If he wanted to know if Ravenclaw and Gryffindor really had some unknown relationship, the most effective and direct way was not to look up some historical books, but to ask the ghost Ravenclaw herself. She must know about her mother.
Because of the newspaper, Elwyn had seen the ghost.
The impression the ghost left him was that as long as he was willing to say something nice, she would probably be willing to tell you everything she knew without holding anything back …
Many ghosts were not as simple as they looked. They knew some very hidden things, such as Weeping Myrtle.
She did not always stay in the abandoned girls' bathroom on the third floor and cry and do nothing. Usually, if she had nothing to do, she would go out to the bathrooms of the prefect and the boys of the four academies and peep at the boys bathing. She was also very willing to share this secret with people who knew about it, commenting on the boys' bodies and sizes …
After knowing about this, Elwyn was very careful every time he went to bathe, paying attention to whether there were any ghosts hiding in the pipes.
The topic shifted back to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. To be honest, Elwyn was still very interested in the secret past of the school's founder, but now was not the time to study this. The first thing he needed to figure out was why Ravenclaw left these memories.
She would not leave her past experiences for the future generations to comment on for no reason. Where was the key to her secret treasure?!
Elwyn continued to watch patiently. The scene changed, and he entered a new memory.
This time, the sailboat quietly floated on the sea and did not move forward. What appeared in front of him was a steep, huge black reef.
The center protruded high above the sea, allowing the waves to hit it.
The protruding black reef had the appearance of a beautiful human girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was not wearing anything, but that was not all. Amidst the surging waves, one could vaguely see the lower half of her body hidden under the water … It was a terrifying six-headed, twelve-legged demon beast!
The Siren Skylar was a notorious siren in myths and legends.
It was said that its end was to merge with the stone wall it hibernated in and become the reef itself.
When Hagrid said that he was going to Sicily to look for giants, Elwyn thought of this famous siren.
Until today, its descendants still lived in the waters near the Strait of Messina, but the statue had disappeared.
The descendants of Scylla were under the strict control of the International Wizard Alliance and the Italian Ministry of Magic. The wizards would regularly send food to them and clean up those who disobeyed. It had been a long time since the water monsters swallowed passersby and sailors.
In fact, Elwyn had also heard that they were planning to imitate the management of the fire dragons in Romania. They would develop a protected area to protect the sirens and open it to tourists to earn money for research and breeding.
This sounded pretty good, and it was also a good thing for the magical creatures that were on the verge of extinction!
However, Elwyn was now a thousand years ago. In Ravenclaw's memories, the situation here was very different.
A beautiful song came to them intermittently, as if to guide them to the past. If it was not for the sound of the giant dogs panting and barking, their singing actually sounded pretty good. It was even more beautiful than the singing of the mermaids. It was the best music that Elwyn had ever heard.
"Scylla, one of the three legendary sirens. It's really a dangerous sea, there are all kinds of monsters!" Gryffindor said softly. He was standing on the left side of Elwyn. "Rowena, what are you going to do? It's not good to go over like this."
The water around the reef in front of them was tumbling, and from time to time, one or two sirens could be seen. Their upper bodies were the most beautiful human girls, and they were not wearing anything. Coupled with their beautiful singing …
The ordinary crew members on the ship looked at them with their mouths agape. Their faces were a mix of fear and excitement. They all knew what those sirens meant, but they could not resist the temptation of the girls' exposed bodies. If it were not for Ravenclaw's magic, they would have sailed over …
What awaited them would be death. They would be eaten alive by these sirens.
"You stay here with the others, I'll go take a look first!" Ravenclaw said, staring ahead. "Since we see these sirens, the Great Whirlpool of Carubdis should be nearby. From the information we received, that thing is inside."
"It's fine if you go and investigate, but let me say this first. Don't leave me behind and act alone." Gryffindor said, looking at Ravenclaw seriously. "I don't need to say more. You should know how dangerous that place is."
"Don't worry, I'm not you. I won't act recklessly without thinking!"
"I'm worried that you won't be able to control yourself and do something stupid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you here! That thing is inside, but it's just the result of divination. It's not necessarily there, "Gryffindor continued. His face was filled with worry, which was rare.
"It's definitely there. Helga paid a huge price to divine this result!"
"But my astrological divination came to a completely opposite conclusion …" Seeing Ravenclaw looking at him, Gryffindor sighed and continued. "Alright, even if that thing is really there, it might not be able to help you."
"I know my own situation better than anyone else. I just don't want to give up any hope, even if it's a slim one!" Ravenclaw said. "This is the curse of the Ravenclaw bloodline. I've decided to end it in my generation, no matter what."
Elwyn, who was standing at the side, was getting more and more confused. What was the curse of the Ravenclaw bloodline?!
He had never heard of this, nor had he seen any records of it in the historical records.
What kind of strange development was this? If he could, he really wanted to shout and beg the two of them to explain it to him first before continuing the discussion.
"You call this power a curse, but I don't see what's wrong with it. This is the secret that keeps the Ravenclaw family strong." Gryffindor paused for a moment and said seriously, "Ravenclaw, let's go back!"
