"Thank you for your compliment, but it's not really worth mentioning. It's just to make up for our mistake and increase Mr. Filch's workload." Allen maintained his modesty and vigilance.
"A pure and kind heart is precious. Such a quality really shines. Well, child, I'm sure you're tired after such a lively night. Quickly go back to your comfortable bed. Sweet dreams, good night! "
Allen was surprised that Dumbledore did not punish him for breaking the rules. He felt that it was only natural. The professor had always had the courage and adventurous spirit of Gryffindor. Besides, although Allen was not afraid of punishment, it was best to have fewer twists and turns. Allen bowed to Dumbledore and left.
When he returned to Ravenclaw Tower, he still had to face the question of the magic door knocker. "You only need to call its name to destroy it. What is it?"
Although it was late at night and Allen was very tired, he still gave the answer after some thought. "Silence." The door opened silently and Allen immediately went in.
Just as he was about to return to the dormitory, Allen suddenly stopped. He felt like someone was watching him. He looked around, but there was no one, not even a ghost. Allen was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory. Aura's brother Albert often said at home, "Always be vigilant." This was not an original saying by Albert, but a catchphrase of a senior in Aura's office. At this moment, Allen felt that it was very reasonable.
He believed that it was not an illusion. Therefore, Allen did not rush back to the dormitory. Instead, he took out his wand. Fortunately, the magic candle in the common room was not extinguished at night, so Allen could clearly see the situation around him.
The blue and bronze curtains fluttered in the wind. Obviously, there was no one behind. The ceiling and carpet decorated with stars were clear at a glance. There was also no one. Allen gently bypassed the rows of bookshelves and scanned all the spacious chairs, but there was no trace of anyone.
The quiet night was accompanied by the cries of unknown insects and a cool breeze. It should have been a comfortable and beautiful feeling, but Allen's hair stood on end. This feeling of being stared at never disappeared. Everything had been checked, so there was only —
Allen quickly walked to the niche opposite the door and carefully observed the white marble half of Loynar Ravenclaw's body.
This was an extremely beautiful face. Her facial features were extremely three-dimensional, as if they had been chiseled by an axe. Her tightly shut lips, round eyes, and furrowed brows all revealed that not only was she beautiful, but she was also a very strict person.
One of her hands held the wand in front of her chest and placed it above her left heart. Her other hand hung down naturally, but her palm made a gesture that seemed like an invitation or an explanation.
The whole statue looked as if it was urging the students to study, as if it was explaining magic knowledge, and more importantly, as if it was earnestly analyzing its own life experience. The most interesting thing was that no matter where you were, Loynar Ravenclaw's eyes seemed to be staring at you.
Allen could not find any abnormalities from the statue, but with the sharp five senses brought about by the Body Refining Technique, he confirmed that the feeling of being observed came from the statue.
"I know you are hiding in the statue. Come out!" Allen pointed at the statue with his wand.
"If you don't come out, I'll break the statue." Allen gently tapped the statue with his wand.
"Four-" The tip of Allen's wand emitted a faint blue light.
"Stop, how dare you?" An extremely beautiful spirit quickly floated out from the statue.
"Oh, so it's you. Madam Grey. " Madam Grey was the spirit of Ravenclaw. Like her mother, she was very beautiful. Her long hair cascaded down to her waist, and her wide robe reached the ground, but it could not hide her beautiful figure. But unlike her mother's majesty, she was arrogant and condescending at the same time.
"Allen Harris, I know you, an outstanding student of Ravenclaw. Many professors are full of praise for you. But I know that you go out early every day in stealth mode. Your behavior is very strange. "Madam Grey stuck close to the statue, as if she would hide in it if something went wrong.
"So you see me in the statue. Dear Madam, everyone has a little secret, but my morning exercise is not a secret. I just get up early and go out to exercise. Stealth is just to avoid trouble. The school's patrol is still very strict. "Allen shrugged. He had already concluded that Madam Grey did not have any malicious intentions. As for observation, Naughty Ghost was much worse than Madam Grey.
"But what I am curious about is, this is the statue of Royna Ravenclaw. How can you live in her statue?" Allen hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key to the problem.
Staring at Madam Grey, Allen did not miss the flash of panic in her eyes.
"Royna Ravenclaw is my biological mother. As her only descendant, of course I can live in her statue." Madam Grey explained.
There was a problem! Allen did not believe such an explanation. It was common for people in portraits to be able to move around, but it was rare for a spirit to live in someone else's statue. Wait, Crying Myrtle could live in the toilet because the toilet had pipes, and there was a space inside for her to live in. A spirit could not live in a physical body. For example, a spirit could pass through a thick wall, but it could not hide in the wall. In other words, the statue was either empty, or there was another mystery in it.
In just a few moments, Allen saw that Madam Grey was lying. So the question was, why did she lie? What was she hiding?
"Extraordinary intelligence and wisdom are the greatest wealth of mankind. Your mother was beautiful and intelligent. As her only descendant, you are lucky to have such a great mother. "Allen complimented. In terms of modesty and politeness, no one can compare to the people of the Celestial Empire.
"Lucky? Young man, when you've experienced more, you'll know that outstanding intelligence and wisdom may not be the greatest wealth, but it may also bring about a great disaster. Having a great mother with countless halos may not be a good thing. "Madam Grey seemed to be touched by something sad, and her tone was very sad.
"Madam, you seem to be very sad. Is there anything I can help you with? After all, I am Ravenclaw through and through. "Allen tried to persuade.
"Perhaps. After all, you're a student of Ravenclaw, a student selected according to her standards. There was once a young man who was very similar to you. He was just as outstanding, just as elegant. He also tried to persuade me, but he lied to me." Madame Grey became angry.
