Admiral of Hogwarts
027 Ravenclaw Tower
The first years of Ravenclaw followed a young man with short blond hair through the noisy crowd, walked out of the dining hall, and climbed the marble stairs upstairs.
The young male was Robert Hilliard, Prefect of Ravenclaw. Hugo had remembered something wrong before. He always thought that Penelope Clivat should be a prefect, but in fact Penelope is only a fourth-year student now, so she will probably become a prefect next year.
"Everyone must remember these moving stairs." Robert Hilliard said to the first-year students behind him as he climbed the stairs. "Because the castle is so big, it's easy to be late for class if you make a mistake."
"There are a total of one hundred and forty-two staircases in Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and large; some are narrow, small, and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; Somewhere halfway up, a step will suddenly disappear, and you have to remember where to jump.”
"In addition, there are many doors here. If you ask them to open rudely, or poke them in the right place, they will not open the door for you; some doors are not real doors at all, but just a block of doors that look like It's the solid wall of the door." Just as the prefect was leading the way after giving instructions, Hermione whispered to Hugo and Veneto beside her what she had read in the book before.
Around them, many first-year students were also communicating with each other about the castle, school, Ravenclaw House, or the lessons they were about to learn. From their discussions, Hugo also discovered that students who can be selected into Ravenclaw at least love learning, which can be seen from the content of their exchanges.
After all, if you had not read the textbooks and a series of books in advance, at least half of the problems would not be able to be discussed as smoothly as now.
Because Ravenclaw's dormitory is located in the tower on the west side of the castle, this journey is not very close. Seven or eight minutes later, everyone climbed to the top of the tower known as Ravenclaw Tower. At this time, an ancient, smooth wooden board stood there, with a huge eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it.
Prefect Robert Hilliard stepped forward, grabbed the door knocker and knocked it. The eagle's beak immediately opened, but instead of making a bird's call, he said in a soft, musical voice: "What can two people do?" Too many, but one person is just right.”
"Secret," replied Robert Hilliard. Then he turned to the first-year students who were following him and said: "Unlike the fixed passwords of other colleges, the characteristic of our Ravenclaws is the questions asked by this eagle knocker. Anyone who can answer the correct questions regardless of his Anyone from any college can enter our common room, which is the open side of our college. However, only a handful of people can enter our college’s common room every year.”
Hugo felt that this was probably because the wizarding world as a whole was a bit lacking in some aspects. For example, in the original article, the Carlo brothers and sisters who were sent to teach at Hogwarts in their last year can be said to be not too bad academically, but there is no way to answer the question raised by this knocker.
It might be like what Hermione said when she faced Snape at the end of her first year in high school. Many of the greatest wizards had no knack for logical reasoning.
Even so, Hugo still felt that those fixed passwords might be better. Because from a security perspective, this way of answering questions will always bring some uncertainty and danger to a relatively private situation like the dormitory. What if a highly intelligent criminal comes in and commits a crime by answering the questions correctly?
Of course, this kind of thing is not something Hugo needs to consider. Not to mention that there are so many amazing magics in this world. Maybe the Ravenclaw common room dares to do this because Hogwarts has another method that he doesn't know about to ensure everyone's safety, such as Being able to tell whether the person outside the door is one of our own, and then asking a group of people outside the academy a question that is basically impossible to answer.
Thinking of this, Hugo shook his head to get rid of these messy thoughts in his mind, and then followed everyone into the Ravenclaw common room.
After crossing the open door of the common room, a large circular room appeared in front of them. The whole room gave people a very ethereal feeling. Elegant arched windows hung on the walls, hung with blue and bronze silks.
The arched window faced the outside of the castle, and now through the window one could see the starry sky and the large black shadows in the distance. I thought that if it was daytime, standing in the common room, I should be able to see the surrounding mountains and a series of beautiful scenery.
The ceiling of the common room was a dome painted with stars, and the dark blue carpet below was also dotted with stars. There are tables, chairs, and bookshelves in the room. In the alcove opposite the door stands a tall white marble statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House. Next to the statue is a door that leads to the student dormitory above.
"I think everyone's intelligence should have already understood a lot of things through various books before they were assigned to our college, so I don't need to stress it again and delay everyone's rest time." Wait until everyone has arrived. Robert Hilliard said in the open space in front of the statue, "So everyone can rest now. Your dormitory door has each of your names, and your luggage has been placed by the bedside. I wish you a good night." Nice dream."
Contrary to what he expected, Hugo did not hear the prefect’s welcome speech from Ravenclaw that he had seen from the official website in his previous life. But think about it, as a Ravenclaw student who is very tolerant of heterogeneous people and pays more attention to everyone's independence, it is not Ravenclaw at all to let prefect Barabara speak a lot of official articles. If you really want to say it, giving a welcome speech is more like what Slytherin, a school that advocates order and class, likes to do.
After listening to the prefect's brief speech, the first-year students walked into the door next to the statue. Inside the door was a fork in the road, with two signs hanging respectively saying boys' dormitory and girls' dormitory. After saying good night to Hermione and Veneto, Hugo walked in from the stairs on the left.
Soon he found his dormitory and bed, and his luggage had been placed. Perhaps because of the small population of Ravenclaw itself and the strong yin and weak yang, the boys' dormitories here are all double rooms. Hugo's roommate is Michael Corner, a mixed-race black-haired wizard.
If his memory was correct, this Michael Corner should be the Ravenclaw student who dated Ginny in fourth year and then dated Qiu Zhang after they broke up in fifth year. Considering that the above two are both beauties, there are many suitors around them. It can be inferred that my roommate should be a master with two brushes.
But at this time, neither of them was in the mood to chat with each other. After all, they had walked all the way on the train and had a big meal. Now everyone just wants to lie in bed and have a good sleep.
So after saying a simple hello and washing up in the bathroom, Hugo climbed into his own bed with four pillars and sky blue flannel curtains.
The bed was soft and comfortable, so after closing his eyes, he quickly fell asleep to the sound of the wind blowing in front of the window.
