The Goddess Ravenclaw

For a while afterward, everyone was talking about the Death Eaters and Ravenclaw's Ring.

Ten years have passed since the You-Know-Who disappeared.

The Death Eaters either infiltrated Azkaban or went into hiding, so their open appearance at Hogwarts undoubtedly caused great panic.

The Eagle-shaped bronze knocker has been the subject of much speculation and legend.

Although many people don't know why such a large door knocker, which could easily fit around the neck, is called Ravenclaw's Ring, it doesn't stop it from becoming famous.

Everyone believes this door knocker possesses immense power; otherwise, how could it have resurrected the You-Know-Who?

Dumbledore replaced the Ravenclaw Common Room with a new one, almost identical in style to the previous one.

Unfortunately, the door knocker no longer emitted the voice of "Sister Zhiling," but instead a cold, mechanical tone.

This made all the young Ravenclaw wizards feel uncomfortable.

There were no more large groups of people gathered around the door knocker to answer questions. The saddest person was probably the Prefect, Robert.

His fondness for door knockers is well-known.

If he hadn't been eating in the lobby on the day of the incident, his current distressed appearance wouldn't seem fake, and everyone would definitely suspect that he stole the door knocker.

Robert is already in seventh grade and will be leaving in a few more months; he definitely has this motive.

Robert, completely oblivious to the rumors, rallied and spent his days with red eyes, pacing around the wooden door, trying to find the Death Eaters had stolen his things.

William had obtained the Marauder's Map and no longer cared who had attacked Snape's medicine storage room; instead, he began to study the Death Eaters.

But this was of no use; there were too many people at the school, and William couldn't possibly know everyone. To him, most of them were unfamiliar names.

The twin brothers were extremely frustrated; if they had used the Marauder's Map, they would definitely have found that person.

In the library, several people sat at a table, writing their assignments.

"William, have you finished your homework?" George asked.

He has just finished creating the answer key for the second-grade homework, using resources from Cedric.

William nodded and handed over a stack of parchment. Fred took it and began to use magic to make a copy.

They have stabilized the trade in reference answers.

After each subject teacher assigns homework, the answer key is quickly provided and circulated.

They have students from all grades!

The group was having a great time making money, and the young wizards were having a great time copying. However, William felt that the quality of students in these recent classes probably wouldn't be very good.

They're nothing but parasites trying to undermine Hogwarts!

Although I felt guilty, I still took the money; why not take it if I can?

This trade has not yet been discovered by the professors.

William and his companions were extremely careful; they never sold the goods themselves. Instead, they forged an identity and sent the owl away from Hogsmeade.

Similarly, there have been no reports of complaints yet.

Cedric emerged from between the bookshelves, looking extremely annoyed.

"Several copies of ' Hogwarts: Hogwarts, A History ' have been borrowed." He sat down next to William and Cho.

"The line to borrow it is already open until after Easter. Sigh, William, you shouldn't have left your copy at home."

William shrugged and said, "There is indeed a record of the Ravenclaw Bronze Ring on it, but unfortunately I don't remember it very clearly."

"We can ask the professor during class," Qiu suggested.

"Autumn, the professors won't tell us." Fred shook his head.

"No, not just any professor," Qiu laughed, "We can ask Professor Binns."

The History of Magic was the most boring course on their schedule, and of all their teachers, only the professor who taught it was a ghost.

Today, the class was as dull as ever. Professor Binns opened his notebook and read aloud in a dry, low, monotonous voice, like a tractor that couldn't move.

Half an hour after he finished speaking, something that had never happened before occurred.

Qiu raised her hand.

Professor Binns was giving a very dry explanation of how the great wizard Merlin guided King Arthur to obtain the "Sword of Kings," when he looked up, appearing quite surprised.

"Who are you--"

"I am Professor Cho Chang. I wonder if you could tell us about the Ravenclaw's Ring?" Cho said in a clear voice.

Bell Lime, who had been staring blankly out the window with his mouth agape, suddenly snapped out of his daze.

Marietta lifted her head from her arms, still dazed and confused.

Professor Binns blinked, like Psyduck deep in thought.

"My course is the History of Magic," he said in a dry, panting voice.

"I study facts, Miss Qiu Zhang, not myths and legends." He cleared his throat, making a soft sound like chalk snapping.

He continued, "King Arthur received the holy sword known as the ' Sword of Kings ' from the Lady of the Lake. This sword was forged by the elves in Avalon, its hilt made of gold and its guard inlaid with jewels—"

He stopped stammering, and Qiu waved her hand in the air again.

"Miss Qiu?"

"I'd like to ask you, sir, that legends are based on some kind of fact, aren't they?"

Professor Binns looked at her, utterly astonished.

"Well," Professor Binns said slowly, "Yes, I think you could say that."

He stared intently at Qiu, as if he had never properly observed a student before.

"But the legend you're talking about is a ridiculous fairy tale."

Now, the whole class was listening intently to every word Professor Binns said. He looked at them with his failing eyesight and saw that every face was turned toward him.

"Oh, well then," he said slowly, "Let me think... the Ravenclaw's Bronze Ring..."

"As you all surely know, Hogwarts School and Wizardry was founded over a thousand years ago—the exact date is uncertain—by the four greatest wizards and witches of that time."

Professor Binns paused, his vision blurred as he glanced around the classroom, before continuing, "Of the Four Founders, the most intelligent is undoubtedly the Grey Lady. She is full of wisdom, like a goddess of wisdom; she is learned and knows everything..."

Professor Binns lauded Ravenclaw for a full ten minutes, seemingly wanting to use every beautiful word he could think of to describe Ravenclaw.

There is no doubt that Professor Binns is depicting Ravenclaw according to his imagined image of a goddess.

Based on his description, William couldn't help but suspect that the other members of the Four Founders were all incompetent, especially Gryffindor and Slytherin.

In short, Ravenclaw and her two useless men.
