Chapter 12: The Tower and Ravenclaw (Well, a very watery chapter)
Kevin watched as Hermione and Neville were assigned to Gryffindor, and the savior named Harry Potter was also assigned to Gryffindor, and the entire Gryffindor house was boiling, shouting "We've got Potter, we've got Potter." ”
Kevin lifted his forehead and smiled helplessly.
"Kevin Albert"
When it was Kevin's turn, Kevin walked up to the stage, and Professor McGonagall nodded at him.
The hat was placed on Kevin's head, and Kevin felt that a special magic was entering his memory! Kevin instantly thought of a countermeasure, quickly activated the magic power, and rushed towards the magic power, only to let the magic power detect the memories of the past few months, and immediately expel the magic power from his mind.
"um, very smart, very strong, very capable, very love to learn. Is it Ravenclaw, or is it Slyerin?" the Sorting Hat said to himself
"Mr. Hat, I choose Ravenclaw!" Kevin's firm tone made the Sorting Hat stunned for a moment.
"Ravenclaw, then!" the Sorting Hat shouted out Kevin's belonging.
Kevin was removed from his hat and bowed to the stage, turning and walking towards Ravenclaw's table. There was a welcome round of applause from the Ravenclaw table.
Kevin sat down in the seat that had already been vacated, nodded to the seniors who were watching him, and continued to look at the sorting house.
Soon the sorting was over, and after Dumbledore's welcome speech, a sumptuous dinner appeared at the tables of the four houses. Kevin picked out a few foods of interest. Start your dinner.
As the opening party ended, Kevin and the freshmen followed the seniors in front of them and walked towards the Ravenclaw Tower, during which Kevin saw moving oil paintings, moving stairs, and ghosts swimming everywhere.
Coming to a door with a bronze knocker with an eagle's head, Kevin watched as the senior answered the question raised by the knocker and opened the door. Freshmen flocked into the common room.
The senior turned back to the freshmen and said.
I'm Prefect Robert Hydri, and I'm excited to welcome you to Ravenclaw College. Our emblem is an eagle soaring high above the summit, our colors are sky blue and bronze, and our common room is located at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower, hidden behind a door with a magic knocker. The arched windows of the circular common room offer a panoramic view of the Hogwarts campus: the Great Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch Pitch and the Conservatory. No other college is blessed with this view.
I don't mean to be pompous, this is where the smartest witches and wizards live. Like our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw, we make learning a priority. We don't need to have hidden common room entrances like other colleges. Our common room door sits at the top of a long, curved staircase with no handles and features a enchanted eagle-shaped bronze knocker. When you knock on the door, the Eagle Ring will ask you questions, and if you can answer correctly, you will be allowed to enter. For nearly a thousand years, no one but Ravenclaw could pass through this simple barrier.
Some first-year students are afraid of Eagle Ring's questions, so 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 meet Ravenclaw students from other grade levels and learn from them – but when you forget about your Quidditch suits and need to rush in and out, it's a little annoying. Therefore, I recommend that you double-check your bag before leaving Ravenclawa.
Ravenclaw has another cool element: our people are very egos – some would even call them quirky. But geniuses are usually at a different pace than ordinary people, unlike some academies, where we think you can wear whatever you like, believe in whatever you want, and say whatever you like. We don't resent people who are different;
Speaking of eccentricity, you'll love our Dean, Professor Filius Flitwick. People often underestimate him because he's really small (we think he's of elven blood, but we've never asked him rudely) and has a high-pitched voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable spell professor alive in the world. His office door is always open to any problematic Ravenclaw, and if you're not happy, he'll let out those delicious pocket cakes hidden in a tin in your desk drawer and let them dance in front of you. Actually, you can pretend to be unhappy so that you can see the cakes dancing the cowboys, and it's really worth a try.
Ravenclaw has an illustrious history. Most of the great wizard inventors and innovators came from our Academy, including Pepitus Van Court, inventor of the Moonscope, Ravenid Moritus, the Great Love Potions Pioneer, and Ignatia Wildsmith, inventor of Floo Powder. Notable Ravenclaw ministers of magic include Millison Bongonard, who happened to be in office on the night Harry Potter escaped from the Dark Lord's curse, and defended the celebration of wizards throughout England in his own words: "I insist that the Celebration is our inalienable right. And Minister Lorcan McCrad, who is a fairly intelligent wizard, but prefers to breathe smoke from the tip of his wand to communicate with people. Of course, I said earlier that we produce eccentric people. In fact, we've also contributed to the wizarding world the jellyfish hat the weirdo Yurick, a classic punchline from many wizard jokes. As for our relationship with the other three houses: you've most likely heard of Slytherin. They aren't all bad guys, but you should be vigilant before getting to know them. Their long-standing house tradition is to win at all costs – so keep an eye out, especially in Quidditch matches and exams. The Gryffindors are not bad. If I have any problem with them, it's that Gryffindor is too fond of showing off. They are also much less tolerant of the aliens than we are, and the truth is that they even joke at some of the Ravenclaws who are interested in the Ascension, or curious about the magical properties of the Mountain Monster Egg or the science of egg divination, which is a method of divination using eggs (as you probably already know). Gryffindor doesn't have our intellectual curiosity, and for us, if you're willing to sit in the corner of the common room all night and knock eggs and record your predictions based on how the yolks landed, that's not a problem at all, and you're likely to find someone willing to help you. As for Hufflepuffs, no one would say they weren't friendly people. They are arguably the friendliest group of people in the school. Let's just say that when it comes to competition in exams, you don't have to worry too much about them.
I guess that's all. Oh yes, the ghost of our house is Ms. Gray. Others thought she never spoke, but she would talk to Ravenclaw. She is the daughter of the Eagle Ancestor, a very beautiful lady, and is said to have something to do with Barrow the Bloody (of course we never ask her) and she is especially useful when you get lost or can't find something.
I'm sure you're going to have a great night. Our dormitory is in the corner tower next to the main tower, and our four-legged beds are covered with sky-blue silk quilts, and the sound of the wind blowing in front of the windows is very pleasant.
I'll say it again: congratulations on being one of the smartest, most agile and funniest Hogwarts houses.
