126. Conversation with Ravenclaw
"Fourth grade?"
Ravenclaw looked at Scott and commented, "You're a good kid for your age." β
"Thank you for the compliment."
Even Scott couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart at the moment.
This is a compliment from the founder of the academy.
And judging from the admissions conditions of Ravenclaw School, this founder lady is undoubtedly a figure with an eye above the top.
"I should have said sorry to you." Ravenclaw said, "The matter of Medea...... It's a legacy of our time, but it's the end of it that affects you children. β
Scott didn't say anything.
He doesn't have much to say about this.
Ravenclaw didn't need his comment either, and she continued: "But I'm glad that there is still this incident, because this outbreak has forced my daughter Helena to summon up the courage to see me. β
"Mother's ......"
Miss Gray bowed her head in guilt.
"Don't be upset about that, Helena."
Ravenclaw looked at her lovingly.
"My beloved daughter, I have been waiting here for a thousand years to tell you that you can forgive yourself for the mistakes you made when you were young."
"Mother's ......"
Ms. Gray looked up, her eyes seemingly recovering to the agility of her girlhood in the portrait.
"How fortunate I am to ......"
She choked up.
Ravenclaw smiled softly, "Let's talk about Medea first." β
When she turned her head to look at Scott, the expression on her face changed subtly.
The kindness and tenderness on her face turned into kindness and gentleness.
But Scott can't ignore her eyes, the softness in her eyes is only a faΓ§ade, and beneath this surface lies a bottomless wisdom and keen insight.
Scott knew something was wrong the moment he met her.
He didn't even have time to build up his defenses with Occlumency, and in an instant he felt as if he had been seen through by the founder's lady.
"Don't be nervous, kid, I can't check your memory."
Ravenclaw said to the horrified Scott.
"It's useless for you to use Occlumency."
"The portrait you left behind is really not a simple portrait." Scott sighed helplessly.
He took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart.
This time, it's really too exciting.
"It's just magic to see the nature of your character, and it's about the same as the Sorting Hat."
Ravenclaw smiled reservedly.
"I'm sorry, as a professor, I need to confirm your character."
You really deserve to be our Eagle Ancestor.
Scott thought.
This kind of self-guided style is really enough.
"I have to say, I appreciate a kid like you." Ravenclaw added, "I hope you will continue to walk firmly on your own path." β
"Yes......"
Scott was a little afraid to look up.
At this moment, Ms. Gray, who was on the side, suddenly let out a crisp laugh.
Scott turned to look at her in surprise.
ββ¦β¦ You've been lied to, Scott. β
Ms. Gray said with a smile over her mouth.
"Mother can't use any magic right now, it's just the deterrent effect of the magic circuit engraved on the portrait!"
"Of course, Helena told me about you." Ravenclaw said with a smile as well.
She shook her head, "Don't you understand, the traces of your use of Occlumency are too obvious, you can see it in your eyes." β
ββ¦β¦β
Scott was a little speechless.
Why are you two thousand-year-old mothers and daughters bullying me, a 14-year-old naΓ―ve teenager?
"Let's talk about Medea."
Ravenclaw changed the subject.
"Although Salazar didn't ask us when he left, we all tacitly took care of Medea in his place."
Scott couldn't help but ask, "So, did Slytherin really leave Hogwarts to protect the school?" β
Ravenclaw nodded, "Of course, this is only one aspect, and the other ......"
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "His magical research can't go on at Hogwarts, it's always been a school. β
"I see." Lady Gray said with some displeasure, "At that time, Medea made all kinds of demands to me because of this! β
"That kid ......," Ravenclaw shook his head.
"I'll tell you!"
Ms. Gray had a wayward expression.
"I didn't want to talk about it."
Ravenclaw nodded.
"Speaking of which, Medea is just like me."
Ms. Gray said to Scott.
"We all have an overly dazzling parent, and although our own talents are not bad, it is impossible to reach the height of our parents."
The Ravenclaw expression in the portrait was a little helpless, "I never stipulated that you must be a powerful wizard, Helena. β
"I know, Mother." Miss Gray turned her head to look at the portrait, "But I didn't understand that at the time. β
She said to Scott, "Let me be the first of all, for at that time I was jealous of my mother's wisdom and longed for her wisdom and fame. β
She began to reveal her scars, "At that time, I foolishly thought that my mother's wisdom only came from her crown, so I chose to steal the crown and escape from Hogwarts. β
At this point, Scott didn't know what to put on a good face.
He didn't have the confidence to act in front of Ravenclaw.
Even if it's just a portrait.
So he could only bow his head slightly to listen.
Fortunately, no one seemed to care about his expression.
Ms. Gray continued, "I was punished for my mother's death, and I didn't regret it until I died...... This made me a ghost after I died. β
"You shouldn't have carried my death on yourself, Helena." Ravenclaw said.
Miss Gray shook her head.
"Medea is different from me in that she craves her father's approval."
She talks to Scott about Medea.
"She felt that Slytherin named her Medea in the hope that she would become a powerful witch, like the princess of Colchith."
Slatterin was a maverick as well, Scott thought.
Judging from the experience of the original owner of this name, the meaning of this name is not good.
"She misunderstood."
At this point, Ravenclaw explained.
"Salazar named her Medea, not because he wanted her to be a powerful witch like Medea......"
Her expression was a little indescribable.
"This is Salazar's eccentric taste, and he wants his daughter to be as strong as Medea, and even if she suffers harm in the future, she will be as strong and resolute as Medea for revenge."
ββ¦β¦β
Scott agrees with her assessment of Slytherin taste.
Medea's revenge was the killing of her own children.
Ms. Gray's expression was also a little complicated.
But she continued: "In short, Medea herself thinks so. She's as talented as I am, and she's never gotten any compliments from Slytherin, and she's obsessed with it. β
