Chapter 138 Adventures in the Library

Mrs. Pince felt bad when she saw that Granger came to the library to read on the first day of school.

She forced a stiff smile and said to Hermione: "Little girl, you worked so hard on the first day of school. Why don't you play with your classmates in the dormitory for two days?"

Hermione showed a thoughtful expression after hearing Mrs. Pince's words.

"You're right."

Seeing Hermione say this, Mrs. Pince couldn't help but be overjoyed: As long as this little girl is addicted to playing games with her roommates, wouldn't she stop coming to the library to mess with her precious books?

"I'll just bring them over next time to read a book together."

After saying this, Hermione walked straight into the depths of the library, where Mrs. Liupins stood alone, like a stone sculpture.

What Mrs. Pince didn't know was that when she spoke to Hermione, the little girl was extremely nervous, lest she check her backpack - then she would have to explain the more than ten magic books stamped with the Hogwarts mark. How did it come about?

She wandered among the bookshelves, taking out the fake books one by one from memory and replacing them with the genuine ones in her bag.

Soon, she returned most of the books, leaving only one "Wizard's Ancient Ruins" that she had yet to find. Fortunately, a few minutes later, she found the replaced fake book at the bottom of a bookshelf.

Hermione suddenly broke into a cold sweat: Mrs. Pince actually tidied the bookshelves just after school started! Fortunately, she didn't find the problem in "Wizard Ancients".

Just as Hermione was about to put the recovered fake books into her backpack, she caught a glimpse of blue from the corner of her eye, and she froze in place.

She raised her head little by little, and then saw a middle-aged witch wearing an exquisite blue wizard robe looking at her with a smile. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be the same as Sparrow, the headmaster of Hufflepuff College. Professor Te is about the same age, but he is better maintained and has a better temperament.

The blue-robed witch looked familiar, but Hermione couldn't remember where she had seen her.

Hermione: ...

For the first time, she felt what it meant to be "overwhelmed by fear." Her mind went blank and she had no idea what to say or what to do.

Although she didn't recognize the witch in front of her, she was obviously a professor at the school. She discovered what she had done, and now she was finished.

The blue-robed witch hooked her hand and motioned for Hermione to follow her. Hermione looked blank and followed her in a very stiff posture.

The witch walked deeper into the library, turned around a few bookshelves, and took Hermione to a small room that looked like a study room.

The furnishings of the room are very simple, with only a long table, seven chairs beside the table, and a whiteboard for writing. There is also a closed side door on the wall on one side of the study room, and I don’t know where it leads.

This was Hermione's first time here, and she hadn't even noticed that there was such a study room in the library before.

"sit down."

This was the first time the blue-robed witch spoke to Hermione. Her voice was gentle, like music. Hearing such a pleasant voice, Hermione became less nervous for no reason.

"Why are you doing this?" The blue-robed witch pointed to Hermione's schoolbag.

"That's it..." Hermione told the witch about the problem she encountered in borrowing books last semester, except that she hid the part about Rice.

"Did you turn the parchment into a book?" The blue-robed witch asked a question that was very difficult for Hermione to answer - telling the truth would betray Rice, and lying would deceive the professor in front of her.

In the end, Hermione chose to insist that she had conjured it up.

The blue-robed witch smiled: "Then your level of transformation is quite high."

Hermione pursed her lips.

"Let's stop this topic here. There is indeed a problem with the school's library management system. It is because the people who made the rules did not consider it well. But I hope you will remain sincere in the following dialogue."

Hermione blushed slightly.

"You seem to like spending time in the library very much?" The blue-robed witch casually raised the topic as if chatting.

"Yes, there are a lot of books here. I like reading."

"Me too, books are the most precious inheritance left to us by our ancestors." The blue-robed witch seemed very satisfied with Hermione's answer, and then she asked a key question: If you love reading so much, you should be a Ravenclaw. Laohu?

After receiving a positive reply, an expression of "Sure enough" appeared on her face - only Ravenclaw House could have children who love reading so much.

"You look a lot like the founder of Ravenclaw."

"Don't dare to take it seriously..."

"what's your name?"

This question immediately made Hermione nervous: Didn't you say that the topic stopped here? Why are you still asking for my name? Are you going to complain to Professor Flitwick or Professor Dumbledore?

"Hermione Jane Granger." Although she was panicking, Hermione still reported her name truthfully.

After hearing Hermione's name, the blue-robed witch played with her black hair hanging down to her shoulders with her fingers. Her shiny black hair was rolled up, spread out, and fiddled with. The blue-robed witch played with her hair like a kitten playing with its tail.

When she does this it means she is thinking.

The witch was silent for a few seconds, which made Hermione extremely panicked. Fortunately, the witch did not express her intention to punish Hermione in her next words, but asked some irrelevant questions, such as what she said in the book last year. How long she had been in the library, how her grades were, whether reading various books affected her studies, etc.

Hermione nodded and told her that she had spent more than a thousand hours in the library. She came to the school library to read every day when she was free. Her grades were not bad. She was lucky and got perfect scores in all subjects.

"Full marks in all subjects?" The blue-robed witch was a little surprised now.

This mysterious blue-robed witch is Ravenclaw, or a phantom formed by the magic of Ravenclaw - if Hermione were bolder and touched the body of the witch in front of her, she would be surprised to find out , the witch in front of her was just an illusion and had no entity. She had just been outside the "study room" and had not touched any physical matter.

And this "study room" is her exclusive classroom in Hogwarts Castle, similar to Rice's "Secret Room".

At the end of the last school year, after Rice brought Ravenclaw back to consciousness, she found a way to send a ray of magic to the ground, and used this ray of magic as a key to activate her back-up plan in the exclusive classroom.

She used the magic circle left in the secret classroom on the surface to forcefully open a special passage on the seal, allowing her consciousness to pass through the seal and land on the magic shadow formed in her exclusive classroom.

Due to the existence of the seal, her phantom was extremely limited and could not even walk out of the library door - the signal would be "lost" if she strayed further away from the secret classroom, but in the end it was a breakthrough from scratch.

Of course, if Les knew, he would definitely be dissatisfied, because Ravenclaw's behavior was undoubtedly a breach of the seal.
