For the rest of the semester, the little wizards stayed in the castle. It was not because they did not want to go out to play, but because of the continuous heavy rain and the wet square, they were not in the mood to go out. They would rather stay in the library to finish their homework and play in the common room to pass the time.
Allen did not concentrate on his research and work these days, because he found that Helena had been acting a little strange since he met her. He found that Helena had begun to secretly look at him several times. But whenever her eyes met with Allen's, she would turn her head away expressionlessly, as if she was not the one who was caught peeking at him.
When he asked Helena about it, she did not say much except for her etiquette and good upbringing. Allen could not help but think of the situation when he was in the fourth grade. He once caught Helena secretly following him. Obviously, she already knew about his relationship with her at that time.
In the blink of an eye, the end of the semester came. This year's banquet in the Hogwarts was different from the previous years. Not only was there a more sumptuous banquet, but the house elves had also taken out almost all of their remaining reserves. Anyway, many things would have been spoiled by the time the next semester started. The Aura had also been stationed in the Hogwarts, guarding all the corridors and increasing the security forces around the academy, including Hogsmeade Village. This was a good job for the Aura, and many adult wizards were willing to take this opportunity to return to school.
The little wizards could see from the huge screen in the auditorium that the Ministry of Magic had asked the students to pay attention to in the Hogwarts. It was worth noting that the Ministry of Magic had emphasized that in the event of danger, the little wizards could use their magic wands to defend themselves. They also encouraged everyone to go to the Ministry of Magic to get a badge that could quickly report a case to the Ministry of Magic.
However, the news and the presence of the Aura had given the students enough confidence, and Ravenclaw had successfully defended their title in the School Cup again. Everyone at the Ravenclaw table was celebrating. Everyone ate, drank, and laughed together.
After Professor Dumbledore announced the end of the banquet, everyone returned to the dormitory with their full stomachs. But for the little wizards, other than who would be the next year's Magic Defense Against Dark Magic professor, the news that the Gryffindor team of five actually had 100 points deducted by Professor Mag a few days before the end of the term was also the hottest topic recently. Fortunately, Gryffindor's score had dropped to the bottom under Umrich's rule, so the other Gryffindor's team of five did not have much of a reaction.
"I heard that it was Ron Weasley went berserk in the Three Broomsticks, weeping hysterically and laying his hands on the poor waitress. " He slumped on the soft sofa in the common room of Ravenclaw and said lazily.
"That waitress is called Cheryl. She has very beautiful honey-colored hair. Parvati and I have asked her about the brand of shampoo she uses …" Padma Padma Patil raised his finger, frowned, and said angrily, "Poor Cheryl. She just came to be a waitress after giving birth to a child for her husband's illness. That redhead should really go to St. Mungo's Hospital to have his head checked. I heard that he was angry with poor Cheryl because he didn't want to come out of the closet."
The next day, the castle was noisy. The young wizards were happily packing their luggage. The return of Lord Voldemort did not stop them from enjoying a long and happy summer vacation.
As the departure time of the crimson train approached, the young wizards in the castle began to pack their luggage. When Luna finished and went to meet Allen in the common room, Helena was expressionlessly looking at Hermione, who had already arrived. She could not stand Allen's slow-motion actions. Allen, on the other hand, had nothing to do, so he went to Fleevy's office to say goodbye to his closest professor and colleague in Hogwarts Academy.
Seeing Luna come in, Helena greeted her and stared at Hermione's packing. Then she turned around and hurriedly disappeared through the wall, as if she was angry.
"Luna, what's wrong with her?" Hermione asked in confusion. She thought that she had done something to upset Luna again.
Luna, who was half lying and half sitting on the chair, did not raise her head. She asked in a daze, "What?"
It was finally time to leave. Helena floated behind Allen and Luna with an expressionless face. They walked along the usual route to the entrance hall to meet up with Allen's sister, Emily. Emily, who was quite popular in Slytherin, was saying goodbye to her classmates.
As Allen and the rest came out late, the corridor was full of young wizards in a hurry. They saw Helena walking side by side with Luna and Allen, and they all looked at her in surprise.
The students had heard the private rumor that Luna was Loina Ravenclaw. Helena was Ravenclaw's child. Looking at the situation in front of them, they recalled the scene when Madam Grey and Luna were together. They could not help but doubt the authenticity of the somewhat ridiculous rumor.
When they arrived at the entrance hall, Hermione pointed at the young wizards who had already begun to jog outside the castle. "Let's hurry up. The train is about to leave."
Suddenly, Hermione quieted down. She found that the atmosphere was not right. At this time, Luna and Allen were motionless and looked at Helena. Helena was used to saying goodbye to them at this time every year. She waved at her parents expressionlessly and turned to leave.
Outside the castle, countless young wizards were happily chasing and running, wanting to board the train. They were going to see their family members whom they had not seen for a semester. In the castle, after saying goodbye to Allen and the rest, Helena floated alone across the marble stairs, through the empty corridor, and floated towards Ravenclaw's tower.
Looking at Helena's lonely back as she passed through the wall, Allen suddenly understood her abnormality during this period. She had been used to this kind of lonely life, but after they finally acknowledged each other's identity and reunited for a short time, she had to bear another separation and endure the loneliness of being alone. She had lived such a desperate life for nearly a thousand years.
Thinking of the scene when he met Helena in the basement, the girl who seemed to have no interest in life in the dark — although strictly speaking, she was indeed not alive.
Dying in the most beautiful years of her life, not having seen all kinds of beautiful sceneries in the world, not being able to taste the delicious food, and not being able to experience love and being loved — Allen would never admit that Blood Man Barrow loved Helena. In fact, he suspected that the reason why he rarely met Blood Man Barrow in the academy was because this ghost, who was also a victim of Ravenclaw, knew something and deliberately avoided him.
For hundreds of years, his daughter could only float in a corner, watch, and enjoy the best food at the happiest ceremony for all the little sorcerers. All of this was like a dream to her.
Thinking that Helena could only wander in the castle alone for such a long time during the summer vacation, and that she did not have a good relationship with other ghosts. Unlike the Headless Knight, who was good at socializing, she had so many ghost friends. Thinking of this, Alan felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a pair of big hands for his carelessness.
"Wait for me." Without waiting for the girls to respond, Allen chased after Helena.
"Helena," Allen called out, and Helena immediately stopped floating and turned around.
"Yes? Father, did you forget to take something? "Helena asked politely, but with a trace of unfamiliarity.
Allen did not answer her question. Instead, he pretended to be confused and asked his daughter, "Where are you going?"
Helena was a little confused, "Me? What? Aren't you leaving? "
"Yes, we're leaving together," Allen reached out his hand to Helena and held his daughter's translucent left hand.
"Where are we going?" Helena's voice was a little dazed, and her body was fixed in place.
"Father is taking you home."
