After breakfast, Professor McGonagall called Percy Weasley and several other Gryffindor prefects to the office and told them the results of the previous exam.

Several prefects are still very concerned about losing to Slytherin.

"I have also read the test paper. Our main problem is that we have made too many wrong choices. You should pay attention next time. If you are not sure, don't choose it." Professor McGonagall took out what she had just asked for from Professor Lockhart. test paper. The prefects in front of her looked serious, and Percy looked like he was about to die.

"Okay, next time, don't take the test like this again. I didn't dare to look Snape in the eyes this morning! Try to do everything right, and we will definitely be able to beat Slytherin Academy."

Percy thought about it and said, "It might be helpful if we could summarize the questions at the end of each day."

Professor McGonagall thought about it and thought Percy's idea was very reliable.

"Then do it, you go back and talk to them. But don't take up too much time, you have other subjects to study, but I have a message here, Professor Snape seems to want to come again next week. You have to prepare for the surprise exam." Then Professor McGonagall signaled to several prefects to leave.

Several people looked at each other in dismay. They didn't expect such an explosive inside story. They nodded earnestly, then left the office and went back to the lounge to announce the two bad news.

The weekends of the four colleges were not peaceful, but this has nothing to do with the initiator Tom.

On Saturday, he came to the library early, slipped in as soon as the door opened, and went straight to the forbidden area.

He walked into the forbidden area with his front foot, and a figure on his back followed.

Tom noticed the sound behind him and turned his head to look, "H-Miss Granger, you are so diligent in coming to the library early Saturday morning to read. Hard-working children are worthy of praise. Winclaw will add five points." Tom also has the right to add and deduct points when there is no class, but the daily share is a little less.

After adding points, he continued: "There is a saying in the Muggle world that one per cent inspiration plus ninety-nine per cent sweat constitutes a genius. Miss Granger, you are walking in the direction of genius. on the way."

Hermione's face turned red all of a sudden. Of course she knew who the person with the Lockhart appearance was in front of her, and the string of praise made her heart pound.

"There's still the second half of that sentence, but that one percent of inspiration is often more important than ninety-nine percent of sweat." She lowered her head and whispered, "and Edison has a bad reputation. Yes, don't quote him."

"Oh?" Tom took a keen interest in Edison's gossip. So, he asked Hermione about it, and only then did he know that Edison was such a person!

When it comes to Edison, the first thing that comes to mind is the light bulb. This is one of his most famous inventions. On October 21, 1879, Edison's laboratory successfully produced the world's first light bulb, which lasted for about 13 hours. But as early as 1854, American Goebbels completed the world's earliest light bulb experiment: he put carbonized bamboo filaments in a vacuum glass bottle and energized it, so that it could emit light for 400 hours!

It is a pity that he did not apply for a patent.

In 1874, two Canadian electricians applied for a patent on glass bubbles and ammonia to make electrified carbon filaments glow. Unfortunately, they did not have the funds to continue their research and could only resell the patent to Edison.

So no matter how you look at it, Edison was not the inventor of the light bulb. He was more of a businessman who commercialized electric lights.

Countless people say that Edison is the "king of inventions" with more than a thousand inventions, but in his laboratory, there are countless engineers, mechanics and physicists whose contributions are forgotten by the world.

These are still pediatrics, and the fight between him and Tesla is wonderful! It is enough to write a cool article with Tesla as the protagonist.

In addition, Edison also promoted the birth of Hollywood: he applied for the patent of the phonograph and the movie camera. After inventing these two things, Edison also hired many lawyers to sue filmmakers frantically, trying to make only Edison work room for filming.

At that time, in order to avoid Edison, countless film companies went to Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States to make movies, which eventually became the current Hollywood.

Edison is a bit like Lockhart in the non-magical world, except that he is stronger than Lockhart and has more specialization items - Lockhart can only know a few more spells, and his reputation will not be too high. So unbearable.

The image of Edison in Tom's mind was turned upside down by Hermione, and he didn't speak for a long, long time.

"Okay, Professor Lockhart, don't be in a daze." Hermione had found a table to do it. She had piled all kinds of books on the table, and also brought out a few rolls of parchment and a bottle of ink.

Tom took a piece of parchment and signed his name swiftly on it.

"Take this. If you see the book you want to read in the forbidden area, just borrow it."

Hermione raised her head sharply, her eyes full of light. "Isn't that bad?" She put away the signed parchment.

"What's wrong? I'm a real professor at Hogwarts!" Tom waved his hand: stupid question! If it weren't for enjoying the forbidden books area of ​​Hogwarts, he would be too busy to play the professor Lockhart! If you have time for class, wouldn't it be good to read more books?

Of course, exposing the true face of the liar, allowing justice to be done, and allowing the poor people to regain their memories are also extremely important reasons.

Tom walked into the forbidden book area alone. He had no clue about the "fairy castle" mentioned in the production method of the time changer before. He wanted to see if he could find the answer in the forbidden book area.

"The Ancient Forbidden Tales, The Buried Celts... I think these two books seem to be worth seeing." Tom took these two books from the bookshelf. These two books are already old at first glance. One has a tattered cover, and the other has a blood-red cover. Just looking at it makes me feel extremely evil.

His purpose is also very clear: the content recorded in the book should be something from the ancient times. After all, Slytherin himself lived more than a thousand years ago, and the things mentioned in the scrolls he collected must be at least a thousand years ago. thing is right.

As for the history of a thousand years ago, most of the books in the ordinary area are vague, and Tom can only find clues from the books in the forbidden area. He intends to first look at various legends to see if there is any shadow of the "fairy castle" in it. In the previous week, he had been searching for information like this, and had already read several books.

Tom returned to Hermione's table with the two books and sat down opposite her. Then, the two quietly read the book together.

Tom first read "Old Taboo Legends". There is a reason for this book to be placed in the forbidden area. The illustrations in it are enough to make people feel uncomfortable. Tom only read a few pages and saw a stripped one. Skinned humans and a witch with countless arms growing from her shoulders.

It made him feel sick for a while, so he switched to "The Buried Celts", and then Tom borrowed the keyword bookmark from Hermione and inserted it into "Old Forbidden Tales", waiting for the bookmark scan to finish , he can try to find "Xianbao".

The content in The Buried Celts is much more normal, at least without the nauseating illustrations. This book is mainly about the history of the Celts.

As one of the most courageous and virtuous peoples in European history, the Celts have left little records. This is related to the fact that they did not popularize writing. All the writing was mastered by a small number of Druids. What's more, the Druids refused to use writing to record history in order to strengthen their dominance. By word of mouth, this makes their cultural vitality quite fragile. When the force of the tribes was not enough to deter foreigners, their civilization also dissipated like frost in the sun.

Ironically, it was their sworn enemies, the Romans, and Christianity that left a trace in the long history of this nation.

Scanning of bookmarks ends quickly.

Tom typed in "Fairy Castle," a word the bookmarks didn't find in the book "Old Forbidden Tales." Tom scanned The Buried Celts again, and the bookmarks responded.

Tom was refreshed, and Hermione sat beside him and watched.

"Fairy Castle", also known as "Fairy Tomb", it is said that after the holy tribe Asa de Danan was defeated by the Milesians, they opened up "another world" as their domain, and the Milesians ruled the secular world in Ireland , the Danan people control the place where the gods live underground and at the end of the ocean.

"Another World" is a paradise in Celtic mythology, it is the happiest land in the world, where the trees are luxuriant, the grass is delicious, and the branches are full of fruit~www.wuxiamtl.com~The nectar and jade liquid are taken from it. Inexhaustible. The inhabitants of that place are forever young and never grow old. There are feasts and carnivals held there all day long, and the residents of the "other world" drink and enjoy themselves all day long. This is the mysterious and magical land of ancient Celtic mythology.

"Xianbao" is the entrance to "another world".

Seeing this, Tom and Hermione were stunned. If they saw this kind of record in the non-magical world, they would probably have laughed off it. Myths and legends, which civilization has few?

But the records appearing in the Hogwarts Forbidden Books collection are much more authentic.

"This book was collected shortly after the founding of Hogwarts," said Hermione, looking at the description on the cover. "It is a book compiled from a manuscript left by a wizard in the Middle Ages. The wizard's ostensible occupation was a Reverend, he took the texts left in several monasteries in England--don't think about them, which must be lost now--for this book."
