Chapter 850 The Crown of Increased Wisdom

Maybe Helena Ravenclaw will know something...

Ivan thought about the ghost lady whom he had not seen for a long time. He had been busy dealing with matters at the Ministry of Magic and almost forgot about her. It seemed necessary to meet Helena again.

…

Late at night, in Ravenclaw's tower, an owl quietly slipped in through the open window, and after landing, it transformed into a human form again.

Ivan looked around and soon found the ghost lady in front of the white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Helena obviously noticed Ivan's arrival, but she pretended not to see it and moved her body deeper into the corridor.

Ivan frowned and felt a little strange, but he still strode forward and said hello.

"Good evening, Lady Helena!"

The erratic female ghost reluctantly stopped moving forward, turned her head, glanced at Ivan with a disgusted expression, and said casually. "Good evening, Hals. It's been almost a year since we last met. I didn't expect you to come to me again... Is there something you still don't understand?"

Ivan touched his nose, feeling inexplicably like a disloyal man meeting his ex-wife.

Fortunately, from Helena's few words, Ivan also found the reason for the other party's cold attitude, and a hint of apology suddenly appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Helena, there are too many things happening in Hogwarts during this period, which have affected my energy... and I also want to give you a surprise!" Ivan said, while holding a hat The white gold crown set with gorgeous sapphires was taken out.

Helena's eyes were instantly attracted. She slowly floated in front of Ivan, and looked at the crown in Ivan's hand with fascination. Her eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness, and finally she gently stretched out her hand as if to think He wanted to hold up the crown, but unfortunately his arm went right through it.

At this time, Helena suddenly remembered that she was a ghost and could not touch things in reality.

Helena sighed lowly, but she also noticed keenly that the crown did not seem to be as seriously damaged as Ivan said before.

"Have you fixed it?" Helena asked slightly surprised.

"Yes, that's why I took so long to come to you..." Ivan nodded, and then told Helena that he had made various attempts to repair the crown and had gone through several times. It failed, but finally found a way to repair it from Ravenclaw's laboratory...

"I accidentally broke it three years ago, so I always wanted to repair this crown before returning it to you, but I didn't expect it would take so long." Ivan spread his hands and added helplessly.

"So that's it, I don't know... I thought..." Helena said softly, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

"Think I'm the same as Tom Riddle?" Ivan asked with a smile.

"It seems that I misunderstood you..." Helena's cold face turned slightly red.

After learning that Ivan had been trying to repair his mother's crown for nearly a year and fulfill her wish, the anger and resentment accumulated in Helena's heart immediately dissipated.

She did not doubt the authenticity of Ivan's words, because during this year, she also asked the Ravenclaw students to learn about the past three years ago, which was exactly the same as what Ivan said. .

In addition, Ivan had asked her about alchemy before, so Helena knew very well that the young wizard in front of her had extraordinary attainments in alchemy, and it was not impossible to repair her mother's crown. matter.

"Anyway, thank you for fulfilling one of my wishes, Hals." Helena said gratefully.

"Since I promised you that I would definitely bring it here, I have to do it. Besides, you have helped me before and told me many secrets of this castle, right?" Ivan raised his eyebrows. Responded verbally.

Helena smiled lightly, and her erratic figure looked bright and moving under the moonlight.

"You should smile more, it looks much better than the usual cold look." Ivan said jokingly.

Helena was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face faded a little, and she said slightly angrily. "You should save this for those little girls who are still alive..."

Ivan shrugged noncommittally, and seeing that Helena was in a good mood, he asked about business. "By the way, Helena, I heard that the golden crown left by your mother can increase people's wisdom. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I stole it just to become smarter than my mother." Helena sighed.

"Then, did you succeed?" Ivan did not rush to ask how to use the Ravenclaw crown, but asked curiously.

To be honest, it was hard for him to imagine that relying on a magic item could make a person extremely smart...

"I succeeded, but maybe I failed..." Helena slowly floated to the bust of Ravenclaw, stared at it, and after a long time, she suddenly said. "Have you been to the laboratory in the Room of Requirement?"

Ivan nodded, but he didn't understand why Ms. Ghost suddenly mentioned this.

Helena ignored Ivan's confusion and said to herself.

"My mother Rowena was a very smart witch, no... I should say she was the smartest person in the magic world at that time."

"But it is precisely because she is so wise that she is fascinated by the magic of magic and wants to explore the mysteries of magic... She was even dissatisfied and made a golden crown that can make people smarter..."

Helena faintly talked about the past. As the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, she was highly anticipated by everyone when she was born.

It's a pity that compared to her mother, who is a genius, her talent is only at the level of an ordinary genius. No matter how hard she tries, she can't match her mother's abilities.

Probably because she was disappointed with her performance, after she became a little more sensible, Rowena devoted most of her energy to the study of magic, and the time she spent with her became less and less.

This made Helena, who was young at the time, feel resentful. At the same time, she was extremely envious of her mother's unparalleled wisdom. She could always easily be praised by others no matter where she went.

"At that time, I stubbornly believed that if I could become smarter and more famous than my mother, then she would probably be willing to look at me more..." Helena said in a low voice.

"So you stole the crown?" Ivan asked.

Helena nodded slightly, then turned around to look at the golden crown in Ivan's hand, and said with emotion. "When I put on this crown, I knew I was wrong, and it was so wrong, but I didn't want to give in to my mother. I wanted to prove to her that what she can do, I can do the same..."
