Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The Great Hall gradually emptied out, and only teachers like Dumbledore and Lockhart, who had little work to do at night, were left in the teaching seats.

Feeling the gaze coming from behind, Anriel turned around and saw Qiu Zhang's slightly lonely expression.

Anriel could have sworn he saw Dumbledore wink at him and shrug.

But, he is really not interested in Qiu.

Not to mention that you were Chinese in your previous life, you can't choose a Chinese person when choosing a face in this life. Just in this world where people's appearance is generally improving, your appearance is not that good.

Oh, I am in the same class as Qiu Zhang...

Oh sister, your looks are not that great!

Anriel was speechless.

Old Deng, you want to eat this melon too?

I see you are really hungry.

What doesn’t the old man know? The old man knows everything.

Luna just sat there obediently, as if she had nothing to do with what happened...

Well, I was probably just staring at the ceiling.

His eyes are wandering and his gaze is vague.

That’s not important, just go back and rest.

-----------------

"Right, Luna."

As Anriel walked up the stairs holding the girl's hand, he suddenly thought of something.

"Ok?"

"Do you know the welcome speech given by the Ravenclaw seniors?"

"do not know."

Luna shook her head decisively, without any hesitation.

Anriel walked and recited:

"It is a pleasure to welcome you to the House of Ravenclaw.

Our school emblem is an eagle, soaring high in the sky, a peak that no one can reach;

Our colors are sky blue and bronze;

Our common room is located at the top of Ravenclaw Tower, hidden behind a door with a magical knocker.

Through the arched windows of the circular common room, you can see the entire Hogwarts campus:

The Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and the greenhouse (other houses are not lucky enough to enjoy this beautiful view).

I don't mean to exaggerate, but this is where the smartest witches and wizards live. Just like our founder -

Rowena Ravenclaw, too.

We regard learning as our primary ability.

We don't need a hidden common room entrance like other colleges.

The door to our common room, at the top of a long, winding staircase, had no handle but an enchanted bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle's head.

When you knock on the door, the knocker will ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, you will be allowed in.

For nearly a thousand years, no one except Ravenclaw could pass this simple barrier.

Some first years dread the door knocker questions, don't worry. Ravenclaws are good learners and you will soon learn to enjoy the challenge of the door knocker:

It's not uncommon to see 20 people standing outside the common room door, trying to answer the day's question together. Instead, it's a great opportunity to meet other Ravenclaws from other years, and learn from them -

It can be a bit annoying though when you forget your Quidditch uniform and need to get in or out in a hurry.

Therefore, I suggest you check your bag twice before leaving Ravenclaw Tower.

Ravenclaw has another cool element: our people are very much themselves - some would even call them weird.

But geniuses are usually out of step with ordinary people. Unlike some colleges, we think you can wear whatever you like, believe whatever you want, and say whatever you like.

We don't dislike people who are different; on the contrary, we admire them!

Ravenclaw Speaking of eccentrics, you'll love our Head of House, Professor Filius Flitwick.

People often underestimate him because he's really short (we think he's of elven descent, but we've never been rude enough to ask him) and has a high-pitched voice, but he's the best and most knowledgeable spell professor alive in the world.

His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw who has a problem, and if you are unhappy, he will release the delicious pocket cakes hidden in the tin in the desk drawer and let them dance in front of you.

(You can actually pretend to be unhappy, and then you can see the cakes doing the cowboy dance. It’s really worth a try.)

Ravenclaw has an illustrious history. Most of the greatest wizarding inventors and innovators have come from our house...

Of course, I said we produce weird people:

In fact, we also gave the wizarding world Ulric, the weirdo who wore a jellyfish as a hat and was the punchline to many a wizard joke.

As for our relationship with the other three colleges:

You've probably heard of Slytherins. They're not all bad, but until you get to know them, you should be wary.

Their long-standing collegiate tradition is to win at all costs—

So please be careful, especially during Quidditch matches and exams.

Gryffindors aren't bad. If I have a problem with them it's that they like to show off a lot.

They are also much less tolerant of those who are different than we are;

In fact, they would even laugh at any Ravenclaw who showed an interest in floating objects, or was curious about the magical uses of troll eggs, or oviropsis, a method of divination using eggs (which you probably already know).

Gryffindors don't have our intellectual curiosity, and for us, it's no problem at all if you're willing to sit in a corner of the common room all day and all night cracking eggs and recording your predictions based on the different ways the yolks will land -

And you will most likely find that there are people willing to help you.

As for Hufflepuffs, no one could say they weren't friendly people -

They are arguably the friendliest group of people in the school.

It can be said that when it comes to competition in exams, you don't have to worry too much about them.

I think that's all.

Oh, and by the way, our house ghost is Ms. Grey. Others think she never speaks, but she talks to Ravenclaw.

She is the daughter of Eagle Ancestor, a very beautiful lady, and is said to have something going on with the Bloody Baron (of course we never ask her).

When you are lost or can't find something, be polite and she will be happy to help you.

I'm sure you'll have a great night.

Our dormitory was in the corner tower next to the main tower; our four-poster bed was covered with a sky-blue silk quilt, and the sound of the wind blowing past the window was very soothing.

Of course, the straight-line distance to the cafeteria is the farthest among the four colleges.

So, don't even think about cheating, as this kind of behavior is basically never allowed in Ravenclaw.

I will say it again: Congratulations on becoming a member of the smartest, most alert and funniest Hogwarts house."

After reciting the poem, the two of them stood right in front of the bronze door knocker described in the welcome speech.

"Well, please? Give it a try?"

Anriel took a half step back and made room for him.
