The news about Grindelwald swept the wizarding world for a while, but it did not affect Hogwarts.

The students seemed to have no interest in this famous figure from seventy years ago. Compared to Grindelwald, they were more looking forward to the upcoming Quidditch trials.

It was said that the selection was personally hosted by the principal, and the sophomores couldn't wait any longer. The same was true for many first-year students.

Although school rules clearly state that first-year students are not allowed to participate in Quidditch, there are exceptions to everything.

For example, the famous Harry Potter, it is said that he showed great talent in Quidditch in his first grade, and was recruited into the team by Professor McGonagall, who was then the vice-president.

Coincidentally, the person in charge of the selection this year is still Headmaster Minerva McGonagall, which means that they also have the opportunity to join the team in the first year.

The professors are also looking forward to it. Due to various reasons, Quidditch was forced to stop for a long time. This time the game can be regarded as a real resumption.

There are not many entertainment activities in the wizarding world, and even fewer in schools. Watching students play Quidditch is also a favorite activity for many professors.

Everyone was waiting for the tryouts to begin, except Kyle, who was getting busier and busier.

After meeting Rita Skeeter last time, he came back and met Helena Ravenclaw.

After disappearing for a long time, she reappeared in Hogwarts Castle, still in the form of a ghost.

However, Ms. Grey used to have a gloomy personality, but now Helena is much more cheerful, even a little too cheerful.

When Kyle saw her, she was encouraging Nearly Headless Nick to perform a head-shaking dance in the first-year dormitory in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, Nick, who was almost headless, rejected her proposal, thus saving those poor freshmen from disaster.

Kyle asked her about Rowena Ravenclaw's news, but Helena did not answer. She just said in a deep voice:

"Remember? She is just a memory that has been preserved for a thousand years."

Kyle didn't ask any more questions after that.

Memories are not permanent. They are more fragile than ghosts. Perhaps Ravenclaw has the ability to keep her memory alive, but will she really do that? Kyle doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.

But Ravenclaw guessed what he wanted to ask.

Helena suggested that Kyle go to the school library, saying that everything he wanted to know was there, but Kyle needed to find it himself.

So during this period of time, Kyle basically went to the library whenever he had some free time, and he was more diligent than when he was in school.

At least now he doesn't need to come to the library at night, he can stay here all night openly.

Although it was very tiring, the gains were not small.

Kyle found two books that were not originally in the library but were new to the library.

After all, there had been no books signed by Rowena Ravenclaw in the library before.

The name was small and tucked away in the corner of the cover, but Kyle found it anyway.

The contents of these two books are exactly what Kyle needs most.

One of them was about magic runes. It was very complicated, more complicated than any magic book he had ever come across. He couldn't understand it for the time being.

The other book he could understand was a book about Horcruxes. It not only contained the specific process of making Horcruxes, but also recorded the several changes that Horcruxes had undergone during the Helper era.

Including changes in form and changes in concepts.

It was very useful, and exactly what Kyle needed most. After just a few days of watching it, he was able to easily stuff the layer of "gauze" wrapped around the stone into it.

On the day of the Quidditch tryouts, most students went to the Quidditch field to watch the fun, and the castle seemed particularly empty.

Kyle came out of the library.

Ravenclaw seemed to have only hidden two books here... Anyway, he couldn't find the third one.

The corridor outside was quiet, except for the faint sounds of laughter coming from far away upstairs.

"How is it? Are the things my mother prepared useful to you?" A voice came from the left.

Then, a translucent ghost with a pearly white color emerged from the wall.

"Very useful." Kyle turned his head, "Well...I want to ask, do you prefer me to call you Helena or Ms. Grey now?"

"As you wish."

"Then Helena." Kyle said, and he took out the book he found in the library. "Thank you, this is exactly what I need."

"You don't have to thank me. I have no credit for this," said Helena.

"Then please convey this to Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw for me."

"I will."

Helena's answer made Kyle pause slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I have to thank you, too." Helena said, "Before this, I didn't know how to face my mother.

"If you hadn't brought me directly to her, I might never have had the courage to face her."

"Well... Actually, you don't have to thank me." Kyle said, "I didn't do this to help you. To be honest, you were my gift to bribe Ms. Ravenclaw."

"I know, but that doesn't conflict with my thanking you." Helena smiled.

Kyle suddenly discovered that she looked much more beautiful when she smiled than when she had a gloomy face. She looked bright and sunny, and there was a bit of the intelligence unique to Ravenclaw between her brows.

It's like a different person...well, a ghost.

"By the way, can I ask you a question?" Kyle suddenly said, "Of course, this question may be a little offensive, if you mind..."

"Ask as much as you want." Helena curled her lips, "It's okay even if you want to know about Gryffindor's romantic affairs. I have a lot of information that others would never know."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. As the daughter of Ravenclaw and a contemporary of Gryffindor, she must have many unknown secrets.

For a moment, Kyle's heart was moved, but it was only a moment.

Although the Gryffindor gossip is fascinating, the character columns in The Quibbler are also very interesting.

Gryffindor is one of the permanent guests, and his deeds are enough to fill a book.

Although the news is 100% false, it is still very exciting. Maybe there are some true stories hidden among them.

Besides, that happened a thousand years ago, so it doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s true or not.

"I want to ask, why are you still here." Kyle looked at Helena. "I mean, I thought you would be with Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. You should have no reason to stay in Hogwarts now, so why are you still a ghost?"

"Of course it's because I'm a coward," Helena said without any hesitation.

I am like the other ghosts in this castle, cowardly, timid and ordinary, that's why I stole my mother's crown and now I am still a ghost.

Kyle was stunned.

Faced with Helena's straightforward words, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"The Bloody Baron is braver than I am." Helena spoke again, her voice very soft.

"He confessed to my mother, and one day after being forgiven... he disappeared."

"Have you forgiven him?" Kyle asked.

"I'll probably never forgive him," Helena said, "but there was a moment when it suddenly didn't matter."

"Without the Bloody Baron, if you happened to go to the dungeons last week, you might have attended the greatest ghost party Hogwarts has ever seen."

"Ghost party?" Kyle thought for a moment, "Who's celebrating their 500th birthday?"

"It's even grander than that," Helena murmured. "Every ghost's disappearance is worth holding a grand party. All the famous ghosts in Britain come, and the carnival lasts for a whole week."

"No wonder..." Kyle smacked his lips, "Recently the ghosts in the castle seem to have disappeared en masse, even Peeves hasn't appeared for a long time.

“I guess it should be the happiest one.”

"Peeves is really ecstatic," Helena said with a smile.

"So Slytherin doesn't have ghosts?"

"They can find another one. I think the Screaming Witch is good. At least the name is as suitable for Slytherin as the Bloody Baron."

…

As they talked, they walked downstairs.

This time, Helena seemed to want to thank Kyle for bringing her to Ravenclaw, and when she arrived at the entrance hall, she crawled into the wall.

According to Helena, she now just wanted to visit Hogwarts with a different mood, a mood that was completely different from before.

Kyle naturally supported her idea.

…

He then walked through the entrance hall and along the courtyard to the school hospital.

He had just been to the office but didn't find anyone, so he wanted to try his luck here.

When I opened the door, Professor Sassia was there, chatting about Quidditch with Madam Pomfrey.

Of course, the Quidditch that Pomfret talked about was somewhat different from that of others. She was more inclined to cancel this dangerous game. In this way, the injury rate at Hogwarts would definitely be reduced by more than half.

She brought it up again every year during Quidditch trials and matches, and right now, she was trying to persuade Professor Sassia and Connor to join her.

Just looking at Professor Sasia's expression, she didn't seem to agree with this view.

"Kyle, why are you here?" After seeing Kyle, she immediately stood up and changed the subject.

"Nothing, I just happened to pass by." Kyle said, and took out a stone intentionally or unintentionally.

When Professor Sasia saw the stone, her eyes flashed.

"Poppy, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Let's talk next time."

"Of course, of course," said Madam Pomfrey.

Professor Sasia nodded, stood up and left the school hospital.

Kyle and Connor followed closely behind.

The three of them came out into the courtyard.

Before Kyle could speak, Sassia said, "Did you succeed?"

"That's right." Kyle took out the stone again. "It's a real Horcrux. Even Voldemort wouldn't be able to find any flaws."

"But you couldn't do it so...perfectly a few days ago." Sassia frowned.

She knew Kyle was smart, but it was hard for her to believe that he could solve all the problems he had encountered in such a short time.

"I got a little help."

"Don't tell Rowena Ravenclaw..." Sasiya turned her head, "I won't believe it until I see the memory you mentioned."

"It's not memory, it's knowledge." Kyle took out a book.

Sasiya took it and flipped through two pages.

"You...didn't get enough rest last night?"

“Not bad.”

"Then why did you give me a blank sheet of paper?" Sasiya spread out the book.

Kyle looked over subconsciously and found that all the previous records had disappeared.

"Was there really something on it before?" Kanna asked softly.

"Yes." Kyle nodded, "But she doesn't seem to want too many people to see this part."

"Maybe it's the disappearing ink," said Connor.

She naturally believed Kyle, and she was also one of the few people who knew about the existence of Rowena Ravenclaw.

"Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes has this stuff, one Galleon per bottle, and the words written on it will disappear if the wind blows.

"Some students even use the excuse that their ink has been replaced to cover up their blank assignments."

"That may be the case," Kyle said. "But I can guarantee that when I read it, there was something in it, and it benefited me a lot.

"All the problems I encountered before can be found here. This is why I was able to create a perfect Horcrux so quickly."

Professor Sasia said nothing.

It's not that she didn't believe Kyle's words, but some things are really hard to accept in a short time if she can't see the truth.

Although her reason, knowledge and instinct did not believe that Rowena Ravenclaw could survive until now, she also did not believe that Kyle would lie about such a thing.

Moreover, that Horcrux stone is also real, it cannot be faked.

Sassia looked down at the stone in her hand. Regardless of whether there really was such a person as Ravenclaw, at least this thing could prove Kyle's ability.

"So you came to me this time because of Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom?"

"Yes." Kyle said, "I think it's time. If you don't think it's safe enough, I can do it again in front of the principal and professor."

"This is different from what you told me." Sasiya reminded: "In addition, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not agree with you making a Horcrux, even if you do it to save people."

"It doesn't matter. I know what to do." Kyle said, "It's just that the container that holds the soul is different. Whether it's stone, bone or something else, it's actually the same."

"One more thing."

"What?"

"I'm not the person you should be looking for." Sashia turned around and returned the stone in her hand to Kyle.

"Have you forgotten? I'm retired."

"The person you should be looking for right now is actually Mrs. Longbottom, or Mr. Longbottom."

Sassia glanced in the direction of the school greenhouse. "If I remember correctly, Pomona mentioned to me that she also found an excellent assistant teacher, and his last name happened to be Longbottom."
