Chapter 606 Crown

There was no fog or crackling wind or thunder. Everything in the forest was peaceful, except Ada.

Ada, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, seemed to have crossed a long river of time, and the scene under the hollow tree many years ago was playing out before her eyes.

In 1993, Ada found the entrance to the secret room in the girls' bathroom and discovered Slytherin's real secret room. At that time, Ada saw Salazar Slytherin from thousands of years ago, and the basilisk as a baby snake.

Then Ada sat in Salazar Slytherin's chair; now Ada kicked the hollow tree. Both times she wore gold-rimmed glasses, and both times she had hallucinations.

In the vision, a woman walked towards the hollow tree holding something in her hands.

This woman was extremely beautiful, and even her tired face and dusty face could not conceal her beauty.

When she got closer, Ada discovered that the woman was holding an exquisite box, and her appearance felt familiar to Ada.

The long journey made the woman feel a little tired, so she sat under the hollow tree. The woman opened the exquisite box and found a crown lying quietly inside. She wanted to take the crown out and put it on her head.

However, the sound of hurried footsteps in the forest made the woman give up this approach. She hurriedly put the crown back into the box, and then put the box into the hole of the hollow tree.

What caught up was a man, who ran over and yelled "Helena!"

Ada who was watching was a little confused. Isn't the woman in this illusion Ms. Grey? She was the arrogant ghost of Ravenclaw! Every Hogwarts student knows that there is a ghost in Ravenclaw named the Gray Lady.

What the hell is Helena! It can't be Helena Ravenclaw!

Lady Grey, the resident ghost of Ravenclaw, is believed by many students to be Jane Grey, the Thirteenth Day Queen of the Tudor dynasty.

Jane Gray is a royal noblewoman. King Edward VI of England is her cousin. She also has two more famous cousins-Mary I and Elizabeth I.

After Edward VI died, he did not want his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth to succeed him, so the throne fell to Jane Grey. But the good times did not last long, and Jane Gray was soon deposed by Parliament and imprisoned in the Tower of London. About six months later, Jane Gray was secretly executed by Queen Mary I and her body was buried under the floor of the Tower of London. She was sixteen years old.

Ada had thought so before. There was already a portrait of Anne Boleyn, Queen of Henry VIII, in the castle. It was normal to have another ghost of the first Queen of England.

But now it seems that Lady Gray of Ravenclaw is not the queen. Her name is Helena, and her surname may be Ravenclaw. Furthermore, considering Jane Gray's noble status and short life, it is unlikely that she would come all the way to Albania.

The beauty named Helena, who looked like a Ravenclaw, hurriedly hid the box and turned around to use it as a hole in the hollow tree. When she finished doing this, the man who eagerly called her name also ran closer.

Ada was shocked again——

Isn't this Slytherin's Bloody Barrow? Why did this big brother come to Albania? Is this poor place so popular with British wizards? They all run here!

Bloody Barro is a scary-looking ghost, with hollow eyes, a thin face, and silvery blood stains on his robes. Just because he can subdue Peeves, Barrow has the ability to be feared.

Since Ada entered school, she has heard Bloody Barrow speak only a handful of times. He always stares at one place with empty eyes. He can be called a good example of someone who is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He is Slytherin's good brother. He is also a good big brother who doesn’t smoke Huazi.

There are rumors that because he failed to pursue Ravenclaw's daughter Helena, he killed Helena in a rage. Later, he was too sad and guilty, so he followed Helena.

Now it seems that is not entirely the case.

Everyone said that Helena ran away to elope with someone, but no one mentioned that she also used Ravenclaw's diadem as a dowry!

When Ada came back to her senses, Barrow had already quarreled with Helena, and the quarrel was fierce and sparks flew.

One said, "Stop making trouble and come back with me." The other said, "No, I won't go back."

One said, "Hurry up and come back with me, you're so stupid." The other said, "I won't, I won't."

Two people who lived a thousand years ago had a heated argument in front of Ada, a little brat from a thousand years later. From the quarrel between the two, Ada gradually understood the truth of the year.

Helena was the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. In order to be smarter and more famous than her mother, she ran away with the diadem. Legend has it that Ravenclaw's diadem can make the wearer wiser.

Later, Ravenclaw became seriously ill and dying, and wanted to see his daughter again, so he sent Barrow to find Helena and bring her back.

Barrow is the best candidate. He has always loved Helena deeply and will definitely bring his lover back. He will not hurt Helena because of the crown.

Bloody Barrow lived up to Ravenclaw's trust. He did find Helena hiding in Albania, but he failed to bring Helena back to Hogwarts.

Rowena Ravenclaw never saw her daughter until her death. When people were sorting through her belongings, they discovered that her diadem was missing. During her lifetime, she concealed the disappearance of the crown and Helena's betrayal.

The illusion in front of them was coming to an end. After a few words, Barrow and Helena stopped arguing, and neither of them spoke anymore. However, the silence at this moment was far more terrifying than the quarrel just now.

Helena's towering chest was rising and falling. It could be seen that she was calming down her emotions, and her eyes were not as decisive as before.

Barrow stood behind Helena. He kept breathing heavily and his eyes trembled. It seemed that Helena had just refused to go back to Hogwarts with him, which had affected his sadness and reminded Barrow of his failed attempts to express love in the past.

"Helena..." Barrow called his lover's name softly.

Helena turned around when her name was called. What was waiting for her was not Barrow's persuasion again, but a sharp knife!

Blood spurted out, and her snow-white chest was instantly dyed red by the blood, and then her robe, cloak, the ground beneath her, and the hollow tree that was not dead at that time.

The scarlet blood was so dazzling that Barrow, who was holding a sharp knife, finally came to his senses. He held his lover's cold body and cried bitterly.

Sadness, guilt, and pain, these emotions replaced the anger in Barrow's heart, and he once again raised the knife to stab Helena to death. Only this time, the blade was pointed at himself.

The illusion dissipated like smoke, and Ada leaned against the hollow tree, smoothing out her thoughts.

Voldemort came to Albania for the diadem, the diadem of Ravenclaw. This was probably shortly after he left Hogwarts and before he started working at Borgin and Burkes.

Many years later, when Voldemort needed a place to concentrate on studying dark magic and spend ten long years without being disturbed, what better place could there be than this dark forest far away from the eyes of the world?

As for how Voldemort knew the whereabouts of the "missing diadem", could anyone but Helena tell him? Before this, only the Ravenclaw ghost "Grey Lady" knew that the diadem was hidden in Albania.

At that time, Voldemort was definitely not the ghost he is now. He was probably still a handsome young man who fascinated Hepzibah Smith.

At that time, Voldemort definitely did not rely on torture. He could also use the charm of language. With his eloquence, he deceived the professors at the school and recruited the first Death Eaters for himself.

Ada took off her glasses, rubbed her sore eyes, and looked at the place where Helena was stabbed to death. The scarlet and dazzling blood is gone, but the sad story has been recorded.

Helena can be considered a poor person. The aura of her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw, put too much pressure on her, causing her to go astray and make a big mistake, stealing the crown that did not yet belong to her.

You have to swallow the bitter pills you make. This is the case for Helena Ravenclaw, and the same is true for Ada.

Helena won Ada's sympathy, but she had no feelings for Barrow, who committed suicide, and was slightly disgusted with it, even though Barrow, who had become a ghost, kept repenting in chains.
