Chapter 134: Rowena Ravenclaw

Chapter 134: Rowena Ravenclaw

Here we meet Rowena Ravenclaw, a beautiful yet stern-faced witch who appears more like a living being than a memory. If Felix hadn't witnessed her solidify from an ethereal presence, he might have thought that Ravenclaw had lived to the present day!

The witch's gaze seems unfocused, but when she lays eyes on Helena, her expression becomes delicate, her eyes gradually sharpening. She is Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts from a thousand years past, a legendary sorceress.

"Helena, welcome home," she says.

"Mother," Helena chokes up, silvery transparent tears falling softly.

Ravenclaw's sharp gaze scans her form, then turns to look at Felix standing quietly nearby.

"Can you tell me how much time has passed, sir?"

"You can call me Felix, Felix Harp," Felix slightly bows, "It has been a thousand years, ma'am."

"A thousand years..." Ravenclaw contemplates the word, walks over to Helena, and gently wipes away the tears from her face.

"To see you again after a thousand years, what more could I desire?" Ravenclaw says tenderly.

"Mother, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have stolen your diadem, shouldn't have run away, and shouldn't have ignored Barro... I didn't even get to see you one last time..." Helena weeps sorrowfully.

"You're my child, how could that be considered theft?" Ravenclaw says affectionately, she lifts Helena's cloak slightly and looks at the black wound on her chest, asking, "Does it hurt?"Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

"It hurts, Helena is in pain, day and night," Helena holds her mother's arm, speaking with a slightly playful tone.

Ravenclaw lifts her daughter's hand, doesn't appear to do anything, but Helena's transparent fingers quickly turn fair and full, then extend upwards. In less than a minute, Helena transforms from a ghostly state to a solid one.

Her clothes change into a deep blue gown.

It's only then that Felix notices, Helena's hair is a vibrant wine-red.

"Mother?" Helena looks at Ravenclaw in surprise, suddenly falls from about two inches above the ground, staggers two steps, nearly falls, and is caught by Ravenclaw – time has passed too long, she has forgotten how a normal person walks.

She takes a tentative step, then another, and topples over directly onto the ground.

Lady Ravenclaw steps forward and helps her up, Helena leans most of her body against her.

"Try again, you haven't even put on your shoes yet, and you're falling like this!"

"But I haven't walked in a long time."

Felix observes all of this without any intention of intervening. All of this is like a fleeting reflection in a mirror, and at least he doesn't believe that Lady Rowena Ravenclaw has the power to resurrect the dead.

Besides, she's just a memory.

Who had this kind of authority? Dumbledore stood up with a serious expression.

The rotating stairs within the castle began to twist violently, and some suits of armor emitted creaking sounds.

In the underground spaces of Hogwarts, in a secluded and abandoned classroom, the Bloody Baron floated expressionlessly in mid-air.

A gust of wind blew, awakening the desiccated Baron. His expression vacant, he scanned the surroundings, finding nothing.

Inside the Room of Requirement, Lady Rowena Ravenclaw let out a sigh.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have let him come find you."

"Everything's in the past now," Helena whispered softly.

Felix let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, nothing had happened. He was worried that Rowena Ravenclaw might want to avenge her daughter and make Baron disappear directly.

Although both would result in a disappearance, the concept of self-liberation and being turned into a mist were entirely different.

"But... I seem to have found something familiar," Lady Rowena Ravenclaw said. Amid the somewhat puzzled looks of Felix and Helena, a worn-out crown abruptly materialized from the air, dropping onto the white floor.

"Is this your crown?" Helena exclaimed in surprise. "How did it end up here?"

Lady Rowena Ravenclaw stared at the crown. "You're clueless, and how would I know? I found it in a pile of rubbish... What do these young wizards think my laboratory is?"

Felix's gaze remained fixed on the crown. He shifted his perspective just as he did with the diary. Profoundly dark magic, eerily silent.

This was a Horcrux!

"It's containing a fragment of a soul... the despicable magic left behind by Salazar Slytherin?" Lady Rowena Ravenclaw's brows furrowed. "I believe it's called a Horcrux?"

"You know about this?" Felix asked.

"Of course, Salazar was famous in my time as well. Many of his spells, which could be considered wicked, have been widely circulated. But a Horcrux is indeed quite rare."

Lady Rowena Ravenclaw turned her gaze towards Helena. "Who did you give the crown to?"

There will be one more chapter. I'll try to finish this part today.
