Chapter 774 The So-Called Response

"You may not know that decades ago, a wizard as old as you sneaked into the tower one night and asked me similar questions..." Helena said in an erratic tone. .

Ivan immediately guessed who Helena was talking about and cursed secretly in his mind.

Damn it, Tom actually blocked the path he wanted to take!

Ivan silently made a note to Voldemort, but the expression on his face did not change, and he pretended to be confused and spoke. "I do not quite understand you……"

"You're here for the Ravenclaw crown, right?" Helena looked contemptuously at Ivan, who was pretending to be dumbfounded, and said. "In fact, you are not the first student to covet the crown..."

"No, Ms. Helena, I think you misunderstood!" Ivan shook his head.

"Don't admit it? Humph, it seems we have nothing to talk about..." Helena sneered and turned around to leave.

At this moment, Ivan's voice came over again.

"Ravenclaw's diadem was destroyed years ago. What should I do with that thing?"

Helena's forward body paused for a moment, then turned her head sharply, stared at Ivan, and asked in shock. "What did you say? The crown was damaged?"

"Haven't you heard? This happened three years ago, and it was related to Tom Riddle..." Ivan pretended to be surprised, paused deliberately, and then spoke again.

"He defiled the relics of the founders, made Ravenclaw's diadem into a Horcrux, and caused a commotion in Hogwarts. It took me a lot of effort to deal with this trouble. "

Helena looked at Ivan suspiciously, but when she heard him mention Tom Riddle and Horcruxes, she didn't question it directly.

"Are you interested in hearing my story? Ms. Helena?" Ivan snapped his fingers gently, and a flame rose out of the dry fireplace, dispelling the cold midnight wind.

Helena was slightly surprised by this wandless spell. She was silent for a while and then asked. "Can you tell me what is your name?"

"Ivan Hals!" Ivan bowed slightly and said.

…

After dispelling Helena's doubts, Ivan went to Ravenclaw Tower every night to meet with Miss Ghost in the next few days.

However, what made Ivan feel a little helpless was that Helena was still very cautious. For this reason, he had to make side remarks and try to keep the topic closer to the magic storage room.

"You mean the four founders were all involved in the renovation of this castle?" Five days later at night, after listening to Helena tell the story of the past a thousand years ago, Ivan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but most of it was done by Slytherin and my mother." Helena said in an erratic tone.

Ivan nodded, not surprised.

According to Helena, Rowena Ravenclaw is very proficient in alchemy, and Salazar Slytherin is the owner of this castle, so the transformation work will naturally be left to them.

It seems that her previous guess was not wrong. Helena is likely to know the clues to the magic storage room.

"You're such a special person, Hals!"

When Ivan was thinking about it, Helena suddenly floated next to him, whispering softly to herself. "Not a Gryffindor at all."

"In fact, many people have said this, and I also think that I may be more suitable for Ravenclaw Academy." Ivan shrugged. If it weren't for the original memory, he might not have a chance with Gryffindor.

"No, you don't look like a Ravenclaw either..." Helena said ethereally.

"Why?" Ivan was very surprised. He felt that he had a shrewd mind, a love for learning, and a strong thirst for knowledge, so he should be in line with Ravenclaw's admissions standards.

"There's no reason, it just doesn't seem like it... If I have to say something, it's just intuition!" Helena smiled happily.

Ivan's face darkened, thinking that the ghost was deliberately teasing him, he shook his head helplessly and asked again. "By the way, Helena, why did you tell Tom the whereabouts of the crown in the first place?"

After these days of contact, Ivan found that this ghost lady was not easy to fool, not as easy to fool as he expected.

Or maybe after being deceived by Tom, he learned to behave?

"Tom... is different from other people. He is very likable, understanding... and compassionate... In a thousand years, no one has... understood me like him." Helena sighed. . "And he also promised me that he would come back with my mother's crown..."

"Well, that's true. Tom did bring the crown back, but he just put it in the Room of Requirement..." Ivan complained. To a certain extent, Voldemort did not lie.

"Hmph..." Helena snorted, a little unhappy, but when she thought of being deceived by Tom Riddle, her mood became even lower, and she sighed faintly. "I regarded Tom as a close friend, but he lied to me. I told him the location of the Room of Requirement..."

"No wonder." Ivan murmured to himself.

The location of the Room of Requirement is very secret. Even Dumbledore was able to enter it because of an accident. He had been wondering how Voldemort learned about the Room of Requirement before. Now he realized that it was from Helena. if.

Of course, compared to this, Ivan is more curious about the working principle of the Room of Requirement. It is really beyond his understanding to be able to realize the magical place in his mind.

Helena didn't mean to hide it, and quickly explained. "The Room of Requirement is a miracle created by my mother Rowena Ravenclaw, who used alchemy to combine the huge magic power of the entire castle!"

"The magic of the entire castle?" Ivan was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized something.

Helena did not notice the change in Ivan's expression, but continued to speak.

"On weekdays, this castle will store the magic power that you spend in daily dispersion or practicing magic for the operation of secret passages, spiral staircases, and various protective spells.

But as the number of students increased, the remaining magic power became more and more considerable, so my mother took advantage of the situation and built the Room of Requirement...

Of course, the magic power stored at that time was no more than it is now, and it could not respond to requests. It only existed as a research laboratory. "

Listening to Helena's words, Ivan was completely confused. In other words, the so-called magic storage room is the Room of Requirement!

He didn't expect that what he was looking for had been right under his nose all along, and he had been completely unaware of this for more than four years.
