Harry Potter Raven's Claw

Yesterday's conversation with Bloody Barrow made Mike understand a lot of things.

First of all, there must be some kind of strange mark on his body, which allows Ms. Gray to perceive him from a long distance. At the same time, the two old ghosts, Ms. Gray and Bloody Barrow, are very afraid of this mark.

Mike initially guessed that this mark was the raven claw marks on his face that were usually not visible at all. In addition, Mike really couldn't figure out what other strange things were on his body.

But if the thing that scares Barrow so much is really the claw mark, then what is he afraid of? And what is the devil that Barrow is talking about?

What did Barrow mean when he said that he killed Helena not because he hated her, but to save her?

After experiencing the last incident, Bloody Barrow is now hiding in hiding like Ms. Gray.

In desperation, Mike could only change his investigation in another direction, that is, to find out the true identity of the girl in the dream.

With questions like these, Mike plunged into the Hogwarts library from the second day and began to look up all the history of Hogwarts since its establishment.

Fortunately, Hogwarts, as the most famous magic school in Europe, has a part of the responsibility of recording history. Therefore, there are many books about the history of the wizarding world in the rich collection of Hogwarts books, including

The history of Hogwarts is best documented.

So when Mike searched the Hogwarts student directory according to the range of 1870-1890, he easily found a suspect, Miriam Ravi.

The reason why Mike thought she was the person he wanted to find was because there were two words written in dazzling dark red ink behind her name: Missing.

After asking Professor Flitwick, he determined that the missing Ravi was the girl who had appeared in his dream.

Flitwick: "I have some impression of the Miriam you mentioned. Although I was not a professor at Hogwarts at that time, I was already a member of Raven's Nest. That Miriam was

She has a great reputation because she is the person who has persisted the longest in the initiation test in the past hundred years. I remember that she was only 15 years old when she joined the association. The elders of Raven's Nest are very optimistic about her, but it is a pity..."

When Mike finished questioning Flitwick and continued to look through the Hogwarts directory, he also discovered a terrifying fact that made his hair stand on end.

The disappearance and death rate among Ravenclaw girls is alarmingly high.

Since 1200 AD, words such as missing and dead have often appeared in the Ravenclaw chapter of the Hogwarts student directory, and most of these people are women.

This is actually not surprising. After all, the wizarding world at that time was still relatively chaotic. The probability of young wizards dying was very high. Other colleges also had many records of disappearances and deaths at that time.

But the further you scroll through the microphone, the more you can see something is wrong. The student mortality rate in other colleges has been steadily declining year by year. Only Ravenclaw is different. The mortality rate of female students in Ravenclaw College over the years has not only been

There is no decline, but an upward trend. At its most serious, it has even reached the point where several people die a year.

This reminded Mike of the demon that Bloody Barrow once mentioned. Is there really a demon hiding in the Hogwarts campus that has been devouring the lives of young girls for thousands of years?

However, this is not all the anomalies in the list. According to the records in the list, the last Ravenclaw girl confirmed to be dead was named Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, who was the female ghost hiding in the girls' bathroom in the original book.

.

Since the death of Myrtle, there has been no record of an unexplained death or disappearance of a girl in Hogwarts. The cause of Myrtle's death was very clear to Mike. She was killed by Voldemort using a basilisk, so

Strictly speaking, she was not the last girl to die in the hands of the "devil".

The real last deceased person should be Sheila Clinton, a fifth-year Ravenclaw student who died in 1935.

After Sheila Clinton died, the "devil" disappeared as if it had been killed, which made Mike very confused.

Because according to his previous speculation, the raven claw marks should be the symbol of the "devil". Now that the raven claw marks appear on his face, it means that the "devil" has not disappeared, but dozens of years since 1935

There have been no more victims in the past year. What is the reason?

Mike sat on a bench in the library and stared blankly forward, thinking about the reason in his heart.

Two Slytherin freshmen walked past Mike talking and laughing. While they were talking and laughing, they were holding a small flag in their hands. This was specially made by the Slytherin students for their Quidditch team.

The magic flag is made of green cloth. The Slytherin emblem is painted on both sides of the flag. A silver-white python spits out letters and swims on a shield. From time to time, the shield will flip over.

Come over and reveal the text on the back: Go Slytherin.

Only then did Mike remember that he had been investigating this matter for almost a month, the Hogwarts Quidditch League had begun, and today was the day when Slytherin played against Hufflepuff.

I have to say that these flags are very delicately made. The silver-white pythons painted on them even made a biting motion towards Mike when the two Slytherin freshmen passed by him.

When Mike looked at the ferocious white snake in front of him, a thunderbolt flashed through his mind, and a name emerged, Tom Riddle.

The excited Mike quickly flipped through the Hogwarts student directory again, and laughed when he saw a name on it.

From 1938 to 1945, Tom Riddle studied at Hogwarts-Slytherin House.

Now everything became clear, Tom Riddle was Voldemort's original name, and since Voldemort entered the school, the "demon" in Ravenclaw disappeared, until he reappeared in his body today.

So what is the connection between Voldemort and Ravenclaw?

The answer is very simple, it is the crown!

When Voldemort was at school, he learned the location of the diadem through Lady Grey, so he took out the diadem hidden in the Albanian forest and made it into his own Horcrux, and then hid the diadem in the Room of Requirement.

The diadem must have a very close relationship with that demon, so the demon stopped hunting Ravenclaw girls only after Voldemort made the diadem into a Horcrux.

"No loud noises in the library!"

Mike's loud laughter not only attracted the attention of the surrounding little wizards, but also attracted Mrs. Pince.

Mike, on the other hand, rushed out of the library without even looking at Mrs. Pince.
