After Charms class is over, there are no classes for the second year of Ravenclaw today, which is the best news for the new semester.

So Li Lin and Hermione took advantage of this free time and came to the school library.

Now there is no one else in the library except the administrator, which is really rare and quiet. This also allowed Li Lin to indulge, and he brought a lot of books and put them on the table and on the ground.

"Lin, what are you looking for?"

Hermione was flipping through the spells of a thick spell book, but she was curious about Li Lin's actions.

"The Chamber of Secrets, the Chamber of Secrets since the foundation of Hogwarts."

Li Lin replied.

However, it is clear that the books in the library have been carefully sifted by the headmaster, just like "Cutting-edge Dark Magic" that Voldemort had read before, which has now disappeared from the library. Some of the books in the library that are related to the Chamber of Secrets are now biased towards legends, and almost none of them are related to Ravenclaw. It's more about Salazar Slytherin.

The only one, in a handwritten manuscript, reveals in a more subtle way that the founder of Ravenclaw College, Rowena Ravenclaw, has left her heirs with hidden knowledge.

The interpretation of this passage is generally speculation, and it is the crown of Ravenclaw. However, Li Lin knew that the crown was not deliberately hidden by Rowena, but was stolen by her daughter, so the knowledge left by Rowena should be the secret room that Li Lin discovered.

It's just that there's still no way to get in.

Li Lin frowned, and returned the books to their original places, at this time it was close to night, but Li Lin took out another medicine book from the shelf.

Li Lin had Snape's approval and could borrow the books.

"Shrinking Potions and Protection?"

Hermione read the title of the book.

"You like potions so much?"

"I guess it's funny."

Li Lin explained.

The next day's herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout stood behind a desk in the middle of the greenhouse. There are many earmuffs of different colors on the table.

When everyone was seated, Professor Sprout said, "We're going to repot the mandrake today." Now, can anyone tell me what the properties of a mandrake are?"

Hermione was the first to raise her hand, and that was to be expected. However, there were also quite a few people in Hufflepuff House who raised their hands, perhaps because their dean was Professor Sprout, so their herbal medicine classes were of a good level.

"Okay."

Professor Sprout looked delighted.

"Miss Granger, it's up to you to answer."

"Mandrake, also known as mandrake root, is a powerful restorative," Hermione said naturally, as if she had memorized all her textbooks.

"It is used to restore a person who has been transformed or who has been enchanted to his original state."

"Very good, add ten points to Ravenclaw." Professor Sprout said.

"Mandrake is an important part of most antidotes. But it's also dangerous. Can anyone tell me why?"

Hermione's hand brushed up again.

"If you hear a mandrake crying, it kills."

"Exactly, plus ten points." Professor Sprout said.

"Look, our mandrakes here are still very young."

She said, pointing to a row of deep-bottomed plates. Everyone leaned forward, trying to see better. There are about 100 green and purple seedlings lined up.

"A pair of earmuffs for each person." Professor Sprout said.

The students all started to act, and Li Lin was a little distracted to hear that Gryffindor and Slytherin House, the first herb class was also to repot the mandrake, so to speak, the mandrake of these seedlings is quite pitiful, and they have to be changed again after an interval of one class.

As a result, when Li Lin walked to the table, there was only a pair of pink fluffy earmuffs left.

"Hermione."

Li Lin smiled at Hermione, who was covering her mouth and snickering.

"Maybe you can help me with a Transfiguration or something. At least don't make my earmuffs look so cute. ”

Hermione didn't take out her wand, she swapped her earmuffs with Li Lin, it was a blue one.

"When I tell you to put on your earmuffs, you must cover your ears tightly," Professor Sprout said.

"When it's safe to take off the earmuffs, I'll give two thumbs up. Okay, now put on the earmuffs. ”

The students quickly complied, and all of a sudden, the outside voices were cut off. Professor Sprout put on her earmuffs herself, rolled up her sleeves, grasped a blade of grass firmly, and pulled it up with all her might.

And it was not the grass roots that were pulled out of the soil, but a very ugly baby, and the leaves were born on his head. Its skin is light green with spots on it. The little guy was obviously yelling at the top of his lungs.

Professor Sprout took a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the mandrake doll in, and buried him with damp dark compost, leaving only the clumps of leaves exposed. She patted the mud off her hands, gave them two thumbs up, and removed her ear tips.

"Our mandrakes are still just seedlings, and hearing their cries won't be fatal." She said calmly, as if she had just watered the begonias.

"However, they can leave you unconscious for hours, and I don't think any of you want to miss the first day of school, so be sure to wear earmuffs when you live. When it's time to pack up, I'll try to get your attention. ”

"Now there are four people on a plate, and there are a lot of flower pots here."

So the students put on their earmuffs again and concentrated on dealing with the mandrake, who was unwilling to be pulled out of the soil, but did not seem to want to go back. They twisted their bodies, kicked their feet wildly, waved their little pointed fists, and gritted their teeth.

Li Lin's wandless spell was unexpectedly useful at this time. He easily swapped the mandrake for another pot.

Next up is Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson. It's worth mentioning that Lockhart didn't make any more demon moths after the mess of the previous lesson.

When all the students had arrived in the classroom, Lockhart reached for "Walking with Trolls" and held it up in his hand, showing the blinking photo of himself on the cover.

"I," he said, pointing to his picture, blinking as well.

"Gilderoy Lockhart, 3rd Class Medal of the Order of the Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award."

He briefly boasted.

"I see that you all bought my full set of books, and it's good. I thought we'd do a quiz today. Don't be afraid, just see how well you read and how much ...... you comprehend."

With that, Lockhart handed out the papers, and when he had finished them, he returned to the podium and said, "Give you thirty minutes." Now, let's go!".

Li Lin looked at the scroll.

1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?

2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?

3. What do you think is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?

4, Who is the person Gilderoy Lockhart admires the most?

And so on, three whole sides of paper, the last question is 54, what day is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday? What would be his ideal birthday present?

For this kind of question, Li Lin has no desire to answer at all. Thankfully, an automatic pen can always come in handy at this time.

Li Lin pretended to cover it up, watching the automatic writing pen move on the test paper, and the answer answered by the automatic stylus was a little bit of a donkey's lips, but it was like that, it was much better than a blank test paper.

Hermione replied very seriously, apparently, she had already turned over the books she had bought for the new semester no less than three times.

Half an hour later, Lockhart put the test paper away and looked through it in front of the class.

"Tsk, not many people remember my favorite lilac. It's much better than I thought it would be, though. I mentioned it in "A Year with the Tibetan Yeti".

A few of my classmates are going to read "Weekend with Werewolves" again, and I made it clear in chapter 12 that my ideal birthday present is for all those who can and don't do magic to get along with each other. ”

Then, Lockhart paused.

"Well, this one, Mr. Lovegood, though you have written a lot of answers, none of them seem to be correct."

His face was a little strange, after all, Li Lin wrote a lot on the test paper, and there was almost no blank space, which seemed very enthusiastic, but the answer was so bad, he always felt that it was very subtle.

So he had to look at the next paper. This time it made him smile.

"This is Miss Hermione Granger, and it's good, very good. She knew that my secret ambition was to rid the world of evil, as well as sell my own line of hair lotions, in fact" Lockhart turned her rolls over with some excitement,

"One hundred! Where's Miss Hermione Granger?"

Hermione held up a trembling hand.

A good student like her pursues test scores and teacher praise.

"Yay!" Lockhart said with a smile.

"Very good! Ten points to Ravenclaw! Now, to get back to the point, in the previous lesson, I didn't think you could face the horror monsters of this world, so let's read aloud my book "Spending a Weekend with Werewolves" in this lesson. ”

This kind of course is very boring, and many students of the keen Ravenclaw have discovered Lockhart's eccentricity, probably because these students are all boys, and they are originally resistant to Lockhart, who is relatively good-looking, not like a girl who has fallen into a nymphomaniac. Therefore, there are already rumors among the students that there is nothing to look forward to in this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

Unlike the Ravenclaws, who were hungry for knowledge, Li Lin had no problem with this, first, he knew that Lockhart was a straw bag, and second, he didn't expect any useful knowledge that Defence Against the Dark Arts might bring him.

He was now focused on finding the Ravenclaw Vault.
