Chapter 67: Hogwarts Gala (2)
How could there be someone behind me?
was exposed by the person who suddenly appeared behind him, and Rosie was immediately shocked.
Huo Ran turned around and saw a tall and waist-length beautiful ghost floating there quietly.
Lady Gray, the resident ghost of Ravenclaw, whose real name is Helena Ravenclaw.
Rosie, who spent her time at Hogwarts, was no stranger to her.
"No, not a Ravenclaw student?"
A hint of nervousness flashed across the fat lady's face, "Ms. Gray, I'm going to call the professor over?" ”
Yu Guang glanced at the fat lady who was about to leave, and Rosie, who was impassive, greeted Ms. Gray with a light smile before she spoke:
"Long time no see, Helena!"
"Huh? Do you know me? ”
With her nose held high, Ms. Grey looked deeply at Rosie, "Who are you?" ”
Her brain was racing, and she raised her eyebrows:
"Helena, according to Ravenclaw tradition, you have to guess the answer to this puzzle yourself."
Ravenclaw doesn't have that tradition!
Ms. Gray was about to say this, when Rosie added something meaningful:
"If it were Rowena, she wouldn't have asked for answers like you did."
Rowena Ravenclaw.
Founder of Ravenclaw College, mother of Ms. Gray.
During her lifetime, Ms. Gray's greatest desire was to gain greater wisdom and prestige than her mother.
As soon as Rosie's words came out, they immediately hit her soft underbelly, and her delicate face curled with a touch:
"Interesting, let me guess who you are."
Hearing her say this, Rosie immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, it was a delay in the time to be completely exposed.
Ms. Gray turned to the fat lady and said in a light tone, "You are busy with yours, don't worry, I will follow her." ”
"Uh, okay, okay."
In the face of Ms. Gray, the fat lady always seemed a little submissive.
She's going to follow me all the time?
Rossi's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again.
Although she is a ghost, her status in the school is not low, and as long as she uses it properly, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
The point is that she can't deepen her suspicions, and she can't make people who meet her later suspicious.
With thought to herself, Rosie slowed down and walked towards the Ravenclaw common room.
"Why are you slowing down?"
Lady Gray floated around her, "You just walked quickly, now you are not in a hurry?" ”
"It's cowardly to be homesick!"
Rossi casually thought of an explanation, "If it weren't for Dippert's kindness, I probably would never have returned to this place." ”
She was right, and in a sense, she really never lied.
"Hometown timidity...... It's hard to ...... with hospitality."
Ms. Gray repeated the words in a low voice, "Very eloquent words." ”
Forehead......
Wasn't she indoctrinated with knowledge of these idioms?
Rosie thought that she had a reverie about her identity because of these two idioms, but she was savoring the idioms themselves.
Shaking his head strangely, Rosie stubbornly walked up the spiral staircase of the Ravenclaw Tower, moving upwards step by step.
However, until she approached a sleek wooden door with no handles or keyholes, Myrtle did not emerge from the lounge as she had hoped.
Looking at Rosie, who was standing quietly at the door, Ms. Gray floated aside with her hands on her chest:
"Go in, you've all walked here, just knock that knocker, the door will open, have you forgotten?"
When she was talking about the knocker, she was referring to the eagle-shaped bronze knocker on the wooden door.
It's a temptation.
Although Rosie didn't often wander around campus when she was studying in a copy of Azkaban, she did go to important places like the common rooms of the four colleges.
"Knock the knocker?"
Looking at Ms. Gray with a deliberate frown, she asked at the top of her voice, "Who changed the Ravenclaw tradition?" Who does he think we are? Those Hufflepuffs who only know how to eat? A Gryffindor without a strategy? Or is it a Slytherin with an asymmetry of ambition and intelligence? ”
Perhaps she said it too reasonably, and Ms. Gray put down her hands in front of her chest, and secretly looked at Rosie in disbelief:
"I'm just trying you, the tradition here hasn't changed......"
Her tone is no longer as contemptuous as it was at first.
Rosie let out a long "oh" and a smile of incomprehensibility curled up at the corners of her mouth. Then, she stretched out her right hand and tapped lightly on the door.
As there was a knock on the door, the eagle's beak on the door slowly opened, and he asked in a gentle tone:
"If a prisoner were to escape, what should he know first?"
Ms. Gray looked at Rosie and said without blinking:
"It's a philosophical question it often asks, and I don't think you don't know it, do you?"
What are you kidding, when I was in school, it was a liberal arts.
Complaining in his heart, Rosie looked at the hawkbeak seriously:
"The first thing he has to know is that he is in prison and that he is aware of the two concepts of freedom or unfreedom."
"That's right."
A soft, soft voice fell, and the wooden door creaked open.
The common room in Ravenclaw is a large circular room with arched windows that cover the walls and are hung with blue and bronze silks, which look particularly tasteful.
Without paying attention to the dome-like ceiling, Rosie glanced at the braided myrtle, who was sitting on the couch by the wall, and then walked briskly to the alcove across the door.
In the niche stands a white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw.
Pretending to look at the statue with a smile on its face, Rossi silently made a calculation in his heart.
Shall I pretend to be the reincarnation of Royna?
Glancing at Ms. Gray, who was standing beside her with an awkward expression, she shook her head imperceptibly, dispelling the bold idea.
No, this identity is too easy to reveal, and once revealed, I'm afraid I'll be torn apart by an angry Lady Gray.
Also, I don't want to be a mom.
As if sensing something, Lady Gray shuddered suddenly, looked strangely at the statue of her mother, and said impatiently:
"Hey, what's there to see about her, how long are you going to watch here? You're not here just to see her, are you? ”
At this time, Rosie had already made up her mind, and she asked with a smile on her face:
"You know Albus Dumbledore, right?"
"Of course, he's the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts."
"Do you know who his brother is?"
"His brother? A little impressed, but forgot what to call it, what's wrong? ”
"His name is Aberforth Dumbledore."
"Oh, yes, that's the name, but why did you mention him?"
"You see, if there is a particularly famous person in a family, no matter how hard the others try, they will be covered by his name, and the world will always remember the most famous one."
When she said this, Rosie deliberately added a lot of emotion to her tone.
Ms. Gray felt the same way, and if she didn't want to be covered by her mother's name for the rest of her life, she would not have stolen the Ravenclaw crown and would not have died because of it.
"This is the sadness of being born in a celebrity family!"
"My name is Rossi and I don't have a last name at the moment."
While she was looking at the statue in distraction, Rosie said her name, then left Ms. Gray who was lying there thinking about it, and walked quickly towards Myrtle, who was so immersed in her own world that she didn't notice anyone else.
"Hey, little girl, what are you worried about? Tell me about it, maybe we can help you. ”
