...

Early the next morning,

Jerry and Hermione, who had made a long-standing agreement, rushed to the library on the second floor together after having breakfast in the auditorium.

"So many books!"

As soon as she entered the library, Hermione couldn't help but exclaimed.

Jerry glanced over and nodded in agreement.

In the movie, the number of books in the library is not particularly highlighted, so it seems that the library at Hogwarts is not very big, and there are not many magic books.

But in fact, there are at least thousands of bookshelves in the entire library, with more than tens of thousands of magic books.

Also, the history of wizards can be said to be very long, and it involves various fields and many categories. How can there be so few related books?

"Let's get a library card first!"

After coming back to her senses, Hermione took Jerry and walked towards where the librarian Irma Pince was.

Hermione had told him on the way that if he wanted to read or borrow books in the library, he must first apply for a library card.

The librarian Irma Pince, a thin and old witch, heard that Jerry and Hermione wanted to apply for library cards, and she warned in a very stern tone:

"If you scratch, tear, dent, stain, damage, throw, drop, or in any other way damage, abuse, or desecrate the books in the library, I will hold you responsible within my authority.

The most horrific consequences.

Also, it is forbidden to eat any snacks in the library, and you are not allowed to go to the restricted book area without the teacher's signature and approval!"

Seeing both Jerry and Hermione nodding very honestly, she tapped the two brand new library cards with her magic wand, registered their information and handed them over.

"Restricted book area?"

Jerry reluctantly moved his eyes away from the rows of bookshelves marked with the restricted book section, and walked with Hermione to the ordinary book section, looking for the magic book he needed.

The bookshelves in the forbidden book area must contain many magic books that record powerful magic and potions, but without the teacher's signature, it is not easy to get them.

In fact, he had thought about sneaking into the library at night and stealing the magic books in the restricted area like he stole the Half-Blood Prince's notes.

But after thinking about it for a while, I still rejected this whimsical approach.

There were nothing precious in the Potions classroom except some basic herbs used by students for practice. Even if he sneaked in and was discovered, it would be no big deal.

Moreover, the Half-Blood Prince's notes have been kept in the locker for a long time, and Snape would not often look them out. He took the notes and memorized them quickly before returning them, and Snape probably wouldn't notice.

But the library is different, especially the restricted book area. There are so many dangerous magic books in it, and protection is definitely not simple. He is not Harry, and Dumbledore has opened the back door.

So it’s better not to take this risk for the time being, and then think about it slowly after you become stronger.

...

There were too many books in the library, and there were also a lot of miscellaneous books. Jerry searched for a long time before he found a book that felt useful to him now.

"Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft"

After briefly flipping through it, he found that it contained a lot of explanations about magic theory, which was very helpful for him to learn spells, so he took the magic book to the reading area nearby and turned on the "refreshing" function to read it.

stand up.

After a while, Hermione also sat next to Jerry with a copy of "A Guide to Medieval Witchcraft".

In this way, the two of them sat quietly on the bench and looked at the magic books in their hands. If they encountered something difficult to understand, they would try to communicate and discuss with each other.

At the end of the day, I feel like I have gained a lot.

Sometimes one person immersed in thinking is not as efficient as two people communicating.

Jerry felt that if he discussed the advanced spells invented by Snape with Hermione, it would shorten the time it took him to learn them.

But after some thought, he did not choose to do that.

It would be better not to let others know about his secret learning of magic spells for the time being. If it were leaked out, the good character he had created before would collapse.

The Hogwarts library closes at eight o'clock in the evening.

So after agreeing to continue reading tomorrow, Jerry and Hermione each borrowed a few magic books with their library cards and left the library.

However, when leaving the library, a small episode occurred.

That is when they happened to bump into the gloomy Professor Snape.

When Snape saw Jerry and Hermione coming out of the library talking and laughing, he was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know what he thought of, but he asked them a few questions in an uncharacteristically soft tone.

One of them asked him if he and Hermione had known each other before entering Hogwarts and became friends.

At that time, Jerry thought that since he and Hermione met in Diagon Alley, they were indeed friends before entering Hogwarts, so he nodded.

Unexpectedly, after Snape got the answer, he was startled. He let out a long sigh, patted Jerry on the shoulder, and told him earnestly that he shouldn't become alienated just because he wasn't in the same house.

Also, don’t be too obsessed with magic and don’t lose to Harry!

Jerry was confused on the spot.

With Snape's character, shouldn't he be allowed to have less contact with stupid Gryffindors, and focus more on learning magic to earn credits for Slytherin?

Could it be that he misunderstood something!

Without thinking about it, Jerry simply stopped worrying about it and continued to focus on learning magic.

In the next few days, when there were classes, he would attend classes seriously, study hard, and actively answer questions to gain credits and improve his reputation.

When he had no classes and evenings, he would take out the magic books he borrowed from the library to further his studies.

If there is anything you don't understand, just talk to Hermione.

In fact, he wanted to go to the teacher for advice.

However, there are not many teachers at Hogwarts, and almost most of them have to teach seven grades. Their time is also very tight, it is not easy to find him, and there is not much time to give him detailed guidance.

Time soon came to Wednesday of the second week.

That day, he saw a message on the bulletin board in the Slytherin common room announcing that he would have flying lessons with Gryffindor tomorrow.

Many little wizards became excited because of the arrival of flying lessons, especially male wizards like little Malfoy who like Quidditch.

Wednesday at ten o'clock in the evening,

Jerry got up as usual and left the dormitory.

However, this time he did not go to the common room to read. Instead, he violated Hogwarts' curfew rules and sneaked upstairs.

Now he only has more than thirty little red stars left, and he can no longer hold on until tomorrow.

So he wanted to get a flying broom before returning to the main world at twelve o'clock in the evening.

After returning in this way, he can earn little red stars more efficiently.
Chapter completed!
