This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"Sorry, Hagrid."

Andrew put away his wand and immediately apologized to Hagrid.

"It doesn't matter. I'll give that copy to you. I still have two more copies."

Hagrid looked unconcerned - his attention was entirely on Andrew's put away wand. It would be so fun to magically put away this interesting book.

"Thank you very much, Hagrid," Andrew responded seriously while squatting down to observe the remains of the monster book.

Unfortunately, it is probably dead forever - the incomplete and blank pages are definitely not something that the repair spell can interfere with.

Andrew pulled out the wand again and carefully tested it with the transformation technique, but this time the power disappeared, and everything seemed ordinary, like the most ordinary raw materials.

"It's so weird, so weird..."

Andrew muttered under his breath and tried to pull out the cover, but unfortunately, the cover was destroyed together.

"What are you looking for, Andrew?"

"Author, who is the author of this book?"

Andrew stood up, "Which bookseller published this book? It's so strange, this kind of power."

"Edward Lima."

Hagrid said the name with almost no thought.

"He's the Master of Magical Creatures?"

"No," Hagrid said matter-of-factly, "He is a knowledgeable centaur, that's why it's called the Monster Book of Monsters."

"Centaurs are humanoid creatures protected by the Ministry of Magic, right?"

Andrew was stunned for a moment, "Are they considered monsters?"

Andrew still listened to a lot of Professor Lockhart's class last school year, and coupled with Percy's review notes, he was still clear about this.

Professor Lockhart also introduced it in "Walking with Vampires" - vampires, hags, and centaurs are collectively recognized as humanoid creatures. From the standpoint of the Ministry of Magic, they are treated as humans.

"Don't you know?"

Hagrid looked at Andrew with strange eyes, "Centaurs never want to admit it. They think they are more beasts than people. The main reason is that the law of the year hurt them. Now the Centaur Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic is a joke. —Because no centaur has ever been there."

"But, these books?"

"Yes, I ordered it from the centaur tribe. They are responsible for publishing it." Hagrid looked proud. "It can be said to be the most useful textbook."

"What about the original textbook?"

"The original textbook had too many errors. The old professor had long wanted to change it, but the centaur tribe over there refused to provide it in large quantities. I only got the recommendation from the tribe in the Forbidden Forest!"

Speaking of this, Hagrid was particularly excited, and Andrew could clearly tell it - but thinking about it, if it was really such a process, it wouldn't hurt to be a little excited.

But this means a bad thing - centaurs rarely share their unique knowledge, and the magical protection in books can undoubtedly be regarded as unique knowledge.

"Then what's the reason for being so aggressive?" Andrew looked at the wreckage on the ground. "I can understand the protection added to prevent the manufactured knowledge from being plundered, but they seem to be too lively."

"Haven't you heard, Andrew?" Hagrid looked like you don't even know common sense. "Knowledge itself is also a kind of power. Without this method, a lot of knowledge cannot be written in books. "

ah?

Andrew's eyes widened - it was the first time he heard such a statement.

"You mean, because those things themselves have power, the carrier must be magical?"

"Yes, but the carrying methods are different. Many books in the library have strange forms. It is for this reason."

Hagrid seemed to be talking enthusiastically, "For example, the photos of Thunderbirds' feathers cannot be published publicly, because general newspapers and parchments cannot carry the magical power contained in those feathers, but the monsters in their monster books have A photo that clearly shows the feathers.

"For another example, dragon scales cannot be enlarged and produced, but the monster book can. It is because the carrier has been modified that it can do such a thing.

"besides…"

Obviously, Hagrid was extremely satisfied with his choice of teaching materials. He could not stop talking about them, and the skills contained in them were also unknown to Andrew. This caused the two of them to talk and listen, and they were stunned to the point where the sun was shining on them. When the temperature rises significantly.

"Oh my God!"

Andrew glanced at the sky, then took out his pocket watch from his arms, "Sorry, Hagrid, I have to go back, I have something to do before breakfast!"

"I have to get ready," Hagrid said with worry on his face, "I have to go to the castle to have breakfast, as the old professor told me!"

But unlike Andrew who ran all the way, Hagrid had no choice - the old professor had told him that a professor should behave like a professor and not be in a hurry or look like a professor.

'Fortunately I'm not late for breakfast...'

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards Professor McGonagall's office - today was the first day of school, and he had to help the professor pass on the class schedule, especially to the third-year group of guys who had chosen different courses. Without a class schedule, they didn't know how to attend.

"Dong dong dong."

He knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

——

"It's rare to see you so anxious, Taylor. Did you wake up late this morning?"

Professor McGonagall didn't panic at all, "Don't be so anxious. If it doesn't work, you can eat in the office."

We are going to distribute the class schedule today, Professor!

"I didn't get up late, I just saw the new textbook from Professor Hagrid. I was so surprised that I almost lost track of time, Professor."

Andrew responded honestly.

"That monster book?"

As expected, Mag knew very well, "You didn't even look at it during the holiday? I thought you secretly destroyed the textbook and planned to continue without giving up."

"I have this plan, and I'm going to mail-order it to see if it's still available."

Andrew has no intention of giving up at all - that thing is in an intermediate state between living things and dead things, but it is still a long-term version, which is of great research value.

Although this year he focuses on human body transformation, the practical skill of turning dead into life still needs to be broken through.

But briefly giving life to dead objects and the textbook that seems to be alive are two different concepts - the latter has a much higher gold content, and the fragile state of life means that this magic is not that powerful, which really makes him useless. Let go of the method.

"It's almost as I guessed, but the centaurs' unique magic system is not that difficult. You only need to care about the transformation method, and don't think about the protective magic. It's all a secret now - Albus may have cracked it. , but he will never make it public.”
