Chapter 988 The Disappearing Ghost

The news about Grindelwald was popular in the wizarding world for a while, but it did not affect Hogwarts.

The students seemed uninterested in this man of influence seventy years ago. They were more looking forward to the upcoming Quidditch trials than Grindelwald.

It is said that this selection was personally presided over by the principal, and the freshmen in the second grade could not wait for it. The same goes for many first-year students.

Although the school rules clearly state that first-year students are not allowed to participate in Quidditch, there are exceptions to everything.

For example, the famous Harry Potter, it is said that he showed extremely high talent for Quidditch when he was in first grade, and was then recruited into the team by Professor McGonagall, who was still the vice-principal.

Coincidentally, the person in charge of the selection this year is still Principal Minerva McGonagall, which means that they also have the opportunity to join the team in the first grade.

The professors are also looking forward to it. Due to various reasons, Quidditch was forced to stop for a long time before. This time it can be truly resumed.

There are not many entertainment activities in the wizarding world, and there are even fewer in schools. Watching students play Quidditch is also the favorite activity of many professors.

Everyone is waiting for the start of the trials, but Kyle is getting busier and busier.

After meeting Rita Skeeter last time, he met Helena Ravenclaw when he returned.

After disappearing for a long time, she reappeared in Hogwarts Castle, still in the form of a ghost.

However, while Ms. Gray had a gloomy personality before, Helena is now much more cheerful, even a little too cheerful.

When Kyle saw her, she was coaxing Nick, who was almost headless, to perform a head-flicking dance in the first-year dormitory in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, the almost headless Nick rejected her proposal, which allowed the poor freshmen to escape.

Kyle asked her for news about Rowena Ravenclaw, but Helena did not answer. She just said in a deep voice:

"Remember? She is just a memory that has been preserved for a thousand years."

Kyle didn't ask any more questions after that.

Memory is not eternal. It is a more fragile existence than a ghost. Maybe Ravenclaw has the ability to make that memory of hers last forever, but will she really do that?

Kyle didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

But Ravenclaw guessed what he wanted to ask.

Helena suggested that Kyle go to the school library and said that everything he wanted to know was there, but Kyle needed to find it out himself.

So during this period of time, Kyle basically ran to the library when he had time, and he was even more diligent than when he was in school. At least now he didn't need to wander to the library at night, and could stay here openly all night long.

Although it is tiring, the harvest is not small.

Kyle found two books that were not originally there, but were newly added to the library.

After all, there were no books signed by Rowena Ravenclaw in the library before.

The name was small and hidden in the corner of the cover, but Kyle found it.

The content in these two books is exactly what Kyle needs most.

One of them was about magic texts. It was very complicated. It was more complicated than all the magic books he had come into contact with. He still couldn't understand it for the time being.

The other one he could understand was a book related to Horcruxes. It not only contained the specific process of making Horcruxes, but also recorded several changes in Horcruxes during the Haierbo era.

Including changes in form and replacement of ideas.

It was very useful, and it was exactly what Kyle needed the most. After just watching it for a few days, he could easily insert the "gauze" wrapped around the stone inside.

On the day of the Quidditch tryout, most students went to the Quidditch field to watch the excitement, and the castle seemed particularly empty.

Kyle walked out of the library.

Ravenclaw only seemed to have two books hidden here - he couldn't find the third anyway.

The corridor outside was quiet, except for the faint sounds of laughter coming from far away upstairs.

"How about it, are the things my mother prepared useful to you?" A voice came from the left direction, and then a translucent ghost with a pearly white color came out of the wall.

"Very useful." Kyle turned his head, "Well-" "-I would like to ask, would you rather I call you Helena or Ms. Grey?"

"As you wish."

"Then Helena." Kyle said, taking out the book he found from the library. "Thanks, this is exactly what I need."

"You don't need to thank me, I have no credit for this." Helena said.

"Then please help me convey it to Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw."

"I will."

Helena's answer caused Kyle to pause slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I have to thank you too." Helena said, "Before this, I never knew how to face my mother.

“If you hadn’t brought me directly to her, I might never have had the courage to face her.

"Well - actually, you don't need to thank me." Kyle said, "I'm not here to help you. To be honest,

At that time, you were regarded as my gift to bribe Ms. Ravenclaw. "

"I know, but this does not conflict with me thanking you." Helena smiled.

Kyle suddenly discovered that she looked much better when she smiled than when she had a gloomy face. She was bright and sunny, and there was a bit of Ravenclaw's unique intelligence between her eyebrows.

It’s almost like he’s a different person—well, a ghost.

"By the way, can I ask you a question?" Kyle suddenly said: "Of course, this question may be a little offensive, if you mind--"

"Just ask." Helena curled her lips, "It doesn't matter even if you want to know about Gryffindor's romantic affairs. I have a lot of information here that others will never know."

There is absolutely no problem with this. As the daughter of Ravenclaw and a contemporary of Gryffindor, she must have many unknown secrets.

For a moment, Kyle's heart moved, but only for a moment.

While the Gryffindor gossip is fascinating, the character columns in The Quibbler are also great.

Gryffindor is one of the regular guests, and his deeds can almost be published in a book.

Although the news is 100% guaranteed to be fake, the excitement is not compromised at all. Maybe there are some truths hidden in it.

And that was all a thousand years ago, so whether it’s true or false doesn’t seem to be that important.

"I want to ask why you are still here." Kyle looked at Helena. "I mean, I thought you would be with Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. You should have no reason to stay at Hogwarts now. Why are you still a ghost?"

"Of course it's because I'm cowardly." Helena said without any hesitation.

I am just like the other ghosts in this castle, cowardly, timid, and ordinary, so I stole my mother's crown, and I am still a ghost now.

Kyle was stunned for a moment.

Facing such a straightforward Helena, he didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.

"Bloody the Bloody is braver than me." Helena spoke again, her voice very soft.

"He confessed to my mother and one day after being forgiven he disappeared."

"Have you forgiven him?" Kyle asked.

"I will probably never forgive him," Helena said. "It's just that for a moment, I suddenly felt that it didn't matter."

"That bloody Barrow..."

"Without the Bloody Barrow, if you happened to be in the dungeons last week, you might have been able to attend the biggest ghost party Hogwarts has ever seen."

"Ghost party?" Kyle thought for a moment, "Who's celebrating their 500th birthday again?"

"It's even grander than that." Helena murmured. "Every disappearance of a ghost is worthy of a grand party. All the famous ghosts in Britain came, and the carnival lasted for a whole week."

“No wonder——” Kyle smacked his lips, “Recently the ghosts in the castle seem to have disappeared en masse, even Peeves hasn’t appeared for a long time.

"I guess it's the happiest one."

"Peeves is indeed crazy with joy." Helena said with some laughter.

"Then there are no ghosts in Slytherin?"

"They can find another one. I think the Shrieking Witch is good. At least the name is as suitable for Slytherin as Bloody Balor."

As they talked, they walked downstairs.

Helena seemed to want to come here to thank Kyle for taking her to Ravenclaw. When she reached the foyer, she got into the wall.

According to Helena, she just wants to see Hogwarts in a different mood now, a completely different mood from before.

Kyle naturally supported her idea.

Then he walked through the hall and along the courtyard to the campus hospital.

He had been to the office just now, but couldn't find anyone, so he wanted to try his luck here.

Opening the door, Professor Sasia was indeed here, chatting about Quidditch with Madam Pomfrey.

Of course, Madam Pomfrey's idea of ​​Quidditch is somewhat different from others. She is more inclined to cancel this dangerous game. In this way, the injury rate at Hogwarts can definitely be reduced by more than half.

She brought it up again every year during the Quidditch tryouts and games, and now she was trying to persuade Professor Sasia and Connor to join her.

Just looking at Professor Sasia's expression, she didn't seem to agree with this view.

"Kyle, why are you here?" After seeing Kyle, she immediately stood up and changed the subject.

"Nothing, I just passed by accidentally." Kyle said, while intentionally or unintentionally taking out a stone.

When she saw the stone, Professor Sasia's eyes flashed.

"Bobby, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Let's talk next time."

"Of course, of course," Madam Pomfrey said.

Professor Sasia nodded, got up and left the campus hospital.

Kyle and Connor followed.

The three of them came to the courtyard outside.

Before Kyle could speak, Sasia took the lead and said, "Did you succeed?"

"That's right." Kyle took out the stone again, "It's a serious Horcrux. Even if Voldemort comes, there won't be a single flaw in it."

"But, you couldn't do it so perfectly a few days ago." Sasia frowned.

She knew Kyle was smart, but it was hard to believe that he could solve all the problems he had encountered in such a short period of time.

"I kinda got a little help."

"Don't tell Rowena? Ravenclaw————"

Sasia turned her head and said, "I won't believe it until I see the memory you mentioned."

"It's not memory, it's knowledge." Kyle took out a book.

Sasia took it and turned two pages.

"Did you——didn't you get a good rest last night?"

"Not bad."

"Then why did you give me a blank sheet of paper." Sasia opened the book.

Kyle looked over subconsciously, and then realized that all the contents previously recorded on it had disappeared. "There was really something on this before?" Kangna asked softly.

"It's true." Kyle nodded, "But she doesn't seem to want too many people to see this part."

"It's probably because of the disappearing ink," said Kang Na.

She naturally believed in Kyle, and she was one of the few people who knew the existence of Rowena Ravenclaw.

"Weasley's Wizard Wheezes has this kind of thing. Each bottle is one Galleons, and the written words will disappear if the wind blows.

"Some students will also use the excuse that their ink has been changed to cover up their blank homework."

"Maybe so," Kyle said. “But I can guarantee that there was something in this book when I read it, and it benefited me a lot.

"All the problems I encountered before can be answered here. This is why I can make the perfect Horcrux so quickly."

Professor Sasia said nothing;

It's not that she doesn't believe what Kyle said, it's just that there's something. If she can't see the truth, it's really hard to accept it for a while.

Although her reason, knowledge and instinct did not believe that Rowena Ravenclaw could survive until now, she also did not believe that Kyle would lie about such a thing.

Moreover, the 'Horcrux' stone is also real, this one cannot be fake.

Sasia lowered her head and glanced at the stone in her hand. Regardless of whether there was a Ravenclaw or not, at least this thing could prove Kyle's ability.

"So you came to me this time about the Longbottoms?

"Yes." Kyle said, "I think it's time. If I feel it's not safe enough, I can do it again in front of the principal and professor."

"This is different from what you told me." Sasia reminded: "In addition, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not agree with you making Horcruxes, even if you are trying to save people."

"It doesn't matter, I know what to do." Kyle said, "It's just that the container that holds the soul is different.

Whether it's stones, bones or anything else, it's all the same. "

"One more thing."

"What?"

"The person you should be looking for is not me." Sasia turned around and returned the stone in her hand to Kyle.

"Did you forget? I'm retired."

"The person you should be looking for now is actually Mrs. Longbottom or Mr. Longbottom.'

Sasia glanced in the direction of the school greenhouse. "If I remember correctly, Pomona mentioned to me that she also found an excellent assistant coach, whose surname happened to be Longbottom."
