Chapter 6 Library

"Ivan, after dinner, how about we go back to the dormitory and play wizard chess?" On Wednesday afternoon, after finishing his last class, Ron asked inarticulately in the lounge while gnawing on chicken legs. Ivan.

Ivan slowly put the last piece of steak into his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and refused.

"No, I have to go to the library later. You and Harry can go play."

"Harry's chess moves are really terrible, not challenging at all." Ron shook his head in disappointment at first, and then as if he suddenly noticed Ivan's words, the drumstick in his hand fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! The library? I thought only one person in the whole grade would go there!"

"Hermione?" Ivan thought for a while. The only little wizard who ran to the library every day in the first few days of school should be our know-it-all.

"Yeah, who else besides her?" Ron said in an exaggerated tone.

Harry on the side suddenly pulled Ron's shoulder. Only then did Ron realize that Hermione was also in the lounge holding a pile of books. Then he lowered his voice and talked in front of everyone about how much Hermione liked to preach and how... How arrogant.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the distance, Hermione didn't make any movement, so she probably didn't hear Ron's words.

Harry also listened in situ with an embarrassed look on his face. He didn't like this kind of behavior of speaking ill of people behind their back, but the other little wizards were very interested.

It has to be said that in just a few days since school started, Miss Granger has become famous in the gossip circle of little wizards for her preaching temperament.

Ivan did not participate in the discussion about Hermione, but he was not surprised by this situation.

After all, they are all eleven or twelve-year-old little wizards, and no one likes to be preached to in person, especially when the preacher is a little wizard of the same age.

"Ivan, what are you doing in the library?" Harry asked curiously.

Is it because the brothers are not fun anymore? Is it because the brothers are not interesting enough? Or is the wizard flag not fun anymore? Although Ron didn't speak, his eyes clearly meant this.

It's like your buddy who made an appointment with you every day to play games after school, and suddenly one day he said he was going to the library to study hard after school.

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched,

He didn't want to play with the wizard flag, he just made some attempts to see if there were other ways to obtain academic points.

Isn’t it because the wizard flag is novel and fun?

"Don't you think the homework assigned by the professors is getting more and more difficult? What will you do at the end of the semester if you don't work hard now?" Ivan glanced at Harry and sighed after a long while.

Ivan knew that his talent was mediocre and coupled with the disadvantage of the wand's fit, his spellcasting level was basically at the middle to lower level among first-year wizards.

In this case, the only way to improve the evaluation of professors is to work on the knowledge level.

Improve your knowledge reserve and answer questions regularly, and you might be able to get impression points or something.

"Ron, are you coming?" After Ivan finished eating, he packed up his things and said to Ron.

Although Ron's magic talent is better than his, it is only above average at best. Compared with Harry, the gap is still obvious. In addition, Ron himself does not work hard, so he will be iron in the future. The weakest of the triangle.

So out of good intentions, Ivan still reminded him.

Although Ivan didn’t expect Ron to agree.

As expected, Ron shook his head rapidly. "Are you kidding me? We've only been here a few days and we're still far away from the end of the semester. Why are you in a hurry?"

"Forget it." Ivan didn't care and walked straight to the library.

"Just watch, Ivan will be back within an hour at most, or I will eat the chessboard," Ron muttered and swore.

The library of Hogwarts has the largest and most complete collection of magic books in the UK and even Europe, ranging from ordinary teaching books to esoteric forbidden spells and black magic.

Ivan, who came to the library for the first time, was also shocked by the massive collection of books. Rows of bookshelves were closely connected. There were as many as a thousand magic books on each bookshelf, which was far more than what Ivan had seen in his previous life. It's much more spectacular in movies.

Perhaps because the school has just started, there are not many little wizards in the library. They are leaning on the bookshelves or in the corridor in twos and threes, which leaves a lot of space in the rest area in the middle.

[Ding, explore to the library]

The system sound in his mind brought Ivan's attention back. After a closer look, he discovered that the task of exploring Hogwarts in the task tree had been increased by five percentage points at a time.

What's more important is that, including the increased academic grade points, it is enough to collect the 100 academic grade points needed to exchange for the academic master experience card.

Ivan couldn't help but look towards the forbidden book area. The magics he was looking for, Lemenmenia and Occlumency, could be found here.

"Child, are you looking for any books?" Mrs. Alma Pince, the librarian, walked over from the side and asked softly.

"Yes, ma'am, where are the books related to the transformation spell? It's better to be more basic." Ivan retracted his gaze from the restricted book area and turned to Mrs. Pince.

"Follow me." Mrs. Pingsi guided Ivan to a bookshelf, took out a "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from the bookshelf, handed it to Ivan, and then paused and continued.

"What you were looking at just now is in the restricted book area. Unless you can get authorization from the professors, otherwise, you are not allowed to read or borrow related books."

"I'm just curious, but I don't intend to actually go in." Ivan took the book in his hand and shrugged casually.

Ivan was not planning to read these dangerous forbidden books in the near future. After all, with his current magic foundation, he was not suitable to learn these advanced magics.

Anyway, there is still a whole semester left. Let’s talk about it when I have some free time.

After Mrs. Pingsi finished explaining to Ivan, she turned around and left. After all, she still had to keep an eye on the senior wizards. Almost every once in a while, a young wizard would try to break into the forbidden book area. .

Of course, before leaving, Mrs. Pince did not forget to remind Ivan that no noise is allowed in the library!

After walking to the rest area and sitting down, Ivan was not in a hurry to experiment with the effect of the Academic Master Experience Card. Instead, he flipped through the book on his own, preparing to read it in a normal state for a while and then compare it. See how many times the learning efficiency can be improved.

Soon there was only the sound of turning pages in the lounge, and his thoughts were occasionally interrupted by slight noises coming from elsewhere.
