Chapter 502 Another New Year

Levin and Padma led the freshmen at Ravenclaw, climbing all the way up the seemingly endless stairs. They went up to the eighth floor, walked through a long corridor, then continued up, and walked up a long spiral staircase. Afterwards, many young wizards have begun to regret being selected into Ravenclaw.

Finally, after ascending a seemingly endless spiral staircase, they saw an old wooden board at the end of the stairs with an eagle-shaped door knocker hanging on it. This was the entrance to the Ravenclaw lounge.

However, just when Levin thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, these freshmen suddenly became restless.

After they finally made sure that no professor was watching them, all their suppressed excitement and anticipation burst out, and they surrounded Levin one after another.

"Senior Levin, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?" A little wizard held up a quill and parchment, looking at Levin expectantly.

"Senior Levin, you are so famous academically, you must know what egg divination is all about, right?" Another young wizard asked curiously.

Levin was caught off guard by these questions. He didn't expect these freshmen to be so enthusiastic about him.

He looked around and saw the admiration and curiosity shining in the eyes of the little wizards, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

The little wizards had too many weird questions. In addition to the one who just asked about egg divination - which is a method of divination by breaking eggs - he also heard someone asking him if lizard people were real. , questions such as whether 2012 is really the end of the world are obviously deeply poisoned by "The Quibbler".

For a moment, Levin thought he was asking for trouble by investing in The Quibbler.

So, he had no choice but to take the quill with a smile and start signing autographs for the freshmen.

At the same time, he also tried to answer some "normal" questions as much as possible, trying to avoid topics that were too bizarre.

However, the freshmen's problems seem to never end. They gathered around Levin, chattering away as if he were the most knowledgeable person in the world and could answer a hundred thousand whys.

When the old students of Ravenclaw saw this scene, they all showed unsurprised expressions. They gloated and joked a few words, then returned to the common room one after another. Only Zhang Qiu and Luna remained where they were, waiting quietly for Levin and

Seeing this scene, Parvati wanted to step forward to help, but the crowd of freshmen was so dense that she couldn't squeeze in at all.

She looked around anxiously, looking for a way to help them out of their predicament.

At this moment, Zhang Qiu's voice suddenly sounded:

"【Guardian Guard】!"

As the sound fell, a huge Sphinx, emitting silver light, flew over.

Its appearance made the little wizards panic, thinking it was some powerful offensive spell, and they fled away one after another.

However, when the Sphinx flew beside them, the little wizards were surprised to find that close contact with this mysterious creature actually made them feel an inexplicable warmth and joy.

They stopped one after another and looked at the Sphinx blankly, their eyes full of awe and curiosity.

This is Zhang Qiu's patron saint.

Since acquiring the magical Animagus, the patron saint she summoned has changed from a swan to a sphinx with a scorpion tail.

Then, the patron saint spoke: "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."

The Sphinx hovered in the air for a while, and then slowly spoke, its voice revealing Zhang Qiu's gentle and melodious tone:

"Extraordinary intelligence is mankind's greatest wealth."

It continued, "Congratulations! I am the prefect of the sixth grade, Zhang Qiu. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Ravenclaw Academy. Our emblem is an eagle, soaring high to the unreachable peak; our The colors are sky blue and silver; our common room offers a panoramic view of Hogwarts through the round window: the lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the greenhouses. These views are only available to us Ravenclaw students. Happy to appreciate it.

The little wizards finally restored order, and Padma breathed a long sigh of relief.

She looked at Zhang Qiu, her eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.

She had always known that Zhang Qiu was excellent, but the level of magic that Zhang Qiu showed today still surprised her.

"Zhang Qiu, your [Patron Saint Curse] is so powerful!" Padma admired sincerely, "I have never seen anyone who can make the Patron Saint speak. How did you do it?"

Zhang Qiu smiled slightly and said modestly: "Actually, it's nothing. I just need to practice more and gain some understanding of magic."

After hearing this, Padma knew that there was nothing she could ask. Which wizard in the Erudite Society would not practice diligently? Which wizard would not pay attention to the understanding of magic?

In the Erotic Society, 60% of the young wizards who can successfully cast the Patronus Charm have reached 60%, but she has only seen Zhang Qiu who can make the Patronus speak. She suddenly thought of Levin and guessed that he could also do this, but she had never seen him use the advanced form of the Patronus Charm.

In fact, Levin rarely appears in the Erudite Society anymore, and the know-it-all Hermione Granger is usually in charge.

As Hermione and Zhang Qiu learned more and more about arcane magic, Levin began to give them even the lessons of Class Three. And he only needs to write the teaching materials.

Taking advantage of Zhang Qiu's help in maintaining order, Padma calmed down and began her routine introduction as a prefect. She pointed to the lounge door not far behind her, with a hint of pride in her voice:

"This is where the brightest witches and wizards live. Our founder, Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, placed learning first and foremost. Therefore, we do not need to set up hidden common rooms like other colleges. Room entrance."

With that said, Padma walked to the door of the lounge and pointed to the eagle-shaped bronze knocker on the door.

"As you can see, our common room door has no handle and has an enchanted bronze eagle knocker. When you knock on the door, the eagle knocker will ask you a question. If you can answer the question correctly, you will Allowed to enter. For nearly a thousand years, no one except the real Ravenclaw could pass through this simple barrier--except, of course, the wizards of Ravenclaw who personally brought it in."

…Please give me flowers…

Parvati noticed that some young wizards began to show timid looks in their eyes, and immediately encouraged her gently: "I know that some first-year students may be afraid of the Eagle Ring's questions, but please don't worry. Our Ravenclaw Students are great learners and you will quickly learn to enjoy the challenges of the Eagle Ring setting."

She paused and continued: "Imagine that twenty or so people stood at the door of the common room, working together to answer the questions of the day. How meaningful this is. In fact, this is not the case for Ravenclaw. Rarely, this is not only an opportunity to show your wisdom, but also a good time to get to know Ravenclaw students from other grades. You can learn from them and make progress together."

Parvati smiled, with an encouraging light in her eyes: "Of course, when you forget to bring your Quidditch uniforms because you are in a hurry and need to go in and out of the lounge, you may find this challenge a bit annoying. So, I suggest that you Before leaving Ravenclaw Tower, double-check your bags to make sure you haven't missed anything important."

After saying this, Parvati knocked lightly on the door of the lounge.

The eagle's beak immediately opened, but it did not make a bird call, but made a gentle, musical sound,

"Phoenix or fire, which one comes first?"

Padma was speechless for a moment. She actually didn't think of the answer right away.

Usually when she enters the door alone, she is occasionally stopped by the question of the eagle ring, which requires her to think for a long time, and sometimes she even needs help from others to enter the lounge.

"Well... what do you think?" She pretended to leave the challenge to the freshmen, and turned to them and asked, "What is the answer?"

The freshmen thought about what Padma had just said, and all of them started thinking, and there was silence in front of the door.

After a while, no one gave the answer, and finally someone got impatient.

"Levin, it seems you have to be busy for a while, we will see you tomorrow." Zhang Qiu broke the silence, then looked at the door knocker, "The answer is a cycle with no starting point.

"It makes sense." Eagle Huan's voice responded gently, and then the door slowly opened.

After hearing this answer, the freshmen all showed expressions of understanding.

Zhang Qiu took Luna's hand, and the two walked quickly inside. Before leaving, Luna turned back and waved to Levin.

Padma watched the two people leaving and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the awkward silence just now, she almost couldn't help but want to ask Ye Wen, who had been watching her "performance", to answer Ying Huan's question.

Now, she could finally focus on guiding these freshmen into the lounge.

"Hurry up, you will have to deal with this door for a long time in the future." Padma didn't want to waste any more time, greeted the freshmen and entered the common room.
