This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 428 The Key to the Door
"Tie Peeves to the brass ring on the lounge door?"

Professor Flitwick stared at Andrew with a puzzled look in his eyes.

If someone else said something so outrageous, he would have kicked them out of his office directly - only students dared to provoke that guy. Anyone who had studied the school history seriously knew that Peeves's prankster form had the lowest combat effectiveness.

If this thing gets enraged, it would be like igniting a powder keg in the school, hurting everyone indiscriminately.

"This is the hardest part, Professor. This is why I can't make a decision."

Andrew did not put pressure on his dean - to be honest, he was not a believer in ancient magic. Even if it was the ancient magic that was said to suppress the world, he did not think it was perfect and did not need any changes.

Whether it is magic research or scientific research, archaeology sounds like it means decline and the inability to conduct further research - you can't just say that the ancient wizards killed people indiscriminately and ended the wizard generation...

Even if there is a real generational gap, we still need to fully understand the technology before developing further. If we just rely on our old capital, we will eventually lead to decline.

"Let me think about it," Professor Flitwick said hesitantly.

The risk of keeping Peeves there was too great - if the price was the same as hanging the dean on the wall of the lounge, he would have hesitated and gone up himself, but he still couldn't make the decision to let the students take the risk.

"Go ask Albus for help," Professor Flitwick finally shook his head. "Although it belongs to our school, Peeves doesn't care about it. If Albus can't help, forget it."

The dean seemed to have made up his mind. He left the office without even looking back and trotted straight towards the principal's office, which stunned Andrew.

"The dean is... unusually quick in his actions. It's rare to see him act so hastily."

Andrew shook his head and prepared to leave the dean's office.

But when he looked up, he noticed a sentence on Professor Flitwick's desk.

Extraordinary intelligence is mankind's greatest wealth.

Andrew was stopped by these words, which he had heard countless times since the beginning of the school year.

He stopped where he was and began to think.

If Lady Ravenclaw had left the Chamber of Secrets behind, would it have been such a crude ordeal?
Catching a guy with not weak fighting ability and stuffing him into the door knocker, does that meet her expectations of the students of her own academy?
Is this reasonable?

No, that didn't make sense - that wasn't how Ravenclaws worked!
"If I want to test... well, use your brain, use your brain... then the only way is fraud, yes, only fraud!"

For a guy like Peeves, whose fighting ability is unknown and becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, the only way to get him in is to cheat or exploit the rules.

In other words, the idea is not to catch it into the door knocker, but to trick it into the door knocker!
"Not entirely. There's also the use of rules to get him in. Bloody Baron... Ask for help from Bloody Baron? Peeves is afraid of him, so he promised to give Bloody Baron some benefits so that he could arrest Peeves?"

That makes sense, but how can such a mechanism be connected? Moreover, how could a normal and excellent Ravenclaw have the conditions to convince the Bloody Baron?

"No, if Sirius's inference is correct, the fear of the Bloody Baron is due to the identity and measures of the first administrator!"

'Mr Filch's way!'

Andrew's eyes became brighter and brighter!

He finally remembered the most amazing thing he had seen at that time, which was about the amazing fighting power of Peeves. The administrator, Ranchos Calpe, had set up an ingenious trap with various baits and successfully lured Peeves into the trap!
"That's not an ordinary trap. It's information handed down by the school administrator. Those things are not used to drive away Peeves, but to lure Peeves over and then lock him on the door knocker!" Although it has not been tested, Andrew can't think of a more appropriate explanation.

At least, among the existing methods, this is the most reliable one.

"But I can't show up. If my guess fails and that guy finds out it's me, he might go berserk again. Having a little power in school is a problem..."

The person to take action needs to be considered, but this statement must be verified quickly with a professor.

-

"Interesting idea, Andrew."

Dumbledore nodded in praise, "Originally I was going to persuade Filius to give up, but if that's the case, we can give it a try. We've seen it before, but if it's a student, the damage it causes is actually average."

But the psychological damage exploded directly...

"Neither Sirius nor Nina can show up. You have to go to the college lounge to find a suitable candidate. Andrew, you will set the trap, but he must be the one to lure the enemy out. Otherwise, the risk will be too great."

Dumbledore paused for a moment, "Filius, this is the limit."

But a disapproving voice came from the wall, "Albus, this is too risky. When that guy gets crazy, he really won't care about anything. Do you plan to retire early?"

Principal Eupraxia Moore expressed her dissatisfaction on the painting.

She did have the power - she had been tricked by administrator Ranchos Calpe into signing the school's surrender agreement to Peeves.

"You don't know what Peeves is doing! He's firing cannons in the castle! That idiot Rancoros put a cannon in the trap! And a large-caliber muzzle-loader! Peeves is running rampant throughout the castle!"

This is too free...

After hearing the description of the person involved, Andrew also felt pressured - Ravenclaw's treasure was really difficult to obtain under such danger.

But Dumbledore was tougher than Andrew had imagined. He thought about it, and finally shook his head and rejected the proposal.

"Peeves has been tricked before, and the students have proven that their tricks alone will not make it uncontrollable. I think if Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets really exists, it is still necessary to open it for verification."

The headmaster turned his gaze to Andrew, his eyes firm, "I don't think Ms. Ravenclaw would play such a joke on her own outstanding student."

Although Dumbledore said this, Andrew suddenly thought of another thing.

"This... shouldn't have anything to do with Horcruxes? The tainted treasure of Ravenclaw was the diadem, and the headmaster misunderstood? But this kind of thing..."

He thought about it, but still couldn't explain it clearly.

"If weapons are necessary, I suggest using only cold weapons. A whip is a good choice," Principal Moore shook his head and made his final suggestion.
