Chapter 298: Phineas’ Request, Sirius Returns

Wayne originally thought this was just a bit of gossip, but not a difficult question to answer.

But he found that he was wrong.

After asking this question, the expression on Helena's face was extremely wonderful. Although the ghost did not change color, Wayne could also feel her surprise and anger.

In the end, Helena didn't answer this question, didn't say a word, and drifted in.

But her strange behavior made Wayne even more curious.

This curiosity has surpassed his interest in the secrets of the crown. Sure enough, gossip is still more attractive.

Ravenclaw's husband is never mentioned in the history books, and Helena also wrote to her mother.

Even the Sorting Hat said that he had never met Ravenclaw's husband, only that she had a daughter.

Helena's appearance was so sudden that when Ravenclaw brought her daughter to school, the other three founders were all stunned.

Gryffindor was so sad that he got drunk and cried bitterly all night.

The combination of all kinds of information gave Wayne a hunch that there must be something shocking hidden in it.

However, looking at Helena's performance, she must be at a loss for words in the short term, so she can only think about it in the long term.

The next day, Hermione also learned from Qiu about Wayne entering the Ravenclaw lounge.

She was not interested in what Wayne and the ghost talked about. After all, the boy was mysterious every day and would make big news at every turn.

The little witch was more curious about the problem with the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.

So, after class in the afternoon, she dragged Wayne to Ravenclaw's tower for a challenge.

"Why do you have to hold me back?" Wayne was a little helpless. He also wanted to find out more information about Ravenclaw.

"In case I can't answer, you can help me." Hermione ran to the door happily, and the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker came to life again.

"The little wizard from Gryffindor, if he wants to enter the space belonging to the wise, he needs to pass my test."

"Come on with the question." Hermione said quickly.

Next to it, several Ravenclaw students happened to be back. Seeing Hermione's actions, they also settled down and started watching the show.

They wanted to see if Granger, a smart academic, could pass the test.

The bronze eagle spoke.

"I am neither physical nor illusory, but I can connect thousands of hearts. I transcend the boundaries of language and words and become a bridge for human communication. I exist in your mind, but I can also echo in the hearts of others. What am I ?”

After hearing the question, not only Hermione, but other students were also thinking.

"Emotion" A Ravenclaw student was the first to give his answer.

The bronze eagle said without mercy: "Wrong answer."

"Poetry?"

"mistake."

"love?"

"mistake.

Within five minutes, many more students came, and everyone made guesses, but there was no correct answer.

Finally, Hermione thought for a long time before answering: "Art."

This time, the bronze door knocker was silent for a much longer time, but he also said: "Wrong.

"It's very close." Wayne encouraged: "Give me more details."

"Be more detailed..."

The little witch had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "I know, it's music!"

"correct answer."

The bronze eagle folded its wings and the door to the lounge slowly opened.

The surrounding Ravenclaw students applauded, which was a sign of respect for the wise.

Hermione's face was red, and she seemed to be embarrassed. After nodding to everyone, she pulled Wayne and ran away in a hurry.

It wasn't until she lost sight of anyone that she stopped and said, "You must have guessed the answer just now."

Wayne was noncommittal: "Your answer inspired me."

"I don't believe it. I'll try it myself next time." Although Hermione was complaining, the smile in her eyes never disappeared. She held the boy's hand and walked towards the library together.

Over the next few days, going to the Ravenclaw common room to 'break out' suddenly became popular in the school.

Many little wizards who think they are smart will give it a try.

Faced with frequent harassment in the private space of his college, Professor Flitwick didn't mind and even encouraged everyone to try. If someone succeeds, he will give a reward.

For example, Hermione, in the Charms class, Professor Flitwick gave her ten points and gave her a small crystal ball with a view of the Pyrenees Mountains in it, which could be viewed from any angle.

As for Wayne, he was not exposed. His past that night violated the school rules first, and everyone was embarrassed to tell him about it.

At the same time, he also learned about Lao's departure from school from Professor McGonagall.

Wayne had expected this.

Having discovered the Ravenclaw crown in advance, with Dumbledore's wisdom, he would definitely be able to figure out a lot of things, maybe.

Maybe before Voldemort is resurrected, he will be wiped out and only Harry will be left.

But these are what Dumbledore needs to worry about. For Wayne, the departure of the headmaster means...

The office was going to be his again.

When Wayne walked into Lawrence's private office with ease, the sleeping portraits of the principal also woke up one after another.

"I knew you would come over after Dumbledore left."

A bearded principal said helplessly that it was easier for Wayne to enter this office than for Dumbledore.

"After all, it's clean here." Wayne smiled and sat on the campus throne.

"The principal is gone, I can also chat with you, so that you don't have to have only one entertainment activity every day, beating Phineas."

"Damn little devil..."

Phineas bared his teeth angrily, but he only dared to beep quietly.

Now that Dumbledore was away, he was afraid that the boy would go crazy, so he sent him directly to the bathroom.

Wayne didn't come here just to stay in the office. He wanted to talk to the former deans about Ravenclaw.

Unfortunately, the work of preserving portraits did not exist from the beginning of the school. The earliest portrait of the principal was from the 15th century, more than two hundred years later than Piccolo.

They don't know much, and just like the books, they are all stereotypes and there is no secret.

"Hey, boy Lawrence." Phineas pinched his mustache and sneered.

"Although I don't know why you are suddenly so interested in Ravenclaw, I can indeed help you find some accurate information.

Wayne immediately gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Phineas, I have always thought that you are the greatest headmaster in the history of Slytherin College."

All the principals secretly spat.

How did you get into Hufflepuff with such a shameless temper?

Is this the legendary thing that must reverse itself when it reaches its extreme?

The academy known for its honest people finally has a genius?

It can be seen that Phineas's compliments to Wayne were very useful. It seems that this is not the first time this boy has said complimentary words to him.

"Useless boy, don't think that if you say a few nice words, I won't care about your previous attitude, right?"

Phineas was so proud that his moustache curled up, "I'm telling you, no way, don't expect to say anything."

"I just like to see you so anxious but unable to get anything."

Wayne leaned back tactically and raised the corners of his mouth: "Are you lying to me? A man who has been dead for less than a hundred years actually claims that he knows something that happened a thousand years ago?"

"Fart! What did I lie to you for?" Phineas blew his beard and stared: "Yes, I personally don't know the information about Ravenclaw. That's because I have no interest in a dead person.

Several Ravenclaw deans immediately glared and started gearing up.

Phineas did not notice his unfavorable situation at all, but proudly puffed out his chest: "But, I am from the noble and ancient Black family."

"As early as the establishment of Hogwarts, the Black family was already famous. It has a much longer history than latecomers such as Gunter and Lestrange."

"In the first generation of the Black family, three ancestors entered the school, and Man Barrow was one of them."

"Bloody Barrow actually belongs to the Black family?" Wayne was slightly surprised.

"Of course." Blake raised his head: "It's just that he is not of the same lineage as me."

“The collection of books and notes they left behind record a lot of things at that time.

"Not only that, the collection of books in Hogwarts is nothing compared to the Black family!"

Wayne's eyelids moved and he felt that this statement was quite reliable.

In the Holy Twenty-Eight Houses, the Laike family is indeed crowned with the oldest reputation.

Seeing the young man's excited expression, Phineas showed a sly smile: "But so what? You can't see those treasures anyway, so all your excitement is in vain, right?"

Now it was the turn of the Hufflepuff principals to grit their teeth.

"Phineas, are you embarrassed to tease a student like this?"

"Of course I'm sorry, I just like the way you look at me and don't like me, but you can't kill me."

These arrogant remarks immediately made several deans jump into his portrait to teach him a lesson.

"Wait a minute." Wayne interrupted the deans and walked under the portrait of Phineas to stare at him.

"What do you want to do?" Phineas looked a little confused, "Even if you throw me into the bathroom, I won't give in."

"How could that be?" Wayne still stared at him: "I just feel a little pity."

"What's a pity?" Phineas felt that the boy was confused.

Wayne shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that such an ancient family has to cut off its inheritance."

"After Sirius is caught, this surname will never be seen again in the magic world..."

The smile on Phineas' face slowly disappeared.

The other principals who were watching the excitement also fell silent and quietly looked at Phineas, who had a gloomy expression.

No one spoke sarcastically.

The loss of heirs is the most terrifying thing for any family that aims to inherit immortality.

00.......

Although there are other relatives in Sirius's generation, such as Malfoy's mother Narcissa, and Bellatrix who is still imprisoned in Azkaban, they are all Sirius's cousins.

But their surnames have changed and they cannot be regarded as members of the Black family.

"You win, kid."

Phineas changed from his usual annoying appearance and became extremely serious.

"Bring him to me, to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, where there is another portrait of me. Never let that fool out, and find him a wizard woman who will give birth to a child in my district."

"As long as you can do it, you will get half of the Black family's property. You can copy all the books and take them away, and you can read whatever you want."

"Does what you said have any legal effect?" Wayne seemed to be interested and asked.

"No, but I know the passwords to the three vaults of the Black family. You can empty them of gold."

"Seems like a good deal..."

"Boy, you can't promise him.

Dexter Fusco, who had served as a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"You are going against the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore will not allow you to cover a murderer. Don't be blinded by the benefits. You are a Hufflepuff, not a Slytherin.

"

Phineas shouted: "That bastard is the last descendant of the Black family!"

"I know this is wrong, so he will never leave the ancestral home. Lawrence, you can even kill the child after he is born. "I won't mind!" Phineas said excitedly

explain.

He increasingly felt that Wayne was the most suitable person to help him.

Others did not dare to break the law and go against the Ministry of Magic. Only this boy trampled the Director of the Auror Office like a dog, scaring the Minister of Magic to the point where he did not dare to breathe.

He was not so arrogant back then.

Before Wayne could answer, a group of portraits of principals started arguing.

Some support Dexter Fusco, believing that Sirius killed thirteen people and Wayne should not help a murderous wolf.

Some people also believe that the inheritance of the Millennium Family is the most important. After the Black family is established, they will imprison Black in Azkaban or directly give him a dementor.

A kiss will do.

The principals were like the aunts and uncles in the vegetable market, noisy and noisy, more lively than ever.

Wayne was so upset by the noise that he shouted: "Put it away! Shut up!"

The noise then disappeared.

"I accept this condition." After Wayne said this, several portraits were immediately unhappy, but before they could speak, a magic hit them, rendering the portraits silent.

sound.

"As long as I can keep Sirius, the deal is done, right?"

Phineas looked happy, "Yes, son, on behalf of the Black family, I would like to thank you for your help. Don't worry, I will praise you more in front of Dumbledore in the future. I promise you

Can become a principal. "

Wayne is smiling.

Very good, another win-win transaction.

It’s quickly entering May, and the weather has become even more moody.

A drizzle that lasted for five days made the little wizards feel irritable. They were bored in the castle every day, so depressed that they could hardly breathe.

Playing games has become one of their few pastimes, and Wayne took the opportunity to launch a few new cards, causing a slight increase in the sales of card packs.

None of these cards are too strong, they are all blue or purple cards.

It's not that he can't design powerful cards, but it's because the holiday is about to come, and now is the poorest time for small netizens.

When school starts, he will do a double first deposit activity, plus a few powerful cards, so that the flow of money will increase.

When the drizzle stops, the first weekend of May arrives.

The students finally ushered in the last Hogsmeade Open Day this semester.

Compared with the previous times, the store's business is even more difficult. Even the most popular Bee Duke candy store, sales are not ideal.

Seeing the shy expressions of each little wizard Xiangzhong, both the boss and his wife began to doubt their lives.

Is this an economic crisis?

Why is everyone so poor.

Wayne simply sat at the Hog's Head Bar for a while and then returned to school. He found Crookshanks who was playing with Mrs. Norris and took him back to his dormitory.

"No news from Blake yet?"

"Meow meow!"

Wayne frowned, where did Sirius go? He wasn't in Hogsmeade.

Doesn't he plan to seek revenge from Peter Pettigrew?

In the end, Wayne could only get Crookshanks to pay attention.

What Wayne didn't know was that the very next day, Sirius Black, whom he had longed for, came to school.

And this day happens to be the second day of the full moon night.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Blake sneaked into the castle, but he did not go to Crookshanks.

Instead, he came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office. .
