#20 The Ghost Inside?

The journey from the dungeons had not been quick, but rather confusing and took her a few times doubling back. Once she found her way, she focused on the note left by Dumbledor. Who would force him out of the castle? That was concerning to her… Did someone know he was trying to find the artefacts? Was it the current headmaster? Was it the ministry of magic?

If someone was able to do that to Dumbledor, there had to be something major, right? She rubbed the back of her neck and had come to a stop, leaning against the doorway. She had to find this secret artefact room, right? One that Rowena Ravenclaw had? The thought that had landed on the founder caused her to wonder the castle and when she looked up, she realized where she was.

Subconsciously, she had brought herself to the Ravenclaw Tower and now, she stood there just looking around. So, if the Founder of Ravenclaw had a secret room for Artefacts, it would make sense for it to be here, in Ravenclaw tower, right? She looked around at some of the pictures, many which she had never seen.

If she needed information about Ravenclaw, maybe it was Rivera she needed to speak to? She had been a Ravenclaw, right? She was the head of house for Ravenclaw… It made sense.

But, then again, it made too much sense… Why would Rowena Ravenclaw put her artefact room in Ravenclaw Tower? That would be too easy… So, maybe she needed to speak to Archerose? He knew a lot about history and the castle itself was full of history, right?

But, maybe that was also too easy? What if he was one that helped forced Dumbledor out? She felt doubt in that idea, mostly because he just did seem like someone to do that. No, she felt it was something else. It would have been nice to actually talk to the Ghost of Rowena Ravenclaw, but she had never heard of any founders becoming ghost, which was kind of a shame…

Ghost… Lindsey stopped in her tracks… The castle had lots of Ghost for all the houses! That was it! She needed to speak to a Ghost for Ravenclaw! She was in the right place, right? Maybe this was the chance she needed. But, how did one find a Ghost?

”Hello?” Lindsey looked around a little meekly for a moment. ”I’m searchin’ for a Ghost for Ravenclaw house, I had a question about somethin’ and I dinna think anyone can help me,” she asked, looking around the area as she walked, hoping on of the ghost heard her.
