Chapter 185 185. How to use the crown

"You'd better think about it, Jacob."

Scott said.

"Come to me again when you think it through. Of course, I won't break my promise."

He stood up, waved casually, and left the classroom.

After closing the classroom door and listening to the suppressed sobs coming from inside, Scott shook his head.

This is how you act like an 11-year-old child.

I'm still old enough to celebrate Children's Day.

Seriously, Scott doesn't want to see another Travers emerge.

Even if he himself is a pseudo-teenager with past life memories, he will panic when he sees other children who are too mature and sophisticated.

It's Monday night soon.

Scott was notified and came to Professor Flitwick's office.

"Good evening, Professor."

Scott said hello and sat on the sofa consciously.

"There you are, Scott!"

Professor Flitwick jumped down from the chair behind his desk, pacing back and forth in the office as if he couldn't contain his excitement.

"The time agreed upon by Ms. Ravenclaw is today." He couldn't help but mutter, "When Albus comes, we will go there together."

"Okay." Scott responded.

Although he sat firmly, he was actually a little excited inside.

Not because of Ravenclaw's diadem.

But because after today, it means that he has completed two tasks from Ms. Ravenclaw, and it is time to collect the reward.

He was about to have a magical portrait with most of the knowledge of Ravenclaw himself as his full-time dedicated professor.

It was certainly more precious to Scott than the Ravenclaw diadem itself.

Even if the crown is magical, it is only a magic item.

Today, its symbolic significance has far outweighed its practical significance.

No matter what, the crown definitely belongs to Ravenclaw House in the end.

Since it couldn't possibly belong to him, Scott didn't care about it.

At this moment, he was already thinking about what valuable knowledge he could learn from Ravenclaw.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk...

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Professor Flitwick quickly ran over and opened the door.

"Oh! Albus, you're here!"

His voice was a little sharp because of the uncontrollable excitement.

Scott also immediately stood up and walked to the door.

"Good evening, Filius, Scott." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Let's set off."

The three of them walked through several corridors and arrived at the Room of Requirement.

Scott opened Helena's study again.

"Good evening."

In the study, Helena in the painting smiled at the three of them.

"You came just in time."

She looked very happy.

“The Mother has purified the crown.”

The inner door appeared, Helena disappeared from the portrait, and then her voice came from the door.

"Please come in."

Outside the door, Dumbledore smiled and stepped aside, gesturing for Professor Flitwick to go in first.

Professor Flitwick adjusted his tie and robe, and solemnly opened the door.

The door opened, and Scott and Dumbledore walked in, followed by Professor Flitwick.

The interior was still empty, with only the paintings of Ravenclaw and Helena on the wall, and the crown on the floor.

After the three people entered the door, their eyes were attracted by the crown that had become dazzling.

"Good evening." Ravenclaw smiled and looked at the three people who entered. "As you can see, the crown has returned to its original appearance."

Professor Flitwick came to his senses and quickly bowed to the Ravenclaw in the portrait.

"Good evening, my dear Lady Ravenclaw."

Seeing that the dean had already bowed, Scott quickly followed suit.

"No need to be polite." Ravenclaw said softly, "From now on, the crown will be stored in Ravenclaw College, and the dean of the college will be responsible for safekeeping."

"This..." Professor Flitwick said excitedly, "This is your item."

Ravenclaw shook his head, "I no longer have any use for it, so let it stay in the academy to provide help to the children in need. Of course, it is up to you, the dean, to decide how to use it."

Having said this, she looked at Dumbledore again.

"What do you think? Mr. Principal."

"Of course." Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "Everything will follow your arrangements, Ms. Ravenclaw."

"In that case, just take it and leave." Ravenclaw said.

Professor Flitwick nodded, walked to the middle of the room and knelt down, carefully holding the crown in his hands.

The Ravenclaw in the portrait said nothing more, just watched them leave.

Scott wanted to ask about himself, but he held back.

Since Ravenclaw didn't mention it, he might as well hide it.

As the last person to leave the inner room, he looked back.

Ravenclaw blinked at him.

Scott suddenly felt more confident, and he decided to wait until no one was around and come again by himself.

The three of them quickly returned to Professor Flitwick's office.

Professor Flitwick solemnly placed the crown on his desk, cushioning it with a piece of soft blue velvet.

"Have you got any ideas, Filius?"

Dumbledore asked him.

"This matter cannot be hidden. Many people in the magical world will be curious about the crown."

"oh!"

Professor Flitwick seemed to be waking up from a dream.

"this……"

He thought for a while and said firmly: "I will keep the crown safe. No one else can touch this treasure except the children of Ravenclaw!"

"Of course I believe you."

Dumbledore said.

"Of course, I will also help you resist pressure from the outside world."

"Thank you, Albus!" Professor Flitwick said gratefully.

Dumbledore added: "But you must be careful when using the crown. It is not entirely a good thing for students to come into contact with such magical items hastily."

Professor Flitwick didn't turn around for a while, "What should I say?"

"Just like before every exam, there are always students in Hogwarts who secretly take magic potions like Buffy's Brain Refresher. Students can't resist this temptation."

Dumbledore said slowly.

"We cannot allow students to become dependent on magic items like diadems that increase wisdom. That will not do them any good."

Professor Flitwick nodded repeatedly.

"You're right, you're right, I have to be careful." He muttered.

He thought for a while and then said: "I will announce that only students with mature minds and good conduct can apply for it."

Dumbledore nodded and added: "It must be used under your care and cannot be taken away from your office."

Professor Flitwick agreed.

"Of course, it's up to you to decide the specific rules. After all, you are the dean of Ravenclaw House."

Dumbledore said another word before saying goodbye and leaving.

As soon as he left, Professor Flitwick became excited again.

"Oh! Legend has it that this crown can increase wisdom. This is unimaginable."

He walked around the desk.

"I think we both could give it a try, Scott."

At this moment, he was acting like a child.
