Chapter 775: Helena's mother loves pudding
When Katie Bell appeared at Hogwarts Hall at breakfast, it caused many people to exclaim.
Bobby Pomfrey, a therapist at the Hogwarts School Infirmary, stopped Katie and insisted on giving her another check-up, and after confirming that Katie had indeed recovered without any after-effects, Miss Pomfrey left the Great Hall with a look of disbelief.
It was the first time Katie had encountered anything like this, and as she walked through the hallway, people from all walks stood up and stared at her. And the little lions of Gryffindor applauded and cheered enthusiastically to welcome Katie's return.
Ryan hugged Katie and looked at her friend, "You're recovering?!Great, eh, didn't Dumbledore personally diagnose you and assert that you would have to lie in St. Mungo's Hospital for at least three months to recover?"
"Of course, no problem, I had a miracle at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses. Katie grabbed her friend's hand with some excitement. On the side, the Quidditch players, who had a good relationship with Katie, couldn't help but wonder what was going on.
Katie told them how she had been cursed, but what excites Katie the most and makes everyone most curious is what Katie said about meeting Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts, while in the hospital, and being cured from it.
"That's it, Lady Rowena Ravenclaw did not actually die, but became a true god, and she used her supreme power to make my curse healed in an instant, and brought me into contact with a world of great wonders. Katie described the incident with a reverent expression, and the reverence in her eyes did not seem to be false at all.
"I asked Ravenclaw to free more wizards from the afflictions of illness, and Lady Ravenclaw granted my request for my sake. Katie puffed out her chest proudly, for the well-being she was fighting for, "The patients at St. Mungo's Hospital prayed sincerely to the statue of Ravenclaw every day in the moonlight, and Ms. Ravenclaw would use the night of the full moon to select three of the most devout wizards and ask them a puzzle to which Ravenclaw would be cured by the answers that satisfied them." β
"The Ravenclaw common room is all about answering questions to enter, and that's really Ravenclaw's style, and it's all about being intellectual. You say, Gryffindor, are they still alive, I mean, if Ravenclaw can do it, will the other three founders also become gods?" Neville felt that he needed to read more books that could develop wisdom in the future, considering that he himself was often injured and sick in accidents, and Neville thought that he would use it sooner or later...
Harry helped his glasses, "Slytherin, just don't live..."
"Why did you stay in St. Mungo's for a few more days when you were cured?" asked Lean, puzzled.
"How can you be sure it's really Ravenclaw?" Seamus tapped his hands in his trouser pockets and the forefoot of his right foot on the ground, "It sounds like you're dreaming or ingesting hallucinogenic herbs by mistake." β
"I'm cured! Even Dumbledore said it would take at least three months, but I was cured in an instant! This is not my hallucination, and the reason why I stayed in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for a few more days was because Professor Alan Harris heard about it and donated money to build a small shrine and place it in the hospital. I will proclaim the love of wise Ravenclaw to the sorcerers who are afflicted with sickness. Katie's eyes lit up with a fanatical look, "If it weren't for St. Mungo's Hospital to drive me back, I would have planned to leave after Christmas, and the holiday is only a few days away..."
Seamus leaned forward, "Professor Harris? Professor Harris also believes that it was a Ravenclaw and not some hallucination of yours?"
Professor Harris didn't say anything about it, but he was curious, so he donated money to build this shrine and put it in the hospital, to see if it would turn out as I suggested, and if it could really allow the pious and wise wizards to be healed. Katie rested her hands on the table, her body straight.
"Neville, I have a Muggle cousin who lives in Texas, USA, and he mentioned that many of their hospitals have chapels. Flegg whispered to Neville beside him, "Having a chapel in the hospital can really relieve the tension and anxiety of the patient's family to a great extent, even atheists in times of despair and grief will inevitably want to believe in the existence of gods and bless their loved ones to survive the difficulties." β
"Katie, didn't you say that Ravenclaw's original form wasn't a five-headed fire dragon? Alan Harris's Patronus Charm image changed from a phoenix to a five-headed fire dragon during the previous summer vacation, and the shadow raven you told me he would use and the robes on his body..." If you want me to say, if Ravenclaw really still exists, then Alan Harris must have something to do with her, maybe that's why he's so powerful, you saw Ms. Gray's relationship with him during the vacation last semester, and you all followed him back for the summer!"
"Oh, Ron, you've always been so careful and clever to get to the bottom of things. Lavender Brown giggled and hugged her boyfriend's arm.
Parvati looked at the two of them who were too sweet and greasy with an expression of eating crow droppings: "You think too much Ron, my sister Padma in Ravenclaw told me that it was the famous crazy girl who had a good relationship with Lady Gray, and you all know that she didn't have many friends at school, if it weren't for Professor Harris... She probably had been bullied by other people, so it wasn't surprising that the mad girl had made friends with the ghost, and I heard that she had been inseparable from their house ghost a few semesters ago, and that Professor Harris had invited Ms. Gray for her last semester. β
Katie's eyes lit up, "Yes, Lady Gray's real name is Helena Ravenclaw, maybe she knows something about her mother, I'll have to ask her a chance." β
At Christmas, when snowflakes swirl down from the sky, the windows of Hogwarts Castle are covered with frozen lattices, and Christmas is just around the corner, and Hagrid has moved the twelve Christmas trees that are indispensable in the Great Hall every year. Alan found time to help Professor Flitwick with the task of setting up the Great Hall: the railings of the stairs were covered with holly and metal foil, the armor was polished and shiny, and the hallways were hung with bunches of mistletoe at intervals, much to the delight of the girls, who were always standing under the mistletoe and laughing and laughing.
Harry and Ron walked down the newly decorated hallway, and Ron looked full of energy and said triumphantly, "Laffer and I, I just can't stop saying that, the chemistry of love in the legend." Whether we will last long, who knows, the key is that I am free. β
Ron's affectionate name for Lavender made Harry feel a little sick, and because of this, Harry had been avoiding getting too close to Ron lately, otherwise he would often have to see Lavender Brown and Ron together, the girl seemed to waste every moment not kissing Ron, and she seemed to be more fond of using her body to express her emotions than other witches.
Harry left Ron behind and went to the library alone, he needed to finish reading "The Fifth Element: Exploration" before Charms class tomorrow morning, just as he walked through the rows of shelves in the library, trying to find a suitable seat, Romilda Vanney, who was sitting in front of the far window, opened her big black eyes, protruding chin slightly raised, waved to Harry enthusiastically, and after Harry nodded to her in response, Romilda's long black curls fell to her chest, and the voice of a stupid laugh was eye-catching.
Then Harry felt a punch in his ribs, and Harry clutched his waist for a long time after a "ho".
"I'm sorry Harry, I didn't control my strength. Hermione emerged from the bookshelf with a few books and a few pieces of parchment in one hand, and her empty left hand was the one who had caused Harry to feel like his spleen had almost been knocked out.
"Ahem... What are you doing, Hermione!" Harry clutched his ribs and gasped, he thought he must be bruised.
"I want to ask you what you're looking at! You can't be sorry for Ginny! Those girls are interested in you because of your reputation as a so-called savior. Hermione wrinkled her nose and her tone was full of disgust, "These girls were still liking Alan before last year, but after Alan Harris of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic chased away the mystery man, they probably felt that the status difference was too great, so they set their sights and targets on you, a savior who is relatively easy to get close to." β
"I turned her down in the first place! Besides, Eren himselfβ" Harry looked at Hermione's serious threat and analysis, and couldn't help but retort, but was glared at by Miss Know-it-all and changed his mind because of his strong desire to survive, "But I am indeed a savior, at least the former savior." β
Then Harry was slapped with parchment by Hermione.
"Okay, sorry, uh, just kidding. Harry shrank back, regretting why he had to skin himself, "Don't worry, I've already invited Ginny to Professor Slughorn's party after the Christmas party, are you going with Alan?"
Hermione nodded in satisfaction when she heard that her friend had invited her best friend, and then approached the bookshelf, the magic of the bookshelf made her borrow books fly back to where they were supposed to be, "Yes, I'll go with Alan, but I'm not as easy as you and Ginny, Professor Slughorn will invite a lot of the members of the Slug Club to come over today, I have to let them establish some connection with the umbrella." β
On the other side of Harry and Hermione's bookshelf, Luna, accompanied by Helena, was looking at an old knight on the long table.
Helena's transparent eyes swept over Romilda's body: "Mom, the weeping myrtle told me that when she was in the girls' bathroom, she saw at least a dozen girls, including Romida Vanney, who wanted to be taken by Potter to Slughorn's party, and were still discussing how to get Potter to drink the aphrodisiac. Do you want to remind him to be careful?"
"Why do you want to be reminded?" Luna looked up at her daughter, "This is the goods that George and Fred disguised as perfume and cough drops for the owl to deliver, this is the product of the Weasley Trick that Hermione invested in, and your father's business." β
Helena turned to Luna with a blank face: "Mother, why is it that Hermione Granger and Dad went to the banquet again, didn't that slug boy invite you too?"
"I'm going to accompany you. Luna's singing voice made Helena float back two steps, and she was already familiar with her mother's habits, so she didn't believe that Luna was answering with her mouth open, obviously talking nonsense.
Looking at her daughter's appearance, Luna changed her explanation: "They have to talk about business, it's too troublesome." Then, she returned the book to the shelf, "Helena, and remember to remind me to bring my camera when the time comes." β
"Yes, Mother. Helena had just finished agreeing and looked at Katie, who had entered the library and started running in her direction again, "I'll go back to the Ravenclaw common room first, that Gryffindor is too troublesome." β
After saying that, Helena didn't wait for Luna to respond, turned around and quickly drifted away through the wall.
Katie reached out to stop Ms. Gray as she was leaving, but she didn't dare to yell at the library, as Mrs. Pince was still patrolling the library with a broomβshe had already been deducted two points for not paying attention to her a few previous pesters.
Although Ms. Gray was reluctant to see her, Katie, who was accustomed to the fact that she was known for her habit of only occasionally talking to Ravenclaw students, did not intend to give up, and this time she saw Luna who was staying with Ms. Gray again, and planned to take a look at her side.
Katie gave up the chase and strolled over to Luna, who looked down and smiled a little awkwardly but flatteringly to Luna, "Miss Lovegood, could you tell me how I can be friends with Miss Gray? I was just thinking that if I could know the preferences of Lady Ravenclaw, I would at least bring some tribute with me the next time I went to St. Mungo's Hospital to pray. β
"Pudding. When Luna heard the tribute, her bulging eyes widened and she moved closer to Katie, "Mother Helena loves pudding. β
"Uh... That's great... Thank you for your help... Then Miss Lovegood, I'll go firstβ" Katie could only force a smile at Luna, then quickly left the library and muttered, "The crazy girl is talking crazy again." β
