My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 247, Section 244: The Quick-witted and Eager-to-Learn Ravenclaw

Time flies, and Lynn has been holed up in the Room of Requirement for five days.

Over the past five days, he and Hermione have flipped through dozens of thick books on the history of magic borrowed from the library. In addition to researching what the goblin rebellion did in Hogsmeade, Lynn has also spent countless hours studying magic books specifically to address the question: "Am I worthy of this honor?"

He felt that the question Ms. Grey had asked him was a bit strange, with a strange sense of ritual and nothing to do with fairies.

But when Lynn asked Lady Grey and the Sorting Hat about this, they swore that the place was indeed built by fairies, which forced him to suppress his doubts for the time being.

However, the question he asked about the Sorting Hat, the kitchen painting, and the door knocker eagle is not mentioned in any of the magical histories recorded about Hogwarts. Hermione even brought over the copy of "Hogwarts: A History of the School" that Lynn had given her, which she had already read more than three times, but still found nothing.

However, Hermione did manage to find some clues about the goblins establishing a treasure trove in Hogsmeade during their rebellion.

Hermione opened a three-inch-thick book of magical history and pointed to a page of information to tell Lynn about her discovery.

"Sylen, one of the key leaders during the fairy rebellion, had already spread rumors about the irreconcilable conflict between fairies and wizards and the inevitable war before the fairies officially announced their break from wizard rule. Furthermore, he believed that in order to unleash the full potential of the fairy race, it was essential to unite all the fairies who could be united. At the same time, to prevent the fairies from being hampered in war by the lack of wizard-made wands, he proposed that the fairies jointly fund the establishment of a wand research laboratory exclusively for fairies to create their own wands."

"But even after the war of the fairy rebellion ended, they were still stripped of their right to use wands. Does that mean their plan failed, or that it never even started?" Lynn said, swaying back and forth in a rocking chair, having had a rare few days of relaxation since the start of the semester.

Hermione analyzed very seriously: "I am more inclined to believe that the goblins' plan to research wands had not even begun when the war of rebellion broke out. According to the descriptions of the goblin war, during the war, the Ministry of Magic prohibited any wand shops from selling wands to goblins and kept a close watch on overseas channels. Damaged wands could not be replaced, which had a great impact on the goblins. At that time, the goblins were not as skilled as they are now in wandless spellcasting. Suddenly having no wands for them to use made them lose all hope of winning the war."

If the plan devised by the fairy named Celeste had actually begun at this point, even if it failed, the fairies wouldn't be in a predicament of having no wands to use. Therefore, it's more likely that their plan to develop wands never even had a chance to begin.

After Hermione's analysis, Lynn naturally understood what she meant.

"The plan hasn't started yet, but the money has already been raised. There's no such thing as paper money or checks in the magical world, and a large amount of wealth undoubtedly requires a lot of space, so they definitely need a safe and hidden place to use as a vault."

Hermione continued, "Siron was one of the most important leaders of the goblins at the time. From his perspective, there was only one absolutely safe place!"

Lynn and Hermione exchanged a glance and simultaneously stated the location.

"Hogsmeade!"

"The goblins' headquarters were in Hogsmeade at the time; it was practically their lair. He wouldn't feel comfortable keeping so much gold and silver under his watchful eye, so the only place he could hide it was Hogsmeade!"

There is no written record in the history of magic of any goblins establishing a treasure vault in Hogsmeade, but Lynn and Hermione deduced it from some clues left over from history.

This undoubtedly proves that the information Lynn got from that old woman Daniel was correct: the "treasure trove" where the basilisk moved was very likely the place where this fairy used to hide money.

If the treasure trove was built by goblins and its location in Hogsmeade is confirmed, then it is very likely that what Granny Danielle said about the entrance to the treasure trove being in Hogwarts is also true.

In other words, Lynn's current direction is not wrong.

This news was invigorating for him; it would be a real headache if he kept working on it all but didn't find what he was looking for.

The appointed time with the door knocker eagle has arrived.

That night, Lynn took advantage of the darkness to arrive at the door of the Ravenclaw common room.

"Have you gotten the results yet?"

Upon hearing Lynn's question, the door knocker remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"Can you tell me how you got the answer so quickly?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow. In his previous life, he learned about permutations and combinations in high school. He couldn't explain it to the door knocker in a short time.

"Every concept in mathematics is interconnected. If you don't systematically learn from the basics, even if I explain the problem-solving methods to you, you won't understand. If you're really interested in this, I can buy some math textbooks from Muggles in a while, and you can study on your own. But can you even read books in your current state?"

The door knocker didn't seem to be an inanimate object fixed to the door; it replied without hesitation, "Of course, you just need to hand me the book."

The pursuit of knowledge is a quality possessed by almost every Ravenclaw, especially since this door knocker eagle was created by Ravenclaw himself.

However, Lynn is now somewhat worried about the future of the young Ravenclaw wizards. What will happen to those young wizards if the door knocker learns math and all the riddles it asks are math problems?

He was unaware that he had unintentionally tricked the eaglets once, and that the young wizards had spontaneously formed a math club.

The door knocker showed no intention of reneging on its promise; after accepting its defeat, it acknowledged that Lynn had earned its approval.

"Your wisdom is astounding, and on behalf of Rowena Ravenclaw, I am willing to entrust this great responsibility to you."
