Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

"Ben, why are you following me?" Not long after Stephen left the principal's office, he noticed someone following him behind him. He stopped Ben at a corner.

"Ah" Ben was caught off guard by Stephen. He fell down and collapsed on the ground.

"Tell me, what are you doing sneakily?" Stephen had suspected something was wrong with Ben a long time ago, but this time he caught him. He pointed his wand at Ben, his eyes wary.

"Me, I just happened to pass by here." Ben stuttered to explain why he passed by.

"So I just happened to pass by the principal's office." Stephen smiled, "I don't mind spending more time to verify whether what you said is right. Tell me honestly what you are following me, otherwise don't blame me for using some tricks."

Ben avoided Stephen's gaze and whispered: "Stephen, you really have to believe me, I'm just passing by."

Stephen looked at Ben and smiled instead of angry, "Hahaha~ Ben, your lying skills are really poor. You followed me from the moment I left the restaurant to the corridor of the principal's office, and then continued after I came out. Follow me, this is really it”

Stephen looked at Ben, "Did you pass by?"

Ben looked at Stephen in surprise, "How do you know my whereabouts?"

"Because your hiding skills are as bad as your lying skills." Stephen did not explain the real reason, "Let me guess, did R ask you to follow me?"

Ben's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he quickly explained: "It's not him, it's me who wants to follow you."

"It seems you know who r is." Stephen's expression became serious, and his hand holding the wand tightened, "Tell me, who is r"

"I" Ben looked at Stephen hesitantly, "I can't say."

Stephen looked at Ben without saying a word. He was thinking about the relationship between the two, "Could it be from that day?"

"Even if you kill me, I won't say anything." Ben stood up suddenly, knocked Stephen to the ground, and then hurried out of the eighth floor corridor.

Stephen climbed up from the ground, shook his head, and heard Ben's footsteps coming downstairs, "Forget it, there is no need to press hard. At least I know that R and Ben are connected, which will make it much easier to find."

He patted the dust off his butt, picked up a button that Ben had missed, and observed it curiously.

"This shouldn't be on his clothes, right?" Stephen looked at the brass button with dark patterns on his hand and turned it over. "It says r on it. It's interesting. It seems that r may be more than just one person. It’s an organization.”

Stephen put away the buttons, then walked to the stairs to prepare for the Ravenclaw lounge, "But what is the purpose of r?"

Stephen was thinking about this issue on the way. If R's purpose was to attack students wantonly in the school, then Dumbledore should have taken action long ago. There were not many things that could be hidden from him in the school.

"If the target of the attack is only me, then there are only two possibilities. Either they know my true identity and want to study my soul." Stephen touched the pocket watch in the lining of the robe through his robe, "Or he has some knowledge of the cursed treasure house. interest."

"My cheap brother really gave me a lot of trouble." Stephen shook his head. Originally, he just wanted to live a more prosperous life in the magical world and enjoy the rare peaceful time. As a result, when he came to school, everyone was in trouble. kind of trouble.

In addition to these trivial matters, he also had to slowly study the notes left by Jacob. Although most of them were knowledge about tricky spells, they would always be useful one day.

"Phoenix or fire, which comes first?" Today's question for the eagle door knocker is surprisingly simple.

"It's the same question you asked." Stephen complained impatiently as he was thinking about things.

"Oh, it seems you have already been there." The eagle-shaped door knocker surprised him and actually started to communicate with him.

Stephen glanced at the eagle-shaped door knocker, "I thought you could just ask questions and answer the questions correctly to get by."

"It's useless to talk more." The eagle-shaped door knocker blinked, "And my most important responsibility is to let those who can enter into the common room, so I have to behave a little more seriously."

"So, where are you talking about?" Stephen looked at the eagle-shaped door knocker and felt that it seemed to be about to move.

The door knocker turned into an eagle, and it flew above Stephen's head and stayed there, "That's it, otherwise, where else?"

"So that's the Ravenclaw library."

"No, no, no." The little eagle shook its head, "I mean the things on it."

"Gryffindor's star magic is still the vault of the library."

"That starry sky was not made by magic." The little eagle flew back to the door and turned back into the door knocker. "He just used a clever magic to project a starry sky into Hogwarts. If you didn't bring that If you have a pocket watch, I think according to normal time, you are already a third-year student."

"The time there really slows down and how do I feel that you know the function of the pocket watch?" Stephen's mind was now full of doubts.

"Who am I? I am one of the most successful alchemy items created by Ravenclaw, and it also contains some of her thoughts. It is not easy to understand these." Xiaoying looked at Stephen with disdain, "How does it look like you? I've been holding onto that thing for so long, and I'm still just a headless fly."

"I have never studied these things. Besides, my knowledge base is not enough for me to study." Stephen spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "Since you know, can you please tell me?"

"Of course not." Kitty Hawk's eyes became even more disdainful, "I think the Sorting Hat made a mistake by sorting you here. You are suitable to go to a college like Hufflepuff where there are lots of people. Being a salted fish is the best for you. There are so many books in the library, but you only took a wizard chess production manual, and when you saw the black magic book, you ran away without taking a few steps..."

The eaglet complained about Stephen like this for five minutes before it stopped and looked at the stunned Stephen, "Why, I haven't seen the door knocker complain before."

"I really haven't seen them before." Stephen restrained his slightly exaggerated expression. "Knowledge beyond one's own abilities is a burden. Even if you take out a few books, it will take a long time to understand them systematically. If you have the chance, It’s better to wait until I have enough knowledge before I study those things.”

"Humph." Xiaoying sneered, "No chance. The library will only be opened once in front of the right people. I'm afraid the next time will have to wait until decades later."

"I'll probably have the ability to study them by then." Stephen smiled. He could still afford to wait for decades.

"You may not be the right candidate at that time." Xiaoying glanced at Stephen, "If you want to know about the pocket watch, just bring me something and I will tell you what I know."
