Chapter 282 Library and Curfew
"Something more...interesting?"
Hannah Abbott raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the white-haired dumpling in front of her strangely.
If she remembered correctly, she had just heard a similar sentence from Elena this morning.
Then, Elena took her to empty out the material reserves in the Potions classroom, and while no one was paying attention, she used magic to blow up Professor Snape's office and looted most of the rare potion materials. ,
And what little Hannah couldn't understand the most was that after doing this series of "appalling" things, judging from the results, Hufflepuff not only got extra points in the Potions class unprecedentedly, but also Lina even became a teaching assistant in Potions class.
"But, well, Professor Binns' office... I don't know where it is."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Hannah's face, and there was some hesitation in her tone, "Besides, Professor Binns has already died once, and he is very tired today. Let's try not to trouble this old man anymore."
After tonight's episode of History of Magic, Hannah clearly felt that Professor Binns, who was in a ghost state, might be in a more dangerous situation than other formal professors when facing Elena's tricky questions - as the class was about to end, At that time, poor Professor Binns' soul was visibly "faint".
"What are you thinking in your little head? I'm not a devil. How can I provoke others for no reason?"
Elena put the book in her hand on the table, pinched Little Tie Niu's nose gently, and said angrily.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in my mind. I'm just thinking, since there is no reliable magic chronology in the magic world today, why can't we try to re-establish a set of standards? And in this way, if everything goes well, maybe We will be responsible for revising the future designated textbook on the History of Magic."
"Re-establish a set of magical chronology, shall we?!"
Hannah's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaimed softly, pointing at herself and Elena in disbelief.
"But we are only in the first grade. No matter what we want to do, it's still a little too early, right?"
"It's just a rough idea at the moment. In fact, it's not as difficult as you think. It's just copying and organizing according to a new schedule. It doesn't require much creativity and knowledge - after all, we stand on the front On our shoulders, countless forerunners have helped us remove the thorns on the road ahead."
Elena shrugged, tapped her finger on the cover of "History of Magic" on the table, thoughtfully touched the gilded name of "ancestor" Bathilda Bagshot, and said softly.
"The specific details may require a lot of information to be consulted before they can be finalized. I think the Hogwarts library should have this part of the content, but..." As she spoke, Elena turned her head, pitifully He looked at Hannah anxiously and blinked obediently.
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you."
Hannah sighed helplessly and put down the textbook in her hand - this road idiot was really hopeless. If you think about it carefully, even the most vicious devil could not go out and do evil alone.
"But, this time I really just went to the school library to borrow books, right?" Xiao Tienniu glanced at Elena suspiciously, and confirmed again with some worry.
"Of course, of course! I love learning."
Elena nodded quickly, the little hair on her head swaying slightly as her head rose and fell.
"..."
Her eyes paused for a moment on the little silly hair that was swaying happily like a puppy's tail. Hannah was slightly relieved - well, she probably wasn't lying - and then she added again with a serious look on her face.
"Say in advance that if I find out you lied to me, I will leave you halfway and go back to the dormitory alone."
"I know, I know. I swear..." Elena raised three fingers, gestured casually, grabbed the food reserves and stuffed them into her chest skillfully, then took Hannah's little hand and couldn't wait to move towards the dormitory. Go outside.
"Anyway, let's get going, there's still curfew in an hour."
…
Without disturbing anyone, the two quietly passed through the low-ceilinged room with a faint earthy fragrance, followed the passage and left the Hufflepuff common room, and followed a familiar path (for Elena) towards Walk to the Hogwarts Library located on the second floor of the castle.
The castle was quiet, and the moonlight scattered through the windows in the corridors, filling Hogwarts at the turn of summer and autumn with a mysterious atmosphere. The last class has ended long ago. Except for a few senior students who may be hiding in pairs in empty classrooms to learn knowledge, most of the students have returned to the warm common room early.
At least for Elena and Hannah, apart from the portraits that talked to themselves and the creaking armor, they didn't see any other figures, not even a ghost, during the entire journey.
The Hogwarts Library is located on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle. It has thousands of bookshelves. In addition to the hidden forbidden book area, it is said that a total of 13,000 magic-related books are stored. Hogwarts students can read or borrow books here to study related majors or just for fun.
The librarian Irma Pince is responsible for maintaining order in the library. Although she is said to be a powerful witch, no one has ever seen her cast spells. She seems to prefer using a feather duster to a wand. Maintain order.
Whether a Hogwarts student or professor wants to take books out of the Hogwarts library, they must obtain permission from Madam Pince - according to Dumbledore, the Hogwarts library and school The infirmary was the only two places where even he had to obey the rules.
"Miss Aibo, it's already very late. Come back tomorrow."
Mrs. Pince stood at the entrance of the library, holding a feather duster, looking at Hannah kindly and said.
Today is the first official day of classes. There is no homework burden or exam pressure. There are very few little wizards visiting the library, less than ten people at the end of the whole day.
Therefore, Mrs. Pince was particularly impressed by Hannah and Hermione who could read quietly for an afternoon in the library. As a librarian, her favorite students were so quiet and loving. Reading children.
Just then, a white-haired dumpling appeared from behind Hannah.
"Dear Professor Pince, could you please be a little accommodating and lend me some books on the history of magic?"
"I said, tomorrow."
Mrs. Pince kept the smile on her face and said unmoved, "Also, this classmate, I am not a professor. Just call me Mrs. Pince,"
tomorrow?
It's too late. Tomorrow is the deadline for the agreement with the Lovegood family to break up, uh, friendly negotiations.
But speaking of it, the way Mrs. Pingsi addressed her just now...
Elena rolled her eyes and glanced thoughtfully at the witch with a formal smile on her face - it seemed that Mrs. Pince didn't know much about her deeds, otherwise at least she would never face ordinary passers-by like this now. A's tone.
In this case...
Almost without any preparation, Elena's body instinctively shrank slightly, like a frightened innocent little girl, timidly raised her hands, and stammered in a low voice under Hannah's extremely complicated eyes. .
"I, I come from an orphanage in the non-magical world, and I missed most of the first week of school due to injuries - the stories everyone usually tells about Hogwarts and the common sense in the wizarding world, I completely understand. I don’t understand, and I didn’t understand a word of the History of Magic tonight. So, so…”
"Oh, honey, I understand."
Mrs. Pince's eyes softened and she stepped aside to get out of the way. "Go ahead, you have a quarter of an hour to choose. But I suggest you start with "Hogwarts: A History of the School" and "Modern History of Magic". "These books are starting to look..."
