Chapter 34 Life is incomplete without night tours!
Rowe walked around the library. He wanted to sneak into the restricted area and catch the nasty silverfish.
But unfortunately, no matter where he went, Mrs. Pingsi's eyes were fixed on him, so the young man had to give up strategically.
Luofu walked towards the self-study area, where there were some tables and many students sitting there reading.
Most of them are Ravenclaw eaglets. As a college known for its "wisdom", the most intuitive way to show "wisdom" is through academic performance.
Although this understanding is biased, Yingyuan has formed a top-down involution atmosphere, and everyone comes to the library to study every day.
Hufflepuff is a pioneer against involution, and leisure and leisure are their daily routine. When the little badgers have free time, most of them do not come to the library. Instead, they drink afternoon tea in the common room and enjoy snacks made by house elves.
The hard-working, restless and busy house elves cured their mental internal friction.
Not many Gryffindor students came, they were busy adventuring around the castle.
As for Slytherin House, they firmly believe that "socializing is better than studying hard". Making good connections is the main task, and studying is just a minor skill. After all, many people do not do well in school and have to go home to inherit the manor and family property.
Rove soon found Shirley and Hermione in the corner. The two girls were studying. One frowned slightly and the other bit her quill. They both looked serious and working hard.
Shirley was writing the homework assigned to her by Professor McGonagall. Rolf glanced at it and said, well... the progress was a little faster than him.
As for Hermione, as soon as Rolf came closer, she stretched out her hands to cover the parchment, blushing and said, "Don't look at it!"
But Luo Fu had already seen a lot of content, and he lowered his voice and read:
"Dear Professor Dumbledore, hello... I am an ordinary first-year freshman in Gryffindor House... I want to make a complaint..."
Hermione hurriedly leaned on the desk, pressed her chin on the parchment, and shouted: "Don't read... don't read!"
Rolf sat on the chair and said with a strange look on his face: "Hermione, are you writing a letter to the principal and preparing to complain to Professor Quirrell?"
Hearing this, even Shirley glanced curiously, Hermione blinked, blushed and hummed:
"No? I'm also thinking about everyone's studies! What can be learned from such a Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"
"Then you may have to write a lot of letters."
"Why?" The girl raised her head, looked at Rolf, and frowned softly: "You mean, it's just a complaint letter, and Professor Dumbledore won't take it seriously?"
"No, I mean..." Rolf grinned: "You may have to complain to many professors next, half of the teachers at Hogwarts are unqualified.
You just met Professor Quirrell and you can't bear it?"
"..."
Shirley tapped her fingers on the table gently, and she reminded in a low voice: "Mrs. Pince is watching us."
Both Rolf and Hermione immediately shut up. After a while, the witch's gaze shifted, and Rolf explained in a whisper:
"I just wanted to go to the restricted area and was caught by Mrs. Pingsi. She is now staring at me and preparing to cause trouble for me."
"Why are you going to the restricted area?" Shirley asked curiously.
"I found a silverfish," Rolf replied.
Both girls looked confused, which is normal. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt did not record this unpopular magical creature.
Silverfish are so rare that even Newt, who is so knowledgeable, has only seen one in his life.
"It is a magical creature that can swim between the lines, using the magic contained in the words as food." Luo Fu explained:
"They can absorb words, and of course they can also spit out words. It is no exaggeration to say that a silverfish is a walking library."
"Really? You caught it?" Hermione was very excited. She was more interested in this kind of magical creature.
If you catch a silverfish and you want to read a book in the future, you don't need to go to the library. You can let it spit out the content.
"The silverfish escaped to the forbidden book area. Just as I was about to go in, Mrs. Pince appeared." Rolf sighed. "I have to find a way to catch it in the forbidden book area."
"To enter the restricted book area, you need an approval note signed by the professor." Hermione had already found out clearly.
"It's useless. Teachers won't write approval notes for a little wizard who has only been in school for a week." Luo Fe shook his head.
Shirley hesitated for a moment and said, "Rolph, if you really want to go to the restricted area, I can help you."
"Professor McGonagall?"
"Yeah." Shirley nodded lightly: "I said that I would go into the restricted book area and borrow some transfiguration books. Professor McGonagall should agree."
"No." Luofu straightened his posture and said seriously: "That silverfish is very cunning, and the movement of catching it is probably not small. If Professor McGonagall finds out that you lied to her, it will affect her impression of you, which is not worth the loss."
Luofu tilted his head, thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go out at night. I'll sneak into the restricted area in the middle of the night."
"How can you swim at night? If you are caught, college points will be deducted!" Hermione objected: "No! Absolutely not!"
Rolf ignored this innocent little girl. Don't look at Hermione like this...opening her mouth about school rules and shutting up about the academy. That was because she had not yet experienced the charm of violating school rules.
After experiencing it for the first time, she will know the taste, and then she will be more active than anyone else throughout the day!
Seeing that Hermione was still unwilling to give up, Rolf smiled and said:
"Your objection is invalid. If I go out at night, not you, I will deduct Hufflepuff's house points."
"Besides, not hanging out at Hogwarts at night is just like skipping classes, failing classes, or falling in love prematurely. It is an incomplete campus life."
"Here's nonsense!" Hermione rolled her eyes, turned her head, and snorted: "Shirley and I wouldn't have gone out at night, skipped classes, failed classes, and...that stuff!
Right, Shirley?"
Shirley pursed her lips and smiled. After she smiled, her eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons.
At this moment, two withered arms reached out, pushed down Hermione and Shirley's heads, and then grabbed Rove's ears.
Finally, Mrs. Pince grabbed the three people's clothes. She didn't know where the strength came from, so she pulled the three people and drove them out of the library in the eyes of the little wizards in awe.
Standing at the door of the library,
Hermione looked aggrieved, and said with a grimace: "It's over, I will definitely be watched closely when I come to the library in the future..."
"Life is incomplete if you are not kicked out of the library." Luofu consoled him without any sincerity.
Hermione puffed up her cheeks in anger, rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked: "When are you going to go on a night trip?"
Shirley also looked up at him.
Rolf looked wary and said: "What? You also want to write a letter to Professor Dumbledore to report me? Hermione, don't go too far."
Hermione said angrily: "Report you big-headed idiot!"
"It'll take a few days until I get to know Hogwarts again." Rolf put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile, "Do you two want to go together?"
"Who's coming with you? Just wait until you get caught!!" Hermione snorted coldly, took Shirley's hand and left.
Looking from a distance, Hermione looked like a cheerful white goose, and Shirley's ponytail swayed slightly, like a country girl's swaying flower branches.
Luofu stopped and looked at the backs of the two girls. When they disappeared from sight, he went to the window, raised his cheeks with his hands and stared into the distance.
According to the preferences of the Minotaur system, of course that silverfish also has an owner.
But when Newt was still studying at Hogwarts, he saw a silverfish in the library. At that time, it had eight tail whiskers at the end of its abdomen.
Every hundred years, the silverfish will sprout a tail. In other words, the silverfish that Rove saw was probably the same one that Newt saw back then, and as of this year, it is more than 900 years old.
A silverfish has lived in the Hogwarts library for more than 900 years. Who could be its owner?
