Chapter 165
Chapter 164
The morning before Halloween, Harry woke up with other classmates and was very depressed when he went downstairs for breakfast, but he tried his best to behave as usual.
“We will bring you a lot of sweets from Duke Honey.” Hermione said, and she seemed to feel very sorry for Harry.
“Yes, bring back a lot.”
Ron said. Faced with Harry’s disappointment, he and Hermione finally forgot their previous dispute about Crookshanks. For some reason, Hermione’s cat chased Ron’s pet mouse Scab.
“Don’t worry about me.”
Harry deliberately said nonchalantly, “See you at the party. Have fun.”
He walked with them to the hall, where Administrator Filch was standing inside the gate, checking a long list, staring at every face vigilantly, not letting anyone who shouldn’t get out of the gate.
“Stay here, Potter?”
Pansy yelled with a smile. She and Draco lined up together, “Don’t dare to pass those dementors?”
Harry was depressed and ignored her, walking up the marble stairs alone, only to encounter a familiar figure.
“Oh, Mr. Potter?”
Ulysses raised his eyebrows, walked a little slower, and greeted Harry.
“Good morning, Mr. Lestrange.”
Harry looked at him suspiciously. “Aren’t you going to Hogsmeade Village?”
“Don’t go.”
Ulysses shrugged, “I’m from Boothbarton… I don’t have any obsession with it. If I don’t go, I won’t go, it’s no big deal.”
In fact, he slipped out half a month ago, but there is really nothing to be concerned about.
“Yes?”
Harry was obviously refreshed. It seemed that he found a companion who stayed at the school and his regret that he couldn’t go out was alleviated a little, “Then are you…?”
“Come out for a stroll, I’m a little tired for the past half month.”
Ulysses smiled and said, “Goodbye, Mr. Potter.”
After speaking, he walked farther and farther under Harry’s gaze.
When encountering bottleneck in bloodline research, Ulysses decided to put it aside and do something else to find inspiration and ideas.
After thinking about it, Ulysses set his goal on the clues of the great library. It just so happened that today, most of the students above the third grade went to Hogsmeade, and the number of people in the castle was greatly reduced, which was suitable for Ulysses.
At this time, he was walking to the common room in Ravenclaw.
On the top floor of the Astronomical Tower, apart from an eagle-headed bronze door knocker, there was a small figure hiding in the corner. A tall female ghost floated beside her, whispering something to her.
The little witch nodded her head after hearing it, and after a long while she jumped up excitedly and ran downstairs. Just after running a few steps, I saw Ulysses coming up.
“Oh, Luna, what are you doing in such a hurry?”
Ulysses glanced at the indifferent Helena, feeling a little better, and said to Luna with a smile.
Luna looked around and cautiously said to Ulysses:
“Ms. Gray just told me a secret road similar to Hogsmeade, I plan to go with Ginny… By the way, Mr. Lestrange, won’t you go?”
Ulysses repeated the reason he had told Harry, patted her on the head, and smiled:
“Then go ahead and have fun.”
Luna ran away quickly, while Ulysses walked to Helena, bending over and bowing:
“Long time no see, Ms. Ravenclaw.”
“Don’t call me by this name.”
Helena’s eyebrows twitched, and coldly interrupted him, “I can feel that you have something to do with me. Come on, because you are Luna’s friend, I can answer it for you once.”
Ulysses was overjoyed. Although I don’t know why Helena spoke so well today, of course he would not miss this opportunity. He deliberately asked:
“What I want to know is… Did Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw leave anything in the castle? If so, where is it?”
Helena frowned and looked at him, then sneered for a while:
“I’m just her daughter. I wasn’t in the castle until she died. I don’t know the specifics. But as far as I know, she left many interesting curses and magic items in the castle, waiting for luck and wisdom. Later generations discovered… there is another place that she hailed as a masterpiece, but you have to discover that place yourself.”
After speaking, Helena left Ulysses, who was standing in situ, meditating. His figure gradually faded and disappeared from the top floor of the Astronomy Tower.
“masterpiece?”
Ulysses muttered to himself, racking his brains to remember what Ravenclaw could call a masterpiece in the castle. In the end, his face became more and more strange.
He thought about it, only the responsive house he had been in for almost half a month was worthy of this evaluation.
Regarding the House of Requirement, no one knows its origin, only that it has always existed in Hogwarts Castle. Its function is peculiar, and it can provide all kinds of rooms satisfying the wishes of the entrants.
Ulysses only found it strange at first, but now he began to think deeply about how it did it?
Perhaps only Rowena Ravenclaw can give it such a magical ability.
The more Ulysses thought about it, the more he realized that there was a high possibility of this speculation. Like Luna, he rushed straight to the eighth floor of the castle, and stopped before the hanging picture of the troll wearing a ballet suit and waving a big stick.
“How to get in?”
Ulysses frowned and thought, chanting “I’m going to the place left by Ravenclaw” three times in his heart, pacing back and forth before hanging the painting, but the white wall on the opposite side was motionless.
“Can’t it?”
Ulysses muttered to himself, and tried to say silently, ‘I’m going to enter the place where the clues of the big library’s address are kept’.
Still motionless.
Both attempts were unsuccessful, and Ulysses was not discouraged, and continued to think about other ways.
Suddenly, his ears moved, and there seemed to be a strong wind in the corner of the corridor.
Ulysses quickly cast a phantom spell on himself, his body pressed against the wall, and the next moment he saw a large group of dark shadows flashing across the corridor, extremely fast.
‘That’s…a black dog? That should be Sirius Black, but he still slipped in. He is a f*ck Gus…transformed…transformed? ’
Ulysses thought to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. After confirming that the big black dog had gone far, he took off the phantom spell, stood there and closed his eyes, and muttered silently in his heart:
‘I’m going to enter the first room of responsiveness. ’
After repeating it three times, Ulysses stopped and raised his head with a smile on his mouth.
Numerous subtle patterns suddenly appeared on the wall, and the patterns gradually condensed into a smooth door.
Ulysses held the doorknob and pushed in.
