"Yes I did hear about our friend Gevriks outburst. Also he had some meet and greet thing this past weekend in the Hog Head pub. A friend of mine Mia asked Gevrik why we are learning so much about muggle care and all. Not that I mind but it seemed to interest Gevrik. After that he has been appearing in classrooms all week."
*Sitting on the edge of the boys bed he pulled a book up and opened it.*
"Now after DADA I wanted to read more on the Knights of Walpurgis but all the library had was books on a muggle festival called Walpurgis night. So I sent a letter to my uncle. He has a huge library and he sent me these. Well not the bucket or astronomy textbook."
*Flipping the pages like crazy he found what he needed.*
"Okay so you know how the head master kind of left things open ended on the Walpurgis Knights? If they were real or not? Look at this-"
*Handing the book over to the boy he showed him a bit of text.*
From Matty's uncle Gabben's book
Walpurgis Now and Then Quote:
The Knights of Walpurgis were founded around one thousand years ago to protect witches and wizards from Muggle persecution. However, after a while Wizarding society managed to convince Muggles that magic does not exist, and the services of the Knights were no longer required.
The Knights did not share this belief, and feeling bitter and rejected, decided to continue their work by cleansing the Wizarding world of Muggle-borns (whom they did not trust, believing that Muggle-borns might still betray them), and by continuing their war with Muggles, who no longer believed in magic, but whose ancestors did, and were the cause of much suffering for witches and wizards.
It is possible that Salazar Slytherin, after leaving Hogwarts rounded up other witches and wizards who shared his ideals, and banded them together to form the Knights of Walpurgis. Or, perhaps the Knights of Walpurgis already existed.
Knights of Walpurgis may have initially followed Salazar Slytherin, after his disappearance from Hogwarts. They probably also followed Grindelwald, and then followed Lord Voldemort. This is important because, no matter what name they may take, they will always exist, and they will always find a powerful leader to serve, who shares their Pureblood ideology. The Knights of Walpurgis/Death Eaters will live on, even when Lord Voldemort did not.
