Chapter 129 The Passerby Who Didn't Get the Owl in Harry Potter 6
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, Zhang Qiu looked at her with pity in her eyes. Jiang Yue's lips twitched. Was she stupid? Why did she have to tell her this? She could have just said that she hadn't gone back. After the meal, the class leaders took the freshmen of their respective colleges back to their dormitories.
Along the way, we saw moving staircases, moving and talking portraits. The Ravenclaw common room is located on the top floor of the tower of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or more precisely, at the top of the spiral staircase on the west side of Hogwarts, probably on the 5th floor. Outside the common room is a large door with a bronze eagle-shaped door knocker.
To enter the lounge, one must answer the logic riddle posed by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker. If the answer is wrong, there is no second chance; one can only stand aside and wait for others to answer correctly before entering together. When the prefect reached the bronze door, a voice came from inside the door knocker: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"
While the other junior wizards were still pondering, Jiang Yue had already figured out the answer, but she didn't want to show off and cause trouble. After a while, the prefect spoke up: "The answer is people!"
"Correct answer!" At the same time, the bronze door slowly opened, and the prefect said to the young wizards, "The door knocker asks more than one question; it mainly tests your logic and reasoning abilities."
As they walked, the class leader said, "The questions raised by the Bronze Gate have been constantly updated and iterated. If you think you can memorize all the questions and answers, you're dreaming."
Stepping into the lounge, a refreshing atmosphere greets you. The interior is decorated primarily in blue and bronze tones, with silk curtains hanging on the walls that complement the star patterns on the dome, creating a tranquil and profound ambiance.
In the center of the lounge, there are several comfortable sofas and chairs for students to rest and chat.
In addition, there is a private library in the lounge, which is said to have a collection second only to the Hogwarts Library.
The common room is circular, with arched windows overlooking the school's playground, the Great Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, and Professor Sprout's herb garden. It can be said that the Ravenclaw common room has the best view on campus.
Beside the door leading to the dormitory stands a tall statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw College, made of white marble.
The upperclassmen had already returned to their dorms. The prefect led everyone on a tour of the common room. After the introductions were finished, the prefect gathered everyone together and said, "The boys' dorms are on the left, and the girls' dorms are on the right. Your luggage has been taken up there. If you don't know the way tomorrow, remember to ask an upperclassman for help. Everyone should also hurry up and memorize the map. Walk around more when you have free time. I believe that this is not a problem for us Ravenclaw students."
As soon as the class monitor finished speaking, everyone scattered. Jiang Yue found the dormitory assignment list and successfully met up with her roommates Eve and Eileen. She found her dormitory and pushed open the door. Wow! The first thing that caught her eye was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Under the window were three beds in total. Blue silk curtains hung like a waterfall next to the arched window, and there were fresh flowers on the side of the bed.
The open space in the middle of the house was carpeted, and everyone's luggage was piled on the floor. There were three wardrobes on the right side, which could store everyone's clothes and belongings. There were also spare shoes placed at the door, which was very thoughtful. No wonder Ravenclaw's lounge and dormitory are said to be the best.
The three of them tidied up their clothes. Jiang Yue cleaned them all up, so the clothes she had changed out of didn't need to be washed. Then she helped her two roommates have sex. Although the clothes didn't need to be washed, they still needed to take a hot bath after sitting on the train all day.
The three of them took their clothes and went downstairs to the bathroom. There was one problem with this place: the toilet and shower were in the same area, with the bathtub on the left and the toilet on the right. They were a bit too close. But thankfully, the smell from the other side couldn't be smelled from the shower, which was a little better. Jiang Yue used "Clean and Fresh" to clean the bathtub, then drew the curtain and went to take a bath.
A hot bath seemed to wash away all the fatigue. After showering and changing into bathrobes, the three went to the common lounge, where many upperclassmen were. Eve and Ellie went to chat with someone, while Jiang Yue went to the library to find a book. While reading, she had Bai Ze scan all the books in the library. Although the ninth-level Bai Ze wasn't going all out, he scanned all the books in the library in less than ten minutes. Even some books that required special methods to open were scanned, because the gap between them was too big.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them went back to their dorm to sleep. The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Yue took some time to write a letter home. She had made an appointment with Hermione to send a letter home today, otherwise her family would worry for another day if she was late.
Dear Mom and Dad:
Today is the second day of school. Your dear daughter is writing this letter to you from the Ravenclaw common room, which is said to only accept the brightest minds. After an eight-hour journey on the Hogwarts Express, we arrived at Hogwarts School. The school is a magnificent castle, and the scenery here is beautiful. After the Sorting Ceremony (which was basically just wearing a hat), I was sorted into Ravenclaw. After a sumptuous dinner (not as good as Mom's cooking), we returned to our Ravenclaw dormitories...
She wrote down her entire day's itinerary, reminding herself not to be vague when writing home, lest her family think she wasn't eating or sleeping well. After writing three pages, Jiang Yue concluded:
I'm doing very well here, so don't worry about me. I'll write to you whenever I miss you, and you can write back to me too.
Love you all--
My dearest daughter--
Jiang Yue]
After finishing the letter, it was getting late. The first class this morning was Charms, taught by Felius Flitwick, the head of Ravenclaw. Jiang Yue didn't want to be late today, so she and her roommates headed to class early.
At the start of the first class, because the professor was rather short, Professor Flitwick conjured up a bookshelf with a wave of his hand. As he walked toward the bookshelf, a book would automatically fall to his feet with each step, creating the illusion of lotus blossoms with every step. The newly enrolled wizards in the class stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape, not even blinking. This spell was just too cool; who wouldn't want to experience it?
