With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

This is Zhang Qiu's guardian deity.

Since acquiring the magic Animagus, the guardian spirit she summoned has changed from a swan to this sphinx with a scorpion tail.

Then, the guardian deity spoke: "Exceptional intelligence is humanity's greatest treasure."

The sphinx hovered in the air for a moment, then slowly opened its mouth, its voice revealing Zhang Qiu's gentle and melodious tone:

"Exceptional intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."

It continued, “Congratulations! I am Cho Chang, the prefect of the sixth year. I am delighted to welcome you to Ravenclaw. Our emblem is an eagle soaring high above an unparalleled peak; our colors are sky blue and silver; and our common rooms offer panoramic views of the Hogwarts campus through their round windows: the Great Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, and the greenhouses. These views are a privilege reserved only for the students of Ravenclaw.”

The young wizards finally regained order, and Padma breathed a long sigh of relief.

She looked at Zhang Qiu with admiration and curiosity in her eyes.

She had always known that Zhang Qiu was excellent, but the level of magic Zhang Qiu displayed today still surprised her.

"Zhang Qiu, your Guardian Angel Spell is truly amazing!" Padma exclaimed sincerely. "I've never seen anything that can make a guardian angel speak. How did you do it?"

Zhang Qiu smiled slightly and said modestly, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just about practicing more and having some understanding of magic."

Padma knew she wouldn't get anything out of him after listening. Which wizard in the Academy of Knowledge wasn't diligent in their practice? Which one wasn't focused on understanding magic?

In the Academy of Knowledge, 60% of the junior wizards could successfully cast the Patronus Charm, but she had only ever seen Cho Chang speak the Patronus. She suddenly thought of Levin, guessing that he could probably do it too, but she had never seen him use the advanced version of the Patronus Charm.

In fact, Levin rarely appears at the Erudite Society anymore; it's usually Hermione Granger, the know-it-all, who manages things.

As Hermione and Cho Chang delved deeper into their studies of arcane magic, Levin even began teaching them the lessons for Class Three. All he had to do was write the textbooks.

Taking advantage of Zhang Qiu's help in maintaining order, Padma composed herself and began her routine introduction as a prefect. She pointed to the door to the common room not far behind her, a hint of pride in her voice:

"This is where the most intelligent witches and wizards live. Our founder, Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, regarded learning as her primary ability. Therefore, we do not need to have hidden entrances to common rooms like other houses."

As he spoke, Padma walked to the door of the lounge and pointed to the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on the door.

"As you can see, the door to our common room has no handle, but a magical bronze eagle-shaped knocker. When you knock, the knocker will ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, you will be allowed to enter. For nearly a thousand years, no one other than a true Ravenclaw has been able to pass through this simple barrier—except, of course, those personally led in by Ravenclaw wizards."

· ········Requesting flowers···· ·········

Parvati noticed that some of the young wizards were starting to show fear in their eyes, and immediately encouraged them gently, "I know that some first-year students may be afraid of the Eagle Ring's questions, but please don't worry. We Ravenclaw students are good learners, and you will soon learn to enjoy the challenges set by the Eagle Ring."

She paused, then continued, “Imagine twenty or so people standing at the entrance to the common room, working together to answer the day’s questions. How meaningful that would be! In fact, it’s not uncommon for Ravenclaws. It’s not only an opportunity to showcase your intelligence, but also a great chance to get to know students from other years of Ravenclaw. You can learn from them and grow together.”

Parvati smiled, his eyes sparkling with encouragement: "Of course, you might find this challenge a bit annoying when you forget your Quidditch uniforms in your rush and need to go in and out of the lounge. So, I suggest you double-check your bags before leaving Ravenclaw Tower to make sure you haven't forgotten anything important."

.... .... 0

After saying this, Parvati gently knocked on the door of the lounge.

The eagle's beak opened immediately, but instead of making a bird call, it uttered a gentle, musical sound.

"Which came first, the phoenix or fire?"

Padma was speechless for a moment; she hadn't actually thought of an answer immediately.

When she enters the room alone, she is sometimes stopped by the question about the eagle ring, and needs to think for a long time. Sometimes she even needs the help of others to enter the lounge.

"Hmm... what do you guys think?" she asked, turning to them as if deliberately leaving the challenge to the freshmen. "What's the answer?"

The new students, recalling what Padma had just said, began to ponder, and a hush fell over the doorway.

After a long while, still no one gave an answer, and finally someone became impatient.

“Levin, it looks like you’ll be busy for a while. See you tomorrow.” Zhang Qiu broke the silence, then looked at the door knocker. “The answer is a cycle, with no beginning.”

“That makes sense.” Eagle Ring’s voice responded gently, and then the door slowly opened.

Upon hearing this answer, the freshmen all showed expressions of sudden realization.

Zhang Qiu took Luna's hand, and the two quickly walked inside. Before leaving, Luna turned around and waved to Levin.

Padma watched the two figures disappear into the distance, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

During that awkward silence, she almost couldn't resist calling on Levin, who had been watching her "performance" the whole time, to answer Eagle Ring's question.

Now, she could finally focus on guiding the new students into the lounge.

"Hurry up, you'll be dealing with this door for a long time to come." Padma didn't want to waste any more time and beckoned the new students into the common room one by one.

Chapter 503 Malfoy cheats on his wife?

In the Ravenclaw common room, elegant arched windows are open one by one, and a gentle breeze flows in, causing the blue and silver silk curtains to flutter, as if extending a warm welcome to the new students.

The rain outside the window has stopped, the sky is clear, and the stars twinkle, reflecting the grandeur of this hall of knowledge.

Beneath the deep dome painted with stars, a tall female ghost, dressed in a flowing medieval-style dress, is slowly drifting towards the girls' dormitory.

!'Group 8,5!766'34"4"'2Free"'!Extract times; Yuan chicken hedgehog pineapple,; radish:'See group introduction: add?q free to receive: 5:: discount'.Purchase agent:!

She seemed to be immersed in her own world until the arrival of the new students broke the tranquility.

The female ghost turned to look at the new students, her gaze sweeping through the crowd before finally settling on Levin. Her floating motion abruptly stopped, and she stared at Levin expressionlessly, a sudden smirk playing on her lips.

This change was almost imperceptible, but for her, who was always expressionless, it was a rather dramatic emotional shift.

"Looks like Levin is really charming; even the female ghost is attracted to him. Luckily, Blood Man Barrow isn't here, or he'd probably cause some trouble again," Padma muttered.

Levin's ears are so sharp; he heard the other person's complaint almost immediately.

Levin knew the answer to this question very well, but it was inconvenient for him to tell Padma "773"—Padma's biological mother was still in his hands. Therefore, in Helena's eyes, Levin's status was naturally extraordinary.

In fact, not only Levin, but also Helena, Cho Chang, and Luna have a good relationship with Levin.

Padma quickly turned her attention back to the new students. She turned and warmly introduced them, “Welcome to our common room! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful evening here. Look over there,”

She pointed to several open dormitory doors, behind which was a row of neat four-legged beds, which were the dormitories prepared for freshmen. "Our Ravenclaw beds are covered with sky-blue silk comforters, which are soft and comfortable to the touch. Lying in bed and listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the window to fall asleep is simply wonderful."

As she spoke, Padma pointed to a black square box in the corner of the lounge.

"That thing is the television that's recently become all the rage in the wizarding world. Thanks to Levin's generous donation, each of our houses now has one. Although the television station is currently only broadcasting pilot programs occasionally, I believe that exciting official content will soon be presented to everyone. However, please be careful when you pass by and don't break it."

Padma pointed again to Ms. Grey, who was still standing there, her tone tinged with respect: "This is the ghost of our college, Ms. Grey. You may have seen her at the dinner party. Her first impression might be that she is somewhat aloof and proud, and not very approachable."

The new students all turned to look at Ms. Gray, who stood there quietly, her gaze fixed on Levin, as if admiring something extraordinary.

Padma continued, “People from other houses might think she never speaks, but actually, she occasionally wants to talk to us Ravenclaw students. She is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts, and a very well-mannered and beautiful lady. It would be especially helpful to ask her if you get lost or can’t find something. She may appear aloof, but she is actually very kind and helpful.”

The new students looked at Mrs. Grey with curiosity, and after listening to Padma's introduction, they couldn't help but feel awe and curiosity towards her.

Just then, Luna poked her head out of the door leading to the girls' dormitory and waved cheerfully at Ms. Gray:

"Helena, why haven't you come in yet? I've already taken out the photos I took during summer vacation, come and take a look!"

Upon hearing Luna's call, Ms. Grey immediately spoke:

"Coming right now, Luna."

As she spoke, she stopped staring at Levin and turned to float toward Luna.

The young wizards watched as Ms. Grey and Luna disappeared at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, then turned to look at Padma, who stood there dumbfounded and embarrassed.

What happened to your promise of indifference?

One of the young wizards couldn't help but ask, "Senior Padma, why is Ms. Grey so enthusiastic towards Luna?"

Padma snapped out of her daze and gave an awkward laugh: "Well... actually, Ms. Grey isn't cold to everyone, she's just a bit introverted and slow to warm up, it just takes time to get used to her. Once she feels you're trustworthy, she's willing to talk to you. It seems Luna has successfully won her heart."

Padma could only spout these nonsensical words that even she herself didn't believe, cleared her throat, and abruptly changed the subject:

"Speaking of our four houses at Hogwarts, I feel it's necessary to give you freshmen a basic introduction to the relationships between them. Gryffindors are indeed outstanding; bravery is their most prominent characteristic. But if I have any minor complaints about them…"

Padma paused deliberately, looked around, and saw that the new students had all pricked up their ears.

"That's because they sometimes love to show off, and they're not as open to other people as we Ravenclaws are, and they're relatively lacking in curiosity."

As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the young wizard who had just asked Levin about egg drop therapy:

“Like this student, if he has a strong interest in egg divination, even if he sits in the corner of the common room all day and night cracking eggs and observing how the yolks fall to make divinations, our Ravenclaw classmates will not laugh at him. Many people will even be happy to lend a helping hand.”

The young wizard whose name was called blushed slightly and shyly ruffled his fluffy hair.

Padma continued, “Speaking of Hufflepuffs, well, they’re a breath of fresh air at Hogwarts. Friendly and helpful are just the tip of the iceberg. You know, sometimes I even think they’d be angels if they weren’t so passionate about gardening and cooking.”

As she spoke, a warm smile appeared on her face.

"Besides, if you encounter Hufflepuff classmates in your exams, you can completely relax. They won't be as competitive as some other houses; instead, they'll focus on their own performance."

She paused slightly, as if considering how to phrase her next words:

"Next, let's talk about Slytherin. I know you may have heard some rumors about them, but I want to say that they are not what you imagine them to be."

Padma looked around at the new students and continued, "Indeed, Slytherins have their own traditions and values. They value victory and sometimes even resort to any means to achieve their goals, but that doesn't mean they are all bad people. In fact, I've made quite a few Slytherin friends in the Erudite Society, and they are all intelligent and talented individuals."

She took a deep breath: "Of course, it's necessary to be wary before you really get to know them, but if you become true friends with them, you'll find that they are indeed loyal to their friends. So, if you encounter a Slytherin classmate in a Quidditch match or exam, be very careful."

Finally, Padma's face broke into a proud and radiant smile: "Now I congratulate you! You have successfully become members of Ravenclaw—the home of the smartest, most agile, and most interesting people. I believe that in the days to come, you will thrive under the protection of Ravenclaw!"

Meanwhile, in the Slytherin girls' dormitory, Pansy sat quietly in the corner of the common room, a hint of weariness in her eyes.

She had just helped the first-grade girls into their dormitories and needed some time alone.

She is not with Malfoy; they recently had a fight, and their relationship has reached a freezing point.

Today on the train, she had only been away from Malfoy for twenty minutes, but when she returned, she was shocked to find someone else's kiss mark on his lips.

The kiss was so intense that Malfoy's lips became swollen.

At that moment, she felt a mix of emotions, but as the heir of a pure-blooded family, she was no stranger to such scenes—she had seen this kind of thing many times with her father and was prepared to deal with it.

She knew that with the Malfoy family's wealth and status, it was normal for a few flashy, shameless women to occasionally throw themselves at them. She had already decided that as long as Malfoy could change his mind, she was willing to forgive everything.

However, what she truly couldn't tolerate was Malfoy's attitude.

She repeatedly pressed Malfoy for the girl's identity, but he remained tight-lipped, even shifting the blame to Crabbe and Goyle, mentioning things like artificial respiration.

What a joke! Does she think Pansy, coming from a pure-blood family, wouldn't know anything about Muggles? CPR is a first aid procedure for drowning, but how can someone drown on a train?

It's even more impossible that they resorted to any means in their panic. Malfoy wasn't being chased, and he didn't even have a single bruise on his body. What kind of first aid did he need?

Pansy was now furious; she felt like she had been made a fool of.

This infuriated her, and she decided to teach Malfoy a lesson—not to speak to him for a week.
