Chapter 4126 Chapter 4128 [Restricted Book Zone]


    After the train arrived at the station, Xiang Nan and others got off the train, and then took a carriage to Hogwarts.


    All the way to the auditorium, which has been decorated.


    Everyone sat down according to their respective colleges, and then waited for the sorting ceremony of the new students.


    ?The sorting ceremony was held soon, and Sirius''s younger brother Regulus was sorted into Slytherin as expected.


    Xiang Nan sighed, knowing that history is not that easy to change.


    After the sorting ceremony, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner and then returned to their respective colleges to rest.


    During this period, Dumbledore also introduced to the students the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Frances Fabian, a female professor from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France.


    The next day, the new semester officially begins.


    In the new semester, elective courses have been added, so the number of subjects per week has increased to twenty-three, with an average of nearly five classes a day. For the third grade students, it was really a bit nervous.


    But for Xiang Nan, he can handle these lessons with ease.


    Not only does he perform well in class, but he also completes his homework very well after class, and is often welcomed by teachers.


    But Xiang Nanzhi is not here. As early as the first grade, he was not satisfied with what he learned in the classroom and books, and started studying on his own.


    Now that he is in third grade, he has read through all the books on potions, spells, herbal medicines, defense against the dark arts, etc. in the library, except for the restricted book section.


    During the summer vacation, he also read a lot of forbidden books from the Room of Requirement and Filch''s office, and gained a lot of dangerous and forbidden knowledge.


    ?Now as he continued to read through his collection, he began to think of books in the restricted area.


    …


    ??In fact, the restricted book area of ??the Hogwarts Library is not difficult to enter. It is at the back of the library and is only separated from the normal area by a rope.


    ?There is no magic on this rope, so even a first-year student can cross it, but only if the librarian, Mrs. Pince, doesn''t discover it.


    ?Mrs. Pince is a very serious person. If she finds a student trespassing in the restricted book area, she will immediately arrest him without hesitation.


    ??Of course, if she is not discovered, then you can freely enter and exit the restricted book area. In "Harry Potter and the Philosopher''s Stone", after Harry got the Invisibility Cloak, he sneaked into the forbidden area at night.


    Xiang Nan also has an invisibility cloak. Although it is not as good as Harry''s, it is not easy to be discovered. What''s more, he can also perform Druid transformation and escape from the earth.


    So it was not difficult at all for him to go to the restricted book section.


    On the second night after Xiang Nan returned to Hogwarts, he quietly came to the restricted book section of the library.


    There are quite a lot of books in the restricted book area, and most of them are so old that the gilded letters on the spines have peeled off, and there are even books without names.


    ?In addition, there are some books that exude a dangerous atmosphere. For example, there are faint whispers coming from a book, as if there is a person sealed in the book.


    The cover of one book is covered with dark brown bloodstains, as if it had been soaked in blood; another book is entangled with traces of black air, which makes people shudder at the first glance... But Xiang Nan is brave and is not so easily scared. arrive.


    He first chose a copy of "Powerful Potion", took it to the Room of Requirement, locked Fenrir again, and then started reading.


    "Powerful Potions" records a large number of dangerous and taboo potions, such as polyjuice potion, fear potion, rage potion, demon potion, etc.


    The polyjuice potion can turn a person into another person, which can last for an hour; the fear potion can make people fall into endless fear, which can easily lead to a mental breakdown; the rage potion can make people fall into a frantic and violent state, which is extremely aggressive. Power; the devil''s potion can stimulate the evil thoughts hidden in people''s hearts and make people fall into corruption...


    ?These potions are quite terrifying, and they are also very difficult to brew. A mistake in one step may lead to very serious consequences. It is no wonder that they are placed in the restricted book area.


    …


    Xiang Nan didn''t put "Powerful Potion" back into the forbidden book area until he saw the sky was getting brighter. At night, after the library is closed, he will secretly take it out and read it again.


    The reason why it is so troublesome is to prevent someone from borrowing this book from the restricted book area and finding that the book has been stolen. In that case, he might be exposed.


    In fact, the books in the restricted area are not not allowed to be read by students, but are not allowed to be read by students in lower grades. Schools worry that their exposure to dangerous and taboo knowledge at such a young age may lead them astray.


    ?Just like the American movie rating system, some movies contain bad language, violence, gore, and **** scenes and are not suitable for children to watch, so they will be classified as R-rated.


    Senior students can borrow books from the restricted area with the professor''s approval slip.


    ?For example, in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", in order to help Harry find a way to breathe in water, Hermione read through the books in the restricted area with the approval of Professor McGonagall. When she was in sixth grade, she read through the books in the restricted area again in order to find the secret of the Horcrux.


    So Xiang Nan doesn’t want to take risks. He secretly read the book at night and quietly returned it in the morning. In this way, although it is more troublesome, it is safer.


    …


    Time flies to the end of October.


    Xiang Nan and others have learned throwing spells, talking spells, nonsense potions, intermediate transformation spells, etc. They have also learned how to deal with dark magical creatures such as Kabbah and Little Red Riding Hood, and have learned about magical animals such as the Bowtruckle and the Niffler.


    It is worth mentioning that the current Care of Magical Creatures course is taught by Silvanus Kettleburn. After he resigned from this position in 1993, Hagrid took over.


    Professor Kettleburn is very senior and has held this teaching position for more than 40 years. Like Hagrid, he also loves dangerous magical animals. The more dangerous it is, the more interesting it is to him.


    ??Furthermore, like Hagrid, his character is also a bit reckless, so during the years he served as a teacher, he successively lost an arm and half a leg.


    So when they took the Care of Magical Creatures class for the first time and saw Professor Kettleburn only half a person left, many students began to regret taking this class.


    ?But fortunately, Professor Kettleburn’s interests are interests, and teaching is teaching. Although he likes dangerous magical animals, he still has a good idea when teaching.


    Not as reckless as Hagrid, who taught the dangerous Hippogriff in the first lesson. Professor Kettleburn started with magical animals with a low risk factor, such as Niffler, Fluffy, Squirtle, Bowtruckle and so on.


    The most popular among the students are Xiu Xiu and Pu Rong Rong.


    ?Girls generally like cattails, thinking they are fluffy and very cute. But boys prefer Niffler because it has the instinct to hunt for treasure and can dig out jewelry and coins buried in the soil.
