Chapter 6 Libraries

"Ivan, how about we go back to the dormitory and play wizard chess after dinner?" On Wednesday afternoon, Ron, who had finished his final class, was in the break room munching on chicken legs while asking Ivan inarticulately.

Ivan slowly put the last piece of steak into his mouth, and after a moment's thought, shook his head and refused.

"No, I'll have to go to the library later, you and Harry can play."

"Harry's moves stink too much, not challenging at all—" Ron shook his head in disappointment, then fell to the ground as if he had suddenly realized Ivan's words.

"Oh my God! Library? I thought there was only one person in the whole grade going there! ”

"Hermione?" Ivan thought about it, just a few days after the start of school, the little wizard who ran to the library every day should be our know-it-all miss.

"yes, who else but her?" Ron said in an exaggerated tone.

Harry suddenly pulled Ron's shoulder, and Ron realized that Hermione, who was holding a pile of books, was also in the common room, so he lowered his voice and said in front of everyone how much Hermione liked to preach and how much no one was looking.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the distance, Hermione didn't move, probably didn't hear Ron's words.

Harry listened with an embarrassed expression, he didn't like this kind of bad talk behind his back, but the other young wizards were interested.

I have to say that Miss Granger has made a name for herself in the gossip circles of young wizards with her preachy nature in just a few days of school.

Ivan wasn't involved in the discussion of Hermione, but wasn't surprised by the situation.

After all, they are all eleven or twelve-year-old little wizards, and no one likes to be lectured in person, especially if they are still preaching a little wizard of the same age.

"Ivan, what are you doing in the library?" Harry asked curiously.

It's the brothers who aren't fun... Phew, are the brothers not interesting enough? Or is the Wizard Banner not fun? Ron didn't speak, but it was clear in his eyes that he meant it.

It's like a buddy who made an appointment with you to play games after school every day, and suddenly one day said that he was going to the library to study hard after school.

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched,

He didn't want to play any wizard flags, he just made some attempts to see if there was any other way to get grade points.

It's not because the wizard flag is so novel and fun...

"Don't you think the assignments assigned by professors are getting harder? What if I don't work hard now, what will I do at the end of the term? Ivan glanced at Harry before sighing.

Ivan knew that his mediocre talent coupled with the disadvantage of wand fit, and among the first-year wizards, the spellcasting level was basically at the level of the middle and lower levels.

In this case, the only way to improve the evaluation of the professors in the course is to work on the knowledge level.

Improve your knowledge reserves, answer questions on a regular basis, and maybe get an impression or something.

"Ron, are you coming?" After Ivan finished eating, he cleaned up his things and said to Ron.

Although Ron's magical talent is better than him, it is only at the upper middle level at best, compared to Harry, the gap is still obvious, and Ron himself has not worked hard, so he will be the weakest one in the Iron Triangle in the future.

So in good intentions, Ivan still reminded him.

Although Ivan didn't expect Ron to agree...

Sure enough, Ron shook his head quickly. "What are you kidding, we've only been here for a few days, and we're still far from the end of the term, what's the hurry?"

"Forget it—" Ivan didn't care, and walked straight to the library.

"Look, Ivan will be back in an hour at the most, or I'll eat the board," Ron muttered.

......

The library of Hogwarts has the largest and most complete collection of magical books in Britain and even Europe, from ordinary teaching books to esoteric forbidden spells and dark arts!

Ivan, who came to the library for the first time, was also shocked by the huge collection of books, rows of bookshelves were closely connected, and each shelf contained as many as a thousand magic books, far more spectacular than when Ivan watched movies in his previous life.

Maybe it's because the school has just started, there aren't many young wizards in the library, and they are leaning on the bookshelves or the corridor in twos and threes, but the rest area in the middle is vacated a lot.

【Ding, explore to the library...】

The sound of the system in his head drew Ivan's attention back, and when he looked closely, he realized that the quest to explore Hogwarts in the quest tree had increased by five percentage points at once.

What's more, counting the increased GPA points, it is just enough to make up the 100 GPA points needed to redeem the Xueba experience card.

Ivan's eyes couldn't help but look towards the forbidden book area, where the magic he was looking for such as Soul Retraction and Occlumency could be found...

"Kid, are you looking for some books?" Mrs. Irma Pins, who was the librarian, walked over from the side and asked softly.

"Yes, ma'am, where are the books on Transfiguration? It's better to be the more basic kind. Ivan withdrew his gaze from the forbidden book section and turned to Mrs. Pince.

"Follow me—" Mrs. Pince directed Ivan to a bookshelf, took a copy of the Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration from the shelf, handed it to Ivan, and then continued with another pause.

"You just looked at the forbidden book area, unless you can get permission from the professors, otherwise, you are not allowed to watch or borrow the relevant books."

"I'm just curious, but I'm not going to actually go in." Ivan took the book in his hand and shrugged casually.

Ivan wasn't going to read these dangerous forbidden books anytime soon, after all, with his current magical foundation, it was not suitable for him to learn these advanced magic.

Anyway, there's still a whole semester to spare....

After Mrs. Pince finished explaining to Ivan, she turned and left, after all, she still had to keep an eye on the senior wizards, and almost every once in a while the little wizards would try to break into the forbidden area.

Of course, before leaving, Mrs. Pince did not forget to remind Ivan that noise is forbidden in the library!

Walking to the position of the rest area and sitting down, Ivan did not rush to experiment with the effect of the Xueba experience card, but opened the book by himself, preparing to read it in an ordinary state for a period of time first, and then compare it to see how many times the learning efficiency can be improved.

Soon the rest room was filled with the sound of turning the pages of a book, interrupted occasionally by the slightest noise from elsewhere.
