I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Rove is very sensitive to the word prophecy now.

Prophecies in the magical world are not just tricks to deceive people, nor are they like the Delphi oracle in ancient Greece, who always give ambiguous predictions, which can be explained no matter what.

For example... Before the war between Cyrus the Great of Persia and Croesus, King of Lydia, the Delphic oracle predicted that Croesus's expedition would "destroy a great empire."

Croesus was overjoyed and sent troops to attack Persia, but he did not expect that the destroyed empire was actually Lydia.

The prophecies of the wizarding world seldom jump back and forth like this, but they will directly point to the key content.

Whether it was when Grindelwald predicted the nuclear bomb explosion nearly twenty years in advance; or eleven years ago, Trelawney made a prediction to Dumbledore about the Dark Lord and the boy... it's all the same.

So, when I heard another prophecy mentioning myself, it was a prophecy more than 600 years ago... Rove's sensitive muscles were all guilty.

"What kind of prophecy?" he asked in a low voice.

"You open that alchemy book." Nico said softly.

Rove cautiously continued to read the pages, which were full of unfamiliar words. He patiently turned to the seventh page, and a strange picture appeared.

A big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves radiates light outwards, but inside the root of the tree is a dark green snake. (picture here!)

Rove stared at the painting for a while before continuing to read. The next thing was still text, and after another seven pages, the second picture appeared:

A naked woman holds a fish-like animal in her hands.

Looking at the fish, Rove obviously hesitated. He raised his head, and Nico turned and leaned against the handle of the chair, nodding to signal the boy to continue.

It is still the seventh page, and the third picture appears, which is also the most complicated one:

In a room, there is a sealed box with a tree growing on it. There is also a wizard holding a sword, and behind him is a blue dragon with a hat on his head.

Rove quickly turned to the end and looked at the fourth picture:

A creature with ears the size of a bat was wiping a tiny cup.

"This alchemy book is divided into four groups, each group has seven pages, and the last page is a picture... The four pictures constitute a prophecy." Nico said softly:

"Abraham told me that the four magical creatures in the map will guide a wizard to find the relics left by the ancient magical kingdom."

"Four magical creatures?" Rove crossed his hands, propped his chin and said, "Snake, fish, dragon... what is the fourth magical creature?"

The picture is not very clear, judging from the appearance, it looks like a house-elf, a goblin, or a dwarf.

"If that picture refers to Hufflepuff, I'm more inclined to house elves." Nico said softly, "Rove, have you ever been to the Hogwarts kitchen?"

"Sir, every Hufflepuff has stayed in the kitchen." Rove leaned back on the chair, and he said with a smile: "The kitchen is next door to our lounge."

"Then you must also know about the relationship between house elves and Hufflepuff?"

"I know." Rove nodded and said, "Back then, Hufflepuff let the house-elves stay in the Hogwarts kitchen to ensure that they had jobs and would not be abused by wizards."

"That's right, even in this day and age, many house-elves are being abused by pure-blood wizards." Nico said in admiration:

"And a thousand years ago, young Hufflepuff did something very noble."

"Hufflepuffs have a good relationship with house-elves, so I prefer, that magical creature, not a goblin or a dwarf."

Rove was lost in thought.

"What did you think of?" Nico asked sharply.

"When I first entered the Hufflepuff common room, I saw a picture of Hufflepuff on the wall. In the picture, there was a house-elf."

He was still amazed at the time that there would be a portrait of a house-elf.

"Rove, you really are the one in the prophecy." Nico sighed:

"Although I haven't been in the Hufflepuff lounge, I have observed the painting, but I haven't seen a house-elf once."

"Of course, let me really realize that the prophecy refers to you, or Albus told me..." Nicol stood up, and he gently flicked his sleeves, bringing a breeze.

"Helena found you and said that you were involved in another prophecy."

"Resurrect her?"

"Yes, Helena believes that the silverfish you got is related to her mother Ravenclaw." Nicole whispered:

"And not long ago, you found the Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and got the basilisk, right?"

Rove said a little strangely:

"But the prophecy in your alchemy book didn't mention the Big Four? Why do you think that the magical creatures in the prophecy are related to the Big Four?"

"In the depths of the British Ministry of Magic, there is a site called the Department of Mysteries." Nico thought for a while and explained:

"But the history of the Department of Mysteries is far longer than that of the Ministry of Magic. It was actually established by Ravenclaw."

"There are other ruins, I have been in them all, and there are traces of the Big Four in those places, but everything is gone." Nico said with a wry smile:

"It's as if you entered an ancient tomb and found that all the funerary objects in the tomb were gone, but you saw the names of the four giants... Do you think that the funerary objects were stolen by them?"

Rove was dumbfounded for a moment... It makes sense.

It turns out that the Big Four are the originators of tomb robbers!

"There is also the most intuitive evidence, and that is Hogwarts Castle. Its construction skills are completely beyond the capabilities of modern wizards." Nico said seriously:

"How did the stairs in the castle function for a thousand years without continuous magical energy supply? There is also the Room of Requirement, even I can't build it now.

The Big Four mastered a great deal of the magic of the era. "

"Helena did say that Ravenclaw's diadem is a product of the skills of the ancient magic kingdom, and she also mentioned some magic books." Rove thought for a while.

"So, you are the one in the prophecy, Rove." Nico confirmed.

Rove frowned and said, "Actually, I really want to know why such a powerful magic kingdom suddenly disappeared?"

"There is not enough historical data to restore the truth of the year." Nico said in a deep voice, "But we can still see clues from some other ethnic groups."

The old man snapped his fingers. This time, some records about the centaur came floating in.

"In the centaur group, word of mouth has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is a legend that there was a war in ancient times. In fact, the goblins also have similar records."

"Is it our war with the centaurs and goblins?" Rove guessed.

"No." Nico shook his head and denied, "Maybe wizards, goblins, and centaurs are united and not hostile."

"After that war ended, the entire country of wizards disappeared. In history, there were also many wizards who tried to establish a country ruled by pure wizards."

Nico sighed softly:

"From Eridu in Sumer to the Trojan War, because of Herbo's participation, Troy, the city of wizards, was looted."

"For nearly a hundred years, Grindelwald tried to set off a revolution and let wizards rule the world...all failed."

"The wizard is like being cursed, and never established a real country."
