Chapter 4 The Ancestral Library

It wasn't until Monsieur Sontrell told Vio to eat some foie gras that she was still soaking in the shock of what she had just said to Mrs. Sontrell, and naturally picked up the vanilla saucer at hand and scraped it with a meat fork - an action that had disastrous consequences and made Monsieur Sontrell angry.

"Vio, I'm recommending foie gras, not vanilla spice—and why are you scraping it with a meat fork?" Mr. Santrill denounced Vio, and sadly took the vanilla saucer away and placed it in front of him. After that, his face became a little better.

Vio then realized that he might be a big fan of vanilla spices.

After eating, Vio was taken to a serious reception room by three serious adults. After everyone had taken their seats at the round table inside, Mr. and Mrs. Santriel glanced at each other, and then Mr. Santriel nodded.

"So," he said after a deliberate pause, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, "the family meeting has officially begun." Because Mom and Dad are not here, I'm going to exercise the parental veto on behalf of Dad, Cassie, Sigoness, do you have any different opinions?"

Both shook their heads.

"I declare, then, the first thing which the Family Council has just decided: In view of your results in all subjects, Vio, your aunt proposes that you spend every morning in the family library from to-morrow onwards - you are not allowed to go out without permission until twelve o'clock at noon. Your mother and I must say that her advice is very pertinent. Hence the unanimous vote. Mr. Santrill straightened a pair of silver cornflower cufflinks and said in an unmistakable tone.

Vio glanced at him, and just as he was about to say something, he excitedly added, "No, your disagreement doesn't count, Vio." No matter what you say, I always have a veto. ”

"・・・・・・" thought that foreign family meetings would be more democratic -- it turned out that they had fantasized in vain, and sure enough, those who were good at managing capital were cunning. Vio reluctantly scolded for a while, but she had nothing to object to this decision. Anyway, for a bigger purpose, she had to study hard this summer - preferably in the library at home with some dark magic books that were not allowed to be read at school.

"Ah, by the way, Cyril dear. Mrs. Santrill patted her husband, who was gloating over Vio's angry expression. "The ceiling in the vio room needs to be repaired, the angel mural there is empty, and in some places the wall skin is warped, and you can grab the bulge and swing. ”

"Is that so? Mickey should be able to handle this, let's ask it later, Vio is responsible for acting as its deputy, if necessary. Mr. Santriel looked at Vio suspiciously, what has his baby daughter been doing in the room these days?

Vio was amazed, she looked at Madame Santril, wondering if she was joking or exculpating herself - didn't she see that Vio was hanging in the air with the long golden dragon's whiskers?

She didn't get a chance to ask, though, and Mitch quickly answered.

She got up and followed it out of the room.

Back in the room, Vio first cast a reduction charm on the leg of the chair that spanned the center of the room before helping it up. As the back of the chair left the ground, Vio noticed that there was something shiny in the place where the chair had been blocked, and she picked it up curiously—it turned out to be a key, the handle of which was in the shape of a dragon's head, and the teeth of the key undulated in an irregular way, looking like a jiggling and winding dragon body.

This is supposed to be what fell out of the Golden Dragon's mouth today. It turned out that the mechanism was the dragon's two whiskers, and today she was crooked. Vio breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all these days had finally been in vain.

At this time, Mickey stood in the doorway, looking at Vio with big tennis eyes, confused.

Vio noticed, and she walked up to Mickey and shook it in front of it, "What's wrong Mickey?"

"Little master, the ceiling - the ceiling is intact there. Mickey blinked and stared blankly at the ceiling, which was obviously normal, except for a few angels with an empty patch in between, everything was normal, and the surface was very flat. "There was no breakage. ”

Vio looked at the ceiling in disbelief, no, the golden dragon was as vivid as before, except for the dragon's head and eyes, which had once again become faintly visible, as if floating among the clouds and mountains, and everything else was as vivid as before—it was a relief rather than a flat mural.

At this time, Mrs. Santrill and Sigoness walked over, they looked at the ceiling of VIO with satisfaction, nodded and praised Mickey, "Just like new, Mickey, you did a great job." ”

Mickey shook his head and was about to explain, but Vio hurriedly spoke first, "Yes, I'm also satisfied, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight." I'm so sleepy—" she said and covered her mouth and yawned, Mickey was about to say something, but Sigoness was afraid that Vio would really go straight to sleep, and said, "Wait, starting tomorrow, you'll need to study in the library, let's go check it out tonight." ”

Mrs. Santrill also said to Mitch, "Mitch, come with me." I've got something to ・・・・・・ here," Mitch nodded, and it seemed that Madame and Miss Sigoness had little interest in the ceiling, it thought.

Lady Santrill then smiled and kissed Vio's forehead, then nodded to Sigoness and left with Mickey.

Vio followed Sigoness up the spiral scissor ladder to the third floor.

As soon as he walked to the third floor, Vio was immediately shocked.

There were no partitions on the entire third floor, except for the thick Dorrick columns arranged in a matrix of rules, and in front of her were rows of bookshelves up to the ceiling. And, in order to prevent dust and dust, there is a blue fabric curtain on the outside of each bookcase. The vast majority of fabric curtains are pulled up, and there are a lot of words printed on them that Vio can't read.

On several bookshelves that have been opened in one corner, books are densely placed, one after the other, crowding each floor of the book.

Such a full bookcase almost fills the entire hall on the third floor, and the spacing between the bookshelves is very small, basically only allowing two people to turn around and go to the opposite bookshelf to find books.

"Well, it looks pretty good, doesn't it? Sigoness asked lightly, her tone was normal, as if such a vast sea of books was not in front of her.

But Vio nodded like garlic, she hadn't seen so many books since she was so old, and even if you count the banned books in the Hogwarts library, I'm afraid it would be less than two-thirds of it!

At this time, she really felt like a hillbilly who had never seen the world, but she was very happy to have the opportunity to be such a hillbilly - she could read these books in the future, Vio smiled and lewdly, as if all kinds of powerful spells could already be at her fingertips, one at a time, and not repeated for a year.

Soon, though, she noticed something was wrong, "Auntie," she laboriously pulled out a book from the nearest shelf, and found that it was nothing more than a popular romance novel, with a few large gilded words on the cover, "The Romance of the Witches of Derbyshire," "This ・・・・・・"

"Ah, you're in luck, this book is the one that Ancestor Talia hated the most. She casts a self-created Peach Heart Spell on it. Sigoness smiled mysteriously with her hands behind her back, and only motioned for Vio to look at her hands with her eyes, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Vio looked down and saw that the palm of her hand holding the book had taken on an abnormal peachy pink, and a red heart appeared on her skin from time to time, which then turned into smoke and dispersed.

"Auntie, ・・・・・・ you just watch like this?" Vio looked at his aunt in disbelief, who had been standing by since just now.

"Oh, just go through it a few more times and get used to it. Many of the books here are old, and every generation of ancestors in the family has left their own reading numbers on them, and you need to read them yourself and find out how to break the spell. Sigoness said briskly, with an unstoppable look in the corners of her eyes. "That's how I and your dad and I came here. You'll get used to it quickly. ”

"・・・・・・" faced with Sigoness's expectant eyes, Vio was speechless.

If she couldn't find the Curse, would her hands have always been like this?vio couldn't imagine that after the summer holidays, she would go to Harry, Hermione, Ron, not to mention her Slytherin classmates with such hands - it would be a disaster.

Saying that there is Yan Ruyu in the book and a golden house in the book is all deceitful.

There is only a bunch of pits in the book that are bloody truths.
