Chapter 636: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 269

The ghost lady looked at this room that could change at will, and her gray-white eyes also revealed dimness.

"I have some questions. In exchange, I will answer your questions."

The ghost lady looked at Sean.

"Please speak."

Sean waved his wand, and the diadem reappeared in front of everyone.

"How did you find it?"

The ghost lady said.

"Voldemort hid it in the Room of Requirement."

Sean said.

"It's your turn to ask."

The ghost lady said.

"Do you... want to pass on?"

Sean said deliberately.

"Sean—"

Jia Siting whispered on the side, and both he and Hermione had expressions of incomprehension on their faces.

"We are here to solve the curse of the diadem, so we can use the diadem, right?"

Hermione asked again, even more puzzled.

Before Jia Siting could respond, the ghost lady's voice sounded low.

"She chose you... she is always like this, that's exactly why I resent... if she were more ruthless, I..."

Gray-white beads fell from the ghost lady's eyes, she murmured.

After a long while, the ghost lady transmitted her voice to Sean's ear:

"I... have long had no face..."

"I understand, it's your turn to ask."

Sean lowered his eyelids and said.

"How did you know my name?"

The ghost lady asked.

"Mr. Owl told me."

Sean whispered.

"Raven? Heh—it has never spoken to me, of course, you are the one she chose, the one they chose together, but I am not—"

The ghost lady's mouth curled into a mocking arc; she glanced at Sean, but ultimately didn't say anything more,

"Ask, little wizard, you can ask me three more questions."

Sean was about to speak, but Jia Siting had already exchanged glances with Hermione and leaned over quietly.

"Can I ask a question?"

He said.

"Okay."

Sean looked at them, knowing they must be very anxious.

"Miss Helena, you know, how was Ravenclaw's diadem found and then made into a Horcrux?"

Jia Siting asked.

The ghost lady became calm, floating in the air, looking down at Jia Siting.

"That's a long story... long ago, I stole the diadem from my mother."

"You—what did you do?"

Hermione widened her eyes.

"I stole the diadem,"

Helena Ravenclaw said again, she skipped the two and looked at Sean,

"That's because I wanted to be smarter and more famous than my mother. So I ran away with the diadem."

Jia Siting and Hermione were confused, forcing themselves to listen carefully to the ghost lady:

"They say my mother never admitted the diadem was gone; she always pretended it was still there.

She even hid her loss from the other founders of Hogwarts, hiding my terrible betrayal.

Later my mother got sick—very sick. Although I did unfilial and unrighteous things, she still desperately wanted to see me one more time.

She sent a man to find me, a man who had loved me for a long time, but I rejected him. My mother knew that man wouldn't give up until he found me."

She took a deep breath and tilted her head back.

"He found the forest where I was hiding. I refused to go back with him, and he became furious. The Bloody Baron has always been a man with a violent temper. He hated that I rejected him, jealous of my freedom, so he stabbed me to death."

"Baron? You mean—?"

Jia Siting and Hermione felt they had entered some terrible place and heard some terrible secrets.

"The Bloody Baron, yes,"

The Grey Lady said, lifting her cloak to reveal a black wound on her snow-white chest,

"After he came to his senses, he was filled with regret, picked up the weapon that took my life, and committed suicide. So many centuries have passed, and in order to repent, he still wears chains to this day... he deserves it."

She added with a sneer.

"Then... then what about the diadem?"

They asked together.

"At that time, I heard the Baron stumbling towards me in the forest, so I hid it, and it has been there ever since. Hidden in a hollow tree."

"A hollow tree? What tree? Where?"

"In a forest in Albania. A desolate place, I thought my mother couldn't reach it."

"Albania... and then? How could..."

"I... I don't know!"

The ghost lady revealed terrible resentment,

"I will never see clearly! Of course, it's my stupidity, and she knew that long ago—"

After the terrible resentment, the ghost lady said distractedly:

"Voldemort, he... is very good at pleasing people. He seems... seems understanding... has sympathy...

He tricked the news away, defiled the diadem with the most heinous acts, this is irreversible—and I will never forgive, if someone wants to kill him, I am willing to pay everything."

"You are not the only one deceived by Riddle's sweet talk, lady. When needed, he can make himself very charming...

My mother said that the human heart is the hardest to predict."

Jia Siting comforted.

And Hermione was already dejected.

They still got the worst answer.

"Maybe—you have two more questions."

The ghost lady mocked low.

"What is ghost life like?"

When Jia Siting and Hermione didn't know what else to ask, Sean spoke.

"Loneliness, remorse, this is the shameful and deserved life—what kind of answer do you want to know?"

The ghost lady said self-deprecatingly.

"Perhaps, you should leave."

Sean sighed silently.

Ravenclaw's diadem, of course, suffered irreversible damage.

Sean had expected this long ago.

And the reason he didn't destroy Ravenclaw's diadem quickly was just because he saw some extra content in the Book of Ghosts:

【Wizards who become ghosts all have obsessions that ordinary people can't imagine, but this obsession needs support.

If in the world of souls, there is no one waiting for them, then ghosts will also be lost.

This is reflected in their increasingly blurred wisdom and emotions】

That is to say, at the end of death, on the other side of the veil.

Ravenclaw is likely still waiting silently; before the dawn that cannot be lit in the Boundary, she may have wandered for thousands of years.

"You have one more question."

The ghost lady was a little distracted; she had been immersed in sorrow and shame for thousands of years.

She had long been accustomed to a desperate situation and didn't need anyone to break into this piece of terrible despair.

"I have no more questions."

Sean said.

At the same time, he slowly raised his wand, and a huge stone statue guard stood up again; it took the fang floating from the Book of Wizards and was about to destroy the diadem with lightning speed.

And at this moment, Bai Yi returned from the wind and snow.

It flapped against the window, and in its claws, it was actually carrying a sword inlaid with rubies.

"A decent curtain call."

Sean pointed his wand, and the stone statue guard followed Sean's will, and in the stunned eyes of several people, smashed the diadem with one sword.

A blood-like, black and viscous substance was seeping out of the diadem.

Several people felt the diadem vibrating violently, and then it shattered into pieces in the wooden cabinet.

When it cracked, everyone vaguely heard an extremely weak, extremely distant painful scream, not coming from the castle or the playground, but from the thing that had just shattered.

A head wrapped in black smoke rushed out of the diadem, heading straight for Sean.

Jia Siting wanted to pounce over without hesitation.

But an accident happened again; after the black head roared and fluttered, it vanished into thin air.

"You... Green, this is Ravenclaw's diadem!"

The ghost lady screamed in loss of voice.

"A wizard's wisdom has never been in a diadem."

Sean said calmly.

The ghost lady was first stunned, then lost in thought—she suddenly realized something.

Perhaps this is the difference between him and others.

Beside the ghost lady, Hermione was already stunned.

The Room of Requirement also fell into silence, leaving only the low, cheerful laughter that Helena suddenly burst into.

She was rejoicing that a piece of Voldemort's soul had been destroyed:

"Basilisk fangs—a sword soaked in venom—substances that can destroy Horcruxes—

In any case, I want to thank you, Mr. Green, for making up for my mistake, and... giving it a decent exit."
