When Katie Bell appeared in the Hogwarts Auditorium during breakfast, many people exclaimed in surprise.
Bobbi Pomfrey, the healer of the Hogwarts School Medical Office, stopped Katie and insisted on checking her body again. After confirming that Katie had indeed recovered and that there were no sequelae, Ms. Pomfrey left the auditorium with an incredulous look on her face.
It was the first time Katie had encountered such an encounter. When she walked through the aisle, people from all the academies stood up and stared at her. The little lions of Gryffindor applauded and cheered enthusiastically, welcoming Katie's return.
Leanne hugged Katie and looked at her friend. "You've recovered?! That's great. Hey, didn't Dumbledore diagnose you personally and say that you'll have to lie in St. Mungo's Hospital for at least three months to recover? " Leanne remembered the horrible scene when her friend was cursed. Dumbledore's judgment made her feel sorry for her friend. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Of course, I'm okay. I got a miracle in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Diseases and Injuries." Katie grabbed her friend's hand excitedly. The Quidditch team members who were on good terms with Katie could not help but ask curiously what had happened.
Katie told them the whole story of her curse, but what excited her the most and piqued everyone's curiosity was her encounter with the legendary founder of the Hogwarts, Loynar Ravenclaw, when she was hospitalized and cured.
"That's it. Ms. Loynar Ravenclaw did not actually die. She became a true god. She used her supreme power to cure my curse in an instant and brought me into contact with an incomparably wonderful world." Katie's expression was very sincere when she described the incident, and the reverence in her eyes did not seem to be fake at all.
"I asked Ravenclaw for help, hoping that she could free more wizards from the pain of illness. Ms. Ravenclaw agreed to my request for the sake of my sincerity." Katie puffed out her chest proudly. This was the benefit she fought for for everyone. "In St. Mungo's Hospital, as long as the patients sincerely pray to the statue of Ravenclaw under the moonlight every day, Ms. Ravenclaw will use every full moon night to select the three most pious wizards and ask them a riddle. Those whose answers satisfy Ravenclaw will be cured by Ravenclaw."
"Ravenclaw's common room can only be entered by answering a question. This is indeed Ravenclaw's style, advocating outstanding intelligence. Do you think that Gryffindor and the others are still alive? I mean, if Ravenclaw could do it, wouldn't the other three have also become gods? " Neville felt that it was necessary for him to read more books that could develop his wisdom in the future. After all, he often got injured by accidents and fell ill. Neville believed that he would need it sooner or later.
Harry adjusted his glasses. "As long as Slytherin is not alive …"
"Since you were cured at that time, why did you stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for a few more days?" Li Ann asked, puzzled.
"How can you be sure that it was really Ravenclaw?" Seamus put his hands in his trouser pockets and tapped the ground with his right foot. "It sounds like you were dreaming or accidentally ingesting hallucinogenic herbs."
"I'm cured! Even Dumbledore said it would take at least three months, but I was cured in an instant! It wasn't a hallucination. The reason I stayed in St. Mungo's Hospital for a few more days was because Professor Allen Harris heard about it and donated money to build a small shrine to be placed in the hospital. I want to preach the benevolence of the wise Ravenclaw to the sorcerers who are suffering from illness. " Katie's eyes shone like a fanatic. "If St. Mungo's Hospital hadn't chased me away, I would have left after Christmas. The holidays are only a few days away …"
Seamus leaned forward. "Professor Harris? Professor Harris also believes that it was Ravenclaw and not your hallucination? "
"Professor Harris didn't say anything about it, but he was very curious, so he donated money to build a shrine to be placed in the hospital. He wants to see if the situation will develop as I said, and if it can really heal the pious and wise sorcerers." Katie put her hands on the table and straightened her back.
"Neville, I have a Muggle cousin who lives in Texas. He mentioned that many of the hospitals there have chapels," Fraser whispered to Neville. "Having a chapel in the hospital can really alleviate the anxiety of the patient's family members to a great extent. Even atheists can't help but want to believe in the existence of God in times of despair and grief, and bless their loved ones to get through this difficult time."
"Katie, didn't you say that Ravenclaw's original form wasn't a five-headed fire dragon? Allen Harris's Guardian Charm changed from a phoenix to a five-headed fire dragon during the summer vacation, and Harry, you told me that he would use the Shadow Raven and the robe he was wearing … "Ron's muddle-headed mind suddenly lit up. He put the pieces of information together." Didn't the mysterious man almost become the successor of Slytherin? Then who is the successor of Ravenclaw? If Ravenclaw really exists, then Allen Harris must have something to do with her. Maybe that's why he's so powerful. You saw the relationship between him and Ms. Grey last semester. She even went back with him for the summer vacation! "
"Oh, Ron, you're always so careful and smart. You can find the essence of things from the subtleties." Lavender Brown giggled and hugged her boyfriend's arm.
My sister Padma in Ravenclaw told me that the one who's close to Ms. Grey is the famous crazy girl. You all know that she doesn't have many friends in school. If it weren't for Professor Harris … she would probably still be bullied by others. So it's not surprising that the crazy girl is friends with the ghost. I heard that she has been inseparable with the ghost since a few semesters ago. Professor Harris probably invited Ms. Grey last semester because of her. "
Katie's eyes lit up. "That's right! Ms. Grey's real name is Helena Ravenclaw. Maybe she knows something about her mother. I have to find a chance to ask her. "
It was Christmas. Snowflakes were swirling in the air. The large windows of Hogwarts Castle were covered with ice. Christmas was coming in the blink of an eye. Hagrid had moved the twelve Christmas trees that were indispensable in the auditorium every year. Allen took the time to help Professor Fleevy decorate the auditorium. The railings of the stairs were covered with holly and metal foil. The armors were polished until they shone, and everlasting candles flickered inside. Large bunches of mistletoe were hung at intervals in the corridor, which made the girls very excited. There were always girls standing under the mistletoe, laughing and playing.
Harry and Ron walked in the newly decorated corridor. Ron was full of pride and said proudly, "Laffer and I, I just can't stop. It's the legendary chemical reaction of love. Who knows if we will last, but the key is that I'm free. "
Ron's pet name for Lavender made Harry feel a little uncomfortable. Because of this, Harry had been avoiding getting too close to Ron recently. Otherwise, he would often have to see Lavender Brown and Ron sticking together. This girl seemed to waste every moment that she didn't kiss Ron. Compared to other witches, she seemed to particularly like to use her body to express her emotions.
Harry left Ron and went to the library alone. He needed to finish reading "The Fifth Element: Exploration" before the magic class tomorrow morning. Just as he walked through the rows of shelves in the library, trying to find a suitable seat, Romida Vanni, who was sitting in front of the window in the distance, opened her big black eyes wide. She raised her protruding chin slightly and waved enthusiastically at Harry. Harry nodded in response. Romida's long black curly hair fell to her chest and she laughed foolishly, which made people look sideways.
Then Harry felt someone punch him in the ribs. After that, Harry groaned and clutched his waist, unable to get up for a long time.
"Sorry Harry, I didn't control my strength well and used too much." Hermione appeared from the bookshelf with a few books and a few parchments in one hand. Her empty left hand was the culprit that made Harry feel like his spleen had almost been punched out.
"Cough … What are you doing! Hermione! "Harry clutched his ribs and gasped for breath. He felt that he must have bruises.
"I was the one who wanted to ask you what you were looking at! You can't let Ginny down! Those girls are only interested in you because of your reputation as the so-called savior. " Hermione wrinkled her nose, and her tone was full of disgust. "These girls were still in love with Allen last year, but after Allen Harris from the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries chased away the Mystery Man, they probably felt that the difference in status was too big, so they set their sights and targets on you, the savior who is relatively easier to get close to."
"I rejected her back then! Besides, Allen himself is also … "Harry looked at Hermione's serious and threatening look and resisted the urge to refute. However, after Hermione glared at him, he changed his words because of his strong survival instinct." But I am indeed a savior, at least a former one. "
Then Hermione slapped Harry with a parchment.
"Okay, sorry, uh, I was just kidding." Harry shrank back, regretting that he had to be mischievous. "Don't worry, I've already invited Ginny to Professor Slughorn's party after the Christmas party. Are you going with Allen?"
Hermione nodded with satisfaction when she heard that her best friend had invited her best friend. She then approached the bookshelf, and the bookshelf's magic made the books she borrowed fly back to their original positions one by one. "Yes, I'm going with Allen, but I won't be as relaxed as you and Ginny. Professor Slughorn will invite a lot of members of the Slug Club today, and I have to let them establish a certain connection with the Umbrella."
On the other side of Harry and Hermione's bookshelf, Luna accompanied by Helena was reading an old knight's novel on the long table.
Helena's transparent eyes swept over Romida. "Mom, Crying Myrtle told me that when she was in the girls' bathroom, she saw at least a dozen girls, including Romida Vanni. They all wanted Potter to take them to Slughorn's party, and they were also discussing how to make Potter drink the aphrodisiac. Should I remind him to be careful? "
"Why should I remind him?" Luna looked up at her daughter. "This is the potion that George and Fred disguised as perfume and cough water. This is a product of Weasley's Trick, which Hermione invested in. It's also your father's business."
Helena turned to Luna expressionlessly. "Mom, why is it Hermione Granger and Dad going to the party again? Didn't that slug boy invite you too?"
"I want to accompany you." Luna's singing voice made Helena take two steps back. She was already familiar with her mother's behavior, so she did not believe that Luna's answer was nonsense.
Looking at her daughter's expression, Luna changed her explanation. "They have to talk about business. It's too troublesome." Then, she put the book back on the shelf. "Helena, remember to remind me to bring my camera."
"Yes, mom." Helena had just answered when she saw Katie running towards her. "I'll go back to Ravenclaw's lounge first. That Gryffindor is too troublesome."
After saying that, Helena did not wait for Luna's response, she turned around and quickly floated away through the wall.
Katie anxiously reached out to stop Gryffindor, but she did not dare to yell in the library. After all, Mrs. Pincus was still patrolling the library with a broom. She had caused Gryffindor to lose two marks because of her.
Although Gryffindor did not want to see her, Katie was used to Gryffindor's habit of occasionally talking to Ravenclaw's students. She did not intend to give up. This time, she saw Luna with Gryffindor, so she decided to start from her angle.
Katie gave up chasing after Gryffindor and strolled to Luna's side. She lowered her head and with a somewhat embarrassed and fawning smile, she asked Luna for advice. "Miss Lovgood, can you tell me how to become friends with Gryffindor? You two look so close. I really envy you. If I can become friends with her, I can know more about Ravenclaw. You know, I was recently saved by her mother. I was just thinking that if I can know what Gryffindor Ravenclaw likes, I can at least bring some tributes the next time I go to St. Mungo's Hospital to pray. "
"Pudding." When Luna heard about tributes, she widened her protruding eyes and moved closer to Katie. "Gryffindor Helena's mother likes pudding."
"Uh … That's great … Thank you for your help … Then, Miss Lovgood, I'll take my leave first …" Katie could only force a smile at Luna. She then quickly left the library and muttered, "The crazy girl is talking nonsense again."
