No longer concerned with what the system was doing with the crown with the shard of the Mystic's soul attached to it, Luke quickly left the Room of Requirement, seizing the moment to continue exploring the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw was the key.

Before leaving the Room of Requirement, Luke used one last Disillusionment Spell - a decision that was aptly timed, as not long after walking out of the Room of Requirement, Luke saw Professor Chilo running up the stairs in a pale, panicked state.

The very timid looking Professor Chilo should be the one who soaked the troll in the antiseptic magic potion, knowing that the Mystic was hiding behind Professor Chilo's garlic-scented scarf-filled brain, the Mystic's five senses should not have recovered, otherwise, wouldn't he be surrounded by the smell of garlic every day, but as it stands now, he still has a nose now .....

Ruminating, Luke was soon back in the Ravenclaw common room.

The playful Ravenclaw students hadn't returned yet, and Luke grabbed the crown that had been purified by the system, pulled a chair over and stepped on it, placing it on Rowena Ravenclaw's head, and the moment the shape lined up tightly with her hairstyle, the crown was knocked off by a force that sent it flying, tumbling off of the statue's sleek head, falling onto the chair used to cushion the feet, making a crisp, knocking sound, and bounced back onto the carpet.

Where had it gone wrong? Luke jumped down in a hurry and picked up the crown. It certainly didn't look like a Ravenclaw's crown; there was no hint of lustre in the old crown. Luke drew his wand and pointed it at the crown, "Restore as before" - the crown hadn't changed even one iota, it was still as worn as ever.

Luke is clueless, and simply casts the "clean and new", "quick and present" and other related spells, but the crown remains unchanged. Until...

Luke remembered the Goddess of Luck's magic ball that he got before the school year started, he used this magic ball to cast a spell to lift the curse in the lizard man incident last time, maybe it would work on this crown as well, anyway, Luke can't do anything about the crown now, so he might as well give it a try, maybe there will be a miracle!

Just as Luke was about to try, there was a cacophony of noise from outside the door, and then the sound of Eagle Ring asking questions appeared, and it dawned on Luke that the Halloween masquerade by the lake was over, and the common room would be buzzing with activity in no time. Playing it safe, Luke immediately put everything back - go or no go, the statue was there anyway, and he'd try again once the crown issue had been resolved.

Quickly positioning the chairs, Luke trotted back to the dormitory, and soon there was a clamour from the common room.

The bedroom door was thrown open with a loud bang and Edward came rushing in, not a little surprised to see Luke sitting at the table, which was a little strange for Luke.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Luke, you're back so soon? I really don't quite understand the interests of schoolboys like you, such an interesting ball, if you want to read books you could do what the other nerds do and take them to the ball ......" Edward said as he took off his cream covered jumper, it was obvious that he had had a great time tonight, and this jumper was his playful and crazy Witness.

Edward saw Luke's lack of reaction and brought his head closer to Luke's ear before he continued to whisper, "You really shouldn't have left, just now Senior Penelope asked a few times at the ball who had seen you, and if I may say so, apart from the twins Autumn Chang and Petyr, there's no one else who can compete with her in terms of looks, and she seems to be very fond of you. "

"Don't you talk nonsense! Be careful of getting punched by her, she's so much taller than us, she won't see me as an object." Luke waved his hand to stop his roommate's bold thoughts, "Go to the bathroom and wash up before you go to bed, or you'll wake up tomorrow covered in anti-freeze bugs..."

Sleeping solidly until dawn, when Luke and the others went inside the auditorium with the intention of having breakfast, the originally noisy auditorium became silent all of a sudden, and then the little wizards inside then erupted into a bigger commotion, some of the shorter ones even began to probe and stand up to stare at Luke, and in Ravenclaw, some of the senior seniors no longer regarded Luke as they did before when they greeted him as if he a brilliant little kid, their tone of voice attitude in talking to him was more equal.

In the midst of the noise, Harry looked at Luke, who was surrounded by wizards asking questions, and said to Ron somewhat thankfully, "Hermione was right yesterday, it's a good thing we weren't the ones who encountered the trolls or we would have been in deep trouble."

"Harry, I would have preferred it to have been us..." said Ron, looking blearily at Luke, who had attracted the attention of the crowd, and who had very little presence at home or at school, and who was actually quite keen to have this opportunity to shine.

As we entered November, the weather became very cold. The large hills around the school were grey and covered in snow and ice, and the lake was as cold and hard as hardened steel.

Every morning there was frost on the ground, and from the windows of the Ravenclaw common room you could see Rube Hagrid, the Hogwarts Keymaster and Huntress, with this huge figure all wrapped up in a long moleskin coat, rabbit fur gloves, and huge beaver fur boots, and with a cheerful expression, defrosting his flying broom on the Quidditch pitch - -Of course, the head part of those moleskins he was wearing didn't look quite so jovial.

Quidditch season was about to begin.

Roger Davies, the captain of Ravenclaw Quidditch, was as energetic as a chicken, and it seemed that he was competing with Oliver Wood, the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor, in climbing the number of practices, catching Luke and the others training whenever he could, and Quidditch practice had thus risen from the original three times a week to five times a week.

The professors at Hogwarts weren't letting up on their studies because of the exciting Quidditch season either.

"A truly good wizard can resist any pressure, yes any!" Professor Snape said as he assigned an extra ten inches of parchment homework - Luke wouldn't have thought it unfair if the Potions professor hadn't just assigned so much to the other three houses, and goodness knows what the Gryffindors who had Potions with the Slytherins looked like when this happened to them! ...

Compared to the other students, Luke was obviously even busier, Quidditch training was definitely not to be left behind, in addition to completing the coursework assigned by the professor, he also had to get up early to practice Alchemy, and could not slack off in the library to accumulate potions books ......
