Chapter 22 You Shouldn't Stare at a Lady Like This
"I'm Robert Hilliard.
Ravenclaw prefect. "
The brown-haired senior boy introduced himself and offered to shake William's hand with his right hand.
Thanks to Professor Dumbledore, although William regretted that he could not get rich, he was glad that he no longer needed to meet people to introduce himself.
"If you don't mind, you can go back to the common room with us. On the way back, I can introduce our academy to you."
William looked at Penello—"It's a tradition for the prefects to lead the freshmen to the common room," she blinked.
"I'm afraid it will trouble you."
William accepted Robert's invitation.
Robert, together with another female prefect named Grace, led William and the Ravenclaw first graders to line up to the tallest tower on the west side of the castle - the Ravenclaw Tower .
"It is a pleasure to welcome you at Ravenclaw House, whose emblem is the eagle, which can soar to heights that no other animal can reach.
Our colors are blue and bronze. "
Climbing up the stairs around the tower, Robert introduced to everyone with a proud expression on his face.
"The Common Room is at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, with an enchanted knocker on the door. The Common Room is circular, with arched windows on the wall overlooking the various grounds of the school: Black Lake, Forbidden Forest, Quidditch Ball field and herb garden.
I bet you that no college has the same broad perspective as ours. "
While talking, they came to the top of the tower steps.Here, William noticed, was an old bare plank with a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle.
"I don't want to boast."
Robert said modestly and arrogantly.
"But Ravenclaw is indeed the house of the wisest wizards. House founder Rowena believes that knowledge is the most valuable possession, and so do we.
Other colleges hide their common room entrances, but we don't because we don't need to. "
He went up to the knocker, turned and said:
"When you knock, the knocker asks you a question, which must be answered correctly to allow you to enter. This simple barrier has kept everyone but Ravenclaw out for nearly 1000 years."
Robert said, and knocked on the door.
The bronze eagle's beak opened suddenly, but what came out was not a mournful bird song, but a soft female voice, which sang softly:
"I am the black son of a white father;
I am a wingless bird that can fly straight up to the clouds.
When I was born, all who touched me wept;
Once I am born, I will soon disappear into thin air.
who I am? "
"Anyone want to try it?"
Robert's brows were slightly frowned, but soon he showed an expression of enlightenment - he didn't rush to announce the answer, but gave up his position in front of the door and waited quietly.
"A black son of a white father means that there are two similar forms? A wingless bird, makes people cry, disappears quickly, so uncreative."
William glanced around at the young wizards who were still thinking hard, stepped forward a few steps, and said his answer before the door knocker: "It's smoke."
"Correct answer," said the voice.
The door swung open.
A spacious circular room is revealed.
This was the first time William saw Ravenclaw's lounge - he had some impressions of Gryffindor in the original book, but it was far less beautiful than here - the floor of the common room was covered with a thick layer of dark blue Velvet contrasts with the mural of the mysterious starry sky on the dome.
At night, the blue and bronze silk curtains were drawn on the surrounding windows.There are tables, chairs and bookcases in the room.
In the alcove facing the door is a full-length portrait of pure white marble - that is the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw.
Her right arm holding the wand was raised obliquely above her left shoulder, and her left arm was naturally hanging down, as if she was about to show a spell or read a spell to guard the small library behind her.
"As for our relationship with the other three colleges."
Robert described in detail the relationship between Ravenclaw and the other houses - the show-off goof, the unscrupulous viper, and their favorite denominator, the badger.
William left the procession and made his way to the alcove.
The blue velvet carpet was so thick that he stepped on it barely making a sound.
"Incalculable wisdom is a man's greatest wealth (Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure)."
William looked up and saw the carved characters on the diadem worn by the Ravenclaw statue.She, who was made of white marble, seemed to be looking at him too, with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth.
"A gentleman shouldn't stare at a lady like that."
A soft female voice sounded in William's ears.
"who is it?!"
He turned his head quickly.
But there was no one around.
"Our resident ghost is Lady Gray, the rest of the school thinks she never speaks, but she talks to Ravenclaws."
Robert was still chattering, and the freshmen were already so sleepy that they were about to lie down on the ground—but the voice just now could never come from them.
"Aparecium!"
William quickly pulled out his wand, and muttered silently - a transparent aura that only he could see centered on him and spread rapidly.
He got nothing.
"You actually know who I am, don't you?"
The female voice sounded again, and she said with a chuckle.
"You shouldn't be able to talk."
William replied calmly.
He had already realized that the woman's voice sounded directly in his mind - just like when he was sorted before - the "person" who made the voice was standing in front of him.
Sculpture of Rowena Ravenclaw.
But this is where the problem is most obvious!
Even though the last time he read the original book was more than ten years ago, he knew very well that in the original story, there was no role for this sculpture at all!
Not at all!
"Yeah, I thought it was impossible for me to wake up again. But you... that lucky old thing", she sounded very sad.
"Everyone, are they all riddlers?"
William had never been interested in guessing games - he wasn't stupid, but he preferred a more Western approach - "for Gatmelin's sake, it works better than a wand".
"Good luck, little wizard."
The woman's voice did not answer William's question, but said it very lightly.
"Lalhiait Asewg Zts Rn Yh RR Sa."
A very strange sentence suddenly appeared before William's eyes. It didn't belong to any language William knew, and it wasn't even a sentence or a word.
It seems to have a certain law.
But no matter how William called in his mind, the female voice never answered—she was like a dream or a phantom—only William knew that it was a real thing.
Because at some point, the left hand of the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw has changed from falling naturally to holding it up horizontally, and the direction of her fingertips is pointing to a grid in the alcove.
The introduction comes from pottermore, with excerpts and revisions (the original text is too boring), the statue of Ravenclaw is moving (refer to the volume of Deathly Hallows, she looked at Harry with a strange smile).
Baidu can’t find that password, the original content, the hint is a magic number (not 7)
Ask for some recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, rewards, etc. I won’t pick any ones that haven’t been recommended this week (hehe)
