Chapter 190: Cassandra's Prophecy
Helena wandered lonely in the hallways.
She has suddenly appeared at Hogwarts since she was killed by Barrow, but the entire castle has no students, no professors, nothing but her...... It's like a dead city.
Helena had heard her mother say that when a wizard dies, he will appear in a mystical illusion.
It is a place between life and death, it is both real and illusory, and what it appears depends on the person who enters it.
Helena was sure that she was wandering in a blurred illusion, and she could move forward and embrace death; It can also go backwards and live in the world, but from then on, it can only be a ghost.
Helena hesitated, she didn't want to become a ghost, but she was unwilling to die, so she had to stay here forever.
Helena lingered for an unknown amount of time, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ears, and she turned her head suddenly, and saw a witch in white, with fluttering sleeves, walking slowly.
Helena was stunned, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and her voice was crying: "Mother! ”
Ravenclaw walked over to Helena and reached out to caress her daughter's cheek.
Helena suddenly felt a little aggrieved, she lowered her head, called out softly to her mother, and then said sadly: "I was killed by Barrow......"
"I know." Ravenclaw said calmly, "Go back, kid." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Go back where you came from."
"The wizarding world?" Helena hummed vigorously and said, "I'll go back with you!" ”
"No, you can go yourself." Ravenclaw stared at Helena, shook his head, and said, "I didn't come to you specifically, but I died like you, entering this mystical illusion. ”
Helena's face was sluggish, shocked, and frightened, and she covered her heart, not knowing if it was because the wound hurt, or because she was shocked by the sudden news, her mind went blank.
"How could you possibly die?!" Helena suddenly remembered something and stammered, "Is it true that Barrow said you were seriously ill?" ”
At this moment, the entire castle suddenly emitted a dull vibration, and some windows and floors directly cracked and shattered.
Ravenclaw looked at the sky, she raised her arm, and the vibration slowly dissipated, and her voice was urgent:
"Helena, I still have something to do, don't tell anyone that you've seen me in the Blur Realm, remember?"
Helena nodded hesitantly.
Ravenclaw's body gradually blurred and slowly dissipated into a streamer, and Helena burst into tears, reaching out to grab her.
Ravenclaw stretched out a glowing hand, patted Helena on the head, and said, "Go back." ”
The white mist cleared, and Helena's vision began to blur, and by the time she could see her surroundings again, she had turned into a pearly white, translucent ghost.
Helena's heart was in turmoil for a moment, she wandered aimlessly forward, and suddenly saw a person sitting not far away.
When Helena saw the figure clearly, she thought that she should have left the Blur Illusion, so she said, "Cassandra, why are you here?" ”
Cassandra sat on the steps, her hands on her cheeks and stared into the distance, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Helena, and said softly:
"I've just said goodbye to a very good friend, and I'm probably never going to see each other again in my life, and it's sad to sit here.
Beauty...... You're back? ”
Helena didn't care about the nickname anymore, just frowned and said:
"Isn't it strange that you see me?"
"I know you were killed by Barrow, so it's not surprising." Cassandra sighed slightly:
"You're back late, Professor Ravenclaw's funeral is over."
Helena lowered her head, she was not dead yet, but when she heard Cassandra's words, her heart was completely dead, and she slowly floated forward.
She had only floated out four or five paces when an ethereal voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"The woman who stole the crown will return again...... A man tainted with the scent of Rowena Ravenclaw...... will resurrect her ......"
Helena turned around and looked at Cassandra Trelawney, who had fallen into an ethereal realm that she had never seen before, and muttered:
"The man who smells of my mother...... Will it resurrect me? ”

With the arrival of June, the semester is coming to an end, and final exams are about to be held at Hogwarts.
But there were few reviewers, and students were enthusiastically discussing the latest issue of the Daily Prophet.
The headline of this issue was a report written by Rita Skeeter of the Journal, and the headline was:
[Missing for two months?! Death of the hero Rove Scamander! 】
The article recounts in the first person how Rove was caught by Peter's accomplices during the Easter holidays, first by shredding the corpse, then steaming it, and finally making adult barbecued pork buns......
The vivid images described in the article are as if you have seen it with your own eyes, and even tried the barbecued pork bun yourself.
At the end of the article, Rita Skeeter also accused the Ministry of Magic of concealing the truth and deliberately covering up Scamander's death, and must apologize to the whole country......
As soon as the report came out, the entire wizarding world was in an uproar.
Who is Rolf Scamander?!
He is a famous genius boy who captures Peter, who has been absconding for twelve years, and is a hero who helps Blake clear his name.
He's dead, what's the joke?
Many adult wizards wrote letters to their families at Hogwarts, and it was soon confirmed that Scamander had indeed disappeared since Easter.
It took two months of disappearance before it was reported, which further confirmed the authenticity of Rita's article.
For a time, public opinion was turbulent.
After all, after a year of reporting, Rove's popularity has now reached a very terrifying level, and he still has a large number of fans.
Even, there are many female witches who call him a little husband, and his husband was killed, of course, he wants the Ministry of Magic to give an explanation!
Fudge was also so big that he even came to Hogwarts to look for Dumbledore and ask what was going on.
The Quidditch World Cup is about to begin, and at this sensitive time, if something happens to Scamander, who would dare to come to England to watch the game?
This summer, Rove will be awarded the Order of Merlin, and if he really dies, Fudge will not have to do it.
But Dumbledore didn't tell Fugirov where he went, and only gave him a sentence "He's going to deal with Peter" and sent him away.
This morning, when the students were in class, they suddenly heard a deafening sound from the sky.
Everyone looked out the window and saw a spherical flying machine, falling from the sky, making a creaking sound and carrying a brilliant flame.
It smashed straight through the castle walls, all the way down into the depths of the castle.
Professor McGonagall's mouth was wide open, her face stunned, the first time she had seen such a scene in her decades at Hogwarts.
Could it be that Muggles invaded Hogwarts?!
Shirley, who was originally taking notes, suddenly changed her expression, she stood up, and ran out in a hurry, not caring that she was still in class.
As she reached the door, she jerked to a halt and stared at Professor McGonagall.
"He's back?" Professor McGonagall frowned, quickly furrowed, and couldn't help but smile:
"Then what are you waiting for, you go quickly!"
The ponytailed girl smiled at Professor McGonagall and trotted out of the classroom, then ran faster and faster.
