Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

The chorus at the end of the banquet was clearly a very good way to stimulate the young wizard's interest.

Throughout the journey, Qiu Zhang, standing next to Puni, felt an urge to shout and yell.

Hogwarts is amazing!

All the students sang the school song together.

The portraits even greeted them.

There are also many staircases that actually move back and forth!

Although she was excited, she managed to control herself well, only looking around the group and keeping her shouts inside.

Rumble!

They walked up to a staircase.

The prefect turned around and proudly pointed to the movable staircase, saying, "These freely movable staircases were personally designed by Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw."

"The Ravenclaw Dean doesn't want these staircases to be just brick paths or inanimate objects for people to walk on, but rather to be like true wizards, unrestrained!"

"So they sometimes go upwards, sometimes turn, sometimes hover in mid-air, and sometimes suddenly drift apart, just like a wizard thinking and hesitating!"

"Alright, the stairs are stable now. Follow me, and don't fall behind!"

As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped onto the stairs.

Puni and the other new students followed closely behind.

Qiu Zhang moved closer to him, his eyes shining as he surveyed everything around him.

Along the way, the prefects told them about the history of Ravenclaw.

"We, Ravenclaw, are the lineage closest to the sky among the four houses of Hogwarts. The headmaster of Ravenclaw once said that wisdom should not be bound by high walls and the ground, and the soul should soar upward like a bird."

"Therefore, our dormitory for the purification ritual was placed on the highest tower of the castle, where the wind is freshest, the view is widest, and it is closest to the stars and moon, making it the most suitable place for our thoughts to roam freely."

"Blue and bronze are the colors of our house. Headmaster Ravenclaw wants us to know and believe that vision and thought are far more powerful than brute force! Because we are eagles that survey the heavens and the earth, not beasts that chase their prey!"

"By the way, you know there's a main library in the college, right? Our Ravenclaw common room also has its own private study. There are no strict closing times here. You can hold a book and lean against the window, reading with the wind and starlight."

"I hope you know that Ravenclaw does not believe in rigid rules. We believe in the mind, in curiosity, and in never stopping asking questions."

"Though it is cold at the top, you can see the whole world."

"This is Ravenclaw!"

After the prefect's very inspiring speech, Akio's face couldn't help but turn bright red.

"Puni, I'm so excited!"

"Hahaha."

Even Puni couldn't help but applaud the prefect.

His gaze fell on an oil painting depicting the founder of Ravenclaw, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The magical world is so wonderful. Some people pursue power in magic, some are obsessed with bloodline and glory, and some choose to use magic to provide an infinite path for all souls that thirst for wisdom and yearn for freedom."

Just as the two were talking, the group suddenly stopped, and a commotion came from ahead.

"Hooray! Look what Mischief has encountered! A bunch of bookworm little eagles who only know how to study!"

Puni looked up and saw a semi-transparent figure blocking the stairwell, dressed in a tattered and gaudy clown costume, grinning and emitting a shrill laugh that made people frown.

"Go eat my dung!"

Pipi Ghost pulled a few brown dung balls out of his pocket and threw them at the freshmen.

"Hey! Get out of here!"

The prefect, standing at the very front, drew his wand, stepped forward, blocked all the new students, and used magic to deflect the dung balls.

The dung ball exploded, but no one was splashed.

“Pee-pee, I’ll tell Baron Barrow about this!” The prefect frowned.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared! Pee-pee is going to be punished by Baron Barrow!" Pee-pee dragged out his words and cackled, seemingly very disdainful.

However, his body language betrayed him; he laughed and slipped into the wall beside him, then disappeared without a trace.

The team set off again.

Qiu Zhang looked at Puni with curiosity: "That Pippi Ghost... it must be a ghost, right? Ghosts can actually touch real objects?"

She saw many ghosts while eating, but they were unable to eat and couldn't even pick up their knives and forks.

"Him... As far as I know, that guy just now, strictly speaking, wasn't a living being. I mean, he wasn't a ghost, nor was he a living being, but a mischievous sprite, an embodiment of chaotic energy."

"You mean, he's a troublemaker...?"

"You can also understand it this way, if you divide ghosts and spirits into two different things."

Upon hearing Penny's words, the prefect in front smiled and looked at him: "As expected of Lestrange, you are absolutely right. Peeves is not a living being; it can even be called a non-existent being."

"If you want to understand, you will learn about it after your classes start. Similar to Peeves, there is another type of Boggart born from fear."

“Boggart?” Cho Chang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s right.” Puni nodded. “Boggarts are born from people’s fears and can transform into the things people fear most, while Peeves is born from joy and mischief. He is born to play pranks and can touch objects, which is why he can throw dung balls.”

Why does Ravenclaw still discriminate between men and women in Chapter 23?

The appearance of Mischievous Ghost caused the freshmen present to steer the conversation in another direction.

As they ascended the winding staircase, they soon came to a heavy bronze door.

Three of the tallest towers stand in Hogwarts Castle.

The tallest building is the Astronomy Tower, followed by Ravenclaw and the Gryffindor common rooms and dormitories.

Puni had once heard a rumor.

According to "Hogwarts: A Fictitious History".

These three towers, the Astronomical Tower is so tall, is to make it easier for young wizards in the third grade and above to observe the stars.

The Gryffindor Tower was built to make it easier for warriors to display themselves.

The tower in Ravenclaw is tall, making it convenient for stressed students to reopen.

Of course, after listening to the prefect's explanation, Penny knew very well that Ravenclaw loved learning, and that the idea that they were forced to learn was a bit too far-fetched.

"See that door?" the prefect's voice came from ahead.

Puni, Qiu Zhang, and the others looked up.

The eagle statue standing with its wings folded in the center of the bronze gate is quite realistic, giving the feeling that it is about to spread its wings and take flight at any moment.

“Unlike the other three houses, Ravenclaw has no password to its entrance. To enter the common room, you must answer the riddle posed by the eagle-headed bronze door knocker.”

The class monitor stopped and then turned around.

"If you answer the question correctly, you can pass even if you're not a Ravenclaw student, but if you answer it wrong, even I will have to wait outside."

The prefect smiled slightly, his tone not particularly strong, but it carried a hint of pride in his college.

"Does this door knocker ask different questions to everyone?" a freshman asked, raising his hand.

"No, it only changes the question every day, but we don't know where it learned such tricky questions. Since I enrolled, its questions have never been repeated."

The prefect suddenly smiled and said, "After you enroll, you will often see dozens of students crowding outside the tower gate, racking their brains to solve the problem posed by the bronze door knocker."

"The puzzle for today has been solved by your seniors, but as is customary, you must try it yourselves before you can truly step into Ravenclaw."

The freshmen crowded in front of the bronze door, watching the prefect turn around and gently knock on the door knocker.

The eagle head instantly came to life, its wings slightly unfurled, and a clear, ethereal voice rang out, its gender indistinguishable.

"I have no voice, yet I can shout; I have no wings, yet I can fly; I have no feet, yet I can travel the world. What am I?"

The question wasn't long or short, but the answer jumped into Puni's mind in an instant.

He turned his head and saw that several freshmen, including Qiu Zhang and Marcos, were still deep in thought.

Puni didn't disturb them, and judging from their expressions, they didn't want anyone else to tell them the answer.

Puni walked to the door, smiled slightly at the prefect, and then knocked on the door knocker.

"Thought."

squeak

The door opened.

Puni went inside and closed the door again.

In fact, there is not just one exact answer to a question.

Therefore, Puni believes that this problem is still easy to think about.

His fellow freshmen will probably figure it out soon enough.

As soon as he entered, several older students were waiting there. When they saw Puni come in first, they immediately applauded and cheered.

"Lesterrange, you're number one!"

Another prefect is here as well.

“I know,” Puni smiled.

"Uh." Faced with Puni's lack of modesty, the prefect blinked, then laughed as well. "Are you going to wait for your roommates?"

This year, Ravenclaw College has ten new students, but only four of them are boys.

One of them was Puni.

The rest were all girls.

So it's estimated that these four people will definitely be sleeping in the same dormitory.

“I’ll wait here for a bit,” Puni nodded.

Indeed, just as he expected, everyone arrived at the answer very quickly.

The first one is Eddie Mitchell, who will be sharing a dorm room with Puni.

He wore glasses, was rather thin, and walked in with a slightly arrogant expression on his face.
