Chapter 4070 4072 [Ravenclaw]

Seeing that these ghosts could talk to people and were not as ferocious as the legends said, the students felt relieved and continued to eat and drink.

Some brave freshmen even inquired about the origins of these ghosts, such as the ghost of Gryffindor House, Nearly Headless Nick; the ghost of Ravenclaw, Lady Grey; the ghost of Hufflepuff, the Fat Friar; and the ghost of Slytherin, the Bloody Barrow.

By the time everyone had filled their stomachs and finished their main meal, the remaining food disappeared from their plates.

The plates were all clean again. After a while, desserts came up again. There were all kinds of ice cream, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding, apple pie, syrup pie, chocolate sponge cake, fried jam donuts, wine jam pudding...

The children screamed in surprise and several of them regretted that they were too full from the meal and could not eat the desserts.

"This pudding is really delicious, but I still think my mother makes the best pudding."

"Hogwarts is better than I thought. Even though I just arrived, I already like it."

"Luckily I was assigned to Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin. I heard that it specializes in producing dark wizards."

The students were chatting casually while eating dessert.

Finally, the dessert disappeared, Professor Dumbledore stood up again, and the restaurant returned to silence.

"Well, now that everyone has had enough to eat and drink, I want to say a few words to everyone. At the beginning of the term, I want to give you a few tips.

First-year students, please note that the forests on campus are not allowed to be entered by any students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this.

"In addition, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has also asked me to remind everyone not to perform magic in the corridors during class breaks. The review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this term. Students who are interested in joining the house team should contact Madam Hooch." He announced loudly.

"Finally, before we go to bed, let us sing the school song together!" Dumbledore said loudly, and then sparse singing was heard in the restaurant. It was obvious that everyone was too full to sing.

After all, as the saying goes, when you are full you can blow the trumpet, when you are hungry you can sing.

"It's bedtime now, everyone should go back to the dormitory." Dumbledore said immediately.

"Ravenclaw freshmen, follow me!" Ravenclaw's male and female prefects shouted together, leading the Ravenclaw freshmen to the west tower.

They climbed the long marble staircase. There were all kinds of paintings hanging on the walls. The people in the paintings could actually move. This amazed all the children from Muggle families.

"How long until it arrives?"

“We seem to be climbing Big Ben~”

"My legs are so sore~"

The freshmen all complained.

There was no way. The Ravenclaw common room was located at the top of the tower, and climbing up was not an easy task.

……

The freshmen climbed around and around the spiral staircase, and finally reached the spire of Ravenclaw Building before their legs lost feeling.

There was a door with no handle or keyhole, just a bare old wooden board with a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. Derek Ludwig, the prefect, went up and knocked on the door. The eagle's beak opened immediately, but instead of making a bird's cry, it said in a gentle, musical voice, "What turns from black to white?"

Everyone was stunned, and the class leader scratched his head.

"Hair." Xiang Nan replied.

"It makes sense." After the voice said, the door opened.

The Ravenclaw common room is a large round room with elegant arched windows on the wall, hung with blue and bronze silk, and you can vaguely see the surrounding mountains and rivers. If you watch it during the day, the scenery must be very beautiful.

It had a domed ceiling with stars painted on it, and a dark blue carpet below that was also covered with stars. There were tables and chairs in the room, bookshelves, and a tall white marble statue in a niche opposite the door.

It was Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw. She had a subtle mocking smile on her face. She was beautiful, yet somewhat intimidating.

On her head was an exquisite crown made of marble, with tiny words engraved on it, which was the ancient motto left by Rowena Ravenclaw, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

There is a door on each side of the statue, the left is the boys' dormitory, and the right is the girls' dormitory. Female prefect Amy Green led the female freshmen to the girls' dormitory, and male prefect Derrick Ludwig led the male freshmen to the boys' dormitory.

"This is your dormitory." Derrick led Xiang Nan and the other three to the freshman dormitory and said, "Your suitcases and owl cages have been placed here. Go to bed early."

"Thank you, class leader." Xiang Nan and the other three expressed their gratitude and then walked into the dormitory impatiently.

I saw that the dormitory was also very large. There were two bunk beds against the east wall, both covered with thick bedding and hung with sky blue flannel curtains.

There is a comfortable sofa between the beds, and tea sets are placed on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, where people can sit here and take a rest.

There are four wardrobes on the south wall, and a huge bookshelf on the north wall, with neatly arranged books on it, probably all Rowena Ravenclaw's personal collection.

There are four desks on the west wall, which should be the place for students to study, read and do homework. In general, the Ravenclaw dormitory is warm, comfortable and modern.

……

"There's no nameplate on the bed. I think we need to allocate the beds ourselves." Xiang Nan said, "Who wants to stay on the lower bunk?"

"I want to live in the lower bunk. I don't want to climb the ladder anymore." said a chubby boy. Xiang Nan remembered his name was Joey Farrell.

"I also want to live in the lower bunk. My legs are almost numb." Another thin boy also said. Xiang Nan remembered that his name was Benjamin Winslet.

"I also want to live in the lower bunk. I don't want to climb up and down every day." said a short boy. Xiang Nan remembered that his name was Gregory Foley.

"Okay, then I'll choose the upper bunk. To be fair, how about you three draw lots to see who gets to live on the upper bunk?" Xiang Nan suggested.

In fact, he would rather live on the upper bunk because it is quieter there.

Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory all nodded.

Xiang Nan then helped them make three lots, one of which had "up" written on it, and two of which had "down" written on them. "You can choose for yourself, and you have to accept the loss if you lose."

The three of them each picked one and opened it. Gregory won the prize and drew the note that said "up". "Bad luck!" This made him very depressed. He still accepted the result.
