HP Polar Night

"Dear Draco,

Sorry to write to you only now.Life at Hogwarts is indeed very exciting. I think you can fight with Mr. Malfoy again, not to go to the distant Durmstrang, where it is said that it snows all the year round and the climate is extremely cold.In contrast, England's climate is more suitable for you.

Hogwarts is an ancient castle with a thousand-year history. There are many magical mysteries here. The castle has countless secret passages and secret rooms. Sometimes you open a door and you enter another mysterious space.

The professors at the school are very good, you know my notebook, all the conjectures on it seem to be answered at Hogwarts.

And the Quidditch team you care about. Hogwarts holds the Quidditch House Cup every year. The four colleges send their teams to fight in pairs.At present, Slytherin has maintained the Quidditch champion and the House Cup champion for six consecutive years. We are strong.It's a pity that the first grade is not allowed to participate, but you can participate in the selection when you are promoted to the second grade. I believe you can become a member of the regular selection, after all, you are extremely talented in flying.

Our dean is a powerful wizard and an internationally renowned master of potions.He is very protective of Slytherin students, under his leadership, Slytherin's grades have been top-notch.

You will be entering school next year, and Hogwarts tradition is not to reveal the Hogwarts sorting ceremony to young wizards who have not entered.But for the sake of the two of us talking about everything, I am willing to take the risk of violating my oath and reveal a little bit to you: to train your sense of direction, you need to follow your inner choice.

Say hello to Narcissa and Lucius for me.

Yours sincerely,

Agareth Black"

After tying the parchment to Silver's feet, the vigorous black owl lightly pecked at Agares' hand, spread its wings and flew away into the sky.

After leaving the owl hut, Agares planned to go for a walk by the Black Lake alone to get some fresh air.

It has been almost a month since he entered school.

In terms of academics, Agares has never encountered any difficulties. In terms of interpersonal relationships, he has successfully made a lot of friends in Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and was even honored as a Grant The last of the most hated Slytherin students in Fendor, the latter represents him in the eyes of Gryffindor.

Hogwarts has a thousand years of history, as long as he wants, he can get knowledge anywhere in this castle.For example, last night he was on the left side of the History of Magic classroom, talking to a wizard in a portrait about a sentence written by a mermaid in the second paragraph of page [-] of "Mermaid Language" written by the famous medieval wizard De Forest Whether the translation is wrong, and then get the portrait wizard's research report on mermaids during his lifetime.

This made Agares realize that there are unexpected surprises hidden in every corner of the castle, just waiting for him to dig.

He had finished his after-school work with Filch eleven times, but it was useless, because every Friday in Potions class, their headmaster would continue to give him a bunch of punishment notices, just a short time later. For weeks, his after-school labor had been scheduled until after Christmas.

But after-school labor still has an advantage. Agares was asked by Filch to clean his office on the ninth time, which led him to discover a filing cabinet, and inside he saw an unexpected name: Sirius Black.

Judging from the content inside, Filch specially set up files for those students who were often punished for violating school rules, which recorded the reason and time of each punishment.Judging from the files, his father studied at Hogwarts from 1971 to 1978. In seven years, Sirius Black's record of violations could fill up ten pages of parchment.

He originally thought that his father's violation record would be something like using black magic, after all, that would fit the profile of a demented murderer, wouldn't it?But to his surprise, the above are just night tours, playing tricks on classmates, playing pranks, disrespecting professors, skipping classes, and so on.It looked like a Gryffindor, not a Slytherin.

Draco and Narcissa had told him that all of Black's family were Slytherins, so he could only attribute that to the fact that Sirius Black was the only Slytherin outlier.

Discovering my father's records was at best a small adjustment in the after-school labor service.Agares didn't take it to heart, he had no affection for his biological father, and he wasn't curious about his affairs.It would be fine if he wasn't in Azkaban, but since the identity of the murderer's son had become a fact, Agares would only find a way to find another way out for himself.

The Black Lake in October was already a bit cold, and there were a few couples walking by the lake in twos and threes, and it was inevitable that Agares would feel awkward walking in it.After discovering this, he found a deserted grass and sat down.

With a wave of his wand, he cast a warming spell on himself, and the wind blowing on his face immediately changed from dry and cold to slightly cool.

The Black Lake is very large and the water surface is very calm. According to the Hogwarts freshman handbook, there seems to be a giant squid in it, as well as mermaids, Grindylow and nearly a hundred other magical creatures.

He has never seen a giant squid, but he has seen mermaids and Grindylow in Slytherin's dormitory.Opening the curtains every morning, the experience of seeing a mermaid lying on the window and looking in is not something everyone can have.

The reason why Agares borrowed "Mermaid Language" was also to understand what the mermaid said to him every day.Now he already knew that the mermaid said that one of her necklaces was taken away by the wizard of the school, and hoped that Agares could help her get it back, for which she would give him a mermaid treasure as a reward.

Agares agreed to her, but hadn't started to act yet.Because he found that communicating with the mermaids about the history of their ethnic group can get a lot of extraordinary content from it.

While Agares was enjoying a rare leisure time, Eddie Carmichael ran out of the castle and came towards him.

"Agares! So you are here, I asked a lot of people to find you!"

"What's wrong? Did you find anything interesting again?" Agares said lazily as he lay on the grass and looked at the starry sky.

Eddie tried to pull him up from the grass, lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his excitement: "Come on, I found a secret room on the fifth floor, I guess it can be used as our secret base in the future!"

Agares didn't really want to waste his leisure time, and went to see some secret room with him.Since the start of school, he has already discovered four or five secret rooms, but this is not of much use.

As if guessing that the secret room was not very attractive to Agares, Eddie approached his ear again, and almost whispered: "That secret room can also lead to the restricted area of ​​the library..."

After hearing these words, Agares sat up from the ground.

"you sure?"

"One hundred percent sure, I went in twice. Hey, that's interesting, I'll let you know as soon as possible."

Agares smiled: "That's interesting, let's go and have a look."

The room Eddie found is just around the corner from the library. In a portrait, the secret to opening the door is to tap the door in the portrait with a wand, and then say "the greatest power in the world is knowledge", and the door will open , and put the students in it.

Agares tried according to what Eddie said, and sure enough, he entered another room.

The room is like a reading room, with wall lamps hanging on the surrounding walls, five long tables are placed in the room, and a desk lamp is placed in each position.

Eddie led Agares to the innermost wall of the room, where a pull ring hung abruptly.

"Araho Cave is open!"

The position of the pull ring opened a small door, and the other side of the door was dark.

Agares and Eddie tiptoed over, the exit was a blind corner tightly blocked by bookshelves, no matter from which angle, there was no way to see a small door opened here.The books on the bookshelf are undoubtedly not suitable for the lower grades to read. After a casual glance, Agares has already discovered books such as "Exploration of the Origin of Black Magic", "A Thousand Curses of Ancient Egypt", "Advanced Black Potion, etc.

The two returned to the reading room.

"How did you find out here?" Agares asked.

Eddie was obviously very proud of his feat: "I found a note in Ravenclaw's library, and there was a little girl's diary on it, saying that she had been invited by the boy she had a crush on, and asked her to go to the library to read Room, and said that only the real Ravenclaw can go in the reading room. The little girl went to the library for an appointment, but she waited all day and didn’t see the boy. She thought he cheated her. But the boy said, it was her Not finding the reading room proves she's not the real Ravenclaw, so they can't be together."

"After reading this story, my intuition told me that there must be something wrong with the reading room. So I went to the library to observe, and even sneaked into the □ area when Mrs. Pince was not paying attention, although I was kicked out soon go out."

"The hard work paid off, and I finally noticed the portrait at the corner of the library. Isn't it strange to hang there as a portrait with no figures and no scenery? I read the password to the portrait all night before I finally got it right. One, come in here."

"The pull-hook in the room is much simpler. I just tried two or three spells, and I opened it with the Door Opening Charm. Hey, it proved that I am a real Ravenclaw!"

"Of course, Eddie, you have completely proved yourself." Agares said happily.

The Restricted Section of the Hogwarts Library, this is simply amazing.

"I think we'll have a better meeting room in the future."

Hogwarts does not teach black magic, and all related books are locked in the restricted area, and young wizards are prohibited from reading it.Only when a small number of senior students need to use certain books due to coursework requirements, they will ask the dean for a reading slip and be allowed to enter.

Many books in the forbidden book area are dangerous in themselves, not only the contents inside, but even opening the books rashly may cause black magic damage to the readers.

In the Middle Ages, the more advanced the magician left his own knowledge, the higher the threshold he set for this book.Some wizards who are too mediocre and do not meet the requirements of a magician will often be injured or even die by the protection and attack magic carried in the book.

Neither Agares nor Eddie are reckless people. No matter how attractive the forbidden book area is to them, they will make preparations before deciding which book to look for.

In the reading room, Agares also found another way to use the pull ring.When pointing at Griphook with a wand, and speaking out the book he is looking for, Griphook will do a basic test on the wizard, and then use the color to indicate whether he has the ability to borrow it.

Currently, out of the ten books they tested, about ten are not available for borrowing.

Well, as first-year students, even though their grades have already surpassed all students of the same grade and are even better than those of senior grades, they are still too weak for the restricted area.

The author has something to say:

For Agares now, only power and profound magic are his only pursuits.
