"So are you sure your necklace isn't some cheap knock off. Because what if you figure out what it is and then we have nothing else to follow?" Lisa said as we made our way to the library.

"Like I said, I have a strong feeling that this is more than a necklace. Like, it has some sort of magic behind it. I mean who would just give me a random necklace if it wasn't for something important." I said as we made our way up the stairs quickly, trying to get to the top before the stairs move.

"I get that. But are you sure you don't have a relative that has any of those initials? Especially the first one?" Lisa asked.

"I have a family tree in my mansion at home, the tree room is a seperate room. I used to look at it every day and none of the initials match any of my relatives that are alive. Though what you said about the other two being familiar, you might be right about something."

"Blaze. It's our first week of school and you're already trying to figure out something. I don't know if that's normal for someone like you. For anyone!!" Lisa exclaimed as we arrived outside of the library.

"Well. We're at Hogwarts. We can figure out anything here. Rather than when I'm at home. If I even mention anything about muggleborns, my mother will go on a rant about our blood heritage and I'll just leave the conversation at that." I said stiffly as I headed into the library, Lisa following behind me.

"You know, if you didn't want to come you could of said no?" I whispered to her as I looked around the place.

"No. I want to help you but, assuming something might be something else based on a feeling isn't necessarily convincing that it might be something else."

"Yeah, well I want to figure it out as soon as I can. I mean, we just started school so I don't want to be packed with homework when I might need to figure it out."

"True." Lisa said.

"Alright. I'm going to ask the librarian for information, do you think you can find a table while I do that?" I asked.

"Yep."

"Ok, I'll be right back." I walked up to the counter at the front of the room, almost instantly regretting for Lisa to be with me while I do it.

"G-good m-morning." I stuttered. The librarian turned around and looked down at me with a small smile.

"What can I do for you?" She asked.

"D-do you know anything a-about the Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem? Or have any books I could use for my research?" I asked.

"Why yes. Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem is also known as the lost diadem. People have spent centuries trying to find it but it has never shown up. Not since it disappeared in the 11th century after she had fallen ill and died. What exactly sparked your interest?" She asked. I quickly pulled my necklace out from under my robes and fumbled with it as I tried to take it off.

"This." I handed her my necklace so she could observe it. She looked around the necklace and traced the words on the bottom of the wings.

"I see.. Give me a moment. The book you need is in another room right now. Let me go retrieve it." She then left. With my necklace. I stood there awkwardly as she took about 10 minutes to retrieve the book, finally coming back with both my necklace and a very old and tattered book.

"Here you are my dear. I need you to sign in the book so I know you had checked this out and you will be ready to go." She said handing me the book and a pen.

The name of the book was "Relics of Ravenclaw: A History of Ravenclaw Artifacts". I opened the cover and looked at the list. Most of it was initials but some was full written names. I looked at the names and one in particular stood out to me. More as the initials.
