Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Night Tour
After leaving Professor Flitwick's office, Alvin walked toward the library, thinking about the content of the conversation while walking. Helped him a lot and showed him the way forward.
Magic is never a spell that can be summed up by chanting a spell and waving a wand.
Magic is mysterious, and many wizards know it but don't know why. Can use magic spells, but do not understand their nature.
Of course, the purpose of Hogwarts has never been to train some elite wizards, but to the entire British wizarding world, so generally speaking, professors will not talk about these things.
Only when the little wizard asked, did the professors reveal more profound things. Others, just need to know how to use them.
And now Alvin decided to study the essence of magic and explore more secrets, so he decided to start studying ancient runes.
Coming to the library, Alvin met the librarian, Mrs. Pince, who was a very serious witch.
Books are his life. His eagle-like eyes glanced left and right among the crowd in the library from time to time.
As long as anyone dares to flip through books rudely, or make a loud noise, they will immediately receive her cold gaze.
Alvin walked in and found a copy of "Introduction to Ancient Runes" in the general area. This is a textbook for third grade and will continue to be used in fifth grade.
For the current Alvin, it is enough.
Then, he found a place to read quietly. It was not until dinner that he reluctantly put the book on the shelf and walked out of the library.
"It looks like it's time to buy a copy, otherwise every time you come to the library to read a book, it will affect the efficiency too much."
"But you can't use Fury, it's too eye-catching. Go to the owl post office to borrow an owl. But you can't stop now. It seems that there will be a night tour at night."
Alvin muttered as he walked. I plan to come back to the library to read a book at night.
As for the school rules?
Sorry, as a fraternity heir, Alvin's purpose is that as long as no one sees me breaking school rules, it's the perfect night out.
Coming to the auditorium, Alvin found that Cho was already there and took their place for him.
Alvin sat down, and soon, the plate in front of him was full of food, three or four times that of Cho next to him. piled up as high as a hill.
With a puff, Cho laughed.
"Alvin, why are you so hungry?"
"You know, reading is very exhausting. I just came out of the library."
Alvin filled his mouth with food and answered Cho vaguely.
"As expected of Ravenclaw's little genius, you got Ravenclaw's first bonus point of the school year."
Cho laughed, but he still carefully brought a glass of juice for Alvin to prevent him from choking.
Alvin rolled his eyes. He didn't care about Cho's teasing. Enjoyed dinner diligently.
After leaving the auditorium, Cho didn't have class at night, so she and a few female classmates returned to the waiting room to play wizard chess.
The hard-working Alvin has to go to the Astronomy Tower to take Astronomy classes.
Astronomy classes in the wizarding world are no different from astronomy classes in the Muggle world.
They all use telescopes to observe the sky and learn the trajectories of different stars, which is not magic at all.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Alvin, who was dizzy looking at the stars, returned to his bedroom, threw himself directly on the bed, and rested.
"No, I can't be so decadent, I still have to go to the library."
Alvin sat up suddenly, shook his head, and forced himself to cheer up. Learn to cast spells without sticks as soon as possible, and get an extra card one day earlier.
Most wizards were sheep that could be slaughtered without their wands. Whether it is sliced, rinsed, or skewered and grilled can only depend on the taste of the enemy.
Alvin didn't want to leave himself such a big weakness for the enemy to attack, so he had to master the wandless spellcasting as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, Alvin decided to leave now, and it is estimated that there will be no one in the lounge.
After tidying up, Alvin cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself, walked out of the dormitory, and came to the common room.
Alvin breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that there was no one in the common room. After all, there are still many little eagles who like to read books and see them late.
Go out of the lounge door and into the hallway. Alvin walked gently towards the library, he didn't want to touch Filch and his cat.
One person and one cat are like ghosts in this castle, wandering around at night, looking for students who violate school rules.
I went to the library and picked up the book I read in the afternoon. After hesitating for a while, Alvin decided to go to the forbidden book area to browse.
After all, the forbidden book area is relatively far inside, so if someone comes to inspect it, it can be hidden immediately.
Coming to the corner of the forbidden book area, Alvin took out his wand, released the wand-lighting spell, and then set the wand aside and read with relish.
This book is indeed very suitable for him now. Ancient Runes are all magical words, and the analysis of each word can be written into a book as an explanation.
This book is a brief introduction to the application and analysis of several basic runes.
And Alvin needs this kind of book on the nature of magic to improve his background.
at the same time.
"Fool George, run fast, I'll laugh at you for a semester if Filch catches us because of you."
"Stupid Fred, I was setting a big trap just now, let's go, let's run towards the library."
A pair of red-haired twins were running down the hallway, dodging Filch's pursuit.
But there was not a trace of worry on their faces, they all smirked after the prank was successful. Running and joking. Gradually approached the library.
. . . . . .
At the same time, Alvin's ears moved, and he recovered from his immersive reading.
"Anyone here?" Alvin tilted his head in thought, his hands constantly moving.
After extinguishing the light on his wand, he cast a disillusionment spell on himself, put the book back in place, and walked out of the library.
Then, he saw the Weasley twins, who were running and playing, running towards him. There was also a roar from a Hogwarts administrator from behind,
"I know you, I know you're right ahead, don't let me catch you! I'm going to put you in confinement! A semester of confinement!"
Alvin: ...
At this time, Alvin's head hurt a little, but he didn't expect that someone would bring the devil into the village, bah, he brought Filch to the library.
He did all kinds of calculations and never imagined that his perfect night tour plan would be disrupted by these two rascals.
But he didn't mean to help either. The twins are already in the third grade this year, and they have already gained experience with Filch, so they don't need anyone's help at all.
Anyway, I can't read the book anymore, why don't I watch the play here?
