Hogwarts has the largest magical library in Europe. For nearly a thousand years, Hogwarts administrators have worked tirelessly to collect books from the wizarding world, making the library's collection staggeringly rich.

Before Voldemort's rise, there were even books in the forbidden section that taught you how to make Horcruxes!

It's a pity that the predecessors dug up the trees, and the later generations were exposed to the sun, and since Voldemort made a seventh-equal Riddle, Dumbledore hid all the books that were not suitable for young wizards. This move lowers the upper limit for wizards, but significantly increases the lower limit for everyone.

It is to be expected that after Dumbledore's death, those hidden books will never see the light of day, and countless dark arts in the wizarding world will be lost forever, and it is difficult to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After dinner, the four of them went to the library on the second floor of the castle.

After entering the library, the four of them were shocked by the stacked bookshelves with no end in sight.

"How many books are there!" Ron's eyes puffed out in surprise, and he made a rough estimate by comparison: "I guess there are 100,000 copies?" ”

Love quietly exchanged the Xueba points credited after unlocking the library map for intelligence amplification potion. In terms of the number of books, he was in favor of Ron, and he also felt that Hogwarts had at least 100,000 books, because it really gave him a sense of an ocean of knowledge.

In fact, 100,000 books is really not much, Muggle libraries have tens of millions of books at every turn, and the world's largest library (the Library of Congress) has an estimated collection of a staggering 210 million volumes, so Love and Ron's estimate of 100,000 books is really very conservative.

"No one knows exactly how many books Hogwarts has." A voice suddenly sounded, startling the foursome who were looking at the bookshelf in a daze.

The person who suddenly appears is Lady Irma Pins of the Hogwarts Librarian, an emaciated old woman who looks like a malnourished vulture.

She ignored the four Loves, and said to herself: "The ordinary area, the forbidden book area, and ...... Who knows how many books there are? Even I've been working here for half my life, but I only know a little bit about the ordinary area and the forbidden book area. ”

It can be seen that Madame Pince regrets that she does not have a complete grasp of the Hogwarts Library's collections. Compared to the previous librarian, she does have a little less authority.

After sighing, Mrs. Pince finally had the time to deal with the four little wizards in front of her.

Seeing their immature faces, Mrs. Pince realized that they were all freshmen this year, so she cleared her throat and explained the rules of the library to the four of them very seriously: "Please note that noise, eating, drinking, and the use of spells with a wide range of influence are forbidden in the library. If you scratch, tear, fold, stain, damage, throw, fall, or otherwise damage, abuse, or desecrate the Library's collections, I will expose you to the most terrible consequences within my power. ”

A very reasonable request, and the four of them nodded their heads to show that they understood.

Seeing that the new little wizard had such a good attitude, Mrs. Pince's tone softened.

"So what are you here for, do you have any books to borrow?" She asked. With her help, the time of these little wizards can be greatly saved. Because even if there is a clear mark, it is extremely difficult to find the book you want from so many books, and if you accidentally stumble into the forbidden area, you may even get into trouble.

"We're from Xi." Love didn't have any books he wanted to borrow, they just wanted to find a clean answer to read for a while.

"In this way, go to the left and go to the end, there is a special place for everyone to study on their own, it is very clean, and the lighting is good." Mrs. Pince arranged a good place for them to study on their own.

Now that the school has just started, there are very few people in the library, and you can choose from a variety of excellent locations. It would be nice to come back at the end of the mid-term, when there would be an empty seat.

After Love had thanked Mrs. Pins, he went with his friends in the direction she had instructed.

As it turned out, Mrs. Pince had chosen a good place for them, and the desks were located in the corners of the library, and few people would pass by them, so as to reduce unnecessary interruptions. There is also a window behind the desk, and the outside light shines through the glass, which solves the problem of lighting.

Love just took one look and fell in love with it.

The desks in the library are also distinctive, the kind of heavy solid wood tables, with wooden planks that run along the eaves to the floor, forming an enclosed structure surrounded on three sides, and even if a person squats inside, the outside cannot be seen.

The four of them sat down one after another, opened their schoolbags and took out the books to read.

Sure enough, as stated in the system, Ron couldn't calm down to read, he kept moving around like a child with ADHD, distracting the others.

"Love, did you copy Professor McGonagall's words?"

"Harry, do you have a pen with you?"

"Harry, look, this picture is funny!"

……

Due to his interference, the growth rate of Love's proficiency has indeed slowed down a lot. However, for the sake of his ability to contribute a number of academic points from time to time, Love also admitted it, but Hermione was annoyed by the broken-mouthed Ron.

She glared at Ron viciously, saying you either shut up or get as far as you can - she regretted it so much, why would she invite this guy to study with her? It's dizzy!

Ron closed his mouth and grimaced at Harry. A little boy of this age, who was pointed at his nose and scolded in the back, was quite unbearable, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of Hermione.

After Hermione's frenzy, Ron did quiet down. But looking at his eyes, he was obviously not concentrating on his studies, and his mind didn't know where to go. This is also normal, after all, it has just started school, and there is no pressure to study at all. Not only Ron, but even Harry became lazy after reading the book for a while, and he pushed the book forward, leaning back in his chair and stunned.

Seeing this, Love sighed secretly: the two of them didn't seem to get along very well with him, and there was no need to force them to study with him in the future.

As Harry and Ron were bored, a sound of footsteps caught their attention, and they looked up to see a red-haired girl walking through the shelves with a stack of books.

"Is that your relative?" Harry instinctively thought he was a member of the Weasley family at the sight of the red hair, but Ron shook his head and said he had never seen this guy before.

When Harry saw the red-haired girl, the red-haired girl spotted them as well. When she saw who was sitting in the corner of the library, she walked straight to this place.

The red-haired girl came to the table occupied by the four of Love, snapped the book in her arms on the table, and said with a smile, "Hey, are you coming to the library on the first day of school?" Are you really Gryffindors? ”

Love didn't even raise his head: "Aren't you the same, go to the library on the first day, Sister Faxxie!" ”
