The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 650, Relics of the Four Giants



There are five main towers in Hogwarts, the North Tower where the Divination classroom is located, the West Tower where the Owlery is located, the Astronomy Tower where the Astronomy class is located, and the other two are Gryffindor Tower and Ravenclaw Tower.

Ravenclaw Tower is located on the west side of Hogwarts Castle and is the common room and dormitory of Ravenclaw House.The way to enter the Ravenclaw common room is different from that of Gryffindor. Instead of answering a password, you have to answer a question on the eagle-shaped bronze knocker.

This was Ada's first time in the Ravenclaw common room.She originally wondered whether the bronze door knocker would ask some mysterious questions like the Sphinx, but she didn't even have a chance to be asked by the door knocker.

Someone accepted the question before Ada and gave a qualified answer, so Ada followed the crowd and entered the lounge together.

The common room was also a large circular room with arched windows and blue and bronze silks hanging on the walls.Stars are painted on the dome ceiling, and the dark blue carpet below is also dotted with stars.Tables, chairs, and bookshelves lined the floor, and a white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw stood in an alcove opposite the door.

Ada's appearance did not cause panic among the Little Eagles. The whitewashing by the "Daily Prophet" and other media was very effective, at least she was cleared of her name as the Dark Lord.

In the eyes of most Hogwarts students (except Slytherin), Ada was not as scary as rumored to be, even though she killed Umbridge in front of them.

As long as you don't mess with her, Ada won't pull out her wand on you. This is the consensus of many students.

So when Ada entered the Ravenclaw common room, the eaglets just looked at her and then did what they were supposed to do.Compared to Ada, they still think books and knowledge are more important, not to mention she is not a Ravenclaw graduate.

Ravenclaws would be proud of the celebrities their house has produced, such as Laverne de Montmorency, a brilliant pharmacist who invented many love potions and was featured in a chocolate frog picture.

There are also Quilinus Quirrell, Gilderoy Lockhart and others whom Ada is familiar with, these guys who have tarnished the reputation of Ravenclaw.

Of course, Ravenclaw is not without its faults. After all, not all outstanding people come from here.

Like Bridget Wenlock, the famous arithmetic diviner who discovered the magical properties of the number seven.

Wenlock was born in Dingworth, Cornwall, and entered Hogwarts in 1213. Many people mistakenly thought she was a smart Ravenclaw, but she was actually a Hufflepuff.

For this reason, the two colleges also fought.Gabriel Truman of Hufflepuff even had a wizard duel with a Ravenclaw prefect.

Ada doesn't know the outcome of the duel, but she hears that Truman received a box of coconut sorbet as a gift from Professor Sprout.This was what Cedric Diggory, the Housekeeper, had told her.

As long as it doesn't involve knowledge, books, wisdom, outstanding people, etc., the little eagles usually keep a low profile, so Ada doesn't have many acquaintances here, she only knows the prefects here.

But after looking around, Ada didn't see those familiar faces.Just when Ada thought she was going to ask someone randomly, a voice like singing sounded in her ears.

"Esmeralda Drizzt, I hear Ginny talking about you all the time," the girl said. "She likes you very much."

Xun Sheng looked around and saw that the girl had long hair reaching her waist, very light eyebrows, and two bulging eyes, which gave her a surprised expression.

The girl's wand was stuck behind her left ear, which made Ada immediately recognize her.

Luna Lovegood, she is Ginny's good friend, people at school prefer to call Luna "Crazy Girl".In fact, Miss Lovegood is not crazy, she just believes in some things that ordinary people don't want to believe. She is just a little different from ordinary people.

Genius goes to the left, madman goes to the right, and there is often only a thin line between the two.

"Hello, Luna," Ada said, "I'm looking for Ms. Gray, have you seen her?"

That's why Ada showed up in the Ravenclaw common room, wanting to have a word with the Ravenclaw ghost.Literally "chat a few words", after all, the other party is a ghost.

Luna nodded, but her big silver-white eyes looked dazed. She said, "I know where she is. Come with me."

After saying that, Luna took Ada out of the common room and came to an empty classroom in the main building of the castle. Ms. Gray was standing in front of the window. She looked particularly tall.

Ada walked slowly towards Ms. Gray, but Luna was long gone.When Ada walked to the window, Ms. Gray lowered her head and drifted away. She seemed not to like contact with relatively strangers.

"Hello, Helena." Ada greeted, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Ms. Gray, or Helena, should have been very beautiful during her lifetime, with waist-length hair and floor-length robes, but she was also a bit arrogant and a little arrogant.

"Is something wrong?" Helena's tone was not enthusiastic at all, revealing her impatience.

Ada was not the first person to know her identity. Everyone who knew her identity came to Ravenclaw's diadem in the hope of getting clues from her.After all, Helena was the daughter of the great Rowena Ravenclaw.

"If it's for the missing crown, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do." Helena said coldly.

At Hogwarts, whenever students need help, the ghosts of each house lend a helping hand.Except for Peeves, who only adds to the chaos and isn't a ghost.

However, Helena was a ghost from Ravenclaw House, and Ada was a Gryffindor and an undergraduate, so she didn't even think about what Ada would say next. Helena rejected her directly.

Ada raised her eyebrows and showed a playful smile. She said, "Helena, I know that you have been to Albania, and I also know that you hid your mother's crown in a hollow tree."

For a moment, surprise flashed across Helena's face, and Ada's next words shocked her.The ghost's expression would not change, but that's how Helena felt.

"I also know that the crown is no longer in the Eagle Country. It is now in Hogwarts." Ada continued.

Helena forced herself to calm down, and she stammered: "You - my mother's crown - what do you want to say!"

"You took the diadem away from Hogwarts, and the boy who coaxed the whereabouts of the diadem from you... brought it back." Ada said slowly, "And I destroyed Ravenclaw's diadem. ”

With that said, Ada took out the old wooden box and showed Helena the damaged crown inside.

"My mother's crown! He defiled it with dark magic!" Helena roared angrily, which made the wound on her chest look even more hideous.

Venting her anger, Helena calmed down and floated in the air, looking down at the crown in the box.

She whispered: "It's so ruined. If I didn't run away with it...if I didn't want to be smarter and more famous than my mother..."

"In fact, except for Gryffindor's sword, all the relics of the founder of Hogwarts were defiled by him with dark magic." Ada said, "Hufflepuff's golden cup. Your mother and Helga are good friends. , you must know. And the Slytherin ring and locket."

The milky white Helena was shocked and furious: "How dare he! How dare he do such a thing!"

"Why don't people who do all evil dare not?" Ada asked and answered, "I found them again and removed the black magic on them, but... they are still like this now."

Helena looked at the crown in the box again. Her mother's crown had become the broken state it is now. Her mother was not able to see her for the last time until she died. Everything was her fault.

"When the time is right, I will put the relics I collected back into the common rooms of each college for future generations to admire." Ada continued, "The four giants deserve respect from future generations. I hope their relics can be given to future generations." People inspire.”

After speaking, Ada walked out of the classroom.Before leaving the teacher, she dropped a sentence: "If I were you, I would come back with Barrow, but I would never choose Barrow."

Only the ghost was left floating there leisurely in the classroom, with a sad look on his face.
