This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 17 Welcome to Ravenclaw
Andrew didn't know whether to be thankful or troubled, and he didn't even have the mood to look at the subsequent sorting. He just hurriedly noticed that the girl named Hannah was the last one to be called up and was sorted into Hufflepuff.

Afterwards, he perfectly missed the principal's speech after making the decision to start studying the memory-locking spell whose name he couldn't remember from tomorrow.

But don’t worry about what happens next.

dinner's ready.

Just like what the Hufflepuff student said, the food at Hogwarts is quite good.

After trying several dishes in succession, Andrew found his favorite and ate his fill happily - it didn't matter if he was discovered by Dumbledore tomorrow, he couldn't die of starvation.

After finishing a pudding beautifully, Andrew's mentality was completely adjusted.

"Okay," Dumbledore stood up after the food on the table magically disappeared. Only then did Andrew finally have time to look at the most powerful white wizard whom he was currently a little afraid of.

It is obvious that there is no cutting corners in the portrait of the Chocolate Frog. He is indeed a kind old man with white hair and beard and a gentle personality. Even when announcing the ban, there is not much severity in him.

"Now that everyone has had enough to eat and drink, I want to say a few words to everyone. At the beginning of the term, I want to give you a few tips.

“All students are strictly prohibited from approaching the forbidden forest - this is emphasized every year.

"Secondly, Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me to tell everyone that magic is not allowed in the corridors during class breaks.

"In addition, the player selection for the college Quidditch team will be held in the second week. Interested students please contact Madam Hooch.

"Finally, and most importantly, anyone who does not wish to suffer an accident, a painful death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

In the last sentence, Dumbledore's tone became more serious, and this was well conveyed to the ears of every student.

'Fourth floor?'

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then he realized what it was, something he would never try to get close to - the Philosopher's Stone.

This year he just wanted to study magic quietly. If there were no classes on the relevant floors, he could even not go to the fourth floor.

"Now, before we all go to bed, let's sing the school song together!"

Dumbledore's speech interrupted Andrew's thoughts, and the inconsistent tone that followed gave him an inexplicable illusion - perhaps someone with Dumbledore's personality did not object to his adaptation?
But he quickly threw away this crazy idea. Forget it. If he was really hung on the castle wall and asked what he meant by "He Dong He Xi", that would be a bigger trouble than the Philosopher's Stone...

After singing the school song, the freshmen began to follow the class leaders, and Andrew was no exception.

At this time, he heard another piece of bad news.

The Ravenclaw common room is on the top floor... there is no elevator...

To be exact, it was on the fifth floor of the long staircase at Hogwarts, with stairs that disappeared and moved...

If anyone would end up on the fourth floor when they were lost in daily life, it would only be a Ravenclaw who was truly lost or a Gryffindor who was pretending to be lost.

Just as Andrew was complaining, the prefects suddenly stopped on the second floor.

"Okay, before we go back to the lounge, we're going to do the traditional grouping."

The class leader smiled and spoke to Andrew and the others.

"Welcome to Ravenclaw. Next, we will begin our welcome ceremony - follow your own choice."

Just as Andrew was wondering, several senior students walked out of the crowd and came to the front of the team.

"Anyone who thinks there is something wrong with Gringotts, please come with us."

Two senior students stood up, spoke to the freshmen, and then walked towards the corridor on the side without looking back.

A few freshmen hesitated for a moment, then followed. When they passed the class leader, they paused for a moment, and when they found that no one was trying to stop them, they trotted after him.

"Good, it looks like everyone knows the rules."

Two more senior students came out. "Then, those who think that a wizard's primary mission is to master powerful forces, please follow me." Several freshmen followed without hesitation. Andrew hesitated and did not follow - the research led by others might not be ancient magic. Not to mention that he would have to follow others' pace in the early stages of joining in, the biggest problem was that if he wanted to lead the group, it would probably be much later.

Moreover, it appeared so early... I always feel that there are some big differences here.

'I hope you will accept future additions... and I have a category I would like to add.'

Andrew finally chose not to follow.

"Then, you who wish to gain great fame, follow me..."

……

"Those who think adventure is a good idea, come with me..."

...

"Quidditch..."

...

"Then, those who aspire to join the Ministry of Magic, follow me..."

This is it!

Andrew quickly followed - according to the principle of old mentoring new, there was no telling how many staff members of the Ministry of Magic would become from this group after graduating from this group.

Even if he guessed wrong, it didn't matter. At most, he could work alone for a few years - in the future he would gather a group of people to study ancient magic anyway, and by then there would definitely be people in each group who had intentions of disagreement.

He didn't believe that everyone could have a firm idea in their first grade and not change it until graduation.

But the most important thing now is to catch up with the senior students in front.

"We're basically the largest group in Ravenclaw..."

"Due to the Ministry of Magic's recruitment policy, the competition is also the most intense..."

"The number of new students admitted each year is fixed, but there is basically no competition between people from different classes - so do you understand what I mean?"

Due to walking fast and having a conversation, a freshman unfortunately missed the stairs. Andrew suspected that the senior who led the way deliberately timed the movement of the stairs.

“The person who falls behind may or may not catch up… We are not sure, but no one will wait for him until he catches up.

"But the final choice still depends on the final results. We are different from other houses - it is hard to imagine a Ravenclaw without a clear goal in the first year.

“As for the college points and the college cup, everyone just needs to do their best.

“You have waited long enough and heard a lot, so you know what those people are doing.

"Unity is a necessity and a luxury in Ravenclaw. Those who try to find loopholes to profit from are destined to be unable to unite with us - they hope that we will make mistakes in the future to achieve their goals, and we hope to send them to Azkaban to gain merit.

"The same is true for those who worship power. Most of them will choose various forbidden magics to improve themselves. All they have to do is avoid our searches, and what we have to do is send them to Azkaban.

"...

"Even if we still have disagreements internally, dealing with our competitors is a very effective method, but the price is likely to be Azkaban...

"Okay, we're at the fifth floor...

"It's a pity for those who didn't catch up, but it's the fact that unless they pass the assessment we need, they can't join us...

"Dear freshmen, I hope you remember what I have said - if you are ready to send your fellow students to Azkaban, then welcome to Ravenclaw."
