Chapter 17: Ravenclaw's Enigmatic Door
Accompanied by the house elf Burley, although Elena found herself on the other side of the tapestry in the grand bar on the castle's eighth floor, touching Barbara's tapestry, the legendary demanding house showed particular interest but only repressed her curiosity, following the normal path with regret.
If previous knowledge of the magical world can deceive the past, then a girl who has never been to Hogwarts found these kinds of things that most students may not know until graduation. The place is too special.
Similar to this, there is also the common room behind the fourth door on the sixth floor of the castle, to the left of the confused Polis egg statue.
A luxurious chandelier lit with candles throws a warm and soft light into the room. Everything is made of white marble, including a large bath located in the center of the room and sunken into the floor. It's like a rectangular pool. There are around a hundred golden taps around the bath, each with a different colored gem on its handle. There is also a diving board. White linen curtains hang on the windows; a bunch of soft white towels were placed in one corner.
For a girl, in Elena's imagination, the most ideal and luxurious bathroom is more or less like this.
You must know that when she went to college in the past, the bathroom designed by the frantic school was actually a rush to supply water. Using the card could only last for fifteen minutes, you can imagine a hand covered in white bubbles trembling in the cold winter. Was it the shiver that stretched the door to use the student card duration?!
Up to that point, Elena was frustrated to realize a problem, if she was not a student of Hogwarts, many secret rooms full of magical magic that she could not visit.
Whether it is the office of each professor, Filch's office, or the library containing 13,000 magic books, it is locked by magic and cannot be entered freely. This made Elena want to borrow a little from a half-blood prince, or see the forbidden magical toys of the kids.
Oh no, on the second floor of the castle, the door to Professor McGonagall's office over the marble staircase in the lobby is a smokescreen. But Elena was very sensible and did not knock on the door; who knows if that dangerous Professor McGonagall, suddenly, would remember previous things and take the opportunity to take revenge.
Empty classrooms are meaningless to visit. After all, except for the potions classroom, in Elena's opinion, most classrooms seem indistinguishable from a wooden platform. Ten empty desks and chairs.
Of course, still, Elena is satisfied.
Because even if all the ghosts did not appear, the entire Hogwarts Castle is still filled with wonderful magic, everything seems to be constantly moving, the people in the portraits continue to visit each other, and the stairs will move.
The most charming for Elena throughout the tour was the Ravenclaw Common Room, located on the west side of the castle, above the Ravenclaw Tower. To be precise, it was the charming bronze door knocker in the shape of an eagle.
Just as the founder of the school, Rowena Ravenclaw, followed the philosophy, the door to the Ravenclaw Common Room does not require a password like the other houses, as long as anyone who can answer the right question can enter.
Elena stood in front of the soft wooden door, knocked on the door, the eagle's beak on the bronze knocker opened and asked in a soft voice: "Which fire and phoenix first?"
It seems that the number of questions is not too many. Elena was lucky to get the original question in the original book, "This is a cycle, there is no starting point."
"The answer is correct." After the voice finished, the creaky door opened automatically.
However, Elena, who had answered correctly, did not choose to enter hastily.
"Dear door knocker, how do you ensure that the answers to your questions are the only correct ones?"
Elena charmingly squinted her eyes and shrugged at the eagle-shaped knocker. "You know that language and words are most likely to have multiple meanings. All common sayings can receive new meanings at any time."
