The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

After Tom stepped into the library, the librarian Mrs. Pince indeed appeared from the shadows. However, when she saw that the visitor was the new professor of Hogwarts, she gave up the idea of ​​interrogating him and planned to turn around and leave.

But at this time, Tom stopped her.

"Mrs. Pince, please wait a moment."

"Professor Lockhart, what can I do for you?" Mrs. Pince turned and stared at Tom.

"As you all know, I am a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I hope to find a book that introduces black magic to prepare lessons... Well, let's start with how to communicate with dark creatures." Tom deliberately made the conditions very general. .

Sure enough, Mrs. Pings frowned: Isn't this request the same as not saying anything?

"Can you be more specific? Most of the books in the forbidden book area are related to dark magic, and there are countless dark creatures."

Lockhart, played by Tom, showed a troubled expression: "I don't have a very specific idea about this yet. Let me think about it... Female ghost, yes! I invited a few books about female ghosts, as well as Parseltongues, Yes, plus Obscurus!"

Mrs. Pingsi knew clearly: This guy has no specific ideas at all, he just comes up with them one by one! Of the three options he gave, one was based on the content in his book, and the other two were obviously whichever one was famous.

"Books related to female ghosts are on bookshelf B in row 7, and silently in bookshelf D in row 16. Parseltongue... I think about it, there are not many written records, and there are some left on the big shelf in the last row. You can look it up yourself." After saying this, Mrs. Pingsi left as quickly as possible, refusing to stay even for a second. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, Lockhart would come up with some strange ideas.

That's the effect Tom wanted. He first went to the two bookshelves and took out a few books. When he came into contact with books, he could clearly feel the mysterious connection between himself and Hogwarts flowing to those books through his fingertips.

Tom casually opened a forbidden book - nothing happened, the book didn't make any shrill screams, just like ordinary books.

"This is the privilege of the professor..." Tom was a little excited: the entire library opened its arms to him. Stealing an autograph from Lockhart? No, that’s too much trouble, I’ll be a professor myself!

Lockhart, just reflect in your box honestly. When you realize your mistakes, you can come out and atone for your sins.

But Tom still remembered the most important thing, so he didn't stay any longer, but walked through the rows of bookshelves and came to the miscellaneous notes area at the end.

The miscellaneous notes area contains notes collected from various sources at Hogwarts and autobiographies of predecessors. Mrs. Pince sent Tom here just perfunctorily. This trick was common in the British cabinet.

Secretaries and permanent secretaries will arrange a lot of speeches, meetings, meetings and other irrelevant issues for ministers and prime ministers, thus filling up their time and leaving them no time to think or do other things. They will not be whimsical. Run over and cause trouble for the secretaries. When ministers don't do things, secretaries' little secrets won't be discovered - as long as others don't know what you're doing, they won't find out what you've done wrong.

That was Madam Pince's idea: to distract Lockhart with thousands of volumes of miscellaneous notes so that he would not bother her.

Tom looked at the letters on the wall and felt his head grow bigger.

He first tried to start with the titles on these notebooks, but found that there were basically no titles left on these dusty notebooks, but more words such as so-and-so's diary and so-and-so's autobiography.

So Tom changed the angle and started with the words "Gaunt" and "Slytherin".

Things didn't go as planned. Most of the letters left by the Gaunt family members were full of arrogant words. They were full of pure blood theories, descriptions of luxurious scenes and some boastful words - but it made Tom read between the lines. Traces of the secret room were discovered.

A student named Corvinus Gunter recorded in his diary that the "legacy" left by his ancestors was almost exposed due to school renovations. He found the "legacy" first and successfully hid it. .

"It's hidden in the bathroom. Only the real heirs of Slytherin can enter..." Tom understood when he saw this. This diary recorded clues about the secret room. It might be a treasure to others, but to him Saying it makes no sense.

He continued to look hard for more than half an hour, but found nothing. Of course, it’s not a complete waste of time. Tom also saw a lot of interesting records. For example, someone swore that the great wizard Merlin left five treasure rooms in Hogwarts. Such small gossips It's still very interesting to watch.

But more of the painting style is like this:

"Oh, Mrs. Icasa is such a beauty, Sir Icasa is indeed my good brother!"

"I found out today that my wife had an affair with that bitch Icasana! It's Merlin's underwear!"

…

"I will never get engaged to that French woman on July 7th, no way! I haven't even met her!

July 14th, I met Miss Eve Garden today. She is so beautiful! "

On July 15th, the croissant made by Miss Eve Garden - the French seem to call this croissant, it tastes really good! The milky aroma above is the same as that of Miss Eve Garden. Our marriage will definitely be very happy! "

In March of the following year, hahaha, I became a father! "

…

"I calmly issued the order, allowing Lord Andre's spear camp to advance fifty steps, and finally won the victory."

…

What is this? It really corresponds to the saying: Who can a serious person keep a diary? Tom really couldn't stand it anymore, and he clearly realized that it was just a waste of time to continue watching like this.

He gave up. Maybe there is a secret book to teach you how to speak Parseltongue, but it is obviously not something that can be found at once. Looking for it now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Tom decided to change his mind.

Before Tom left, he took a banned book called "Powerful Potion" from the bookshelf. This thick, moldy tome contained the recipe for Polyjuice Potion. For Tom, if he wants to carry out his next plan, he needs the help of Polyjuice Potion.

In the boys' bathroom, Tom changed back to his original form and returned to the lounge.

Tom took out his bookmark and made the last modifications, successfully optimizing the bugs he had found before. After that, Tom took out a small gift box he had prepared before and put the bookmark in it. Then he tapped the surface of the box with the wand, and the silk ribbon on the box flew up on its own and tied into a beautiful bow.

He put the gift box away.
