A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 60 Ravenclaw's Successor (First Update)

Professor Binns stood on the podium, and all eyes were on him.

"Ravenclaw is undoubtedly a perfect witch. She is so outstanding that it has aroused some rumors that people speculate that she possesses legendary magical artifacts that have helped her gain so much wisdom."

"Among them, the most widely circulated are the Ravenclaw tiara and ring."

Although Professor Binns' voice was unpleasant, everyone listened attentively.

This kind of scene is not common. Professor Binns was a little hurt. When he taught, people were not so serious!

He cleared his throat and continued, "Ravenclaw's crown and bronze rings, the most famous of which is, of course, her crown."

The crown was a jewel-encrusted, sparkling crown, with Ravenclaw's famous motto inscribed on its base: "Superior intelligence is the greatest treasure of mankind."

Legend has it that she enchanted the crown, increasing the wearer's wisdom.

Everyone's breathing quickened.

Such intelligence-boosting items are undoubtedly extremely attractive. As long as one's base stats aren't too low, equipping them will almost certainly turn them into a genius.

Who doesn't want to be a genius?

Professor Binns glanced around and said quickly, "As for Ravenclaw's bronze ring, it cannot increase intelligence."

However, legend has it that the ring can freely manipulate time, appearing at any point in time, and unlike the 'Hour Reversal Charm,' it doesn't have serious side effects.

"Hour Reversal Spell"... William heard an unfamiliar term, wrote it down in his book, and planned to look it up at the library when he had time.

Professor Binns lowered his voice and said, "Some people say that Ravenclaw uses this ring to constantly go back in time to learn and correct her mistakes, which is why she never makes mistakes and learns so much knowledge."

Professor Binns' voice grew softer and softer, as if he were telling a ghost story.

"It is said that after Ravenclaw's tiara was lost, she hid the ring to prevent theft from happening again until her true heir came to the school."

Only that heir can receive the ring and inherit her legacy.

The story was over, and the class fell silent, but not the drowsy silence that was typical of Professor Binns' classes.

Everyone kept staring at him, hoping he would continue. The atmosphere was unsettling, and Professor Binns became even more annoyed.

"Of course, the whole thing is complete nonsense," he said disapprovingly. "Ravenclaw's crown has long been lost, and there's no magic that increases wisdom."

As for the ring, that's utter nonsense. No one has ever found a ring with any special properties in the Ravenclaw common room.

"But, sir," Artur of Slytherin House raised his hand after a moment.

He asked, "Since only Ravenclaw's heir can inherit that door knocker, others might not even realize its special nature, right?"

"Nonsense," Professor Binns said in an annoyed tone. "Ravenclaw College has so many outstanding wizards graduating every year."

Many of them even became Minister of Magic and Headmaster of Hogwarts. If even such outstanding wizards couldn't find the ring, who could possibly be Ravenclaw's successor?

"But, Professor," Marietta cried out, "it will probably require dark magic to find it—"

"Just because a wizard doesn't use dark magic doesn't mean he can't," Professor Binns said sharply. "I repeat, since even someone like Professor Flitwick can't—"

"But sir," Marietta said reluctantly, "that Death Eater must have found some clues to be so convinced, right?"

"A clue?" Professor Binns said angrily. "I'm telling you, the door knocker in the Ravenclaw common room has been lost more than once. It happens every few years."

Everyone stared at Professor Binns in horror.

"Yes, every now and then it mysteriously disappears. I dare say that the other party stole the door knocker because they heard such rumors."

But if it were useful, the door knocker wouldn't still be there—”

"So, that Death Eater definitely can't be resurrected... Mystic?" Hans Bibble asked cautiously.

The classroom suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Professor Binns; after talking for so long, what they really wanted to ask was this very question.

"Obviously, he can't be resurrected; that Death Eater was just a madman."

"But Professor, the madman you're talking about stole the door knocker right under Professor Dumbledore's nose."

"Enough," Professor Binns said sternly.

"This is a fairy tale! It doesn't exist at all! I really regret telling you this ridiculous story!"

If you're willing, let's go back to history, back to the real, credible, and reliable facts!

Professor Binns started lecturing from the textbook and stopped responding to the students' questions.

Within five minutes, the students were back to their drowsy state.

"Can that door knocker really take you back to the past?" Qiu asked after class.

Everyone was struggling through the crowded corridor to put down their bags and have lunch.

William glanced around, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but if that Death Eater could really travel back ten years and stop Voldemort's death, history would have been completely different by now."

Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, since history hasn't changed and Voldemort still died ten years ago, the other party definitely couldn't travel back in time.

At this moment, a large area around the two of them was cleared up because they had just mentioned Voldemort's name.

To be honest, William didn't understand at all.

Those young wizards from wizarding families are one thing, but they experienced that era when they were young and were left with trauma.

But why would a Muggle-born wizard be afraid of the name Voldemort, to the point that he would shiver when he heard others mention it?

William was very puzzled.

If Voldemort is like this, wouldn't he be scared to death just by hearing the name of the Führer?
