Chapter 57: Introduction to the School of the "Fake" Female Headmaster

Led by the "fake" female prefect Penelope, the first-year wizards of Ravenclaw filed out, while the two "real" prefects led the senior students to leave first.

Why is it called a "fake" prefect? ​​Because Hogwarts has a rule that the prefect election is held in the fifth grade. How could Penelope, who is in the fourth grade this year, be a prefect?

But she didn't know what was wrong with her today. She found two class leaders at the end of the banquet, and after promising them "huge profits", she finally got the job of welcoming the new students.

"Be careful with those spiral staircases. Don't go in the wrong direction. Remember the spiral pattern of each staircase. Otherwise, you may not only be late, but also get hurt."

Penelope patiently explained to the freshmen: "The staircases at Hogwarts are ever-changing. This was suggested and designed by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of the college."

"Our common room and dormitory are on the west side of the castle. It's a long way to go, so watch your step!"

In this way, with Penelope's detailed explanation along the way, they climbed up the tall tower and came to the entrance of the common room.

The entrance is at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower. As soon as you see it, you can see an old and smooth wooden board with a huge eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it.

Penelope knocked three times gently, and the door knocker emitted a mysterious and magnetic sound: "Where is the center of the universe?"

"Everywhere. The universe is constantly expanding, and no matter where you are in the universe, all objects will expand and move away from you at the same speed." Penelope thought for a moment and then answered.

"That makes sense." The mysterious and magnetic voice sounded again, and then fell silent.

Penelope continued, "Other colleges have fixed passwords, but we don't. As long as you can answer the questions about the eagle-shaped bronze knocker, you can enter."

Seeing the freshmen looking embarrassed, Penelope explained, "Don't worry about not being able to answer the questions. In fact, there is no fixed standard answer to these questions. As long as you have a reason that can convince the door knocker, it will be fine. Of course, don't expect the door knocker to ask those rigid math questions. Its questions are more or less philosophical."

Hermione frowned and muttered, "If it's so easy to get through, wouldn't it be very easy for outsiders to enter the Ravenclaw common room? Is it safe here?"

Although the little girl's voice was not loud, Penelope still heard it clearly. She smiled and explained, "You don't have to worry about safety, because in the past thousand years, except for our students of Ravenclaw, no outsiders have been able to pass this so-called 'simple barrier'."

Finally, Penello encouraged: "Come on, little eagles, show your courage. Believe me, you will soon enjoy the challenge of Eagle Ring very much. Many seniors even regard it as a social leisure game."

"Imagine that you all get together during your leisure time and have a quiz contest with Eagle Ring. Isn't that fun? You will make a lot of new friends."

As if she remembered something interesting, Penelo smiled mischievously and said, "Of course, before you can easily answer the Eagle Ring question, don't put yourself in an extremely urgent situation. Believe me, the Eagle Ring at that time may very well be a natural chasm."

After explaining the details of the Eagle Ring, Penelope gently pushed the door of the common room. Since she had finished answering the questions, she did not encounter any obstacles. With a creak, the wooden door opened, and Penelope led the freshmen into the common room.

This is a large, academic, circular room filled with dreamy colors. The main color of the lounge is royal blue, followed by rich bronze, which is the symbolic color of Ravenclaw.

On the dome of the lounge, a beautiful starry sky painting shines as if it were real, and the dark blue carpet is also covered with stars, reflecting the sky in the distance.

In the lounge, there are comfortable tables and chairs, rows of bookshelves, and especially in the niche opposite the door, there is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw, a beautiful and intelligent woman, which exudes a strong Ravenclaw atmosphere.

All of this was a pleasant surprise for the first-year students...

At this time, Penelope began to explain her work conscientiously: "This is our Ravenclaw common room."

She walked to the window and said, "From here, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Hogwarts campus: the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch Field, and the Greenhouse. Students from other colleges cannot enjoy this kind of scenery."

Then she pointed at the stairs and continued, "The spiral staircase on the left leads to the girls' dormitory, and the spiral staircase on the right leads to the boys' dormitory. I would like to remind the confused juniors here that the girls' dormitory is an absolute forbidden area. Don't go in the wrong direction. Believe me, the consequences of entering the wrong direction are definitely not something you can bear."

As Penelope said this, she took out her magic wand and casually turned the cup on the table into a pair of scissors. Under the guidance of the magic wand, the scissors cut the whole banana into slices inch by inch in a moment.

The little boys present suddenly felt a chill in their lower body, while Yang Tian looked at Penelope with a strange expression.

Such a young girl, yet she knows so much, Yang Tian complained in his heart.

But he inadvertently saw Penelope looking at him with a playful expression and winking at him playfully.

With the banana getting shorter and shorter, Yang Tian was already in tears: You can warn me if you want, but why are you looking at me? Do I need to? A bunch of little brats, their hair hasn't even grown out yet, but they think too much.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Indignant, Yang Tian rolled her eyes at Penelope in protest.

Instead of being angry, Penelope was amused and started to giggle.

After thoroughly demonstrating the banana slicing technique, Penelope continued, "Our dean is Professor Filius Flitwick, who is also our professor of Charms. Don't underestimate him just because he is short, or because of the rare times he expresses his true emotions when he is excited. He is definitely the best and most knowledgeable Charms professor in the world."

"Of course, he is also the most beloved headmaster of the Ravenclaws. His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw who has a problem. Whether you are happy or not, you can talk to him."

"Oh, by the way, as a senior, I should introduce the extremely glorious history of Ravenclaw College, but I don't want to talk about it here. Because Ravenclaws are better at finding answers themselves. Let the Ravenclaws explore the history of Ravenclaw themselves."

"Finally, I want to say: Congratulations on becoming a member of the most intelligent, most exploratory, most inclusive and most interesting Ravenclaw House."

When the "fake" female class leader Penelope finished her seemingly casual yet carefully prepared introduction, she performed the chest-touching salute very casually, looked at Yang Tian meaningfully, and then turned and went into the girls' dormitory.

Yang Tian followed the crowd and entered the boys' dormitory. The dormitories had already been assigned, and the assignment list was thoughtfully posted at the entrance of the dormitory. Yang Tian quickly found his bed according to the instructions.

Maybe because there are fewer boys in Ravenclaw, the boys' dormitories are all double-room.

The boy who shared the same dormitory with him was a little boy named Terry Boot. He had dark skin that even shone, round eyes, and red lips. He was fat, and his face was shaped like a ball. However, his shoulders were broad, and his whole body looked very strong.

If Yang Tian had to find a word to describe it... it would be... festive.

Neither of them was introverted, so they quickly started chatting.

After chatting about all sorts of things for who knows how long, Yang Tian didn't even have time to say good night before falling into a deep sleep on the big bed covered with a sky blue silk quilt. He was really too sleepy...
