Time: 12 midnight, Room of Requirement.

The House-elf Jack respectfully accepted these items, comparable to Ravenclaw's Diadem, from Ryan.

About two or three minutes later, as Jack passed through the dimensional barrier and reappeared in front of Ryan drew his wand, and a piece of parchment appeared in front of Jack. It was a map. "Alright, this dimensional barrier will last for one night. This is a map I just looked at and quickly made."

"The items marked in red are the things you need to bring back to the castle."

"But I think you'll need this too—" Ryan raised his wand and waved it in the air. A streak of light, like molten silver, drew from the tip of the wand. At first, it had no shape, but then the streak twisted and turned into a Winky glove, as bright as moonlight. It flew down on its own and slipped onto Jack's slender hand.

"Finally, remember not to touch anything I've marked with a skull or crossbones with any part of your body other than your hands. They're red too, but very dangerous. Once you've taken them, just put them in my study and don't touch them again," Ryan warned before disappearing from the spot.

He wasn't actually very worried about Jack's safety, because there was a supreme god on the other side of the dimensional barrier.

It will arrange everything; that glove was just a sudden idea.

"However, this Ravenclaw's Diadem is quite interesting." In the Ravenclaw Common Room, next to the Ravenclaw statue, Ryan's figure slowly took shape.

Surprisingly, even in the dead of night when no one was around, Lady Grey stood there, just as Nicholas had said.

However, Ryan's passivity kept Lady Grey completely unaware of him.

"Seriously, if I were any more wicked, with my abilities, all the beautiful young witches at Hogwarts would probably have to take maternity leave." Ryan stroked his chin, sizing up the beautiful ghost.

Shining with silver light, the stunningly beautiful Lady Grey stared blankly at the sculpture of her mother.

Under the moonlight, those once captivating eyes now radiated a heartbreaking sorrow.

It makes you want to possess it and get close to it.

Even Ryan couldn't quite control himself and silently recited the sixteen-character mantra.

After enjoying himself in the mental space and re-entering the sage mode, in the next second in the real world, Ryan shifted his attention back to the Ravenclaw's Diadem.

The principle behind this Ravenclaw's Diadem, which itself brings Wisdom, is truly fascinating.

It doesn't actually make people smarter, nor is it an external library as some wizards have speculated, and it certainly doesn't make people stronger.

Ryan finally understood why Lady Grey, or rather Helena Ravenclaw, was unwilling to go back.

Believing that the Ravenclaw's Diadem would bring her Wisdom, she stole her mother's treasure, but the final discovery made her feel like a fool, a good-for-nothing with nothing but a pretty face.

This was a huge blow to Helena, who believed she was the next Ravenclaw.

Her overly high goals and her own ordinariness shattered her self-confidence.

Her mother had always been reluctant to bestow Ravenclaw's Diadem upon her, fearing that she would be unable to accept the blow when she woke up from her dream.

The Ravenclaw's Diadem's ability is actually quite simple; it's just a headdress that relaxes the mind and clears away distracting thoughts.

For Ryan, even if he lost the ability to "think," putting his pet Hamster Wheel PhD in his pocket would have the same effect.

It's like a chicken rib – tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

Thinking of this, Ryan couldn't help but look at Lady Grey had a vulnerable expression.

This gave Ryan another idea.

However, all of this will have to wait until tomorrow.

This could also add more burden to Harry Potter.

The next morning at 7 a. m., Harry woke up early, and the bright sunlight shone through the bed curtains onto Harry face.

The warm breeze, like a lover's hand, playfully caressed a few strands of hair on his forehead, and also brought the scent of the grass and trees outside Hogwarts.

Harry looked out the window and saw a figure hovering back and forth on a flying broomstick in a lush green meadow by the Black Lake.

The others in the dormitory, still fast asleep, seemed to give Harry a bit of courage.

He climbed to the bedside and pulled a telescope from the bag Draco's father had given him.

This is Omnioculars, a gift from a fan last Christmas, specifically designed for use during large Quidditch Match. It can replay footage, in slow motion, and, if needed, quickly display match analysis.

Harry looked around to make sure everyone else was still asleep.

He curiously peered out the window through his binoculars.

She was a lovely girl with long, glossy black hair!

"Hmm, her eyelashes are so long, and her eyes seem to be talking! That's amazing! She's Ravenclaw! She's using Comet 260!" Harry couldn't help but imagine himself right now, riding Nimbus 2001 and flying right up to her.

"She must really like Quidditch. If she sees Nimbus 2000, will she let me join her? Even with a broom! — And I'm Harry Potter! She's so skilled; maybe her parents are wizards. Hagrid once said, 'Every little wizard in the wizarding world grows up hearing my name.'" But the next second, Harry couldn't help but vehemently reject the thought.

She must be a kind and unique little witch who isn't swayed by her fame.

Not to mention that just because you own a Nimbus 2001, you can't just stick it on yourself!

She's a Ravenclaw!

Harry continued watching the girl flying through the sky as he pondered this.

At that moment, Harry was so grateful that he had an Omnioculars.

This way, he can keep replaying the exciting scenes and slowly see everything about the girl!

Etc!

That's the Tornadoes's badge!

Black hair!

Ravenclaw!

Is she Cho Chang?

The girl that Jonny praised but never appeared before him!

Hermione knows her!

Maybe we're still friends!

In no time at all, aren't they friends too?

As Harry was thinking about Cho Chang and how to meet her, Harry inexplicably thought of Ravenclaw's Diadem.

They had speculated that this was what Hagrid had taken from Vault 713.

Hermione had even introduced him to her.

That was a lost treasure of Ravenclaw, which could increase a wizard's Wisdom.

If, if he could find that Ravenclaw's Diadem, would Cho Chang, as Ravenclaw, also fall in love with him?

Perhaps he could find a better, less awkward way to approach Cho Chang by wearing that Ravenclaw's Diadem.

Then Harry remembered something else: Nearly Headless Nick had said that Lady Grey had been looking at Lady Ravenclaw's statue in the common room recently.

An essay once mentioned that Lady Grey was Ravenclaw's daughter.

Could the Ravenclaw's Diadem on the Ravenclaw statue be the long-lost treasure?

No one else noticed it; could it be that it only appears at fixed times?

At other times, it is just a stone sculpture.

Does Lady Grey's reaction mean that the Ravenclaw's Diadem has appeared?
