Save the Bachelor of Heaven

James and Sirius, two naughty boys, were caught by Filch in the office, but they still refused to stop. They deliberately set off fireworks to attract Filch's attention, and then opened the drawer of "confiscated materials".

But there were all kinds of things in it, most of which should be magic props sold by Zonko's Joke Shop and Jumping Magic Joke Shop.

For example, dung eggs, burping candy, frog egg soap, wolf tooth flying saucer, winged slingshot, laborious fireworks, nose-biting teacup, whooshing fireworks and so on.

These are strictly prohibited for students to bring into the school at Hogwarts, but they are helpless and cannot be stopped.

After all, the students of Hogwarts are between eleven and eighteen years old, and they are middle school boys in the rebellious period. The more severe the prohibition, the more they play.

Therefore, when James and Sirius saw this, their eyes lit up, and they quickly stole a few quickly, and then closed the drawer as soon as possible, which made Gregory on the side look dumbfounded.

He didn't expect them to be so bold. They were already caught in the office, but they still dared to play tricks. He was really shocked.

"They are too brave." He couldn't help but say to Xiang Nan.

"Ah, what?" Xiang Nan came to his senses at this time, because he saw half a drawer full of books in the "confiscated materials" drawer. Many of the books had words such as "poison", "black", "powerful", "cutting-edge" written on the spines...

The books that can be confiscated by the guards must be "not suitable for children" banned books, but I don't know why they were not sent to the library for collection.

Perhaps it was because Filch himself was a squib and had almost zero magical knowledge, so it was difficult to tell whether these books were useful or not. Or maybe it was his own selfishness. He couldn't learn magic, and he didn't want to contribute to the school library.

In short, it was a pity that these books were put in the drawer.

...

Just thinking about it, Filch had already put away the fireworks and then returned to the office.

"Damn fireworks, I don't know who set them off. If I catch him, I will punish him severely." He muttered angrily.

Then he continued to take notes, writing down Xiang Nan, James, Sirius, and Gregory, and planned to punish them after asking the principal tomorrow.

"At least a week of detention, otherwise you will have to clean the toilet for me, and you are not allowed to use magic..." He smiled triumphantly, making Gregory almost cry.

"It's really unfair, we didn't do anything." Gregory complained, "It's all Lucius Malfoy's fault. He knew we attended the party, but he refused to help us clarify it."

"Don't worry, he will be dealt with sooner or later." Xiang Nan comforted him, "Besides, you don't have to worry about Filch's punishment. Tomorrow we can go to Professor Slughorn to help us clarify it."

"That's right." Hearing Xiang Nan say this, Gregory suddenly became happy.

...

The next day, Argus Filch's punishment really didn't work.

Because the punishment he applied to the school was rejected by the headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"Argus, I know that Horace is holding a party, and the four of them were indeed invited." He explained to Filch, "So it's not that they went out without permission after curfew."

Hearing him say this, Filch was very unwilling, but he had no choice. After all, he couldn't go against the headmaster's wishes, so he could only reluctantly agree.

"Severus, you are right, you don't have to worry about being punished." After learning the news, Gregory smiled and said to Xiang Nan, "I was really scared yesterday, I thought I really had to clean the toilet."

"But we have to be extra careful in the future, after all, we are on Filch's blacklist." Xiang Nan smiled slightly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to steal the confiscated books in Filch's office.

Those books are not simple just by looking at the names, it would be great if we could get them. But it's easy to get those books, but it's hard not to let Filch notice.

Therefore, Xiang Nan first found a batch of old books of low value, such as "Standard Spells", "History of Magic", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", etc. Such old books are not uncommon in Hogwarts.

Because the children in the magic world are no different from those in the Muggle world, they are all the same. After a school year, few textbooks are well preserved, and most of them are abandoned as souvenirs.

It seems that in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", Harry and Ron used old books left by their predecessors, one of which belonged to Snape.

...

After Xiang Nan searched for this batch of old books, he paid attention to Filch's whereabouts.

He found that Filch patrolled the castle every day and punished every student he saw who violated the school rules. On the contrary, he spent very little time in the office.

Obviously, for him who is over 50 years old, punishing students is more important than resting and maintaining. Xiang Nan didn't know whether to praise him for his dedication or scold him for being a psychopath.

However, this gave Xiang Nan time to act.

On Wednesday afternoon, after the spells class, Xiang Nan deliberately spilled a bottle of ink at the entrance of the fifth-floor library.

The black ink instantly flowed all over the floor, causing the librarian, Mrs. Pince, to be surprised.

She took great care of the books in the library and was worried that they would be damaged by students. Now that the entrance was full of ink, it was easy for students to step on it and bring it into the library.

So she immediately contacted Filch to clean it up.

A moment later, Filch came to the fifth floor panting with a bucket and a mop, mopping the floor while complaining and cleaning the ink on the floor.

Xiang Nan took the opportunity to trot and came to Filch's office in the basement.

He saw that the office was locked, but it didn't bother Xiang Nan. He silently chanted the spell "Alaho Open."

With a click, the door lock was opened. Xiang Nan quickly pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door again. Then he came to the "dangerous items" drawer, opened the drawer, and moved out all the books inside.

There were more than a hundred books in total, all of which were confiscated by Filch and his predecessors over the years. Among them were "The Most Poisonous Potion", "Powerful Medical Magic", "Advanced Magic Research", "Analysis of the Principles of Dark Magic", etc.

Xiang Nan then used "Fragmentation" to remove the covers of these books, and then took out the old textbooks he prepared, glued the covers to these old textbooks, and then put these old textbooks back into the drawer.

In this way, these books looked unchanged, but in fact the contents inside were all changed.

Xiang Nan was not afraid that Filch would find out, because he was a squib and had no magic power at all. Even the first-grade textbooks were profound enough for him.

So he couldn't tell the difference between these books at all, and even after he confiscated them, he never looked at them again. Because Xiang Nan found that many books were covered with dust.
