Ravenclaw and the Room of Requirement

"Me?" the Young Wizard Xiwen asked, puzzled.

Helena nodded and said, "I need you to concentrate and keep these words in your mind—'the room Ravenclaw left for Helena' —and walk past this section of the wall three times."

The Young Wizard Xiwen opened his eyes wide and looked at Helena in surprise.

"Did you understand?" Helena ignored his surprised expression and continued to ask.

"I understand." Xiwen suppressed his surprise for the time being and walked towards the wall opposite the tapestry.

He kept repeating the phrase "the room Ravenclaw left for Helena" in his mind and walked back and forth in front of this wall three times.

Then, a very delicate and smooth door suddenly appeared on the wall!

"There's actually a hidden door here?" Professor Slughorn walked to the door in surprise and examined it carefully from head to toe.

"Wait, the magic system is already paralyzed, so how did this door appear out of thin air?" Professor Birley suddenly thought of this question and asked.

Helena wore a faint smile as she gazed at the door with a mixture of complex emotions and nostalgia. She said softly, "I was never really worried that this castle would become a completely magical building, because the fourth Magic Node is right behind this door, created by my mother herself."

"She was the most skilled in alchemy and Magical Theory among the four Founders. The Magic Node she left behind could not be discovered by Lore and Angulo in their entire lives. As long as this fourth Magic Node exists, the Room of Requirement can function normally."

"So this place Room of Requirement '?" Dumbledore interest.

Helena nodded and said, "Yes, of course I know that many young wizards who have discovered this place over the years like to call it the Room of Requirement."

She floated to the door of the Room of Requirement, but hesitated and dared not enter.

Seeing this, the Ghost Xiwen floated to her side, took her hand, and wanted to give her some warmth and strength.

Then, without saying a Young Wizard Xiwen pushed open the door...

The room was filled with blue and bronze tones, very similar to the theme colors of the Ravenclaw Tower, but with an added touch of elegance and nobility.

The room was lined with rows of bookshelves, filled with books of all kinds.

Facing the main entrance is a tall, elegant bronze chair with a pure white marble statue reclining on its armrest. The statue's face is beautiful yet somewhat stern, exactly like the marble statue in the Ravenclaw Common Room!

As soon as Helena entered the Room of Requirement, the marble statue suddenly raised its head!

"Helena, my daughter. You have finally come to see me!" The statue of Rowena Ravenclaw raised its head and gazed at Helena's face, its marble lips moving to utter a soft and melodious sound.

Seeing Rowena Ravenclaw's glances at him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ghost Xiwen felt a pang of anxiety and instinctively tried to let go of Helena's hand, but Helena held on tightly.

"Mom..." Helena bit her lip tightly, her voice trembling slightly.

"Helena, shall we catch up a little later?" Rowena Ravenclaw said softly to Helena.

She then turned to Headmaster Dippet and asked, "You're the Headmaster of Hogwarts this year, aren't you?"

Headmaster Dippet stared in disbelief at the Ravenclaw statue, exclaiming in astonishment, "The Grey Lady, is it really you?"

Professor Merrythought, the headmaster of Ravenclaw House, was also extremely excited. Despite her advanced age, she looked at the Ravenclaw statue like a little fangirl, her face flushed.

Ravenclaw smiled and nodded, saying, "I already sense the current state of the castle. The information you need is on the third bookshelf on my left, the last book on the third shelf. It details the construction and maintenance methods of Hogwarts Castle."

The professors went over and pulled out the book, which indeed contained detailed information about the exact location of the castle's Magic Node and how to repair them, much to their delight.

After Ravenclaw saw that they had obtained the book, he said to the wizards present, "Now that you have what you need, you should go about your own business. Could you give Helena and me some time alone?"

The professors naturally wanted to chat a bit more with this original Hogwarts legend, but they also knew that many young wizards inside the castle were anxiously waiting for it to be restored to its original state, the Grey Lady also wanted to spend time alone with her daughter.

So, they reluctantly left the Room of Requirement and began to study the methods for repairing the Magic Node recorded in the book.

The Young Wizard Xiwen naturally followed along. Although his meager magic and shallow magical knowledge meant he couldn't be of much help to the professors, he was happy to see more unique things.

Ghost Xiwen gave Helena a reassuring look and tried to float out of the room with the others, but was stopped by the Grey Lady.

"Mr. Ghost, could you please stay a while?" she said.

Ghost Xiwen paused, then was pulled back to his original spot by Helena.

"Um... The Grey Lady, if you two want to be alone, is it appropriate for me to stay here?" Xiwen said somewhat awkwardly.

"I just want to know, what exactly is your relationship now?" The Grey Lady looked at Helena and the Ghost Xiwen's clasped hands and teased with a half-smile. "Are you going to have an epic love affair with my daughter that spans a thousand years?"

Xiwen's face was filled with black lines; he felt so embarrassed he wanted to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes. However, he couldn't, because he was just a ghost and couldn't pry the ground open...

"I think our relationship might not be quite what you think..." Xiwen said.

"We are soulmates!" Helena interrupted Xiwen with certainty and said to the Grey Lady.

"Ah, yes. Soulmates, that's right!" Xiwen nodded quickly in agreement.

They're definitely soulmates! One is a ghost without a physical body, only a soul, while the other is simply a Soul Body from another world; the two can only be "soulmates."

The Grey Lady smiled and shook her head, saying, "You don't need to be nervous. As someone who has long since disappeared into history, and as a mother who failed in her responsibilities, I have no right to stop my daughter from pursuing her own happiness."
