"What? You said you were going to take a leave of absence? ”

In her office, Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle, and for a moment thought she had misheard.

"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "About a month or two, during which time I hope to be able to manage my time on my own." ”

"This ......" Professor McGonagall frowned, and instead of answering immediately, she asked, "Do you know about the leave you want to take a leave of absence?" ”

"Yes." Kyle said, "The first thing I went to was Professor Sprout, and she agreed, but she could only agree that I wouldn't go to the herb class.

"And she told me that if you want to take a long time off, you have to get the principal's signature."

"That's true." Professor McGonagall said.

"But Professor Dumbledore hasn't been at the school lately." Kyle shrugged, "That's why I'm here to go." ”

Because Dumbledore was too busy, Professor McGonagall, who was the vice-principal, was responsible for most of the things in the school.

"I can grant your request." Professor McGonagall looked at the application form that Kyle handed over, hesitated for a moment, and then signed her name on it, saying:

"But I have to warn you that you can't leave the school even if you don't go to class, and you need to have a parent's application to leave the school, and the students themselves can't make the decisions. It's not negotiable, no matter how good your grades are. ”

"Of course, I understand." Kyle said, "I'm in the castle, not going anywhere." ”

Seeing that Kyle agreed, Professor McGonagall returned the application to Kyle and asked casually.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Ah, I may have to attend an important make-up class during this time, and the time is a little tight, so I have to give up the main class."

"What did you say?" Professor McGonagall jerked her head up.

She had thought that Kyle wanted to stay in the library until he graduated, which was not uncommon at Hogwarts.

Many students with excellent grades do not care if they attend class or not after the second half of the seventh grade, and it is also a good choice to go to the library to review by themselves.

"Who's going to make up for you?" Professor McGonagall subconsciously asked, "Professor Dumbledore?" ”

In her opinion, only the headmaster has the ability to make up for Kyle's lessons.

"No, it's Rowena Ravenclaw."

Kyle uttered something in a calm tone that almost made Professor McGonagall jump.

Because of the excitement, she even pinched off the quill in her hand.

"You say...... Who? ”

"Rowena Ravenclaw." Kyle said again, "Professor Dumbledore must have mentioned that Ravenclaw's crown is in the castle, and it carries some of her memories. ”

Professor McGonagall nodded stiffly.

Dumbledore did say that the professors had almost turned the castle over in order to find the crown, but they had never found it.

Because of this, several professors also had disagreements, some believed Dumbledore's words, and others thought he was old and confused.

Professor McGonagall, though she didn't say it explicitly, was more inclined to the latter...... At least until the crown is seen.

"I met her yesterday." Kyle continued, "I did a little thing for Ms. Ravenclaw, and she arranged for this make-up class to thank me. ”

Professor McGonagall took a few deep breaths.

At one point, she thought Kyle had fallen under an advanced confusion spell.

A person from a thousand years ago not only came back to life, but also had to make up for it...... Presumably, it is impossible for any normal person to say such a ridiculous thing.

But the person in front of her was Kyle, and she was a little shaken again.

Because in the story told by Dumbledore, it was Kyle who brought the Ravenclaw crown back to Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course." Kyle said.

Kyle wasn't prepared to hide from anyone else, especially the Hogwarts professors, about Ravenclaw's "cram school" in the Room of Requirement.

Everyone had the same goal, and even Ravenclaw himself didn't mind, why should he hide it, it wasn't necessary.

Of course, it is limited to professors, and students forget it.

The main reason is that there are too many people, and the content of the make-up class is still based on magic scripts, and the entire school is combined, and I am afraid that there are not even fifty people who have taken ancient runi classes.

And almost all of these fifty people can barely translate into Rune, and even if they go, it's useless, at most it's just a visit to Hogwarts a thousand years ago.

And Ravenclaw also said that the "cram school" lasted for a limited time, and Kyle didn't want to waste his time on getting people to visit.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall was still a little skeptical, Kyle said bluntly, "If you don't believe me, I can take you to the place where you make up the lesson." ”

"That's good."

Professor McGonagall immediately stood up, but before she could go outside, she heard Kyle continue:

"But not now......"

"Why?"

"Because the key is not with me, I can't get in now." Kyle spread his hands, "If the professor doesn't mind, what about after dinner." ”

Professor McGonagall agreed.

After Kyle left the office, Professor McGonagall couldn't concentrate on the assignments in front of her, and finally pushed them aside and stood up and walked towards the Headmaster's office.

Knowing that Dumbledore was unlikely to return, Professor McGonagall wanted to try her luck.

The main thing is so unbelievable that it is difficult for her to accept it in a short period of time.

A thousand years ago, Rowena Ravenclaw returned to Hogwarts through her crown and offered to help a student with a catch-up lesson.

Every revelation Kyle reveals is challenging her cognition for more than 60 years, and it is a great test of her sanity.

Professor McGonagall was eager to hear what the other had to say, and Dumbledore was the best choice...... Maybe he knew something.

Unfortunately, the Headmaster's room was empty, and Dumbledore was still outside battling Voldemort.

Professor McGonagall subconsciously wanted to write him a letter, but hesitated for a moment before putting away the parchment that had already been unfolded.

Professor McGonagall knew how dangerous dealing with Voldemort was, and she didn't want to bother Dumbledore over something that wasn't confirmed.

Isn't it just dinner? She can wait.

Professor McGonagall did not return to her office after leaving the principal's office, and she must not be in the mood to correct her homework now, so she had to change places to kill time.

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and walked straight to the greenhouse outside the field.

……

And just like that, the time quickly came to the afternoon.

At about three o'clock, a door suddenly appeared in a corridor on the eighth floor of the castle.

This strange situation startled a certain third-year Gryffindor who was passing by, and subconsciously ran away.

But when he returned with his classmates ten minutes later to take a look, the door magically disappeared.

"I knew you were lying, Dennis." One of them said loudly, "I've passed this corridor countless times, is there a hidden door I don't know?" ”

"No, I didn't." Dennis Creevey held out his hand anxiously and gestured against the wall.

"It's right here, I saw it with my own eyes, and there's a handle on the door."

"Come on." Another said, "That's how you want to get Harry Potter's attention......

"But you succeeded, Potter is coming."

As his words fell, Harry came running out of breath from not far away.

But to no avail, he still couldn't open the door of the Room of Need.

……

Meanwhile, on the grounds by the Black Lake, Connor returns the Raven Knocker to Kyle.

"Why did you come out so quickly?" Kyle asked.

"I don't understand." Connor sighed and said truthfully, "It feels like listening to a more complex ancient runi lesson, where the professors can understand every word they say, but not together."

"By the way, Qiu didn't understand, she said that her head was a little up, and she had already gone back to the common room first."

"Okay." Kyle said, taking the raven knocker in his hand.

That's why he said he didn't have the key.

Before going to Professor McGonagall to ask for leave, Kyle gave Connor the key and let her go to the Room of Requirement.

Later, Connor proposed to call Cho.

Kyle didn't go with him because he was going to take a leave of absence, but he repeated Ravenclaw's previous words to Connor, telling her not to listen hard so as not to conflict with what he had learned.

And then this happened in front of me.

Connor hadn't studied the scriptures in depth, and though she could barely understand them, she struggled to understand them.

Not to mention autumn...... Kyle remembers the last time her head swelled was the first time she took an ancient rune class.

But this also shows from the side that those courses are indeed not for everyone, after all, Autumn's grades are considered to be outstanding even in the whole Ravenclaw.

"What about you?" Connor asked, "Did Professor McGonagall allow you to take a leave of absence?" ”

"Of course." Kyle pulled out the application signed by Professor McGonagall, "Starting next week, I can skip classes until the end of the school year." ”

Just as the two were chatting, they happened to see Professor McGonagall coming out of the greenhouse, and Professor Sprout beside her.

They hurried back to the castle, as if in a hurry.

Also, since Dumbledore left it alone, Professor McGonagall is now in charge of everything in the school, and she will naturally be very busy.

This also made Kyle, who was about to stop them, put his hand down.

He had thought that since Connor had already come out of the Room of Requirement, he could take Professor McGonagall to the visit, but since she had something to do, he would have to wait until the evening.

Kyle sat back down next to Connor, enjoying the cool breeze from the Black Lake as she listened to her experience at the Room of Requirement.

"I saw Helga Hufflepuff, she really looked exactly like she was in the portrait."

"Also, there were really few people at that time, and they couldn't even compare to the number of people in a grade now."

……

For some reason, today's dinner was about half an hour earlier than usual, and by the time Kyle got the news and hurried over from the venue, dinner was almost halfway through.

He and Connor hurried back to the academy table and ate a few bites.

The professors left the auditorium after eating.

When Kyle went out, he saw a row of professors standing in the doorway.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, except for Snape, who has not known where he has been since yesterday, the remaining three directors have arrived.

In addition, there is also Bathsida and Barburing from the ancient runi class.

When Kyle came out, they immediately looked at it neatly.

Kyle smacked his lips and asked, "Professor McGonagall, ...... you guys"

"Everybody's curious." Professor McGonagall said, looking a little embarrassed.

She originally just wanted to find someone to ask about the crown, but she didn't expect that she would unknowingly reveal a lot of things, and when she reacted, everyone seemed to know the reason for Kyle's leave.

Rowena Ravenclaw's make-up lessons, who could not be curious, so they all came.

"Of course, it's also for your safety." Professor Sprout added.

"It's okay, come with me."

Kyle didn't care.

The professors present are all their own people, and there are no internal ghosts, so you can rest assured to take them with you.

So, the four professors and Kyle made their way to the eighth floor.

Along the way, a lot of people caught their attention, and they were speculating about what they were going to do.

Some also quietly followed, ready to gather first-hand information.

But Professor McGonagall only turned around and looked around with a blank expression, and they gave up on the idea in an instant.

Once on the eighth floor, Kyle expertly made a few turns to the middle of a hallway, placing the raven knocker in his hand on the wall.

Then, under the shocked gaze of the professors, a door appeared out of thin air.

"Is there another place like this at Hogwarts?" Professor Flitwick couldn't help but ask.

He had been a professor at the school for decades, and he never knew about this place.

But no one answered his question.

Because Kyle had already opened the door and walked in, Professor McGonagall was the first to follow, followed by Professor Barburing......

When they saw the scene inside the door, they fell into shock again.

It was the foyer of Hogwarts, with the Great Hall on the left and the staircase in front of it, and everything was the same except for some decorations, even the students.

Is there a Hogwarts in Hogwarts?

This made them a little unbelievable.

But the professor is a professor after all, and they are all people who have seen the big world, and they quickly calm down, and at the same time, they also see the difference between this place and the school.

Everything around is new and should be Hogwarts from another period.

"It's amazing."

Professor Babling put her hand on the wall next to her, squinted her eyes and whispered, "This place is literally made of magic script...... Oh, and keep it running through the magic of the castle...... It's a huge project, it's amazing! ”

Young wizards will inevitably produce some superfluous magic in their daily lives, or when they use magic spells.

These magic powers are generated in the castle and will be fed back to the castle, such as the portraits on the walls, the armor that speaks, and the stairs that can rotate, all of which exist by virtue of these magical powers.

Of course, the same is true for the Room of Requirement.

In other words, when there are no students in the castle, there is no room for requirement.

"It's just the basics, and it's even more amazing on the second floor." With that, Kyle walked up the stairs and led the professors to the same classroom where he had been taught.

It was also at this time that the professors understood what the so-called make-up class meant.

A professor they had never seen before was giving a serious lecture in the classroom, and even after noticing the person outside the door, he would reprimand him with a serious face:

"What are you still doing standing outside, don't you know it's class?"

Several professors who had worked at Hogwarts for decades could never have imagined that one day they would be reprimanded in such a tone.

It's like they're reprimanding students who are late.

What's even more awkward is that they don't know how to refute it, and Professor Flitwick even subconsciously walks in, and he can see that this is a Charms class.

"All this Rowena Ravenclaw?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "This is the school she remembers, Hogwarts from a thousand years ago, and I can study here for a while." ”

Now, Professor McGonagall believed it.

Using memory to weave a real world is something that even Dumbledore can't do...... Probably only the Big Four can do it.

Thinking of this, the remaining three professors glanced at each other, and then dispersed very tacitly, and began to look for something from classroom to classroom.

"Okay, for my safety." Abandoned in place, Kyle twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say.

But he also thought it would be like this, shrugged his shoulders and casually walked into a classroom.

Amazingly, he had been out with the professors for a long time, but when he came in, the class in the classroom had just begun, and the content had not been left behind.
