the trail

Roger Davis also warned Alex not chase it too much since there are people who is obsessed with inheritance from the founder and wasted a lot of their time.

Alex nodded and goes to the place confidently, where does he get this confidence well it happened when he absorbed the knowledge of inheritance and clues about the 4 founders the day he got Hogwarts letter.

Alex also knew there is a room with Rowena's trial , so he decided to go to Ravenclaw on the excuse of Cho , but a part of him also wishes to stay in the same house as Cho. he manipulated his thoughts using occulumancy to fool the sorting hat.

Alex soon arrived at the west corner and noticed a room with blue coloured doors which are sturdier than steel. he step forward and bowed his head while looking at the crow's eye pattern on the door and the door opened. this is the thing the pursuers of inheritance didn't know , they have to first show respect to the founders bow to get get their approval.

Rowena's riddle don't have an answer, she put this to test the wit of the future and their respect towards the old generation. Rowena believes no matter how smart one can be if they don't know discipline and manners, they will end up in a dark path. so, she deliberately make the riddle impossible and put a mechanism to look through the crow's eye like scanner to read the movements of the pursuers.

after the first test comes the trial of wit which is a second test. here Rowena asks a question of situation between two people who is poisoned and ina situation of life and death lying there unconsciously you will be the one holding the cure to it, who will you give the cure to the supreme magician who is the strongest in the generation or a young wizard who just started learning magic.

this question will make many ones confused. some will say the supreme one while others say a young wizard, but both of these are wrong . the answer is to replicate the cure using the Gemino charm which duplicates the items and their effect and give it to them.

if someone hear the answer , they think this is nonsense because the Gemino charm at today can't even replicate items properly outside let alone the properties of it.

but they don't know that Rowena researched many spells and can do that perfectly , the duplicate is temporary but can cure the poison in the situation and she puts this test to see if there is a wizard similar to her in researching magic. many will think this is not possible for wizards but McGonagall and Dumbledore can reach this level in the charm spell.

after Alex answered it , a voice resounded saying, "correct" and the scenary changed to that of a palace room where Rowena herself is standing though it is a spell left by her. it still resembled her. this is the final trial and the most important one. in this Rowena asks the pursuer to perform the Gemino charm that they answered in the second trial on the Chalis beside Rowena. the spell made Rowena will judge this.

Alex who acquired a blue card Gemino charm during on his 7th year stay at the orphanage is happy when he absorbed the inheritance knowledge and came to know the trial.

this trial is impossible for many, but knowledge and research by Rowena also, she researched about resurrection although failed ,she did research enough to make the wizards in her generation to drop a jaw, not only that but also many spells researched and created by Rowena her as well as many enchanted items she collected all her life is included in this trial, not to mention the ownership of room of requirement and Rowena's research lab and bedroom itself.

that's why she made this trial impossible.

Alex did the spell as asked and Rowena's projection nodded as if say he passed the trial. suddenly the room changed into Rowena's lab and she spoke , " welcome heir, this is my life's work and knowledge, use them well. since you passed the trial I will not ask you to do great things, but beware of your power. it made lead you to your doom or move the world to a new era , the inheritance will be contracted to you once you put your blood on it and also please pass this message to Helena , ' dear you don't have to feel bad for me, don't worry about the past and be happy with your life. I may not be by your side but I will always reside in this castle. Hogwarts is our home, please take good care of our wizards in my stead, good bye Helena' ".

while vanishing Rowena smiled and said, " successor , power may be important but not as much as love live well and protect those dear to you. I wish you good luck and hope your life will be fruitful". Rowena's speller vanished and there is small sapphire ring floating in the air Alex wear it put his finger in his mouth and bite it blood came out and he put the finger on the ring. the ring lit and faded after a second.

Alex could feel the connection to the castle, room of requirement and Rowena's room and lab. the scenery in the room changed into a luxurious one and a huge bed appeared opposite to Alex and a table and some chairs also appeared in corner. it is completely different compared to other rooms. it's like staying in a 5 star hotel. this room is connected with room of requirement and he enter this room and go to room of requirement on the 8 floor and vice versa through this.
