During the month Cyrus spent at Slytherin Mansion, her days consisted of drinking potions to stabilize her soul and remove scars, followed by tutoring sessions with Salazar. As a teacher, Salazar was both relentlessly strict and exceptionally brilliant.
Salazar excelled primarily in alchemy, Dark Magic, and the study of soul lineages, yet teaching the standard Hogwarts curriculum for years one through six was effortless for him.

A small forest flanked the castle for breeding animals, complemented by vast gardens stretching out both front and back. Salazar had likely claimed this entire sprawling region as his personal domain. Alchemy labs, potion rooms, greenhouses, and more were all fully equipped. The interior design bore a distinct resemblance to Hogwarts as well; this place was practically a miniature Hogwarts Castle.
