My Understanding Is Incredible, I Built A Floating City In Hogwarts

Chapter 14 Ravenclaw Lounge



I heard someone calling me,

The gray-haired girl turned around and glanced at Levin in surprise.

She seemed to be curious as to why this new student, whom she had never met before, knew her.

When their eyes met, Levin immediately realized his gaffe.

At the same time, he could also observe the girl more carefully.

The girl is about fourteen or fifteen years old, and seems to be in the same grade as the prefect Penelo Crevat.

The two are walking side by side at the forefront of Ravenclaw and seem to have a good relationship.

When he saw Ciriella's face from the front, Levin felt that she was indeed very similar to Ciri in "The Witcher 3", but she was much younger.

Plus her reaction when she heard "Cirella",

Levin is basically certain that the person in front of him is the "Lion Cub of Cintra", "Daughter of the White Wolf", "Daughter of Time and Space", possessor of the ancient blood, Cirella Fiona Elen Wren Lun.

But the question is, why did she appear in Hogwarts?

This is not Kaer Morhen,

Levin had never heard of rumors about sorceresses and demon hunters in the magical world.

But thinking about Ciri—that is, Cirilla—the ancient blood gave her the ability to travel through time and space.

According to the setting in the Witcher novel, Ciri even traveled to Venice and Poland in the Middle Ages, Britain in the industrial age and other places, and met Galahad, King Arthur's Holy Grail Knight.

"Could it be that she traveled to Hogwarts by herself?"

Levin couldn't help but frown, sensing something was wrong.

With her country and family ruined, if it was because of her ability to travel through time, it would be impossible for her to stay in Otherworld and attend classes with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Levin remembered his epiphany: [The abnormalities caused by you will gradually be revealed]

Is this the impact I have on the world?

Thinking of this, Levin felt that the mystery of everything became even greater.

After exchanging glances with Shiri, Levin made no further contact with the senior.

He doesn't plan to reveal that he knows the other person before he gets to know him well.

Otherwise, many things cannot be explained.

Amid various thoughts, Levin followed the team towards the lounge.

Ravenclaw's lounge is further away than the other three houses.

It is not built near the main tower courtyard, but on the tower on the other side of the Astronomical Tower complex. To get there, you need to cross a stone bridge.

In front of the tower, Prefect Penelo Crevat introduced: "The ever-changing staircases in Hogwarts were suggested and designed by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of the college. Everyone, please be careful when going upstairs. , don’t go in the wrong direction.”

"Our common room and dormitories are on the west side of the castle. There is still a way to go, so be careful where you step!"

She was right, you really had to be very careful walking on the tower stairs.

The stairs here are constantly changing. For example, under their feet, the stairs are generated in real time as the team continues to advance. Where no one has set foot, the tower is empty.

As he walked, Levin felt troubled.

Indeed, both raven and eagle must live in high places.

But little wizards are still human after all.

There’s no need to make Ravenclaw’s lounge so high, right?

Before Levin could grow impatient, they finally climbed up the tall tower and reached the entrance to the common room.

The entrance is at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, and you can see an old, smooth wooden board at a glance.

There is a huge bronze door knocker in the shape of an eagle.

Penello, who was first, knocked on the door knocker three times.

The door knocker made a magnetic and mysterious sound:

"I only work under pressure, only I can hurt myself, who am I?"

"diamond."

Almost immediately, Penello gave the answer,

But she did not enter immediately. Instead, she turned around and explained to the freshmen: "In fact, you will find that the lounges in other colleges have fixed passwords, but we do not."

"As long as you can answer the questions on the door knocker correctly, you can get in. Don't worry, the door knocker will not ask rigid logic questions, but some philosophical questions. These questions do not have a fixed standard answer, as long as there are reasons that can convince it. , you can come in."

"But there is no need to worry about safety, because in nearly a thousand years, no outsider has been able to pass through this simple barrier except us Ravenclaw ourselves."

After hearing this, Levin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although Ravenclaw prefers smart people, there is no guarantee that all smart people will be assigned to Ravenclaw. The intelligence of the Eagles crushes other colleges.

For example, Hermione, a true academic master, was assigned to Gryffindor.

If no outsiders have entered for a thousand years, how can the Eagle Ring ensure that only people from Ravenclaw can answer the questions correctly?

Maybe the eagle ring itself has the ability to identify incoming people,

If you meet an outsider, the question will be very difficult?

And when it comes to Ravenclaw, the difficulty is very easy?

"Don't be afraid of the Eagle Ring's questions. We at Ravenclaw are good at learning. You will soon learn to enjoy the challenges set by the Eagle Ring. It is not uncommon for more than ten or twenty students from different grades to try to answer the questions of the day. This is also a good opportunity for you to meet classmates from other grades.”

The female prefect continued to introduce,

"But this challenge can be a little annoying when you forget the books or Quidditch uniforms you're going to use for the day... Therefore, I suggest you double-check your bags before leaving Ravenclaw Tower."

She finally opened the door and motioned for the little wizards to enter:

Ravenclaw's common room is a large circular room with elegant arched windows on the walls hung with blue and bronze silks. Through the windows, you can see the beautiful scenery outside.

The ceiling is a dome, dotted with stars, and the dark blue carpet below is also dotted with stars, making it appear profound, mysterious, and unpredictable.

There are large tables, chairs, and rows of bookshelves in the room.

In the niche opposite the door is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw, a woman with both beauty and wisdom.

A door next to the statue leads to the dormitories above.

"Through the arched windows of the circular common room, you can see the entire Hogwarts campus: the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch Pitch and the Greenhouse. No other house enjoys this view."

"Ravenclaw has another cool element: our guys are very egotistical - some would even call them eccentric. But genius is often out of step with the norm, and unlike some academies, we think you can wear whatever you want. Clothes you like, believe whatever you want, say whatever you please. We don’t resent people who are different, on the contrary, we appreciate them.”

Levin suddenly remembered Luna, the "crazy girl" who will enter school next year. She was often bullied because of her weirdness.

So "appreciating the alien" is just a one-sided statement?

Or is the "crazy girl" so weird that even Ravenclaw can't stand it?

"Speaking of outliers, you'll like our dean, Professor Filius Flitwick. People often underestimate him because he's really short and has a high-pitched voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable alive in the world. Professor of Charms - many of us also think he has fairy blood, but please don’t ask him rudely.”

"His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem, and if you're unhappy, he'll release those delicious little pocket cakes hidden in the tin can in his desk drawer and let them dance in front of you. You can actually It’s really worth trying to pretend you’re unhappy so you can watch the cakes jive.”

"Ravenclaw has a rich history. Most of the great wizarding inventors and innovators came from our academy,"

"Including Popetua Vancourt, the inventor of the moonscope;"

“Laverne de Montmorency—the great apothecary who invented many love potions;”

"Ignatia Wildsmith - Inventor of Floo Powder."

"There are also famous Ministers of Magic who were born in Ravenclaw, including Millicent Bagnor - he happened to be in office the night Harry Potter escaped from the Dark Lord's death curse. He used his own words to defend the celebration of wizards across the UK. : 'I insist that the celebration is our inalienable right.'"

"And Minister Lorcan McLeod, he's a pretty clever wizard, but he prefers to communicate with people by breathing smoke from the tip of his wand."

"Of course, I've said before that we produce weird people. In fact, we also contributed to the wizarding world the weirdo Ulric who wore a jellyfish as a hat. He is a classic punchline in many wizard jokes."

"As for our relationship with the other three colleges..."

"You've most likely heard of Slytherins. They're not all bad, but you should be wary until you get to know them."

"Their long-standing house tradition is to win at any cost - so please take note, especially at Quidditch and exams."

"The Gryffindors aren't bad. If I have any problem with them, it's that Gryffindors like to show off too much."

"They are also much less tolerant of aliens than we are; in fact, they even laugh at some who are interested in ascension, or the magical functions of troll eggs, or omenology, which is the use of eggs for divination. Method the curious Ravenclaw."

"Gryffindors don't share our intellectual curiosity, and for us, if you're willing to sit in the corner of the common room all day and night, cracking eggs, and recording your predictions based on the different ways the yolks fall, that's totally not the case. A question, and you’ll likely find someone willing to help you.”

"As for the Hufflepuffs, no one could say they weren't friendly people."

“They are arguably the nicest group of people in school.”

"Suffice it to say, when it comes to competition in exams, you don't have to worry too much about them."

"I think that's all..."

"Oh, by the way, the ghost of our college is Ms. Grey,"

"Others think she never speaks, but she will occasionally be willing to talk to us Ravenclaws."

"She is the daughter of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts. She is a very beautiful lady. It is said that she has something to do with Bloody Barrow - of course we will never ask her."

"She's especially helpful when you're lost or can't find something."

"Finally, I'll say it again: Congratulations on becoming one of the smartest, sharpest and funniest Hogwarts houses."

The female prefect finished this series of introductions as if she was giving an endorsement, and went into the girls' dormitory with Xiri.

Levin and the freshmen began to choose their dormitories.

Levin casually found a bed of his own, sharing the dormitory with Stephen Kornford from before, and Kevin Entwistle, another Ravenclaw passerby NPC in the original book.

They said good night to each other and quickly fell asleep.
