Chapter 547: Helena and Nick, who almost lost his head

The next day was the weekend, and Raton left Hogwarts early in the morning with a letter.

Anyway, Kyle definitely didn't want to be involved in the Most Charming Smile Award, and he wanted Rita Skeeter to know about it and dismiss it as soon as possible.

After all this is done, Kyle finishes the bread on his plate and prepares to go to the library to borrow two books to pass the time.

But just as he reached the stairs, a ghost appeared in front of him through the wall.

"I've been waiting for you ......"

Helena stared at Kyle, "It's the weekend, maybe you'll be able to make good on your promise." ”

Kyle patted his head, no wonder he had always felt like he had forgotten something, but now he finally remembered.

"I'm sorry, I should have gone to you sooner, Gray...... Well, Ms. Ravenclaw. ”

Kyle said, but he always found the title a bit weird.

Even Helena herself felt a little strange, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Let's call me Helena."

"Come with me, I think we need a quiet place."

Helena walked through the wall again and into an empty classroom next to the stairs.

Kyle followed suit.

"Well, let me think where to start...... he thought for a moment and said, "About fifty years ago, there was a Hogwarts student, Tom Riddle...... He received the Ravenclaw crown that had been missing for centuries. ”

With that, Kyle quietly looked at Helena, waiting for her reaction.

"Tom Riddle ......"

Helena whispered, "I know...... It was also I who told him the location of the crown...... And the crown is not missing, it was stolen by me, after which I hid it in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest. ”

She closed her eyes and continued, "I don't know why I told him...... The student named Riddle, he ...... Very likable...... He seems to be empathetic...... Be compassionate...... Just like you. ”

The corners of Kyle's mouth twitched, he thought Helena only said the first part, and the last sentence was not necessary.

Unfortunately, Helena didn't know what Kyle was thinking.

"I've observed that you're just as popular in the castle, and every ghost has a crush on you, including the most mischievous Peeves."

"Uh...... We're all friends, and I've had a good chat with them. Kyle said, then stiffly changing the subject, "Where did I just go...... Oh yes.

"When Tom Riddle got the crown, he made it into a Horcrux......"

Hearing this, Helena jerked her head up.

"Horcrux...... The most evil form of black magic...... How dare he tarnish the crown of Ravenclaw like this......"

This was the first time Kyle had seen the ghost appear so angry, and his body floating in the air was shaking......

"Don't get excited, Lady Helena, it's settled."

Kyle hurriedly said, "Remember the person who spoke to me that day?" He was Nicolame, the most powerful alchemist in the wizarding world, and the problem of Horcruxes was not a problem for him. ”

Hearing this, Helena calmed down a lot.

Kyle then goes on to briefly recount the Horcrux crown he found in the Room of Requirement and send it to Nicolame.

Helena listened quietly all this time, saying nothing or asking anything.

It wasn't until Kyle finished speaking, and waited for a while, that she asked again as if she had just come to her senses:

"I heard Sir Nicholas of Mimsey...... You've seen my mother. Her voice was small and trilling, "When was that and how was she......"

"I can only say that it was my third grade, but I don't know the time on the other side, only that the Big Four were all there at that time."

Kyle thought about it for a moment and said, "As for Lady Ravenclaw, she looks pretty good, but she doesn't like to talk much. ”

"My mother always did." Helena looked Kyle in the eye, "What if...... Can you see her again, can you bring me a word? ”

"While I'd love to ......," Kyle said, "but Ms. Helena, it's almost impossible. ”

The last time he was able to meet the Big Four, it was also because of Salazar Slytherin's relationship.

Even though Nicola had repaired the time turner, it wasn't the same anymore.

A hundred years back may be fine, but a thousand years ...... Estimates are unlikely.

And even if it was possible, Kyle wouldn't do it, the risk was too great, he didn't want to die for the time being,

"Maybe so." Helena didn't know what she was thinking, and said in a trance, "Thank you for making up for my mistakes...... Thank you ......."

With that, she walked through the wall again and left the classroom.

Kyle was about to go to the library, but as soon as he turned around, he saw half a head "growing" on the wall behind him.

"Sir Nicholas? What are you doing here. ”

Nick, who was almost headless, was startled and retracted his head in a bit of a panic, but the next second he floated in again.

"I just happened to hear ......"

It can be seen that Nick, who is almost headless, seems to want to explain, but quickly gives up.

"Oh...... Young Kyle ......," he said, "I know, Lady Gray is charming, but she's not for you, and there are more young girls like you in the castle...... I mean, you should see them more. ”

"I think you're mistaken." Kyle understood what he meant, and was somewhat speechless.

Good guy, Nick, who almost lost his head, doesn't think he's dating Helena...... Not to mention that Helena is more than a thousand years old, but the other party is a ghost.

How did Nick, who was dating a ghost and almost headless, come to this conclusion, shouldn't he have thrown his brain out by the way when he shook his head?

"We're just getting down to business, about Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw." Kyle said, "And that's what you told her, I met the Big Four in third grade. ”

"Oh...... That's right...... I said I slipped my mouth that day. Nick, who was almost headless, stammered, "But you can understand that, for us ghosts, that's usually all there is to have fun." ”

Kyle shrugged, noncommittal.

Nick, who was almost headless, continued, "And I mainly want to remind you that Barrow the Bloody Man is a crazy suitor for Lady Gray, and he was just outside, with me.

"But now it doesn't seem to be needed."

Then he poked his head out of the wall, "Hey, Barrow, do you hear me, they're ...... Strange, what about Barrow? ”

Kyle wasn't ready to say anything more to the unobtrusive ghost at this point, and opened the door and walked out of the classroom.

"Oh, wait, I still have something to say."

Nick, who was almost headless, caught up from behind, "Well, in fact I lied just now, I didn't pass by, but came to you on purpose." ”

"You're looking for me?" Kyle asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's the headmaster looking for you."

Nick, who was almost headless, said, "I just met Albus when I was practicing shaking my head on the eighth floor, and he asked me to tell you, if you have time, please go to the principal's office to find him as soon as possible, by the way, today's password is Maomaoya mints." ”

"Oh, okay." Kyle nodded, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, I'll be happy to oblige."
