Chapter 31: The Ravenclaw Common Room

The next day, Shewin woke up early.

It's Saturday, and it's the first weekend since Shivin arrived at Hogwarts. The days of no classes all day made Xiwen feel a little confused.

'Forget it, let's try our luck on the lawn in the teaching area, maybe Miranda will get up early and practice spells?' With that in mind, he quickly changed his clothes under the glow of the wand illumination spell and walked out of the dormitory.

Unfortunately, his luck was not good, and I don't know if it was because he got up too early or if Miranda wanted to sleep in on the weekend, and the lawn was empty now.

So Xiwen decided to do a morning exercise and come back to check it out.

The open meadow to the northwest of the castle has now become a regular place for Xiwen's morning exercises, and no one will bother him in the morning.

But this morning, during his morning exercise, he was rarely interrupted by a passerby.

A strange man with a scruffy beard passed by on crutches.

"Yo, you're in good spirits!" Professor Kettleburn said with a smile.

"Good morning, Professor!" Shivin retracted his right leg in front of him and waved at Professor Kettleburn.

"How's it going, has the cat been recovered?" Professor Kettleburn asked kindly.

"Thanks to you, the kitten came back on its own the next day." Xiwen laughed. "And her eyes are open, and she's in good spirits now!"

Professor Kettleburn laughed happily in his trademark loud voice, and then said, "Haha, that's amazing, your cat must have inherited some special abilities after opening its eyes, and then ran out of the cat cage on its own." ”

"It's thanks to you that you've been so nice to her. Yes, yes, you lad has a good heart! The professor gave a thumbs up to Xiwen.

Xiwen smiled and scratched his head.

Professor Kettleburn suddenly added, "Bring your cat over to me tonight when I am locked up and let me see it, just as I want to know what breed she is." ”

Hearing the professor's words, Xiwen was stunned for a moment. There's been a lot of trivial things lately, and if he hadn't met the professor this morning, he would have completely forgotten about the confinement......

"You can't have forgotten about confinement, have you?" Professor Kettleburn asked suspiciously, seeing Shevan's expression.

"Nope! Absolutely nothing! Xiwen decisively denied it.

The professor didn't pay much attention to it, waved his hand and said, "Seven o'clock in the evening, don't forget." ”

Then he limped to the hut where he lived.

The corners of Xiwen's mouth twitched, feeling that even if it was the weekend, it would still be a fulfilling day.

……

However, the most important thing now is to find Miranda and get her notes.

So Shewin went back to the lawn of the teaching area.

There were already a few studious Ravenclaw students on the lawn, but Shevin didn't see Miranda in it.

Considering that today's arrangements were a bit tight, Sivin felt that he could not wait any longer, so he resolutely walked up to the Ravenclaw Tower on the west side of the castle.

In fact, he wouldn't admit that he was just a little curious about what the common room of the house he had almost been assigned to by the Sorting Hat was like......

Walking down the spiral staircase, which was surrounded by blue hues, Xiwen looked at his green collar and felt a little out of place. He silently stopped, took off his school robe, and put it in the pocket watch space.

Then he noticed the green striped tie around his neck that he had just taken off during his morning workout, and had not yet had time to tie it. Xiwen took it off as well, and now only a white shirt was left on his upper body.

After taking a closer look at what didn't reveal his identity, he stepped to the top of the tower contentedly.

"I have to say that this place is really high, and the Astronomy Tower is not much higher than here...... ' Xiwen, who had just finished a full set of morning exercises, felt a little tired. After a little comparison, he noticed that the Ravenclaw and Slytherin common rooms were actually about the same distance from the ground, so he finally balanced himself a little.

On the top floor of the Ravenclaw Tower there is a heavy wooden door with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker hanging from the door.

Shevin stood in front of the door, thinking that he would sneak in when the other Ravenclaws came out for morning reading, so that he could bypass the password.

At this moment, the eagle-shaped knocker suddenly spoke, and said in a deep and mysterious voice:

"What do you get when you fuse a woodpecker with a way-finding pigeon?"

Xiwen was taken aback by the voice, he looked at the knocker in surprise, wondering what kind of operation this was, guessing the brain teaser?

He thought, his brain was spinning, what was the use of a messenger pigeon pecking wood? Peck open the door and throw the letter in when delivering it? Inexplicably, it's a bit of a funny picture......

'Hey, wait, there's a bird that can deliver letters and peck at people.' Xiwen suddenly remembered the owl Jabi who had pecked him a few days ago.

"Owls?" Shevin said in an uncertain tone to the eagle-shaped knocker.

The eagle-shaped bronze knocker said: "Makes sense. ”

Then, it lifted its ring, and the wooden door opened.

"There is still such an operation...... "Xiwen exclaimed.

Answer the questions to get in, it's very Ravenclaw!

The common room in Ravenclaw is a large room with a circular shape. Several arched windows stood high on the walls, and the bright morning sunlight poured in outside, not glaring, but bright enough. This is in stark contrast to the dimly lit and mysterious scene of the Slytherin Lounge.

It's no wonder that Ravenclaw students are better at waking up early, and this environment is different. Xiwen thought silently.

Blue and bronze silk hangs softly from the window on the walls of the lounge. The ceiling of the dome is painted with vivid stars that seem to blink their eyes. The dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars larger than the ceiling. The floor is lined with delicate tables, chairs, and bookshelves.

In the alcove opposite Xiwen stood a lifelike white marble statue, her beautiful, generous, and stern countenance that resembled Helena.

'Rowena Ravenclaw. Xiwen tilted his head and stared at the beautiful statue with an inexplicable expression.

Helena's mother put so much pressure on Helena that she retained her thirst for knowledge even as a soul. Shivin muttered.

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a magnetic female voice interrupted Xiwen's musings.

Shivin turned his head and saw a witch with gray hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a thick book. He suddenly realized that he was in the common room of another college.

"Good morning, Miranda......" Xiwen said in awkward hello.

"Explain, how did you end up here!"

Miranda put the book on the table next to her, clasped her hands on her chest, looked at Xiwen with a stiff expression, and said.
