Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 181 The day Barrow can’t remember

Listening to Barrow's words, Les sighed again.

Barrow, who was condescending and could see the changes in Rice's expression, suddenly said: "Teacher, you have changed."

"Oh?" Les raised his eyebrows: "Will my eyesight deteriorate significantly after becoming a ghost? Looking at what you said, I have become a child. I have indeed changed."

"It's not the appearance." Barrow shook his head, "It's the character. Your character has really changed a lot."

Les thought for a moment, "Royna said the same thing. She said it was because my body became younger."

"Royna?" Hearing this name, Barrow had a bold association.

"Well, that's the Rowena you think he is."

Barrow's eyes widened. "Professor Ravenclaw is still alive?!"

"She died, but like you, she chose to become a ghost."

Bloody Barrow was even more surprised: If Professor Ravenclaw had become a ghost, why had he never seen her in a thousand years? Was she not at Hogwarts the whole time?

Les answered his confusion. He told Barrow that Ravenclaw chose to seal himself under the seal of the dungeon after special treatment, and used his body and ghosts after death to suppress the dark creatures in the dungeon.

This time Barrow became even more guilty.

If it weren't for his recklessness, Professor Ravenclaw wouldn't have to work so hard, right? Although the school's talent dwindled in the professor's later years, he and Helena-senpai worked together to support the new generation until they grew up.

"That's all we talked about. Can you tell me what's going on? It's about you and Helena." Les got to the point.

He was curious about what happened that day that caused two outstanding students to kill each other.

Barrow's spirit body became pale, a bit whiter than an ordinary ghost, and his hands trembled with excitement.

Les heard the sound of shackles.

Bloody Barrow raised his left hand and took off half of his blood-stained robe. Les saw the source of the shackling sound: a dark chain penetrated the bones and ribs of his right shoulder, and was welded to the wrist of his right hand.

Every time Barrow moved his right arm, every time he took a breath, excruciating pain would follow him—if ghosts could feel pain. But considering that the person who put the chain on had the ability to punch holes in the ghost's spirit body and lock it, he would naturally have the ability to make Barrow feel pain.

"Teacher, this is my sin, a sin that lasts forever..." Barrow's tone suddenly became sad: "I found the [Blacksmith] and asked him to lock this chain for me, so that I could endure endless suffering. Torment… penance, yes, penance!”

"Because I killed her! This is my sin, my curse!" Barrow's mood was extremely unstable, and milky white tears fell from the corners of his eyes: "I love her so much, but I committed... Committed a heinous crime..."

Compared to the excited Barrow, Rice's mood was extremely calm. He stood there and watched with cold eyes as Barrow vented. After waiting for a long time, Barrow's mood finally stabilized.

"Thank you, teacher. It will feel better after you tell me." Barrow showed a feeling of relief.

Les: Don't be so quick to thank me yet.

"I'd like you to describe what happened that day, in as much detail as possible."

Les made a very outrageous request.

For Bloody Barrow, that day was the most painful and dark day in his life, but today someone forced him to recall the details of that day again. This was a very cruel request.

If it had been anyone else, Barrow would have ignored him and would have definitely threatened this shameless person, but the person in front of him was his teacher, the one who opened the door to the magical world for him.

Even though he had become a ghost, he could not refuse Les's request.

Barrow's lips moved, but he said nothing because he was surprised to find that he could not remember the details of that day at all.

In the end, his expression became blank: "Teacher, I can't remember clearly. I only remember that I got a clue that Helena and her friends were hiding in a forest in Albania, and I found her there, and then... …Then we had a fight and Helena died, just like that.”

Barrow's mood became unstable again, his soul was trembling, and Rice also noticed that when recalling what happened that day, a faint black mist would appear in Barrow's spirit.

It took a long time for Barrow to calm down again. When he calmed down, the black mist in his body disappeared again.

Les narrowed his eyes.

"I killed myself with the same knife that killed Helena. After becoming a ghost, I managed to find the [blacksmith] and put myself in shackles. This is what I deserve. For a more specific plot, I I really can’t remember, teacher, if you definitely want to know the details of that day, you can ask Helena, she is also at Hogwarts.”

"She's here too?!" Les was surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes, she became a ghost in Ravenclaw Academy." Barrow said weakly, "Haven't you seen her?"

"My daily life is relatively monotonous. It usually consists of exclusive classrooms, libraries, and common rooms, with trips to other classrooms interspersed."

"That's no wonder, Helena likes to hang around Ravenclaw Tower."

After reporting Helena's location, Barrow fell into silence.

"Okay, I'll go find her."

"I won't go." Barrow looked bitter. After so much time, he still couldn't face Helena.

Les pondered for a moment, and then persuaded: "Go, come with me. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and you always have to find a way to face her. Otherwise, how long will you have to escape? Will you wait another thousand years? ?”

Barrow was silent again.

The teacher was right. He had been avoiding her for nearly a thousand years and wanted to try to face Helena. At least you have a teacher with you now, right?

"One more thing," Les said softly, "You are not necessarily the murderer of Helena. I need to see her to be sure." Les added a sentence, but Barrow was shocked.

"Not the murderer, me?" He didn't know how many times today he fell into confusion: besides him, who else could have killed Helena?

"You just became very strange when you recalled the scene of that day. I suspect that someone has tampered with your memory. This is a very clever magic. Even when you become a ghost, you cannot recall the truth."

Bloody Barro:! ! !

"So are you willing to go with me to find Helena and find out what happened that day?" Les asked again.
