Chapter 644: Raven\'s Claw

As for the origin of the Raven and Ravenclaw, it could be traced back to history.

It is well known that in Celtic mythology, the raven often appears with the warrior goddess known as the Morrighan. 

It is considered a symbol of uncertainty and death, as well as the incarnation of the Morrighan.

The Ravenclaw family is considered a direct descendant of the raven next to the warrior goddess, a family of pure-blood wizards known for their wisdom and cunning long before Hogwarts was founded. It was one of the top wizarding families of the time, ruling and leading the entire wizarding community.

The hidden meaning in the name of Ravenclaw family is “Greedy Predator”, which is used to describe their thirst for knowledge.

According to the Sorting Hat, Rowena Ravenclaw was teaching philosophy, and the inheritance tenet of the Ravenclaw family could be clearly seen; that is: We’ll teach those whose intelligence is surest.

In Ravenclaw, wisdom was the most important trait.

Nowadays, Ravenclaw’s symbol had changed from a raven to an eagle. However, their valuing of wisdom never changed

Regarding the symbol of Ravenclaw House, the debate over whether it was a raven or an eagle had been around for a long time.

Although the Ravenclaw family’s emblem was a raven spreading its wings, many wizards believed that the harbinger represented by the raven was not very auspicious.

What’s more, there had been rumors that Madam Rowena Ravenclaw’s own Animagus form was an eagle, and Ravenclaw’s most famous knocker had the shape of an eagle’s head, and the House was also featured in Hogwarts emblem as an eagle.

Over time, the symbol of Ravenclaw House became an eagle.

However, history was not as simple as it seemed, and there were many secrets hidden.

Evan recently discovered through the review of ancient books of history that hundreds of years ago, when the Ravenclaw House symbol changed, many conservative wizards believed that the Raven should be the real symbol of Ravenclaw House, and they held different ideas about the so-called change.

The vast majority of these people were evil Dark wizards who set up heretical sects to carry forward their ideas.

What impressed Evan most was an evil force named “Raven’s Claw” recorded in the book. They were founded more than six hundred years ago, and lived by the legacies of Ravenclaw, trying to collect the remaining information left by the era of the Morrighan, the warrior goddess.

“The Raven’s Claw” developed believers everywhere, propagating the fanatical heresy of “the Last Judgment”.

Surprisingly, they seemed to really find some sort of ancient energy, hoping to use this power to rule the entire wizarding world.

Evan was the most impressed with the description of this paragraph and would never forget it. Because the so-called miracle of the warrior goddess the Morrighan they had found, no matter how to look at it, was like the power of some evil god, such as whispering in their ears, worshiping the power of darkness and chaos, and so on.

These terrible fellows actually wanted this ancient evil god to come to the world and help it return to its former dominance.

Because of the differences in beliefs and ideas, acting mysteriously, bloody, and cruel, the “Raven’s Claw” had been jointly suppressed by the great powers of the entire wizarding world since its inception.

In the end, some of them went on a frenzy to wage war on Hogwarts.

It was said that the original clue came from Hogwarts Castle and was believed to be a gift from Madam Rowena Ravenclaw.

They attempted to occupy Hogwarts, completely destroy this ancient School of Wizardry and look for more clues.

Undoubtedly, that was crazy, even crazier than Voldemort’s actions!

But Evan doubted that Rowena Ravenclaw might have left a message of evil spirits.

After all, judging from the case of Gryffindor and Slytherin, the Four Founders all had secret ties with ancient evil gods.

The specific situation was not known. After the war, the heretical organization of “Raven’s Claw” completely disappeared and faded out of sight. Whether they still existed or not, Evan did not know and did not care.

He only hoped that the terrible woman, so-called goddess of war, the Morrighan, who might actually be some horrible evil god, would not be summoned.

Seeing the raven hovering in the sky, Evan remembered the “Raven’s Claw”.

The sound on the gate was still going on, with a strange tone.

“If you were allowed to choose the only achievement to be remembered after death, what would you choose?”

This question tested what was most important to the heart of the respondent. There seemed to be no margin, and it was difficult to answer.

It was conceivable that if the answer was wrong, what awaited Evan would be real death. 

Although it was difficult, considering that Ravenclaw was the person asking this question, there was obviously only one answer.

“Wisdom, I hope my wisdom will be remembered by the world!” said Evan softly.

“Correct answer,” said the voice “The smartest mind deserves a reward!”

The strange power that controlled Evan disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.

In the rumbling sound, the stone gate slowly opened and the raven, which had been hovering above his head, took the lead to fly in.

Evan followed in, and inside was a large circular room that looked very ethereal.

The decoration and layout were similar to Ravenclaw Common Room, with blue and bronze silk hanging on the wall.

But because of the long time, these decorations had become a bunch of rotten rags, which could only be vaguely identified.

The carpet on the ground was also rotten, and now there was only a lot of thick dust left.

The ceiling above was domed with stars painted on it.

In the corresponding position under each star, there were bookshelves filled with various magic classics.

There was a fake purple light of summer, and the books were completely isolated and protected by magic barriers.

While ensuring that the books inside were not affected by time and bacteria or insects, they could not be taken out for viewing.

Evan took a closer look and didn’t touch the books in the bookshelf, although he was really very tempted. But he was not sure that the protection magic he’d never seen before was not aggressive.

What’s more, even if he could crack it, it would take him a long time. And Evan could not stay here for too long. No one could guarantee when the Merpeople singing outside would stop.
