The dormitory arranged for Ranko by the school is in Room 2 on the fourth floor of the North Tower.

The whole castle looked magnificent and spacious, but the entire school of students and professors, plus the house-elves who served the wizards, was less than three hundred.

The number of professors here is even smaller, excluding Ranko and Winnie, and Karkaroff, who is ignoring everything, there are only five people left, plus the librarian and the caretaker of the student dormitory West Tower.

However, librarians generally don't leave the library, and Sita's caretakers don't leave the library at will.

Vice Principal Winnie is also mostly in the East Tower on weekdays, handling school affairs, so the permanent population of the North Tower is only six people.

And the professor who stayed in the North Tower of Durmstrang School of Magic and Wizardry during the holidays was only Professor Rinus Harlenius, who taught astronomy.

"Professor Harlenius often needs to record the trajectory of the stars at the stargazing platform in the castle, so he is not usually in the North Tower."

In other words, for the next nearly a month in the entire North Tower, only Ranko was left.

Of course, Ranko naturally doesn't feel anything about this.

"Professor Malfoy, if you're really bored, you can also use the key to the Headmaster's office to go to Longyearbyen, where there are quite a few wizard shops and bars selling items, where you can taste some of the unique Norwegian food, and there are not a few interesting things there."

Winnie was afraid that Professor Malfoy was bored, so she suggested.

"Thanks, Professor Danlin, I'll think about it."

Professor Malfoy nodded noncommittally.

Longyearbyen, the capital of the Norwegian island, is the only place with a community of wizards outside of Durmstrang, a school hidden in the midst of blizzards and mountains.

Most of the daily necessities purchased by Ridham Strong on weekdays come from there, and it can be regarded as a relatively prosperous place.

Of course, this should not compare to the bustle of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade in England.

However, most of Durmstrang's students don't have the opportunity to go to Longyearbyen City during their school years.

The reason for this can only be said that Durmstrang's principal is already a little frightened, and he is now even afraid that those people will follow the students in order to get the specific location of Durmstrang's school site.

The key to Principal Durmstrang's office is only used when he leaves the school in rare cases, and most of the students rely on specially bred Pegasi to get back to school.

These Pegasi can be found in the Norwegian Ministry of Magic and the city of Longyearbyen, where wizards and students from the Ministry of Magic can come and go.

Of course, if it weren't for the efforts of the Norwegian Minister of Magic and the Vice Chancellor to stop it, Karkaroff might not have been able to do such a thing as "don't think about coming in as long as you go out, and all the Pegasi outside will be Arvada".

"You can return to school through the Pegasi in Longyearbyen, but this requires a magical document with Durmstrand's seal to use it."

Ranko suddenly sighed a little that Durmstrang's privacy was really good.

Could it be that the enemy will really attack an old castle with not many people?

…… Oh, it's not impossible.

Karkaroff should be at the top of the list of juniors.

When Professor Malfoy reached his dormitory through the spiral staircase, Winnie said:

"Professor Malfoy, if you have any questions, let me know through the house-elves."

"Yes, Professor Danlin."

Winnie seemed to have something to attend to, so she hurried away after saying hello.

"Now it seems that Durmstrang is in a worse condition than I thought."

Opening the door, the old-looking house-elf inside bowed to Ranko and said:

"Mr. Malfoy, you've got all your stuff packed."

"Good work, Teacup."

The room was large, a little bigger than Professor Malfoy could have imagined.

Through the enchanted window, you can see a huge lake surrounded by mountains, and black trick ships of various sizes floating in the lake.

There are all kinds of fruits on the table, many of which are not found in Norway but are unique to England.

The school did not mistreat these professors, and even with the deliberate connivance of Vice Chancellor Winnie, these professors were treated no worse than the life of the Minister of Magic in Durmstrang.

"But having said that, there are always some people who don't care about fame."

Holding a round apple, Professor Malfoy thought.

"At least I ...... Well, it tastes good...... At least I, if I have this kind of life, I usually teach and take exams, and I would like to retire here...... Ah no, it should be called going to work. ”

Well, the kind that can go up to death.

Fame is of little use to him, and lo and behold, he is working against Grindelwald, playing dark arts under Dumbledore's nose and teaching bad students by the way, so he has won the first-class medal of the Order of Merlin, is he proud?

The temperature inside the north tower was vastly different from the outside world, and it wasn't long before Ranko untied his thickened cloak and pulled a quail's egg out of his pocket.

There was already a thin slit on the white phoenix egg, which was faintly visible at this time, but inside, there was no movement.

"Temperature is only an external factor, and some stimulation is necessary for the Oreo to hatch properly."

Placing the Quail Egg on a basin of ice in the corner, Professor Malfoy took his wand and double-checked the room for spells against him before digging into his pocket and pulling out a box of special glass bottles.

Taking out the empty glass bottle inside, Ranko tapped his temple with his wand, and as the silent spell activated, a silver thread was pulled out of his mind as the wand slid away.

"A Guide to the Dark Arts."

The empty bottle floated on its own, and the bottle containing the memory lay into the box following Ranko's line of sight.

"Powerful Spell."

"Wizarding History – Witch Hunt."

"Multiple Toxic Herbs" ......"

"The Encyclopedia of Erosion Spells" ......"

"Spell Breakers and Counterspells – The Egyptian Pyramids" ......"

“……”

These were the books he had read in the forbidden section of Hogwarts, extracting memories from his mind and using special alchemical artifacts that could be re-watched later even if he didn't remember them at the time.

"That way, you can flip through it whenever you want, even if you don't need to go back to Hogwarts."

The silver memory exuded a beautiful color, and Ranko placed the last glass bottle in his hand into the box, and after closing the box, he removed the tip of the wand aimed at the temple and turned it to the surface of the box, and used a spell.

"Durmstrang's library shouldn't be worse than Hogwarts, well, the school advocates dark arts education, and there will be no shortage of books on this subject."

It looks like we're going to make the most of this month.
