Chapter 49 The Woman's Sigh
Hogwarts Library,
Rove wandered around the Restricted Section with a bottle containing fireflies.
The Restricted Section was housed in a large, square room with floors and ceilings of dark wood, and tall bookshelves filled with magical books that lined the walls.
Rove scanned the room under the dim fluorescent light, looking for the book catalog—it was a bound encyclopedia that marked all the collections in the Restricted Section.
The catalog can help Rove quickly understand the types of books in the restricted area. He is going to take a look to see if there are any books he needs.
Come to the restricted area, I don't know if silverfish can be caught, but I can't leave empty-handed.
It's just that he walked to the end of the forbidden book area, but he didn't find the list of forbidden books. Instead, he saw a huge transparent magic cabinet on the last bookshelf.
Rove looked inside through the magic cabinet and found a very old leather case, obviously this leather case was used to protect the huge ancient book.
There was writing on the outside of the box, but it was illegible.
While Rove was observing, a magical creature with thin silver-gray scales and nine whiskers at the end of its abdomen poked its head out of a book.
The silverfish sniffed hard, smelling the smell of books and a heavy sense of history. It closed its eyes a little intoxicated, then slowly opened them, and got out of the book.
The silverfish jumped up, like a seal plunging into the water, and fell into the cowhide book with a graceful tail flick. It rolled happily in the words, devouring the words and magic power.
Immediately, the whole body also emitted a bright golden light.
Rove kept his eyes on his magic book, flicked the bottle cap, the firefly's tail flickered, and then he patted the box.
It's up to you, Sniff!
One Xixiu jumped out of the box. It leaped high and rushed forward. When it was one meter above the ground, its paws suddenly stretched out, like a little wild cat landing lightly.
Silverfish saw that Xixiu was coming, and immediately got out of the book, jumped to one side, penetrated a pile of thick magic books without hindrance, and prepared to escape from the scene of the crime.
Sniffing its paws, it ran out quickly. It climbed on the bookshelf. When it stepped on a magic book, it swayed left and right a few times. After stabilizing its body, it continued to leap upwards.
Rove hurriedly reached out and caught the falling magic book. The book spread out, making a shrill, creepy scream.
The young man gave it a slap in the face, knocked it out with another heavy punch, closed the book, and "gentlely" inserted it back into the bookshelf.
Hermione and Shirley, who received the message, had already arrived with the bottles, and each released the Nixie that Rove gave them.
Silverfish shuttled through the library at such a fast speed that it was like a thin but cohesive golden thread, followed by three persevering Nixiu!
The snuffers are as vigorous as apes, tossing and turning between the bookshelves again and again.
Tired of being chased, the silverfish rushed towards the magic cabinet containing the ancient books, and when it was about to get in, a sniffing helix accelerated and caught it in mid-air.
Luo Fu rushed over, but that Xixiu put the silverfish in its belly pouch and refused to hand it over.
"I'll trade this." Rove pulled out a large piece of shiny brass.
Sniffers like to judge the price of a thing by the size of the shiny object. It compared the big silverfish in its hand, glanced at the big brass palm, and immediately agreed.
Luo Fu grabbed the silverfish and was about to observe it when a gust of wind blew by, and all the books in the restricted area suddenly turned pages, making a rattling sound.
Rows of bookshelves standing upright protrude from the wall like ribs, coupled with the sound of pages turning, it gives people a strange feeling, as if the whole library is alive.
Rove's hair stood on end for a moment.
Because a woman's sigh sounded in his ears, very low and light, as if the wind was blowing through his body.
"Are you a Hogwarts student?"
"Who?" Rove asked loudly.
It's just that the sound was intermittent and soon disappeared.
Hermione and Shirley came over, and Shirley asked, "What's wrong?"
"Did you two hear a woman talking softly?"
Shirley and Hermione both shook their heads.
Rove frowned, looking at the dark library, but the voice had completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
...
...
in the room,
Malfoy was stunned. Malfoy came back to his senses, immediately pinched his throat, and shouted:
"I'm going to kill you, Potter! What have you done, you bastard!!"
Harry lay on the ground and retched, he yelled, "I'm going to kill you!"
The two hugged each other again and pinched.
Ron wanted to play mixed doubles with Harry, but it felt like it was raining in the room, with wet droplets falling on him.
He raised his head and let out a shrill scream.
Harry and Malfoy stopped when they heard the sound, and then looked up, only to see a big, monstrous dog looking at them.
The dog's body was as big as the entire room. It had three heads, three pairs of vicious eyes that rolled around, and it was still drooling, and it fell on the three of them.
"Ahhhh!"
...
...
Filch hugged Mrs. Norris and walked quickly towards the restricted corridor on the fourth floor.
He could already hear the noise from the library on the second floor, but he was going to catch Potter and Weasley first, and then go back to deal with another group of little wizards wandering at night.
So much prey tonight!
"Where did they go, Peeves?" Filch walked into the corridor, but saw no one, he frowned, "Hurry up, tell me."
"Say 'please.'" Peeves floated in mid-air.
"Don't mess with me, Peeves, where did they go?"
"If you don't say 'please,' I won't say anything to you," said Peeves in his annoying humming voice.
"Okay...please tell me."
"What! Haha! I told you I wouldn't say 'what' to you if you didn't say 'please'! Haha! Hahahaha!"
Filch cursed Peeves angrily, and was about to turn to leave when Malfoy let out a huff, opened the door and rushed out, followed by Harry and Ron.
The three-headed dog bumped over, and a head squeezed out from the door. It made a growling sound and stared at the three little wizards who were running away.
"There's a monster!" Malfoy yelled, immediately hiding behind Filch.
Harry and Ron escaped and sat on the ground with limp hands and feet.
Filch looked at Lu Wei whose head was stuck, and said with a smile: "This is a treasure brought by Professor Dumbledore. I have warned you not to come to the restricted area, you are disobedient..."
He took out a pair of handcuffs, handcuffed Harry and Ron's hands, and said darkly:
"First go to the third prize showroom to destroy, and then break into the restricted area, go! Come with me to see Professor Snape!!
He will be happy to see you both. "
