Chapter 849: The crown of growing wisdom

Maybe Helena Ravenclaw will know something...

Ivan's heart moved and thought of the ghost lady who hadn't seen him for a long time. He was busy dealing with the Ministry of Magic before and almost forgot the other party. It seemed necessary to meet Helena again.

...

In the middle of the night, in the tower of Ravenclaw, an owl quietly got in from the open window, and after landing, it changed into a human form again.

Ivan looked around, and soon found the ghost lady in front of the white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Helena obviously also noticed the arrival of Ivan, but she pretended not to see it, and moved her body towards the depths of the corridor.

Ivan frowned and felt a little strange, but he still followed in stride and greeted him.

"Good evening, Ms. Helena!"

The erratic female ghost reluctantly stopped her steps, turned her head, cast a weary look at Ivan, and said casually. "Good evening, Hals, it's been almost a year since we met last time. I didn't expect you to come to me... Is there anything else you haven't figured out?"

Ivan touched his nose. How could this inexplicably have a sense of sight of a saddler seeing his ex-wife.

Fortunately, from Helena's few words, Ivan also found the reason for the other's cold attitude, and a little apologetic suddenly appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Helena, too many things have happened at Hogwarts during this time, which has affected my energy... and I want to surprise you too!" The white gold crown studded with gorgeous sapphires was taken out.

Helena’s gaze was instantly attracted, she slowly floated in front of Ivan, looking at the crown in Ivan’s hand intoxicated, her eyes full of nostalgia and sadness, and finally she gently extended her hand as if she wanted I want to lift up the crown, but it is a pity that my arm passed directly through it.

At this time, Helena suddenly remembered that she was a ghost, unable to touch things in reality.

Helena sighed low, but she also keenly noticed that this crown didn't seem to be as badly damaged as Ivan said before.

"Of course it is true. I stole it to become smarter than my mother." Helena sighed.

"Then, did you succeed?" Ivan did not rush to ask how the Ravenclaw crown was used, but asked curiously.

To be honest, it is hard for him to imagine that relying on a magic item can make a person incredibly smart...

"I succeeded, but maybe I also failed..." Helena slowly floated to the bust of Ravenclaw, staring at it after a long time before suddenly speaking. "Have you been to the laboratory in the responsive room?"

Ivan nodded, but he didn't understand why Ms. Ghost mentioned this suddenly.

Helena ignored Ivan's confusion, but said to herself.

"My mother, Roina, is a very smart witch, not...it should be said that she was the smartest person in the magic world at the time."

"But it is precisely because she is so intelligent that she is fascinated by the magic of magic, and wants to explore the mystery of magic... and even unsatisfied to make a golden crown that can make people smarter..."

Helena faintly talked about the past. As the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, she was full of expectations since she was born.

It's a pity that compared to the mother of Tianzong Wizard, her talent is only the level of an ordinary genius, no matter how hard she tries, she can't match her mother's in case.

Probably she was disappointed with her performance. After she became a little sensible, Roina devoted most of her energy to the study of magic, and the time she spent with her became less and less.

This made the young Helena feel resentful, and she also envied her mother's incomparable wisdom, no matter where she went, she could always get praise from others easily.

"At the time, I was stubborn that if I could become smarter and more prestigious than my mother, then she would probably be willing to look at me more..." Helena said in a low voice.

"So you stole the crown?" Ivan asked.

Helena nodded gently, then turned to look at the golden crown in Ivan's hand, and said with emotion. "When I wore this crown, I knew I was wrong. It was very wrong, but I don't want to be soft to my mother. I want to prove to her that what she can do, I can do the same..."
