Talk:Cadmus Peverell

"It is possible that either Slytherin himself was of Peverell descent"

I don't think this is an entirely accurate or plausible prediction. Though, yes, it could be possible, I think it should be denoted as highly unlikely. Salazar Slytherin existed sometime around the 10th century (for Binns/McGonagall (book vs. movie) to say the school was built a thousand years ago during Harry's second year). If I am not mistaken, Beedle the Bard wasn't until around the fourteenth or fifteenth century. It would make sense that if Beedle was truly writing about the Peverell brothers (which is hard to dispute at this point), then the Peverells couldn't be that much older than Beedle, otherwise how would Beedle know about the story. For Slytherin to be a descendant of the Peverells, the Peverells would have to be over 400 or 500 years older than Beedle. I was more under the impression that Beedle may have actually even known the Peverells personally. This year difference just seems too unlikely. I guess its possible, but then the Deathly Hallows would be extremely ancient, and so far there is no proof they even existed before the 10th century. Plus, even if that was the case, it is much more likely that Slytherin married into a Peverell blood line. All around it fits in as the most likely scenario. Anyone wish to add anything?24.49.35.99 02:32, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
