"Yes almost finished with it, got at least.. 5 pages left to write." Sirius said looking at his parchment and not at the girls, he was busy with his writings, paying not real attention to Lily nor Rowena it was their matter alone, but he wondered what would happened if Salazar arrived, shouldn't he also come here for one of his students? He shook his head, he didn't want to see that teacher here.

Lily rolled her eyes at the boy. She didn't know what to do, so she decided to play a damsel in distressed. "Professor, I had to warn you, but I was too scared to tell you anything, because he threatened me, he took my wand, I was too scared to tell anyone about it." Lily started shaking and crying. She'd always been talented for acting and she'd promised herself she'd get her revenge. So, she kept sobbing in front of Rowena, hoping she wouldn't realize she was acting. "Something terrible is going to happen!"
Rowena was surprised by Lily's words, she always seemed like a nice, talented girl, but yet there was something strange about her, something in the way she behaved. "What is going to happen, miss Weatherwax and who is he? Rowena asked and looked carefully at the girl, trying to figure out if she was telling the truth.

Sirius looked at her for a moment, he would feel sad for her, if he could but he didn't he just kept looking at Lily, observing her like if she was interesting, but she wasn't, he just looked back at his parchment. "Great act, you're a good performer, you should join the muggles in those theater stuff, they would like you. Revenge won't help you." Sirius said, looking at his parchment as he did so writing more paragraphs.
Salazar burst into Rowena's office, from time to time he would check on her to make sure she was okay, he didn't expect to see Lily and that strange boy, he looked at them for a while, and then at the boy. "The big failure in potion class is here, what sort of a reunion is this Rowena? And my own student?" Salazar said, he was mocking the young Gryffindor student.
His hold in his quill strengthened as he did not dare look up at Salazar, his insult was hurting him a little, as he was holding back tears, his hand a bit shaky, he never accepted failure, but he wasn't good in Potion just mediocre he knew it, but he never wanted to admit it, he looked back at his paper, with no sounds coming out of his mouth.

Lily raised her head and screamed at Sirius through tears. "I'm not acting, I'm not lying, you liar!" then she turned to Rowena. "It is true, he took my wand and he is about to do something awful..." Then the door opened and Salazar walked in. Lily just lowered her head, knowing she was in trouble.
Rowena kept looking from Sirius to Lily, almost amused by their talk. When Salazar walked into her office, she greeted him with a small nod. "I could hardly call this a reunion and I am still not sure what to think of it myself. She is indeed your student and maybe you should talk about this with her. And do stop mocking the boy, he's got talent and maybe he isn't the best in potions, but he's got highest grades in all the other subjects."

"Defending Godric's student are we? And why would I waste my time... with someone who lost their wand?" Salazar said in a cold tone, he did hear what Lily said after all, but who was she talking about. He looked at Rowena then back at that boy, he did not care if he had good grades, he still considered him inferior.
Sirius kept quiet until he heard what he said, part of him wanted to defend that Slytherin student from her teachers cold tone, the other part, was just confused on what to do, until he noticed something strange, he approached Lily, raising her sleeve as he looked at the tattoo, he could tell what kind of tattoo this was. "Dark Magic.." Sirius said, pointing his wand at her arm, he was saying incantations that seemed harder then usual, complex magic, eventually the tattoo disappeared, Sirius was looking at it with satisfaction smiling, but that act just made him tired, as he was falling.
Salazar remained quiet as he looked at the boy, there was definitively something about it, Salazar seemed jealous of Godric having this peculiar student, he saw him use magic that he never saw before, he looked back at Rowena, as the boy was falling unconscious, he did nothing to catch him.

"Oh, Salazar, please... I am defending him just like I would defend any student, no matter in which house they were sorted." Rowena said with a frown, annoyed with him. And to think he'd told her she was arrogant...
Lily narrowed her eyes. "You don't understand, he took my wand and he... he made me do terrible things." she didn't say that she actually did some of that terrible things willingly. Lily was totally confused when he removed her tattoo, she kept looking at him with a strange look on her face, impressed and scared at the same time.
Rowena quickly cast a spell that slowed Sirius' fall and made him land on the carpet, without getting hurt. She looked at Salazar, they were probably thinking the same about the boy's magic.

"I can see why Godric rushed to get him into his house." Salazar remembered now, when he Helga and Rowena spotted the boy, they were approaching him, but Godric was faster, dashing from the other side to get to the boy first and get him into Gryffindor, the ring pressed over the boys forehead as the colors of Gryffindor flashed from it, making it the respective house, never did he see Godric in such a hurry to get one student in particular, Salazar didn't even rush for Viktor, those cold glare, he remembered it calmly, he looked back at Lily, snapped out of that memory.
"What did Viktor do?" He finally understood who the culprit is, just by remembering the cold glare he saw when he recruited that student to Slytherin, he knew now, that something was odd about him.
Sirius opened his eyes slowly, as he was lying on the floor, it seemed that way, he looked back at Lily, without caring about how he got on the floor, or how tired the spell made him he just looked at her in the eyes. "Are you alright? Is it gone?"

Rowena nodded her head, trying to remember the sorting seven years ago. Godric was the fastest and he got the boy, but maybe he did belong in Gryffindor, since Sirius had many traits that Godric preferred. He probably wouldn't be a good Ravenclaw, anyway, and even the less a proper Slytherin.
Lily raised her sapphire eyes to meet Salazar's dark and cold ones. "How did you know it was him? I never told you his name." She kept looking at him, helpless and terrified. Maybe Viktor had told him something, maybe she was late. Then she turned to Sirius "It's gone, but how did you do that?"

"Magic I've learned from books, complex though, just studied a lot, side effects for using that magic is pretty much.. being tired and I guess falling is also part of it." Sirius said, looking at her, this Viktor boy, wasn't it the other smart student, the one that was good in most subjects except maybe muggle studies, he looked at both teachers.
Salazar touched his beard, looking at Rowena, showing some signs of worry. "I was lost in my thoughts, 7 years ago when I took the young Viktor into the Slytherin house, his cold gaze was unnatural for such a young age, I rarely saw him talk with other students, just him giving them the cold gaze. Maybe I don't like admitting but I can recognize some brilliance in Viktor, good with most classes except the mudb.... muggle studies." Salazar said, looking back at Rowena again and not his student, he finally looked back at her and sometimes his gaze went to Sirius, there was the same student in a way one was evil, the other one nice, but both with a certain intellect, he touched his beard a bit more.

Lily shrugged, still a bit taken aback by his spell. "You do seem to study a lot, I often see you in the library." She spoke to Sirius, hoping the founders would soon do something about Viktor, like casting a crucio at him.
"He's got talent, but he's using his powers to hurt the others. We have to do something about him, Salazar, now we've finally got the evidence against him." She sighed, trying to remember a younger Viktor. "For some reason, I can't remember him. He wasn't in my house, so I didn't notice that look... Maybe we could have done something to prevent all of this, when he was still young. If only we knew..." Rowena gave Salazar a warning look, but she relaxed a bit after he corrected himself before saying the word mudblood, he knew how much Rowena hated it.

"Alfie is a liar... Rowena." Salazar finally said, looking at Lily and Sirius, he then looked back at Rowena calmly, taking out a diary that belonged to Alfie, and a diary of her husband, he investigated so long to find these, and he pieced the clues together, he lied to Rowena about being in possession of the wand, twenty years ago, but eventually she would discover this.
"Yes it's very calm in the library." Sirius looked at Rowena and Salazar, listening to the conversation the two founders were having and then seeing him hand some diaries to her, what did this mean? He had no idea he looked back at Lily, slowly getting up, though his body was still tired, he was a bit shaky too. "How did the snake happen... it's all complex magic... so dark too."

"Trust me, you don't want to know." Lily replied, as gently as she could. Then she tried to signalize him to stop talking, so that they could hear what the founders were talking. Salazar handed a diary to Rowena and called some Alfie a liar. She wondered who that Alfie was.
Rowena managed to forget about Viktor for a moment. "Salazar, please, haven't we been through this before?" she sighed tiredly. She took the diaries from Salazar, still uncertain of what he wanted. "What do you mean? Where did you get these?" Rowena carefully opened one of the books. "What is this all about, Salazar?"

Salazar finally realized the students and he knew their curious gazes, he approached them, pulling their ears hard until he threw Lily and Sirius out of the office , he closed the door and put a spell to the walls so they couldn't eavesdrop, he looked back at Rowena. "The truth Rowena, read them now. The only one with the noble goal was your husband."
Sirius didn't talk as well, listening to them but he didn't expect Salazar to pull his ears as well as Lily's and they were now outside, he looked towards it, if Salazar thought he'd stop them he was wrong, as he cast a wand, trying to break his spell, after a few tries he did, just hearing the part about Rowena's husband having noble goals.

Lily was so angry when Salazar just threw them out as if they were some kind of pets. "Oh, that sly serpent!" she cursed as she tried to straighten up her robes. "Well done!" she grinned when Sirius broke the spell and moved closer to listen to their conversation. "Wait, what about her husband?" Lily whispered.
Rowena didn't say anything to stop Salazar from throwing the students out. "I don't understand... of course he had noble goals, but what's that got to do with Alfie? Unless you're trying to make me feel guilty again?" Rowena just stared at the old books "What truth, Salazar? I don't understand why you've given those to me. And how did you get them?"

"I don't know, but I think her husband is dead no?" Sirius said getting close as well, putting his ear near the door to listen more, he eventually put another spell to amplify the voices inside the office so him and Lily could hear, he didn't realize at all how close he got to her, he could pretty much smell her perfume from her and almost felt her breath.
"Alfie killed your husband for the wand Rowena, read the diaries, his diary with informations about killing a man holding the wand, the description of the house matches your house." Salazar said, so direct, without wasting any time either.
