Hogwarts becomes host

The smell of the Hogwarts library.

Elaine remembered the smell because she always spent a lot of time in the library with Hermione.

As long as it is a library, there will be the smell of books.

If it were a Muggle library, the smell would be a mixture of the plant fiber smell of paper, the smell of printing ink, and the smell of camphor, moxa leaves, etc. that were kept to protect the books.

But the wizard library is different, because wizards still use parchment, and it is not industrial parchment made of chemical wood pulp and rag pulp. It is made of real sheepskin─if it is golden, can shed its skin, and can fly. The sheep can also be considered as sheep.

The Golden Fleece in Greek mythology seems to refer to this magical animal.

Therefore, the wizard library smelled completely different from the Muggle library. There was no paper smell, but a special, warm, sunny smell of leather, which left a deep impression on Elaine.

She can probably understand why Hermione likes the smell of new parchment. Maybe she should buy a golden sheep as a gift, but she heard that this kind of sheep is very difficult to raise. Not only will it fly around, but it also likes to eat tender and fresh leaves. Without paying attention, they fled into the forest and hid.

If you want to keep a cat, it’s better to keep a cat. Crookshanks is more obedient.

The air also smells of musty, damp and dust mixed together.

It's strange, Mrs. Pince always spends a lot of time cleaning, it shouldn't smell like this.

Elaine opened her eyes while thinking wildly, and found that she was not lying on the soft four-poster bed in the Gryffindor dormitory, but on the cold ground that was very hard even if there was a quilt.

Not far away, Harry was sitting on a chair, holding a large book about the size of a brick with a sad face and reading aloud. Adair's phantom was opposite him, crossing his legs and closing his eyes, as if he was enjoying the music leisurely. Zi Zi, there were several house elves lying on the ground beside him, engrossed in writing.

What's going on

"Oh, you're awake." Adair ordered directly without looking back. "When you wake up, go check the house elf's draft. It will be used after school starts. It needs to be bound and copied quickly."

"What is it?" Elaine picked up a piece of parchment filled with writing and read it. "As mentioned above, spells are the most basic way to use magic. Gestures and spells are used to give specific and solidified concepts of the use of magic. Although It facilitates the practice of those little wizards who are new to magic, but it will deprive them of their imagination of magic. However, it is very helpful for those mediocre wizards. This is Slytherin's private note. You use your body without permission, just for this."

"Anyway, you're not using it." Adair said confidently, "There are a lot of precious documents that have been lost or exclusive, as well as Slytherin's personal opinions and records. Of course, you have to interpret them early. This is very good. A bargaining chip."

"So you kidnapped Harry and brought him here"

Elaine looked at the aggrieved Harry and even thought about what good thing Adair had done with her knees.

However, she didn't know that Adair was more exaggerated than she thought.

"What kidnapping? Potter came here voluntarily." Adair said with a smile. "This is for the sake of all Hogwarts students, for the wizarding world, and for defeating Voldemort. Of course he is willing to sacrifice his leisure time to translate Snake." He speaks out for the sake of justice─and it’s not like he can’t learn something from it.”

"I don't think he can learn anything from these books." Elaine laughed. She had been a teacher with Hermione for a year. She still didn't know Harry's learning status. "Practical demonstrations are more useful for Harry. You Forcing him to read these will only make him more confused."

Harry nodded violently and was forced to recite for more than six hours. He didn't feel that he had learned anything. His head was so swollen that it was about to explode. Even though he knew that this thing was very useful, he just couldn't understand it, as if he was talking on the Internet. It would be nice if Hermione was here in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

"Oh." Adair replied without changing his expression. "So what"

"I mean, if you want to strengthen Harry, you should use other methods."

"His strength is none of my business. His surname is not Shafiq."

"Please, can you stop being so egotistical." Elaine said with a headache, "Harry is the key to defeating Voldemort─"

"But no matter whether he is dead or alive, Voldemort will die. His death will make things easier. If Dumbledore hadn't requested it, I would have sent him to accompany Lily." Adair's words were very cold. But the coldest thing should be that he still had an elegant smile on his face, even though Harry was right in front of him, "It's what you should do to increase your strength. If he doesn't want to work hard, why should I worry about him unless you get along with him?" Yes, if he marries Shafiq’s family, I——”

"Okay, shut up and die."

"I am already dead."

"Then it looks like a dead person. If you don't know what a real dead person is, please be like Professor Binns or Bloody Barrow. I beg you, shut up."

"Uh, I don't mind." Harry, who was listening, put away his thoughts of escaping for a relaxing vacation and raised his hand to express his opinion. "Well, reading is actually quite interesting. I can read it for a while. Anyway, I have nothing to do during the holidays."

"It's best if you look away." Elaine said helplessly, "As for me, I still have a lot of things to do outside——"

"The only thing you should do now is to read and check these documents and convert them into your own strength. Don't say I didn't remind you that you don't have much time to relax. If you continue to be distracted like this, you will die. "

"I know, but I want to find someone to help." Elaine has been dealing with Adair's orders for a while, and she knows exactly what to do. In fact, it's almost the same as dealing with her girlfriend. She just needs to follow his wishes and put forward suggestions in a tortuous way. That's it, you must not refuse directly, "There are so many books here, Hermione, Daphne and Ron have nothing to do, you can ask them to help─"

"They won't want to help you. Don't think that apologizing is useful." Adair's smile was very meaningful, but Elaine didn't notice it. "Moreover, no matter how many people come, only Potter can translate. You will still die." Don’t worry, the gifts have been smashed, do you have any new ideas?”

Harry wanted very much to tell Elaine what good deed Adair had done, but the murderer was staring at him and laughing, which made him feel scared. He could only act like an ostrich.

"No." Elaine wanted to refute, but the fate of the two music boxes was like a thorn in her heart. In the end, she could only sigh and give up with a bitter taste in her mouth, "Okay, I understand."

Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to wait for a while and let the two of them calm down, Elaine thought.

She picked up the parchment on the ground, while the house elf hurriedly moved tables, chairs and stationery to facilitate her work.

"Speaking of which, what is the inheritance of Slytherin?" After a while, perhaps unable to bear the boring article and Harry's rigid reading voice, Elaine finally couldn't help but speak. "With just these books I thought this was the Ravenclaw library."

"Did you make something wrong?" Adair glanced at her. "The four founders, whether they are Gryffindor, Slytherin, or even Hufflepuff, all value knowledge equally, so they will work together." Create Hogwarts. Valuing knowledge is not a concept unique to Ravenclaw. It’s just that later idiot students who didn’t have the strength to learn well found excuses saying that only Ravenclaw valued knowledge.”

""

"Okay, stop for a minute, it seems that you, and many of you, have a misunderstanding about the four founders."

Adair said suddenly, Elaine was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he was on live broadcast.

This is explained to the audience.

"As an orthodox Slytherin, I can tell you that there are very few pure Slytherins nowadays. The number of students who can truly understand and inherit the spirit of the four founders can be counted on their fingers, but who cares? ." Adair shrugged and said, "The four are very great wizards, but life does not require greatness. Their path is not something ordinary people can walk... When you grow up, you will slowly understand , after all, so are you."

"If you have an opinion, just say it." Before Harry could understand, Elaine responded mercilessly. "Don't be so roundabout and hurtful. Don't you think we are fools?"

"No, being willing to be ordinary is a good way. I am not mocking you." Adair said softly, "It is very important to recognize yourself. To achieve miracles, you need to have the corresponding abilities and talents. For mortals, If the burden is too heavy, it is a good thing to give up early, otherwise you will be like the Shafiq family, struggling in pain but getting nothing."

""

"That's a long way off. What Slytherin pursues is power, supreme power, the power to achieve miracles. In order to reach the peak of magic, he can do anything, whether it's black magic or anything else." See Ha Looking at the expressions of Leigh and Elaine, Adair added, "Don't think that dark magic is a bad thing. Gryffindor is also proficient in dark magic. Do you really think that he relied on Muggle fighting skills to become a top dueling wizard?"

"Slytherin admires pure blood, not simply because Muggles are inferior, but because he believes that magic is too profound and requires a lot of time and energy to study and pass on. It is difficult for wizards of Muggle origin to do this, unlike Muggles. It’s not a good thing to be too deeply involved in melons. People’s hearts are greedy, especially for things they don’t have.”

"Perhaps you think that Slytherin's spirit is pure-blood supremacy and selfishness. In fact, we just insist on and persevere in what we think is right, and then do whatever it takes to accomplish it. Pure-blood supremacy is the rumor and rumor of others. Overinterpretation─”

Having said this, he suddenly stopped and thought carefully.

"──However, the people who spread these rumors are all people from Slytherin House, and Voldemort is the descendant of Slytherin, so it becomes like this. To a certain extent, it probably can't be wrong."

"But Slytherin is different from the other founders. He wants to exclude Muggle-born students." Harry frowned and said, "Slytherin wants to implement a stricter admissions policy and only pure-blood students can enter the school. This disagreement eventually led him to leave school, you can't deny that"

"You didn't listen to me carefully, Potter." Adair snorted, "It is difficult for Muggle-born wizards to study pure magic. Since their chances of creating achievements are lower than other students, why should they occupy the minority education? Resources Hufflepuff once had great wealth, but she spent all of it on supporting Muggle-born students and lived in poverty. If you were her child, what would you think?"

"Well, that was a great and noble move──"

"The students she cultivated did not repay her selflessness and nobility." Adair made Harry speechless. At the same time, he raised his hand to stop Elaine from speaking. "I know what you are going to say. Slytherin is hated. That's it, we always value our own lives and goals more than other people's; the problem is that the resources and human abilities in this world are limited, only the human heart is unlimited. Potter can't understand this, you It’s impossible that you don’t understand, so how do you want to refute it?”

"What I want to say is, let's talk about something else. I'm not interested in the characteristics of Slytherin." Elaine laughed a few times and pointed at the books in the room. "Compared with those, I want to know what's inside this." Is there any particularly powerful magic, such as Slytherin’s special skills, untold secrets or treasures, etc.”

"No."

"Not sure about you"

"I won't let you learn it." Adair's tone was just like the current temperature, very cold, very cold. "What dissatisfaction do you have with the inheritance of the Shafiq family?"

""

"You haven't fully understood the magic of music, so you want to learn the inheritance of Slytherin. If I remember correctly, you are a Gryffindor. What, you are planning to change houses."

"I'm just curious"

"If you have time to be curious, it is better to read more, listen more, study more seriously, and stop pursuing some inexplicable magic spells or skills. You can't even practice the exchange of reality and reality, and you can't properly control your magic power. If you want to learn other The inheritance of the family must be defeated by me first."

"Others can learn from it," Elaine quickly defended as Adair was about to raise his wand.

"Those children are different from you. They don't have enough magic power. Even if they know powerful spells, they can't cast them." Adair said disdainfully, "It doesn't matter how many spells she knows. Like Granger, her knowledge will change." If her combat power is not enough, instead of thinking about unrealistic things, it is better to read more theories and practice the skills of using magic. This is the most basic thing."

"Then what's the point of me translating this?" Harry complained softly. “I feel like I can’t help.”

"Haha, isn't this your favorite great, noble, and selfless act?" Adair said with a deliberately shocked expression. "These lost magic records and knowledge can benefit so many researchers. How could it be useless? Do you know how much effort the International Union of Wizards has spent on digging up those lost ancient magics?"
