Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 187 187. Professor Ravenclaw
Scott looked into Jacob's eyes, felt his magic power, and confirmed that he was not lying, so he smiled with some relief.

It seems that I also have the talent of "mouth escape"?

For a while, he was quite complacent.

He said to Jacob: "It's good if you can think like this. If you are defensive towards everyone and get along with people only have conflicts of interest, what's the fun in living like that?"

Jacob let out a long breath, and leaned lazily on the sofa.

"Thank you, Scott."

He looked up at the starry sky dome in the common room, his tone was a little vague.

"I feel a lot lighter. It's like winter is over and I finally took off my heavy padded jacket."

Scott laughed and said: "It's not a small thing to be too tense. Beware of premature aging."

"Scott, Jacob."

At this time, Luna walked over with a pair of slippers, and sat directly on the sofa next to her.

"What are you talking about?"

She stared at the two boys curiously.

"what?"

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she stared closer at Jacob.

"Jacob." She said in an erratic tone, "Who drove away the disturbing horse for you?"

"Harass the Gadfly?" Jacob looked puzzled.

"She means you have a lot less negativity," Scott said, leaning back on the couch and laughing.

Before Jacob could answer, Luna turned her head and asked Scott, "Is that what you meant to say?"

"You can try to communicate with people in a way that they can understand," advises Scott.

Luna tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "But I don't want to lie."

"So be it." Scott said again, "If you don't want to, you really don't have to change yourself for others."

"Oh, I think you're right."

Luna clapped her hands happily and laughed happily.

After a few seconds, her laughter stopped abruptly.

Under the watchful eyes of Scott and Jacob, she calmly took out a magazine called "The Quibbler" from her wool satchel, and looked down quietly.

Only then did Scott turn his head, facing Jacob's confused expression, he spread his hands helplessly.

Jacob pursed his lips and chatted with Scott about the problems he encountered in his studies.

Of course, Scott found that he was actually a little nervous.

After Scott answered, Jacob visibly relaxed again.

As curfew approached, Jacob asked Scott one last question.

"If that was the time when I agreed with you to teach three times in transfiguration..." He asked curiously, "If I asked you for advice at that time like now, would you answer me?"

Scott thought for a while and replied, "Maybe, but he won't be as patient as he is now."

"Why?" Jacob asked.

"Think about yourself that day, kid," Scott said with a laugh.

"Well, maybe I'm really not likable like that." Jacob said, "No wonder you kept keeping a distance from me before."

Scott waved his hand and said bluntly, "You should be more confident and remove the 'maybe'."

The next morning, Scott was up early.

Taking advantage of the time when most of the people were still asleep, he came to the corridor where the Room of Requirement was located.

Thinking of Helena's study, Scott walked back and forth in the corridor three times, and the familiar door appeared in front of his eyes.

"Oh, it's you kid."

The eagle-shaped knocker on the door opened its eyes and gave him a look.

"go in."

"Thank you."

Scott pushed the door and walked in, closing the door behind him.

"Good morning, Scott."

Helena still stayed in the portrait in the study.

"Good morning, Helena."

Scott glanced at her in the painting.

He asked curiously, "Are you all in the painting?"

"Of course not." Helena shook her head, "It's just my mother's magic that I temporarily live in the painting. When my mother leaves, I will come back."

Scott was a little surprised, "Will you come back? I thought..."

"I know what you want to say." Helena said with a smile, "Do you think that as a ghost, I will leave completely after I have no obsession?"

Scott was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway.

Helena shook her head, "No, I can't do this, even though I want to embrace death as soon as possible, but I'm a Ravenclaw ghost, and I can't leave just yet."

Scott inexplicably remembered the magic that Dumbledore used when he tried to restrain Medea.

"Is it because of the magic that Dumbledore used?" he asked directly.

"That's only one reason." Helena said, "Now I can only tell you that the existence of ghosts in various colleges is meaningful."

Hearing this answer, Scott knew she would tell the real reason, so he stopped asking.

But Helena said again: "You may have heard of myrtle?"

Moaning Myrtle?

Scott nodded.

Helena sighed softly, "I also thought about letting her take over my position, but her personality is completely unsuitable."

Scott nodded again.

Come to think of it, if Ravenclaw was represented by a ghost who likes to drill toilets and only whimpers, the image...

"I see, she is indeed not suitable." Scott said with certainty.

Helena laughed, walked to the huge landscape painting, and the door appeared behind the frame.

"Go ahead." She beckoned to Scott, and then disappeared without a trace.

Scott stepped forward and pushed open the door.

"Good morning." He greeted Ravenclaw in the painting, "Professor Ravenclaw."

"Good morning."

Ravenclaw smiled curiously.

"It's been a long time since I heard a child call me a professor."

"You will be my professor from now on." Scott said with a smile.

"Of course, my promise is valid."

Ravenclaw smiled kindly.

"but……"

She changed the subject suddenly.

"I let you in today because I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, so I made it clear to you that I won't make mistakes."

Scott quickly said, "Of course..."

Ravenclaw held up a hand to stop Scott from speaking.

Scott shut his mouth obediently.

"You go," said Ravenclaw, "don't disturb our mother-daughter reunion just yet."

She looked at Helena who was in the same frame as her, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Scott was stunned when he heard the words.

What does it mean?
At this moment, Ravenclaw looked at him again.

"I don't have much time," she said. "Of course, after Helena returns to Ravenclaw Tower, she will bring you here again, and what remains here will be my true portrait."

"I see."

Scott breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then don't bother."

He bowed.

"Professor Ravenclaw."

After speaking, he exited the room.
