I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

It was a statue carved from an unknown material. It exuded a gentle pale white light when illuminated by the light.

The entire statue is about fifteen feet (about four and a half meters), which is not very tall, and is even shorter than the one in the alcove in the Ravenclaw common room.

However, in Sean's eyes, Rowena Ravenclaw seemed to come alive. The statue had a reassuring aura, and the light of wisdom and knowledge spread freely.

Ravenclaw has a teasing smile on her face. She is beautiful, intellectual, elegant, but also intimidating.

But if you really look at her eyes carefully, you will find the tolerance and kindness in the eyes of this Big Four.

It was like really seeing the stunningly talented witch from thousands of years ago.

"Incredible..." Sean murmured softly.

Then, he walked up to the statue, caressed his chest and saluted.

This was the respect he should have for the founder of Ravenclaw.

"But, is this considered Ravenclaw's secret room, the place where the power she holds is hidden..." Raising his head, Sean looked around.

According to the explanation given by Slytherin, the authority of Hogwarts was divided into four, and each of the four giants controlled a part. They hid it from each other and used it as a test for those who came after - of course, this was also their fight.

Slytherin has clearly said that the power of Ravenclaw lies in the castle. Sean has doubted the Room of Requirement more than once, and now, he finally found the original state of the Room of Requirement.

So the question is, what can I do if I enter here? Also, does Ravenclaw's authority lie here?

Sean circled the Ravenclaw statue twice. The runes, parchment and quills would slowly spread out to make way for him when he approached, and when he walked by, they would float back and follow the instructions. The original trajectory wraps around.

"It's nothing special... I thought finding a way to enter the original state of the Room of Requirement would be a Ravenclaw test..." Sean muttered.

He stopped at the front of the statue, eyeing the Ravenclaw curiously.

This statue is magical. Ravenclaw is always looking forward, but no matter which direction you look at it, you always feel that Ravenclaw is watching you.

"Is there any other riddle to open the mechanism..." Sean raised his chin and started thinking.

After a moment, he cleared his throat and said softly: "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wisdom of mankind."

Ravenclaw's famous saying is regarded as a life creed by the eaglets.

As soon as the words fell, in Sean's surprised eyes, the Ravenclaw statue trembled slightly.

The statue was rising slowly, and the discs on the soles of her feet rippled.

Soon, there was a base under the statue, which was made of the same material as the statue. The edge of the base had slight water ripples, and a long carved river coiled at the bottom.

This... represents the origin of Ravenclaw?

The beautiful Ravenclaw comes from the peaceful riverside - this is what the Sorting Hat said, because Ravenclaw was born on the riverside in Scotland.

As Sean was thinking, the long river rotated quietly, and a gentle yet majestic ethereal female voice sounded in the space.

"Here you come, my child."

Sean was surprised and wanted to find the source of the sound, but the sound seemed to be right in his ear. The most important thing was... the sound seemed exactly the same as the door knocker!

The voice continued: "My name is Rowena Ravenclaw, and this is an area I created through the magic of Hogwarts itself, called Response to Requirements."

"I won't go into details about the history of Hogwarts. Your coming here has proven that you know enough about this magical castle. What I want to tell you is the authority of Hogwarts."

This is indeed it!

Sean perked up his ears and listened.

"After building the castle, the four of us..."

Ravenclaw told the story about the origins of authority at Hogwarts, much like what Sean had heard from Slytherin. However, the voice here was different from the memory left by Slytherin. Ravenclaw's voice seemed to be just recorded and played back with a magic spell, and she basically did not mention any private matters related to her.

How should I put it? There is very little subjectivity. It just tells you the situation back then in a straightforward manner.

"...After listening to this, you should also understand, yes, this is where I, Ravenclaw's authority lies. And only the smartest wizards are qualified to obtain Ravenclaw's treasures. You already have it. You have this qualification - being able to enter here has proven your wisdom."

"Before that, I will give you a choice."

choose? Sean raised his eyebrows.

Rowena Ravenclaw's multiple-choice question, this is probably part of the test, right?

"Choose and tell me your answer. This is the reward a wise man deserves..."

award?

As the sound fell, the light surrounding the Ravenclaw statue trembled slightly, and the bright stars on the ceiling were shaken down.

The starlight first circled around the Ravenclaw statue, and then enveloped Sean.

An indescribable sense of clarity emerged from Sean's mind.

He felt that his head suddenly relaxed, and the confusion about some magic spells accumulated in his mind was also solved, and new ideas continued to emerge.

Unfortunately, the starlight only enveloped it for a moment, and then it gathered in front of the statue, forming a row of words from top to bottom.

This refreshing effect alone is worth the trip. Now I have come up with several ideas for creating my own spells... Sean looked at the departing stars with some regret, thinking that if it could last longer It'll be fine in a while.

However, regrets are regrets, and choices still need to be made. Sean looked at those words.

Beauty, spirit, magic, hope, words, imagination, energy…

A total of thirty words.

Ravenclaw's voice rang again: "Make your choice, child, this is the reward that a wise man deserves."

It seems that this is asking me to choose a trait, and Ravenclaw will give corresponding types of rewards... Sean began to think deeply.

Beauty? I'm handsome enough... But according to Ravenclaw's character, she might give me a charm of eternal youth or something?

Spirit? It may be some way to enhance the wizard's mental power. After all, high mental power can support more thinking and learning processes.

magic? It might be a rough way to increase my magic power, or it might be a way to teach me how to control my magic power more accurately.

hope? Maybe it's a buff spell that can enhance the wizard's mental state? Or something like the Patronus Charm.

Words, imagination, energy…

The long list of words gave Sean a toothache.

It is foreseeable that the things Ravenclaw gave will definitely not be bad, or in other words, the things she gave may be the inventory in the Room of Requirement - but it is the kind of inventory that normal visitors cannot find.

Of course, Sean also has to face a dilemma, that is, Ravenclaw's talent is undoubted, but after all, so many years have passed...

What if the selected reward is something that I have already learned or obtained?

For example, [Peeping], Sean suspected that if he chose this word, Ravenclaw would give him a method of learning Legilimency - this is indeed a rare and difficult to learn magic. The problem is that he has Slytherin. All the Legilimency notes...

Other options may also face this situation.

At this time, Ravenclaw's voice urged again.

"Make your choice, child. This is the reward a wise man deserves."

Does she want me to analyze the deeper meanings of these words, or simply let me pick one that suits me?

Probably because he has dealt with Dumbledore and Grindelwald too much, Sean now looks at everyone like the Riddler. He also knows that this can easily complicate things, but he is more afraid of choosing something he already has. Cause blood loss.

"Can I want them all?" Sean asked with a hint of hope.

There was no other response, the Ravenclaw's voice continued to urge calmly and rhythmically.

"well……"

It took Sean a long time, and nothing changed except for the constant urging sound.

He scratched his head regretfully, and finally sighed silently.

He still couldn't make a choice, just like the starlight that just helped him clarify his thoughts and inspire his thoughts, it could only last for a short while.

There are always regrets.

Ravenclaw's voice urged again.

When he finished speaking, Sean sighed silently, he had made his decision.

Just choose...

Before he could speak or make any movement, the statue suddenly moved.

The hands that were originally folded at the waist unfolded like a living person.

Ravenclaw made a gesture of hugging.

"Greedy arrival, countless treasures are right in front of you, but you ignore my request and do not make the choices you deserve..."

Sean took a half step back warily and raised his wand.

No, no, it’s only an hour. You urge me once a minute and I don’t get angry. Can’t you understand the difficulty of choosing?

Although I did get a little greedy...

Just as Sean tensed his body, Ravenclaw suddenly let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"so good……"

Sean: "...Huh?"

Ravenclaw was still speaking: "When I left these words, I thought about who would use extraordinary wisdom to find this place? The shrewd and ambitious Slytherin, the brave and courageous character A Llanffindor, a loyal, generous and just Hufflepuff, or, from my house, a wise but never-satisfied Ravenclaw."

"You have proven your greed, and greed is an indispensable part of our pursuit of deeper and richer knowledge. The thirst for knowledge is what Ravenclaw should do."

"I'm very happy, even if I was as dull as water when I left this voice - but I must tell the people who hear this voice, I am convinced that you are a qualified Ravenclaw."

"Greedy seeker, you deserve this and you should bear it..."

The starlight dispersed in front of Sean's eyes, and directly in front of the statue, a circular platform gradually rose up.

It was a brand with complex and obscure symbols engraved on it, and in the center was a giant eagle soaring into the sky.

"Standing on top of the brand, using runes to cast your own magic, and blending with the magic of the brand, you will be completely recognized by Ravenclaw, and you will completely gain a quarter of the authority of Hogwarts. "

This is really a test, not a reward for you... Sean was stunned.

No, maybe after you choose a trait, Ravenclaw will indeed give you corresponding rewards, but you won't see this brand representing authority.

Sean smiled unconsciously. It seemed that Ravenclaw had planned all of this.

First, there is the starlight package, which gives you sweetness but also makes you feel regret. Then there are a lot of choices and the urging every minute. If someone really comes here, it is likely that they will choose one in a short time.

Then he missed out on this brand.

Indeed, only wizards with Ravenclaw qualities will always stand here - eaglets are thirsty for knowledge, and they are greedy enough.

This is Ravenclaw's little secret. She hopes that the person who gets this authority is a student of her own college.

Sean didn't know if he was mistaken or if he really met Ravenclaw's requirements, but the mark representing a quarter of Hogwarts' power had clearly appeared in front of him.

only……

The corners of Sean's eyes twitched twice.

We need to use ancient runes to release magic...

This is like having a huge treasure box in front of me, and I even told myself the password, but - I can't see the numbers on it clearly with my presbyopia, and I can't enter the password...

"Merlin, sir..." Sean let out a long sigh.

He tried to stand on it and cast a little magic, then quickly stepped back.

During this time, Sean has been asking Thelma to help him learn ancient runes, and the results can only be said to be... easy to cry.

Except for the great effect after the Sigh of the Ancient One cooled down, I really can't learn it well at ordinary times.

He wanted to blend with the magic power of this brand, but his current rune attainments were not enough.

He cannot hold a quarter of the power of Hogwarts in his hands for the time being.

"Fuck..." Sean couldn't help but curse.

When the Sigh of the Ancient One cools down again, he may have a chance of success if he tries here again, but don't think about it now...

However, just when he was depressed, Ravenclaw's voice sounded again.

"If you encounter difficulties, go find my crown, it can help you. In addition, you have obtained my recognition, I will open part of the authority to you, and then wait for your return - the extremely wise Raven What Crow is best at is solving problems, isn't he?"

As he finished speaking, a comet streaked across the ceiling detached from the ceiling and penetrated straight into Sean's body.

"This is..." Sean raised his hand in surprise.

As his thoughts flowed, the originally translucent door on the wall disappeared.

It seems like... I can enter and exit all spaces in the Room of Requirement at will, and look through the things here at will...
