked at Ulysses and said with a smile:

“You are getting more and more like your mother, Serena will be very happy.”

“Why didn’t she show up with you?”

Ulysses asked suspiciously. In the past, every time the phantom was transformed, the parents always appeared at the same time, but this time the mother was absent.

“She has been too busy recently to get out of her body, and her temper has become a bit irritable… You know, I dare not provoke her.”

The figure of Adams Lestrange sat in a chair with Ulysses and smiled helplessly.

“you……”

Ulysses frowned, but saw Adams stretch a finger to his lips, and interrupted:

“Don’t ask. I can’t tell you yet, but I don’t want to lie to you… This is too difficult.”

“This sentence again.”

Ulysses sighed, took out the legacy of Slytherin from his pocket, and gently placed it on the desk, “I’m in the secret room.”

Adams only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and said casually:

“I never doubted this. The Slytherin inheritance was originally planned for you, and it was useless if I took it. What about the big library?”

Ulysses shook his head:

“Only the key, no address, only Ravenclaw knows, but I haven’t found any trace of her left in the castle.”

Adams narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

“No hurry, I can always find it. Is there anything more interesting at Hogwarts? Your mother and I are very boring here, and she just wants to know more about your movements…”

Ulysses was silent for a while, and briefly talked about the three members of the Shafik family.

The smile on Adams’s face gradually diminished, with cold light in his eyes, and he laughed in a low voice:

“Shafik…I see. One more thing, I’m going to find Bellatrix during the summer vacation, the one who was locked up in Azkaban… Ask her about something.”

After listening, Ulysses’ eyes flashed with surprise, but he nodded and said:

“I see.”

“Then I will leave first. In a little while, your mother and I will be able to really come back.”

Adams patted Ulysses on the shoulder, and the figure gradually turned into a stream of light and merged into the small ball on the ceiling.

Ulysses sat quietly in the chair, no waves in his eyes, and did not feel much about his father’s departure.

Since the day he traveled to the Lestrange family, he found that apart from his parents, he was the only living person in this family, and the rest were all ghosts. Starting at the age of eight, he could still see the true face of his parents, but at the age of ten, they never came back, and only communicated with him using the spirit ball they left behind.

Gemma Farley asked his opinion when he first arrived at Hogwarts and divided the dormitory. In fact, you can live with other people, or you can live in a dormitory by yourself.

Because he is used to it.
