Chapter 561: Chapter 559: The Manor’s Only Idle Man
It was clear that Helena found it even more incredible than Kael that she could wear the Diadem.
"What on earth is going on..."
Helena looked at Kael, just about to say sothing when her pearl-white body suddenly trembled, and her face was filled with shock, fear, and disbelief.
Then, she panicked and tried to remove the Diadem from her head, but her hands just passed right through it.
"Don’t be nervous, Helena."
Kael said with a smile, "Didn’t you want
to help pass a ssage to your mother? Coincidentally, Lady Ravenclaw has sothing she wants to say to you too."
"And I’m not very familiar with the process of using an owl, delivering ssages is really not my forte. If I forget any word, that would be bad.
"So, I took the liberty of bringing you here, hoping you could understand."
Helena didn’t speak, but pearl-white tears flowed from her eyes.
The tears fell to the ground and then turned into a cloud of mist before drifting back to Helena’s body.
"After not seeing each other for over a thousand years, I bet you have a lot to talk about... I won’t disturb you then."
Kael walked to the door, pushed it open, and walked out.
"Oh, by the way," he suddenly rembered sothing, turned his head, and said, "If you need anything, just call Tata... He’s the House-elf here, and as long as you call his na in this manor, he’ll hear you."
With that, Kael gently closed the door.
Once the oak door was closed, all sound from inside vanished completely.
Even though Kael was curious about the gossip in the Ravenclaw family, now was clearly not the ti to eat popcorn, and they probably wouldn’t appreciate having an outsider standing by while they talked.
Kael followed the corridor and soon returned to the manor’s hall.
Tata was polishing a crystal ornant with a piece of velvet cloth. Seeing Kael, he quickly stopped his work and bowed to greet him.
"Don’t mind , Tata," Kael said, looking around, discovering there was only Tata and himself.
"Is Madam Perenelle also helping Nicolas with the creation of the Philosopher’s Stone?"
"Yes, the mistress is also helping," Tata replied.
"Alright then."
Kael casually found a chair to sit down, and Tata continued polishing those crystal ornants.
After several hours, there was still no movent in the room. It seed that both Nicolas and Ravenclaw had forgotten he was even there.
Lunch, prepared by Tata, was sumptuous, yet it felt lonely.
Because, at the long dining table, he was the only one eating; Nicolas and Perenelle did not erge, according to Tata, they had been dining in the Alchemy Room lately.
As for those two in the room, a ghost and a mory, they obviously didn’t need to eat.
The only one left was Tata, who disappeared after serving the final dessert.
Only after Kael was full did Tata suddenly reappear in a corner of the room.
A few more hours passed. Kael grew a bit bored from waiting, so he got up and asked, "Tata, can I go to the Opera Room upstairs?"
After not seeing each other for over a thousand years, Helena and Ravenclaw’s conversation probably didn’t seem like it would end any ti soon, so he had to find so activity.
Listening to opera is a nice way to pass the ti, even if Kael couldn’t understand it, but there seed to be no better place to go.
However, upon hearing this, the Little Elf imdiately beca cautious, clearly rembering how Kael and Dumbledore once discussed dismantling and taking away that room.
"Master said that you could go into any room you want."
Tata said, and then added, "But sir must not damage the house; there are charms from the master here. If you try to damage the walls, sir will get hurt."
"I’m just going to listen to an opera. Why would I break down walls?" Kael asked in confusion, not understanding what Tata ant.
"Nothing, nothing, Tata was just saying... I’ll take you over right now." The Little Elf quickly put down the velvet cloth and led Kael to a room upstairs.
It looked just as before, empty. Kael nimbly walked to the wall opposite the door and pressed a symbol on it.
In almost the blink of an eye, a large orchestra appeared in the otherwise sparse room.
Listening to the soothing orchestral music, Kael turned to Tata and said, "If any ghost cos looking for you, please let
know imdiately."
"A ghost?"
With visible trepidation, Tata’s body shook.
"Sir must be joking with Tata. There are no ghosts here, Tata knows..." He shivered while speaking, and Kael could clearly hear the chattering sound of his teeth clicking together.
"Are you... afraid of ghosts?" Kael couldn’t help but ask.
"Tata isn’t scared!" The Little Elf squeaked: "Tata just... just doesn’t like them."
"Alright then." Kael said, not exposing the Little Elf’s self-deception.
Being afraid of ghosts was nothing to be ashad of; most first-year students at Hogwarts didn’t behave much braver when they first saw ghosts.
"Let’s do it this way," Kael continued: "If you hear soone calling you, just co find . Don’t be scared, that ghost is also a guest of Nicolas, it won’t frighten you."
Upon hearing the word "guest
