Chapter 400 Chapter 400
According to the order of grades from low to high, Zhao Mai was the last one to conduct branch office. He sat on the stool and Professor Dumbledore placed the hat on his head. After more than a minute, there was no movement.
Zhao Mai looked up with his eyes slanted, and then shouted: "Hey Dumbledore, it turns out that you didn't put me on the wood carving. I thought the branch style was over."
It twisted its body and lifted the brim of the hat, bent down to check it out, and then said: "It turned out to be an old child. He was able to use brain closure to protect his mind perfectly. He actually deceived me, why didn't he? He was so talented, and if he entered Slytherin, he would have a great future."
Just when Barbara thought Slytherin was going to win more Academy Cup victories, the Sorting Hat changed the subject: "But you are too smart to deceive me. The Slytherin boys will be bullied by you. I have to ask, do you have any ideas?"
"Me?" Zhao Mai glanced at Ador at Hufflepuff Academy: "It would be best if you could go there."
"I understand, Ravenclaw! I wish you a happy life there!" Zhao Mai was surprised by the answer from the Sorting Hat.
Dumbledore pulled the school hat and put it aside: "Although it's not Gryffindor, Ravenclaw is also a good place, a college for smart people."
Zhao Mai looked at the branch hat in confusion, and it actually squeezed his eyes at him. What does this mean? With all kinds of conjectures, Zhao Mai walked towards the long table of Ravenclaw College, and Barbara had already shaken Suzy's pull and jumped onto the table and shouted loudly: "Mike! Mike! Mike!" Ravenclaw's squad leader Barry Hall reached out to Zhao Mai, and welcomed him while introducing everyone to him.
The sound was very noisy. Zhao Mai finally sat down, but found himself sitting opposite Barbara. If this French girl with freckles on her face had not been desperately stopped by the little girl wearing glasses, she might have crawled over from the table to celebrate. The one who finally stopped her crazy behavior was Principal Dippet. He began to speak to welcome the arrival of the new students, and even more welcomed the only cram school in history to join Hogwarts, and then announced the start of the welcome banquet. The golden plate and silver cup were immediately filled with food. Zhao Mai's eyes turned over the food and everyone, looking at Hufflepuff Academy. Ado was warmly welcomed there, and everyone piled delicious food on his plate and talked and laughed with him from time to time. After seeing this scene, he felt relieved. Although Xiaohua and Ado were with him, he was still worried about the bullying of the simple Ado.
"Why don't you eat?" The ghost opposite looked at Zhao Mai and said in a gentle voice. It was a tall and dignified "female" ghost wearing an old-style long skirt, sitting on a long bench straightened. There was a faint blood stain on her chest, and even if she became a ghost, she could still be seen. This was the ghost of Ravenclaw Academy.
"I met Ms. Gray again." Zhao Mai nodded slightly, "I was assigned to this academy."
"The school hat is still very sensible. Your talent is not as dazzling as your grades, but your intelligence and diligence are." Ms. Gray said: "It is a blessing to have a student like you. I hope you can help Ravenclaw College win back the Academy Cup, or at least not let Slytherin's blood Barrow win again. I don't like how he was dedicated to me with the trophy."
"I will work hard." Zhao Mai said to the ghost: "If there is a ghost coming to harass you, I am willing to help you solve it."
"No need. Let Barrow continue to suffer from regret and regret. The torture began when he killed me." After Ms. Gray said that, she left piaoply.
"Mike, what does she mean? Barrow killed Ms. Gray?" Barbara walked around the table, squeezed away, and sat next to Zhao Mai. "I've been in Ravenclaw for more than three years and have never heard of this before!"
"It's in "Hogwarts School History"! Bloodman Barrow killed Helena Ravenclaw, who he had been pursuing in the forbidden forest, whom he had been struggling to fail, Ms. Gray." Susie frowned tightly and said to Barbara through the table: "Come back quickly, you're so rude!"
"It's okay, Mike won't care." Barbara waved her hand and told her good friend not to be so worried. "I didn't expect that Bloodman Barrow was a murderer! Every time I see the dark red blood on his body, I'm scared. So that's the case. Why did a murderer be the ghost of Slytherin?"
"He not only killed Ms. Gray, but also killed himself." Zhao Mai squeezed out some gaps for Barbara so that she could sit more comfortably. "I think his existence is to warn Slytherin's students that any means will harm others and themselves?"
"That's great!" Barbara plucked her palms hard, Suzy was speechless, lowering her head to eat with a somewhat ashamed expression. "Mac, you'll fight for the Academy Cup for us, right?"
"If you have the chance, I will help." The Academy Cup is more of an honor. Within a year of winning, the entire Academy logo will be decorated with patterns, which will look extraordinary and unique. Then, when you seize the training of the Quidditch Stadium, use the Potions classroom and the magic spell practice room, the library has priority when borrowing, and in other aspects, there are no more affordable rewards.
Everyone shared the food together, and then shared their stories through cakes and desserts. The freshmen in the first grade met the "eighth grade senior" and thought that Hogwarts had changed the system and had to study for eight years before graduation. They were extremely nervous. However, after knowing the whole story, everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere returned to relax and happy.
Lavenclaw's dormitory is located in the west tower of the castle. After climbing to the top, you will see a shiny old wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it. Only by answering the questions raised by the door knocker can you enter the lounge behind the door. It is said that people from other academys cannot answer the questions raised by Eagle Gate, and Zhao Mai is deeply suspicious. If Adu comes over, his answers are all "Adu". Is it correct or not? How to deal with the universal spell that even the wand recognizes? I guess this question can make Eagle Gate collapse?
After passing the Eagle Door, there is a communal lounge, which is a large circular room with ethereal decoration. Blue silk hanging between the arched windows and the ceiling is decorated with bronze patterns. These two colors are also the main colors of Ravenclaw, representing the colors of the sky and eagle feathers. New students such as Zhao Mai have their own clothes and accessories, such as blue and bronze scarves, and a crossbody bag for each person to hold books and teaching aids.
The ceiling of the lounge is decorated with stars, and the dark blue carpet below is also decorated with stars. When the correct mantra is recited, the stars here will move, showing the current astronomical state. The work of chanting mantras every day belongs to the class monitor, but every student of Lavenclaw will try to cast this mantra and then watch the changes of the stars.
