Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 57 Ravenclaw’s Approval

Lu Ke walked along the stairs towards the top of the castle.

Along the way, all the Ravenclaws who saw him stopped to say hello to him.

This flattered Lu Ke.

In Filch's office on the third floor, Lu Ke took a rag, soap and a bucket of water and continued moving forward.

Then the Ravenclaw who came to say hello began to look sympathetic and would definitely say: "I will definitely protest to Professor Flitwick, this is unfair!"

In this regard, Lu Ke only had to explain time and time again that the professor who made the decision had given him a noble hand, and he was very grateful to him.

So by the time he climbed to the top of Ravenclaw Tower and stood in front of the copper ring, more than two hours had passed.

At this time, there were the most students entering and exiting the common room. They all looked at the tools in Lu Ke's hands and showed sympathetic expressions.

"This is the simplest punishment. Professor Flitwick did his best. I am very grateful to him."

In order to prevent being surrounded, Lu Ke quickly spoke up.

"They asked you to clean the door knockers! That's not what smart people do!"

"And you're not allowed to use magic! It's simply disrespectful!"

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "Actually, I am a squib."

Then he couldn't help but laugh.

And he laughed louder and louder, and couldn't stop at all.

Because the expressions on the faces of the Ravenclaws in front of him were really wonderful.

Some sympathy, some disgust, some disbelief, some confusion.

It's hard to imagine that such complex emotions could appear on one person's face at the same time.

"Okay, don't worry, I never mind people saying I'm a squib, because it's the truth."

Then Lu Ke stood behind the open wooden board and began to scrub the copper ring with a rag.

"It's hard to say what wisdom will turn a person into, isn't it, Lu Ke?"

The boy who spoke occupies the best position. It is obvious that he is a popular figure in Ravenclaw and a prefect.

While Lu Ke was scrubbing carefully, he glanced at the boy: "What do you want to say?"

"Say someone with access to the Ravenclaw common room went to Slytherin and at the same time he was a Squib."

Lu Ke nodded: "So you told Professor Flitwick last night that I appeared in the common room. Do you think this punishment is too easy?"

The boy was obviously stunned for a moment, and the contemptuous eyes from all around him immediately surrounded him.

"You're a Slytherin! That's a bunch of..."

Lu Ke nodded: "Being pretentious, chasing victory, often being able to unite together, and always believing that you are born different. I don't think there is anything wrong with these. Of course, if they are excessive, they will become shortcomings."

There was a mocking look on the face of the Ravenclaw prefect: "Slytherin has students like Marcus Flint. Your noble bloodline may have just created a group of idiots, but your enterprising spirit has been completely spent." On cheating!”

Lu Ke nodded: "And Ravenclaw pursues wisdom, transcends the world, insists on himself, and can always think alone. But there are still members like you. The transcendence becomes inexplicable pride, and insisting on oneself becomes disregard. The wanton behavior of others.”

The prefect immediately showed an angry look, which was a very sharp accusation, especially when the surrounding Ravenclaws were smiling proudly because of Lu Ke's previous words.

"How dare you be on top of Ravenclaw Tower..."

"I'm just telling the truth. Since you think I'm wrong, let me ask you, what is the wisdom that Ravenclaw admires?"

The prefect looked at Lu Ke blankly.

He was so angry that he laughed.

"You ask me what wisdom is?"

Lu Ke nodded: "In order to prevent you from saying that I am cheating, I will tell you my answer first. Wisdom is a description that is closer to reality."

The prefect laughed: "That's bullshit!"

Lu Ke glanced at him, then turned to face the copper ring in his hand.

At that moment, a voice that only Lu Ke could hear came from the copper ring.

"Prove yourself, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke washed the rag and thought about what to say.

"Wisdom is essentially human beings' description of the world. Understanding is knowledge, and laws are wisdom. The simplest thing about right or wrong is whether it conforms to reality."

The prefect looked at Lu Ke with a look of contempt: "That's enough, I've had enough of your nonsense. Now that you've wiped the copper ring clean, let's go."

Lu Ke nodded, turned and left.

Because at that moment, he had already heard the words he wanted to hear: "You have proven yourself, Lu Ke, but never forget that wisdom is a cursed treasure."

The other people in Ravenclaw watched Lu Ke leave, standing there with a thoughtful expression.

"Obviously Ravenclaw didn't say that."

"But he's a Ravenclaw-approved guy, and maybe we're bound by common sense."

The boards were closed, and the puzzling discussion among the Ravenclaws was confined to the common room.

At this time, Lu Ke was looking down at the map in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Just like Snape and Professor Flitwick said, the clue is indeed inside the copper ring.

Now, the location of Ravenclaw Tower on the map has been illuminated, and the lines that make up the map are still spreading from here in all directions.

Although the speed is very slow, Lu Ke can be sure that in just one night, the map of the entire castle will appear.

If completing the map can pass the test, then Lu Ke only needs to wait one night.

But things are definitely not that simple.

Lu Ke poured out the dirty water in the bucket in the bathroom, washed the rag and bucket, and then returned them to Filch along with the soap.

By the way, I also gave Mrs. Norris a handful of dried fish.

Then Lu Ke went directly to the lobby on the first floor because it was already lunch time.

The moment he walked into the hall, Lu Ke felt that everyone was looking at him.

Although he didn't quite understand, Lu Ke didn't care. He smiled at everyone who looked over, then walked to Slytherin's long table and sat down.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Ke asked Johanna next to him in a low voice.

"you do not know?"

Johanna looked surprised.

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "Yes."

"Some people say you are going to Ravenclaw. This is something that has never happened since the establishment of Hogwarts."

Lu Ke looked helpless. This was obviously a rumor. He didn't know who spread it.

"Listen to me Lu Ke, although there are many idiots in Slytherin and many Death Eaters," Johanna looked at Lu Ke seriously, "but think about your five thousand years of noble blood!"
