Study Days at Hogwarts

“What is the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end?”

After the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker asked a question, it fell silent again, as if waiting for the person being asked to answer the question.

Albert frowned, and after repeating the riddle of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker to himself, he complained: "I hate guessing riddles."

At the critical moment, the way was actually blocked by a riddle, which made Albert feel uncomfortable all over.

Albert knew that he might not be able to guess the answer, at least not yet.

It's actually very easy to crack this level. You just need to understand all the riddles. The content of the questions asked by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker will inevitably be repeated.

After all, Ravenclaw students cannot all be smart and wise geniuses. They can answer questions because they already know the answers from others.

Knowledge is for people to learn.

When someone cannot answer the question posed by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker, they can only wait for others to answer it, so that they can learn the knowledge they do not understand.

Those who are not Ravenclaw students naturally do not have the opportunity to learn the answer to passing the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker from other senior students, and naturally cannot pass this simple barrier.

Even if you are a genius, it is not easy to figure out the answer immediately if you have never been exposed to similar riddles.

Albert never considered himself a genius, so he didn't expect to be able to answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker immediately.

Do you really want to use the Disillusionment Charm to squat at the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room and eavesdrop on the riddles and answers on the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker?

It's so ridiculous!

Even if I get some riddles and answers from Ravenclaw students, the riddles will definitely be changed the next time I come.

"It's really nerve-wracking!" Albert said to himself.

He had given up answering the question on the eagle-shaped bronze knocker for now, unless it happened to ask about the phoenix and fire.

But the chances of this are slim.

Albert wrote down the riddle, got up and left the Room of Requirement. Anyway, I already know how to get in, so I can wait until next time to answer the question about the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.

After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert went directly to the library.

"Where did you go just now?" Fred raised his head and asked, "I heard from others that as soon as you stepped into the library, you turned around and left."

"Suddenly I remembered something." Albert sat down in the empty seat occupied by Li Jordan and Fred.

"What's the matter?" Fred asked again.

Albert took out his notebook and turned to the riddle page to show Fred.

"What?" Li Qiaodan also leaned his head over and was stunned when he saw the contents of the notebook.

"Riddle, can you guess the answer?" Albert asked several people.

"How free do you have to be!" Li Qiaodan retracted his head and continued to work on his holiday homework. Obviously, he couldn't guess what the answer was.

George came over with the same curiosity. He just glanced at it and continued to do his holiday homework.

This guy always likes to study weird things.

The three of them lamented that their roommate's balls hurt. They had this kind of free time to think about the answers to the riddles, so they might as well do more questions.

By the way, the novel app I’m using recently, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app\\\\], is supported by Android and Apple phones!

Albert didn't expect many people to help him solve the problem and began to read the content of the riddle carefully.

"What is the beginning of eternity? What is the end of time? What is the end of space? What is the beginning of every end?"

"There should be one thing in common between them."

Albert thought carefully and wrote down the information he analyzed on a piece of paper.

First of all, that thing must be eternal and related to time and space?

"time"

If time is eternal, then the moment when time begins is the beginning of eternity, and the last moment of a period of time is the end of that period, isn't it?

is the beginning of every end

If time is divided into periods of time and connected together, then each end is the beginning of another period?

But... what the hell is the end of space?

Could it be referring to the four-dimensional space?

People have speculated that the fourth dimension refers to time.

Okay, it seems to be barely adequate.

What a ghost!

Albert didn't think this was the answer to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. He even doubted whether the wizard knew what four-dimensional space was.

Even wizards far surpass Muggles in the study of time.

So...this definitely can't be the right answer...which means...

"Is it possible that I have fallen into a misunderstanding?" Albert asked, staring at the riddle.

"The answer here is not to stand for something, but to refer to what eternity, time, space, and end have in common."

What eternity, time, space, and the end have in common

Albert's fingers crossed the eternal word, read it softly, and then froze.

eternal

At this moment, Albert suddenly felt that he knew the answer to the riddle. The word for time was time, the word for space was place, and the word for end was end.

So...the answer to the eagle-shaped bronze door is actually e?

Is it a common alphabet riddle in the UK?

Albert looked at the e on the small book and felt that this was more in line with the answer to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker than the moment.

"It seems that I'm not too stupid. At least I guessed the answer."

"Are you going out of your way to mock us?"

Hearing Albert's words, Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes at him.

If you are still called stupid, then who are we?

Troll?

"Why don't you do your holiday homework?" Angelina looked away from the parchment and couldn't help but ask.

"Albert is enjoying the joy of solving the riddle!" Li Jordan asked sideways, "What is the answer?"

"The letter e."

"Where did you get the riddle?" Angelina glanced at the content of the riddle and muttered, "It doesn't seem to be very difficult."

"You've just heard the answer, so it's not difficult." Li Qiaodan looked at Angelina speechlessly. He had just read the riddle and didn't think about it at all.

"You don't want to challenge Ravenclaw's Eagle Ring Riddle, do you?" Aria looked at Albert suspiciously and continued, "It is said that a Ravenclaw student once challenged the Eagle Ring Riddle and answered correctly. A hundred or so."

"That's a good idea." Albert nodded, "I'll try it another day when I have time."

"I'm curious about how the Ravenclaw students will react when they find out." George raised his head and said, "Whenever you go, remember to call me."

"How many answers would it be good to have?"

"We have confidence in you," Fred and George said together. "We believe you are smarter than any Ravenclaw student."

I don't have any confidence myself. Where did you two get your confidence?

Albert glanced at the prompt on the task panel, and a new task appeared:
