Chapter 71 Visiting Ravenclaw at Night (Part 2)
Stimulated by this cold power, Mike's sanity began to return quickly. The blue sea of light that Mike was in gradually became unstable. The blue lights were no longer stable as before, but began to look like aurora. Twisted and elongated.
The figure of the woman in front of her also began to become distorted and faded. She seemed to sense something and became very eager, reaching out her hand to grab Mike.
At this moment, the raven on the woman's shoulder once again let out a shrill crow. As the crow's cry reached Mike's ears, the figure of the woman in front of him seemed to become much more solid.
The icy-cold power in his body seemed to sense Mike's crisis at this time, and condensed from his limbs toward Mike's chest, eventually converging into an ice dragon and heading straight for Mike's brain.
The ice dragon was raging in his mind, and Mike felt that his head was about to explode. He screamed in pain, and with this scream, the woman's body, which had become somewhat solid, quickly dissipated. .
She seemed to feel that the situation was over, so she put down her hand that wanted to grab Mike, and stared at Mike with her blue eyes.
Her eyes at this moment were not as loving as before. There was astonishing resentment in her eyes, and she seemed to have endless grievances that she wanted to tell Mike. Mike's scalp was numb at the sight of her. Fortunately, the woman and the raven on her shoulder quickly turned into nothingness.
As the woman disappeared, the sea of blue light in front of him also quickly dispersed. The light around Mike quickly dimmed, and finally returned to the appearance of the Ravenclaw lounge.
Mike was panting heavily, with cold sweat covering his head and face. Looking up, he was less than one meter away from the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, and the light door on the statue had been silently closed at this moment.
Until now, Mike still didn't know what had just happened. The light door just now had the ability to confuse other people's minds, and he was almost lured into the light door. There is also that woman with a crown on her head and a raven on her shoulders. Is that Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw?
It shouldn't be possible, right? Whether it is in "Hogwarts - A School History" or in the mouths of those ghosts, Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is described as powerful and kind. Mike can't compare her with the one just now. A woman who tried to seduce him into entering the Light Gate was associated with him.
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Mike knew that he had no time to think about these things now, the danger had not dissipated yet.
The blackthorn wood wand had quietly appeared in Mike's hand. Mike held the wand and observed the surroundings vigilantly. The cold force that pulled him out of the illusion just now definitely came from the real world, and maybe the person who helped him was nearby.
No matter what purpose he had in helping him, that person must know something about the Light Gate, and he must be found out and questioned clearly.
In the Ravenclaw lounge, the moonlight shining through the arched window has changed its angle. It seems that he must have been immersed in the illusion for a long time, so that the position of the moon has changed.
All the portraits on the wall of celebrities have fallen asleep. Even Lockhart, who likes to show off the most, has fallen asleep and is lying next to the frame, crying.
Other than that, everything in the Ravenclaw lounge was exactly the same as before Mike fell into the illusion. Mike scratched his head, still uneasy, and began to carefully search every corner of the Ravenclaw lounge.
However, Mike checked the entire Ravenclaw lounge and found nothing suspicious. Looking at the brightening sky outside the window, Mike could only return to his dormitory.
It wasn't long before dawn, so Mike simply stopped sleeping and lay in bed thinking about tonight's events.
Everything tonight was weird, starting with the light door. Mike has no intention of entering the light door. He is a cautious person. The origin of the light door is still unclear. Even if it is likely to contain Ravenclaw's treasure, Mike will not take the risk. Enter.
But what I didn't expect was that the light door actually had the power to confuse people's hearts. If a mysterious person hadn't come to help tonight, I would have been inside that light door without knowing whether to live or die.
Mike felt miserable when he thought about how easily someone had deceived his mind. If he could learn Occlumency, the situation would definitely be much better. However, during the summer vacation, Mike had to practice Occlumency almost every night, but every night he They all fall asleep easily, as if it is not Occlumency training at all, but a trance method that helps sleep.
After spending a month without finding the secret to Occlumency, Mike was very distressed. Did he really not have the talent to practice Occlumency? The deceptive power of opening the light door is very likely to appear again next time. It seems that I will definitely miss that light door before I completely learn Occlumency.
There was also the woman in the fantasy. No matter how he looked at it, Mike felt that the woman looked like Rowena Ravenclaw. The crown on her head is the best proof. Ravenclaw's crown is the most treasured treasure of Hogwarts. Although it is nominally living outside, Mike knows very well that it is hidden in the Room of Requirement at this time.
Mike even ran to look for it before, but as soon as he got close to the crown and before he reached out to touch Mike, he felt a very evil force tempting him to wear the crown. He was so scared that he immediately escaped from the Room of Requirement, and Now it seems that the power of Voldemort's remnant soul is far inferior to that of that woman.
Although he did not get the crown, Mike could see the appearance of the crown clearly, so he was sure that the crown on the head of the woman in the illusion was definitely the legendary Ravenclaw's crown.
But what if that woman is really Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw and she is so eager to walk into the light door? Even the methods of demagoguery were used.
The weirdest thing tonight is the cold force that pulls him out of the illusion. Why is he willing to help him but unwilling to show up?
Mike rubbed the greed pendant around his neck, his mind was in chaos, and he felt as if he was trapped in a big conspiracy.
Unknowingly, it was already bright outside the window. Looking at the light coming in through the cracks in the curtains, Mike jumped out of bed and could only take one step at a time.
Thanks to his strong mental power, not sleeping for one night has little impact on Mike. If necessary, Mike can even maintain a high state of energy for three days and three nights, but he will have to be weak afterwards. A while.
But there were too many things that happened last night, and Mike still felt a little depressed. He ran to the toilet and wiped his face with cold water, which made him sober up.
After cheering up, Franklin came to the restaurant. When Franklin saw Mike coming in, he waved to Mike and motioned for him to sit here.
Compared with yesterday's dinner, this morning's meal was simply heaven and earth. A loaf of bread, a glass of milk and a plate of mashed potatoes. Mike sat on the seat reserved for him by Franklin and looked at the breakfast in front of him without any appetite.
Franklin didn't care so much and wolfed down all the food in front of him. Every morning was the time for owls to deliver letters. If he didn't hurry up and finish his breakfast, when the owl army arrived, it would be inevitable that something would appear on his plate. Some owl feathers and guano.
Franklin's guess was correct. As soon as he wiped out the food in front of him, the letter-delivering owls flew into the restaurant one after another. They hovered over the restaurant for a while and then dropped the letters they wanted to deliver after finding the recipient. Of course, some feathers and bird droppings were thrown down with the letters.
Mike's milk and mashed potatoes suffered a disaster. Looking at the piece of feather floating in the milk and the indescribable thing in the mashed potatoes, Mike shook his head. It seemed that these two things were inedible. Fortunately, the bread was hidden in Mike's arms when the owl army first appeared, so he did not suffer any disaster.
The army of owls came and went as quickly as they came. Except for a few extremely cheeky ones who were still stealing the little wizards' breakfast on the dining table, the rest flew back to the Owl House next to Ravenclaw Tower. , flying all night, these owls need a good sleep.
As soon as the owls left, a deafening roar came from the Gryffindor table:
"...stealed the car, and I wouldn't be surprised if they kicked you out of school. You'd be in good shape if I caught you. I don't think you ever thought your parents would find out." How worried would I be if my car disappeared..."
Mike was startled by the sound, and he almost lost his grip on the bread in his hand.
Franklin on the side saw this and came to Mike and said quietly: "You don't know yet, do you? Harry and Ron stole Mr. Weasley's Flying Car to come to school last night. We have seen that car before."
Mike nodded calmly, motioning for him to continue.
"Unfortunately, they didn't have a driver's license. In the end, they failed to land and crashed into the whomping willow in the school. I heard that the whomping willow is an extremely rare magic tree, and the professors in the school were mad. "Franklin's voice became louder and louder, "But even if they made such a serious mistake, the two of them didn't get a single point deducted, and the punishment they received was just detention? Of course, I don't mean that I hope Harry and Ron will be punished. A heavier punishment. It’s just that Professor McGonagall is too partial to her students, and even deducting 100 points for this kind of mistake is not an exaggeration.”
Franklin's words instantly resonated with the surrounding students. Everyone began to discuss last night's incident. They were all very dissatisfied with Professor McGonagall's favoritism towards Harry and Ron. Seeing how indignant they all were, they wished they could go to Deng Xiaoping right now. Principal Bullydo protested.
