Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 89 Ghost
As the self-hypnosis progressed, Mike's breathing became lighter and lighter.At the same time, Mike only felt that the magic power in his body was slowly pouring into his brain. This magic power was not as fierce as Mike usually felt when casting spells, but gave people a gentle feeling.

This feeling is very wonderful. When the magic power completely wrapped Mike's brain, Mike felt an unprecedented tranquility.

This kind of tranquility is not the kind of physical tranquility we usually call, but a kind of spiritual tranquility.

The human brain is a restless machine. Even in sleep, it will exercise through dreaming, let alone in ordinary study and life.

It can be said that our university is thinking all the time and coming up with new ideas, although most of these are meaningless.Just because we haven't found it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it's just because we're used to it.

Mike's mind was clear at this time, without a trace of noise.There are no emotions such as fear, joy, worry, etc., and I am completely immersed in a tranquility that is difficult to express in words.Mike enjoys this kind of tranquility very much. He has never been so comfortable in the past forty years of his life.

And amazingly, this state is different from a coma.Mike's consciousness is very clear, and the speed of thinking has become faster without other thoughts to distract him.

Mike tried to move his fingers, wanting to test whether he could maintain this state while exercising.But to his disappointment, the moment his fingers moved, the special tranquility was broken.

Immediately, the fear of the future, the joy of mastering Occlumency, doubts about the light door in the Ravenclaw lounge... all kinds of thoughts returned to Mike's mind again, making Mike frown painfully .

Now Mike finally understood why Snape had kept his brain shut.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

The tranquility of the closed state of the brain is simply a supreme enjoyment for ordinary people, let alone Snape, guilt for Lily, fear and hatred for Voldemort and Dumbledore.These emotions tortured Snape's heart all the time. If he hadn't kept his brain closed all the time, Snape might not be able to bear it long ago, and thus did something extreme.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Mike.

In fact, he just felt uncomfortable for a while when he just exited the Occlumency state, and then he fell into a kind of ecstasy. He actually guessed the secret of Occlumency practice by himself.

Mike felt a little unbelievable at first, but he was relieved when he thought that the release method of the Patronus Charm, which is also a super-difficult spell like Occlumency, is just to recall his happiest memory while chanting the spell.

Perhaps the essence of everything in the world is actually a very simple principle, but people think them too complicated.

In the following days, Mike fell into a crazy practice.

Not only did he lock himself in the dormitory after school to practice Occlumency, he even practiced eating and class.In order not to let others find out, Mike also found a pair of sunglasses to wear.

Ever since, there appeared in Hogwarts such a strange person who wore sunglasses every day, and was unwilling to take them off even at night.Muggle-born wizards don't understand Mike's behavior very much, but those little wizards who have lived in the wizarding world don't think so, they think Mike looks handsome like this.

So soon, sunglasses became very popular in Hogwarts. Mike, who was obsessed with cultivation and unable to extricate himself, didn't realize this at first. When he found out, almost all the young wizards around him were wearing sunglasses.The most exaggerated thing is that many wizards who originally wore myopia glasses even directly replaced their myopia glasses with sunglasses in order to catch up with the trend.

Mike didn't pay too much attention to this, he laughed for a while when he first found out and then threw it behind his head. At this time, he had more important things to do.

He found that Ms. Gray, the ghost of Ravenclaw, was hiding from him.

Ms. Gray is Helena Ravenclaw, the culprit who stole the crown of her mother, Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw in the recorded history of Hogwarts, and finally caused her to die in depression, She is also the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw.

When Mike was investigating Ms. Ravenclaw, he immediately thought of this ghost who had witnessed the history of Hogwarts, but to his dismay, this Ms. Gray seemed to be hiding from him on purpose.

According to her classmates, she would stare at the statue of Ms. Ravenclaw in the Ravenclaw lounge for a long time every evening.But as long as Mike was there, Ms. Gray wasn't there.

Mike knew that those classmates would not lie to him about this kind of thing, and he could often see Ms. Gray in the Ravenclaw lounge last year, but for some reason, since this year, Mike has never seen her again. seen her.

"Could it be because of the claw marks?" Mike couldn't help thinking.

Fortunately, the other ghosts did not hide from themselves like Ms. Gray, but they were disappointed after Mike asked about almost headless Nick, the fat monk and other ghosts.

These ghosts are not very old, and Ms. Ravenclaw died long before they were born, so they don't know anything about Ms. Ravenclaw's past.

But the kind-hearted fat monk felt very guilty when he saw that he hadn't helped Mike, and told Mike that the oldest ghosts in this castle were Lady Gray and Barrow the Bloody Man, and only they were the most likely to know about the past of the Big Four. .

At the same time, the fat monk also warmly invited Mike to the death anniversary dinner held at the end of the month, claiming that this dinner was very meaningful.

In this regard, Mike refused without hesitation.

Mike, who has read the original book, of course knows what the Deathday Dinner is. A bunch of ghosts are playing around in one room. The icy aura emanating from them makes the whole room as cold as winter.The food and everything are rotten, and they cannot be eaten at all.It would be fantastic for Mike to leave the Hogwarts Halloween dinner for such a crappy banquet, and he wasn't Harry's kid who didn't know how to say no to others.

Regardless of the fat monk's efforts to persuade him to stay, Mike went directly to the eighth floor of Hogwarts where the Room of Requirement is located.It seems to be the permanent residence of the blood man Barrow. Almost every time Mike went to the room of response, he would see the blood man Barrow wandering in the empty corridor, as if he was looking for something.

And when Mike came to the eighth floor this time, the bloody Barrow was still there.It's just that there is another ghost beside Barrow, and that is obviously Ms. Gray whom Mike has been looking for for several days.
