Back before the wall where the Room of Requirement was located, The Grey Lady's figure trembled slightly.
Facing the wall, she drifted back and forth, as though both expressing her unease and gathering the courage to face her mother.
From their earlier conversation, Harry had roughly guessed that The Grey Lady had made some kind of mistake. It was only natural for her to be so unsettled now.
Just like his cousin Dudley—before going home after doing something wrong, he would act just as nervously.
Vizet noticed The Grey Lady's unusual state as well and said gently, "The Grey Lady, Ravenclaw's greatest wish is simply to see you again. Everything else truly isn't that important."
"I understand..." The Grey Lady nodded, finally steadying herself before the wall instead of drifting back and forth.
Vizet raised his Wand, and the Obscurus Core pumped out Ancient Magic Power.
Ancient Magic Power flowed from the tip of his Wand, and the wall seemed to be washed over, revealing an exquisitely carved door.
The door stirred The Grey Lady's memories, drawing a sob from her. "It's still... still the same..."
Before Vizet could wave his Wand to open the door, it opened on its own.
What was more, Rowena Ravenclaw had already come to the doorway, her gaze falling on The Grey Lady. "Helena, you're back!"
The Grey Lady's figure shook even more violently as she choked out, "Mother!"
She rushed toward Rowena Ravenclaw, only to stop herself abruptly, as though afraid that the chill unique to a ghost would harm the mother who had come to welcome her.
Rowena Ravenclaw took a step forward of her own and lifted her hands, loosely embracing The Grey Lady. "I'm here! Helena, my Helena! I'm here!"
Seeing this scene, Harry suddenly felt as though he understood.
