William and a group of first-year wizards, led by Sister Penelope, walked through the noisy crowd and walked out of the dining room and up the marble staircase.

The people in the portraits on both sides of the corridor point and point as they pass by, and occasionally exchange words with the people in the portraits next to them.

"Welcome to Ravenclaw College!" As she walked, Sister Penelope introduced to the freshmen behind her,

"The symbol of Ravenclaw is the eagle flying in the sky, as it hovers at heights that other creatures can't reach. I don't mean to boast, but this academy is home to some of the brightest wizards.

Our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, valued knowledge above all else, and so did the students here. We believe that extraordinary wisdom is the greatest asset of mankind.

Ravenclaw College has a glorious history, and most of the greatest inventors and reformers in the wizarding world came from our college, such as Popetua Van Kot, who invented the moon mirror; Lavien de Montmorency, the originator of the aphrodisiac; and Ignatia Wildsmith, the inventor of Floo powder. “

Indeed, as Penelope said, Ravenclaw has produced countless inventors in its long history, and many things that can change the wizarding world were invented by Ravenclaws.

Penelope led the freshmen through the ever-changing staircase before continuing, "Our students are the most unique, and some could even be called eccentric, but we think that genius is the one who tends to stand out from the crowd.

Unlike other colleges, we believe that you have the right to wear what you want, to believe in the opinions you want to believe, and to express your feelings.

We don't see people who are out of the ordinary as obstacles; On the contrary, we value them. ”

"Speaking of quirkiness, you're going to love our Dean, Professor Philas Flitwick.

Despite his small stature and high-pitched voice. But don't underestimate him, he's arguably the best and most knowledgeable spellmaster in the world right now.

The door to his office was always open to Ravenclaws who were experiencing all kinds of problems. And if you're upset, he'll pull some delicious little cakes out of the can in his desk drawer and direct them to dance for you.

Truth be told, just to watch their swing dance, it's worth pretending that you really have some situation. At this, Penelope winked playfully at William.

Soon, after climbing up the spiraling stairs for seven or eight minutes, Penelope led the freshman, who was already slightly out of breath, to a door with an eagle-shaped knocker, but strangely there was no doorknob on the door.

Unlike other colleges that hide their common room entrances, Ravenclaw doesn't need to.

The door to our common room is at the end of a soaring spiral staircase with no doorknobs on it, only a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle's head.

When you knock on the door, the knocker will ask you a question, and as long as you give the correct answer, you will be able to enter the common room.

This simple obstacle has succeeded in stopping all students who are not Ravenclaw for nearly a millennium. After saying this, Penelope stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"Fire or Phoenix, which comes first?" An ethereal voice rang out from the hawk's beak.

"Does anyone want to try this?" Penelope looked at the freshmen and asked.

"I'll try," William stepped out of the crowd and came to the eagle's knocker.

"Fire or Phoenix, which comes first?" The knocker repeats the question again.

William thought for a moment and gave his own answer, "There is no order, this is a cycle. ”

"Not bad." The Eagle Ring replied, and the closed door slowly opened.

"Well done, William." After praising William, Penelope continued to say to the freshmen,

"Soon, you'll find that it's a great experience to think about these questions, and trust me, you're going to love the challenge that the doorring presents.

When you return to the tower, it's not uncommon for more than twenty people to be standing in the doorway of the break room thinking about the answer to today's question. This provides a great opportunity to meet classmates from different grade levels.

However, this can sometimes be quite inconvenient, for example, if you are in a hurry to go back to your dorm room to get the Quidditch robes you forgot. So, I recommend that you double-check that you have everything in your bag before leaving Ravenclawa. ”

With that, the girl led the freshmen into the Ravenclaw common room.

As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a large circular room.

Inside, the walls of the house are decorated with elegant arched windows and covered with blue and bronze silks. Looking further up, the ceiling is made in the shape of a dome with stars.

Bow your head, the dark blue carpet below is also adorned with stars.

The room has a table, chairs, bookshelves, and a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw in an alcove facing the door.

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

Sister Penelope looked at the stunned freshmen and smiled proudly. She walked briskly to the window and continued,

"Ravenclaw's colors are blue and bronze, and Ravenclaw has the most expansive lounge in all of Hogwarts, with a view of the school grounds from the window: the Great Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the greenhouse. It's a beauty that no other college can ever see. ”

Finally, standing in front of the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, Sister Penelope looked at the freshmen and finally said, "As for our relationship with the other three houses, well, I think you may have heard something about Slytherin.

Not all of them are bad, but it's better to be cautious until you get to know them well. They have an ancient house tradition of going to great lengths to get there, so be careful with them, especially during Quidditch matches and exams.

Gryffindors are all good, and if I had to give some criticism, I'd say they sometimes like to show off. They are far less tolerant of different people than we are.

When it comes to Hufflepuffs, no one thinks they're not good people. Truth be told, they're probably the friendliest bunch in the whole school. Suffice it to say that you don't have to worry too much about competing with them when you compete and take exams.

That's pretty much it. Oh yes, the ghost of our house is Ms. Gray.

The rest of the school thought she never spoke, but Ms. Gray was very welcoming to the Ravenclaw students. She's more than willing to help if you get lost or lose something.

Follow the door next to the dormitory to your dormitory, the lower floor is the men's dormitory, and the upper level is the girls' dormitory. There is a door sign outside the dormitory with your name written on it.

By the way, I want to make it clear that girls are allowed to enter the boys' dormitories, but boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitories.

The doors of the girls' dormitories are magically forbidden, and no one has been able to enter the girls' dormitories for hundreds of years.

Your luggage has been placed on the head of your bed, and the owl has been sent to the owl shack, which is located in the West Tower next to the tower, a short distance from the Ravenclaw Tower, where Professor Flitwick's office is located.

Finally, congratulations again on being one of the brightest, most distinctive, and most interesting houses in Hogwarts. ”

After Penelope said this, the young wizards applauded, and William took out a bottle of butterbeer from the magic bag and handed it to the girl.

"That's a great talk, would you like a bottle of butterbeer to moisten your throat?" William praised with a smile. William could feel that the girl was really a little tired, after all, since she came out of the auditorium, she had been explaining all the way and basically did not rest.

The girl first glanced at William in surprise, then took the beer and took a big sip.

"Merlin is on top! Comfortable to death. Thank you for the beer, I feel so much better now. She let out a pleasant call, and then explained to William, "This set of welcome words was written by the previous Ravenclaw seniors, and I am just reading it from the book. ”

"By the way, this is your class schedule for this semester, I just forgot to send it, can you help me send these to you boys?" Senpai Penelope took out a stack of class schedules from her bosom and pulled out a few of them and handed them to William.

"Of course it's no problem, then I'll go to the dormitory first, good night, Sister Penelope."

"Good night, William."
