027 Ravenclaw Towers

The first-year students of Ravenclaw followed a young man with short blonde hair through the noisy crowd, walked out of the restaurant and climbed the marble stairs toward the stairs.

The young man is Robert Hilliard, the chief of Ravenclaw. Hugo remembered something wrong before. He always thought that Penelo Crivat should be the chief, but in fact, senior Penelo is only a fourth-grade student now, so it is probably next year to be the chief of her superiors.

"Everyone must remember these moving stairs." Robert Hilliard said to the first-year students behind him while climbing the stairs. "Because the castle is big, if you go wrong, it is easy to be late for class."

"There are 142 stairs in Hogwarts in total. Some are wide and large; some are narrow and small, and shaky; some lead to different places every Friday; some are halfway up, and a stair will suddenly disappear, and you have to remember where you should jump over."

"In addition, there are many doors here. If you ask them to open them without being politely or poke them exactly, they will not open the door for you; some doors are not real doors at all, just a solid wall that seems to be a door-" Just as the chief instructed him to lead the way forward, Hermione whispered to Hugo and Venetto beside him, the contents he had seen in the book before.

Around them, many freshmen are also communicating with each other about the castle, school, Ravenclaw College or the homework they will study. From their discussions, Hugo also found that at least the students who can be selected for Ravenclaw love learning, and this can be seen from the content they communicate.

After all, if you haven't read the textbooks and a series of books in advance, at least half of the problems will be that you can't continue to discuss them as smoothly as you do now.

Because Ravenclaw's dormitory is located on the tower west of the castle, the distance is not very close. Seven or eight minutes later, everyone climbed to the top of the tower called Ravenclaw Tower. At this time, an ancient, smooth wooden board blocked it, with a huge eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it.

Chief Robert Hilliard stepped forward and grabbed the door knock and knocked it. The hawk's beak opened immediately, but did not make a bird cry, but said in a gentle, musical voice: "What's too much for two people, but one is just right?"

"Secret," Robert Hilliard replied. Then he turned his head to the first-year student who followed behind and said, "Unlike the fixed passwords of other colleges, our Lavenclaw's characteristic is the question asked by this eagle door knocker. Anyone who can answer the correct questions can enter their common room no matter which college he comes from. This is the open side of our college. However, there are only a handful of people who can enter our common room every year."

Hugo thinks this is probably because the wizarding world is a bit lacking in some aspects as a whole. For example, the Carlo brothers and sisters who were sent to Hogwarts to teach in the last year in the original text can be said to be not too bad in academic level, but they just have no way to answer the question raised by the door knocker.

Perhaps as Hermione said when facing Snape's level at the end of the first grade in the novel. Many of the greatest wizards do not have the slightest ability to reason.

Even so, Hugo still thinks that those fixed passwords may be better. Because from a security perspective, this way of answering questions will always bring some uncertainty to more private occasions like dormitories. What if a high-IQ criminal responds the question correctly and comes in to commit the crime?

Of course, this kind of thing is not something Hugo needs to consider. Not to mention that there are so many magical magic in this world. Maybe Lavenclaw's public lounge dares to do this because Hogwarts has another method that he is not clear about to ensure everyone's safety, such as being able to tell whether the people outside the door are their own people, and then giving those who are not in this academy a question that is basically impossible to answer.

Thinking of this, Hugo shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and then followed everyone into the common room of Ravenclaw.

A large circular room appeared before them after crossing the door of the public lounge, giving them a very ethereal feeling. Elegant arched windows were opened on the walls, with blue and bronze silk hanging.

The arched windows face the outside of the castle, and you can now see the starry sky and the large black shadows in the distance through the window. I think if you stand in the public lounge during the day, you should be able to see the surrounding mountains and a series of beautiful scenery.

The ceiling of the common room is a dome with stars painted on it and the dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars. There are tables, chairs, bookshelfs, and a tall white marble statue in the niche opposite the door. It is a marble statue of Ms. Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw College. Next to the statue is a door leading to the student dormitory above.

"I think with everyone's intelligence, I have learned a lot through various books before being assigned to our college, so I don't have to emphasize that it will delay everyone's rest time." After everyone walked to the clearing in front of the statue, Robert Hilliard said, "So you can rest now. The door of your dormitory has the names of each of you, and your luggage has been placed on the bedside. I wish you a good dream tonight."

Unlike in imagination, Hugo did not hear the welcome speech of Ravenclaw from the predecessor whom he saw on the official website in his previous life. But thinking about it, as a student of Ravenclaw who is very tolerant of aliens and pays more attention to everyone's independence, letting the predecessor Barabala say a lot of official articles is not at all. If you really want to say it, sending a welcome speech is more like something that Slytherin-like colleges that advocate order and class like to do.

After listening to the brief speech of the classmate, the freshmen in the first grade also walked into the door next to the statue. There was a fork in the door, with two signs hanging on it saying the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory. After saying good night to Hermione and Venetto, 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 lack of people in Ravenclaw himself and the strong and weak yin, the boys' dormitories here were all double rooms. Hugo's roommate was Michael Kona, a mixed-race black-haired wizard.

If his memory is not wrong, Michael Kona should have dated Ginny in the fourth grade, and waited for the fifth grade to break up before dating Zhang Qiu's Ravenclaw student. Considering that the above two are all beauties, there are many suitors around him. It can be inferred that his roommate should be a master with two tricks.

But at this time, neither of them was in a mood to chat with each other. After all, after waving on the train, after having another big meal. Now everyone just wants to lie in bed and have a good sleep.

So after a brief greeting and washing up in the bathroom, Hugo climbed onto the bed with four curtains and a sky blue flannel curtain hanging on it.
