The Ravenclaws, who had been playing all night, fell asleep, and seemed to have the aroma of sweet candy in their sleep.

But then, the hottest topic at Hogwarts is "The Chamber of Secrets and the Heir." "The students talked about nothing else, and spent their days talking about the attack on Lady Loris.

Filch's performance is a constant reminder: he often paced around the place where Mrs. Loris had been killed, as if he thought the attacker would come again.

Alan saw him scrub the writing on the wall with the "Mrs. Skoll Brand Universal Miracle Stain Remover", but in vain, the words still flashed so brightly on the stone wall.

Alan couldn't understand why he hadn't asked the professors for help, and Professor Dumbledore had allowed the line to stay on the wall. For the little wizards, this is equivalent to being reminded once every time they pass by here: the secret room has been opened, and the school is in danger!

Maybe the professors were too busy to think of this?Whatever the reason, out of caution, Alan didn't take it personally. At present, this wall focuses the attention of unknown teachers and students, and he does not want to push himself to the forefront of public opinion in the school, and he must not act rashly.

However, seeing Filch struggling to erase the words and looking frustrated, Alan still couldn't help but feel pity.

Of course, there must be something hateful about the poor man, and when Filch is not patrolling the crime scene, he will stare at two red eyes, sneak up in the hallway, and then suddenly pounce on the unsuspecting students, and try every possible excuse to lock them up, such as "gasping too loudly" or "grinning face".

No matter how tense the atmosphere in the school is, for the professors, the teaching work on a daily basis is much more than in the past. Allen speculated that the professors probably thought the students were impetuous, and wanted to take advantage of the heavy workload to keep the students from thinking nonsense.

However, this did not make much difference, and the time spent in the library did increase, and the number of students increased dramatically, but the books everyone looked for were books related to the Chamber of Secrets and the history of Hogwarts, in addition to homework.

Alan was the last to leave the library every day, and before leaving, he habitually cast a spell to help Mrs. Pince tidy up the library's tables and chairs.

The librarian, Ms. Pince, was a thin, grumpy woman, like a malnourished vulture. But she has a crush on Alan, who often helps her organize the library.

Mrs. Pince told Allen that "all of Hogwarts: A History of the School had been borrowed," she said, using a large feather duster to clean the shelves in the forbidden section, "and the queue for those who had been registered for borrowing had been in two weeks." This book has never been so popular, because it's so thick! ”

Alan touched his nose with some weakness, he liked to draw while reading, although he would cast a spell to clear the handwriting after reading, but he was still a little embarrassed to hear Mrs. Pince say this.

"Ahem," Alan cleared his throat, avoiding the dust that Mrs. Pince had dusted, "no, with the spell you cast, no young wizard would dare to risk being chased by a book that weighs so much. ”

With the thickness of "Hogwarts: A School History", hitting the head should be no different from the damage caused by bricks!

Mrs. Pince looked at Alan suspiciously, how could she know so clearly if she hadn't been beaten?

Alan shrugged, took out the book he wanted to borrow, and handed it to Mrs. Pince.

"The Mystery Beast Illustrated Book?" Mrs. Pince held the book up, checked it against the light, and then skillfully registered the information about the books that Allen had borrowed. Push the registration book to Alan and ask Alan to sign his name.

"Be careful, this is the first edition, and it's very precious. Dumbledore thinks that since it is not dangerous, it should be open to young wizards!" Madame Pince frowned, clearly not very approving with the Headmaster's decision. "But don't scribble, and don't break it!" Lady Pince told Eren repeatedly, and her thin body stood upright, and her eyes were as sharp as those of a falcon, staring at Alan.

Alan repeatedly promised that he would never break or lose the book, and Mrs. Pins allowed Alan to leave with the boxy booklet.

Actually, Alan didn't want to take it back and read it if he could, but the book wasn't meant to be read in a quiet library. Because it not only has animal patterns、Also use magic to collect animal sounds in the book。 Is there anything more magical, but Alan has to read and explore.

Although Mrs. Pince had kept the book high and hidden it in the corner of a remote shelf, Alan had read it one by one in the order of the shelves, and would naturally turn to it.

Alan, who returned to the dormitory, couldn't wait to open the book, and when he opened the book, countless large and small sea snakes were drawn on the first insert connected to the cardboard shell on the cover, perhaps the author loved the image of the sea snake very much!

Alan shrugged and continued to flip through. This is followed by a white insert with the name of the writer and the date of the publisher. The author of the book turned out to be a French wizard, and the author in charge of the text was Jean-Baptiste de Panafieux. In charge of the picture part is Camille Jean Wissad. The publishing house is a basil shop that began in 1831.

Alan continued to flip down, looking at it with relish. This book introduces magical creatures into six aspects: dragons and snakes, four-legged beasts, winged beasts, sea beasts, centaurs, and hybrid beasts.

Not only is there a textual introduction, but also in the form of a naturalist illustrated book, which not only shows the whole picture and internal structure of the animals: their fur, bones, muscles, internal organs, horns and claws, and even beards and feces, but also can understand how they reproduce, grow, hunt, in which areas they move, what breeds, and what abilities they know.

Alan placed a soundproofing spell on his bed so that the sounds of magical creatures from the books would not wake Edward.

Alan flipped the book to the basilisk page. The first thing you see is the text introduction, which is not much different from "Where the Magical Creatures Are Located", on the illustration page, the birth process of the basilisk is drawn at the top, and at the bottom is a large snake covered in dazzling green, with a bright red feather on its head. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its long fangs, and its large yellow eyes stared at Allen. As soon as Allen's gaze met it, he felt his whole body stiffen for a few seconds.

A few lines emerge from the book, "Anyone whose gaze touches its gaze will be killed instantly." ”
