11, tower
Don't follow the protagonist's example without the protagonist's life--- Hofa Bach
At this moment, he wanted to cry without tears, damn himself, he was really miserable, just start low. What about respecting your own choices? The Sorting Hat really doesn't care about its own choices!
After the Sorting Cap makes a decision.
There was a faint applause at the second-row table on the left, much lower than Tom Riddle's voice when he was seated. It should be one of the lowest applause ever.
Moreover, this applause more or less contained the meaning of relief, and he dragged on for too long, causing others to starve to death.
As soon as he reached the Ravenclaw table, Hoffa felt a sword-like gaze.
Following the gaze, in the corner, Aglaia crossed her arms, and her blue ghost-like eyes were full of coldness and anger.
At this point, Hoffa didn't want to bother with her anymore, so he found the diagonal and sat down at the farthest point of the long table from Aglaia.
Not long after Hoffa left, Miranda also sat on the high stool, the only difference was that Vice Principal Goshawk personally put a hat on her, and did not avoid suspicion in the slightest.
It didn't take long for the hat to call out Ravenclaw, and she was sorted into Ravenclaw as well.
Miranda took off her hat indifferently and sat down opposite Hoffa: "It seems that we are still classmates." β
"yes. β
Seeing Miranda coming, Hoffa felt a little better.
Anyway, not all people in this academy are Aglaea, so it's enough to stay away from her.
Thirty minutes later, the sorting ended.
......
Professor Goshawk put away the parchment and tapped his wand on the barstool casually.
The stool and hat disappeared at the same time.
He turned and sat back in the faculty seat.
Hoffa was already hungry, and he remembered that he had only eaten a small snack today. The others were the same, surrounded by the sound of cooing hungry stomachs.
But it's not over yet, the faculty chair is central. Headmaster Armando Duppet stood up.
The moment he stood up, there was a fire all around, and the whole hall was brightly lit.
(Hoffa complained to himself, what a pompous old man.) οΌ
His gloomy eyes scanned around, coughed, and said solemnly:
"First of all, I would like to emphasize with you the old rules, those who wander at night without permission will be immediately placed in school for observation, and if they commit a second offense, they will be expelled immediately. Those who enter the Forbidden Forest without permission will be expelled from the wand as soon as they are discovered. Unauthorized captivity of illegal creatures will be fined one month of labor ......."
Armandor talked for nearly ten minutes, all of a variety of rules.
"My God......."
Hoffa covered his face with his hands and sighed again why he had traveled back in time to 1938. Compared to Dumbledore's time, Hogwarts at this time was almost like an electrotherapy school for internet addiction.
Finally, the rules are finished.
Armando Duppet coughed twice: "There are some new changes this year, due to the tense situation in the wizarding circles of European countries, the Ministry of Magic has set up a special teleportation point in the school hunting ground, and students above the sixth grade can go to a special area for Auror training after obtaining approval. β
With that, the old headmaster sat down.
Immediately, the table burst into applause.
Hoffa also applauded after him, gaining a better understanding of the current state of Hogwarts.
No wonder it is so strict, probably it has something to do with the imminent Second World War. Indeed, in the era of Harry's birth, the world was peaceful, and nothing changed much. No one said anything if they ate and died, and the school could be very relaxed.
But in this era, maybe you are not waiting for death, but looking for death.
After the applause, there was a crisp sound with a jingle bell.
Suddenly, a large amount of food appeared on the plate in front of Hoffa.
All are appetizers, fresh consumption, crab meat, foie gras jelly, assorted ice fruits, Russian black caviar. All kinds of fresh fruit juices.
Huo Fa looked at the seniors around him, and quickly took a little.
The taste is delicious. It makes people have an appetite.
After a few minutes, the contents of the plate disappeared.
Then came the staple dishes, roast beef, fried lamb chops, grilled pork chops, London chops, chicken wings, baked cauliflower, baked lobster, cabbage, mashed potatoes, croissants, muffins......
There are so many types that Hoffa can't count, and they all say that British cooks can't do it, but this time it opened his eyes. I'm afraid that the house-elves at Hogwarts are all invited from abroad.
After eating, the previous serious atmosphere slowly disappeared, and the people around began to talk and laugh.
As he ate, Hoffa listened to the seniors next to him talk about everything from Quidditch to national events, from lace news to celebrities in the witch world.
I ate it with relish, and I listened to it with relish.
Moreover, these seniors of Ravenclaw also have their own opinions when they speak, and they really deserve to be the wisest colleges.
The ghosts also emerged from all corners of the castle, and instead of seeing the Peeves he wanted to see, Hoffa saw a robed female ghost, who was beautiful and wore a crown floating past the Ravenclaw table, greeting the others very gracefully.
Her Ravenclaw apparition, Helena Ravenclaw.
She is also the daughter of the four founders, Rowena Ravenclaw.
Popularly known as Ms. Gray.
It is very eye-catching, and it is the most beautiful ghost in Hogwarts.
Ravenclaw isn't bad either, Hoffa cut a lamb chop, thinking secretly.
After eating the staple food, it is soup, mushroom thick chicken soup, creamy tomato soup, French lamb and onion soup, oxtail soup.
Seeing these foods, Hoffa somewhat regretted that the staple food stuffed himself too full.
The students are very good at eating, but the professors in the faculty chairs are more indifferent. Halfway through the banquet, Hoffa saw that Principal Armando Duppet had left, and Vice-Principal Goshawk was following him, and the two seemed to have something to discuss, and their expressions were serious.
Hoffa asked Miranda, "What did your grandfather teach?"
Miranda drank the juice lightly and said, "He is the director of Ravenclaw House, and he teaches charms, but I remind you that you should never go against him in class." β
Dean Ravenclaw, Hoffa dumbfounded.
This old man seems to be even stricter than Professor McGonagall, but I am afraid that some of them will suffer in the future.
The soup is over, and dessert appears on the plate again.
Jelly, crème brûlée, apple crepes, mousse, and rum-flavored ice cream.
Hoffa couldn't eat it anymore, so he had to hold his stomach and grab some rum ice cream. I thought that I must restrain myself at the next banquet.
After eating, a familiar figure stood up on the faculty seat.
It's a younger version of Dumbledore.
As soon as he stood up, the students began to applaud enthusiastically.
The applause was much more genuine than when Headmaster Armando Duppet spoke, and Dumbledore was very popular at any given time.
Dumbledore tapped his glass and smiled, "The prefects will take the students back to the common room, but we have one more important business to do before we can do that." β
The students of the four academies all clapped their hands and laughed: "Sing, sing!"
Gryffindor was the most heckling, and the Ravenclaw students were smiling.
Miranda whispered to Hoffa, "He's the greatest Transfiguration teacher ever, and can transform into hundreds of animals." β
Hoffa didn't know this, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"
Of course, he helped write Agmanis's bill. The answer was a senior next to him.
On the faculty seat, Dumbledore waved his wand.
All the remaining juice in the students' cups suddenly turned into streamers and burst out.
A student who was about to drink juice was caught off guard by the streamer and burst into laughter.
Dumbledore: "Ready!
So all the teachers and students sang loudly:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Teach us knowledge,
Whether we are old people
Or a child who falls on his knee,
Our minds can be receptive
Something interesting
Because now the brain is empty and full of air
......
Hoffa couldn't sing, but he shook his head and shook his legs to the song.
After the singing, the atmosphere reached its climax.
Dumbledore opened his arms and shouted to loud applause, "Don't forget, even in the toughest of times, magic and music are with you. β
.......
At the end of the banquet, the four prefects led the students out of the hall and walked to their respective lounges.
Speaking of which, Hoffa knew the Gryffindor common room best, probably better than some of the old students, but he didn't know anything about the Ravenclaw common room.
Their prefect was an old acquaintance, a guy who couldn't be more acquainted with Hofa.
Filius Flitwick.
So much so that at first sight of him, Hoffa called out his name, which startled the little prefect.
He now had a clean face, no beard, and was quite handsome, about the height of Indor. A few years later, he became the head of Ravenclaw and taught Harry Potter. He is a good-natured man.
Flitwick walked as he explained the history of Ravenclaw to the newbies.
"Our academy was founded by Rowena Ravenclaw and symbolizes the wind among the four elements. The symbol animal is the eagle, of course, the eagle does not live in a short place, if you have leg problems, I think you should go to the school doctor first. β
Someone around chuckled.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Hoffa followed Captain Flitwick higher and higher, and the magic steps under his feet were constantly changing positions, helping them climb higher and higher like building blocks.
Finally, when they reached the top floor of Ravenclawta, some of the newcomers who were afraid of heights were afraid to look down, because only sporadic fires could be seen below.
Hoffa estimates that the tower is at least 300 meters high...... He looked weak for a while. If it weren't for the help of the stairs, God knows how long it would have been.
Flitwick laughed, "The first rule of Ravenclaw 75, don't throw anything under the tower. β
The freshmen laughed dryly.
The prefect walked with a shivering novice across a not-so-wide air bridge, and a group of people came to a huge portrait of a knight.
The armored knight in the portrait slowly bends down, and next to the portrait is a statue of an eagle standing on a brass ring.
Seeing everyone coming, the eagle spread its cyan metal wings and asked.
[If you abandon me or mingle with me, you will surely die, but in your body I am the source of life]
Flitwick stepped aside: "There is no password in the Ravenclaw Lounge, you must answer the statue's question before you can enter the lounge." β
The freshmen all lowered their heads, and everyone pondered the statue's question.
At this time, there was a chuckle from the crowd, and the silver-haired woman Aglaia said proudly: "It's too simple, the answer is water." β
The surrounding students all showed expressions of surprise and reverence.
Flitwick snapped his fingers.
"Exactly, it's a pity that I'm not a professor and can't give you extra points. β
The metal eagle closed its wings.
The knight straightened up, and the portrait slowly opened, revealing a blue corridor hidden behind it.
Hoffa sighed. He saw Hermione's shadow in the silverhead.
They are the kind of people who are smart and proud.
Walking into the lounge, it is a large circular room. There were some soft cushions on the floor, as well as a few seats.
With elegant arched windows on the walls, hung with blue and bronze silk fluttering in the wind, Hoffa could see the stars at night as if they were lights shining in the sky. There are also foggy distant mountains in the distance, as far as the eye can see, and the wind sweeps through the milky white light clouds, which seem so quiet and peaceful.
The ceiling is a dome with stars on top and stars on the dark blue carpet below. The room has a table, chairs, bookshelves, and a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw in the niche opposite the door. A door next to the statue leads to the dormitory above.
The environment is very quiet.
Some of the older students sat cross-legged on cushions on the ground, some were reading, some were playing chess, some were simply closing their eyes and recuperating, probably meditating.
Seeing the new students coming, those seniors only nodded slightly, and then went on to busy their own affairs.
Hoffa walked to the window, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and leaned on the railing to blow the breeze. The air is filled with the scent of honeysuckle that is characteristic of the night. For a moment, the meditation method of the Milarepa walker actually worked automatically.
Not refusing this instinctive feeling, Hoffa sat down on the cushion by the window. Started my own meditation.
He felt that perhaps the Sorting Hat had made the best decision for him.
Between exhaling and inhaling, his fingers coiled into odd positions.
His spirit spread like a spider's web within the Ravenclaw tower, but only in the common room. Whenever he tried to extend his spirit out of the public room, he only came into contact with endless darkness. I don't know if it's because he's not mentally minded or if there's a magic barrier here.
Time could not be felt during meditation, and by the time he finished his meditation, the people around him were almost gone.
But there are two more people.
Miranda sat on the carpet by the bookshelf, reading by the magic light.
The girl, Aglaia, sat on the chair and wrote and drawn. I don't know what I'm writing, it's densely packed on parchment.
Seeing Hoffa get up, Aglaia glanced at him coldly and sneered faintly.
Miranda closed the book and stood up with Hoffa.
The two walked to the fork in the men's and women's dormitories,
Miranda suddenly whispered, "Did you offend Aglaia?"
Hoffa muttered, "If it's an offense to run away, indeed." β
Miranda chuckled: "Then you can bear it, Meiwa is a very vengeful creature." β
"What?" said Hoffa, slightly shocked, "She's a baby?"
"It's not a pure girl, but she definitely has a baby's blood, and Driesse is a French surname, which is very similar to you. β
After saying that, she said goodnight and walked into the girls' dormitory. β
Huo Fafa burrowed into the boys' dormitory.
The dormitory was on the top floor of the tower, and there were four four-poster beds in the room, and his roommates were already asleep.
There was a dark blue velvet curtain hanging next to the bed, and his backpack was placed next to the bed.
Hoffa stripped off and went to bed, but there was a little doubt in his heart.
Why didn't the silver-haired woman go to Beauxbatons and come to England to study?
