Beauty isn't the only thing I have

{Chapter 23}

Arayna's Pov

The year ended with Ravenclaw still winning the Quidditch Cup. And Gryffindor winning the House Cup.

For the Horcruxes, 2 down and 6 more to go. We have agreed like last time. Leo and Karina will be at the Gaunt Shack, looking for the ring. Ron had agreed to help, and we already confirmed that his rat, Scabbers, is Peter Pettigrew. We already set up a rat trap for him, so that he wouldn't escape it, and he's been there since we got him. And now me and Oliver are in the hidden library in my home, which we were fortunately able to find. Oliver though can't enter unless he got my permission, as I have the Ravenclaw blood in me, and was able to give him access to enter.

Looking around the room, I was mesmerized, and I could tell Oliver was the same, seeing the his eyes almost bulging out of its sockets.

"Woah.." I muttered, my finger tips touching the books, that were most likely hidden and forgotten in the Wizarding World. Feeling the energy and power running through me. Very light yet suffocating energy.

"Ara," Oliver called to me, as I looked back at him, his eyes on the Ravenclaw Diadem.

As I walk towards it, I can instantly feel the dark energy from the Horcrux in it. When I almost reached it. I felt something, like calling for me, it's like hypnotizing me to move somewhere else. I walk something towards unfamiliar until I am in front of it.

A crown.

Haven Ravenclaw-Lovegood's crown.

As I was about to touch it. It suddenly glowed blue with a mix of emerald green. As magic surrounds the crown. And on its own, it placed itself on my head.

"What..." I muttered in confusion and surprise.

Oliver stuck in his place, looking at me with wide eyes.

And suddenly something happened, as if, I was suddenly placed in a dream. A woman in front of me, Haven Ravenclaw-Lovegood. I looked for Oliver, and he wasn't with me. It was only me and her.

She smiled warmly at me, "We finally meet Arayna,"

I snap out of my shock and managed to say with a smile, "Lady Haven," and nodded in greeting.

She chuckled, "My, my... I can see my crown fit you well. And chose right."

I look at her with my head tilt to the side in confusion.

And as if she can sense my confusion, she said, "Nothing to worry about... It's just that the crown hasn't chosen anyone after me, well until it decided to be you. And I can see why."

"Chosen?"

She smiled and nodded, "With a heart of pure and gold, with a beauty that can stand no other, and with a mind that learns and understand. You are chosen."

I look at her with confusion and surprise, "I am chosen for what exactly?"

"Just like me. I was chosen too. The very first one. And you are the second chosen by the crown... You see here Arayna. My mother's Diadem is made of with her blood and magic, and with the help of Goblins too. The crown was made just like my mother's, but it also has my blood in it. The crown can only be held and is chosen by my bloodline, which was continued through my husband's family the Lovegood's. My mother's bloodline flows through my generation too, as Helena did not have someone to continue the Ravenclaw bloodline. So it was me. And now you."

"What happens as I got chosen?"

"Well I'm sure you have heard what I have gone through, but not in full details. But you tell me, you're a smart and beautiful girl, with a pure heart."

I nibbled my lip in thought, as I rack through my brain, as I put everything connected. "I am chosen, because of having a pure and gold heart, with the looks that many would want, and a mind that can learn and understand... Just like you. You faced many challenges with your husband, living with Morgana... You were able to use your mind to learn and know better... You were able to be beautiful inside and out, and kept your emotions to yourself, masking it from Morgana... And with your pure heart, you were able to stay away from dark and evil."

I look back at her, and saw that she has a proud smile on her face, "Exactly. Being chosen can be both a curse and a blessing. But dedicating yourself and many others can help you a lot. The crown symbolizes you being chosen. All of these belong the chosen. The properties you saw in your inheritance.. I believe that one of those properties can be the home to you and the young man."

She continued, "In this situation you are in... I think you'll be able to accomplish the goal and live your life to the fullest. Now, I believe we are finish here, and we don't have much time anymore... Remember who you are." And with a smile, she finished, and now I'm back to the room.

Oliver looked relieved and sighed, "Oh Merlin- Thanks goodness, you're good. You were spacing out for the whole 5 minutes."

I blinked, That was fast.

I then saw he had something in his hands and asked, "What's that?", as I took off the crown. And placed it with the diadem in a box that I brought.

Oliver then looked sheepish and gave me it, "Well, we have a problem.."

"He escaped"
