Ravenclaw's Heir

Professor Binns stood on the podium, and all eyes were on him.

"Ravenclaw is undoubtedly a perfect witch. She is so outstanding that it has aroused some rumors that she possesses legendary magical artifacts that have helped her gain so much wisdom."

"Among them, the most widely circulated are Ravenclaw's Diadem and ring."

Although Professor Binns ' voice was unpleasant, everyone listened attentively.

This kind of scene is not common. Professor Binns was a little hurt; when he taught, people weren't so attentive!

He cleared his throat and continued, "Ravenclaw's Diadem and Bronze Ring, the most famous of which is, of course, her Diadem."

The Diadem was a jewel-encrusted, Winky crown, with Ravenclaw's famous motto inscribed on its base. "Superior intelligence is the greatest treasure of mankind."

Legend has it that she enchanted the Diadem, increasing the wearer's wisdom.

Everyone's breathing quickened.

Such intelligence-boosting items are undoubtedly extremely attractive. As long as one's base stats aren't too low, equipping them will surely turn them into a genius.

Who doesn't want to be a genius?

Professor Binns glanced around and quickly said, "As for Ravenclaw's Bronze Ring, it cannot increase intelligence."

However, legend has it that the ring can manipulate time freely, appearing at any point in time, and unlike the "Hour-Reversal Charm," it doesn't have serious side effects.

"Hour-Reversal Charm"... William heard an unfamiliar term, wrote it down in his book, and planned to look it up at the library when he had time.

Professor Binns lowered his voice and said, "Some say that Ravenclaw uses this ring to constantly travel back in time to learn and correct her mistakes, which is why she never makes mistakes and learns so much knowledge."

Professor Binns ' voice grew softer and softer, as if he were telling a ghost story.

"It is said that after Ravenclaw's Diadem was lost, she hid the ring to prevent theft from happening again until her true heir came to the school."

Only that heir can obtain the ring and inherit her legacy.

The story was over, and the class fell silent, but not the drowsy silence that was typical of Professor Binns' classes.

Everyone kept staring at him, hoping he would continue. The atmosphere was unsettling, and Professor Binns grew even more annoyed.

"Of course, the whole thing is utter nonsense," he said disapprovingly. "Ravenclaw's Diadem has long been lost, and there's no magic that increases wisdom."

As for the ring, that's utter nonsense. No one has ever found a ring with any special properties in the Ravenclaw Common Room.

"But, sir," Arthur of Slytherin House said after a moment, raising his hand.

He asked, "Since only Ravenclaw's heir can inherit that door knocker, others might not even realize its special nature, right?"

"Nonsense," Professor Binns said in an annoyed tone. "Ravenclaw House has so many excellent wizards graduating every year."

Many of them even became Minister for Magic or Hogwarts Headmaster. If even such excellent wizards couldn't find the ring, who could possibly be Ravenclaw's successor?

"But, Professor," Marietta cried out, "it will probably require Dark Magic to find it—"

"Just because a wizard doesn't use Dark Magic doesn't mean he can't," Professor Binns said sharply. "I repeat, since even someone like Professor Flitwick can't—"

"But, sir," Marietta said unwillingly, "That Death Eaters must have found some clues to be so convinced, right?"

"A clue?" Professor Binns said angrily, "I'm telling you, the door knocker in the Ravenclaw Common Room has gone missing more than once; it happens every few years."

Everyone stared at Professor Binns in horror.

"Yes, it mysteriously disappears every now and then. As for the so-called clues, I dare say that the other party stole the door knocker because they heard such rumors."

But if it were useful, the door knocker wouldn't still be there—"

"So, that Death Eaters definitely can't be resurrected... You-Know-Who?" Hans Bibble asked cautiously.

The classroom suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Professor Binns; after talking for so long, what they really wanted to ask was this very question.

"Clearly, he can't be resurrected; that Death Eaters was just a madman."

"But Professor, the madman you're talking about stole the door knocker right under Professor Dumbledore's nose."

"Enough," Professor Binns said sternly.

"This is a fairy tale! It doesn't exist at all! I really regret telling you this ridiculous story!"

If you're willing, let's go back to history, back to the real, credible, and reliable facts!

Professor Binns started lecturing from the textbook and stopped responding to the students' questions.

Within five minutes, the students had fallen back into a drowsy state.

"Can that door knocker really take you back in time?" Qiu asked after class.

Everyone was struggling through the crowded corridor to put down their bags and have lunch.

William glanced around, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but if that Death Eaters could really travel back ten years and stop Voldemort's death, history would have been completely different by now."

Autumn breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, since history didn't change and Voldemort still died ten years ago, the other side definitely couldn't travel back in time.

At this moment, a large area around the two of them was cleared up because they had just mentioned Voldemort's name.

To be honest, William didn't understand at all.

Those young wizards from wizarding families are one thing, but they experienced that era when they were young and were left with trauma.

But why would Muggle-born wizard be afraid of the name Voldemort, to the point that he would shudder at the mere mention of it?

William was very puzzled.

If Voldemort was this terrified, wouldn't he be scared to death just by hearing the name of the Führer?

That's incredibly naive and simple-minded.
