This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

These bewitching words almost deceived Andrew.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong, he just felt that it shouldn't be like this.

It wasn't until he walked to the Ravenclaw lounge and saw the dark crowd that Andrew finally had an epiphany.

Although the pulling senior student kept giving the illusion that the organization with the largest number of people trying to enter the Ministry of Magic was still an unorganized group with the largest number of people.

Those who are left behind after being selected, those who feel that their ideas are not in line with their own ideas, those who cannot get along with the existing group and plan to find new like-minded people, those who are naturally distrustful of the group - these loose talents are the largest group of people.

The main reason why this matter was exposed so quickly is that the door knocker problem was too difficult today, causing everyone to get stuck outside the lounge.

If it were a normal day, then people would have returned to their rooms long ago, and at most some students would stay in the common area of ​​the lounge. This matter would probably embarrass Andrew for several days, but now looking at this dark crowd, Andrew only needed to simply multiply the number of freshmen to see what was wrong with what the senior said.

'So, it's not that the Ministry of Magic faction is the only one - it's that there are many schools in the entire academy, and everyone chooses companions who fit their own ideals... Even the Ministry of Magic faction is just the one with the largest number of people...'

Andrew wanted to laugh a little, but he still had to respect the seniors.

"Today's question is - what laws are being violated by casting Mandrake Loud in the hall?"

…

What kind of problem is this?

Andrew wanted to curse. Didn't he just say at the dinner table that the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker usually asks logical riddles?

But he thought about it for a while and found that this was not such a bad question - although it seemed very stupid, except for the somewhat ridiculous condition, it still relied on testing the students' familiarity with legal provisions and their understanding of the traps of the provisions. Know.

"There is no solution to this problem."

The senior Ravenclaw who brought them up thought for a moment and then decided to give up.

He turned around and explained to Andrew and the others in a low voice, "Even those guys who study loopholes can't figure out this knowledge. The library of Hogwarts basically contains various versions of laws. This means that unless those outdated ones are If you memorize all the messy laws, you won’t be able to answer this question at all.”

Various versions…

Andrew understood almost immediately the difficulty of this matter.

After several senior students discussed with the prefects, the prefects began to announce the plan for tonight - after several prefects worked together to widen the space at the door, sleeping bags were carried out one after another. .

Looking at the senior students' skillful methods, a question emerged.

Why are you so skilled? How many times have you slept outside?

After obviously entering Ravenclaw, I got a reason to stay out overnight without violating school rules...

"Sorry..." He looked for a student who looked like he was in third grade nearby, "If we have class tomorrow, what should I do with the textbooks?"

"Just answer tomorrow's questions - whether it's a bath or a textbook. Once the door knocker passes twelve o'clock, you will be disappointed and change the question... If you are still awake by then, you can go in and deal with it. Or you can wait until the next day. Wake up early the next day if you need to use the restroom, there is a public restroom on the fifth floor.”

"That's great..."

Andrew admired sincerely.

"After all, it is the experience summed up by so many students - the bathroom even has hot water supply, but the bathing issue has not been dealt with yet because it involves too many changes."

Good... Andrew now knew that just outside the common room was the Second Ravenclaw Common Room.

"That's great, but I'm still a little worried - what if no one can answer it the next day?"

The calm expression of the old student who was asked by him suddenly froze. After obvious helplessness, he sighed and said, "Then I can only explain it to the professor. Although it is not common, it still happens occasionally..."

…

Very good, join Ravenclaw's exclusive course and build a floor.

Although he still had many questions to ask, Andrew found that the senior who kindly answered was already very sleepy - after all, he had taken a full day's train ride to get to school.

Forget about him, Andrew, who was always energetic, felt very sleepy today. After a few minutes of not speaking, he felt like his eyelids were fighting.

He didn't even have the energy to look for his roommates - many freshmen had already found a corner and got into sleeping bags and fell asleep.

'So be it...'

He also found a not so bad position, got into his sleeping bag, and fell asleep directly.

——

"So sleepy..."

In front of the door knocker, the prefect and some senior students from the inner circle yawned and waited for the time to pass.

"I'm really jealous of the new students, they can just fall asleep..."

Looking at the sleeping bags on the ground, a prefect leaned against the wall and spoke in an envious tone.

Not every Ravenclaw can happily lie there waiting for dawn.

Even if the question is reset after twelve o'clock, it will not be figured out in a short time - in most cases, the question will take a period of thinking to be answered, and then the answer will be distributed.

If you understand the problem idea, or remember the answer, then you can come and go freely today. If you don't have either, then you can only wait for someone to take you in.

In Ravenclaw, which advocates wisdom, as long as you solve a few questions that no one can answer, then naturally some students will respect you - simple and crude, but recognized by all students.

You can't even bring people into the door of the lounge, who will trust you to lead others to do anything else?

Therefore, even if you are a class leader, after losing the opportunity to open the door several times, you will gradually lose your prestige - so, everyone talks, but no one is willing to really stay in the sleeping bag.

"Okay, it's past twelve o'clock!"

The captain of the Quidditch team looked at the time, yawned and stood in front of the door knocker.

"One hundred golden snitches have a defective product, there is only one brass balance, and no weights. How many times do you need to find the defective product?"

A new question was thrown.

After making sure everyone heard, the captain of the hospital team yawned and guessed a number at random, then said hello to everyone and went to sleep happily - as long as the hospital team won, everyone would ignore other questions.

Wrong answer - he lost the right to answer the question today, but it was not a big problem, he came to test the question, and now his work was done.

Amid the envious eyes of a group of people, he got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep happily.
