"Oh, Headmaster!" Ted had not expected to run into someone the moment he came out. He really had not expected this.
He remembered Ravenclaw saying in the chamber that she would "temporarily borrow the Headmaster's authority." No wonder it had alarmed the Headmaster. Lady Ravenclaw, you left in far too much of a hurry—and left behind a huge mess!
Ted's mind raced, and then he decided to confess leniently—within limits, of course.
"Good evening, Headmaster. I hope you're not here to catch me wandering around at night," Ted said.
Dumbledore smiled and adjusted his crescent-shaped glasses. "That depends on your explanation~ Though punishments for wandering at night during the holidays aren't that severe... All right, I'm joking."
Ted shrugged, looking as though he had been thoroughly frightened.
"It all started several months ago..."
Since he had decided to "confess," he naturally held nothing back.
Ted almost started with Pangu splitting open heaven and earth, a fragment of the Great Dao falling into Ancient Celtic, and being picked up by a boy named Merlin...

"By chance, while meditating before bed, my consciousness spread beyond my body, and I discovered something unusual inside Lady Ravenclaw's statue in our Common Room..."
"Tonight, we finally awakened the lingering thoughts Lady Ravenclaw had left within the statue. Then she brought us here, saying this was a research room she had left behind when she built the school..."
"That's what she said. Helena has finally found the courage to move on and has gone to another world. Lady Ravenclaw left this research room to me."
Ted made sure to assert his ownership at the end.
Ted: That's a strong claim!
