Chapter 233: The Book of Confusion (I)

Standing in front of the door, Luna stretched out a pale hand, which moved in mid-air, unconnected to her arms and body, looking very strange. She knocked on the door, and in the silence it sounded like a cannonball. The eagle's beak immediately opened, but instead of making a bird's call, it said in a gentle, musical voice: "Phoenix and fire, which one comes first?"

"I guess the answer is a cycle, with no beginning. Luna whispered

"Makes sense. With that, the door opened. Malfoy was about to follow him in, but found the door closed again, turning him away.

"It seems that she is a little unwelcome to you, and you may have to answer the question as well. Luna said in the break room, leaning against the door, and looking outside.

"How many deaths do people experience in their lifetime?" asked softly again with the eagle's beak on the stone door.

"There will be three times, the first after the body is dysfunctional, the second after the funeral, and the third after the last person on earth has forgotten his existence. After a moment's thought, Malfoy replied briefly.

"Slytherin student, it's a shame for the House that you didn't make it to Ravenclaw. Hawkbeak said regretfully, "Go ahead, this is the most satisfactory answer I have ever received since I asked this question." ”

Malfoy dodged and walked into the Ravenclaw common room.

"You're the first student to satisfy him on this question!" Luna's misty eyes widened as if she had discovered a new world.

"This question is often tested by the students of our academy!, but no one has been able to give him a satisfactory answer, and there are often students who are trapped outside because of this question, and it will take a long time for it to ask us another question, so that we can have a chance to enter. Luna explained.

Malfoy followed him into the Ravenclaw common room, which was empty and empty except for him and Luna.

"They all went to the library today, and it was said that there was a reading club, but I wasn't interested, so I didn't go, I thought it would be more interesting to talk to the armor. Luna said, then put the corn in her hand on a table, and randomly found a fluffy, blue-patterned couch and sat down, waiting for Malfoy's evaluation.

Malfoy surveyed the room, where the elegant arched windows hung in blue and bronze silk on the opposite wall, and during the day, the Ravenclaw students could see the surrounding mountains. The ceiling is domed with stars painted on it, and the dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars. There are tables, chairs, bookshelves, and a tall white marble statue in the niche opposite the door.

Malfoy leaned over and looked up at the statue, which was probably Rowena Ravenclaw, a woman who seemed to be looking at him, with a mocking smile on her face, beautiful, but somewhat intimidating.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" said Luna softly.

"That's right!" Luna clapped her hands before standing up. "You come here, maybe it will solve your doubts. She then held out a finger, turned her head to look, and pointed to a wall.

Malfoy looked in the direction Luna had said, and a large notebook was spread out, on top of which was a stack of very wide parchment, as if nailed to the wall.

Other than that, it doesn't look anything out of the ordinary, it's very simple, not even a cover, and it's blank, and nothing is written.

"It corresponds to the door just now, that door is responsible for asking questions, this notebook is responsible for answering, we all call it the Book of Puzzles. Luna explained briskly, and then suddenly said in a singing tone: "Wisdom is not only about solving problems, but asking a good question can also be a beacon of light." ”

"As soon as you write a question on it with a quill, it will start answering. Luna took a quill from her bosom and leaned forward on tiptoe, and began to write and draw on it. “

"Where can I find the scimitar-horned snorer?"

Soon, some rounded black handwriting remained on the pages of the large notebook, and then it was quickly hidden, and the notebook returned to a blank appearance.

No response.

"Oh, maybe some questions are too hard for it. Luna whispered with her mouth covered. “

"It's also possible that they don't bother to pay attention to you. Malfoy whispered in his heart, he guessed that maybe Luna had asked many times, and the girl in front of him was really obsessed with all kinds of ethereal creatures.

"But it can basically answer other questions, and occasionally when the professors assign homework that is beyond our level, we ask it and it will answer. Luna added.

"Of course, sometimes it gives too standard answers, and is often found by professors, and even if it is all right, the score is very low, so few students dare to use it to catch up with their homework. ”

"Oh, by the way, there are some questions it won't answer, I remember a student asked a question about how to use Avada's life, and it showed a line - the unbounded curiosity will lead to destruction, and then Professor Flitwick quickly arrived and took the student to the office and reprimanded him severely. Luna then added.

"Actually, I'd love to visit Professor Flitwick's office, and it must be fun to say that he can make those delicious pocket cakes in the tin of the desk drawer dance. Then Luna put on a wistful expression.

Although Luna is very intelligent at certain times, she does not seem to be outstanding and excellent in the classes offered at Hogwarts, and naturally does not receive special attention from the professor.

The average teacher tends to pay special attention to only two kinds of students, the diligent and inquisitive eugenics, and the prickly ones who are keen to break the rules.

As for the other students who are a little more modest, the professor can't allocate more energy to them.

"In addition to this, it is said that those who can stump it will be rewarded with it. Luna looked at Malfoy expectantly.

"Yes. Malfoy looked at the notebook on the wall, and couldn't help but smile mysteriously, and his heart was a little eager to try, and a little mischievous thought came to him.

"Then I'll try. Malfoy said.
