Batman's Owl Godfather

"We should go."

Katum stretched out his wings, "Go back to reality."

Bruce nodded, also stretched out his hand, and shook it with Katum.

"Katum, it suddenly occurred to me what my happiest memory is."

"What is it?"

"That's-"

Bruce wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "When you take me out of Gotham!"

To save Gotham, leave Gotham.

From outside the world, gain the power to deny the world.

"Well..." Katum muttered, "Then we might as well travel further."

"What?" Bruce asked.

"Nothing, let's go!"

The clasped hands of Katum and Bruce suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Bruce blocked the light, and his consciousness broke away from the dream and returned to reality.

…

"Cough cough cough——"

Bruce opened his eyes and saw feathers flying in the sky in front of him.

Countless owls stood on top of him, completely burying him in them.

Bruce was made to cough.

"Go away, go away!"

He waved the owls away before breathing normal air.

"What's going on!"

Bruce stood up, confused as to why these owls were standing on top of him.

Why don't you stand up for others?

At this time, Katum suddenly flew in from a distance, not knowing what he had just done.

"You're awake!" said the owl, "it's time to go to work now!"

Bruce twisted his stiff neck and asked, "What's going on now?"

"Everyone in the castle has been tricked," Katum said. "It seems they won't be able to wake up until the Ravenclaw heir is dealt with."

Or maybe one or two at most.

Bruce nodded, probably understanding the seriousness of the situation.

But he had just woken up from such a dream, and he still felt a little uneasy.

"Katum, I suddenly realized something."

The more Bruce thought about it, the more something was wrong. "Did my subconscious kill my parents just now?"

"Hey! You can't think like that!"

The owl quickly corrected, "You are a good boy, how could you subconsciously want to kill your father!"

"But-" Bruce still felt strange.

"That has nothing to do with you!"

Owl thought of a good reason, "Just think that there is a second personality in your body. Those things just now were all done by another personality!"

ah?

Bruce was speechless. Katum could also think of this excuse.

never mind.

Bruce decided not to think about it anymore and just treat it as just a dream.

Some things cannot be studied deeply, and it is best to be confused.

He returned his attention to the current problem.

"Who can be the heir of Ravenclaw?" he said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't think of an answer."

"It doesn't matter who she is, so what if we just treat her as Ravenclaw herself?"

Katum said, "What matters now is, where is she now?"

Bruce was right about this.

No matter who the heir to Ravenclaw is, he will still be beaten the same.

Katum had already asked the owl to search the mountains and seas, and searched the entire castle.

After all, Ravenna was nowhere to be found.

This is probably a riddle she poses to everyone.

Even if someone really relies on his own ability to wake up from the dream, he must deduce the location of the secret room before he can face her directly.

But where can Ravenclaw's secret chamber be?

Bruce couldn't think of it for a moment. It could even be said that there was no clue about the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets in his memory.

Never showed up.

"At this time, it's time to use our magical tools."

Katum took out the crown of thorns from the feathers and put it on his head.

Then a lightbulb flashed in his mind, and clues about the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets appeared in his mind.

"So that's it."

He sighed and said, "If we want to find Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets, we have to start from two aspects, namely 'Ravenclaw' and the 'Chamber of Secrets'."

"Are you sure you're not talking about nonsense literature?" Bruce asked.

"Of course not!"

Katum was in no mood to argue with Bruce about this now, he had become wiser.

“First, we need to understand the life of this old woman in Ravenclaw.

"Bruce, you should know that in addition to being a powerful wizard and alchemist, Ravenclaw is also an excellent architect."

Bruce nodded, he did know.

It’s no secret that almost any introduction to Ravenclaw will mention that she conceived the ever-changing floor plan for the castle.

The staircases that now move between different floors of Hogwarts are her masterpieces.

"In that case, when building Hogwarts, if she wanted to put some personal items in, it would be easy."

Katum continued, "Unlike that old guy from Slytherin who wants to build a secret room, he has to occupy the sewer pipes, and the entrance can only be in the women's bathroom."

Um?

Bruce frowned. Katum seemed to have casually revealed some terrible secret just now.

"Now let's look at the word 'secret room'."

Katum said, "What is a secret room? It refers to a room used for secret activities. Most of the rooms are sealed.

"Bruce, you have been in this school for almost two years, so you should have heard about it.

"Is there a closed room in Hogwarts that is full of ever-changing mysterious power and can become what anyone wants to see?

"And it is extremely secretive, and ordinary people can't even find the entrance?"

Having said this, it would be a bit rude if Bruce still can't guess.

"It is the Room of Requirement."

Bruce said calmly, "Ravenclaw's secret room is the Room of Requirement."

"Huh? Why are you not excited at all?" Katum frowned, "My reasoning just now should be very logical!"

Bruce could only sigh at this time.

"Katum, I admit that what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about one thing?"

He said, "We don't know the location of the Room of Requirement!"

"Stupid!"

Katum said bluntly, "This secret room is called the Room of Requirement, do you still need to find it?"

In fact, Katum knew the location and entry method of the Room of Requirement very well.

After all, it was there that he picked up the Ravenclaw crown.

But this time, he had to open Bruce's eyes and tell him what imagination in the magic world is.

Katoom flew over Bruce and came to the wall he had just leaned against.

Just like when he first came to Hogwarts and wanted to open the Room of Requirement, he silently chanted in his heart-

"Yingzi, Yingzi, yes, it's me again, the owl that everyone loves.

"Bruce and I are in trouble now, and we need you to open the door here.

"If you are still alive, please respond to my wish!"

Bruce has been watching Katoom's movements.

He was very sure that what he had just leaned against was just an ordinary wall.

To say that he happened to lean against the door of the Room of Requirement, Bruce thought he had no such luck.

However, just when he was sure that he was not wrong, something magical happened in front of him.

Several silver lines suddenly appeared on the wall, forming the shape of a door.

And then, a very smooth door appeared in front of Bruce.

The Room of Requirement actually appeared!

"How did you do it?" Bruce couldn't help asking.

"Faith, Bruce, faith!"

Katoom pressed his wing against his temple - if owls have temples.

"This is the charm of magic, full of wild imagination, as long as you believe, there will be a response!"

Katoom believes in the magic of the Room of Requirement.

For no other reason, just because he has read the original book.

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", the Room of Requirement once opened a passage directly to the Hog's Head Bar, bringing Harry back to Hogwarts.

The Hog's Head Bar outside the castle can be reached, let alone a wall inside the castle?

Now, the Room of Requirement is behind the door, and they just need to push the door open to face the heir of Ravenclaw.

"Are you ready?" said the owl, "You shouldn't be surprised who you will see later, right?"

"Of course not, because I have thought it through."

Bruce suddenly said, "The heir of Ravenclaw is Ravenna Royale."

Oh?

Katoom turned his head 180 degrees: "Did you break the spell?"

"What spell?" Bruce asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

Katum shook his head, because he had already turned his head behind him, and shaking his head looked extremely strange.

"Then how did you find out?"

"Logic, Katoom, logic!"

Bruce imitated Katoom's previous behavior and pressed his index and middle fingers against his temples.

Finally, he got his place back.

He told his thoughts: "Didn't the power of dreams burst out from the diary? We couldn't figure out how the other party did it before, after all, the diary had been in Professor Gale's hands before.

"Now it seems that through the Room of Requirement, it is easy to reach any place in the castle, so anyone has the possibility of accessing the diary."

Katum thought for a while and said: "You said anyone could be possible, so why can you be sure it was Ravenna?"

"Because Voldemort told us himself!"

Bruce said, "Do you remember that he once mentioned how Professor Gale played him? "

Having said that, Katoom remembered that Voldemort did say once that a first-year female student at Hogwarts had deceived him.

At that time, including Katoom, they all thought that Professor Gale was stinging the law.

Now it seems that it should not be the case.

There really was a little girl who came to him.

Although strictly speaking, the body of this little girl is a thousand-year-old woman.

However, this is still just a guess, right?

Katum wanted to ask Bruce if he had more evidence, but Bruce had already kept silent.

He had a mysterious smile on his face, as if to say, you owl always keep me in suspense, so now it's my turn.

Bruce felt that there was something wrong with Ravenna, and there was indeed another reason.

On the night when Gryffindor and Lockhart were attacked, Bruce had met Ravenna.

It was already very problematic for a little witch to run around alone late at night.

And at that time, Ravenna was walking from the direction where Lockhart was attacked, heading towards the location of Gryffindor.

Although the whole reasoning is still somewhat illogical, it is enough for Bruce.

He can already suspect others based on this.

"Since you have guessed it, let's go in."

Katum said, "Push open this door, we can never turn back."

"Let's go!" Bruce nodded.

The owl used its head to push open the door of the Room of Requirement.

...

Bruce stood on one side of a long, dimly lit room.

There was wind blowing in the closed room.

A figure was standing in the middle of the room with his back to them.

No matter who he was, Bruce had already seen that he was definitely not Ravenna Royale.

Because that was an adult male.

And at his feet, there was a small figure in a black robe lying, and Bruce recognized it as Ravenna.

Ravenna fell to the ground, who was standing there?

There is no need to say more.

That familiar back, the exquisite dress, and the faint fragrance floating on Bruce's nose. All of them revealed the other party's identity.

Gilderoy Lockhart.
