The passage into this place is opened by the resonant magic of the merfolk's singing, and it doesn't last long. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Once the singing stopped, the gap in and out would close and close, and Evan would be locked up inside and unable to get out.

He had to hurry up to learn the secrets and get out of here before the rift closed.

Evan followed the raven's trajectory and quickly walked through the rows of bookshelves inside.

At the innermost end of the room is a recessed alcove with a tall white marble statue.

It was Rowena Ravenclaw!!

Evan had seen her statue when he and Luna had visited the Ravenclaw common room before.

The marble statue of Ravenclaw here is larger than the one in the school's common room.

She seemed to be looking at Aven, with a mocking smile on her face, beautiful, but somewhat intimidating.

Raven perched above her head, tilting his head, his blood-red eyes staring at Evan.

It let out a hoarse and mournful cry that made people shudder.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind!"

The strange and indifferent voice that Evan had heard before sounded again, and this time, he noticed that it was the raven.

"If you want to be rewarded by Ravenclaw, bring her crown and I'll reveal all the secrets to you!"

"Ravenclaw's crown?!" Hearing its words, Evan's gaze moved away from the raven and ...... downwards

He noticed that the statue of Lady Rowena Ravenclaw in front of him did not have the famous crown on its head.

It's incredible, considering that the tiara is clearly visible in the portraits and sculptures of Rowena Ravenclaw that are still alive, even in all the written records, and Ravenclaw himself would hardly have taken it off.

It is considered a symbol of Rowena Ravenclaw and has a special significance.

For thousands of years, many wizards believed that Ravenclaw tiaras had magical properties that increased the wearer's wisdom.

This is a very famous legendary magic item that has been passed down for generations in the Ravenclaw family.

It is not known whether the Ravenclaw crown had any other use than to increase wisdom, but it was certainly a testament to wisdom and status.

Also known as the "Crown of Wisdom", this crown is believed to be worn only by the brightest wizards in the world.

In the eyes of the world, Ravenclaw has always carried a crown because she is recognized as the smartest wizard.

But after her death, this precious magic item was nowhere to be found.

No matter how much the descendants searched in the castle and among her relics, they found no trace of her, and the crown disappeared out of thin air!

Since then, the missing Ravenclaw crown has become a mystery, and rumors have swirled.

Some say that Rowena Ravenclaw was reluctant to take the crown to the grave.

It is also believed that the crown is automatically hidden, and that it will only reappear when a wizard with intelligence comparable to that of Rowena Ravenclaw appears.

However, Evan knew that it was Ravenclaw's daughter, Helena Ravenclaw, who had stolen the tiara.

She wanted to be smarter and more famous than her mother, so she fled with her crown and hid in a forest in Albania, hoping to monopolize this treasure that did not belong to her......

No one knew about it, and Ravenclaw never admitted that the crown was missing, and she kept pretending that it was still there.

She hid her losses even from the other three founders, from her daughter's terrible betrayal.

She didn't even look for her crown, as if it had never happened.

Later, Ravenclaw became ill, very ill, and she wished to see her daughter again before she died.

She sent a man who loved Helena dearly, the Bloody Barrow, to find her.

However, Barrow accidentally killed Helena, and then Barrow used the weapon to kill himself.

Centuries later, he still wears shackles in repentance.

After their deaths, both eventually returned to Hogwarts, albeit in their goofing form.

Because of all kinds of regrets and remorse, they stayed here forever, wandering in the old castle.

Helena never saw her mother to the end and was not forgiven by her, though Ravenclaw probably never resented her.

Barrow, on the other hand, blames himself for killing the person he loves the most, and lives in infinite pain that he cannot be relieved from after death.

As for the Ravenclaw tiara, it was hidden by Helena in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest.

The story doesn't end there, as Evan doesn't have to go to the desolate Albanian forest to find a thousand-year-old tree, or go to the Ravenclaw library to rummage through ancient books and ask Helena about the painful love affair between Helena and Barrow the Bloody.

Because Voldemort found the whereabouts of the missing crown, he went to the distant forest and retrieved the hidden crown.

He made the crown of wisdom his precious Horcrux instead of remaining in that humble tree.

Voldemort then secretly returned the crown to its true home, hiding it in the Hogwarts Requirement Room.

On the way back, Evan kept thinking about these things.

In this way, he should be grateful to Voldemort for making the challenge left by Ravenclaw very easy.

All Aven had to do was return to the castle to find the crown in the Room of Requirement, and wait until the merfolk brought it to their next sacrifice to obtain the secret treasure left behind by Ravenclaw.

The only thing that needs to be noted during the whole process is not to be affected by the fragments of Voldemort's soul in the crown.

Speaking of which, Evan had been trying to deal with that Horcrux, but he was not in a hurry, so he kept delaying it.

Just take this opportunity to dispose of the Horcrux and check if there are any secrets hidden in the crown.

Evan said goodbye to the merfolk and resurfaced with the many magical materials he had exchanged.

It was now about ten o'clock in the evening, and the dim moon was swaying in the thick clouds, and the cold wind was gusting.

Evan was surprised to see Hermione waiting on the shore, huddled in the grass with a glass bottle of blue magic fire in her arms.

She looked nervously at the lake, her body shivering from the cold, and she looked very pitiful.

"This girl, didn't she go directly to the castle, she had to wait here!"

He knew that Hermione was not at ease, so he had been waiting by the lake for him to come out.

Sure enough, as soon as she saw Evan crawling out of the lake, Hermione rushed over and hugged Evan tightly......
