Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

The time agreed with Illidan was coming soon, and Illidan would call Dumbledore for support if he didn't leave. Russell did not communicate with Slytherin anymore, said goodbye and left.

"Goodbye, heir of Slytherin." Ghost said goodbye to Russell, even though Russell had emphasized several times that he was not interested in this title and was even a little disgusted.

After walking out of the Room of Requirement, Russell breathed a sigh of relief, sent a signal to Illidan, reported that he was safe, and then prepared to walk back to the office to take a nap before dawn.

Although the soul communication with the Slytherin ghost just took only a few minutes, it made him feel extremely mentally exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for several days.

Fortunately, Russell also gained enough.

The knowledge gained from the exchange with Slytherin, even if there was no subsequent relevant research data, pointed out a new path for Russell's magic research. This was absolutely extremely valuable information.

In Russell's view, finding a topic worth studying and finding research directions are sometimes even more important than solving the problem.

In addition, Russell was fascinated by the history of the Big Four and the founding of Hogwarts.

Standing at the door of the Room of Requirement, Russell waved his hand and summoned a bottle of Magic Coke mixed with a refreshing agent. He drank it in one gulp without caring about the carbon dioxide in it. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and finally felt that his mind was clear. few.

Then he keenly discovered that someone seemed to be watching him.

Is it Dumbledore?No, this wave of magic was unfamiliar to him. Russell looked towards the corner of the wall for a while. Just when he was wondering if he was delusional due to mental stress, a slender ghost floated out from the middle of the wall.

"You smell familiar. What's your name?"

Russell looked at this ghost, with pale skin, handsome appearance, and a silver robe, floating in mid-air, staring at Russell, his eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny.

Russell quickly remembered the identity of this ghost, Lady Gray, the daughter of Ravenclaw. Legend has it that she stole Ravenclaw's diadem and ran away from home because she wanted to gain more wisdom than Lady Ravenclaw. , died of unknown causes, and Ravenclaw's diadem disappeared.

When Russell was in school, he had already examined the ins and outs of this matter based on the original work.

After Ms. Gray ran away from home, Ravenclaw sent Bloody Barrow to recover his daughter, but Bloody Barrow accidentally killed Ms. Gray. Then, the overly sad Bloody Barrow used Killed Ms. Gray by committing suicide with a dagger.

This was a very miserable, but not beautiful love story at all. The effects of the elixir had not yet worn off, so Russell quickly recalled all the information.

"Hello, Ms. Gray Ravenclaw, I am the current principal of Hogwarts, Carl Russell." Russell introduced himself and pointed out the other party's identity.

"Do you know my life experience? Tell me quickly, where did you hide my crown?" Ms. Gray's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and her emotions became excited.

"Stop, I promise, I have no interest in Ravenclaw's diadem, and it is not in my hands, but I do -"

The ghost interrupted Russell's words, flew into the air, and said angrily: "Liar, I smell the smell of the crown. The crown of Ravenclaw can bring wisdom to people, but you don't understand its power at all - "

"No, I understand it very well. I even know that it should be hidden by Voldemort now." Russell also interrupted Ms. Gray.

This made the other party look surprised, as if it was incredible that Russell knew such a secret thing.

This is exactly what Russell wanted.

"Let's make a deal. I'll tell you where the crown is, and you can tell me something about the time when Hogwarts was founded. How about that?" Russell asked.

Without much hesitation, Ms. Gray agreed to Russell's proposal.

This is actually not difficult to understand. When Russell was studying the handwriting left by Slytherin some time ago, he was constantly looking for some cases of immortality from daily life.

The common ghosts in Hogwarts are naturally within the scope of his research. Ghosts are actually the product of the emotional power of the wizard's "unwilling obsession" when he dies.

They are not the souls of the deceased, but the products of the deceased's obsessions. Therefore, they possess most of the memories and thinking patterns of the deceased during their lifetime, but they are always troubled by their obsessions.

These obsessions are also the basis for maintaining the existence of ghosts. Russell speculated that if one day he said to Professor Binns, "You are fired", the other party would probably disappear immediately, because Professor Binns' obsession was to hide in the ghost world. Gwartz gives lessons to the little wizards.

The same goes for Nearly Headless Nick. If he really joins the team of the Headless Horseman, then he may not be far away from disappearing.

However, Russell has not verified these. Humanism is one aspect. More importantly, Russell does not know where to find a history teacher who can replace Professor Binns.

After all, Professor Binns lived for more than 1000 years. He had been a professor at Hogwarts since its establishment. He was a witness and even experienced all the historical events in the textbooks.

Therefore, although Professor Binns's classes have become a bit unreliable, Russell still has not had any thoughts of changing teachers. At least his class can allow the little wizards who are usually full of energy to catch up on their sleep and rest. Combine it.

Soon, Russell invited Ms. Gray to an open-air rooftop at Hogwarts and told the story of the Big Four during the founding of Hogwarts.

Russell compared the version told by Ms. Gray and the version told by the Slytherin ghost in his mind, and found that except for some differences in details, they were basically able to corroborate each other without any loopholes.

It seemed that the Slytherin ghost was not lying.

But Russell also seemed to have gotten a great piece of gossip from Ms. Gray's few words.

Among the Big Four, Gryffindor, Slytherin and Hufflepuff seem to have a mysterious emotional triangle.

No wonder the ghost of Slytherin likes to belittle Hufflepuff so much, tsk tsk tsk, there is such a relationship.

The mysterious relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin is exciting to think about. In this way, Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the chief wizard of Gryffindor and the Dark Lord, can be regarded as inheriting the ancestor Guan Rong. tradition.
