Apart from their respective colors, the most iconic representatives of the four houses of Hogwarts are the ghosts of the four houses.
Such as Slytherin's Bloody Barrow.
Nearly Headless Nick from Gryffindor.
The fat monk of Hufflepuff.
Lady Gray of Ravenclaw.
These ghosts have existed at Hogwarts for hundreds of years.
In addition, the more ancient ghost is Professor Binns, a professor of the history of magic.
John, who has taken all thirteen courses, has the freedom to study various subjects anywhere.
He went to History of Magic. Although this course was boring, many people chose it.
This is also the only course that does not require magic. It only requires you to have enough memory, and you can get a certificate here.
So this is a very popular course.
John's arrival was also surprising, after all, he had never appeared here before.
After class, John found Professor Binns.
The ancient wizard was so focused on teaching that he even forgot about his own death.
In fact, John was quite curious whether Hogwarts would pay ghosts.
In terms of qualifications, there are probably only four people who can be higher than Professor Binns.
"Professor Binns." John found Professor Binns and asked, "I want to ask about Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff."
"Ah, Wick."
When Professor Binns saw John, he still had the same breathy and drawl tone.
At the same time, John is one of the few people in his coaching career whose name he can remember.
Even Hermione's name he misremembered.
Because his mind is recording history, and John will be recorded in history.
"Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, what do you want to know?"
John asked: "Among the four founders, Slytherin and Gryffindor both left the Chamber of Secrets. I want to know if the other two did the same?"
"Sorry Wick, I don't know about the secret rooms of these two founders." Professor Binns said, "But Ravenclaw is a smart lady. She once said that knowledge should not be eliminated. Some special She will secretly hide the knowledge."
Professor Binns shook his head, "As for where it is hidden, no one knows."
"With her intelligence, she can make it impossible for anyone to find her if she wants to."
John smiled and said, "But in that case, the knowledge left behind will be useless."
"That makes sense." Professor Binns nodded.
Inheritance requires someone to find it.
The inheritance left by the Big Four corresponds to the attributes that each of them values.
Gryffindor values brave and adventurous wizards, so he will hide the Chamber of Secrets in the Room of Requirement, and only wizards who like adventure can find that room.
Slytherin values ambition and bloodline, so his secret chamber can only be opened by Parseltongue.
Ravenclaw values wisdom, and her Chamber of Secrets should be about wisdom.
John touched his chin, guessing where the secret room would be.
Professor Binns said to himself: "Hufflepuff is also smart, but I don't think she will leave the Chamber of Secrets."
"Because she treats all students equally and maintains love for all students."
Compared with the distinctive personalities of the previous three, Hufflepuff seems to be mediocre.
But such people are the most respected.
Even Professor Binns felt that she would not leave a secret room to hide anything. She was the most generous and kind-hearted person he had ever seen.
Everything about Hufflepuff is dedicated to Hogwarts.
John smiled bitterly when he heard this. There was no clue about Hufflepuff at all.
It seems that we have to search for Ravenclaw's secret room first.
Saying goodbye to Professor Binns, John headed to Ravenclaw Tower.
Like Gryffindor, Ravenclaw lives in a high tower.
"John.
"Luna's voice sounded.
John stopped and saw Luna wearing the exaggerated three-piece shell.
Next to her, a curved-horned Snorlax as big as a large hound's teeth was piercing a bunch of dragon fruit with its horn.
"It's amazing how fast it grows."
John stopped and smiled: "You didn't go to class, Luna?"
Luna seemed to have come out of a trance. She said, "I don't have classes in the morning. What are you looking for?"
She is already in sixth grade and has a lot of free time after rearranging her classes.
She participated in the Battle of Hogwarts, during which Luna was barely injured.
The amulets John gave her were all made in Luna's style, so she almost always wore them.
"Your intuition is always accurate." Before John said what he was doing, Luna guessed that he was looking for something. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "You always know what I'm thinking."
Luna tilted her head, "Thanks for the compliment."
John smiled and raised his hand. Thinking that Luna was not the little girl before, he stopped touching his head.
He said, "I'm looking for Lady Gray of Ravenclaw, if you know where she is."
"She likes to read in the library area." Luna's ethereal voice sounded like a song, "In the common room."
"Well, it seems I need you to take me there."
John stepped out of the way, bowed to Luna and said with a smile, "Miss Lovegood."
Luna raised her head happily and strode forward.
...
Ravenclaw tower.
Each hospital has different methods of entering the lounge.
Ravenclaw's is a door with a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle.
It was actually John's first time here.
Ravenclaw's entry method is the most unique among the four houses. This may be because Ravenclaw likes smart people.
To get inside, you need to answer the question of the bronze door knocker, and only if it makes sense can you enter.
John was eager to try: "Let me try."
Luna took a step back when she saw this, and John stepped forward.
Seeing someone coming, the bronze door knocker spoke.
"Which came first, the phoenix or the fire?"
Phoenix and fire?
He recalled the books he had read, but it seemed that the answer between the two was not mentioned.
John's expression froze and he coughed twice, "Do you have any other questions?"
"What is the nature of human beings?"
"How to prove that the world was not born in five minutes?"
"Tossing a Galleons, is it more likely to go up or down?"
"What were you thinking about before you were born?"
"..."
John remained silent and took a step back silently.
He began to believe in the Sorting Hat. There was no standard answer to these questions.
What is the nature of human beings?
Is it a repeater?
You have to make the bronze door knocker feel reasonable.
"Luna, I don't think I'm suitable for Ravenclaw." John felt a touch of sadness.
Luna said, "You're just obsessed with the real answer, John."
John was stunned.
Luna stepped forward.
The bronze door knocker began to ask: "Where did the disappeared things go?"
Luna said: "Maybe it was stolen by Owl Hook."
The bronze door knocker paused and said, "It makes sense."
The door opened.
John stayed outside.
When he heard the question just now, he thought of the disappearing spell, and subconsciously recalled the books he had seen, searching for answers from them.
But Luna's answer was wild and wild.
Some things have no answers, like this question.
And practice
The rigor of the gold master made John pursue the truth too much.
"I guess I have to thank you, Luna."
John, who figured it out, smiled with relief and thanked Luna: "How can I repay you?"
"We are friends, John," Luna said to John. "Ms. Gray likes to read there."
Ravenclaw has a book section, which also fits their smart-people feel.
In the library area, a tall female ghost was reading a book.
The body of the ghost is like a faint smoke, and Ms. Gray has a cold beauty, reading the knowledge in the book dignifiedly and solemnly.
John came to the table and called softly, "I hope I didn't disturb you, ma'am."
Ms. Gray raised her head slightly and glanced at John, with an unhappy look on her face.
Last time, John sent a flower to Bloody Barrow. Unfortunately, this annoyed Ms. Gray.
So when he saw John again, the Ravenclaw ghost didn't take kindly to it.
John didn't mind too much, and said gentlemanly: "If possible, I hope to get some time alone with you, and I want to ask questions about Ravenclaw."
Ms. Gray looked up quickly, anger in her eyes.
"You want to be like him?"
John raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Him?"
"Tom Riddle!" Ms. Gray was furious.
"Then you can rest assured," John smiled, "he has been killed by me."
