After lunch, Scott and the others meet Dylan and Kayla in the hallway, who are glued together and whispering.

Dylan saw Scott and asked him, "Scott, you were looking for Ms. Gray last night, weren't you?" ”

"That's right." Scott stopped, "Did you see her?" ”

"She's in the garden of the atrium now!" Kayla was a little embarrassed and said, "We were dating there just now. ”

Eddie quipped, "You two stick together every day, and you still need a date?" ”

"It's none of your business, Eddie!"

Kayla glared at him, and asked Scott curiously, "Do you have anything to do with Ms. Gray, I don't think it's a good time to talk to her, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood." ”

"Just a few questions I'd like to ask her, thank you for telling me." Scott said.

He handed the book to Eddie and asked him to take it back to his bedroom, and walked alone to the atrium garden.

When he entered the garden, he saw the tall lady Gray standing quietly on the edge of the flower bed, looking blankly at the sprouts of a bush.

As Kayla said, she did not seem to be in a good mood, exuding an air of indifference that was repulsive to others.

But Scott walked over slowly.

Ms. Gray, who heard the footsteps, turned her head slowly.

"You're here for me?" Her tone was cold, mixed with some impatience.

"Yes, Ms. Gray." Scott whispered, "Sorry to bother you, but ......"

He took another step closer.

"I want to tell you that I heard Medea's music during my Potions class, and I was the only one who heard it."

"Medea again."

Miss Gray's frozen eyes softened a little.

She said in a commanding tone, "I warned Graves not to make any more deals with her, and so do you." ”

"I'm sorry." Scott looked uneasy, "I've been seduced by music, which can increase my magical activity and perception. ”

Miss Gray frowned and exclaimed, "I warned you!" ”

"No, I didn't make a deal with her." Scott hastened to explain, "But I spoke to her. ”

Ms. Gray's expression softened a little, "What did she say to you?" ”

Scott whispered a rough overview of his conversation with Medea.

“…… I didn't expect you to be the daughter of Ravenclaw! ”

Finally, he looked at Ms. Gray with excited eyes.

"No ......"

Ms. Gray's expression became very complicated.

"I ......"

She paused and said angrily, "What are you excited about?" I'm just a Ravenclaw daughter! And the great Ravenclaw himself is not in any way comparable! ”

Scott looked at her a little embarrassed and a little bewildered.

He apologized incoherently, "I'm sorry...... I was just...... Just a little excited...... After all......"

He felt that he had used all his acting skills at this moment.

It's the pinnacle of acting.

"It seems that Medea will not give up, she is seducing you in a targeted manner."

Ms. Gray calmed down.

"If it doesn't work out, her goals will turn to someone else!"

She floated, looking at Scott condescendingly.

"I've been investigating that oath Medea made with my mother for the past few days." She said.

Is the truth coming? Scott thought.

"Perhaps......" she said hesitantly, "would you be willing to help take that vow?" ”

What?

Scott was dumbfounded.

But he held on.

"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"The oath is accessible, but it's only for Hogwarts students, not for ghosts, not for professors, only for students," said Ms. Gray. ”

Can it be lifted?

Scott's mind raced, and he asked her, "What do you do if you want to get rid of it?" ”

"So, you're willing to help?" Ms. Gray asked.

"......No," Scott said, "I want to know what to do before I decide." ”

Instead of being angry, Ms. Gray nodded in agreement.

"Also, rushing forward without knowing the situation is what the Gryffindors do." She softened her tone and said, "Of course you should think it through. ”

She turned and drifted towards the castle.

"Come with me."

Scott stepped after her.

They climbed all the way up the stairs to the eighth floor and stood in a hallway.

On one side of the hallway is a blank wall, and on the other side hangs a tapestry of a troll battering a stupid Barnabas.

This is......

Got a Room of Responsiveness?

Scott knew it was the entrance to the Room of Requirement, but he never came.

He hadn't needed to use this place before, so he didn't have to risk entering.

This wasn't a hidden space that a Muggle-born wizard should know, and he wouldn't be able to explain it if it was discovered.

After all, the principal's office is also on the eighth floor.

At this time, Lady Gray instructed him, "Go back and forth three times, and concentrate in your mind the silent recitation of 'Helena's study.'" ”

Scott looked at her suspiciously, nodded again, and began to do so.

As he muttered "Helena's study" and walked back and forth down the hallway three times, a brown door appeared on the blank wall.

At a glance, Scott saw the eagle-shaped bronze knocker on the door, which was almost identical to the one on the Ravenclaw common room door.

"How many years......"

The eagle's head on the knocker moved, and he opened his mouth to speak.

“…… Welcome back, Helena. ”

Scott looked back, and Ms. Gray was pursed her lips and silent.

"Come in, Helena, it's been too long for you to open this door."

The eagle's head on the knocker said one more word, and then stopped moving.

With a "click", the door opened automatically.

Scott still looked at Ms. Gray.

After a few more moments, Ms. Gray seemed to come to her senses, and floated through the door without saying a word.

Scott waited a little more before hearing her say inside, "Come in." ”

Curious, Scott walked through the door.

After closing the door with his hand, he first looked around and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

This is an extremely delicate and beautiful study.

With neat rows of bookshelves, comfort and chairs, colorful paintings on the walls, lace-trimmed curtains, everything in the room is full of girlish vibes.

Ms. Gray was floating at her desk, looking up at the only portrait on the wall.

The beautiful girl in the painting is also looking down at her.

"You're finally here, Helena." The girl in the painting blinked, she looked a little angry, "It's been too long!" ”

Ms. Gray was silent.

The girl in the painting suddenly laughed smugly again, "It's been too long! It's been too long! You've become a ghost! The ghost is not Helena! Maybe I'm the real Helena now! ”

"Shut up, Helena!"

Ms. Gray said indifferently to herself in the painting.

"You're just a portrait."

"What are you talking about?" The girl in the painting glared at her angrily, "Ever since you left, Mom has been talking to me!" Compared to you, I am my mother's good daughter! ”

"Shut up!"

Ms. Gray scolded again.

"I'm not here to talk to you about this, Helena!"
