The Admiral of Hogwarts

In the world of wizards, many books are not just simple carriers of knowledge, but contain internal power and various magical effects.

This is why many books in the wizarding world are very expensive, as even with the help of magic, these special magic books can only be produced manually on a small scale.

As a result, the price of books will naturally not be cheap.

In addition, the reason why books are so expensive is that, in addition to the inability to achieve large-scale production to spread costs, these magical books with special effects require higher-quality and more expensive materials.

However, these expensive books can also provide readers with unprecedented experiences and help them better grasp the knowledge in the books. For example, the book 《Transfiguration and Combat》 in front of Hugo and his friends is like this.

The hand that stretched out from the book just now is a special effect of this book. When the reader points to a certain spell, the book will demonstrate the casting gesture and recite the magic spell that goes with it.

"Looks quite interesting." After seeing this, Hugo and his friends became more interested in this book. Soon, they turned to the first page of the book and started reading from the beginning.

Contrary to what they had imagined, this book placed in the Restricted Section was not as complicated as they thought. Or rather, this is not a magical theory book, but a practical operation book.

Except for a few spells that are not in the textbook, most of the book is content from the textbook, and the core of this book is to teach readers how to make good use of those transfiguration spells in order to achieve various magical effects in battle.

"Terrain transformation, animating objects, material transformation, human body transformation—" As they browsed the contents of the book page by page, the three people present all realized the value of this book.

Of course, from the slightly bloody illustrations accompanying the words, they also realized why this book was placed in the Restricted Section.

"This is indeed a dangerous book. If those with weak minds learn the contents of this book, they may cause accidental casualties due to the abuse of these spells," Hugo said with emotion after everyone had roughly read the entire book.

"Not only that, although most of the magic here comes from textbooks, some variations of high-grade magic may cause harm to the caster themselves when cast," Hermione said, turning the book to the part about human transfiguration.

"For example, if these spells that apply changes to a certain part of the caster's body are cast incorrectly, they are likely to cause irreversible damage to the caster, or even death on the spot."

"Don't worry, these spells require powerful magic to perform, and even if the spell is cast incorrectly, the required magic power will not be reduced by half," Hugo said to his sister with a troubled face after carefully reading the introduction of those dangerous spells related to human transfiguration.

"That is to say, even if we use the correct incantation and standard gestures, it is impossible to release those dangerous spells, so there is no need to worry about the terrible consequences of backlash after casting the spell incorrectly."

Hugo felt that this might be the reason why Mrs. Pince was willing to lend them the book. After all, compared to those high-grade students who might cause fatal consequences, even if Hugo and his second-grade students messed around after reading the book, they would not be able to successfully release the magic and cause damage due to insufficient magic power.

"I feel that the difficulty of these things is more complicated than all the transfiguration magic we have learned before." After everyone turned to the location of the simplest magic recorded in the book at the very front of the book, Hermione shook her head and said.

"If we only rely on self-study, we may not be able to learn even the simplest magic in a month."

"This means we need to find a teacher, a teacher who can really teach us in this area, not a liar like Lockhart."

Veneto tapped the table with a finger at this time and said, "Professor McGonagall is definitely not suitable, she is usually too busy. What do you think of Miss Enterprise?"

"Enterprise? I think she will definitely be willing to help us." Hearing Veneto say this, Hermione immediately reacted, then closed the book, tucked it under her arm, and said.

"It's better to act sooner rather than later, let's go find her quickly and ask if she is willing to spend some rest time to teach us."

"Teach you?" Five minutes later, Hugo and his friends sat obediently in front of Enterprise's desk, listening to what Enterprise said.

"If it were someone else, I might not be willing, because you should know that I am a novice and need to spend some time strengthening myself. But for the sake of our friendship, I am willing to teach you these things on Tuesday and Thursday evenings."

Speaking of this, Enterprise flipped through the book 《Transfiguration and Combat》, and then commented on the book they found in the Restricted Section to Hugo and the others who were sitting there waiting.

"The book you found, which is more than two hundred years old, is really too old. In fact, many of the magic spells inside can be replaced by some newly invented simple magic spells—"

Enterprise, who has part of the Auror training memory, quickly evaluated the book based on the memory in her mind. According to her, the book is indeed very practical, but the only flaw is that it is too old.

But if some old magic is replaced with new magic, then even Hugo and his second-grade students can find some magic that they can use.

"Okay, let's do a test first, so that it will be convenient to arrange the courses later." After making the decision, Enterprise waved her wand to move the furniture in the office against the wall, leaving only three stools in front of Hugo and his friends.

"Let's start practicing with the most basic transfiguration spell. Please turn these stools in front of you into the color I specify—"

The test lasted for more than two hours, from the simplest color change to partial transfiguration, and finally to the overall transfiguration. After all the tests were completed, Enterprise nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, your level in transfiguration is already equivalent to the first half of the third grade. I think when you come again next Tuesday, I should be able to formulate a learning plan suitable for you."

"Why didn't you borrow books from the Restricted Section before?" On the way back to the Ravenclaw common room after they left the office, Hugo asked Enterprise through the Admiral Network.

"If I remember correctly, those professors at Hogwarts should have the right to browse the books in the Restricted Section at ordinary times."

The reason why Hugo asked such a question was very simple, that is, Enterprise just proposed to put the book in his place temporarily for her to take a look.

And after hearing her say this, Hugo checked the Admiral Network and found that Enterprise had not uploaded several books from the Restricted Section during this period, so he asked such a question.

"Theoretically, professors do have the right to borrow books from the Restricted Section, but temporary workers like me can't," Enterprise explained. "I can only borrow one book from the Restricted Section of the library a week, and it must be related to transfiguration."

"And if I want to borrow books without restrictions like other professors, I may have to wait until I become a full-time employee in a year."

Speaking of this, Enterprise paused for a moment.

"After all, the knowledge hidden inside Hogwarts is not small. It is obviously impossible not to have any defenses."

After hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo finally understood why Enterprise hadn't gotten many books from the Restricted Section even after becoming a professor. Fortunately, if there are no accidents, they can harvest a lot of knowledge from the Restricted Section next year.

After understanding the question about borrowing books, Hugo and his friends also returned to the Ravenclaw common room. However, to their surprise, when they had just entered the common room, a group of people were already waiting for them there.
