![]() This, of course, threatened the secrecy around the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, which, at the time, still had its original appearance - a concealed trapdoor and a series of magical tunnels - and which was located on the site where a girls' bathroom would be set up. In the 1700s, there was a proposal to install an elaborate plumbing system at Hogwarts Castle. The Gaunts, being direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin, also knew about the Chamber of Secrets, and Corvinus Gaunt was instrumental in keeping the entrance to the Chamber a secret. Of Isolt and James's biological twin daughters, Martha and Rionach Steward, the first was a Squib who married into the Pocomtuc tribe while the latter chose to have no children as she desired the extinction of her infamous bloodline. ![]() A friend of Isolt's, a pukwudgie (by the name of William), appeared behind Gormlaith and shot her through the heart with an arrow, killing her instantly. Her plans were going well, as she had managed to back the Steward family into room and was preparing to murder James and steal the couple's daughters, when Isolt screamed the name William. She concocted a plan and set out to the New World in order to exact revenge on her niece. She was also upset to hear Isolt had married a Muggle and opened the school up to anyone with magic and not a select few of pure-bloods. ![]() When she also heard the school was named Ilvermorny, she knew it was Isolt because it was the name of the same cottage Isolt was born in and Gormlaith set fire to. She remembered her niece was named this by her father because of their lineage to Morrigan herself. Gormlaith arrives at Ilvermorny to exact her revenge against Isolt and her familyĪround 1634, Gormlaith found out a headteacher at a new school of magic in the New World was nicknamed " Morrigan". Isolt ultimately fled to the new world and helped found Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with her muggle husband James Steward. Gormlaith then took their child, her niece Isolt Sayre and imprisoned her for twelve years, in the hope that she could raise her in the family pure-blood traditions. She did this by setting their cottage on fire. ![]() In the 1600s, Gormlaith Gaunt slew her sister Rionach and her husband William Sayre for betraying the family's belief in Pure-blood supremacy and lending aid to neighbouring muggles. Isolt is kidnapped by Gormlaith Gaunt after the latter burns down her parents' cottage The House of Gaunt was once a prominent, wealthy family in the wizarding world, and originated, whether in Great Britain or Ireland, from many powerfully magical wizards and witches, including Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Cadmus Peverell, the middle of the Peverell brothers and one of the original masters of the Deathly Hallows Cadmus possessing the Resurrection Stone. He, as you saw, was left in squalor and poverty, with a very nasty temper, a fantastic amount of arrogance and pride, and a couple of family heirlooms that he treasured just as much as his son, and rather more than his daughter." - Mindset of the Gaunt family " Lack of sense coupled with a great liking for grandeur meant that the family gold was squandered several generations before Marvolo was born. However, their liking for grandeur in tandem with little sensibility when it came to indulgences meant the family gold was squandered long before the last of the lineage was born. They were very wealthy and prominent once, having descended from many powerful witches and wizards, most notably Salazar Slytherin and Cadmus Peverell. ![]() The last known members of the family lived just outside of Little Hangleton, a small village in northern England. The Gaunts had branches in Britain and Ireland, although it is not known exactly where they originated. They had a tendency of marrying their cousins to keep their blood pure and to retain the traits of their ancestor, Salazar Slytherin, most notably the ability to speak Parseltongue. The House of Gaunt was a pure-blood family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. " Marvolo, his son, Morfin, and his daughter, Merope, were the last of the Gaunts, a very ancient wizarding family noted for a vein of instability and violence that flourished through the generations due to their habit of marrying their own cousins." - Description of the Gaunts ![]()
