Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Finally, midnight came.

The Harry trio gathered at the door of the Gryffindor lounge after a long absence, preparing to head to Ravenclaw Tower.

As in the past, the three of them were still nestled in Harry's death cloak.

It’s just that when it comes to the experience of use, it is far worse than before. After all, they have grown up now. Although the cloak of death itself is relatively large, it is still somewhat difficult to completely cover the three of them.

Fortunately, the three of Harry's adaptability are relatively strong, and the death cloak also has a certain extension ability after awakening, so after practicing for a while, the three of them barely achieved the effect of full concealment.

After finally arriving at the door of the Ravenclaw lounge, looking at the gleaming door and the eagle-head knocker on it, the three of Harry stopped again.

Among them, Ron's expression was a bit ugly.

After spending these days with Ravenclaw students, he was impressed by the door in front of him.

According to them, this gate has so many protective spells condensed on it that anyone who is malicious towards Ravenclaw cannot pass through this gate, even if you answer the question for the eagle head knocker.

This made Ron a little nervous.

However, Hermione didn't care so much. Under Ron's terrified eyes, she stepped forward and knocked on the eagle's door knocker.

"What are the three main points of the release of the Illusory Body Charm?"

The icy voice of the eagle head knocker rang out, Hermione raised her brows and said directly:

"Calm, decisive and steady."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

Ron swallowed and looked at Hermione with a look of disbelief, while the latter gave him a blank look and said:

"I know there's a lot of protection spells on the door, but those are for people outside the school, and it's basically useless for us Hogwarts students."

Ron's expression was still a little puzzled, while Harry looked thoughtful.

He knew very well that although Hogwarts was resolutely opposed to the student night tour on the surface, in fact it was adhering to an attitude of acquiescence or a willingness to see it happen.

As a professional night traveler, he couldn't be more aware of this.

Judging from the current situation, although the Ravenclaw lounge has strengthened the overall security protection, its attitude towards the student night tour has not changed.

Otherwise, let alone them, even Ravenclaw's own students want to go out at night.

Thinking so, the three finally walked into the door.

Compared with the daytime, the Ravenclaw lounge at night looks very deserted, with no one.

Through the faint moonlight coming in through the arched windows, Harry could clearly see the huge dark shadows reflected by the rows of bookshelves, which together made the atmosphere of the entire lounge a bit gloomy.

Despite this, the three Harry gritted their teeth and started the search.

The library area in front was simply ignored by them.

Thinking with your heels, you know that the entrance to the Masonic Secret Realm must be in a certain location that Ravenclaw originally had. It is impossible for places like the library area that were later extended with the Traceless Stretching Charm. There is a secret entrance.

After bypassing the library area, the first thing that caught their attention was the statue of Lady Ravenclaw lying across the library area and the rest area.

This statue is already familiar to Harry. To be honest, this statue does not match the current Ravenclaw lounge. It is too small.

But perhaps because it is an antique, it still stands where it was originally and has not been replaced.

This fits perfectly with Harry and Hermione's assumptions about the location of the Rift's entrance.

So, Hermione stepped up first and started to inspect the statue.

This is not an easy task, knowing that this check is achieved by means of a magic spell called Prudential Observation.

This kind of enchantment is generally used in alchemy. It can quickly detect the residual magic power on the observed object, so as to achieve the effect of speeding up the enchanting progress and clearing the magic power pollution.

Hermione's move undoubtedly treated the statue of Lady Ravenclaw as an alchemy item.

However, Hermione observed there for a long time and found nothing.

The statue was so clean, Hermione couldn't find any magic residue at all.

This is very unreasonable, because normal general items will have a little magic power remaining, and there are only two possibilities to achieve the situation on this Lady Ravenclaw statue.

One is that wizards regularly clean up the magic pollution on the statue every day, and the other is that the statue is attached with a magic spell to block protective spells such as observation.

Hermione personally thinks the latter is more likely.

However, although they saw that something was wrong with the statue, Hermione and others finally gave up their investigation of the statue temporarily.

After all, they have so much work to do today that they have to rule out other dubious options first.

So Hermione took aim at other things that agreed with the conditions, like the fireplace, the half-arched windows, and even the sofa chair that Mike often sat on.

It's a pity that Hermione has checked all these things and still can't find any clues about the entrance to the secret realm, which makes her very frustrated.

After all, this was what she had volunteered to help with, but nothing happened.

Seeing this, Harry quickly patted her shoulder and comforted:

"You've done a great job, thank you."

Hermione shook her head in disappointment, apparently not satisfied with her expression.

However, just when Harry was about to continue comforting, Ron suddenly covered the mouths of the two of them and made a 'shhhhhh' sound at the same time.

Seeing this, Hermione and Harry hurriedly shut their mouths, and began to turn their heads nervously to observe the surrounding scene.

As soon as Harry turned his head, he saw a faint blue figure unknowingly appeared in Ravenclaw's lounge, wandering in the library area ahead.

That was Ravenclaw's ghost, Lady Grey.

At this time, Ms. Gray seemed to be in a very good mood. She kept floating back and forth in the huge bookshelves, or she stretched out her hand and slowly stroked the dense books.

What's even more rare is that there is still a smile on Ms. Gray's face.

This is a rare sight to be seen in ten thousand years. You must know that Ms. Gray has another nickname - the sad ghost.

The reason why she has such a nickname is entirely because of her melancholy temperament and her face that is always filled with sadness.

Harry held his breath reflexively, shrinking to keep himself from being discovered.

But soon, his movements froze. Worry-Free Chinese

Because he suddenly had an idea.

As Ravenclaw's ancient ghost, will Lady Grey have any clues about the entrance to the Rift?

He did it as soon as he thought of it, without the slightest hesitation, Harry took off the cloak of death directly under the anxious eyes of Hermione and the others, and started walking towards Lady Grey.

At this time, Ms. Gray was already at the bar. She touched the exquisite alchemy coffee machine for a while, and the various beverages on the shelves for a while, her eyes full of longing and relief.

As one of the original Ravenclaw students, despite being at odds with her mother, the great being who founded Ravenclaw, she still has feelings for Ravenclaw.

So she is also very happy about Ravenclaw's current situation.

Harry's sudden appearance startled him, and she screamed almost instinctively, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

The expression on his face also became annoyed.

It was so embarrassing to be found out in such a narcissistic moment.

"Who are you? Why don't you rest so late? I'm going to tell Flitwick!"

Madam Gray spoke in anger, but Harry continued to walk forward as if he didn't hear him, and a wand appeared silently in her hand.

"Call God Guard!"

Along with Harry's low voice, an elk flashing a faint sacred light suddenly swooped out of its wand and threw Ms. Gray to the ground neatly.

At this moment, Ms. Gray finally understood that the little wizard in front of her was not a good person.

She wanted to shout and remind others to be careful, but under the suppression of the patron saint, she was in a state of weakness, and even the strength to shout loudly was all deprived.

This is the repressive power of the higher guardian deity on ghosts!

Both Hermione and Ron were stunned by this scene, and they quickly lifted the death cloak and caught up with Harry in front.

"Harry! What are you doing? That's Lady Grey!"

Hermione lowered her voice and said anxiously, but Harry didn't answer. He just gave her a reassuring look and pulled a bright silver cross pendant from his neck.

This is also a mystery, and Harry named it the Holy Cross.

Its role is very simple, that is, to cause damage to the existence of spiritual bodies.

Harry stole it from an abandoned church.

Without the slightest pause, Harry directly held the Holy Cross and pasted it towards Lady Grey.

As the cross approached, the expression on Ms. Gray's face changed visibly, from anger to fear.

The change caught Hermione's attention, and she frowned without questioning:

"Harry! What are you doing? She looks miserable!"

"It's just a little trick." Harry said in a low voice. "Don't worry, she'll be fine."

After saying that, Harry stopped and placed the cross in front of Ms. Gray before putting it away and asked:

"I ask, you answer, do you understand?"

The Elk, Harry's patron saint, raised his body slightly, which made Lady Grey regain some strength.

At this moment, her body was still trembling, and the pain caused by the cross just now made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

"Okay... okay."

Ms. Gray's trembling answer made Harry nodded, he looked at each other, and said word by word:

"Do you have anything to tell us about the hidden entrance to the Ravenclaw lounge?"

"Secret... secret realm? What is that?"

Hearing this, Harry was stunned for a moment, and he quickly realized that the other party couldn't understand what he said, so he continued:

"If that's the case, do you know if McTominay did anything weird in this lounge during school?"

"Mike Tonley? Your goal is Mike Tonley? That excellent little wizard?" Ms. Gray's voice increased several gears in an instant, "You want to be unfavorable to him? Stop dreaming, I won't... ah !"

Lady Grey's words were interrupted by screams as Harry pressed the Holy Cross directly to Lady Grey's arm.

A squeak of barbecue was instantly heard along with a rising blue smoke. Under the action of the Holy Cross, Ms. Gray's originally illusory body began to become more and more transparent.

Fortunately, Mike didn't mean to destroy Ms. Gray, and after a while, he took the cross back.

At this time, Ms. Gray was paralyzed on the ground, and her body was still twitching for a while.

Upon seeing this, Harry asked the question again, and this time, Ms. Gray said almost without hesitation:

"I know! I know! That was years ago, McTominay, that little wizard once said a spell on the statue of Lady Ravenclaw, and he disappeared!"

Harry's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask:

"That spell is so?"

"I...I forgot. I'm sorry, woohoo! Please don't torture me again!"

Facing the crying Madam Gray, Harry's expression was very ugly. He gritted his teeth and took out the Holy Cross and said:

"I see that you don't cry without seeing the coffin!"

However, just as he was about to continue teaching Ms. Gray a lesson, a cold hand grabbed his arm.

"Harry, stop it! She's not lying, the ghosts only remember what happened before they were alive. And what they saw after they died, they usually gradually forget, so Ms. Grey may really not remember!"

Hearing this, Harry paused for a while, and at this time Ron also leaned over and said with some doubts:

"What's wrong with you, Harry? How could you treat Lady Grey like this? You weren't like this before!"

Looking at the horrified expressions of Hermione and Ron, Harry couldn't help turning his head away, and said with some guilty conscience:

"I...I don't know, I just...I'm just a little excited."

After saying that, he shook off Hermione's hand, quickly took out the forgotten flashlight from his pocket, aimed it at Ms. Gray and pressed the button.

With the flickering of a faint blue light beam, the painful expression on Ms. Gray's face quickly subsided, replaced by a demented look on her face.

This strange scene startled Hermione, and Ron stepped back several steps in horror, fearing that he would be accidentally hit by the unknown light.

What they didn't know was that Harry was really struggling to decide whether to give them both a shot at this time.
