Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 154: Ravenclaw Fortune
PS: Warmly celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the motherland, and wish everyone a happy holiday.
"Come in, the door is open."
Professor Broad's voice is heard from the office.
Albert's hand that was about to knock on the door froze in the air, and Isobel, who was beside him, glanced at him, stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door into the office.
"You resigned?"
After Albert entered, he found that this was no longer the Defence Against the Dark Arts office he was familiar with. Several large bookshelves along the walls had been emptied, and the expensive wool rugs and silk curtains had disappeared. The desk was completely empty, and there was a leather suitcase.
"I resigned and will leave today." Professor Broad pointed to the sofa and motioned for a few people to sit down and talk.
A few days ago, he was almost attacked by an eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest, which made Brod feel that the threat of the curse was approaching him, so the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts simply submitted a letter of resignation to Dumbledore. He didn't want to get hurt by that **** curse, or lose his life somehow.
Albert naturally knows the reason for Professor Broad's early resignation. The position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed. It is the wisest choice to take the initiative to resign before he is injured.
"It's good to resign," said Albert. "It was wise to leave before the curse came to you."
"Shut up Anderson." Katrina couldn't help staring at Albert.
"No no, I actually agree with Mr. Anderson." Professor Broad raised his hand to reassure Katrina and said with a smile, "The curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts has always existed, and I didn't come to teach here to think be wounded, or die of a curse."
Katrina was utterly stunned, she could hardly believe Uncle Bud would say such a thing.
"But...if you resign, what about the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" The girl still expressed her doubts.
"What I am able to teach you, has already been taught to you in previous courses, and the rest of the semester is devoted to review and final exams." Professor Broad continued, "This time before the exams For a while, Dumbledore will hire someone to do the lessons."
"Could it be Snape?" Albert frowned slightly. Although Snape was an expert in the field of black magic, Albert really didn't like that guy.
"It's Professor Snape," Professor Broad corrected.
"Okay, Professor Snape." Albert remembered another thing, "What about Mr. McDougall's Advanced Rune Studies Part III manuscript?"
"Oh, you said that, it's temporarily postponed." Professor Broad's understatement seemed to be saying what to eat for lunch today.
"Postponed?"
Albert was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect to get such an answer.
"Yes, postponed." Professor Broad looked at Albert, "The last part of the rest seems to have encountered some bottlenecks, and Mog decided to postpone the third part."
Speaking, Professor Broad brought the suitcase, took out a file bag and handed it to Albert, "You are also an expert in Rune, Mog thinks you will be interested in it too, after reading it If you have any ideas, please write to him."
"I see." Albert nodded, getting up wisely and preparing to leave. He could see that Professor Broad had something to say to Sister McDougall.
Isobel gets up and follows the door.
"You don't have to send it to me." Albert quipped looking at Isobel.
The next second, the wooden door in front of Albert slammed shut.
"What a guy with no sense of humor." Albert looked at the closed wooden door, shook his head, and turned to leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts office. He was about to go to the library, finish the few remaining vacation homework, and come to study what Professor Broad gave him.
"The guy is finally gone," Katrina grumbled.
However, Uncle Mog seems to be very optimistic about him.
Thinking of this, the girl felt a little depressed, and the feeling of being crushed in all directions was really bad.
"From the beginning, you chose the wrong target." Isobel sat back on the sofa, reached out and touched Katrina's head and reminded, "That is a true genius, destined to leave with countless halos. School, if you compete with him, you will find yourself uncomfortable."
Katrina is a little dissatisfied. Is the gap really that big?
"Albert is very good." Professor Broad smiled. "He is the most talented wizard I have ever met."
"Yes, it's just a bit of a bad taste." Thinking of what Albert did, Isabel shook his head.
"Ravenclaw students are eccentric," Professor Broad said, "and geniuses are often out of step with the rest of the world."
Isobel's face twitched, she thought Albert's bad taste had nothing to do with him being a genius.
"Uncle Bud, Albert Anderson is in Gryffindor, not Ravenclaw," Katrina reminded.
"Oh, of course I do."
"Do you have anything to do with us?" Isobel brought the topic back.
"This is an item your father left with me." Professor Broad took out an exquisite wooden box with intricate patterns on it from the suitcase.
"Can't open." Katrina tried it and found that the wooden box could not be opened.
"It is protected by magic and cannot be opened by ordinary means."
Professor Broad drew out his wand, touched the wooden box, chanted a series of strange spells, and said to Sister McDougall, "Put your hand on the box and it will open."
Katrina and Isobel put their hands on the box and heard a faint click, and the wooden box opened automatically, revealing the items inside.
A letter, and... a key.
"Is this my father's relic?" Katrina picked up the key and looked up and down in confusion. She remembered that her father died in a magical experiment when they were very young.
Isobel picked up the letter, opened it, and began to read its contents.
The content of the letter is very simple, introducing the key and the relic left to the sister.
That is the key to Gringotts. The items in the treasury are not Galleons, but the archives and records of that magic experiment.
"Why did my father give that to us?" Isobel looked at Professor Broad, puzzled. "Does he want us to continue his research?"
"No, after his death, Mog sorted out some of the relics. He believed that these things were the inheritance left to you by your father, so... he sealed up the original research materials." Professor Broad told the two The person explains the source of the key.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Bud, but we don't want those things." Isobel declined decisively.
After all, it was the magic experiment that cost them their father, and Isobel instinctively rejected these things. But she also understood what Uncle Mog meant.
With Isobel's talent, I can continue to study and complete the magic experiment in the future, which is why Professor Broad gave things to the two sisters.
"I can understand." Professor Broad nodded, "If you don't want it, I'll take care of it myself."
"Isobel." Katrina was dissatisfied that her sister didn't ask her opinion, so she simply refused.
Isobel didn't care too much about his sister's dissatisfaction, and asked, "Who are you going to give it to? Anderson?"
"Anderson is a good candidate." Professor Broad thought for a while and said, "So would Rowena."
"Rowena Smith?" Isobel frowned slightly, also a little-known wizard who was a friend of his father's and was said to have worked together.
"Can't you just listen to me?" Katrina protested disapprovingly.
"Your opinion?" Isobel looked at her sister, "I don't want you to make a so-called choice because of anger."
"I'm not a child, how could I do that." Katrina couldn't help protesting, "Since it was left to us by my father, I think we should keep it instead of giving it up, maybe... maybe I can also continue my father's magical research in the future."
There is an eerie silence in the office.
"Okay!" Isobel bowed slightly to Professor Broad, "We'll take the stuff, thank you, Uncle Bud."
"You're welcome," Professor Broad said.
……
Albert, who had just lifted his foot into the library, suddenly stopped, turned and left under the stunned gaze of others.
Albert was flipping through his notebook just now, and happened to turn to the page of the prediction of Ravenclaw's secret treasure, and was ready to try his luck at the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
He headed straight to the eighth-floor corridor, casting a Disillusionment Charm on himself in a secluded spot along the way to avoid being found wandering near the tapestry where silly Barnabas taught trolls to dance ballet.
Arriving at the entrance to the Room of Requirement, Albert closed his eyes and thought intently: Enter Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure... Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure... Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure.
Walking through that place three times, Albert immediately opened his eyes and looked at the entrance to the Room of Requirement, and there was still an ordinary white wall in front of him.
"Failed?" Albert murmured, looking at the plain white wall in front of him, "My way of expressing it is wrong...or maybe that room isn't called Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure."
Albert took out his pen from his pocket, recorded the attempt just now in a small notebook, then closed his eyes again, concentrated his mind, and continued to walk.
I need Ravenclaw's Vault...I need Ravenclaw's Vault...I need to enter Ravenclaw's Vault.
After walking three times, Albert opens his eyes again.
The door appears!
"Success!"
Albert felt that his heartbeat could not help speeding up a few beats. After looking left and right to make sure that there was no one around, he quickly pushed the door and walked into the Room of Requirement.
The inside of the door is indeed a secret room, a windowless, narrow secret room.
Albert is greeted by a wooden table, an armchair, and... a vertical panel of Ravenclaw eagles hanging on the wall in front of him.
Other than that, nothing...clean and annoying.
Albert stepped forward and lifted the vertical banner with the Ravenclaw eagle painted on it, looked at the solid wall, and muttered: "Well, it is indeed the 'Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets', count you Ruthless!"
"Not the Chamber of Secrets, then..."
Albert left the Room of Requirement, looked at the fading door, frowned again, and strode up.
I need you to become Ravenclaw's Vault... Ravenclaw's Vault... Ravenclaw's Vault.
Albert reopened his eyes to find the door reappeared.
When Albert walked into Ravenclaw's treasure trove, he found that it was a bit like the treasure trove he entered last time. It was filled with items hidden by former Ravenclaw students, such as old books, Newspapers, boots, worn out brooms, old robes...
A treasure trove? Are you sure this isn't a place for rubbish? Or, is the House of Requirement misunderstanding the "treasure house"?
The corners of Albert's mouth twitched. He knew that he had failed, so he didn't try to search, but obediently quit this so-called Ravenclaw treasure trove.
After failing three times, Albert is a little discouraged and doubts that Ravenclaw's secret treasure is really in the Room of Requirement.
If Ravenclaw's Secret Treasure is really here, why isn't there a quest associated with it?
Just as Albert was about to leave, he noticed that a new quest suddenly popped up on his quest panel.
Find Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge.
You're acutely aware of where Ravenclaw's legacy lies, so why not try to gain access to Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge?
Reward: Unknown.
Another unknown reward.
However, is Ravenclaw's treasury called a knowledge treasury?
That's an appropriate name.
However, when Albert tried to enter the treasure house of knowledge, he still failed.
Albert was a little stunned for a moment, this can still fail, the mission prompt is fake!
The next time, Albert continued to try ~IndoMTL.com~ what Ravenclaw's room, what Ravenclaw's private library.
Well, the private library was successfully entered. It is a round room with only a round table and an armchair. The surrounding walls are all covered with curved bookshelves, and the skylight above the head has The sun was shining, but... the mission was not completed.
So, this is not a so-called treasure house of knowledge at all.
If a library isn't a repository of knowledge, what is?
Albert was immediately confused. He sat in the armchair, raised his feet on the table, and thought about the way to enter the treasure house of knowledge.
"Could it be that my guess was wrong from the beginning?" Albert sighed lightly. Since the panel quest can be activated, it means that Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge is in the room of responsiveness.
Perhaps, he should go to a Ravenclaw student and ask if there are any Ravenclaw legends.
As Albert was about to leave the Room of Requirement, he happened to catch a glimpse of an old wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker next to the famous Ravenclaw quote: Extraordinary ingenuity is human greatest wealth.
Could it be that only Ravenclaw students can find the so-called treasure trove of knowledge?
Albert suddenly remembered something, Ravenclaw's eagle-shaped bronze door knocker:
When you knock on the door, the Eagle Ring will ask you questions.
If you answer correctly, you will be admitted.
For the past thousand years, no one but Ravenclaw students has been able to pass this simple barrier.
Albert walked over to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, raised his hand and tapped lightly on the wooden board twice.
The next moment, something unexpected happened, and the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker in front of him actually asked a question.
