A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 40 Fragments found in the forbidden book area

The day after Christmas.

The alarm clock rang, and Aaron opened his eyes drowsily.

After washing, he went to the auditorium to eat as usual, and then went to the library.

After showing Ms. Pince the approval note from Professor Snape, he went directly into the restricted book area.

This is not to say that books in the general area are useless. On the contrary, books in the general area are more useful to students. Almost 99% of the questions can be answered here.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt a little bored.

The forbidden book area is more like preparing for the so-called one percent. It contains content that cannot be taught in class, secrets of the magical world, the habits of dark creatures, and the deeper history buried, and even about the soul. Research can be found here in a few words.

According to later generations, one can be checked online casually, but the other can only be read by VIPs. It must be that VIPs have high gold content!

Passing through rows of bookshelves, Aaron stopped in front of a gray book, which told the history of the elves, including their wars with other races, the magical treasures in the clan, and so on.

Although there are only partial records, it can also broaden your horizons very well.

Because in the history of magic class, the professor only spoke a few words about the secrets of other races.

If you really ask in detail, it would be embarrassing, because the professor may not even know.

While Aaron was watching with gusto, the angle of the sunlight shining through the window was slowly changing, and the reflection on the floor stung his eyes.

"What is it?" Aaron closed the book and took a closer look. He saw several pieces of glass with some gray-white lamp oil stuck to them.

After thinking for a few seconds, Aaron's face became more playful. He then picked up the pieces of glass, put the book back on the bookshelf, and walked out of the restricted book area.

...

"Hello, Prefect of Gryffindor." Aaron stopped Percy on the corridor, "I may have to ask you something."

"Are you...Aaron?" Percy looked at the Slytherin symbol on Aaron's robes and frowned subconsciously, not understanding what a Slytherin wanted to do with him.

"Yes, it's me, Aaron Gaius."

"Oh! Fred and George told me about you, they thought very well of you.

Can I help you? "

"I have something important to talk to Harry Potter about, but he should be resting in his dormitories right now.

If I go there as a Slytherin who doesn't know the password, the Fat Lady won't let me in.

I don’t want to trouble Professor McGonagall with this little thing, so I can only ask you, as a prefect, for help with this matter. "

Percy pondered for two seconds and said seriously: "I can help you with this, but I need to know what you want from him.

After all, you are a Slytherin, and Slytherin and Gryffindor have always been incompatible.

Please understand that I will not take you to the common room without a good enough reason. "

"Um..." Aaron was a little dumbfounded, "Actually, it's not as serious as you said. I don't need to go in, as long as you can call Harry out."

Percy looked directly into Aaron's eyes, slightly hesitant.

Who knows if this Slytherin will lead Gryffindor students wrongly, but if something goes wrong, he, the prefect, will not be able to escape the blame.

Now that he had encountered it, he had to find a way to deal with it.

"It's better to go directly to the common room! Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome to go back and forth."

"Don't you need a good enough reason?"

Percy suddenly paused and said seriously: "During the holidays, you don't need to be so particular."

The two of them arrived at the end of the corridor on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle one after another. The Fat Lady was guarding the entrance to the Gryffindor common room in a painting.

"Dragon scum!"

Percy read the command, and the Fat Lady controlled the door to open, revealing a circular entrance.

"Come in! You should be the first person in Slytherin to visit here."

"That being said, I'm quite honored."

As soon as they entered the door, the warmth dispelled the chill from both of them.

There is a fire lit in the fireplace, with the phoenix pattern looming above it, and the lounge made of volcanic stones makes people feel quite warm.

Percy brought Aaron to a sofa, "You wait here for a moment and don't move. I'll call Harry over right now."

"sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, this is what I, a prefect, should do." Percy said and walked towards a staircase.

A few minutes later, Harry and Ron, who were wearing nightgowns, came down, but Percy sat on a table behind a few people with a book, and started reading very naturally.

"Ah!" Harry yawned, "Aaron, what are you looking for me for?"

"Well... this matter may be more important. The three of us can just talk about it alone. There is no need to let other people know." Aaron winked at the two of them and said 'Percy' on the mouth, which didn't mean anything. It goes without saying.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, feeling a little bitter in their hearts.

When Percy told them to get up just now, he specifically told them that he must listen.

"It doesn't matter, we are all our own people, just say it." Ron said.

Aaron laughed in anger and turned to look at Percy, "What, I'm very grateful to you for bringing me here.

But can you avoid it first? It’s really not appropriate for Gryffindor prefects to know about this matter. "

"Really? Did you violate the school rules?" Percy asked meaningfully.

"No!" Aaron nodded very seriously.

"Then what can't you let me know?" Percy asked, "You should know that the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin has never been good, and I am making an exception by letting you in.

I want to sit in now just to make sure that you freshmen won't cause trouble for me during the holidays. After all, I brought you in, and I have to be responsible for anything that happens. "

The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, no wonder this guy is a prefect!

In order to be able to listen in, even this small trick was used. Look at how authentic the words are in this scene.

He could have just left, but he really felt a little depressed, "Out of politeness, I will call you senior first.

Senior, believe me, it would be more appropriate for the few of us to discuss this matter privately.

Once you know it, its nature changes. "

Percy nodded, "I still maintain my original opinion."

"Okay!" Aaron turned to look at Harry and Ron helplessly, "What's your opinion?

Let me remind you that sometimes you need to know how to resist.

You can go out with me and I'll just give you a few words and everything will be fine. "

"Then..." Just as Harry was about to speak, Percy coughed twice.

"I think we'd better talk here! We don't have anything shameful to do."

"That's good, but I hope you won't regret it later." Aaron said, then took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and placed it on the table.

As the cloth was opened, several pieces of glass appeared in the perspective of several people.

Ron and Percy didn't know why, but Harry thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

"I went to the restricted book area this morning..."

"Wait, you mean the restricted book area?" Percy looked at Aaron in shock, "Is that something you, a first-year freshman, can go to?"

"I have the professor's approval note, otherwise Ms. Pince wouldn't have put me in." Aaron explained that he always felt like Percy expected him to make mistakes.

"I still feel a little inappropriate."

"Haha! It's so funny, you are a Gryffindor prefect and I am a Slytherin.

Whether it's suitable or not is not up to you to say. Aaron joked, then picked up one of the fragments, "While I was reading, I found these fragments in front of a certain bookshelf.

I didn't have these pieces when I left the library yesterday, but I did this morning.

No one was cleaning it, which meant that someone slipped into the restricted book area last night, and this person had not yet received approval notes from the professor.

And among the people I know, Harry and Ron are the only ones who want to go to the forbidden book area to look up information, but there has been no way. "

"You doubt both of them." Percy's face looked a little ugly. "You can't put the blame on Gryffindor just because of a few broken glass and some speculation. It's too ridiculous."

"Senior, you are absolutely right, I think so too.

But my pet, who has a better sense of smell, told me that the smell on these pieces was similar to that of a friend of mine. "Aaron said and put Abe on the table. He pretended to sniff the fragments, and then glanced at Harry and Ron pretendingly.

The look in the 'cat's' eyes made one of them feel cold and the other confused.

"You also saw it, so I came here on a whim to ask if it was the two of them?

Instead of making the matter bigger, which would make Mrs. Pingsi's face look bad. After all, letting someone sneak into the forbidden book area was her fault as the librarian. The corresponding student's college should also deduct a certain amount. Score!

But now that you, the Gryffindor prefect, know, things are different.

This is a violation of school rules and regulations. I wonder how you will deal with it? "
