Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

As the wall in front opened, the other end of the wall was revealed - behind a hunchbacked, one-eyed witch statue on the third floor of the castle.

"Okay... Ryan, don't be angry. Although it's a shame that we didn't get 100 Galleons, the champion, Mr. Alex, is indeed very powerful."

Meanwhile, George was trying to comfort Ryan, who had an unwavering expression on his face.

"I heard he's a huge fan of the Big Four and even published a book - 'Magic Legends: My View on the Big Four'!"

"Shit!"

And Ryan's assessment of this was very sharp.

"Do I care about those 100 Galleons? His answers are obviously all wrong!"

He was obviously very unhappy.

"Oh, Ryan...don't be so stubborn. Everyone has weaknesses."

Fred grinned and said, "Your score is even lower than ours. Some of the questions you answered are complete nonsense. How could the wise Ravenclaw's favorite food be honey cookies? She's not a child!"

"Yes, yes!"

So George also laughed at it: "Also, how could Gryffindor's favorite weapon not be a sword? Don't you know the sword of Gryffindor?"

"...First of all, Old Ravenclaw—Ms. Ravenclaw's favorite food is honey-sweet cookies, because she believes the aroma helps her think!"

"And Gryffindor... his best weapon is a hammer! He only had the goblins forge the sword because someone told him 'Gryffindor's hammer' didn't sound nice!"

Ryan said dissatisfiedly.

"Someone told him? Who?"

Fred grinned, obviously not believing what Ryan said.

I!

Ryan wanted to tell the truth, but considering that he would probably be ridiculed again after saying that, he didn't say anything.

Seeing that he remained silent, the twins spoke in unison: "And most importantly—you even got the color and animal symbolizing Slytherin wrong!"

"...First of all, the question was 'Slytherin's favorite color and animal'!"

Ryan sighed.

"And you told me that the person who asked the question, Alex, was an expert in researching information related to the Big Four... I believed you, so I answered white and cat!"

That's right.

Ryan was very angry - because as a disciple of the Big Four, he actually got the second-to-last place in the 'Big Four Quiz Contest' he participated in today.

By the way, the last person was asked to go for a drink when he was halfway through answering!

Especially for the last question, almost everyone answered "green" and "snake".

But Ryan knew very well that Slytherin's favorite color was actually white!

"White is the original color, Ryan."

“Creating and building from nothing is always tempting.”

This is what Slytherin said to him.

The reason why green was chosen for the Hogwarts school emblem is because white does not match the other three colors!

As for his favorite animal, it is also a cat, not a snake!

He thinks cats are cunning, wild and elegant, and snakes, which represent immortality and transformation, are his second favorite animals!

The reason why he didn't choose a cat for the school emblem was even simpler - because if Slytherin had chosen a cat, a certain old lion who wished to remain nameless would definitely have mocked Slytherin severely.

"Oh, I'm a lion and you're a cat...how interesting!"

Ryan could almost imagine Gryffindor's mocking tone!

He was sure the Slytherin would be irritated then—as much as he was now.

But when Ryan thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Friday - if Slytherin knew that he had adopted a white cat, he would probably like it very much!

"Unofficial history! It's all unofficial history!"

Ryan said unconvincedly: "Damn it - I demand a rematch!"

"Okay, whatever you say."

Seeing this, the twins looked at each other and shrugged.

"It's getting late, what are you going to do now?"

They asked this question after taking a look at the deserted castle corridor.

"Today is the day to go to the Room of Requirement for exercise. Do you want to..."

Ryan asked.

"Brother! See you tomorrow!"

"We still have things to do! Merry Christmas!"

And when he said the word 'Room of Requirement', the twins had already run away quickly.

So Ryan shook his head helplessly.

Afterwards, he walked towards the Room of Requirement—of course, he did not forget to wear his 'Perception Pendant'.

And soon, he arrived at the fifth floor.

but...

At this moment, Ryan clearly saw a flash of green light on the pendant.

"!!!"

This made Ryan alert instantly.

"Perception Enhancement!"

"Human traces appear!"

"Armor protection!"

He cast three protective spells almost instantly, and with his enhanced perception, Ryan scanned the surroundings.

However, the result made Ryan even more wary.

Because he found no trace of anyone, he didn't even find the slightest trace of magic.

This almost shocked Ryan - because the light of the 'Perception Pendant' was shining brighter at this moment, which meant that the other party not only did not run away, but was approaching him!

He had never seen anyone who could conceal their magic power to such an extent.

There was no doubt that the visitor was a top wizard, perhaps Tom Riddle...

"Ok?"

Just when Ryan was concentrating and extremely alert, he suddenly saw something on the ground in front of him.

It seemed to be a cake left over by a little wizard - it suddenly flattened at this moment, and the cream on it rubbed out.

"Boom!"

Ryan was sure he heard the sound of someone slipping, a cry of pain that followed, and a pair of round-framed glasses suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

"Ouch!"

"...Harry?"

Ryan, familiar with both the voice and the glasses, spoke tentatively.

So the next moment, he saw Harry's figure appear in front of him.

"Oh Ryan... help me find my glasses, it hurts so bad."

Harry said with a grin.

When Ryan handed him the glasses, he noticed that Harry seemed to be holding something in his hand.

That looks like a... cloak?

"Invisibility cloak?"

Then Ryan realized the situation.

And the fact was just as he guessed. After putting on his glasses, Harry began to explain the situation.

"This is a Christmas gift from Dumbledore - he said this cloak is very special and it originally belonged to my father..."

Harry explained the origin of the invisibility cloak.

“Indeed, it is special…”

Ryan also admitted that the power of this invisibility cloak was indeed amazing.

Invisibility cloaks existed in the magical world thousands of years ago - but most cloaks couldn't conceal their magic and aura to this extent.

Under normal circumstances, Ryan might be very interested in studying this thing.

However, after learning that the cloak was a relic of Harry's father, he naturally would not take it away from others.

"Where are you going? Where's Ron?"

he asked with some curiosity.

Speaking of this, Harry waved his hand awkwardly: "Ron... he's sleeping."

He hesitated a little.

"what happened to your hand?"

Then Ryan noticed that Harry's left hand fingers were wrapped in bandages.

"It's Scabbers... Ron's rat. It went crazy yesterday and bit my hand."

Speaking of this, Harry was obviously a little angry.

"I even thought the rat might have been bitten by a vampire - I was sure it was sucking my blood, but Ron thought I had pissed it off..."

He complained, and Ryan quickly understood the situation.

During the Christmas holidays, Harry and Ron did not choose to go home - they were the only two people in the dormitory who did not go home.
