I continued to stare at the pensieve, my thoughts a whirl. The Gaunt family were supposedly direct descendants of the Slytherin family. Though, I have heard that one of the founders of Ilvermorny was a descendant. So it’s possible that a line still existed. Aside from that, they were considered a Sacred-Twenty Eight family but were considered extinct. Which obviously wasn’t the case since Voldemort was technically a Gaunt. Just mostly extinct.
