Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 53: Help me find out something

The dinner begins.

All the students started eating frantically.

at this time.

Countless ghosts also came out from every corner of the castle, scaring many young wizards who had just entered school. Ian also looked at these ghosts in surprise several times.

Each of them is a transparent body, no longer with vivid colors, which is very different from the dead in the hazy fantasy.

"Little wizards! Eat! Eat! Eat more!"

"Hahahaha! Another crybaby!"

These ghosts made the atmosphere of the dinner party more lively.

Nearly Headless Nick, the Bloody Baron, the Fat Friar... Ian couldn't find Helena Ravenclaw. The ghost of this lady might not have attended the dinner for many years.

He continued to work hard and was a glutton.

"I am Penelope Clearwater, another prefect of Ravenclaw, and welcome to join Ravenclaw."

The female head of Ravenclaw took the initiative to greet Ian, who was sitting not far from the opposite table, shortly after the meal began. She was also a smart person like the male head, Dietrick.

"Hello, hello, just call me Ian..."

Ian was stuffing a large pork chop into his mouth, his words slurring a bit.

"Okay, Ian, if you need any help, please feel free to ask me." Penelope looked at her younger brother with a smile. She was looking forward to the fun that might happen in the new semester.

"How can I help you?"

Ian was stunned for a moment.

"Is it really possible?"

He did have one thing he might need help from the seniors. The seniors had been around the school for many years and could do many things that a newbie like him couldn't.

"Of course." Penelope continued to smile.

After pondering for a moment, Ian put down the food in his hand.

"Actually, if I bring this up suddenly, it might seem a bit rude of me, but I still want to ask you, senior, can you help me find out if any of my classmates' sisters have died?"

Ian certainly didn't forget the promise he made to his friend.

"what?"

Penelope was visibly stunned.

"For some unspeakable reasons, this is very important to me..." Ian watched as the last piece of fried chicken leg on the plate in front of him was snatched away by the little wizard Nigo next to him.

"No problem, I'll help you find out."

Penelope agreed readily without asking any further questions.

"Are there any useful clues?"

Penelope also started eating again, probably because she was afraid that she would be hungry tonight if she didn't eat enough.

"The people I'm looking for may be twins, or they may not be, but they are two brothers."

"Unfortunately, they had a younger sister who died in the past. The sister's name should be... Ariana, but I'm not sure." Ian couldn't actually say for sure whether Ariana's brothers were still in school.

No one knows how long Ariana has been dead, or how many years she has stayed in the misty fantasy after her death. Even her name may not be a name in the mortal world.

Just like Pandro.

He just forgot his old name and gave himself a new name in the hazy fantasy. No one can say whether Ariana is in a similar situation.

"Now that you have a name, it's easy. Leave this to me. As long as there is someone who meets the requirements in the school, I will be able to help you find him."

The head girl of Ravenclaw made a solemn promise to Ian.

"Thank you sincerely for your help. It is a blessing for us little wizards to have a prefect like you, Miss Clearwater." Ian thanked her sincerely and flattered her a little.

"piece of cake."

Penelope ate slowly while raising her hand to make an OK gesture to Ian. She was smiling and it was obvious that she was very pleased with Ian's compliment.

"You can call me Senior Penelope. I like people who like me to call me that." The dinner continued.

Qiu Zhang was obviously hungrier than Ian.

Because she had been concentrating on eating since the dinner started, and she didn't even interrupt Ian and Penelope's conversation. She was concentrating on fighting the food on the plate.

Sitting on Ian's other side was a little Nick, who grabbed food much faster than Ian, which resulted in Ian not being able to eat much fried chicken and French fries.

When everyone was full and satisfied, all the food disappeared and desserts were served. However, the watermelon jelly that Ian thought was the most delicious was also grabbed by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Nigo first.

He could only choose a creamy chocolate pudding.

Just after everyone had enjoyed the dessert, everything on the long table, including the plates, disappeared, and Dumbledore slowly stood up again.

"Let me say a few final words."

Dumbledore motioned for everyone to be quiet and then spoke slowly, "First-year students, please note that the forbidden forest near the castle is an area that is forbidden to enter for all grades."

"Many of our senior students, I hope they will continue to remember this." His voice was very loud, perhaps cast with some kind of magic to amplify the sound.

“Are there any dangerous places near our school?”

Qiu Zhang seemed to have regained the ability to speak after the meal, and her tone was worried.

"I don't know whether it's dangerous or not. I only know that if Dumbledore hadn't told us, we probably wouldn't have realized that there is a new map nearby that can be expanded."

Ian's thinking angle was quite novel. He looked towards the Slytherin table, where his friend Miss Grindelwald was also concentrating on eating with her hands and her head down.

"You're braver than a Gryffindor."

Qiu Zhang was still thinking about Ian's imagination.

Just at this time.

Dumbledore had helped the school's caretaker, Filch, to warn the students not to perform magic in the corridors, and not to defecate in front of Filch's dormitory door.

The little wizards started to laugh.

Wait until the sound becomes quieter.

As usual, Dumbledore led everyone in singing the Hogwarts school song.

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts.

Please teach us some knowledge.

……

The lyrics are simple and catchy.

Everyone could choose a different tune and play whatever they wanted, and there was even a joker at the Gryffindor table playing the tune of a funeral march.

Ian chose the music tune of Second Hand Rose. The Ravenclaws around him were immediately struck by his beauty and moved their feet to stand farther away from him.

The happy time soon came to an end.

Ian was still a little reluctant to leave, but Dumbledore had already announced that everyone should return to the dormitory to rest. Led by the prefects of each college, many young wizards began to line up to leave.

Ian raised his hand and waved to Aurora in the Slytherin queue not far away. The other party hesitated for a moment, but still raised her hand and waved at Ian in response.

Everyone was leaving in an orderly manner.

The professors also left the room.

After all the little wizards had left the hall, Professor McGonagall was about to return the Sorting Hat to the principal's office when a slender hand suddenly snatched the Sorting Hat from her.

"What are you doing! I am the inviolable property of Hogwarts!" The Sorting Hat was held in Snape's hand, and it made a cry sharper than that of a groundhog.

"Help me! Mag! Help me!"

"Dumbledore! Dumbledore, turn back!"
