Chapter 242 The Forbidden Book Area

Chapter 242 The Forbidden Book Area

The Restricted Section of Hogwarts.

This is arguably the most heavily guarded place in Hogwarts on the surface.

It's not about how many people guard the place.Rather, there are a lot of magic traps and the like in this place.If there is any behavior of stealing or destroying books, it will be immediately triggered.

And such protective measures only prevent people, not books.That said, books are free, and they can harm wizards who walk within them.But wizards cannot harm books.

I don't know which one did this, it really makes people feel nonsense.

"Are you going to the restricted area?"

Mrs. Pince looked at the note in her hand, and then looked at Luke, the suspicion on her face was undisguised.

Luke wasn't bothered either.Mrs. Pince, the librarian of Hogwarts, one of the two most eccentric characters on the Hogwarts staff except for a certain prophecy professor.

The other was Filch.

Both men seem to have a natural distrust of students.Of course, Mrs. Pince is an outstanding wizard.After all, not everyone can do the job of a librarian.So she doesn't have the same jealousy Filch has for the little wizard.

Luke guessed that her distrust of students was due to her love of books.

He can understand this very well.For things like books, once the borrower does not take good care of them, the lender will be annoyed or even regretted.

"Yes, I want to borrow some books. Professor McGonagall has written on them."

Luke said frankly to Mrs. Pince.

The note from Professor McGonagall said that she wanted to borrow books, but she asked Luke for help.And only the four deans and principals can borrow the books in the restricted section to read in their offices.Of course, Mrs. Pince had been a librarian for so many years.It is natural to know that some students and professors are exploiting loopholes.

However, when these rules were designed, they were designed to be used by the deans.The reason why this authority is limited to the four principals and principals is because most of the teachers in the school are decent.But there are also people like Hagrid who pay too much attention to feelings.Or like Professor Trelawney, the desire for certain things is enough to exceed her bottom line as a professor.

The dean who chooses the best among the professors must be trustworthy in character.Even Mrs. Pince couldn't find too many faults, and she was willing to trust them.

"Then go. Remember to register at the library first if you borrow any books."

Mrs. Pince returned the note to Luke, and said seriously: "Don't try to be clever. Books in the restricted section cannot be taken out of the library without a loan stamp."

Some books in the restricted section are too tempting for those students who have pursuits in certain areas.These students may not be able to resist the temptation to sneak that book out of the library.

But it is impossible to take it out.How could the Hogwarts library lose books so easily.

Instructing Luke is only a matter of process. Of course, Mrs. Pince is not sure if this little guy has any other ideas.Everyone has their own secrets.Will Professor McGonagall know what Luke is really looking for?

... Mrs. Pince didn't know, and it didn't have much to do with her.

After negotiating with Mrs. Pince, Luke walked towards the interior of the library.And there, Hermione, who often went to the library, noticed the tugging between Luke and Mrs. Pince early on.

"You want to enter the restricted section?"

Hermione was a little puzzled, after all, the two of them had been arguing for a long time.Mrs. Pince seemed busy.In fact, the character is rather cold.Normal borrowing will not talk nonsense with people at all.Then the only thing that can allow two people to communicate redundantly is the restricted area.

It was Mrs. Pince's forbidden area.Students who approach rashly must be educated.

Everyone knows that the Restricted Area is dangerous.Mrs. Pince did it for their own good.But that doesn't mean they accept such 'kindness'.There are many things that everyone knows are wrong, but people will still do them.

Luke nodded: "I'm here to find some clues related to Doris. By the way, I'll look for the spell I need."

"That's great, these batches are hard to get."

Hermione looked at the note in Luke's hand with some envy.As a person who loves to read, there is always a forbidden area in the library, which is really not a friendly thing for her.

But it was not so easy to open a note for entering and exiting the restricted area. Last year, she begged Professor McGonagall several times, but she was not approved. Even the best-tempered Professor Sprout was rejected.

Luke looked at Hermione's envious expression, smiled and said, "You have to try another target."

He also knew that Hermione had hit a wall a few times last year.So now I'm going to give Hermione an idea.Just as Professor McGonagall trusted Luke's strength, Luke also trusted Hermione's rationality.Even if she got the approval slip from the restricted book section, she would not look for books or knowledge that were beyond her ability to handle.

After speaking, Luke walked towards the restricted area.

Hermione, who stayed where she was, showed a thoughtful expression.She knew that Luke would definitely not let it go, so...

Thinking of this, Hermione's eyes lit up.

Yes, the school has a new goal this year!And this goal seems to have no bottom line.

Luke, who had already walked away, wondered if Hermione had thought of Lockhart.But it doesn't matter.For now, the knowledge that Hermione can use doesn't need to come to the restricted area at all.There are some more dangerous or difficult superclass spells, Luke can teach her, one-on-one teaching, the effect is not better than reading a book.

When Luke crossed the boundary between the restricted area and the normal area, he didn't feel much at first.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly felt as if something was staring at him.

Luke wasn't worried that anything would be too much to handle.Right now, when he turned his head, he could vaguely see the shadow of Mrs. Pince.If there is an accident here, the worst thing is to call for help.Life is important, face is worthless.

So Luke turned his head and looked at the sight projected towards him over there.

There is nothing behind him.

The summer vacation books stand quietly on the summer vacation one by one, and many of them even look a little dusty.

.... He was the only one in the restricted area, so the students couldn't get in easily, and the teachers couldn't come easily.

It stands to reason that the new teachers who have just joined the job are generally the ones who are most interested in the restricted area.But this year's new teachers don't have time to waste reading books.

Luke didn't think the feeling of being watched was an illusion.So he began to pay close attention to the books on each shelf.

It didn't take long for him to feel something strange.

Walking to the front of a bookshelf, Luke reached out and took a book from the shelf.

The Eye: Another Possibility of Magic Release. "

On the cover of this book, there is a picture of a pair of eyes. The picture is so lifelike that it looks almost the same as real eyes.

When Luke picked up the book, those eyes blinked arrogantly several times.

Apparently it also knew that even if it intentionally released malicious intentions to play pranks, the little wizard in front of him couldn't do anything about it.After all, books cannot be harmed, this is also a rule.

Luke looked at this book that was not too malicious to people as a whole. After opening it and reading it, he snorted disdainfully, put it back to its original position, and said, "What a foolish lunatic's dream talk .Use your eyes to release magic? Want to replace your wand with your eyes? Do you want to transform your eyes?"

"Ridiculous!"

Luke's disdainful critical voice made those eyes on the cover, 'swim' to the spine of the book, and glared at Luke.

And Luke smiled lightly, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.

This is also a little knowledge that Luke learned while wandering around his own library.

If you come across a book that has self-awareness and is malicious to you, then if you can't help the other party, you might as well insult the content of the book.

That is the foundation of the book.If you deny the content, then you are denying the meaning of this book.

A conscious book will instinctively be angry at such words.

Luke didn't pay much attention to it, but he could feel that the other vague prying eyes around him disappeared at this time.

"Should good people be pointed at guns?"

Luke shook his head helplessly, then walked deep into the restricted area.Although it looks no different from the normal area, if you really feel it, you can easily feel a little dark and malicious.

But it does give people a comfortable feeling.

The more comfortable it is, the more it can explain the maliciousness contained in it.

"It's really not a good place."

After Luke gave a 'tsk', he still walked into this area.

........................

On the other side, Ginny looked at Luna who looked a little embarrassed in front of her, frowning, her face was rather ugly.

"unacceptable!"

Luna didn't pay much attention to it, she just picked up "The Quibbler" on the ground, her expression still relaxed.

"It's all right, Ginny."

She was still smiling and reassuring Ginny.

"They just don't understand and don't want to believe it."

Ginny looked at the relaxed Luna, her eyes were full of distress.It was really hard for her to think about how Luna could bear such ridicule.

... Luna could understand Ginny's expression, and said with a smile: "It's really okay. They're just like their parents, they don't want to trust us. When my dad meets their parents, he will be almost ashamed." treatment."

"But my dad and I still have our own friends."

Moreover, Luna's friends, or those who still have "The Quibbler" on the ground, and laugh at Luna are levels that are simply out of reach.

Don't look at Luke's image of being close to the people all the time.In fact, there are only a few people who can really deal with Luke.

Luna's exclusion had something to do with her being able to sit at that table and eat.

While helping Luna tidy up, Ginny said, "We should tell Luke...or teach them a lesson ourselves!"

"We can spend some time to find out the pattern of their actions. Then ambush them. The few spells I have learned recently should be of great use!"

There was a hint of excitement in her tone of resentment.

Luna raised her head and looked at Ginny in the sun with a faint smile on her face, the expression on her face was no longer indifferent.

"Ginny? What's wrong with you?"

She asked in a slightly heavy tone.

"What's wrong with me? I'm...wrong...I..."

When Ginny faced Luna's question, her expression was very natural at first, but she seemed a little awkward after a while.It also looks a bit confused.

I don't know if it's an illusion.When Ginny's face showed confusion, Luna seemed to hear someone swearing, and there was a hint of malice.

"Luke is right. Something is really eyeing Ginny." Luna thought to herself.And such a situation, I'm afraid it's more obvious than Luke thought.

"Ginny, you don't look well. Do you want to see Madam Pomfrey?"

Luna picked up her stack of "The Quibbler" and asked Ginny with concern.

Ginny rubbed her head, shook her head and said, "No, it's okay Luna, maybe I've been staying up late to train a little too much recently, and I've used too much force."

That's what she really thinks.After all, she has been in touch very late for the past two days, and she has no class this morning, so she originally wanted to have a good sleep.But somehow I couldn't sleep.

Luna didn't relax her vigilance. After being reminded by Luke, she could easily feel that something was wrong with Ginny.

"Contact me in time if you need anything." Luna looked at Ginny and said, "Don't carry it by yourself."

Ginny glanced at Luna moved.She knew Luna's character and didn't like dealing with others very much.I don't really like to get involved with other people's troubles.In other words, what she pursues is a life of following one's inclinations.

But now, she can be said to put Ginny's comfort within the scope of 'whatever she wants'.

So Ginny stepped forward and gave Luna a hug.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Luna, who was holding a stack of magazines, let the magazines fall to the ground again, while she stretched out her arms and hugged Ginny.

"Don't be careless."

Luna said with a mouth.

"busy."

Luna understood.

She felt that what was wrong with Ginny just now was definitely not as simple as not sleeping well.And the scolding I heard and the malice I felt were not fake.

Ginny was targeted, or rather, she jumped into the pit herself.

If this was a stranger, then Luna might just be a reminder.But Ginny was her friend.Then this matter cannot be left alone.

"Luna! We have to pick up magazines again!"

"Then pick it up again, it doesn't take much effort anyway."

"That's not the case!"

Ginny looked at the willful Luna, shook her head helplessly and said.
