Chapter 49: Manuscripts from Five Thousand Years Ago

"So that Harry Potter really became the Seeker of your house?" Faulcy casually placed a tome on Love's desk and asked him for news.

Harry was chosen by Wood as a Seeker, and was considered by Wood to be Gryffindor's top secret, and no one was allowed to pass it on. However, it is well known that in the UK when something is classified as "top secret", it is not far from being leaked. Wood's idea is good, let Harry be the killer of the Gryffindor team, and come in when playing against other houses, to a surprise effect,

However, this idea was too difficult to implement in practice, not to mention that Harry would have to train with the Gryffindor team in the future, and it was impossible to keep it a secret just because there were so many witnesses present at the time. At least half of the Gryffindor House students have seen it, how can it be kept secret? And is there any point in keeping this secret? It can only be taken by surprise in the first game.

So Wood: It's a complete secrecy of no meaning! For these reasons, Love hadn't even considered the option of keeping a secret for Wood and Harry.

It's just that Faulksie wants to gossip from him, and it's impossible not to pay a price.

So Love looked at Faulcy with a blank face, saying that this involved the secrets of Gryffindor House, which he would stay in for seven years, and was his second home! So, in exchange for the same price, Foxie needs to answer Love's question before Love tells her what Fox wants to know.

"Yes, just ask, any question - even what color my underwear is today, I can tell you." Faulksi is very cheerful, and like a search engine, she looks like she has to answer all questions.

"I'm not interested in what you're wearing." Love has no interest in this kind of question that cannot be verified, he only wants to ask one thing.

"Why did you read this book? Have you been studying the magic of ancient Egypt lately? Love asked, knocking on the book that Faulcy had placed on his desk.

That book caught Love's attention not because it was very thick, but because the photo on its cover was still.

Finding a still photograph at Hogwarts is just as difficult as finding a moving photograph in the non-wizarding world, so Love takes a closer look at the title of the book and sees that it is a book on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic decryption.

This is very interesting, why did Miss Faucia study ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs? It can't be said to be an after-school favorite, right?

"Yes." Faucie graciously admits that she has recently been trying to translate an ancient Egyptian papyrus manuscript that is supposed to contain a study of lost magic.

"Hogwarts Library actually has this kind of treasure in it?" Love was stunned when he heard the news.

Papyrus, a paper made from the stems of papyrus from the Nile Delta, was born before 3,000 B.C. and was used in Europe until the eighth century—the manuscript is at least a thousand years old, and given that it was written in ancient Egyptian script, it is likely to be several thousand years old. This kind of precious manuscript can be met at a close glance, and Senior Sister Fox can actually take it in her hand and study it carefully! It can only be said that the heritage of Hogwarts is really not covered.

But how is it so familiar that ancient Egyptian artifacts are in libraries in the UK? There is a surprising unanimity between the wizarding and non-magical worlds.

"It's in the forbidden area, and if you want to borrow it, you need the professor's signature." Faulcy pulled out a book made of parchment from her bag.

Ralph:?!

"Don't tell me this is that papyrus manuscript!" Love felt like he was about to crack, and the manuscript, which was thousands of years old, appeared before his eyes without any protection? Hogwarts behaves like a crime—unless they apply magical protection to the manuscript.

In response to Love's question, Faulcy opened the book directly, and yellowed papyri appeared in his eyes, each papyrus was fixed on parchment to keep the paper intact, and considering that the papyrus was extremely well preserved, even the color of the paint had not faded, and Love dared to conclude that Hogwarts had put some kind of protective spell on the book.

"Are there any other papyrus manuscripts in the forbidden section?" Love wondered how many good things Hogwarts had hidden.

"There should be more, but I found this one - this one is enough for me to study, I have only cracked a small half since the beginning of school, and I have been talking about the method of making mummies before." Speaking of this, Fauce panicked: a magic manuscript, why teach people to do crafts?

"Alright, I've answered your question, now it's my turn." Faulcy put both books away, intending to listen to some gossip from Love.

"Your message is accurate, Harry has indeed become our Seeker." Love gave the hammer: "You're in trouble, Harry is really talented. ”

Faulksie whistled and said that she had been unhappy with the guys on the team for a long time, and that you Gryffindors had to teach them a lesson.

"He's also setting a new record, which is the youngest Seeker in a century, and I'd really like to see what he looks like when he plays." Faulksi, a Slytherin, and a Gryffindor like to see Harry on the pitch.

"Speaking of which, would you like to translate this manuscript with me?" Chatting and chatting, Faulksie had an idea and felt that she could grab a coolie to speed up the process, and Love Moen was a very good candidate.

"Don't you need to read your homework?" Love was incredulous, or rather out of place, at Fauce's idleness. Because even for first-year students, a few weeks after the start of school, professors in various disciplines gradually began to encourage them to increase their homework - even people like Ron had to spend weekends making up their homework, and it turned out that Fawke, a fourth-year student, had time to translate how to make ancient Egyptian mummies, which was not magical!

"I've learned the spells in the books, as for the homework, just find a few friends to learn from it, if your eyes are limited to the spells in the books, then you're doomed to have a relatively failed wizarding career." Faulcy waved her hand, not paying any attention to the spells mentioned in the textbook.

"As a happy word, do you want to translate this manuscript with me?" She asked, looking at Love.
