Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil

The appearance of Mischievous Ghost caused the freshmen present to steer the conversation in another direction.

As they ascended the winding staircase, they soon came to a heavy bronze door.

Three of the tallest towers stand in Hogwarts Castle.

The tallest building is the Astronomy Tower, followed by Ravenclaw and the Gryffindor common rooms and dormitories.

Puni had once heard a rumor.

According to "Hogwarts: A Fictitious History".

These three towers, the Astronomical Tower is so tall, is to make it easier for young wizards in the third grade and above to observe the stars.

The Gryffindor Tower was built to make it easier for warriors to display themselves.

Ravenclaw's tower is tall—making it convenient for stressed students to reopen.

Of course, after listening to the prefect's explanation, Penny knew very well that Ravenclaw loved learning, rather than being forced to—so the idea of ​​reopening was a bit too far-fetched.

"See that door?" the prefect's voice came from ahead.

Puni, Qiu Zhang, and the others looked up.

The eagle statue standing with its wings folded in the center of the bronze door is quite realistic, giving the feeling that it is about to spread its wings and take flight at any moment.

"Unlike the other three houses, Ravenclaw has no password to its entrance. To enter the common room, you must answer the riddle posed by the eagle-headed bronze door knocker."

The class monitor stopped and then turned around.

"If you answer the question correctly, you can pass even if you're not a Ravenclaw student, but if you answer incorrectly, even I will have to wait obediently outside the door."

The prefect smiled slightly, his tone not particularly strong, but it carried a hint of pride in his college.

"Does this door knocker ask different questions to everyone?" a freshman asked, raising his hand.

"No, it only changes the question every day, but we don't know where it learned such tricky questions—it hasn't asked the same question every day since I enrolled."

The prefect suddenly smiled and said, "After you enroll, you will often see dozens of students crowding outside the tower gate, racking their brains to solve the problem posed by the bronze door knocker."

"—The puzzle for today has been solved by your seniors, but as is customary, you must try it yourselves before you can truly step into Ravenclaw."

The freshmen crowded in front of the bronze door, watching the prefect turn around and gently knock on the door knocker.

The eagle head instantly came to life, its wings slightly unfurled, and a clear, ethereal voice rang out, its gender indistinguishable.

"I have no voice, yet I can shout; I have no wings, yet I can fly; I have no feet, yet I can travel the world. What am I?"

The question wasn't long or short, but the answer jumped into Puni's mind in an instant.

He turned his head and saw that several freshmen, including Qiu Zhang and Marcos, were still deep in thought.

Puni didn't disturb them—and judging from their expressions, they didn't want anyone else to tell them the answer.

Puni walked to the door, smiled slightly at the prefect, and then knocked on the door knocker.

"Thought."

squeak-

The door opened.

Puni went inside and closed the door again.

In fact, there is not just one exact answer to a question.

Therefore, Puni believes that this problem is still easy to think about.

His fellow freshmen will probably figure it out soon enough.

As soon as he entered, several older students were waiting there. When they saw Puni come in first, they immediately applauded and cheered.

"Lesterrange, you're number one!"

Another prefect is here as well.

"I know," Puni smiled.

"Uh." Faced with Puni's utter lack of modesty, the prefect blinked, then chuckled. "Are you going to wait for your roommates?"

This year, Ravenclaw College has ten new students, but only four of them are boys.

One of them was Puni.

The rest were all girls.

So it's estimated that these four people will definitely be sleeping in the same dormitory.

"I'll wait here for a bit," Puni nodded.

Indeed, just as he expected, everyone arrived at the answer very quickly.

The first one is Puni's roommate, Eddie Cammitchell.

He wore glasses, was rather thin, and walked in with a slightly arrogant expression on his face.

Then came Qiu Zhang, and two other girls.

At that moment, Puni's second roommate, Roger Davis, also walked in, looking somewhat excited.

His hair was styled, and he had a good appearance; he was the clean-cut type.

Compared to Camic's scholarly air, he looked more like a Gryffindor athletic student.

After the two boys entered, they walked over to Puni on their own.

All the remaining girls went inside.

Puni asked, somewhat puzzled, "Was Marcos knocked unconscious outside?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Marcos finally squeezed in, with the prefect following behind him.

—It's unclear whether he figured out the answer himself or the prefect told him directly.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The prefect then led them up the marble spiral staircase.

The Ravenclaw common room came into view before them.

This is a spacious and elegant circular hall.

Outside the arched windows lay the night view of Hogwarts, with blue and bronze silk curtains hanging from the walls and stars twinkling in the dome.

Puni glanced down—the dark blue carpet beneath their feet was actually embroidered with many star patterns.

This makes them feel as if they are in the night sky, whether they look up or down.

Tables, chairs, and bookshelves are arranged in a staggered pattern along the wall, and in the niche directly opposite, stands a white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Wearing a magnificent crown, with long hair reaching the ground, he exuded a sacred and solemn aura.

"Is this the Ravenclaw Dean? She looks so beautiful and noble!" Cho Chang took a deep breath, then pouted and slowly exhaled.

This is the college where my mother lived!

She's a Ravenclaw now!

"Girls, come with me." The prefect beckoned.

The new girls naturally followed behind her.

Puni and the other three boys naturally followed the male prefect to the dormitory.

"Uh, why does it feel like the place we're going to stay is different from where those girls are going?" Marcos looked around.

I always felt that the boys' dorms weren't as nice as the girls'.

"Is there anything different?" The male class monitor shook his head, then pointed to a door in front of him. "There shouldn't be much difference—let me give you a brief introduction. Look over there, that's the washroom."

"Girls' dormitories usually have their own changing rooms, while boys... they just come here to wash up—that's probably one of the differences."

The male class leader smiled.

"Perhaps because Headmistress Ravenclaw is the only woman among the four founders of Hogwarts, our common room naturally gives more preferential treatment to girls—but I don't think there's much difference."

Marcos was taken aback.

No?

Why does Ravenclaw still discriminate between men and women?
