Once all the visiting adepts had left, the silent ward made Katherine feel even more desolate than before. She turned on the TV and saw a replay of the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin in Quidditch.
Did she see Draco?? Malfoy and the rest were thrown into the air by the Slythrins excitedly, while Gryffindor was dejected at the side. Katie felt increasingly guilty. She still had to stay in St. Mungo for almost three months. During this period, the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, which was formed temporarily, might still lose. Losing one or two matches was actually a small matter. However, the final Quidditch Cup was judged by the total number of points a team had accumulated during the semester. Hence, even if Harry caught the Golden Snitch as soon as possible in the following matches, if they only earned 150 points in each match, Gryffindor's final result would still be slightly better than Hufflepuff's team. They would be far behind Ravenclaw and Slythrin's team.
The more Katie thought about it, the more annoyed she became. If only she had not gone to Hogsmeade in the first place, she would not have caused so much trouble. However, the next moment, the curse broke out again. Katie twitched a few times before she closed her eyes and raised her head. Her heart was full of helplessness.
In the middle of the night, Katie, who was half-asleep, seemed to be pulled by something invisible. She swayed left and right on the bed as if something was constantly pulling her around. Katie's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was wide open. She let out a silent scream of terror as if she was suffering from an extremely terrible pain.
Katie clearly felt the suffocating pain again. The feeling of being torn apart from the depths of her soul made her want to die immediately. She was in so much pain that she felt hopeless. Although she did not understand why the curse would break out in such a serious way again, she knew that she could not ask for help. Unlike Muggle Hospital, which required infusions, the healers were not used to frequent ward rounds in the middle of the night.
Just when Katie realized that her consciousness had fallen into darkness, a vague female voice sounded in her mind. "Child, come here." The voice sounded like a clear spring. It was the kind of cold voice that only intelligent women had. It had a kind of peaceful power that successfully soothed Katie's irritation and despair.
This made Katie yearn to hear more. She desperately wanted to hear the sound of nature that could soothe her pain. Just as her soul was screaming for this, she felt her body lighten. Katie stood up straight and looked around in confusion. At this moment, the pain of the curse was far away from her. She could move freely, but she didn't know where she was. She felt like she was in a world full of darkness and chaos. There was a light in the distance. She only felt that she was floating.. as a feather.......
..... The closer she got, the brighter the light.. It wasn't until she saw a large ball of intense blue light in the shape of a cocoon in front of her that she stopped. Katie tried her best to keep her eyes open. The light gradually weakened, and the outline became clearer. The light spread out layer by layer and completely broke the darkness around Katie like waves of light.
However, after the darkness was expelled, Katie was consumed by an even stronger fear. She felt dizzy, and her mouth opened even wider than when the curse broke out. The strong sense of suffocation made her helplessly try to breathe. She felt that her blood was beginning to freeze in her veins.
A colorful light flashed. A dragon with five dragon heads and a tail like a traditional fire dragon appeared in front of her.
The feeling of being unable to control herself was completely different from the feeling of being pulled by the curse. Katherine found herself being lifted into the air by an invisible force. The force pulled her higher and higher, and then a sense of weightlessness came over her. Each head of the dragon had a different color, and its huge body was changing many colors. Beautiful stripes of these colors were scattered all over the dragon's body. There were so many, so dazzling, so confusing.
Katie was getting closer and closer to the red dragon head in the middle. She could even see her own terrified expression in its lava-ball-like eyes. Katie's human senses made it impossible for her to accept such a strong stimulus. She could not recognize so many colors and admire the incomparably noble Return of Myriad Colors.
Katie, who was forced to close her eyes, felt that she had regained control of her body. She wanted to escape, but the feeling of weightlessness was completely gone. Then, a sense of weightlessness came, and a cold touch came from below her. She opened her eyes and found that her legs were filled with lead. She could not move anymore. She collapsed on the ground.
The five-headed dragon had disappeared. It began to shrink, reassemble, and change its shape. It returned to its previous state of pure blue light. A noble, holy, and tall woman slowly floated towards Katie. It took Katie a while to realize that neither she nor the woman had moved. It was just that the distance between them suddenly shortened.
Katie looked at the woman's chiseled facial features in disbelief. The woman's tightly closed lips and half-squinted eyes not only made her look unearthly beautiful, but also a little stern.
"Goddess? … Are you a goddess? "Katie, who had lost her virginity, muttered unconsciously as her attention was all on the woman's face.
"Call me Ravenclaw." The woman's mouth did not open. The voice that guided Katie in the dark rang in her heart again.
With a shudder, Katie, who felt that she could breathe again, greedily gasped for air. Only then was she able to peek at the other party's full appearance. From the other party's familiar beautiful yet solemn face, the crown on her head, and the blue light emitting from her body, she saw one of the four great founders of Hogwarts, Royna? Ravenclaw!
"Roynar? Ravenclaw … "Katie could not help but call out Ravenclaw's name. Ravenclaw's hair fluttered without wind. She was enveloped in blue light.
Katie could not help but touch her own body. Was she already dead? How could she see Ravenclaw, who had been dead for almost a thousand years? If it was to bring her to the other side, shouldn't Gryffindor be the one to bring her to the other side?
"Madam Ravenclaw … But why am I here? I mean, why am I able to see you? " Katie was at a loss. When she thought about the hidden meaning behind the woman's name, she could not help but ask in a nervous voice, "Madam Ravenclaw … Are you a goddess?"
"All mortals die one day, Katie Bell. But not today, Bell. " Ravenclaw's voice echoed in the space. "This is not a place for mortals like you. But first, answer a small question. Five brothers, living together, with different names and different heights. What is this?"
"Uh … Fingers?" Bale was stunned for a moment before he answered the simple riddle that could only be used to tease children.
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."
Katie stared at Ravenclaw's five slender fingers that were emitting blue light touching her forehead. A cold feeling instantly entered her body from the top of her head.
Instantly, Katie felt her body being pulled backward and into another dimension. She could not help but spin in the air. It was as if she had been thrown out of the earth and into the universe. In the dark universe, countless stars were spinning. The earth slowly rotated under her. She even saw the back of her head.
Then, Katie was split into countless copies of herself. She couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion at all. Countless colorful balls exploded in front of her like brilliant fireworks. Layers of unknown substances bloomed like flowers. Katie fell into the middle of the stamen and fell along the stem to the ground. The soil was brewing, spinning, and stretching. In an instant, countless hands reached out from the dark soil and pulled her in.
Katie's body trembled violently. The strong feeling of falling through the air made her sit up. She felt her skeletal muscles involuntarily contracting rhythmically. Her hair stood on end. The skin on her head and neck was particularly itchy. Goosebumps broke out all over her body. She was immersed in a unique and pleasurable sensation in her mind.
It was quiet all around. When the feeling subsided, Katie realized that she was back on the bed in St. Mungo's Magic Hospital. Katie turned her head and looked at the table beside her. The excruciating pain that she had experienced before was definitely not a dream — under the moonlight, Loina's eyes lit up with a bright red light. Under the moonlight, the wooden statue of Ravenclaw stood on the bedside table in front of the window.
Katie reached out her hand and held the wooden statue of Ravenclaw in her hand. The moonlight seemed to have footsteps as it moved quietly with the statue. A sacred atmosphere erupted in the hospital.
Katie studied the wooden statue in front of her that was illuminated by the moonlight. Regret gnawed at her heart. She had forgotten to ask Ravenclaw to lift the curse. This rare opportunity was wasted by her stupidity. Katie was so anxious that tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She knelt on the ground and suddenly begged the statue unwillingly. "Madam Ravenclaw, Madam Ravenclaw …"
The statue of Ravenclaw emitted a faint blue light from her hand. The unforgettable feeling that she had experienced before reappeared. Katie felt that the pain, regret, and irritation in her heart were replaced by this stimulation. An indescribable tremor burst out from the depths of Katie's soul and quickly spread throughout her body. She could not help but tremble slightly.
Knowing that Ravenclaw was responding to her, Katie was overjoyed. She straightened her body and knelt on the ground, begging, "Ravenclaw the Wise, please remove the curse on me. Please help me ~"
Katie clenched her fists and made a praying gesture. "I'm a student of Hogwarts. Because I'm cursed and need to be treated at St. Mungo's Magic Hospital, I can't participate in the competition at Quidditch. Gryffindor's strength in Quidditch was weakened, and we lost the first competition … However, I don't think this is all my fault. Everything that happened was beyond my control … I'm very sad about losing the competition. I almost hurt the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore. This was not what I wanted … Ravenclaw, please lift the curse on me."
The more Katie spoke, the more agitated she became. She even choked with sobs and tears as she begged Ravenclaw to lift the curse.
"What curse?" Ravenclaw's somewhat muffled voice sounded. This time, his tone sounded much more relaxed than before.
Katie was stunned by Ravenclaw's question. She suddenly realized that her movements were not hindered in any way. Furthermore, the pain of being imprisoned and her soul being torn apart was all gone. She touched and patted her head happily, feeling the beauty of being healthy.
She recalled the hand that Ravenclaw had placed on her forehead, and the miraculous experience that followed. She suddenly realized that Ravenclaw had already cured her of the curse at that time.
