Chapter 4070 4072【Ravenclaw】
The students saw that these ghosts could talk to people and were not as vicious as the legends said. They couldn't help but feel relieved and continued to eat and drink.
Some brave freshmen also inquired about the origins of these ghosts, such as the ghost of Gryffindor House, Nearly Headless Nick; the ghost of Ravenclaw, Lady Grey; the ghost of Hufflepuff, the Fat Friar; Letling's Ghost Bloody Barrow and more.
When everyone had their stomachs filled and after finishing the main meal, the remaining food disappeared from the plate.
The dinner plates are as smooth as ever. After a while, dessert came again. There are all kinds of ice cream flavors, including strawberry, jelly, rice pudding, apple pie, syrup pie, chocolate sponge cake, fried jam donuts, wine-soaked jam pudding...
The children suddenly screamed in surprise, and several of them regretted that they were so full from the main meal that they could not eat these desserts.
“This pudding is really delicious, but I still think my mother makes the best pudding.”
“Hogwarts is better than I imagined. Although I have just arrived, I already like it.”
"Fortunately, I was assigned to Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin. I heard that dark wizards are produced there."
The classmates were eating desserts and chatting casually.
Finally, the dessert disappeared and Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant also returned to silence.
“Oh, now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, I want to say a few more words to you. At the beginning of the semester, I want to put forward a few things to pay attention to.
Attention first-year freshmen, students are prohibited from entering the woods on campus. Some of our classmates from the old class should also keep this in mind.
Furthermore, the administrator, Mr. Filch, also asked me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the corridors between classes. Quidditch player reviews will take place during the second week of the term. Students who are interested in participating in the college team please contact Mrs. Huo Qi. "He announced loudly.
“Finally, before everyone goes to bed, let us sing the school song together!” Dumbledore said loudly, and then thin singing sounded in the dining room. It was obvious that everyone was too full to sing and had no strength to sing.
After all, as the saying goes, sing when you are full and hungry.
"It's bedtime now. Let's go back to the dormitories." Dumbledore said immediately.
“Freshmen of Ravenclaw, follow me!” the male and female prefects of Ravenclaw shouted together, leading the freshmen of Ravenclaw to the west tower.
They climbed the long marble stairs, and various paintings hung on the walls. The people in the paintings could actually move. This surprised all the children from Muggle families.
“How long until it arrives?”
“We seem to be climbing Big Ben~”
“My legs are so sore~”
The freshmen all complained.
There is no way, the Ravenclaw common room is located at the highest point of the tower, so it is not easy to climb up.
…
There was a door there. There was no handle or keyhole on the door. There was only an old, bare wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it. Prefect Derek Ludwig stepped forward and knocked on the door. The eagle's beak immediately opened, but he did not make a bird call. Instead, he said in a gentle, musical voice: "What will turn from black to white?" ?”
Everyone was stunned, and the prefect also scratched his head.
“Hair.” Xiang Nan replied.
"That makes sense." After the voice said, the door opened.
The Ravenclaw common room is a large circular room with elegant arched windows hanging on the wall, hung with blue and bronze silks. You can vaguely see the surrounding mountains and mountains. Big river. If you watch it during the day, the scenery must be very beautiful.
It has a curved ceiling with stars painted on it, and the dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars. There are tables, chairs, bookshelves in the room, and a tall white marble statue stands in the niche opposite the door.
It is Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw. She has a teasing smile that seems to be absent on her face. She is beautiful, but a little intimidating.
On the top of her head is an exquisite crown reproduced in marble, with small words engraved on it, which is the ancient saying left by Rowena Ravenclaw, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."
There are doors on both sides of the statue. The boys' dormitory is on the left and the girls' dormitory is on the right. Female prefect Amy Green led the female freshmen to the girls' dormitory, and male prefect Derrick Ludweide led the male freshmen to the boys' dormitory.
“This is your dormitory.” Derrick led Xiang Nan and the four of them to the freshman dormitory and said, “Your suitcases and owl cages have been set up, so go to bed early.”
"Thank you, prefect." Xiang Nan and the other four thanked them, and then walked into the dormitory impatiently.
You can see that the dormitory is also very large. There are two bunk beds next to the east wall, all covered with thick bedding and hung with sky blue flannel curtains.
There is a comfortable sofa between the beds, and a tea set is placed on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, where people can sit and take a nap.
There are four wardrobes on the south wall, and a huge bookshelf on the north wall. There are neatly arranged books on them, which are probably Rowena Ravenclaw's personal collection.
There are four desks placed on the west wall, which should be a place for students to study, read, and do homework. Overall, the Ravenclaw dormitories are warm, comfortable, and modern and simple in style.
…
"There is no nameplate on the bed. I think we need to allocate beds ourselves." Xiang Nan said, "Who wants to live in the lower bunk?"
“I want to live in the lower bunk, and I never want to climb a ladder again.” said a chubby boy, Xiang Nan remembered that his name was Joey Farrell.
“I also want to live in the lower bunk, my legs are almost numb.” Another thin boy also said, Xiang Nan remembered that his name was Benjamin Winslet.
“I also want to live in the lower bunk, and I don’t want to climb up and down every day.” said a short boy, Xiang Nan remembered that his name was Gregory Foley.
"Okay, then I'll choose the upper bunk. For the sake of fairness, the three of you will draw lots to see who will live in the upper bunk?" Xiang Nan suggested.
In fact, he would rather live in the upper bunk because it is cleaner.
Joy, Benjamin, and Gregory all nodded.
Xiang Nan then helped them make three lots. One of the paper **** had the word "up" written on it, and the two paper **** had the word "down" written on it. "Choose for yourselves, be willing to admit defeat."
The three of them each chose one and opened it separately. Gregory successfully won the lottery and drew the note with "Up" written on it. "Tough luck!" This made him very depressed. I wish I could admit defeat, but he still recognized the result.
