Chapter 126 126. Conversation with Ravenclaw

"fourth grade?"

Ravenclaw looked at Scott and commented: "Judging from your age, you are an excellent child."

"Thank you for your compliment."

Even Scott couldn't help feeling a little proud at this moment.

This is a compliment from the founder of the college.

And judging from the admissions conditions of Ravenclaw School, the founder lady is undoubtedly a person with high goals.

"I should say sorry to you." Ravenclaw said again, "Medea's matter... is a problem left over from our era, but it eventually affected you children."

Scott said nothing.

He didn't want to comment too much on this.

Ravenclaw didn't need his evaluation, she continued: "But I am glad that this matter still exists, because the outbreak of this matter forced my daughter Helena to muster up the courage to see me."

"Mother……"

Ms. Gray lowered her head with guilt.

"Don't be upset about it anymore, Helena."

Ravenclaw looked at her lovingly.

"My favorite daughter, I have been waiting here for a thousand years to tell you that you can forgive yourself for the mistakes you made when you were young."

"Mother……"

Ms. Gray raised her head, and her originally cold eyes seemed to have returned to the agility of the girlhood in the portrait.

"How lucky I am..."

She said choked with sobs.

Ravenclaw smiled softly, "Let's talk about Medea first."

When she turned her head to look at Scott, the expression on her face changed subtly.

The kindness and tenderness in her face changed to kindness and gentleness.

But Scott couldn't ignore her eyes. The softness in her eyes was just an appearance. Hidden beneath this appearance was bottomless wisdom and keen insight.

Scott knew something was wrong the moment he looked at her.

He didn't even have time to use Occlumency to build up a defense, and he instantly felt as if he was being seen through by the founder lady.

"Don't be nervous, kid, I can't access your memories."

Ravenclaw said to the horrified Scott.

"Your use of Occlumency is useless."

"The portrait you left behind is indeed not a simple portrait." Scott sighed helplessly.

He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

This time, it was really exciting.

"It's just a magic trick to see the essence of character, just like the Sorting Hat."

Ravenclaw smiled reservedly.

"Sorry, as a professor, I need to confirm your character."

You are truly worthy of being our Eagle Ancestor.

Scott thought.

This kind of style of going one's own way is really enough.

"I have to say that I appreciate a child like you." Ravenclaw added, "I hope you will continue to walk firmly on your own path."

"yes……"

Scott didn't even dare to look up.

At this time, Ms. Gray beside her suddenly burst into crisp laughter.

Scott turned to look at her in surprise.

"...You were lied to, Scott."

Ms. Gray put a hand over her mouth and smiled.

"Mom can't use any magic now. It's just the shocking effect caused by the magic circuit carved on the portrait!"

"Of course, Helena told me about your situation." Ravenclaw also said with a smile.

She shook her head, "Don't you understand? The traces of your use of Occlumency are too obvious. You can see it in your eyes."

"..."

Scott was speechless.

Why do you two thousand-year-old mothers and daughters bully me, an innocent 14-year-old boy?

"Let's talk about Medea."

Ravenclaw changed the subject.

"Although Salazar didn't ask us when he left, we all agreed to take care of Medea on his behalf."

Scott couldn't help but ask: "So, did Slytherin really leave Hogwarts to protect the school?"

Ravenclaw nodded, "Of course, this is just one aspect, on the other hand..."

She hesitated for a moment, then continued: "His magic research can no longer be carried out at Hogwarts. This is always a school."

"So that's it." Ms. Gray said a little unhappy, "At that time, Medea made many requests to me because of this!"

"That child..." Ravenclaw shook his head.

"Let me tell you!"

Ms. Gray showed an expression that could be called willful.

"I didn't want to say it originally."

Ravenclaw nodded.

"Tell me earlier, Medea is the same as me."

Ms. Gray said to Scott.

"We all have parents who are too dazzling. Although our own talents are not bad, there is no way we can reach the heights of our parents."

The Ravenclaw in the portrait looked helpless, "I never stipulated that you must become a powerful wizard, Helena."

"I know, mother." Ms. Gray turned to look at the portrait, "But I didn't understand this at the time."

She said to Scott again: "Let's talk about me first. At that time, I was jealous of my mother's wisdom, and I also longed to have my mother's wisdom and fame."

She began to reveal her scars, "At that time, I foolishly thought that my mother's wisdom only came from her crown, so I chose to steal the crown and escape from Hogwarts."

At this time, Scott didn't know what expression to put on.

He didn't have the confidence to act in front of Ravenclaw.

Even if it was just a portrait.

So he could only bow his head slightly and pretend to listen.

Fortunately, no one seemed to care about his expression.

Ms. Grey continued: "Later, I caused my mother to die of a serious illness, and I was punished myself. I didn't regret it until I died... This made me a ghost after death."

"You shouldn't bear my death on yourself, Helena." Ravenclaw said.

Ms. Grey shook her head.

"Medea is different from me in that she longs for her father's recognition."

She told Scott about Medea.

"She thinks Slytherin named her Medea because he hopes she will become a powerful witch, like the princess of Colchis."

Scott thought to himself that Slytherin was also unique.

Judging from the experience of the original owner of this name, the meaning of this name is not good.

"She misunderstood."

At this time, Ravenclaw explained.

"Salazar named her Medea, not because he wanted her to become a powerful witch like Medea..."

Her expression was a bit hard to describe.

"This is Salazar's weird taste. He hopes that his daughter will be as strong as Medea. Even if she is hurt in the future, she can still take revenge like Medea."

"..."

Scott agreed with her evaluation of Slytherin's taste.

Medea's revenge even killed her own children.

Ms. Grey's expression was also a little complicated.

But she continued: "In short, Medea herself thinks so. She is not as talented as me. She never gets any praise from Slytherin, and she is obsessed with this."
