Witcher at Hogwarts

Dumbledore took Ethan up several flights of stairs and finally reached the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

Finally Dumbledore stopped in front of a tapestry of a troll beating Barnabas silly.

The paintings on this tapestry are quite funny. Several trolls wearing funny tutus are using huge wooden sticks or big bones in their hands to hit a poor wizard with a pointed hat in the middle.

The poor wizard had no power to fight back. He could only curl up and be forced to accept the continuous blows from the trolls.

When Ethan and Dumbledore arrived in front of the tapestry, the trolls on the tapestry stopped their movements in unison.

Then the troll clumsily put down his stick, stood up straight, and saluted Dumbledore.

The poor wizard who had been beaten stood up straight and took off his hat to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore responded to the guys in the tapestry with a smile.

"Ethan, there are actually many secret places in Hogwarts." Dumbledore said and gently touched his hand on the wall opposite the tapestry.

A door that looked very smooth immediately appeared on the wall. The door was completely flush with the wall of the corridor. The only thing that stuck out was the brass door handle of the door.

Dumbledore took two steps forward, took the initiative to open the door, and then walked in.

Ethan had no choice but to follow Dumbledore and enter the door.

Inside the door was a rather empty room, surrounded by silence. The place was as big as a church, and the surrounding scenery looked like tall buildings.

Those tall walls are made up of thousands of various and weird things.

These debris are piled up into "tall buildings" one after another, making the whole house look like a small city.

"This is the Room of Requirement," Dumbledore explained to Ethan with a smile.

"There has always been a secret room in Hogwarts, and there are always some smart students who can discover it. The magic of this room is that after you find the room and open the door, the room will always become what you need it most. ."

“When I was a student, I drank so much pumpkin juice at a Christmas party that I accidentally took a wrong turn while looking for the toilet and found myself in a very decorated place I had never seen before. Beautiful room”

"That is the most luxurious toilet I have ever seen in my life! There are all kinds of exquisite and luxurious chamber pots in it. When I went back to investigate carefully, I found that the room had disappeared."

"I went looking for it a few more times later. When I was not able to return to the lounge in time and was tired and hungry, it appeared again. This time there was a table of delicious food in the room, and a very Soft bed.”

"This room always appears when people need it most," Dumbledore said, stroking the wall of the Room of Requirement.

"This is really magical." Ethan said.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Now this is a room used by students to hide things. It seems that these adolescent children have a lot of secrets!" Dumbledore exclaimed jokingly.

"Of course, Tom also hid the Ravenclaw diadem here," Dumbledore said.

"Didn't he think that this place would be discovered?" Ethan asked Dumbledore in surprise.

"Tom is too proud. This has always been his biggest flaw. He always thinks that he is the most special." Dumbledore said calmly.

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Ethan nodded. Arrogance is indeed a considerable shortcoming of Voldemort.

This shortcoming also exposed many flaws in his "careful" plan to hide the Horcrux.

"Ethan, I called you here this time because I want you to meet a lady." Dumbledore looked at Ethan and said seriously.

Then Dumbledore called softly, "Ms. Grey, please come out."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, a slender, pearly-white ghost suddenly emerged from the high piles of debris.

He was very beautiful, with waist-length hair and a floor-length robe. She floated in front of Ethan and stopped, floating on the ground.

"Ethan, this is Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw." Dumbledore explained to Ethan with a smile.

"Hello, ma'am." Ethan greeted the ghost in front of him politely.

Helena Ravenclaw also bowed politely to Ethan.

"Helena, I wish you could tell us more about the diadem," Dumbledore said to Helena Ravenclaw.

As soon as Dumbledore mentioned this, Helena Ravenclaw's expression suddenly became heavy, and even her pearly white body seemed to become darker.

"My mother made that crown, which can give the wearer extraordinary wisdom. I wanted to gain more wisdom and fame, so I asked my mother to let me wear the crown for a while, but my mother refused me."

Helena Ravenclaw paused here, seeming to be thinking about something, but finally she seemed to make up her mind and started talking again.

"So - I stole the diadem, and escaped from Hogwarts, far away, where I did gain some prestige through the diadem." Helena Ravenclaw said about her most unhappiness A memory that I am willing to face.

This made the light on her body become even dimmer.

"Then my mother got sick, very sick. Even though I broke her heart by doing such a terrible thing, she still desperately wanted to see me again."

"She sent a man to find me. He is also a ghost now. He is the Bloody Barrow. Barrow has loved me for a long time, but I rejected him. My mother knows that Barrow will not give up until he finds me."

"Barrow found the forest where I was hiding. When I refused to go back with him, he became furious. Barrow has always been a grumpy man. He hated me for rejecting him and was jealous of my freedom, so he stabbed me to death. .”

Helena Ravenclaw said as she lifted up her cloak, revealing a black wound on her white chest.

"After he came to his senses, he was filled with regret. Barrow picked up the weapon he used to claim my life and committed suicide. Hundreds of years have passed. In order to repent, he is still shackled to this day."

Helena Ravenclaw lowered her eyes when she said this, as if she couldn't bear to remember it.

"What about the crown? Where is the crown?" Ethan asked the most critical question.

"I saw Barrow stumbling toward me in the forest and I hid him, where he remained ever since, hidden in a hollow tree."

"The hollow tree was in a forest in Albania, and I was quite far away," Helena Ravenclaw recalled.

"Miss Helena, have you told anyone where you hide your crown?" Ethan asked cautiously.

"I rarely talk to others, but I told everyone about the crown one by one." Here Helena Ravenclaw became sad again, and she lowered her brows.
