A little badger from Hogwarts

The curriculum arrangement at Hogwarts is really too loose. There is only one elective class on the first day of Hufflepuff’s third year.

After taking this elective course, they have no more classes to do.

Most people wanted to go back and take a nap, but Cedric and the others who liked playing were going to the field to train and prepare for this year's Quidditch competition.

"Hart, come and get busy with me!" Cedric waved his hand and extended an invitation.

"You go on your own, I'm still going to the library to complete today's magic text homework." Hart refused them.

Cedric and the others knew that Hart didn't like Quidditch, so they didn't clamor for him to go with them and left on their own.

Hart finished his lunch, left the auditorium, and went directly to the library on the fifth floor of the castle.

There were no other students in the library, which was normal. Who would come to a place like this at noon?

Although it is quiet and comfortable here, it is a very suitable place to sleep. But if anyone dares to do this, Mrs. Pince, the library administrator, will not let him go.

"Ms. Pince, did you have fun in France during your summer vacation?" Hart smiled and greeted Mrs. Pince behind the counter.

Although he had been in school for two years and had done a lot of big things, all the professors except Snape had a good relationship with him.

"Not bad." Mrs. Pince was in a good mood, "What book do you want to read today?"

Hart replied: "I have added a new elective course on ancient magic texts, so I want to find some reference books."

"Ancient magic texts? That is not an easy course. Maybe you will fail the class?" Mrs. Pingsi was a little surprised.

Because it is too obscure, very few people take this course every year.

"There is no way. If you want to learn more advanced magic spells, you must learn ancient magic texts!" Hart shook his head in distress.

"But you are only in the third grade? Today's children are really getting more and more confusing."

Mrs. Pingsi waved her hands and lamented that she could not understand the young man. Then she pointed inside and said: "The books related to magic texts are all close to the forbidden book area. Remember, don't enter the forbidden book area casually."

"I see!"

Hart said thank you and walked along the bookshelf, finally stopping in front of the blocking rope in front of the restricted book area.

He stood there, feeling the gloomy atmosphere in the forbidden book area for a while, and then turned his head.

Now is not the time to study black magic. After all, Hart doesn't want Lao Deng to think of him as the second Tom Riddle.

Besides, real black magic will all have an impact on the soul of the wizard. Without a strong will and in-depth research, the wizard can easily lose himself and become more paranoid.

He has no intention of becoming crazy.

Hart turned to look at the surrounding bookshelves and took down a copy of "Ancient Runes" from the top.

He opened the book and read the notes on the thirteen runes at the front.

Then, Hart lost interest in the book. The content of this book was not as detailed as Professor Phoenix's, not to mention that there were obvious errors.

"What is this!"

Hart flipped through a few more books about ancient magic texts, feeling even more disappointed.

If the content taught in Professor Phoenix's class is used as a standard, these books all contain errors to varying degrees.

But even if you put aside what the professor said, looking at it individually, these books are very conflicting with each other and cannot be accepted at all.

"Although I also know that wizards never have a fixed standard for studying magic, but everyone has different opinions. This is too ridiculous!"

Hart looked at the big books that were as big as bricks in front of him and muttered softly.

"That's because these scholars use different reference points when annotating the runes."

There was a sudden voice from behind, and Hart was startled. He turned around and found that it was Professor Phoenix.

"Professor, why are you in the library? There are no classes in the afternoon?" Hart scratched his head and asked strangely.

"The work in this class is quite leisurely. I really don't have any classes in the afternoon." Professor Phoenix sat down.

Hart took the opportunity to ask: "Professor, what did you mean just now?"

The professor did not dislike Hart and explained to him: "Rune script is the earliest magic script spread in Northern Europe, and its true meaning has long since disappeared with the demise of the Nordic priest group.

Today's wizards can only deduce its original meaning from the culture influenced by the runes. "

"I see."

After the professor explained this, Hart understood why those papers were so contradictory to each other.

"Then which one's statement should I believe? I can't just learn them all and then draw my own conclusions!"

Hart was dumbfounded. No matter how smart he was, he had only learned magic for less than two years. How could he possibly do such a thing by himself.

"Don't worry." Professor Phoenix said with a smile, "I'm the professor here! You just need to listen carefully to the lectures and complete the homework. That's enough."

"I understand!"

Hart did not doubt the level of Professor Phoenix. Except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the other professors Dumbledore found were all very reliable.

"Then I need a reference book for today's homework. Which book should I read?" Hart patted the thick book on the table.

Professor Phoenix pulled out a book: "This book is the result of a French wizard based on Roman magic. Although there are many errors and omissions in it, it is better than the four different books that the British wizard snatched from the Celtic Druids." too much."

"Ah ha ha!"

Hart caught the book, but what he just said made him feel that the old professor didn't seem to like Britain very much.

But instead of asking this embarrassing question, he put the pile of books he took out back on the bookshelf.

Then he took the book recommended by Professor Phoenix and went to Mrs. Pince's place to register the borrowing procedure.

Professor Phoenix left quietly while Hart was organizing the bookshelves.

"The new professor who was with you just now?" Mrs. Pince asked strangely: "Why do you feel like he is a bit elusive?"

"I don't know for sure. Maybe a capable person like him has some quirks."

Hart put away the book and left the library, returning to Hufflepuff's common room to continue studying his ancient runes.
