Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 606
c604 Reunion
The creation of the library changed Ravenclaw dramatically.
It is precisely because the Ravenclaw Library has a larger collection of books than the Hogwarts Library that top students from other colleges come to Ravenclaw in an endless stream.
Of course, books in the Ravenclaw library cannot be taken away from Ravenclaw, so apart from Ravenclaw students, you can see many students from other houses immersed in their studies in the Ravenclaw lounge. read.
Professor Flitwick also maintained a tacit attitude towards this situation. Perhaps in his view, although so many books were nominally donated by Mike to Ravenclaw Academy, they actually belonged to the entire Hogwarts. , of course it is feasible for people from other colleges to come and take a look.
But things were not as simple as he thought.
With Professor Flitwick’s connivance, many scumbag students who couldn’t study also gathered in Ravenclaw.
But of course their purpose here is not to study hard, but to get close to the Ravenclaw students.
Harry couldn’t understand this before, but as Mike became the Minister of Magic and Professor Flitwick became the principal of Hogwarts, it all happened smoothly.
Today’s Ravenclaw has undoubtedly become the first of the four major colleges.
Although Professor Flitwick did not go as far as Snape did, his preference for Ravenclaw students was unquestionable.
Harry estimated that the title of ‘Hogwarts’ best house’ would be transferred from Gryffindor to Ravenclaw in a few years.
Thinking this, Harry shook his head in disappointment. As a Gryffindor, he had very complicated feelings about Gryffindor’s decline.
He got up and walked outside. There were too many people here during the day, and such an investigation was meaningless. He decided to take a look again at night.
And just when he was about to arrive at the Eagle Head Door Knocker, whether it was because his depression affected his perception or something else, Harry bumped into a familiar figure.
“Isn’t it…” Ron, who felt that he had bumped into someone, hurriedly took two steps back, ready to apologize, but as soon as he said the words, he saw that there was nothing in front of him, and then the expression on his face He became stunned and said, “WTF!”
Looking at the stunned Ron in front of him, Harry suddenly panicked.
If it were anyone else, he could just hit them with a single stunner, then hide them in the cloak of death and walk away.
But facing Ron, he really couldn’t do anything.
Just when Harry was hesitating, Ron seemed to realize something. He stretched out his arms and groped in mid-air with straight eyes, and at the same time kept mumbling:
“Harry? Harry? Is that you?”
Harry wanted to escape directly, but looking at Ron’s expectant look, he finally gritted his teeth, walked around behind Ron, covered Ron’s mouth, and whispered in his ear:
“It’s me, don’t talk for now, keep quiet. Let’s find a place where no one is around to talk.”
Harry could clearly feel Ron’s body shaking at the sound of his voice, which made him involuntarily tighten his muscles.
Fortunately, Ron calmed down quickly. He nodded seriously towards the space beside Harry, and then tiptoed out of the Ravenclaw lounge like a thief.
Seeing his funny look, Harry couldn’t help but kick him on the PG, which brought him back to normal.
The two of them left Ravenclaw Tower all the way and came to the bathroom on the second floor. Since this is the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, no one usually wants to come here.
After carefully confirming that no one was following him, Ron gently closed the bathroom door, turned back to the empty bathroom and said uncertainly:
“Harry, are you still there?”
Harry didn’t answer him, but took off the Death Cloak.
Ron was startled by Harry’s sudden appearance. He instinctively took two steps back, but then he leaned forward again and reached out his hand to touch Harry’s body with a look of surprise.
“Is that you?”
“Of course it is me.”
Harry said with a smile.
“This is really… great!”
Ron’s eyes were wet, he choked and said while hugging Harry.
He hugged her tightly, which made Harry feel uncomfortable.
But Harry had no intention of struggling away. Like Hermione and Ron, he also missed his friends very much.
The two hugged each other like this, and after an unknown amount of time, Ron suddenly let go of Harry and said angrily with a pair of red eyes:
“Where have you been during this time? Do you know how worried we are about you?”
Facing Ron’s questioning, Harry remained silent.
He had gone through too many things since he came in, and he really didn’t know whether he should tell Ron, because this would inevitably involve them.
He even came up with the idea of erasing Ron’s memory, which was very easy for him with the forgotten flashlight.
But after all, Harry was just a young boy who was still young. His long wandering and high-intensity escape had put him on the verge of collapse.
Now he urgently needs a partner to express his emotions.
So after struggling for a long time, Harry finally spoke up and told Ron everything he had experienced during this period and the reasons why he wanted to return to Ravenclaw.
After saying this, Harry silently observed Ron’s reaction. All the magic power in his body had been mobilized. As long as Ron had the slightest sign that he was going to tell the truth, he would immediately take action and subdue Ron.
In his opinion, snitching and so on is a completely normal thing. After all, in the eyes of others, what he is doing now is indeed very crazy.
However, he still overestimated Ron’s normality.
After hearing this, Ron actually said with envy:
“This is so cool! Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier?”
“Yes…really?”
Harry stuttered a bit when he spoke, and Ron’s reaction was really beyond his expectation.
“Of course! I believe George and Fred will think so too!” Ron waved his arms excitedly and said, “By the way, that Deathly Hallows you mentioned, can it really grant wishes?”
“Of course! Of course! I found out about this after researching for a long time.”
Harry replied in a panic. As he said before, he had made some modifications to what happened, and the so-called modifications were about summoning the ancient gods after collecting the Deathly Hallows.
He described the ancient god among them as a being similar to Aladdin’s magic lamp.
Perhaps to justify himself, Harry continued:
“Both Dumbledore and Mike were deceived. They mistakenly believed that the ancient god was a being who would destroy the world, so they did not take the initiative to collect the Deathly Hallows!”
“cool!”
Seeing Ron’s convinced excitement, Harry turned his head humbly and changed the subject:
“Stop talking about this? Why did you go to the Ravenclaw lounge? Could it be that… you also went to get close to the Ravenclaw students?”
“of course not!”
Ron jumped up as if he was insulted and said:
“Hermione is studying there, I just went to deliver lunch to her…”
“Oh!” Ron’s expression suddenly turned frightened, “What time is it, Harry?”
“It’s almost 2 p.m.”
“It’s screwed! I forgot to bring Hermione lunch!”
Ron roared in horror and rushed out of the bathroom. Harry didn’t have time to stop him. In the end, he had no choice but to put on his death cloak and follow him.
The two rushed all the way to the Ravenclaw lounge, but although the place was still crowded, Hermione was no longer there.
So the two of them could only return to Gryffindor, but they didn’t expect that Ron’s face suddenly turned pale as soon as they entered the lounge.
Harry followed his gaze and saw Hermione hugging Fierce with both hands and staring at Ron with an unkind look.
“Mr. Weasley! Can you please explain where you have been?”
Hermione said every word.
After hearing this, Ron became even more panicked. His eyes were wandering, as if he was looking for something, and at the same time he was saying something that no one could understand.
Hermione sneered, flicked her hair and ran away.
Ron and Harry immediately chased after her. The former seemed to have finally regained his senses and approached Hermione and said something quickly.
Hermione’s steps immediately stopped. Her eyes were wide open and she covered her mouth with her hands as she looked around, looking like she was shocked.
Harry knew without guessing that Ron must have informed Hermione of his existence.
In desperation, he gently touched Hermione’s arm and signaled his presence.
Hermione’s body shrank suddenly, and she was startled.
The three of them were in a stalemate in the lounge hall for a while, and finally decided to find a place where no one was around to talk clearly.
On the way, looking at the nervous Hermione and Ron, Harry felt a little uneasy.
He actually wasn’t too surprised that Ron would support him.
After all, Ron is his best friend, and to be honest, his intelligence is a bit poor, or a bit naive, so he should be convinced of his lies.
But Hermione was different.
Hermione was already an old-fashioned person. Not to mention whether Hermione would believe his clumsy lies, Harry suspected that Hermione would drag him to see Black the moment she saw him.
This was something Harry was not far away from seeing anyway.
So the magic wand hidden in his sleeve is already in place. If things start to develop in a bad direction, he will take action without mercy.
However, the development of the matter was beyond Harry’s expectation. After experiencing a long-awaited reunion scene similar to that of Ron, Hermione did not show much doubt about the lies he told, and even tried to persuade him to do so. Hermione didn’t even say anything about Harry going back.
This surprised Harry.
“Hermione, don’t you advise me to go back?”
Harry asked cautiously.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him and said:
“Professor Snape died in battle and so many other things happened. If I ask you to go back now, will you go back?”
Harry was silent, and this silent response was obviously what Hermione expected.
She sighed and said:
“Harry, I’m sorry for what happened to you. But I think it’s best for you to give Black a hug from time to time. He’s missing you almost crazy during this time.”
“I also want to contact him.” Harry said with a dark expression, “But I can’t, it will implicate him.”
“Because of Mike? With all due respect, Mike is a good man. Black had gone to the Ministry of Magic to question him before. He said that the guy who attacked you had been dealt with by him.”
“What!?”
Hearing Ron’s answer, Harry jumped up from his chair.
He knew very well the previous close relationship between Victor and Mike, so he was surprised by Mike’s move.
To be honest, Harry was still a little happy. After all, Victor was the enemy who killed Professor Snape, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized something was wrong.
Now his purpose is no longer to protect the Death Cloak, but to collect the Deathly Hallows.
So if you put aside your emotions and look at it from a completely rational perspective, Victor, the guy who wants to collect the Deathly Hallows, is Harry’s friendly force worth fighting for, while Mike is the hostile force.
Thinking of this, Harry felt a headache.
Although he had made up his mind to do anything to save those who died, Harry still couldn’t do such a bottom-breaking thing.
At this time, Hermione had completely digested the information given by Harry. She raised her head and said to Harry:
“So, your purpose of returning to Hogwarts this time is to find the entrance to the secret realm of Freemasonry, right?”
Harry also came back to his senses and said:
“Yes, I’m sure it’s in Hogwarts…”
Harry quickly told Hermione and Ron his thoughts, as well as the locations he guessed might be the entrance.
“I also think that the Ravenclaw lounge is the most likely location. As for places like the Room of Requirement, I don’t think you need to explore.”
“Why?”
Harry said confused, he couldn’t understand what Hermione said.
“Do you remember that there was a period of time when Hogwarts was occupied by Chris?” Hermione continued, “During that time, his men had already conducted a blanket inspection of the entire Hogwarts. , those hidden locations and secret passages are their key inspection targets, and the Room of Requirement is the focus. Even the elite Ministry of Magic couldn’t find clues from there, and I don’t think we can.”
Hearing this, Ron muttered unconvincedly, but stopped talking after being glared at by Hermione.
On the other side, Harry also thought about it and said:
“What you said makes sense. The only possible location is the Ravenclaw lounge. So I will go and take a look tonight as planned.”
“Wrong!” Hermione blinked and said, “It’s not you, it’s us!”
“You…you also want to go with me?”
Harry said in disbelief, but what answered him were two bright smiling faces.
