Chapter 55 Ravenclaw's thoughts, Dumbledore panicked

   "Helena, think about it carefully, think about the time you spent with Ms. Ravenclaw, and think about whether she has mentioned related topics?" Ted said to Helena.

   "Thoughts, clustered thoughts..." Helena's eyes were empty and lost in thought.

  For ghosts who have no concept of time, this meditation is two or three hours.

  When Ted came back from dinner, Helena was still thinking about it. It went until midnight, and Ted couldn't stand it anymore, so he planned to talk about it tomorrow. He wanted to persuade her to rest first and think slowly but was interrupted before she could speak.

   "I, I may have remembered, my mother, she seems to have said something similar..." Her expression was a little excited, and she looked sad with a hint of nostalgia.

  She walked to the statue and called softly: "Mom? Mom! Mom, I'm back, open the door for me quickly, I'm Helena."

  Suddenly, Ted felt that the statue had magical fluctuations!

  He quickly cast a magic detection, and sure enough, he saw brighter and brighter blue light on the statue.

  The statue of Ravenclaw blinked suddenly, and then spoke: "Helena, my daughter, is that you?"

  It was a gentle and clear voice, giving off the impression of a wise and elegant lady.

  Pearl-white tears rolled down Helena's face, choked out her hands to hug her mother, but she could only pass through the statue—she was already a ghost, dead for almost a thousand years.

   "Mom! Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." she choked up.

   "Don't cry, Helena, don't cry. My poor daughter..." He looked at Helena.

 "I was already very bad at that time. I was worried that I would not be able to see you, and I was worried that you would not be able to go on. It was my fault. I should not have let Baron find you. His mind at that time had been black magic It was terribly devastated..."

   "Please don't blame me, Helena, don't blame me." She prayed to her daughter.

 "No, it's my fault. Mother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't stolen the crown and distracted you, you certainly wouldn't, wouldn't have died. Mother, forgive my mother." Helena simply I couldn't make a sound.

  The statue of Ravenclaw stretched out its hands, hugging its daughter. The mother and daughter are a statue that cannot cry, and a ghost that cannot be touched. Together, they express their apologies for being late for a thousand years.

   After a long time, Ms. Ravenclaw comforted Helena, and they finally calmed down.

   "When I learned the painful news, I couldn't bear it anymore. But I am worried about you, Helena, and I am worried that you will be afraid of death and unable to go on."

   "It seems that my worry was right. But it was too hasty at the time, and I could only cast incomplete magic on this statue, which prevented me from waking up by myself..."

   "Fortunately, fortunately, I left enough magic power in the secret room. Helena, don't be afraid, come with me..."

  As he spoke, a fist-sized ball of light floated from the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw. She floats ahead and leads the way, Helena follows behind.

  Not far away, Helena waved to Ted, "Thank you, Ted, please come with me. I may have to continue walking, I hope you can help me to be the last witness."

  Ted bowed slightly and followed without saying a word.

  The ball of light floated in front, and the whole castle seemed to come alive. The portraits seem to have lost their self-awareness and remain motionless in the frame. Those movable armors will salute actively, and the movable stairs will float over by themselves to form a smooth path. This is much more powerful than the usual castle, like a deformed building block.

  Soon, they left the Ravenclaw tower and came to the main tower through the bridge. In a corridor on the eighth floor, the light group stopped in front of a tapestry.

   "This blanket is quite interesting." Rowena Ravenclaw said.

  That's the tapestry of the troll beating up silly Barnabas with a stick. It tells the story of a wizard named Barnabas who tried to teach a troll to dance ballet, but was beaten by an impatient troll with a big stick.

  On the wall opposite the tapestry, a door suddenly appeared. The solid wooden door was three meters high, with gold painted edges, and a raven pattern in the door.

  The door opened, the ball of light flew in, and Ravenclaw's voice came: "Please come in, Helena and that little guy, this is my original research room..."

  Ted didn't expect that Ravenclaw would bring himself to the Room of Requirement. He knew about this place, but he didn't intend to come here just for the first grade. Unexpectedly, Ravenclaw also left a "secret room" here!

  After walking in, it was not what Ted imagined, there were bookshelves, experiment tables and other things everywhere, but it was a bit empty—only a large curved table and a few chairs. A very old style sofa and a bookcase.

  However, on the opposite wall, there are many blue lines with a faint golden light, which converge into an extremely complex geometric pattern.

  The ball of light flew into the wall, and then all the blue lines connected together, and began to spread rapidly, spreading towards other directions of the house, towards the invisible magic veins in the wall...

  Dumbledore, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes. He tore off the pointed nightcap on his head, picked up the moon-shaped glasses on the table and put them on, looked around uncertainly, and then reached out to do something, but there was no response.

  He looked at his hands, quickly got out of bed before he could change into his pajamas, and quickly walked down the steps to the principal's office. He looked at a wall of portraits of headmasters who were sleeping with snot bubbles, and his heart sank—his headmaster authority disappeared!

  However, without waiting for his next move, the authority suddenly came back.

  From the time he was awakened from his sleep until he confirmed that the authority had been "usurped" and planned to do something, and then the authority returned inexplicably, it took less than a minute in total.

   "What happened?" he muttered.

  …

  At this time, in the Room of Requirement and Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, a group of powerful blue magic power gathered, and finally formed the image of a middle-aged lady—Ravenclaw in a blue robe.

  She stretched out her hand and gently grabbed Helena's hand!

  She has come into contact with a ghost!

  Both Ted and Helena were amazed.

 Ms. Ravenclaw chuckled: "Don't be too surprised. Although ordinary methods cannot touch ghosts, some high-end magic can affect ghosts. I just temporarily borrowed the authority of the headmaster to mobilize the magic power of the castle, and created myself a temporal ghost body that can touch the Helena's ghost body."

  Ted is like listening to the scriptures, what contact with ghosts, what high-end magic, what principal authority, what body shaping? Is it so powerful?

   "Then you, you are now..." Ted swallowed and asked with difficulty.

   "I'm not resurrected, not even Ravenclaw himself, I'm just a thought she injected with emotion. No one can live a thousand years, let alone resurrect after a thousand years."

  She looked at the daughter in her arms, "Not much time, Helena, are you ready?"

  Helena looked up at her mother and nodded: "Mom, I'm not afraid anymore."

  After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Ted again, "Thank you, Ted."

  Ted leaned slightly and saluted: "May your journey be smooth."

  Helena smiled and nodded.

  Ms. Ravenclaw also smiled, "Thank you little guy, thank you for your help. Hope this helps you..."

  A book appeared on that curved table, and then the pages of the book were automatically turned, and countless fonts and even drawings appeared.

  The light lit up, and a non-glare white light enveloped the mother and daughter.

  Helena waved to Ted, "Goodbye Ted, goodbye."

  Ted waved his hand: "Goodbye, goodbye Helena, goodbye Ms. Ravenclaw."

  After the white light dissipated, everything disappeared. In this secret room, although it still remains the same, the blue lines on the wall have disappeared.

  Ted took a brief look at the house, looked at the bookcase, and flipped through the book left by Ms. Ravenclaw—it was ten centimeters thick, the kind with a bronze edging that could kill someone.

  He looked at the direction in which Helena disappeared, and he didn't expect that one of his friends would be separated so quickly. Although he should be happy for Helena, he has very complicated emotions.

  At this time, the system also joined in the fun.

   "Ding~ Complete the hidden task: [Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets (Purple)]. Reward 3000 experience, random cards..."

   "Purple mission? 3000 experience, random cards?!" This was a big surprise.

  Ted took another look at the place where Helena and Ms. Ravenclaw disappeared.

  He intends to calm down first, and don't move here. Go back and calm down first, and then decide how to deal with this place.

  According to Ms. Ravenclaw's last action, Ted has obtained the authority of this secret room. Then come back later. Go back and be quiet now.

  And Ted pushed the door out of the Room of Requirement, and within a few steps, he ran into Dumbledore in pajamas and a nightcap in the corridor.

  His moon-shaped glasses revealed an inquiring gaze.

   "Monsieur Epiphany, what's are you doing in this time of the night?" he asked.
