From Azkaban To Hogwarts

The bandage used by William to fix the prisoner was easily untied by Dumbledore. The unconscious Ginny was picked up by Mrs. Weasley, and a bunch of red hair quickly left William's office in a lively manner.

Although everyone present was full of curiosity about the crown, Dumbledore kept staring at it in silence, which quickly made the atmosphere in the office tense.

"Severus, what do you think of that memory?"

Dumbledore, who was observing carefully, suddenly asked, breaking the heaviness in the office.

"I don't see anything wrong with it, Dumbledore. Those memories are too confusing and fragmented. No one can identify them."

Professor Snape did not use his usual disdainful tone at this moment - to be precise, Professor Snape's tone at this moment was full of curiosity.

"Can you put the crown with me? Dumbledore, I'm curious as to what kind of transformation can make such a big change in a legendary prop."

"Don't even think about it!"

In the past, Professor Flitwick's shrill voice was several times sharper than before. The kind old professor glared at Professor Snape, as if you dare to touch this crown, come today. Dueling expression.

However, William can completely understand that this is the first time that a college with a millennium heritage has encountered a Ravenclaw relic. As the dean, Professor Flitwick would put it on the desk of Dean Slytherin without using the graduated alumni. Letter, Professor Flitwick himself could hang it in his office.

However, Dumbledore did not respond to Professor Snape's suggestion. Instead, he gently asked someone whom William could not even imagine: "Ms. Grey, although the notes of all previous principals have reminded successors not to harass you at will. , but today I have to take the liberty of interrupting—this diadem, is it really the property of Lady Ravenclaw herself?"

No harassment is allowed - is this Ms. Gray a Ravenclaw maid or something?

"Is there any such rule?"

The ghost lady, who had been careless since she came in, finally cheered up. She floated towards Dumbledore and stared at him firmly.

"Yes, of course," Dumbledore responded with a gentle look. "This is clearly recorded in the notes of all previous principals."

"If that's the case, then my answer is-" The proud ghost raised his head and glanced at the crown, "Yes, that's it. Although I don't know why it appears here, there is no doubt that, This is the crown I stole back then.”

The crown I stole!

This sentence sounded like a thunder in William's ears - what do you mean the crown I stole?

How come you, like that Mengton, don’t want to do things that involve people? Is stealing an honorable thing?

This breaking news not only shocked William, but also everyone present - including Dumbledore.

This was the first time William saw the surprised expression of the white-bearded principal. His glasses were a little crooked, as if he had heard some horror story.

"Ms. Grey, you stole the diadem? Lady Ravenclaw's diadem?"

Professor Flitwick's shrill voice filled the entire office again. Obviously, as the headmaster of Ravenclaw, this was the first time that he had heard such big news about his own college.

This tone of accusation and complaint irritated the ghost.

"Don't talk to me in that tone," Ms. Gray's tone was full of excitement, "That's my mother's crown, it should have been passed down to me!"

The new melon was too big, and William was completely dumbfounded.

"Mother?"

Professor Flitwick's voice once again silenced everyone.

"Of course," Ms. Gray's voice was a little stiff - she seemed to realize that she had revealed a lot of things that she should not say, "Of course, my mother, when I was alive, my name was Helena Ravenclaw."

William couldn't help but turn his attention to Professor Flitwick - although I know that Hogwarts has been a school for thousands of years and has a long history and continuous inheritance, but it is too much to say that even the ghosts of your Ravenclaw house are from the time when the school was founded.

He was hit by a series of big melons and now he has no ability to think. Anyway, there are many tall people in the room, so let them think.

"I think I understand," the principal adjusted his slightly crooked glasses and looked at Helena. "So, Ms. Grey, where did you hide the crown before? The school castle?"

"Of course not, in a forest in Albania, but it's obviously of no use," Helena glanced at the crown on the table and responded angrily, "It appeared in this castle again."

"So, have you told anyone where it's hidden?"

Even in front of Dumbledore, the ghost still showed contempt - "Which generation of students doesn't covet the legendary crown? They don't know anything, but they try to ask me about the crown..."

The ghost shook his head slightly, "It's true that the crown will give them extraordinary wisdom, but those stupid students only want to get good grades with the crown..."

This is a stupid thing that students often do - William, who had barely digested part of the melon, could finally receive the message normally.

If the daughter of Ravenclaw came to the castle after her death, her proud tone would be completely understandable - this is not because of her noble birth or anything, but because of generations of ancestors of everyone present. This ghost may have seen the embarrassing things in their youth, including Dumbledore...

'Hey, this is a good way to find out gossip. Maybe there are some precious spells buried by history. I really should go to the Halloween party that the fat monk arranged for me, even if the rooster incident has already happened. solved. ’

William was thinking this way, and frantically warned himself not to pry - 'God knows which ghost has seen the embarrassing things about Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall, if I find out, then how can I hang out in the castle! ’

"You keep laughing, new liar professor, what are you laughing at?"

When William was distracted, the ghost named Helena began to shout angrily.

The new liar professor? Which one--William was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the whole place.

Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Lady Grey—and himself.

There is no doubt that the new professor is him.

"I?"

William made a confused sound.

"Who else, you've been laughing from the beginning! You're laughing at me, right?"

She quickly rushed to William, then pointed her finger at William, "You are laughing at me!"

"No no!"

William shook his head quickly, he would not bear the blame.

"It's another lie. You've been lying since the beginning of school, and you're still lying now!"

ps: There is still half of the next chapter and it will be very late. It is recommended not to wait.
