The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 22 The forbidden area

The Hogwarts library is said to be one of the largest in Europe.

There are tens of thousands of books, hundreds of bookshelves, and countless narrow passages, the scale of which is somewhat prohibitive.

On Saturday morning, Jon Hart appeared in the library... In his spare time in the morning and noon these days, he would try to come to the library to search for the few books he needed.

Unlike the full-seat library in the university in the previous life, there were not many students in this huge library, only about twenty people, and they were all old faces.

After all, the learning atmosphere at Hogwarts is really bad.

Jon had just entered the library when he saw Justin Finch, a second-year Hufflepuff student, who was pointing at himself and saying something to a girl with curly brown hair who was followed by a redhead. , a boy like a follower.

The girl with curly brown hair listened to Justin's words, and then walked towards Jon.

"Cough cough... hello..." She whispered softly: "Are you Jon, Jon Hart?"

"Uh... yes..." Jon nodded, pretending to be surprised: "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger, Wendell is my father." The girl said while organizing the language, "I think you should have heard my name..."

"Oh, you're Doctor Granger's daughter?" Jon interrupted Hermione with a look of realization.

"That's right..." Hermione nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Jon held Hermione's hand enthusiastically: "I didn't see you in Diagon Alley, it's such a pity..."

"I'm sorry too." Hermione smiled reluctantly, and then asked: "How was your time at school this week... Mainly I don't know where Hufflepuff's lounge is, it's been after the sorting ceremony. Can't find you... Justin said yesterday that you come to the library every morning, so I'm here to wait for you..."

"It's okay!" Jon shook his head, and then looked excited: "Hogwarts is so amazing, I swear I have lived for more than ten years and have never seen such amazing magic..."

Chattering and sighing for several minutes, Hermione echoed and reminded him a few Hogwarts precautions.

Until the red-haired boy coughed behind her and reminded in a low voice, "Hermione, hurry up, Harry's Quidditch training is about to start."

"Sorry, I have something to go!" Hermione smiled apologetically at Jon: "If you have any problems at Hogwarts, you can come to me..."

"Uh-huh!"

Hermione and the red-haired boy hurried away.

When leaving, the red-haired boy also gave Jon a strange look:

"Who is he?"

"Uh... the son of one of my father's friends... During the summer vacation, my father told me to take care of him when I came to school."

"Oh, yes? I don't think he needs much care!"

When the two of them left, Jon breathed a sigh of relief; knowing Hermione Granger was inevitable with a father relationship. Thankfully, Hermione had no plans to introduce him to her two friends.

...

"Jon, you actually know Gryffindor's jack of all trades!" Justin Finchley hurried over and asked.

"Hello, Justin..." Jon greeted him and said vaguely, "It's acquaintance!"

"Miss Hermione Granger is really amazing..." Justin didn't bother too much about this issue, but said with emotion: "Why is it also Muggle-born, I feel like I've been chasing my grades all my life Not with her?"

"Forehead……"

While wandering in the library, the two chatted in a low voice:

"The first Quidditch match is coming up, we're playing Ravenclaw... Ravenclaw was last year's Quidditch Cup champion, but their former Seeker Lena Headey graduated. They got a new Seeker, a third grader...I don't think she's a match for Cedric..."

Jon led the way ahead, and unknowingly, brought Justin to the restricted area of ​​the library.

Hearing the approaching, familiar footsteps of cloth slippers behind him, Jon suddenly raised his voice and asked, "By the way, why do so many students dislike our administrator Argus Filch?"

The footsteps of the cloth slippers behind him suddenly stopped.

"Felch?" Justin shrugged. "It's mainly the Weasley brothers in Gryffindor who have been preaching how bad he is. To be honest, I haven't had much contact with him..."

"I think Mr. Filch is a very good man!" Jon said with a smile: "It's very responsible... Don't let us run around the school in the dark, after all, there may be some trouble in the dark, and we can't seek it out. Help; don't let us go to places like the Forbidden Forest, didn't Professor Flitwick say at the opening banquet that there are very dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest?"

"That's true!" Justin nodded thoughtfully.

"And I heard from the fat friar that the former administrator, Apollion Pringle, would use caning to punish students; when Mr. Filch became the administrator, the caning was abolished and changed to confinement ... to be honest. If so, I think he still cares deeply about us..."

It was Dumbledore's idea to abolish caning, but the real Filch was in favor of caning... But what does this have to do with Jon Hart, he was just a man who heard a few rumors and had a basic understanding of Hogwarts A freshman who knows nothing.

"Maybe……"

The footsteps of the cloth slippers sounded again behind him, and then Mrs. Irma Pince, the librarian, came over with a feather duster in her hand.

"Oh, children... This is the forbidden area, I don't think you should come here!" Mrs. Pince thought for a while, put down the feather duster in her hand, and said as pleasantly as possible.

"Sorry, ma'am..." Justin obviously knew how terrifying the angry Mrs. Pince was, and fled in a hurry.

Jon slowly dragged behind, looking at the expression on the face of the librarian, Irma Pince, which was completely different from usual. He knew that his plan had basically succeeded more than half.

Librarian Irma Pins and Hogwarts Castle Keeper Argus Filch are a couple who love each other... This is a deeply hidden secret at Hogwarts, but for Not for him.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Hart?" asked Mrs. Pince with a smile.

"Yes... ma'am..." Jon summoned his courage and said, "In fact, Professor Lockhart asked me to come to the forbidden area to find some books!"

"Professor Lockhart?" Mrs Pince blinked first, then looked reverent.

It's only the first week, and Professor Gilderoy Lockhart has yet to reveal himself at Hogwarts; so his "friend of middle-aged women" lives on, and Irma Pince is no exception, too. A true admirer of Lockhart.

"Then do you have his signature, Mr. Hart?" asked Mrs. Pince.

"Not yet... After all, Professor Lockhart has not yet determined which books are needed, he just gave me a general direction..." Jon said calmly: "So Mrs. Pince, I can Look for it in the forbidden area? I swear I will only read the title of the book, not open the contents of the book! When I find it, I will immediately take the list and go to Professor Lockhart to sign it."

If it was another student, Mrs. Pince would tell him to get out of the way immediately when she heard that there was no permission to sign.

But it just so happened that Jon Hart was a student she liked very well.

"Oh, I heard Miss Lovegood say that you are Professor Lockhart's favorite student in Defense Against the Dark Arts, I don't think you are lying!" Mrs Pince nodded and smiled: "I You are allowed to search here, but don't open the books in the forbidden area, many of which are dangerous to your first-year students."

"Okay, ma'am!"

...

Near noon, around eleven o'clock, Jon hurried to Professor Gilderoy Lockhart's office on the fourth floor with a note in his hand.

Luckily for him, Lockhart was in the office at the time.

There are countless Lockhart frames on the walls of the office, brightly lit by many candles; some even have his signature on them; there is also a large stack of photos on the table...

"Hello, Mr. Hart, what's the matter?" Professor Lockhart looked at him with a smile on his face.

Obviously, he remembered this student who "graded" very well in Defense Against the Dark Arts class and listened very seriously.

"Yes Professor; in fact I read your books this week and ran into some problems. For example, I didn't quite understand your chronic-onset diet in Swimming with Ghouls. Ghoul venom; and your method of resisting her mind control in "Vacation with a Doge"; and your final spell to destroy that werewolf in "Wandering with a Werewolf"..." Jon asked calmly.

Lockhart froze there, a little speechless. Several of Jon's questions seem to be out of line for him.

"Of course, I didn't come to ask you!" Jon said hurriedly as his eyes rolled around: "I think you can answer these simple questions easily, but you didn't write them down in the book, So it definitely wants us to explore these questions ourselves..."

"Really!" Lockhart blinked: "No, I mean you are right, Mr. Hart... I really want you to explore the answers to these questions for yourself, you really are my best s student!"

"So I thought—wanted to borrow some books from the library. Hope to get some background knowledge from it." Jon held up a note in his hand: "The problem is, these books are in the restricted area of ​​the library. so I need a teacher to sign the note."

Lockhart nodded: "Of course, I can't stop a seeker from exploring the truth."

He took the note from Jon's hand without hesitation, and quickly signed a big, flowery name.

At the same time did not read the contents of the note at all.

"Thank you, Professor!" Jon quickly took the note back.

"You're welcome, Jon..." Lockhart waved his hand vigorously: "Study hard, you are very likely to achieve something close to mine in the future!"

"I'm honored, Professor!"

...

After getting the permission to sign, Jon was too lazy to go to lunch, and ran to the library as soon as possible.

Mrs Pince was about to leave.

"What, what's the matter?" She gave Jon a surprised look.

"Yes, ma'am...I have found the books Professor Lockhart needs and have signed permission from him!"

As he spoke, Jon handed the note over.

"That's right...it's Gilderoy's signature, I saw it in Witch Weekly..." Mrs. Pince couldn't help blushing, and carefully put the note into her pocket.

"Come with me, Mr. Hart...I'll take you to find these books now!"
