This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 223: The school has two treasures again
"Black Lake, over there!"

"Huh? Oh my god, what is that for?"

"Let's go ice skating? Can the ice on the Black Lake withstand it?"

"ice skating?"

"Muggle ice games, very interesting, go and have a look, I wonder how he brought ice skates in, what a genius idea!"

Soon, all the students who had a lot of free time during the Christmas holidays came here in droves - mainly because it looked very interesting. Although playing Explosive Cards or chess was also fun, it was not as novel as this.

"Taylor!"

The Ravenclaw senior who stayed behind quickly recognized Andrew and shouted loudly.

"what?"

Andrew came over quickly and turned an arc before stopping.

"what's up?"

"That's an ice skate, right? I learned about it in Muggle Studies. How did you bring it in?"

"Transfiguration."

Andrew said in a muffled voice while finding a stone to knock on, then handed over the new skates. "It's mainly about getting familiar with the structure, but it's not a big problem."

"But that one is?"

"The Bubble Head Charm. I'm afraid I'll fall. I think the potion is lacking in treatment here."

"A wise choice. A broken arm only takes ten minutes. The head is what we should protect."

...

Soon, Ice Blade was imitated by students one by one - especially the Gryffindor students, who were very skilled in Transfiguration.

then…

school clinic.

“Christmas holiday…why are so many people catching colds?”

"Achoo...Madame Pomfrey...We fell into the Black Lake...Ah, Achoo!"

The students who arrived in groups made Madam Pomfrey frown. She was originally enjoying her vacation, but now she is busier than usual...

"What's going on? So many people jumping into the Black Lake? What are you doing?"

Because so many people were sneezing, the potion had to be brewed on the spot, and Madam Pomfrey looked very bad.

"We were actually having fun. Ice skates - a Muggle sports product used to slide on ice. Ah, sneeze!"

The senior student being questioned sniffed and said, "Then the ice was broken by the giant squid, and everyone fell into the lake."

"That squid? It only saves people who fall into the water. What did you do?"

“It’s just skating…”

...

Andrew on the side felt inexplicably guilty - he now strongly suspected that he was the one who had done something wrong.

Because his Transfiguration was completely immature, the ice in that area was too thick... plus the squid probably wanted to get some fresh air, so the ice surface was broken...

Of course, it could also be because the deformed ice is not qualified - but judging from the rules, it should be very harmonious...

I can't figure it out - and he's not responsible for it.

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey did not ask any further questions, and the matter was over quickly - the potion was ready, and everyone drank a portion. Everyone became like a steam engine, with steam coming out of their ears, and began to greet each other and laugh at each other.

Although there were negatives, the medicine worked. So, the group quickly separated and went back to their own work - they couldn't go to the Black Lake, as the squid obviously had some objections.

-

"Have you heard? A new treasure has been discovered!"

Harry and Sirius heard this at the dining table after they finished their Transfiguration lesson and came out of Sirius' office.

"Treasure?"

"Yes, those seniors found it. It seems that the key to the solution is the Black Lake in winter. They performed some strange ritual magic on the lake and summoned the squid! The ice was broken!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true - I saw a group of people coming out from Madam Pomfrey's place. If the summoning hadn't failed, how could they have been injured?"

"That statement does make sense. How could he get hurt if the summoning didn't fail? No wonder a bunch of people stayed in school. So that's what's going on!"

After half a day of fermentation and a lot of speculation, Andrew and his friends' skating behavior directly became a ritual magic, and even played a partial role.

The previous skating action only mobilized some students who could not stay, but now everyone is very excited and even have conflicts.

What? Just skating, with Muggle skates?

Heh, Ice Blade summoned the Squid from the Black Lake, do you think I'm a kid? Peeves' secret treasure is shared by everyone, but when it comes to the Squid, you guys are eating it all by yourself!
Something that even Andrew, the instigator, dared not imagine happened - a fictitious secret treasure in the castle was born!
But, there is no use in explaining.

Conspiracy theories definitely prevail in this kind of thing, and the most important point is that Peeves actually exploded...

This is very frustrating.

"Forget it, they are just killing time... Anyway, I have completely stabilized my understanding of the lawn today, and I can start learning new magic tomorrow. I won't join in the fun even if they are there. My treasure is more precious."

-

"Merlin's beard... what happened? Is it exposed?"

At the Slytherin table, a student frowned.

He spent a lot of money to buy a very likely treasure speculation, at least to break even, but now, it's exposed?
'Which bastard did this?'

He even had some doubts about the seller - but the other party didn't even stay in school, and the data he provided in the early stage was correct.

He had dug the soil near the Black Lake and found that the composition was indeed a bit off.

The gold content is frighteningly high, and the soil contains a lot of miscellaneous ingredients.

There is a small gold mine near the bottom of the lake, but there is also a possibility that there is a treasure near the Black Lake. Over the years, the erosion of the lake has caused gold residue on the lakeshore.

Anyway, that’s how the other party analyzed it—calling it an advanced Muggle theory.

This cannot be verified, but even if there is no treasure, exchanging the gold mine for Muggle money would be a significant supplement.

Anyway, it doesn't harm the interests of Hogwarts. At worst, we can dig it out and share the profits with the school.

Anyway, his family is confident that they can take on the project of cleaning up the silt in the Black Lake - after all, they have some connections with the school board, so at most they can do it for a low price.

Some time ago he even wanted to laugh - that Andrew destroyed the lawn every day, so he should just take over the lawn business next Easter.

But what happens now?
A bunch of robbers and bandits, even got the squid out!
It would be fine if he just robbed it, but he hasn’t succeeded yet. He has called on a bunch of people to take it, so how is he going to get it later?
Damn Ravenclaw, you guys sell the same thing twice?
No - No, if I knew how to summon a squid...

Not to mention that the other party shouldn't know that, even if he knew it, he should still sell it to him in that way and at a higher price.

...

'Rogue, shameless, banditry...'

He muttered to himself, and then thought about what he should do next to keep his family's secrets - if all else fails, he could sell it to his connections on the school board and see what they would do...
