Chapter 42 Who doesn't like Miss Granger (recommend and collect, recommended and requested period)

He found some red candies from the wizard's pouch, and nothing else.

After that, he walked until the sun rose before standing up, pulling the chair to the desk, refilling the cup with water, and then taking out the notes to organize them.

It didn't take much time. The short trip to Knockturn Alley didn't bring anything useful. Maybe the information will be useful in the future, but now they are just useless texts.

Black-haired woman? Avery family's ball? Boiling Oil Gang? The number of missing people is gradually increasing? The undertaker?

Xing Ze kept repeating the fragmented information in his mind. He stretched his legs to take the cup, but found that the tea was empty.

"Maybe he should change to something else to refresh himself." He said to himself, and got up to add some water.

He thought about seeking help from the Key Hall, but because the authority was too low, most of the contents of "The Key to the Door" except for the investigator's leg book could not be viewed.

Of course, it was not a fantasy to seek R's help. He still remembered the question he asked when he left the wine cellar - how should he contact me?

"Oh, friend, don't make a mistake." Mr. R looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, "They contacted me, they gave me tasks. But it was one-way, do I know what one-way means?"

Come to think of it, it is not surprising that the investigation that was almost helpless and full of danger was given to him by someone who wanted him to die.

Just then, Xing Ze suddenly thought of something, he stopped and put the cup on the fireplace.

"Why does he want to organize the materials in his dormitory? Why does he want to rely on those pathetic fools? Is he really a complete idiot?" He picked up the notebook and walked out of the dormitory quickly towards the school library.

The collection of books in the Hogwarts Library is second only to the Cliona Library in Glastonbury. There are many kinds of books there. Xing Ze intends to find some information about the Avery family and Knockturn Alley here.

He was lucky enough to find a book called "The Sacred Twenty-Eight" in an unnamed old bookshelf in the forbidden book section. The book recorded and introduced the twenty-eight British wizard families that were still "truly pure-blooded" in the 1930s, among which the Avery family was one.

Then, he found a book called "A Hitchhiker's Guide to Knockturn Alley" in the guidebook shelf, and finally found "The Last Month of the Death Eaters" in the record documents.

Xing Ze took the three books to the public reading room, and he stuffed a fruit-flavored candy into his mouth while Madam Pince was not paying attention.

Half an hour later, he closed "The Sacred Twenty-Eight". His memory after rebirth had also improved significantly, but he didn't like to write down the things he had learned in the notebook.

Many times, it's not that my memory has problems, but that my thinking has problems, which will lead to major deviations in my investigation. Just like the curse of the detective-sometimes the answer is right in front of me, but I focus on the wrong clues.

Notes helped Xing Ze organize his thoughts and remind him of details that he didn't care about, at least he didn't think so.

"It's really interesting. The Avery family is from Denmark."

Although it's not known whether it's true or not, the book mentioned that the ancestors of the Avery family once followed King Canute into England. It wasn't until Edward the Confessor restored the Wessex dynasty that they had to return to Denmark.

But when did they migrate to Great Britain and why did they return here? The book didn't give too much explanation, only saying that the Avery family was eager to learn more ancient magic.

"More ancient magic, huh, do the British really think highly of themselves." Xing Ze whispered sarcastically, peeled another fruit candy, and was about to put it in his mouth, but heard a few coughs.

He hurriedly put the candy back into the candy wrapper, raised his head calmly and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Ah, he's really not surprised to see me in the library, Miss Granger."

"No food allowed in the library." Although she lowered her head and kept her mouth shut, she couldn't hide the smugness in her tone, "But if I give him some, he can keep it a secret for you, Mr. Xingze."

She raised her head, her thick and messy brown hair trembled a few times, her shiny brown eyes stared at Xingze nervously, but her eyebrows were still raised, like a proud orange cat.

"How much do I want?"

Hermione smiled after getting the affirmation, and also showed her rabbit-like front teeth.

"One, oh no, two." She couldn't help but giggle, and the laughter attracted the attention of Madam Pince, who frightened her and immediately shut her mouth and buried her head in the thick book she brought.

Xingze took out two fruit candies from his pocket, sandwiched them in the book "The Last Month of Death Eaters" and pushed them to Hermione.

He coughed lightly and said, "Page 123, he thought I could read it, Miss Granger."

Hermione raised her head, opened the book, and quickly took the two fruit candies.

"Very good, Mr. Xingze." She imitated the tone of an adult, "Is that a secret between them?"

Xingze smiled slightly, put the fruit candy in his leg into his mouth, and then said earnestly: "Miss Granger, sometimes, intelligence is a double-edged sword, it will hurt myself."

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked with a blink of her eyes.

‘One day, I will know.’ Xing Ze finished speaking, and lowered his head to read the book “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Knockturn Alley”.

The book was written by a Squib named Douglas based on his ten years of living in Knockturn Alley, and it contains many local rumors and horror folklore.

The Boiling Oil Gang, this criminal organization rose in 1982. Just one year after Voldemort’s fall, they quickly took over and annexed all the gangs, big and small, in Knockturn Alley.

The book mentioned the origin of the name of the Boiling Oil Gang, which was because the gang leader Wax Face liked to pour boiling wax on living people to make wax figures.

The author hinted at the various activities of the Boiling Oil Gang and the Avery family in a very obscure way. Perhaps he was afraid of causing trouble, so he attributed those contents to rumors.

“What books have I read? "Hermione, who had not shut up for a long time, suddenly asked. She looked at the thick "Death Eater's Last Month" with a puzzled look.

Xing Ze stretched his legs to hold down the book and slowly pulled it back to his side, "Is it a good habit to peek into their privacy, Miss Granger?"

"He...he just..." Hermione was speechless for a moment, "He accidentally glimpsed it."

"Okay." Xing Ze turned the book on his legs over, "Tell him what I'm reading, and they'll be even."

"Oh, no problem." Hermione stood up the thick "Spells Encyclopedia".

Xing Ze narrowed his eyes and asked in some confusion: "Does he remember that the spell class for first-year freshmen is scheduled on that Friday, so why did I start preparing for it so early?"

"He has some questions about one of the spells." Hermione replied.

"Is it the petrification spell?" Xing Ze remembered that the most difficult spell in the first grade was that one.

"No. "Hermione shook her head, "Of course, that spell is also difficult, but he is confident that he can learn it. No floating spell."
