"Ivan, after dinner, how about we go back to the dormitory and play some wizard chess?" On Wednesday afternoon, Ron, who had just finished his last class, was in the lounge, gnawing on a chicken leg while asking Ivan incoherently.
Ivan slowly put the last piece of steak into his mouth, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and refused.
"No, I have to go to the library later. You can go play with Harry."
"Harry's chess moves are so terrible, there's not a single challenge at all..." Ron shook his head in disappointment at first, and then, as if he suddenly realized what Ivan said, the chicken leg in his hand fell to the ground.
"Oh my god! The library? I thought there was only one person in the whole grade who went there!"
"Hermione?" Ivan thought for a moment and realized that the only little wizard who ran to the library every day just a few days after school started should be our Miss Know-It-All.
"Yeah, who else but her?" Ron said in an exaggerated tone.
Harry suddenly pulled Ron's shoulder, and Ron realized that Hermione, who was holding a pile of books, was also in the common room. He lowered his voice and said in front of everyone how much Hermione liked to preach and how arrogant she was.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the distance, Hermione did not move and probably did not hear Ron's words.
Harry was also listening there with an awkward look on his face. He really didn't like this kind of behavior of talking bad about people behind their backs, but the other little wizards were very interested.
It has to be said that within just a few days of the start of school, Miss Granger had become famous in the gossip circle of young wizards for her preachy nature.
Ivan did not participate in the discussion about Hermione, but he was not surprised by the situation.
After all, they are all little wizards of eleven or twelve years old, and no one likes to be lectured in person, especially by a little wizard of the same age.
"Ivan, what are you doing in the library?" Harry asked curiously.
Is it that the brothers are not fun anymore... Pah, is it that the brothers are not nice enough? Or is it that the wizard flag is not fun anymore? Although Ron did not say anything, his eyes clearly showed this.
It's like your friend who makes an appointment with you to play games after school every day, suddenly one day he says he wants to go to the library to study hard after school.
Ivan's mouth twitched.
He didn't want to play the wizard flag, he just wanted to try and see if there were other ways to get academic points.
It's not because the wizard flag is novel and fun...
"Don't you feel that the assignments assigned by professors are getting harder and harder? If you don't work hard now, what will you do at the end of the semester?" Ivan glanced at Harry and sighed after a long while.
Ivan knew that his talent was mediocre and coupled with his poor compatibility with his wand, his spellcasting level was basically in the middle to lower levels among the first-year wizards.
In this case, if you want to improve the evaluation of professors, you have to work hard on the knowledge level.
Improve your knowledge reserves, answer questions regularly, and maybe you can even get some impression points or something.
"Ron, are you coming?" After Ivan finished eating, he packed up his things and said to Ron.
Although Ron's magical talent is better than his, it is only above average at best. Compared with Harry, the gap is still obvious. In addition, Ron himself did not work hard, so he became the weakest one of the iron triangle in the future.
So out of good intentions, Ivan still gave a reminder.
Although Ivan didn't expect Ron to agree...
As expected, Ron shook his head rapidly. "You must be joking. We've only been here for a few days. It's still a long way to the end of the semester. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Forget it..." Ivan didn't care and walked straight towards the library.
"Just wait and see. Ivan will be back in an hour at most. Otherwise, I'll eat the chessboard..." Ron muttered and cursed.
…
The Hogwarts library has the largest and most complete collection of magic books in the UK and even in Europe, ranging from ordinary teaching books to profound forbidden spells and black magic. It has everything!
Ivan, who came to the library for the first time, was also shocked by the huge collection of books. Rows of bookshelves were closely connected together, and each bookshelf contained as many as a thousand magic books, which was much more spectacular than what Ivan had seen in the movies in his previous life.
Perhaps because the school had just started, there were not many little wizards in the library. They were leaning against the bookshelves or in the corridors in groups of three or four, leaving a lot of space in the rest area in the middle.
[Ding, discovered the library...]
The system sound in his mind drew Ivan's attention back. He looked carefully and found that the task of exploring Hogwarts in the task tree had increased by five percentage points at once.
What's more important is that with the increased GPA, it is just enough to get the 100 GPA needed to redeem the Academic Master Experience Card.
Ivan couldn't help but look towards the restricted books area. He could find the magic he was looking for, such as Legilimency and Occlumency, here...
[Ding, the host has obtained secret information, and the task is being generated...
Mission Objective: Explore the library
Current progress: 0/100
Mission introduction: There are always strange noises coming from the library late at night. Even in Hogwarts, where ghosts are everywhere, no ghost dares to go and explore. Please explore and understand them. When the exploration progress reaches a certain level, a certain degree of reward will be given according to performance. ]
"Child, are you looking for some books?" Mrs. Alma Pince, the librarian, came over and asked softly.
"Yes, ma'am, where are the books related to Transfiguration? Preferably the basic ones." Ivan withdrew his gaze from the restricted area and turned to Madam Pince.
Madam Pince was wearing a jet-black robe, which was serious and abstinent. Her slightly thin figure was hidden under the wide robe, outlining her subtle curves.
"Follow me..." Madam Pince directed Ivan to a bookshelf and tried to reach a book on the top shelf without the help of magic.
Her body was tightly wrapped in a black robe, but her graceful curves were still visible.
Ivan couldn't help but look away, watching her breasts swaying slightly with her movements. The tight waist and round, firm buttocks outlined by the fabric made his breath stop.
Madam Pince stood on tiptoe a little, revealing a part of her snow-white calves from under her robe. Ivan imagined the scene of those long legs wrapped around his waist, and his lower body couldn't help but react.
At this moment, Madam Pince used magic to take out a book called "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from the bookshelf and handed it to Ivan. Then she paused and continued.
"You were just reading in the restricted area. Unless you can get authorization from the professors, you are not allowed to read or borrow the relevant books."
"I'm just a little curious, but I don't intend to really go in." Ivan took the book in his hand and shrugged casually.
Ivan had no intention of reading these dangerous forbidden books in the near future. After all, with his current magical foundation, it was not suitable for him to learn these advanced magics.
Anyway, there is still a whole semester left, so I can wait until I have some free time and opportunity to do it...
After Madam Pince finished explaining to Ivan, she turned around and left easily. After all, she still had to keep an eye on those senior wizards. Almost every once in a while, a young wizard would try to break into the restricted book area.
Of course, before leaving, Madam Pince did not forget to remind Ivan that no noise was allowed in the library!
As Madam Pince turned to leave, Ivan couldn't help but notice that the hem of her robe fluttered slightly with her steps, revealing a corner of her ankle and black pointed shoes.
Madam Pince's legs were in great shape, with long, straight calves. Ivan couldn't help wondering how high those legs would extend, and what a sensual sight the curves hidden in the strict robes would be...
"What am I thinking about..." Ivan shook his head and tried to focus on the book in his hand.
After sitting down in the rest area, Ivan did not rush to try out the effect of the academic experience card. Instead, he flipped through the book by himself, planning to read it in a normal state for a while, and then compare to see how many times his learning efficiency can be improved.
Soon the only sound in the lounge was the turning of pages, with the occasional noise from elsewhere interrupting one's thoughts.
