The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Ravenclaw's portrait only appeared on screen for a few seconds, which elicited a collective sigh of regret.

[Seeking Knowledge]

Words appeared on screen, and then the camera switched.

The background music became soothing and beautiful once again.

Quiet reading in the library, lively experiments and discussions in the common room, attentive listening in various classes, and even the figures of Ravenclaw students in every corner of the castle.

The camera rapidly switches between shots, vividly portraying the Ravencs' earnest pursuit of knowledge.

"I'm on camera!"

That's me!

After recovering from the shock of seeing the Ravenclaw portrait, the students began searching for their own reflections in the camera's view.

Whenever the camera switched, the student on camera couldn't help but proudly claim the spotlight.

“Everyone is happy,” Milton whispered to Scott.

Scott nodded slightly. "Because everyone felt involved."

Then, several different words appeared.

As more and more instruments are added to the background music, it becomes more and more intense, until it abruptly stops.

[explore]

[Addiction]

[Precision]

[free]

Each word is accompanied by a constantly changing image that represents this characteristic of the Ravenclaws, with almost all of them appearing, including Helena, the ghost who guards the school.

Meanwhile, Helena was quietly floating in the corner of the common room, watching the promotional video with everyone, a smile on her lips.

As the music shifts from rousing to soothing again, the promotional video nears its end, and Scott's personal touches begin to emerge.

Scott himself appears in the footage, standing on an elevated stone bridge, casually saying to the camera, "Ravenclaws like to focus on what interests them and are used to keeping a detached eye on other things."

The scene shifts to Eddie standing in his dorm room, who continues, "But only we ourselves understand what we're after."

At the Quidditch pitch, Roger, dressed in a Quidditch jersey, said to the camera: "Our house name means 'raven's claw.' We are incredibly greedy for knowledge, but often disdainful of power and fame."

At the classical music club, Milton, with his cello, said, "Our representative element is the wind. Among the four elements, the wind represents change, rationality, abstraction, wit, sociability, and language. It also represents conflict, lack of emotion, lack of foundation, and restlessness."

In his office, Professor Flitwick sat behind his desk and said with a smile, "We admire exceptional intelligence."

In the common room, Luna, who was sitting on the windowsill with her knees drawn up, turned her head and said in a dazed voice, "Extraordinary wisdom."

At the Black Lake dock, Jacob, standing on the stone steps, murmured, "Extraordinary wisdom."

In the corridor, Kayla and Dylan, hand in hand, said together, "Exceptional wisdom."

Eva, "extraordinary intelligence".

Ethan, "extraordinary wisdom".

Autumn, "extraordinary wisdom".

Andrei.

Chambers.

……

Many students took turns appearing and saying the title of the promotional video.

Finally, the Ravenclaw portrait reappears, and the background music stops.

Ravenclaw spoke to the outside of the portrait—

“Wisdom is only a prerequisite. I hope that all Ravenclaws will soar in the sky and atop the tower like eagles. You may not participate in the struggles on the ground, but I believe that your keen eyes can see everything clearly from above.”

“You’re not participating simply because you’re unwilling. I hope no one can influence your stance or actions. I hope you become free wizards.”

"At the very least, your minds are free."

The screen gradually darkened, returning to complete darkness.

A new piece of music begins to play, and one half of the mirrored screen transforms into the Ravenclaw banner, while the other half begins to scroll through a list of names of those involved in its production.

coax!

Everyone in the common room started clapping and cheering.

"Looks like you succeeded!"

Roger shouted and slapped Scott hard on the shoulder, startling him.

"Well done! This is the first time I've seen a finished product. It's fantastic!" Milton clapped his hands, showering the finished product with praise.

Eddie, who had been standing at the front of the crowd, looked extremely pleased with himself. He had raised his fat chin and grinned widely.

Jacob then came to his senses and said to Scott with a sudden realization, "So you made me say that line during filming?"

“I don’t know what I was doing back then.” Luna blinked, then laughed. “But it was very interesting.”

The girl has been laughing non-stop all day. She laughs silently when everyone is watching quietly, but now she's laughing out loud.

Scott had no idea what she was having fun about.

However, he didn't think about the problem, not only because he knew Luna often acted this way, but also because more and more people gathered around, completely surrounding the sofa he was sitting on.

“Scott,” Penelope, the leader, said with a smile, “I knew what you were doing beforehand, but I didn’t expect you to do it this well.”

"Thank you for the compliment," Scott said quickly.

However, he also knew that the promotional video he made with a playful attitude was not a very good work. Although he lacked skill in this area, he still had a certain level of appreciation due to his experience in his previous life.

However, this format was too novel for the magical world, which is why it garnered everyone's favor.

“You’re welcome.” Penelope smiled meaningfully again. “However, we have a few more questions for you.”

Scott laughed and said, "You can ask Eddie about the promotional video. He and I made it together, and he's better at talking than I am, and he's more willing to answer your questions."

Ethan scoffed from the side, "Eddie? Who doesn't know that kid's a complete liar, not a single word of truth he tells?"

“Who said that! My greatest virtue is honesty! Don’t tarnish my good reputation, Ethan!” Eddie’s dissatisfied protest came from outside the crowd. “Besides, I’m just Scott’s assistant. Let him answer you himself!”

Penelope clapped her hands and said to Scott, "Okay, stop trying to fool us. You know what I want to ask."

Ethan bent down and patted Scott on the shoulder, laughing as he said, "You've been keeping this a secret, haven't you? Tell me, where is the Ravenclaw portrait, the one that allows communication?"

Scott smiled at the several curious eyes surrounding him, but showed no intention of giving an answer.

"Where is Professor Flitwick?" He looked around.

Soon, a student standing on the perimeter answered, "Professor Flitwick has already left!"

"..."

Even professors have become unethical!

Scott twitched his lips, somewhat speechless. He had been planning to pass all these people's questions onto Professor Flitwick.

"Don't change the subject, just tell me!"

“Yes, I think a portrait of Ravenclaw should hang in our common room.”

"Did you take these photos in the principal's office?"

"No, there is no portrait of Ravenclaw in the headmaster's office."

"Could Scott have discovered Ravenclaw's secret chamber?"

"really?"

"I wonder what the difference is between the Chamber of Secrets in Ravenclaw and the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin."

"That's something Scott needs to tell us."

"Yes, hurry up and tell us!"

The crowd was filled with questions, arguments, and chatter, creating a cacophony of voices around Scott.

“Okay!” Scott raised his voice, “I filmed it in the principal’s office!”

Penelope immediately retorted, "You're lying, aren't you? I've been to the headmaster's office, and there's no Ravenclaw portrait there!"

"Yes, I've been there too."

"The portraits there are all of principals from more recent times."

“How do you know there’s no Ravenclaw portrait in the Headmaster’s office?” Scott asked matter-of-factly. “Is the Headmaster’s office really just what you see? How do you know there’s no secret room hidden inside?”

Because he spoke with such conviction, most people couldn't help but believe him, which made Scott secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After the people surrounding him gradually left, Luna, who was sitting opposite him, kept laughing at him.

Before she could speak, Scott winked at her and made a shushing gesture.

Luna winked knowingly, deciding not to expose him on the spot.

Just then, Eddie suddenly jumped onto a table in the middle of the common room and waved to everyone.

"Everyone, Ravenclaw students, listen to me."

His cheerful actions immediately attracted everyone's attention.

“What are you trying to say now, kid?” Penelope looked at him. “Nobody will believe your nonsense!”

Eddie quickly retorted, "I'm not talking nonsense! And that's not what I wanted to talk about!"

"Then what do you want to say? Get off the table now." Penelope waved her hand.

“No, I wanted to ask everyone,” Eddie raised his voice again, “What do you guys think of this college promotional video?”

Ethan laughed. "Do you want us to praise you? But you said yourself, you're just Scott's assistant."

"No, not exactly!" Eddie waved his hand dramatically. "I meant to ask, wouldn't you all want to keep a copy of such a fun and entertaining promotional video?"

Someone asked, "How should we keep it? Should we steal this big mirror back to our dorm room?"

“Of course not!” Eddie pulled a mirror the size of two palms from his pocket. “It’s this!”
