Chapter 124 124. Lady Grey and the House of Requirement
After lunch, Scott and the others met Dylan and Kayla, who were huddling together and whispering in the hallway.
Dylan saw Scott and asked him, "Scott, you were looking for Ms. Gray last night, weren't you?"
"That's right." Scott stopped, "Did you see her?"
"She's in the garden of the atrium now!" Keira said with some embarrassment, "We were dating there just now."
Eddie quipped, "You two hang out every day and need a date?"
"It's none of your business, Eddie!"
Keira glared at him, then asked Scott curiously, "What can you do with Ms. Gray? I don't think this is a good time to talk to her. She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."
"Just a few questions I want to ask her, thank you for telling me." Scott said.
He handed the book in his hand to Eddie and asked him to help him take it back to the dormitory, and walked to the atrium garden alone.
When he walked into the garden, he saw the tall Ms. Gray standing quietly on the edge of the flower bed, looking at a few new shoots on a bush with a blank expression.
As Keira said, she did seem to be in a bad mood, and she exuded an air of indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.
But Scott walked over slowly.
Ms. Gray, who heard the footsteps, turned her head slowly.
"You came to see me?" Her tone was cold, mixed with some impatience.
"Yes, Ms. Gray," Scott said softly, "Sorry to bother you, but..."
He took another step closer.
"I want to tell you that I heard Medea's music during my Potions class, and I was the only one who heard it."
"It's Medea again."
Ms. Gray's originally frozen eyes softened a little.
"I told Graves not to do more business with her, and so will you," she said in a commanding tone.
"Sorry." Scott showed an uneasy look, "I was tempted by the music, and that music can improve my magic activity and perception."
Ms. Gray frowned and said loudly, "I warned you!"
"No, I didn't make a deal with her." Scott quickly explained, "But I talked to her."
Ms. Gray's expression eased a little, "What did she tell you?"
Scott softly recounted the content of his conversation with Medea.
"...I didn't expect you to be Ravenclaw's daughter!"
Finally, he looked at Ms. Gray with excited eyes.
"Do not……"
Ms. Gray's expression became very complicated.
"I……"
She paused, and said angrily: "What are you excited about? I'm just Ravenclaw's daughter! There is no comparison with the great Ravenclaw himself!"
Scott was a little embarrassed and looked at her a little bewildered.
He apologized incoherently, "Sorry... I'm just... just a little excited... After all..."
He felt that he had used all his acting skills at this moment.
Simply the pinnacle of acting.
"It seems that Medea will not let it go, she is trying to induce you."
Ms Gray calmed down.
"If it doesn't work out, her goals will turn to someone else!"
She floated and looked down at Scott a few times.
"I've been investigating the vow that Medea made with my mother these days," she said.
Is the truth coming?Scott thought.
"Maybe..." She said with some hesitation, "Would you be willing to help break that oath?"
what?
Scott was a little dumbfounded.
But he held on.
"What do you mean?" he asked suspiciously.
Ms Gray said: "That oath can be broken, but only Hogwarts students can do it, not ghosts, not professors, only students."
Can it be lifted?
Scott thought about it, and asked her again: "If you want to get rid of it, what should you do?"
"So you'd like to help?" Ms. Gray asked.
"No..." Scott said, "I want to know what to do before I can decide."
Ms. Gray was not angry, but nodded in agreement.
"That's right, it's the practice of Gryffindors to rush up without knowing the situation." She said in a moderate tone, "Of course you should think carefully."
She turned and floated towards the interior of the castle.
"Come with me."
Scott took a step to follow behind her.
They climbed the stairs all the way up to the eighth floor and stood in a corridor.
There was a blank wall on one side of the corridor, and a tapestry of Barnabas being beaten by a troll with a club on the other.
This is……
Room of Requirement?
Scott knew this was the entrance to the Room of Requirement, but he had never been there.
In the past, he didn't need to use this place, so there was no need to take the risk to enter.
It wasn't a hidden space that a young Muggle-born wizard should know about, and he wouldn't be able to explain it if it were discovered.
After all, the principal's office is also on the eighth floor.
At this time, Ms. Gray instructed him, "Walk back and forth three times, and concentrate on saying silently in your heart-'Helena's study'."
Scott looked at her pretending to be puzzled, nodded again, and began to follow suit.
After he had walked up and down this corridor three times, saying "Helena's study" to himself, a brown door appeared on the blank wall.
Scott saw at a glance the eagle-shaped bronze knocker on the door, which was almost identical to the one on the door to the Ravenclaw common room.
"How many years..."
The eagle's head on the door knocker moved and opened its mouth to speak.
"...Welcome back, Helena."
Scott looked back, and Ms. Gray was pursing her lips tightly, silent.
"Go in, Helena, it's been too long, and only you can open this door."
The eagle head on the door knocker said another word, and then completely stopped moving.
With a "click", the door opened automatically.
Scott still looked at Ms. Gray.
After a while, Ms. Gray seemed to recover, and floated into the door without saying a word.
Scott waited a while longer before he heard her say inside, "Come in."
Scott walked in the door curiously.
After closing the door smoothly, he first looked around for a week, and couldn't help admiring in his heart.
This is an extremely delicate and beautiful study.
Rows of neat bookshelves, comfortable seats, colorful oil paintings on the walls, and lace curtains, all the arrangements in the room are full of girlish atmosphere.
Ms. Gray was floating over her desk, looking up at the only portrait on the wall.
The beautiful girl in the painting is also looking down at her.
"You are finally here, Helena." The girl in the painting blinked, she looked a little angry, "Too long has passed!"
Ms. Gray said nothing.
The girl in the painting suddenly laughed triumphantly, "It's been too long! It's been too long! You have become a ghost! The ghost is not Helena! Maybe now I am the real Helena!"
"Shut up, Helena!"
Ms. Gray said to herself in the painting indifferently.
"You're just a portrait."
"What are you talking about!" The girl in the painting glared at her angrily, "Since you left, my mother has been talking to me! Compared to you, I am my mother's good daughter!"
"To shut up!"
Ms. Gray snapped again.
"I didn't come here to talk to you, Helena!"
