Chapter 63 William is reading

When Professor McGonagall's class was messed up , William is soaking in the school library.

Not long after class, he came over with his book and test paper bag.

Although everything has been going well for him at Hogwarts so far, including Fifth Year, which he finds the most difficult, he has successfully established his majesty in just one class, but he is very aware of his weight.

Aside from the accumulation of wizard knowledge brought about by the messy teacher and apprentice lectures, his understanding of the entire magic world only comes from the books he has read since he was released from prison.

Except for a few spells that are commonly used in life, he did not work on any magic that looked interesting, but put all his energy on the magic of attack and self-defense— - In fact, even the learning of these combat magics is supported by his magic power that is slightly higher than ordinary people and the combat skills he has figured out that are not useful or not.

But even so, William has so far failed to master a few silent spells, not to mention the more demanding wandless use spell that only appears when bragging about Azkaban prisoners.

While William felt he was qualified to be a professor based on what Azkaban had heard and William's own years of experience in exam-oriented education, that didn't mean he wasn't improving his mind.

Even when he was sorting out the exam papers, he was greedily absorbing the contents of those exam questions that he had never touched before, and kept them firmly in his mind.

But those are not direct learning. Compared to the library that Hogwarts has inherited for thousands of years, all the books William touches are just like a stream, since it is difficult to establish among Fifth Year students. With the professor's majesty, William decided to reward himself with a dip in the library for two classes.

"Good morning, Madam Pince."

"Good morning, Professor William, are you borrowing books?"

The emaciated witch saw Looking at the paper bag that William was carrying, after deliberating for a long time, he finally couldn't help but add:

"Professor, food is not allowed in the library."

"No, the student's It's just the test paper—" William laughed, and took the initiative to open the paper bag to signal, since the other party asked about such a prescribed matter, he didn't feel offended at all.

"It's the test paper, sorry professor," Madam Pince said quickly, "what kind of bibliography are you looking for? The Restricted Section is in the library, and students are not allowed to stay nearby. , so the table over there is very quiet, if you have any books you are looking for, you can come and ask me directly, I can probably find most of the books in the library."

In the last sentence At that time, the thin witch seemed to have grown a few inches taller, and it could be seen that she was quite confident in her words.

"I'm looking for some theoretical books about Silent Spells. It's hard to find in the market. I want to try my luck at the library."

"Of course there are, I think Think... oh, yes, there is a book about dark magic in the Restricted Section, and the Third Layer in the seventh ranked fourth bookshelf has several theoretical books related to silent spells, the fourth layer is more practical, and the fifth in the same row There are several books talking about curses on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf."

To William's surprise, the librarian probably actually used some magic to engrave the position of each book on his own. In her memory, she easily reported the location of the book William was looking for.

"Should I take you there, Professor?"

"No, thank you. The Hogwarts library is really bigger than I thought."

"Sure, it's Hogwarts." Madam Pince replied as it should be by rights.

William accepted this sentence with reason, waved goodbye, and came to the bookshelves according to Madam Pince's introduction.

Fortunately, none of the books he was looking for were borrowed, which put William in a good mood.

When he came to the desk next to the Restricted Section with a stack of more than a dozen books, he was immediately attracted by this place that was spacious enough to fully enjoy the sun.

'This place is great, if it wasn't for the Restricted Section, it would have been full of students, right? '

William was thinking about the sign 'Students are not allowed to enter (Note; 1)' standing beside the bookshelf, and could not help but feel a sense of pride in authority dogs.

Shaking his head to shake off this feeling, he began to calm down and read the books in front of him seriously.

In less than half an hour, William slapped the table in surprise - an action that instantly made him realize where he was.

Fortunately, there are no students nearby, and Madam Pince did not mean to settle accounts with him for this little mistake, which prevented him from facing the prospect of being kicked out of the library within 1 point of being happy. tragedy.

William tucked a bookmark into the book and turned to the first few pages of the book.

Hogwarts' book stamp is visible, followed by the donor's name and time, no edition number, no printing batch - no doubt, this is a non-distribution Impossible purchased on the market Books should be private collections that someone wrote by themselves.

'Although it's a curse, it's a good thing to get into Hogwarts—'

William sighed while shaking his head and turning the book to the original number of pages.

When he was in Azkaban, he knew that those guys had their own curses or dark magics, they were all hidden and never mentioned to others, let Azkaban watch magic world , and probably the same, Hogwarts alone can find so many orphaned and restricted books, it is conceivable how high the quality of the pure-blood family's book collection is.

And because of his reputation as a professor, he can not only browse the collection of books that only school teachers and students can see, but also get all the books in the Restricted Section without anyone's approval. , and can even borrow it freely, which is more valuable than salary for William.

It's just a single book, and it easily solved a use spell problem about silent spells that had plagued him for a full month, not to mention the rest of the bibliography below and the ones that were taken out.

Out of bounds books.

William took out the parchment and quill in a good mood after the problem was solved. While reading, he copied the notes he found useful on the paper-if it wasn't for the library's bibliography, he would have liked it Write down all your thoughts in a book.

"It's a treasure!"

After solving several puzzles in a row, William, who was carried away, could not help but sigh.

And at this time, Professor McGonagall, who managed to appease the students, looked at his lesson plan and doubted himself for the first time——

'The Vanishing Spell is learned as Fifth Year Is the first spells too hard and too hard on the students? '

Note: In theory, the bibliography of Restricted Section should only be taught by a professor. Although Hermione claimed to have read the Restricted Section bibliography in the sixth year, it was too easy for her to get the critique, Slughorn The professor liked her so much.

If senior students can check Restricted Section independently, the setting of Restricted Section is basically abolished. There are too many ways for junior students to get restricted book from high level students, so there is no need to work so hard. To cheat the signature.
