Chapter 25 Library

Mrs. Pince always disliked the start of school, because it meant that her cherished books would once again be ruthlessly read by rough little wizards.

Likewise, a quiet and solemn library will become noisy.

And when school just started today, she saw a sneaky little wizard sneaking into the library quietly and pretending to be hanging out in front of the bookshelf. She really saw this kind of student too many times.

Sure enough, the other party stopped at the door of the restricted book area without any surprise.

"It's not reassuring at all. I really don't know what's so curious about here."

Although Mrs. Pingsi was complaining in her heart, she did not delay her actions at all, and soon blocked the way before the other party approached the cordon.

"Child! What book are you looking for? There is a restricted book area in front of you. This place is not open to students."

To be honest, Mrs. Pingsi originally planned to scold her, but the moment the other party turned her head, a pair of crystal clear eyes made her change her tone.

"Hello, professor!" Ino bowed slightly. Although he knew that the other person was not a professor, he still greeted him politely.

"As you can see, I'm lost! But I really didn't plan to go to the restricted book area. I just wanted to come to the library to find some books about magic, because my last class was Professor Flitwick's magic class."

As he spoke, Ino calmly looked at the witch in front of him, the Hogwarts librarian Irma Pince. Just as described in the original book, she was a skinny lady over fifty years old. .

"I'm not a professor, just call me Ms. Pince!" Mrs. Pince said with a smile.

Different from the noisy little wizards in the past, the well-behaved and polite boy in front of her seemed to have inspired her hidden maternal brilliance, and his tone was surprisingly kind.

"Okay, Ms. Pince!" Ino nodded lightly, "Can you tell me where the books on magic are stored? Merlin! This place is really too big."

"Of course! The number of books here is unimaginable."

Mrs. Pingsi said extremely proudly, then after thinking for a few seconds, she said:

"There are too many books on spells, but I recommend you start with the most basic ones. Follow me, kid!"

A few minutes later.

Ino followed Mrs. Pince to another area.

"The themes here are all about magic, but I sincerely recommend that you don't read blindly. Maybe in a few years you can try to read on the back bookshelf, but not now."

Just when Mrs. Pingsi was about to leave, she seemed to suddenly think of something again, turned around and said:

"Oh, by the way, although you are a polite child, I still have to say that if you tear, fold, throw or otherwise damage the books, I will permanently banish you from Hogwarts. Such rights.”

"Don't worry about this. I will cherish every book as if it were my friend." Ino promised without thinking.

He knew Mrs. Pince's character very well. Although he didn't know why she was so kind today, if she wanted to stay in the library permanently in the future, it would be the wisest to have a good relationship with the actual person in power here.

After hearing the promise, Mrs. Pingsi nodded slightly to express her approval.

"Sorry for scaring you. I need to explain the rules here to every student who comes to the library for the first time. This is my job."

Hearing this, Ino said nonchalantly: "Of course, a responsible administrator is not only lucky for the library and books, but also for us borrowers."

A dose of commercial flattery immediately made Mrs. Pince smile.

"If only everyone could be sensible like this..."

…

As Mrs. Pince left, Ino's mind also shifted to the books in front of her.

Unlike most people, he has no interest in the dark magic of the Restricted Area. Even if it is as strong as the Unforgivable Curse, if the little wizard uses it, it will only make Mad-Eye Moody a little nosebleed.

But equally, maybe the Death Eaters tied together still couldn't resist the Vulcan released by Dumbledore to clear the way.

This shows that it is not the curse that is strong, but the person who releases the curse.

at the same time.

Among the dazzling book titles, Ino chose the second grade edition of "Standard Spells".

Nothing else matters more than safety.

He carefully picked up the book and walked to the reading area next to it.

After opening the book, he also discovered that compared to the standard elementary spells, the second-grade textbook not only explained the previous spells in depth again.

At the same time, several new practical magics have been added, such as: expansion spell, freezing spell, universal cracking spell, creaking spell...

…

Potions classroom at Hogwarts.

It is located in the basement of the castle, and is the closest classroom to the Slytherin common room.

After returning from the library, Ino took her textbooks and went to the classroom with Malfoy and others.

The little snakes have always attached great importance to the courses taught by their dean. Not only did they come to the classroom early to wait, they didn't even have any small talk before class. The whole classroom was eerily quiet.

However, the silence did not last long before it was broken. As more and more Gryffindors entered the classroom, noisy conversations gradually began.

"Let me tell you, there is really no need to come so early. Just look at the time, Harry! We are 20 minutes ahead of schedule..."

"Stop talking Ron, hurry up and go in first. Did you forget the Transfiguration class in the morning? And compared to Professor McGonagall, this Professor Snape seems to be less easy to deal with..."

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first.

In the relatively quiet basement, the sound of conversations outside the corridor always travels far.

In the classroom, Malfoy, who had almost fallen asleep while sitting, suddenly became energetic after hearing Harry's name. His eyes were bright and eager, and he looked like he was ready to cause trouble at any time.

…

Time passes minute by minute.

Ino sat quietly in the back row, watching with interest the little wizards who entered the classroom one after another.

Harry, Ron, the explosive genius Seamus, the real swordsman Neville, the know-it-all lady Hermione, etc...

Interestingly, Miss Know-It-All seemed to be in a mood, because when the other person passed by him just now, he not only turned his head to one side, but also raised his chin aloofly.

It looked like a proud swan.

"It's inexplicable! Day by day...it's like someone owes you money."

Ino was also a little speechless. He asked himself that he had never offended Hermione, especially after the sorting, he had not said a word to her.

…

2pm sharp.

There was a "bang" at the door, and Potions Professor Snape strode into the classroom.

The tall and thin figure is paired with a long black robe, and the sleeves on both sides move freely as he walks.

The candles on the walls of the classroom were lit one by one following his footsteps.

When he reached the podium and turned around, all the candlesticks glowed brightly at the same time, as if they had been agreed upon.

Snape stood calmly on the podium, looking at everyone indifferently. No little wizard dared to look at him wherever he looked.

"Good, it seems you all understand the importance of being on time."

New book released, new journey, thank you all for your support.
