Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 121, Idiot’s House

Good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.Penello soon woke up from his beautiful reverie.

She straightened her long curly hair and pretended that she was just distracted for a moment and not in a crazy mood during the day.But the flash of blush on her cheeks was still accurately captured by Mesa.

Mesa did not choose to pierce the window paper. He turned his head and looked out the window.She likes me, which together with the vibrating phone and my ability to fight back are called the three major illusions in life.

This is a typical wish projection effect, that is, the projection phenomenon of imposing one's own subjective wishes on the other party.

Just like a kind-hearted person, it is easy for him to think that others are kind; but for a person with a dark heart, everything he sees is black.

The reason why there is the illusion of "she likes me" is that most of the time, you like the other person and hope that the other person will also like you.As time goes by, I feel that the other person really likes me.

Mesa first looked into his heart and asked himself whether he also liked the Penelo in front of him.

Hmm... I can't say I like him, at most I have some good impressions, and I don't treat Penello like an ordinary classmate.If Penello needs help, Mesa will do his best to help, but will never go out of his way to do so.

Since I don't like the other person, but I feel that the other person likes me... So this is probably not my illusion, but the true feelings shown by Penello inadvertently. This must be the case.

The person who wandered outside the world was changed from Penello to Mesa, but the treatment of the two was completely different.Mesa did not disturb Penelo, who was distracted, but Penelo directly interrupted his thoughts.

Penello waved his slender fingers in front of Mesa's eyes, awakening the pensive young man.

She said: "I just thought about it carefully, and there is indeed such a contradictory place near the common room."

Mesa was skeptical as to whether the curly-haired girl had thought carefully about the problem just now, but it was just that people were tough and there was no need for him to expose it outright.If he pointed it out regardless, I'm afraid Penello would be embarrassed.

To make a girl you know feel embarrassed is tantamount to asking for trouble for yourself.

This is the experience and lesson Mesa has learned from Lilia, every word is heartbreaking and every sentence is bloody.

"Can you take me to have a look?" Mesa said smoothly, "When I went around in circles just now, I didn't find a satisfactory place."

Mesa didn't want to continue to struggle with the problem of illusions in life. He once determined to be the King of the Sea, but once again backed down on the road to becoming the King of the Sea.

"Why not?" Penello said, "Let's go this way."

With that said, Penello took the lead and walked forward, but the two of them walked along the corridor in front of the spiral staircase for a few steps before Penello stopped.This short distance gives people the illusion that Hagrid can come over in one big jump.

Penello turned to face a pair of highly polished armor. It was not a heavy-looking plate armor, nor a blue-quality silver scale breastplate, but a set of chainmail armor with complex craftsmanship.

"You should know the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room, right?" Penello said. "There is an eagle-shaped bronze knocker at the entrance. If you want to enter the common room, you must answer the knocker's question."

Hogwarts has four houses, and naturally there are four corresponding common rooms, and the methods of entering are also different.

Both Slytherin and Gryffindor have to say passwords, the difference is that one is a wet stone wall and the other is a portrait; Ravenclaw needs to answer the question of the bronze knocker, while Hufflepuff needs to answer the question correctly. On the correct barrel, strike in the correct order.

Penelope smiled and continued: "This is a way to learn knowledge. The only disadvantage is that if you can't answer the question, you have to wait for smarter people to answer it."

Extraordinary intelligence is mankind's greatest wealth.This statement is echoed up and down Ravenclaw House.

Penello took out his wand and tapped the visor of the armor.Then there was a splashing sound, the armor jumped aside, and part of the stone wall behind it slowly disappeared at the same time, revealing a small arch.

"In order to prevent students from spending the night in the corridors, this place came into being." Penello continued, "Welcome, welcome to the refuge of idiots!"

The two of them walked through the arch one after another and entered the shelter.The boxy room is small and feels like a converted broom closet.

There were armchairs on each side of the wall, and a low table in the middle.There is also an elegant arched window on the rough stone wall, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

"The decoration here is very similar to a common room." Penello stood by the window, looking out at the mountains, "but there are no dark blue carpets, no blue and bronze silk window screens, and no rows of bookshelves. "

Mesa picked an armchair and sat down, and said, "This is a quiet place."

"Yes, very few people usually want to come here." Penello said with a smile, "Because everyone assumes that everyone who walks out from here is a fool, and no one wants to be regarded as a fool."

Ravenclaw Academy values ​​the erudition, wisdom, shrewdness and intelligence of its members, and the academy only recruits students who are active in their studies and have talents.Many weirdos have also been born here, and the college welcomes and accepts these "different" people.

Ravenclaw generally has little competition with other houses, except in Quidditch, but competition within them is fierce.To put it irresponsibly, Ravenclaw is almost the most deeply involved house in Hogwarts.

As long as you can't roll to death, roll to death!If you don't curl up, you're not a Ravenclaw!

"Even if they can't answer the question about the bronze door knocker, everyone will stand on the stairs and frown, or pretend to be thinking." Penello said, "Choosing here means giving up and leaving your destiny in the hands of others. "

Mesa can understand this kind of comparison of performance and talent, this kind of face-saving behavior.Smart people are just smart, but they are not enlightened. They can see everything and let go of everything.

What Mesa doesn't understand is, since no one is usually willing to come here, why would Penelo choose this place?

In line with the principle of not being ashamed to ask questions, Mesa asked his doubts.

"The house elves will come over. Didn't you see that this place is very clean? There are not even cobwebs." Penello replied, "You don't know that there are house elves in the school, right?"

Cobweb, spider, web... Mesa didn't want to hear words like this for the time being.

Every time he saw something related to spiders, Mesa wanted to rush into the Forbidden Forest, capture the Acromantulas alive, and collect the venom one by one.

"Of course I know, I often visit the kitchen." Mesa said helplessly, "The house elves there are hospitable and nice to talk to. I like it there very much."

Penello left the window, sat sideways on the armrest of the armchair, and said, "Look at that!" She pointed at the stone wall. The wall at the entrance closed again after the two entered.

But when Mesa squinted his eyes and looked carefully, he found that the wall was not real, but just a shadow.Mesa had a clear view of the hallway outside.

"If someone passes by outside, the people inside the stupid house can see it." Penello said, "And whether there is anyone in the house, people passing by from outside will also know."

Mesa recalled the scene when the two were outside. The walls and armor were normal, and he could not "see through" the scene inside the house.Maybe it was because there was no one in the house at the time?

Either rough walls or intricately crafted armor, Mesa could only think of these two things.

"It's armor." Penello did not continue with the riddle. "When there is someone in the room, whether the person is awake or asleep, the posture of the armor will change. It reminds people passing by that there is a fool here. Needs to be saved.”

"What if the people in the idiot's house are dead?"

The smile on Penello's face froze, and her rosy face began to turn pale. This question gave rise to a sense of fear in her heart.Mesa's seriousness made her feel intimidated.

Penelo suddenly felt that the Mesa he knew and the Mesa in front of him were two different people, and he might have never really known Mesa Black.
