Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 280 Lady Gray
The empty Ravenclaw common room.

It is already midnight now, and there are only a few scattered candlelights at the entrance of the passage in the lounge. The stars painted on the dome on the ceiling exude a light blue light, corresponding to the stars on the carpet. Even if the light is not too bright, it is enough to see The appearance of the living room.

Connor stood alone under a white marble statue in his pajamas. He raised his neck and looked at the statue.

The statue seemed to be responding to his gaze, with a faint smile on her face, as if teasing or laughing.

She is beautiful, yet intimidating, and she is Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings."

Connor read the words on the ring above her head, and his thoughts wandered for a while.

The search for the secret of the stairs has hit a bottleneck, and this clue is basically broken. To be honest, Connor is not very concerned about finding the treasure, otherwise he would not have thrown this matter to Conan for more than a year. I don't ask much.

But he was always lucky. Gryffindor's secret was found out without much effort. He subconsciously thought that the secrets left by those four people back then were not difficult to find, but they were not discovered because they were not noticeable. That's all.

But now it seems that it is not so easy to find the answer.

Or wait until the Chamber of Secrets opens next year to find the treasure of Slytherin. This is definitely the easiest to find. Connor backed down.

But he was not very reconciled, he felt that the real secret was very close to him, as if a layer of tulle could be torn, but there was no way to get in.

This feeling was so uncomfortable that he lost sleep.
"you again."

There was a sudden sound in the empty room, which was quite creepy. Connor was startled, and turned his head to look, hiss—it was actually a ghost in the middle of the night.

This is really a ghost. A translucent figure appeared in front of the lounge door. It was a very beautiful beauty with long hair reaching her waist, graceful and luxurious, with a cold face. She was tall and her aura was icy, which is a pity It's a female ghost.

"Hello, Ms. Grey." Connor saluted this Ravenclaw ghost, she is Ravenclaw's daughter Helena Ravenclaw, but few people know this, little wizards call She was Ms. Gray, because she never refuted it, and everyone who came and went acquiesced to this title.

"Connor Lake." The beautiful lady ghost floated towards Connor, stopped in front of him, glanced at Connor, then at the Ravenclaw statue, and said, "You are also coveting My mother's diadem?"

Apparently she heard Connor's muttering just now.

Connor smiled and said, "Your mother?"

"When I was alive, it was Helena Ravenclaw." Helena easily said the secret that was not a secret: "Generations of students have been looking for my mother's crown, and you are not the first its people."

"Is it really okay to tell me this kind of thing so easily?" Connor tilted his head, observing Helena with great interest.

"I have been watching you for a long time, Connor Lake." Helena flew around Connor: "You are a real Ravenclaw, I think you are qualified to have the crown of Ravenclaw, I think you can get it back."

"Get it back?" Connor's expression became more and more weird. If I remember correctly, didn't Voldemort hide the diadem in the Room of Requirement?And wasn't Helena telling Voldemort the secret of the diadem?Now it seems that she doesn't know that the crown was brought back to school by Voldemort?

"Yes, I stole my mother's crown back then." Helena's voice became trembling, as if recalling something terrible: "The crown can give people wisdom. I used to want to be better than my mother." Smarter and more famous, so I stole the diadem but then my mother was sick, very sick, and she was desperate to see me one last time, so she sent someone to find me—”

"Bloody Barrow?" Connor followed her words.

"Yes, Bloody Baron, you know he—" Helena raised her cloak, revealing a black gash on her snow-white chest, and said angrily, "Baro is a bad-tempered man, he Loved me, but I rejected him, and he hated my freedom, so he stabbed me to death."

Helena closed her eyes: "Later he came to his senses, hated him so much, and committed suicide with the dagger that stabbed me. After so many years, he still wore shackles in order to repent, but he deserved it!"

"." Connor was silent. What Helena said was almost the same as what he understood, but why did Connor feel that none of these words were true.
"I know you've been investigating the secrets of the stairs recently. You're close to the truth, but you still lack one crucial thing—" Helena's beautiful eyes stared at Connor: "You still need a crown, la Winclaw's diadem, without which you cannot learn the true secret."

"Why did you tell me this?" Connor didn't feel the excitement of knowing the big secret at all, which made Helena a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it.

"Because I think you're capable of it."

"Have you ever told anyone about this?"

"Of course not, not everyone is worthy of me telling the truth, Connor, you are different."

Connor twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile: "Then where did you hide the crown?"

"In order to escape Barrow's pursuit, I hid the crown in a hollow tree when I was running away."

"A hollow tree? Where is it?"

"In a forest in Albania, in a desolate place, I thought my mother whipped."

"puff"

Helena's performance was not over yet, but Connor laughed first, which made her angry: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of something funny." Connor rubbed his stomach with a suppressed laugh.

"What's so funny—"

Connor waved his hand, and said in a dumbfounding tone, "Ms. Gray, you really don't think I'm the kind of kid who's easy to deceive, do you?"

"What do you mean! If you don't like hearing these secrets, I'll turn around and leave!" Helena looked very angry.

"Ms. Gray, do you know where Albania is?" Connor didn't respond, but teased and said.

"Isn't Albania just in the Principality of Albania—" Helena's voice stopped abruptly, obviously she also realized something.

"Ms. Gray, I have to tell you with regret that the Principality of Albania perished hundreds of years ago, and the Republic of Albania is just a small country today." Connor shrugged: "Let's not mention the hollow tree, you really Do you know how many years have passed since you died? You asked me to find a hollow tree thousands of years ago? Are you kidding me?"

"But as long as you are willing to find it."

"It's the place Voldemort told you about."

The air suddenly became quiet, Helena took a few steps back and stammered, "How do you know?"

"Let me guess." Connor stared into Helena's flustered eyes, and said unhurriedly: "You also told many [excellent teenagers] like me back then about this so-called secret. You should be Hide the diadem in a more hidden place like the so-called albanian forest, you encouraged those people to find it, but that place has a very strong protective magic, no one can successfully come back with the diadem no. Maybe not at all Can't come back?"

Helena's eyes widened in horror, and her pale face was bloodless (though it wasn't there in the first place).

"But... a student came back alive decades ago, but he didn't bring back the crown you wanted, but told you that he hid the crown in another place. A hollow log in the Albanian forest ?” Connor grinned: “Hehe, what a liar, no one would really believe such stupid words, right?”

"You!" Helena pointed at Connor shamelessly, wasn't she turning a corner and scolding herself for being stupid?Think about it seriously, that person may have really lied to himself back then, he must have found the crown and hid it for himself!And I was really foolish enough to believe him
That's right, Connor guessed right, what Helena said before was a lie, she is the ghost of Hogwarts, there is no way to leave the school, and for nearly a thousand years, she has been quietly keeping this "secret" "Revealed to those outstanding students, hoping to retrieve the Ravenclaw diadem through their hands.

But no one succeeded, and the only one who came back alive only brought her a piece of news that she didn’t know was true or false. She had indeed observed Connor for a long time. Jealousy, she wanted him to prove the truth of this information, but now it seems
"Ms. Gray." Connor stopped smiling. He looked at the ghost in front of him seriously, and asked, "Why do you want to get the crown of Ravenclaw? If you are willing to tell me the truth, I can agree." Help you get back your crown"

"Just give me three days."
