Chapter 490 Lounge (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Lord Feather of the Netherlight)
The little wizards finally restored order. Padma let out a long breath. She didn't expect the crazy girl's spell level to be so powerful. She obviously didn't see how she practiced. The little wizard who could successfully cast the Patronus spell in the training class It's already quite a lot, but she saw that Luna did it if she could make the patron saint speak, and Alan should be able to do it too, but he has never seen him use the advanced usage of this patron saint spell. In fact, he has already They seldom come to the training class for training, and it is usually Miss Know-it-all Hermione Granger who manages them. Speaking of Gryffindor, Padma felt that it was her loss that her twin sister Parvati, who was assigned to her, did not want to come to the training class.
Taking the opportunity, Padma made up her mind and pointed to the door of the lounge not far behind Luna and said to the little wizards: "I don't intend to exaggerate, this is where the smartest witches and wizards live. Just like ours Founder - Rowena Ravenclaw, we put learning first. We don't need hidden common room entrances like other houses. As you can see, our common room door has no handle , featuring an enchanted bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. When you knock, the knocker will ask you a question, and if you answer correctly, you will be allowed in. For nearly a thousand years, all but Ravenc Law, no one can pass this simple barrier."
Parvati noticed the timidity in the eyes of some young wizards, and continued: "Some first-year students are afraid of the eagle ring's question, don't worry. Ravenclaw is good at learning, and you will soon learn to enjoy the challenge set by the eagle ring. It's not uncommon for 20 people to stand at the door of the common room, trying to answer the day's questions together. It's a great chance to meet other Ravenclaws from other years, and you can learn from them - but when you forget the Quidditch Odd tracksuits can be a little irritating when you need to rush in and out. So I suggest you double-check your bags before leaving Ravenclaw Tower."
After saying that, Parvati knocked on the door lightly, and the eagle's beak opened immediately, but instead of making a bird cry, she said in a soft, musical voice: "Phoenix or fire, which one comes first?"
"Well... what do you think, what is the answer?" Padma did not answer by herself. In fact, it is not so easy for her to enter the door by herself. Many times she has to think about it for a while or even rely on others to enter, so she pretended to be intentional. Leaving the challenge to these freshmen seems to turn around and ask this group of freshmen.
Padma explained very clearly before, these new students turned their heads, and there was silence in front of the door.
"Alan, it seems that you have to be busy for a while. I'll see you tomorrow." Luna's chanting voice broke the silence. "The answer is a cycle with no beginning."
"That makes sense," said the voice, and the door opened.
"Follow up, you still have a long time to deal with this door." Padma secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the awkward silence just now, she almost couldn't help but want to keep watching Allen, who was watching his performance, answered the question.
Padma didn't want to waste any more time, and greeted those little wizards who showed sudden expressions, and entered the common room one by one.
The graceful arched windows were open, hung with blue and silver silks fluttering in the wind. Under the deep dome painted with stars, a very tall female ghost in a long medieval dress was floating towards the female dormitory. She heard the movement, turned her head to look at the freshmen, and stopped suddenly when she saw Alan Seeing the slow-flying figure, he just stared at Allen expressionlessly.
"It's really popular. Even the female ghost is fascinated. Fortunately, the blood man Barrow didn't see it." Padma muttered, turned and introduced to the freshmen: "Okay, this is our public hall. It's the lounge, I'm sure you're going to have a great night. Our four-poster bed has a sky blue silk quilt and the sound of the wind blowing in front of the window is very soothing. By the way, that one over there Something like a black box is the TV that has been popular in the wizarding world recently,
Allen has donated one to each of the colleges, but the TV station hasn't started broadcasting yet, so be careful not to break it as you pass by. "
She pointed to Ms. Gray who was still there: "This is the ghost Ms. Gray of our college. I think you have seen her at the dinner party just now. She is very cold and proud, and she doesn't talk to people easily. People in other houses think she never speaks, but she still occasionally wants to talk to Ravenclaw. She is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts. Pretty lady, it's especially useful to ask her for advice when you're lost or can't find something."
Listening to the introduction of the female prefect Padma, Allen, who was busy with the work of the prefect and was lazy, his eyes flashed. He couldn't help but recall the several encounters he had with Ms. Gray. She is different from others. I don’t know when, she seems to be secretly paying attention to herself a lot of times. At the end of last semester, the twins almost had an accident when they were studying the prank fireworks. fireworks.
The freshmen looked at Mrs. Gray curiously, and after hearing Padma's introduction, they couldn't help admiring this cold-tempered lady.
At this moment, Luna poked her head out from the door leading to the girls' dormitory, and waved at Ms. Gray repeatedly: "Helena, why haven't you come in yet? The photos I took during the summer vacation have already been taken out."
"Here we come." Ms. Gray spoke immediately, no longer staring at Allen, turned her head and floated towards Luna. The little wizards watched Ms. Gray and Luna disappear at the door of the girls' dormitory, and turned their heads to look at Padma who was stunned and embarrassed. What about the agreed indifference?
"I think you need to understand our relationship with the other three houses: Gryffindors are not bad. If I have any problem with them, it is that Gryffindors like to show off too much. Their tolerance for heterogeneous It is also much worse than us. Gryffindor does not have our thirst for knowledge, but for us, they will not discriminate against those who are willing to explore unknown areas, such as you," Padma patted Ellen just now. That little wizard at Divination, "If you're willing to sit all day and all night in a corner of the common room cracking eggs and recording your predictions based on the different ways the yolks fall, that's not a problem at all, and you're very You may find someone willing to help you."
Hearing this, the named little wizard rubbed his messy hair in embarrassment.
"As for Hufflepuffs, no one would say they aren't friendly people. They're arguably the friendliest bunch in school. You don't have to worry too much about them when it comes to competition in exams, so to speak. You You've probably heard of Slytherins. They're not all bad guys. In fact, we Ravenclaws have gotten very close to them in the past few years because of the cram schools established by Allen. But before you know them, you should be more vigilant ...their house has a longstanding tradition of winning at all costs - although they haven't used these tactics against us Ravenclaws in recent years, so please remind your friends in other houses to watch out for them, especially Quidditch Competitions and exams. Finally, congratulations on being one of the smartest, quickest and funniest Ravenclaw houses."
Padma loudly introduced other colleges to successfully divert the attention of the little wizards and relieve her embarrassment. Seeing Ms. Gray's reaction just now, Allen wondered if Luna asked Ms. Gray to look after herself while at school? Thinking of this, Allen couldn't help feeling a little excited. It's rare that Luna, who usually seems heartless, can make such a thoughtful gesture.
At this time, in the Slytherin girls' dormitory, Pansy, who was enjoying the routine inspection for the first time in the lounge, received a complaint from the little witch.
"We want to sleep very much, but the quarrel erupting next door is too loud. It's against the rules of Slytherin's dormitory for them to stay up so late." The little witch raised her face, her shrill voice sounded quite excited .
Hearing this, Pansy raised her eyebrows, clapped her hands with her wand a little excitedly and said, "Well done, take me to have a look, I want to put them in confinement."
"I will tell you secretly if there is anything in the future." The little witch who was praised excitedly led the way.
Seeing the dormitory where the little witch stopped, Pan Xi frowned, and opened the door of the dormitory neatly. In desperation, she used a lot of strength, and the door knocked heavily against the wall, powerless. The ground opened and closed a few times.
In the dormitory, a little witch in a green nightgown stood stiffly in the middle of the room, while Emily stood aside, holding a magic wand in her hand and clapping her hands at the little witch who was only able to move her eyes. What the poor devil said.
Hearing the sound, the little witches who ran over from the dormitory to watch saw the horror of the petrified person, and then looked at Emily with a little fear, especially when they were hostile to Emily during dinner. the witches.
"Pansy, I just complained that I wanted to go to my brother's academy and she wanted to teach me a lesson. Do I need to break the spell for her? Will I be punished?" Emily asked Pansy a little pitifully. Dao looked a little nervous.
"Oh, cutie, of course I won't punish you, that's what she deserves, just move her to the lounge and let her hang out." As he spoke, Pansy directed the use of the levitating spell to lift the petrified little witch. To the lounge.
"Under normal circumstances, when little wizards in the first grade have conflicts, at best they can only shoot sparks at each other. They know too little magic and won't really hurt each other. I didn't expect Emily, you haven't had a magic session yet. You have already mastered the petrification spell in the spell class." Pan Xi deliberately amplified her voice, "I will take you to the intensive training class set up by your brother tomorrow to show the elites your talent, I believe they will like you very much If you need help with anything, they will definitely be very happy to agree."
Then Pansy scanned the surrounding little witches one by one with his scrutinizing eyes.
