Chapter 14 Common Rooms

"Everyone is following me, don't be left behind!" Prefect Penelo Crivat's soft but powerful voice rang out at the front of the line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dialects came first, followed by Cho Zhang, who gathered in the Ravenclaw student line, walking behind Prefect Penelo Crivat to the Ravenclaw common room.

On the way, they come across a quaintly dressed female ghost, who seems to be immersed in her own world with a sad face. Prefect Penelope Crivat and several senior students saw the ghost lady and hurriedly saluted in a respectful tone: "Good evening, Lady Gray! ”

It was as if Ms. Gray had only seen a large group of people in front of her. She didn't speak, but she lifted the hem of her skirt and returned to an ancient salute, and floated away. It can be seen that this ghost lady must have been a wise and well-educated lady during her lifetime.

As if seeing the curious expressions of the freshmen, one of the older boys explained, "This Lady Gray is our Ravenclaw ghost, and she has been at Hogwarts for a long time. Don't look at her as unapproachable, but Ms. Gray is very kind and caring to us Ravenclaw students, and if any of you have any questions, you may want to go to Ms. Gray, and she will be happy to answer them most of the time. ”

Prefect Penelope Crivat also continued, "According to rumors, Lady Gray seems to have a relationship with Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House, so you must be respectful when you see Lady Gray. ”

Fang Yan pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart, this is not a little related, this Lady Gray is Rowena Ravenclaw's biological daughter after all! At this time, he also remembered that this Lady Gray was not the Helena Ravenclaw mentioned in the original book, the one who stole the Ravenclaw crown and made her mother angry and sick. It was also the one who later told Voldemort the location of the Ravenclaw crown.

The Ravenclaw Tower, located to the west of Hogwarts Castle, houses the Ravenclaw common room and quarters. When they reached a wooden board at the top of the tower with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on it, the prefects and seniors stopped. Just as the freshmen were wondering why the prefects didn't push the door in, the eagle-like brass ring opened its mouth as if it suddenly came to life: "Is the tone of the seventh syllable of the levitation spell up or down?" ”

"Neither, it's tiled." It didn't take Penelo Clearat to say the answer, but it wasn't one of the two options offered by Eagle Ring.

"Correct!" The eagle ring made a clicking sound, and it turned back into a dead thing, motionless. The freshmen watched with curiosity in their eyes.

Pushing the door in, Penelo Crivat explained to the freshmen as he walked, "I don't mean to be pompous, this is where the smartest witches and wizards live. Like our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, we make learning our primary ability. We don't need to have hidden common room entrances like other colleges, and Ravenclaw lounges never turn away students from other houses, as long as you can answer the questions posed by the doorway. Of course, it can also deliberately mislead you, and it is up to you to judge this. For almost a thousand years, no one but Ravenclaw could pass through this simple barrier. ”

"Some first-year students are scared of Eagle Ring's questions, don't worry. Ravenclaw is a good learner, and you'll soon learn to enjoy the challenges set by the Eagle Ring. It's not uncommon for 20 people to stand at the door of the common room, trying to answer questions for the day together. It's a great opportunity to get to know other Ravenclaw year groups and learn from them – but it's a little annoying when you forget about your Quidditch suit and need to rush in and out. Therefore, I advise you to double-check your bags before leaving Ravenclawa. ”

Penelo Criwatt led the way, and one by one the freshmen stepped through the door. As far as the eye can see, there is a large circular room with elegant arched windows on the walls, hung in blue and bronze silks, from which Ravenclaw students can see the Hogwarts campus during the day: the Great Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch Pitch and the Conservatory. Other faculties don't have the privilege of enjoying it. 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 to the left of the statue leads to the dormitory above. The door on the right, according to Penelope Criveat, is the library of Ravenclaw's own college, and Ravenclaw is the only of the four colleges to have a private library.

"Alright." Penelo Crivat clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. She stood in the middle of the students and said loudly, "The old students can go up and rest, and the new students will wait here for a while." ”

The seniors walked in groups and twos to the dormitories upstairs, saying goodnight to each other. The freshmen stood still, bewildered, looking at Penelo Crivat with puzzled eyes.

"Klein, go get those things." Penelope Crivat commanded to a tall boy who hadn't gone upstairs yet.

The boy didn't speak, but nodded his head to indicate that he understood. Instead of going back to his dormitory, he walked through the door to the library on the right, presumably to pick up what Penelope had said.

While waiting, Fang Yan looked at the lounge with curiosity. Finally, his gaze rested on the bookshelf filled with notebooks. He wondered how the shelves were filled with not books, but notebooks, some of which he knew were a long time ago.

As the prefect of Ravenclaw, Penelope naturally needs to pay some attention to this year's freshmen to see which talents are worth focusing on. The dialect that is very conspicuous among the freshmen is naturally the object of her attention, followed by Qiu Zhang.

At this time, she saw that Fang Yan's eyes were on the bookshelf, so she took the initiative to introduce: "The notes on this bookshelf are all left by the outstanding students of Ravenclaw before graduation, and they record the doubts, problems and solutions they have had in the past seven years of study. The author of each notebook has at least one aspect of outstanding talent to be qualified to leave a mark here. It can be said that the answer to almost every problem you encounter in your future studies can be found here. ”

"Oh?" Although Fang Yan was strange that Penelope, the prefect, would suddenly talk to him, he did not refuse her kindness, and after a little silence, he directly said his question: "I see that these notes don't seem to be ordered, is there any special significance in this arrangement?"
