Chapter 138 Adventure in the Library

Mrs. Pince was upset when she saw Granger coming to the library to read on the first day of school.

She forced a stiff smile and said to Hermione, "Little girl, you are working so hard on the first day of school. Don't you want to play with your roommates for two days?"

Hermione looked thoughtful after hearing what Mrs. Pince said.

"You are right."

Seeing Hermione say this, Mrs. Pince was overjoyed: as long as this little girl was addicted to playing games with her roommates, she would not come to the library to mess with her precious books, right?

"I will bring them here to read together next time."

After saying this, Hermione walked straight into the depths of the library, leaving Mrs. Pince standing there alone, like a stone sculpture.

What Mrs. Pince didn't know was that when she talked to Hermione, the little girl was very nervous, fearing that she would check her backpack - then she would have to explain how the more than ten magic books with the Hogwarts mark came from.

She wandered among the bookshelves, taking out the fake books one by one by memory and replacing them with the real books in her bag.

Soon, most of the books were returned by her, and only one book, "Wizards' Relics", was left. Fortunately, a few minutes later, she found the replaced fake book at the bottom of a bookshelf.

Hermione was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat: Madam Pince actually sorted out the bookshelves at the beginning of the school year! Fortunately, she didn't find the problem in "Wizards' Relics".

Just as Hermione was about to put the recovered fake books into her backpack, she caught a glimpse of blue in the corner of her eyes, and she froze in place.

She raised her head little by little, and then saw a middle-aged witch in an exquisite blue wizard robe looking at her with a smile. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be about the same age as Professor Sprout, the dean of Hufflepuff College, but she was better maintained and had a better temperament.

The blue-robed witch looked familiar, but Hermione couldn't remember where she had seen her.

Hermione: ...

For the first time, she felt what it meant to be "overwhelmed by fear". Her mind was blank. She had no idea what to say or do.

Although she didn't know the witch in front of her, she was obviously a professor at the school. She had discovered her behavior, and now she was doomed.

The blue-robed witch hooked her finger at her, motioning Hermione to follow her. Hermione looked wooden and followed her in a very stiff posture.

The witch walked deep into the library, turned around a few bookshelves, and brought Hermione to a small room that looked like a study room.

The room was simply furnished, with only a long table and seven chairs beside the table, as well as a whiteboard for writing. On the wall on one side of the study room, there was a closed side door, and no one knew where it led to.

This was the first time Hermione came here. She hadn't even noticed that there was such a study room in the library before.

"Sit down."

This was the first time the blue-robed witch spoke to Hermione. Her voice was very gentle, like music. Hearing such a nice voice, Hermione was not so nervous for no reason.

"Why did you do this?" The blue-robed witch pointed to Hermione's schoolbag.

"It's like this..." Hermione told the witch about the book borrowing problem she encountered last semester, but she hid the part about Rice.

"Did you turn the parchment into the shape of a book?" The blue-robed witch asked a question that was very difficult for Hermione to answer - telling the truth would betray Rice, and lying would deceive the professor in front of her.

In the end, Hermione chose to insist that it was her own transformation.

The blue-robed witch smiled: "Then your level of transfiguration is quite high."

Hermione pursed her lips.

"Let's stop here. The school's library management system does have problems. The people who made the rules were not thoughtful. But I hope you will be sincere in the next conversation."

Hermione's face flushed slightly.

"You seem to like hanging out in the library very much?" The blue-robed witch casually brought up the topic as if she was chatting.

"Yes, there are a lot of books here, I like reading."

"Me too, books are the most precious legacy left to us by our ancestors." The blue-robed witch seemed very satisfied with Hermione's answer, and then she asked another key question: You love reading so much, you must be a Ravenclaw, right?

After getting a positive answer, she showed an expression of "as expected" on her face - only Ravenclaw College can have such a child who loves reading.

"You look like the founder of Ravenclaw."

"I don't deserve it..."

"What's your name?"

This question made Hermione nervous all of a sudden: Didn't they say that the topic was over? Why did they ask my name? Was she going to complain to Professor Flitwick or Professor Dumbledore?

"Hermione Jane Granger." Although she was very flustered, Hermione still reported her name truthfully.

After hearing Hermione's name, the blue-robed witch played with her black hair that fell to her shoulders with her fingers. The shiny black hair was rolled up, spread out, and then fiddled with. The blue-robed witch fiddled with her hair like a kitten playing with its tail.

Her actions meant that she was thinking.

The witch was silent for a few seconds, which made Hermione panic. Fortunately, the witch did not express her intention to punish Hermione in the following words, but asked some irrelevant questions, such as how long she stayed in the library last year, how her grades were, whether reading various books affected her studies, etc.

Hermione nodded and told her that she had spent more than a thousand hours in the library. She came to the school library to read every day when she was free. Her grades were not bad. She was lucky and got perfect scores in all subjects.

"Full marks in all subjects?" The blue-robed witch was a little surprised now.

This mysterious blue-robed witch is Ravenclaw, or a phantom formed by the magic of Ravenclaw - if Hermione were bolder and touched the body of the witch in front of her, she would be surprised to find out , the witch in front of her was just an illusion and had no entity. She had just been outside the "study room" and had not touched any physical matter.

And this "study room" is her exclusive classroom in Hogwarts Castle, similar to Rice's "Secret Room".

At the end of the last school year, after Rice brought Ravenclaw back to consciousness, she found a way to send a ray of magic to the ground, and used this ray of magic as a key to activate her backhand in the exclusive classroom.

She used the magic circle left in the secret classroom on the surface to forcefully open a special passage on the seal, allowing her consciousness to pass through the seal and land on the magic shadow formed in her exclusive classroom.

Due to the existence of the seal, her phantom was extremely limited and could not even walk out of the library door - the signal would be "lost" if she strayed further away from the secret classroom, but in the end it was a breakthrough from scratch.

Of course, if Les knew, he would definitely be dissatisfied, because Ravenclaw's behavior was undoubtedly a breach of the seal.
