“Each of you choose your favorite tune,” said Dumbledore. “Ready, set, sing!”

……

The Weasley twins truly lived up to their reputation as troublemakers whom even Dumbledore had to keep a close eye on.

The music was already a mess,

They successfully steered the crowd further astray with the tune of a funeral march.

After a few scattered attempts, everyone finally finished singing the school song and left the auditorium in a line, led by their grade leader.

Just then, Levin spotted a face in the crowd.

That was a face that shouldn't be here.

With gray hair, green eyes, a high forehead, and neatly arched eyebrows, his appearance possessed a kind of heroic beauty.

The only concern is that she is missing a scar on her eye.

Startled, Levin couldn't help but call out the other person's name:

"Sirira!"

Chapter 14 Ravenclaw Common Room

Hearing someone calling him,

The gray-haired girl turned around and gave Levin a surprised look.

She seemed curious as to why this freshman she had never met before knew her.

Their eyes met, and Levin immediately realized his lapse in composure.

At the same time, he can observe the girl more closely.

The girl was around fourteen or fifteen years old, and seemed to be in the same grade as the prefect, Penelope Crivat.

The two were walking side by side at the front of Ravenclaw, seemingly on good terms.

When Levin saw Ciri's face directly, he thought she did indeed look very similar to Ciri from The Witcher 3, only much younger.

In addition, her reaction when she heard "Cirira"

Levin was fairly certain that the person in front of him was the "Sintra Lion Cub," the "Daughter of the White Wolf," the "Daughter of Time," and the possessor of the Ancient Blood, Cirira Fiona Ellen Rayanren.

The question is, why is she at Hogwarts?

This isn't Kaer Morhen.

Levin had never heard of sorceresses or witch hunters in the magical world.

But considering that Ciri—that is, Cirira—possesses the ancient blood that grants her the ability to travel through time,

According to the Witcher novels, Ciri even traveled to medieval Venice and Poland, as well as industrial-era England, and even encountered Galahad, King Arthur's Grail Knight.

"Could it be that she traveled to Hogwarts on her own?"

Levin frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Given her background of a country destroyed and her family ruined, if she had traveled to another world because of her own abilities, she would never have been able to stay in another world and attend classes peacefully.

Suddenly, Levin remembered his earlier epiphany: [The anomalies caused by you will be gradually revealed.]

Is this my impact on the world?

Thinking about this, Levin felt that the mystery surrounding everything had become even greater.

After exchanging a glance with Ciri, Levin did not make any further contact with this senior student.

He didn't plan to reveal that he knew the other person until he had gotten to know them better.

Otherwise, there are many things that cannot be explained.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Levin followed the team toward the lounge.

Ravenclaw's lounge is farther away than the other three houses.

It is not built near the main tower courtyard, but on a tower in the astronomical tower complex, which requires crossing a stone bridge to get there.

In front of the tower, Prefect Penelope Crivart explained, "Hogwarts' ever-changing staircases were suggested and designed by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of the house. Be careful when you go upstairs, and don't go the wrong way."

"Our common room and quarters are on the west side of the castle, a bit of a walk away, watch your step!"

She's right, you really have to be very careful when walking on the tower's stairs.

The staircases here are constantly changing. For example, the staircases they are standing on right now are generated in real time as the group moves forward. In places where no one is stepping, the tower is empty.

As he walked, Levin began to feel troubled.

Indeed, both ravens and eagles need to live in high places.

But the young wizards are still human after all.

There's no need to make the Ravenclaw lounge so tall, is there?

Before Levin could lose all patience, they finally climbed the tall tower and arrived at the entrance to the common room.

The entrance is at the very top of Ravenclaw Tower; you can immediately see an ancient, smooth wooden plank.

There is a huge bronze door knocker shaped like an eagle on top.

Penelope, who was walking first, gently knocked on the door knocker three times.

The door knocker then emitted a mysterious, magnetic sound:

"I only work under pressure, only I can hurt myself, who am I?"

"diamond."

Penelope gave her answer almost immediately.

But she didn't go in immediately. Instead, she turned back to the freshmen and explained, "You'll find that other colleges' lounges have fixed passwords, but we don't."

"You can get in as long as you can answer the door knocker's questions correctly. Don't worry, the door knocker won't ask rigid logic questions, but rather some philosophical ones. These questions don't have just one fixed standard answer; as long as you have a reason that can convince it, you can come in."

"However, there is no need to worry about safety, because for nearly a thousand years, no outsider except us Ravenclaws has been able to pass through this simple barrier."

Upon hearing this, Levin raised an eyebrow.

Although Ravenclaw prefers intelligent people, it cannot be guaranteed that all intelligent people will be assigned to Ravenclaw, as the intelligence of the Hawks far surpasses that of the other houses.

For example, Hermione, a true academic genius, was sorted into Gryffindor.

If no outsiders have truly entered for a thousand years, how does the Eagle Ring ensure that only Ravenclaws can answer the questions correctly?

Perhaps the eagle's ring itself possesses the ability to distinguish who is coming.

If you encounter an outsider, the questions become extremely difficult?

But is it much easier to fight Ravenclaw?

"Don't be afraid of the Eagle Ring's questions. We Ravenclaws are good at learning, and you will soon learn to enjoy the challenges set by the Eagle Ring. It's not uncommon for a dozen or twenty students from different grades to try to answer the questions of the day together. It's also a good opportunity for you to get to know students from other grades."

The female prefect continued her introduction,

"However, this challenge can be quite annoying when you forget the books or Quidditch uniforms you need for the day... Therefore, I suggest you double-check your bag before leaving Ravenclaw Tower."

She finally opened the door, gesturing for the young wizards to enter:

Ravenclaw's common room is a large, round room with elegant arched windows in the walls, draped with blue and bronze silk, through which one can see the beautiful scenery outside.

The ceiling is a dome adorned with stars, and the dark blue carpet below is also decorated with stars, creating a profound, mysterious, and unpredictable atmosphere.

The room has large tables and chairs, and rows of bookshelves.

In the niche opposite the door is a white marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw, a woman of both beauty and wisdom.

A door next to the statue leads to the dormitory above.

"Through the arched windows of the Circus Common Room, one can see the entire Hogwarts campus: the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, and the greenhouses. No other house is fortunate enough to enjoy this view."

"Ravenclaw has another cool element: our people are very self-centered—some might even call them eccentric. But geniuses are often out of step with the average person, unlike some colleges where we think you can wear whatever you like, believe whatever you want, and say whatever you want. We don't dislike people who are different; on the contrary, we appreciate them."

Levin suddenly remembered Luna, the "crazy girl" who wouldn't be starting school until next year; Luna was often bullied because of her eccentricities.

So, is "appreciating the different" just one side of the story?

Or is the "crazy girl" really so eccentric that even Ravenclaw can't stand her?

“Speaking of outcasts, you’ll like our Dean, Professor Felix Flitwick. He’s often underestimated because he’s really short and has a high-pitched voice, but he’s the best and most learned Charms professor alive in the world—many of us also believe he has goblin blood, but please don’t be rude and ask him.”

"His office door is always open to any Ravenclaw with a problem. If you're unhappy, he'll unleash those delicious little pocket cakes hidden in the tin can in his desk drawer and make them dance in front of you. You can actually pretend to be unhappy and watch the cakes do a cowboy dance. It's really worth a try."

“Ravenclaw has a glorious history. Most of the great wizarding inventors and innovators came from our house,”

"Including Popetua Van Cert—the inventor of the moon-viewing mirror;"

"Lavigne de Montmorency—the great apothecary who invented many love potions;"

“Ignatius Wildsmith – The Wise One”.

"There were also prominent Ministers of Magic from Ravenclaw, including Millison Bagnore—who happened to be in office the night Harry Potter escaped the Dark Lord's Killing Curse—who defended the celebrations of all British wizards with his words: 'I maintain that victory celebrations are our inalienable right.'"

"And then there's Minister Loken McLeod, a rather intelligent wizard, but he prefers to communicate by drawing smoke from the tip of his wand."

"Of course, I've said before that we produce eccentric people. In fact, we've also contributed to the wizarding world the oddball Yurik, who wears a jellyfish as a hat, and is a classic joke in many wizarding tales."

"As for our relationship with the other three colleges..."

"You've probably heard of Slytherin. They're not all bad, but you should be wary before you get to know them."

"Their long-standing academy tradition is to win at all costs—so keep an eye out, especially in Quidditch matches and exams."

“The Gryffindors are not bad. If I have any complaints about them, it's that they like to show off too much.”

"They are also much less tolerant of outsiders than we are; in fact, they even laugh at Ravenclaws who are interested in ascension, or curious about the magical uses of troll eggs or egg divination—a method of divination using eggs."

“Gryffindors don’t have our thirst for knowledge, but for us, if you’re willing to sit in the corner of the common room all day and night cracking eggs and recording your predictions based on the different ways the yolks land, it’s not a problem at all, and you’ll probably find someone willing to help you.”

"As for the Hufflepuffs, no one would say they aren't friendly people."

"They are arguably the friendliest group of people in the school."

"You could say that you don't need to worry too much about the competition during exams."
