Chapter 117 The Trick of Fate

"After you left, Godric fell seriously ill. Not long after he recovered, he also left the school. ♦✎Later, Helga wanted to find the whereabouts of the two of you and traveled around the world, but she couldn't go there either. Come back, I’m the only one left here.”

Ravenclaw's tone was calm and gentle, but Les felt infinite sadness and loneliness.

He suddenly remembered the night when Hogwarts Castle was built.

That day, the top of the last tower was sealed, and the castle was completely completed. It was just waiting for the students who came here to enroll. The four of them gathered on the newly leveled lawn outside the castle and looked at the crystallization of their hard work.

"I feel like I could add something more, maybe add a tower in the middle?" Helga still had some ideas about the structure of the castle.

"But what is the purpose of designing the atrium like this? The tower will take up too much space, and if it floats in the air, it will also affect the lighting of the courtyard." Salazar rejected Hufflepuff's proposal.

He felt that the design of the castle was already approaching perfection and there was no need to add any more details.

"Stop doing it, I'm really exhausted these days." Godric had a strong opinion. He has been acting as a coolie these days. If other people have ideas, most of them will ask him to get the materials. Even with the help of magic, this is a laborious task.

So when he heard that Hufflepuff was going to change the structure of the castle, he was really annoyed.

Ravenclaw nodded silently. She also felt that adding a tower in the middle of the castle would be extremely ugly. Although the concept of the floating tower mentioned by Salazar was very cool, it still couldn't change the fact that it was ugly.

"Okay then." Seeing that his proposal was unanimously opposed, Hufflepuff stopped insisting.

Gryffindor stretched, and then suddenly said: "Don't mention it, this castle is quite spectacular."

This was unanimously agreed by the other three. From a distance, Hogwarts Castle looks like a giant dragon entrenched on the cliff, overlooking the surrounding forests and lakes.

"This is our school!" Hufflepuff puffed up his chest proudly.

"This will be the best magic school in all of Britain, all of Europe, and even the world." Salazar also became extremely ambitious and decided to build Hogwarts into the top magic school in the world.

"Even if it takes decades of hard work." Hufflepuff smiled. She believed that although the Hogwarts in front of her had just been built and didn't even have a single student, it was hindering it from becoming the top magic school in the world. There is only time.

After all, this is where the four of them teach in person! What other combination could be better than the four of them?

"When that time comes, I will pack my bags and travel around the world - whether to go west or east, I have to toss a coin to decide." Rowena is already thinking about his retirement life.

"That's great, remember to keep those books you collected." Slytherin laughed: "I'm too lazy to move, so I can just live here and teach students. It's good - I have the amount of travel in my life. It’s already used up!”

"Indeed, it's time to enjoy your happiness!" Gryffindor agreed with his old friend.

"Then I have to study cooking magic seriously, lest you guys tell me that I don't know how to cook." Hufflepuff's voice came from the side.

"When the time comes, use your skills to tie Rowena up in the castle!"

…

The memory was interrupted, and Les's mind returned to reality, and then there was infinite emotion: The woman who originally wanted to travel around the world, as free as the wind, chose to lock herself in a dungeon, and wanted to stay in school to teach. But all the people left.

Fate played a trick on them.

"What are you doing?" Les sighed.

Ravenclaw stood there quietly and looked at him, as if he was used to the hard life here.

"The seal here needs to be guarded."

"Why not let the students help? Barrow and Adrian are both very good kids - didn't Helena go on a trip? You can call her back. Although she is not as smart as you, she can still help. I'm busy." Rowena's words puzzled Les. He remembered that when he left school, although there were some unscrupulous people in the castle, the outstanding children still accounted for the majority, which should be enough to share the pressure for her. That's right.

Mentioning Barrow, Les suddenly remembered the ghost he saw during the sorting ceremony. He is not a ghost who frequently moves around the castle, so Les has never found a chance to have a good chat with him - more importantly, it seems that there is nothing to talk about if he does not reveal his identity. Under the premise, how could he deal with an inexplicable little wizard?

Barrow, who died young, really couldn't help Rowena, but weren't there others? Such as her daughter.

Ravenclaw was silent again.

What she was going to say was a bit hard to say, but after thinking about it, she felt relieved: It had been so many years, what else could not be said?

"I have something to tell you."

Les nodded—and within seconds his pupils dilated.

"Helena ran away with my crown."

"Escaped?! And stole your crown?"

"Yeah." Ravenclaw said Salazar, you heard it right.

"Ungrateful!!!" Les was really angry this time. "If it weren't for you, she would have starved to death, but she did this to you!"

He wanted to shoot a map bomb on his bloodline, but in the end he resisted. It was because of this topic that he had a falling out with his friends, which eventually led to the fight. Now he saw no need to bring up the old matter.

"Don't blame her, she also has her difficulties. I know she has always wanted to be smarter and more famous than me. She, she is just too eager to step out of my shadow. You know, the pressure on her has always been Very big." Ravenclaw rarely said a lot of words, just hoping that Les would not blame Helena too much.

"You shouldn't have been hiding it from us. The least we can do is help you get the diadem back. That thing really can't be left out. It's too dangerous." Les shook his head. Regarding Ravenclaw's family affairs, He is also difficult to judge. But it was obviously Ravenclaw's fault that the diadem was lost and not repaid.

Ronay's crown, like his wand, is made of the divine remains. Losing control will bring great risks.

"It has the spell I attached to it. It's very safe. I thought Helena would come back eventually." Ravenclaw sighed, and his expression became more complicated: "Then something happened at school, and I was seriously injured. I knew the Baron kid had always liked her, so I sent him to find Helena. Then I heard about them again, and it was news of their deaths. Baron killed Helena, and then committed suicide."

Les: Huh? ? ?
