Chapter 8 The correct way to open the monster book

After lunch, Harry returned to his room where he had bought the morning, and then took out a large, dead green book tied with a belt. Even though it was tightly tied, the book could still be seen shaking with all its might.

"What's so special about this book?" Draco looked at the tightly bound books with a puzzled expression.

Daphany also looked at the book with interest. is different from the film and television dramas, this book does not look so hideous, on the contrary, it is quite beautiful. It was a book with a mostly green cover and a fine pattern on it. The title of the book is written in gold letters on it - "Yokai Book of Yokai". Except for the restrained edges of the book cover to protect the pages, nothing else seems to be special.

"You try!" Harry handed the monster book to Draco, and Daphne noticed a glint in Harry's eyes behind his glasses, and a wicked smile on his face.

"Mom!" Sure enough, the next moment, Draco, who had untied his belt, was bitten by the monster book and screamed.

"Book badger?" Daphine's eyes lit up and she found something interesting.

The moment Draco untied his belt, two slits opened in the green cover, which were two eyes. It's similar to the texture of the book cover, so it's easy to notice if you don't look closely, but Daphany noticed. At the same time, the texture of the surface of the book jacket twisted slightly, and then the page opened and bit Draco's hand.

The book also screamed as it bit Draco. The puppy who was drinking milk at Pansy's feet scared a spirit. Straight onto Pansy's feet.

Pansy picked up the puppy and looked at Draco in surprise as he was 'wrestling' with the book.

Daphany thought it was funny, the book cover was a very wonderful magical animal, the book badger. It is also a magical animal bred by magicians. The original intention of the magicians was to create a magical creature that could protect against things like bookworms or rats, and to put it bluntly, it was to protect the book. It turned out to be far more grumpy than it had been planned. Not only does it drive away bookworms and mice, it bites!

That's not all, if you put together the books that are basically protected by book badgers, it's lively. They'll fight like crazy until there's only one left. Although their actual combat effectiveness is very limited, the book is not a very solid thing after all, and it is impossible for the books inside to be intact after a fierce battle, whether they can 'survive' or 'die' in battle.

What a fucking result is that it was originally used to protect the book, but using it in bulk will destroy the book? The magicians weren't even too embarrassed to mention it. But I don't know which guy with a big brain found this thing from that monster book again, and used it for this monster book.

If Daphne hadn't studied magical creatures made by magicians, she would have stumbled upon this thing, and she probably didn't know what it was. But now that she recognized it, Daphany knew exactly what to do with it.

After a hard-fought battle, Draco finally 'trivialized' the Yokai Book. Taking advantage of his weight, Draco pressed the monster book under him. Draco wasn't a complete win either. The bite force of the book badger is not very high, but since it can prevent rats, it is a little bit after all. Therefore, although it was said that it would not bite off his hand and bite his clothes, it was actually quite painful, at least Draco's eyes were hazy from the bite.

"Cousin, are we going to buy this kind of book? Do you still need this kind of book? Draco looked at Daphine with tears in his eyes, his tone full of grievance and resentment, "It must have been Hagrid's stupid big guy who decided, that idiot!" ”

Harry was a little embarrassed when he heard this. Hagrid was his friend, and his first friend in contact with the wizarding world. Supposedly Draco said that in front of him, he supposedly should be very angry. In fact, if it weren't for Draco or Daphany, the others would have turned their faces when they said Harry.

But last semester, Harry felt he owed Draco a great favor. Whether it was saving him during the game or helping him in the back room, Harry was in Draco's favor. And...... Looking at the book in front of him, which was still being held down by Draco with his whole body, and still fighting desperately, Harry felt that what Draco said was not unreasonable. I guess only Hagrid's kind of guy likes this murderous thing, right? After all, it was a guy who kept an eight-eyed giant spider in captivity when he was a student, and he tried to raise a dragon the year before last.

"Actually, this thing is easy to handle." Ignoring Draco's resentment, Daphany got up with a smile and walked over to him, slicing her fingers across the spine of the book. The book shook slightly, as if it had been overpowered, and then it fell silent.

This surprised Draco and Harry. They've all fought with this thing before, and they know how wild the real thing is.

Daphany briefly introduced the book badger, and then said with a smile: "Draw it on the spine like this, and it will be honest for an hour or two." When it gets up again, it's good to paddle again. ”

"If you want to make this stroke, you have to subdue it first!" Draco stood up in a sweat, looked at the book that really didn't move, and said stupidly.

"Well, there's actually an easier way!" Daphany nodded, agreeing with Draco.

"What's the solution?" Harry and Draco asked at about the same time.

"Let's go, go to the Blotted Bookstore, I'll show you!" Daphany said with a smile.

Harry re-tied his book to his belt. Daphne had said that the trick would only work for an hour or two. He didn't like to come back from a trip by himself, and the book had demolished his room. Jiujiu Chinese

After Harry returned the book to his room and came down, the group of four headed to the Blotted Bookstore. On the way, Harry looked at the little black milk dog in Pansy's arms with some greed. Harry didn't know what breed it was, but the puppies were adorable no matter what breed they were. However, looking at it, Harry couldn't help but think of the big black dog he had seen two days ago...... Well, that dog is so big, it's like a bear, I wonder if Pansy's dog can grow that big?

Along the way, the four of them met many Hogwarts students, and when they did, they would basically say hello to them. After all, three of the four can be regarded as the leaders of the academy. Even the most low-key Pansy is a little beauty embryo.

Four school-age children went to the bookstore together. There is no doubt that someone must be buying textbooks. Daphany saw a clerk see four people with her own eyes, and her face darkened. However, he still resigned himself to his fate, and stepped forward while starting to put on gloves. In a deep tone, he said, "Hogwarts students?" How many do you want a monster book? ”

Daphany knew why his face was ugly, in fact all four of them noticed at this time, and they saw the window of the bookstore.

Gone are the usual mantra books the size of floor tiles with gold reliefs displayed in the bookstore windows, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred copies of the Yokai Book of the Yokai. The books were locked together, in a furious wrestling contest, belligerent biting and fighting, and broken pages flying everywhere.

Well, the book badger is grumpy! A large group of book badgers are more irritable together!

"Three books!" Daphany smiled, and then he saw that the clerk's face was green. He took a deep breath, then picked up a thick, knot-covered cane and walked to the iron cage containing the Yokai Book of Yokai.

"Wait a minute, I've got it for you!" Daphany smiled at the clerk and walked to the cage amid the clerk's bewildered gaze.

The monster book in the cage, or the book badgers, ignored her and continued to fight. The next moment, however, they stopped.

Daphine kicked the iron cage, and the whole cage trembled, and all the book badgers were stunned, and turned to stare at Daphine with their eyes in the slit. Daphany was not afraid, she just wanted them to look at themselves and pay attention to themselves. I saw her take out her wand, point to the iron cage, the spark on the head of the wand flickered, and said in an indifferent tone: "Be quiet, otherwise I will burn you all with a fire!" ”

In an instant, all the books were honest.

"Look!" Daphne turned around and smiled at the stunned trio and the clerk, "This book itself is a magical creature, but it is a relatively low-level magical creature. They can roughly understand human speech, so threats are useful. However, these simple-minded guys are really hot-tempered, especially the thorns in them, and sometimes words alone may not be able to control them......"

Before Daphany could finish speaking, two books in the cage seemed to confirm her words, and they rioted again.

Daphany stepped forward and lifted the cage, and with a flick of her wand, one of them flew up. As a Quidditch player, Daphany has been practicing hand-to-hand combat skills for a long time, and is very agile and quick. Grab the book. Instead of scratching the spine, he picked it up and smashed it against the edge of the cage.

The entire cage made a clattering sound because of Daphany's movements, and another stinging book badger instantly became honest, and even shrank under another book.

The clerk was dumbfounded, and when he had recovered his strength, he looked at Daphany's eyes again, like looking at a god!

"No, it's solved!" Daphany smiled at the clerk, "We want three, well, and a few other books...... as she said as she pulled out her shopping list.

Later, Daphany also told the clerk how to draw the spine of the book, and also advised: "This creature has a very limited brain capacity, so the memory is not very good." Although I will be afraid to be honest for a while, but when I forget it, I will move again. It is better to have a belt to tie it up. After all, this book is still quite expensive, and if they tear each other and break it, you will lose it. ”

The clerk nodded again and again, and it seemed that he almost knelt down and called Merlin to come.

In the end, all four of them had a ninety-fifty discount on their books. Originally, the clerk's authority could only be discounted by 98% at most, but he reported the matter to the manager. After the manager learned about it, he went to read the monster books in person and became honest, and immediately gave Daphne and the four of them a ninety-five discount.

In fact, among the four, even Harry, who has the highest priority in assets, doesn't care about the half-percent discount. But it's still a lot of fun.

After buying the book, Daphany and Draco were ready to go home. Daphany pretended to invite Harry to her house.

"I'm afraid not." Harry said dejectedly, "Mr. Fudge said that I can't leave Diagon Alley, I can only stay at the Leaky Cauldron. ”

"Hmm!" Daphany pretended to nod her head, thoughtful: "Speaking of which, at this time, you are indeed not suitable for running around!" ”

"What happened? Daphany? Harry asked excitedly, as he had always felt as if something had happened or something about him. But he didn't know what it was. Now, it seems, Daphany knows!
