"I hope nothing has gone wrong in your plan." Sivan looked at Dumbledore's turquoise blue eyes and said deeply. "If there is the slightest mistake, our situation will take a sharp turn and fall into an irreparable situation."

"I know, so we're going to have to ask another person for advice, and he'll help us fill in the gaps." Dumbledore said.

……

Enamel, 3rd arrondissement of Paris, rue Montmorency.

Inside a safe house in Lemay.

"I can't find Tom Riddle's location." Lemay frowned at the crystal ball placed on the workbench and said suspiciously.

In Lemay's crystal ball, the divination that used to be invincible can now only see a black fog that obscures all vision, and nothing useful can be found in it.

"It may be that the Grim Reaper is also on guard against us, so he used his own power to cover Riddle's tracks." Dumbledore frowned and said with a solemn expression. "Or maybe after a few years of recovery, the power of the Grim Reaper has returned to its peak state, and even a little bit of it can cause a stronger shielding effect than the non-plottable spell and the avoidance spell."

"But if we can't even find out where Riddle is, how is this plan going forward?" Xiwen asked anxiously. "Isn't Grindelwald a picture of the future, will he be able to find Riddle's location?"

"I'm afraid I'll have a hard time finding Tom with his foresight." Dumbledore shook his head slowly and said to Sivan. "Gellert's talent for foreseeing the future, while sometimes magical, is not usually freely controllable."

"Five years ago, I deceived Grindelwald's foreknowledge in a manner similar to the Muggle World Three Carmont game, based on his inability to pinpoint macro predictions down to the smallest detail, and I am afraid that finding Riddle through Gellert will have to be left to chance."

When Sivin heard Dumbledore's explanation, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Naturally, we can't pin our lives and deaths on luck." He shook his head, directly rejecting the option of trying his luck.

"Do you have any other way?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Sivan.

A silver-haired figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and Xiwen was stunned for a moment.

"I seem to know someone who seems to have a stronger prophetic power." He whispered. "I remember she said that her eyes were a pair of heavenly eyes."

……

Beyond the golden circle of light of the Dimensional Gate, Shevin stood on the tower of Ravenclaw.

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

Xiwen walked slowly to the door, looking at the bronze knocker in the shape of a goshawk, and his memory seemed to go back to five years ago-

At that time, he was standing in front of the door of the Ravenclaw common room as he did today, thinking that he could sneak in himself when the other Ravenclaws came out for morning reading, so that he could bypass the password.

But the eagle-shaped knocker suddenly spoke, and asked him in a low, mysterious voice: "What do you get by fusing a woodpecker with a dove that knows the way?" ”

After Sven answers the owl answer, the door to the Ravenclaw common room opens directly to him, making him a Slytherin who has managed to infiltrate the Eagle Yard.

Now that it was only the second time he had come to this place, Xiwen did not feel very strange, nor did he feel as uncomfortable as the first time, and he did not even remove his green collar and tie, and stood generously in front of the Ravenclaw common room.

Unsurprisingly, the eagle-shaped knocker spoke, and asked in a low, mysterious voice, "What is the nature of magic?" ”

Xiwen was stunned for a moment, very surprised that the eagle-shaped knocker asked this question. He had already prepared a brain teaser to answer the question, but he didn't expect it to discuss such a profound magical question.

Coincidentally, he had just discussed this with his Old One teacher some time ago, and had come to a conclusion that was very similar to the method defined in the Muggle world - "The essence of magic is the practice of magic for wizards to explore, adapt, and grow in the unknown." ”

This conclusion was endorsed by the former Supreme Master Gu Yi.

But Xiwen looked at the eagle-shaped knocker in front of him, but suddenly he didn't want to tell him the answer, he just wanted to see what kind of answer was the correct answer.

"The essence of magic is a hymn to love and courage, a dream to protect oneself and others." He said with a smile.

The eagle-shaped knocker said, "Makes sense. ”

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

Looking at the door of the Ravenclaw common room that was gradually opening, a pleasant smile appeared on Shevan's face.

In fact, there is no fixed answer to the nature of magic, or rather, every self-justifying answer is correct and reasonable, and what the eagle knocker wants is just an idea, not a definition of the nature of magic, as Muggles do.

Xiwen walked briskly into the common room of Ravenclaw, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar large round room in front of him, and felt inexplicable.

Five years later, he was back in the lounge. But Miranda, the senior sister I was looking for at that time, has graduated almost three years now.

The walls in front of me were hung with blue and bronze silks, which hung softly by the window. 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 niche facing the door of the lounge stood a lifelike white marble statue, her beautiful, generous and stern countenance similar to that of Helena, who had been gone for many years.

Her other marble statue still sits in the room reserved for Helena in the Room of Requirement, unable to move after losing Lady Ravenclaw's soul. But the stern look in the statue's eyes faded, and all that remained was the deep love for Helena and the kindness of being a mother.

Seeing her statue, Xiwen couldn't help but think that in the past two years, not only has he been busy with the threat of death, but even Helena has participated in the battle after learning a lot of Kama Taj spells, focusing on rescuing the ghosts controlled by death.

Lemay also developed a ghost magic weapon some time ago, allowing Helena to use a magic wand even in the state of a soul body, which greatly enhanced her combat effectiveness!

Looking beyond the Ravenclaw statue, several arched windows stood high on the walls, and the bright morning sunlight poured in from outside, not glaring, but bright enough, in stark contrast to the dimly mysterious scene of the Slytherin lounge.

At this time, Sevin had just returned to Hogwarts from Lemay, not much later than the six-hundred-year-old man's wake-up time, and it seemed to be early, but many Ravenclaw wizards had already gotten up and gone to the common room, most of them holding heavy tome books in their arms, and began their morning reading diligently.
