It can be seen that Helena seemed more incredible than Kyle about being able to wear the crown.
"What on earth is going on..."
Helena looked at Kyle, and just as she was about to say something, her pearly white body trembled violently, and her face was filled with shock, fear, and disbelief.
Then, in a panic, she tried to take the crown off her head, but her hand went right through it.
"Don't be nervous, Helena."
Kyle smiled and said, "Didn't you want me to help you pass a message to your mother? It just so happens that Ms. Ravenclaw also has something to say to you."
"As for me, I'm not very familiar with the working procedures of Owl, so I can't do things like delivering messages. It would be bad if I forget a sentence.
"So, I took it upon myself to trick you here. I hope you can understand."
Helena didn't say anything, but tears of the same pearly white color flowed from her eyes.
The tears fell to the ground, then turned into a cloud of misty smoke and floated back into Helena's body.
"We haven't seen each other for over a thousand years. You must have a lot to talk about... Then I won't bother you."
Kyle walked to the door, opened it and walked out.
"Oh, right?" He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, "If you need anything, just call Tata... He is the house elf here. As long as you call his name in this manor, he will be able to hear it."
After saying that, Kyle gently closed the door.
As the oak door was closed, the sound from inside completely disappeared.
Although Kyle was also curious about the gossip in the Ravenclaw family, now was obviously not the time to eat melons, and they probably didn't want an outsider standing next to them while they were talking.
Kyle walked along the corridor and soon returned to the lobby of the manor.
Tata was wiping the crystal ornaments on the table with a piece of velvet cloth. When he saw Kyle, he immediately stopped his work and bowed to greet him.
"Don't worry about me, Tata." Kyle said. He looked around and found that there were only Tata and himself here.
"Is Madam Perenelle also helping Nico make the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Yes, the hostess is also helping." Tata replied.
"All right."
Kyle found a chair and sat down while Tata continued to wipe the crystal ornaments.
After a few hours, there was still no movement in the room. Both Nico and Ravenclaw seemed to have forgotten he was still there.
Lunch was prepared by Tata. It was rich but also very quiet.
Because he was the only one eating at the long dining table, Nico and Perenel did not come out. According to Tata, they had been eating in the alchemy room recently.
As for the two people in the room, a ghost and a memory, they obviously didn't need to eat either.
The only piece of tartare left disappeared after the last dessert was served.
It wasn't until Kyle had eaten his fill that he suddenly reappeared in the corner of the room.
A few hours later, Kyle was getting bored waiting, so he just stood up and asked, "Tata, can I go to the opera room upstairs?"
They haven't seen each other for more than a thousand years, and the topic between Helena and Ravenclaw is unlikely to end in a short while. He has to find something to do.
Listening to opera is a good way to pass the time. Although Kyle doesn't understand it, there seems to be no better place to go.
However, after hearing this, the elf immediately became alert. He still remembered that Kyle and Dumbledore had discussed dismantling the room and taking it away.
"The master said that you can go to any room here."
Tata said, and then added, "But sir, you can't destroy the house. There is a spell from the owner here. If you try to destroy the wall, sir will get hurt."
"I just went to listen to an opera, why did I have to destroy the wall?" Kyle asked puzzledly, not understanding what Tata meant.
"No, nothing, Tata was just talking casually... I'll take you there right away." The elf quickly put down the velvet in his hand and took Kyle to a room upstairs.
The place was still empty as before. Kyle walked to the wall opposite the door with ease and pressed a symbol on it.
In almost the blink of an eye, a large band appeared in the empty room.
"ghost?"
Tata's body trembled visibly.
"Sir, you must be joking with Tata. There are no ghosts here. Tata knows..." He said tremblingly, and Kyle could even clearly hear the clicking sound of his teeth colliding.
"Are you... afraid of ghosts?" Kyle couldn't help but ask.
"Tata is not afraid!" the elf said shrilly, "Tata just...just, doesn't like them."
"All right then," Kyle said, without calling the elf out on his self-deception.
It's just fear of ghosts, nothing to be surprised about. Most freshmen behaved no better than Tata when they first saw the ghosts at Hogwarts.
"Okay," Kyle continued, "If you hear someone calling you, just come to me. Don't be afraid. That ghost is also Nico's guest and won't scare you."
When Tata heard the word "guest", he suddenly became less afraid. Although he still looked very nervous, at least his teeth stopped chattering.
"That ghost...guest, when will he come to see Tata..."

"I'm not sure about that." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "It could be today, or it could be tomorrow, I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be too long.
"If you are scared, you can stay with me for the next two days. If you find anything unusual, you can tell me immediately."
"Tata is not afraid." The elf said with his neck stiff, but he still refused to leave the room.
Kyle shook his head in amusement and said nothing more. He took out his wand and conjured up a chair for himself and Tata respectively, and then sat on them to enjoy the opera performance in the room.
…
However, Kyle listened to this for the whole day.
Then the next day passed, but there was still no sign of the oak door opening.
Every time they ate, Kyle was always the only one at the table.
"Wait, they haven't really forgotten me yet." Kyle thought to himself.
Looking at the empty dining table and hall, he suddenly had an illusion that he was the owner of this manor.
Finally, after breakfast on the third day, Kyle stopped Tata who was about to leave.
"Could you please find me a mirror?"
"Of course no problem." Tata nodded and said, "What kind of mirror do you need, sir?"
“A regular mirror will do, but one that’s bigger and preferably has a wooden frame,” Kyle said.
Soon, Tata found the mirror he wanted. It was similar to the Mirror of Erised in the principal's office, just the right size, and had a rowan wood frame on the outside.
Kyle asked Tata to put the mirror in an empty room, and then he followed in.
He originally thought that Helena and Ravenclaw would only chat for a day or two at most, but now it seems that it might take a week or two.
There were also Nico and Perenelle, neither of whom had any intention of leaving the alchemy room.
Although the opera is really good, you can't listen to it for two weeks.
More importantly, everyone is busy. If you don't find something to do, others will think you have too much free time...
So Kyle decided to find something for himself to do, such as trying to make a magic item... the mirror he saw in the room before that could store Nico's memories.
Because of the crown, the magic formulas and symbols engraved on the mirror are no longer as difficult to understand as before. In addition, Kyle also clearly remembers the function and position of each magic rune.
Although it is quite difficult for Kyle to completely reproduce these magic runes after losing the blessing of the crown, he still wants to give it a try. After all, he has nothing to do and what if he succeeds?
Oh yes, there is also the spell "Fire God Opens the Way". After discovering the problem, he also planned to practice it again to see if there is any difference from before.
I can ask Tata later if there is a spacious and solid place here where he can use this spell with confidence.
