Chapter 69 This Question Is Very Simple
"Please come in, Filius. Just in time, I also have something to discuss with you."
Dumbledore replied with a louder voice, and the oak door that was sealed by magic made a soft sound and creaked slowly open.
A wizard who was so small that he looked a little cute was waiting at the door. Even without Dumbledore's introduction, Elena instantly recognized the visitor's identity - Filius Flitwick. Professor of Charms at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Head of Ravenclaw House.
"There's something wrong with the Ravenclaw door knocker. Oh, I'm sorry...did I come at the wrong time?"
Professor Flitwick walked quickly into the principal's office and spoke quickly.
Just in the middle of speaking, Flitwick raised his head and saw the silver-haired little witch who was leisurely drinking black tea, as well as the rich variety of desserts on Dumbledore's table, and suddenly stopped talking, with an awkward expression.
"It's okay, I'm just rewarding Miss Elena with an extra dessert - because of that beautiful [fluorescence], you should have heard Minerva say that."
Dumbledore shook his head disapprovingly, replied with a smile, and at the same time secretly winked at Elena with his left eye.
Elena immediately understood and put down the tea cup, stood up from the chair, and bowed gracefully, "Thank you Professor Dumbledore for your hospitality. Then, I will go back to the lounge to sleep."
"Ah, yes, yes."
The little Flitwick nodded excitedly and glanced approvingly at Elena in front of him. "The noble and kind character is more admirable than the curse itself. I look forward to meeting you in class, Ai." Miss Linna."
Speaking of this, Flitwick had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Since he started teaching at Hogwarts in 1970, he has never seen any Ravenclaw students on the first day of school like this year. Because they couldn't answer the door knocker's question, they had to stay at the door of the common room in groups.
"Me too, respected Professor Flitwick. In fact, I have accumulated a lot of magic problems that I need to ask you for advice, such as [Quickly Shrinking] and [Quickly Enlarging]..."
Although Flitwick is only a little over one meter tall, this does not affect Elena's respect for the Ravenclaw dean, not least because magic is the core skill of every wizard.
More importantly, the Charms class itself is one of the few systematic rules summary courses in the wizarding world. Between the disorderly waving of wands and verbal will, it has explored solidified [magic black boxes] and constructed Today's prosperous magic world began.
"Oh, actually these two spells are very simple. The difficulty with them is not in the gestures..." When it comes to the areas he is good at, especially the questioner who he particularly likes, a kind and intelligent good student, Professor Flitwick becomes even more... Happy, he raised his finger and was about to explain a little bit.
"Ahem, regarding the question of the magic spell, I suggest you leave it until later. The most important thing for you now is to return to your dormitory quickly and have a good night's rest."
Seeing that the principal's office was about to turn into a temporary Charms classroom, Dumbledore glared at Elena, couldn't help but cough slightly, interrupted Flitwick's words, and redirected the topic to Flitwick's entrance. place, "So, Filius, it seems that your bronze door knocker has some more difficult problems?"
"I've seen it, and it's not too difficult."
Talking about this point again, Flitwick's face instantly fell, and he waved his hands in embarrassment, "It's just a simple arithmetic problem deformed, it's just a little weird. However, if you can't answer the question, you can't enter the common room. , this is the pride and rule of Ravenclaw House."
"Strange arithmetic problem? Shouldn't it be easy to get in?" Dumbledore was a little curious.
As the principal, Dumbledore naturally knew the unique way to enter the common room of Ravenclaw House. He only needed to correctly answer the questions posed by the eagle-beaked bronze door knocker to successfully enter.
Theoretically, the questions asked by the bronze door knocker are the same in a period of time, so usually only one student needs to answer it before everyone can enter the lounge.
"Yes, today's door knocker is a bit strange. In a sense, there is really only one problem with it, but there are some small details that keep changing."
Professor Flitwick scratched his hair in distress, sighed and said, "For example, put a rabbit and a raven in the same cage, tell them there are thirty-eight heads and ninety-six feet, and then ask the raven The number is different from that of rabbits. However, every time a student enters, this number will change..."
"It's really simple. Ten rabbits and twenty-eight ravens."
Elena, who walked slowly to the door, heard a sly look in her eyes, turned around excitedly, and completed the answer in an instant.
"Hey, have you seen this problem before? How could it happen so quickly?"
Flitwick's eyes widened in surprise and he blurted out a question. Although this was indeed not a difficult question in his opinion, it was definitely not so simple that it could be answered in less than a second.
"Eat it. Oh no, I mean they only need to lift their two front legs, and the rest are just the rabbit's hind legs."
Elena spread her hands and said matter-of-factly, winking cutely, "Am I right?"
"No, what you said makes sense."
Flitwick was stunned for a moment, thought carefully, and looked at the silver-haired little Lolita with a more cordial look, "Being good at breaking the rules of thinking is exactly the quality we have always advocated, rather than pure knowledge. Oh. , I wish you actually joined Ravenclaw House." At this point, Flitwick frowned.
Thinking about it this way, there is actually nothing wrong with the door knocker. It still firmly implements the mission assigned to it by Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm sorry, maybe our house needs to apply for some sleeping bags."
Professor Flitwick raised his head and said with firm eyes - What needs to be changed is not the knocker, but the way of thinking of the students. Since the first-year students of Hufflepuff House can answer questions instantly, then Ravenc Students at the Labor College have even less reason to complain about the questions.
"..."
Dumbledore glanced at the little silver-haired witch who disappeared behind the oak door, twitched the corners of his mouth, and nodded silently.
His intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to this little guy, but since Flitwick, as the dean of the college, had already made a decision, and he was just guessing, it was naturally difficult to refute it.
"Okay, if you insist, Filius." Dumbledore shrugged, not intending to delve too deeply into this matter, and then looked at Professor Flitwick with a serious face and said solemnly.
"In addition, there is one more important thing. Although it is getting late, we may need to summon all the professors."
"Regarding the "Hogwarts Special Period Adjustment Regulations", we may need to make some adjustments to the teaching plan. In the meantime, I have added a preschool preparation course for the little wizards. I thought about it carefully. The benefits are: A lot. For example, it helps break down the barriers in the academy, improves young people’s willpower and spell-casting accuracy, and helps strengthen their bodies..."

Second update! The explosion was successful! The one-shift beast evolves, and the hell double-shift beast evolves.
I beg you with all my heart, please, please don’t stew me~ I’ve been working very hard on writing~~ Gu!
This plot is very imaginative, but it also needs to be written very carefully. If you are not careful, it will collapse. One step leads to the cloud, and the other step leads to the abyss.
The fat chicken with a round face went to sleep! Huihui~
