Chapter 71

“Later, out of her guilt for her mother Ravenclaw, she chose to go back to the castle as a ghost. I followed closely and tried to get her forgiveness, but she kept being rejected. I tried Countless methods have ended in failure, to this day.”

“Now, do you still think this thing is simple?”

Blood Man Barrow’s voice gradually stabilized, his eyes returned to indifference, and he said hoarsely.

Ulysses sighed slightly, “I am deeply miserable for your misery. I will try my best to do it.”

“You must do your best. Otherwise, the Devourer Curse will stay on you.”

Blood Man Barrow raised his eyes and said in a cold tone, “Believe me, except for the curse caster Death, very few people know how to transfer the curse.”

Ulysses choked, frowning slightly.

Barrow, the blood man, didn’t care about Ulysses’ emotions, and said lightly:

“I don’t want to know how you cursed in your body. Similarly, you have to keep my affairs absolutely confidential. Can it be done?”

“as you wish.”

Ulysses was silent for a moment, his tone inaudible. He turned around and left the Slytherin cellar under the watchful eyes of the blood man Barrow.

The sky was completely dark, and the night climbed into the sky, and the bright moonlight passed through the window sill, casting a mottled reflection in the corridor.

Ulysses cast a phantom spell on himself. He clearly knew that the curfew was not threatened by the school’s curfew, so he did not need to deliberately abide by this school rule.

Hmm… as long as you don’t get caught.

Filch wandered in the castle holding an oil lamp, his gloomy eyes searching for students who had not yet returned to the dormitory. Mrs. Loris was still in petrified state, and he looked a little pitiful when he was alone at this time.

Ulysses stood still on the spot, waiting for Filch to pass by before taking his steps, his steps were light and barely making a sound.

He came to the West Tower where the Ravenclaw common room was located, thinking about where Helena Ravenclaw might appear.

Ulysses looked around the West Tower, but found no trace of the ghost. Not discouraged, he walked the long stairs to the top of the West Tower.

There was only an old polished wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on it.

Strangely, Ulysses was clearly in a state of disillusionment, but he felt that the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker seemed to come alive and was staring at him.

When Ulysses was hesitating whether to remove the phantom spell, the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker suddenly said:

“Phoenix and fire, who comes first and who comes after?”

‘It can see me. ’

Ulysses decided immediately. He pondered for a moment and replied:

“Karma for each other, cyclic symbiosis.”

“Ravenclaw welcomes students who have had talents.”

The eagle-shaped bronze knocker chuckled and unscrewed the plank to reveal a passage.

Ravenclaw’s common room is the only common room that allows students from other colleges to enter, as long as they can answer the questions raised by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.

Ulysses walked through the passage and came to a large domed house. This is his first time in the Ravenclaw common room.



There are delicate arched windows on the wall, with blue and bronze silk hung, and the beautiful scenery outside can be seen from the windows. The ceiling is a dome with twinkling stars, as is the dark blue carpet on the ground. There are tables, chairs, bookshelves, and a bust of white marble in the niche opposite the door. There is a door beside the stone statue.

It was late at this time, there were no students in the common room, only a few phantom ghosts were moving in it.

A ghost quickly caught Ulysses’s attention. She floated beside the bookcase, holding a book, reading quietly.

She is tall and has an outstanding face, but there is always a tinge of resentment between her brows.

She seemed to perceive the traces of someone’s movement, she raised her deep star eyes, her eyes pointed straight at the place Ulysses was.

Ulysses lifted the phantom spell, appeared generously in front of Helena Ravenclaw, bowed slightly and bowed, and said softly:

“Good evening, ma’am.”

“Good evening. Are you a Ravenclaw student? I don’t seem to have seen you.”

Helena asked with a hint of doubt.

“I am a student of Hufflepuff, and my name is Cedric Diggory.”

Ulysses thought for a moment, and immediately decided to put on a vest. He couldn’t guarantee that if Helena knew that he belonged to Slytherin, she would chase him out as soon as possible.

“Oh, a little badger.”

Helena raised her eyebrows, and there really wasn’t any fierce reaction, “Is there anything going on in Ravenclaw’s lounge so late?”

“Long night, I have no intention of sleeping, and I heard that the Ravenclaw common room has a collection of books comparable to the library, and I am here to borrow them.”

Ulysses gave an elegant smile and pretended to say casually.

“Oh, a studious little badger.”

Helena nodded, “Find it yourself, the number of books here is not as good as the Hogwarts library, but the quality is not bad. However, it is not allowed to be taken out of the lounge.”

Ulysses did not startle, his eyes wandered on the bookshelf in the common room. Soon he discovered that there are many kinds of books here, not only magic books, but also classics and legends of the Muggle world, which made him slightly happy.

He pulled out a copy of “The Classics of Shakespeare”, sat in a soft chair, and flipped through it gently.

The two looked at each other and did not interfere with each other. In the lounge, only the sound of pages turning and the burning of the fireplace.

After a long time, Ulysses sighed softly:

“Ask what love in the world is, and teach life and death.”

Helena frowned, as if a little dissatisfied that Ulysses had broken the silence.

“It is undeniable that the humanities and arts of the Muggle world are much stronger than the magical world. At least I have not seen such thought-provoking, twists and turns, and surging stories in the books of the magical world.”

Ulysses stared at the last line of “Romeo and Juliet” in the book, and said with emotion, “True love can cross life and death, can’t it?”

Helena felt a little strange, although she didn’t know where this feeling came from. She nodded and said:

“The Muggle World book does have merit, otherwise it would not be placed here.”

For Ulysses’ feelings, she did not comment.

Seeing that she was not answering the subject, Ulysses was secretly anxious. Just about to strike a good relationship with her while the iron was hot, he heard a door open.

Luna wore an elk headdress, wearing her toad glasses, and bounced out of the dormitory passage, happily greeted Helena:

“Good evening, Ms. Gray.”

Then, she looked at Ulysses who was a little stiff on the soft chair, took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, and then said in surprise.

“Mr. Lestrange! Why are you here? Did you come to play with me?”

Ulysses felt his body petrify inch by inch. Luna appeared so suddenly that he had no chance to stop it.

Sure enough, Helena looked at Ulysses suspiciously and said to Luna:

“Luna, you call him Mr. Lestrange?”

“Yes!”

Luna said with a smile, “Mr. Lestrange is very famous in Slytherin! He is a very friendly person. We were in a carriage on the train to the school…”

Helena’s gaze dropped bit by bit, she sneered and said:

“Hufflepuff, Cedric Diggory?”

“Madam, it’s a long story…”

Ulysses quickly wanted to remedy it.

“Slytherin, Lestrange?”

“actually……”

“go out!”
