Bride of the HP Dragon

Hermione flipped through the pages of the book, which were yellowed due to age, and frowned at the introduction to the book, which she found from the Hogwarts Library's Old and Rare Magic category.It's a well-stocked assortment that takes up almost a third of the library's west wing.Even with such an extensive collection, she knows from experience that there is always a waiting list for such titles because of their unexpected popularity.

She secretly thought, ancient and rare magic?The upperclassmen always prefer opportunistic spells when they have full freedom to choose their subjects.After all, a Bavarian flaying spell (originally used to treat poultry) can take a lot more effort than a common clean-up or something like that every day.

"Miss Granger, if you don't need any more help, I'm going back to my office for a cup of tea." Mrs. Pince told Hermione, who had been busy browsing and eliminating Hermione's previous The books are back in place.

They worked together to find information about FidaMia on the shelves.Through Mrs. Pince, Hermione learns that Talos Staple's work may be the only book related to it published in 300 years, and that, frustratingly, it reads more like Anecdotes and sideline experiences rather than rigorous research.

Looking at the thick dust accumulated on the small purple book, it was obvious that the previous students did not find exciting and terrible ancient spells in this book.

"I have nothing else to do, thank you." Hermione smiled at the librarian. A fat silverfish tried to escape from the old book. Hermione flicked it off the table and looked at it in vain. Quickly crushed by Mrs. Pince's comfy flats.After the two said goodbye briefly, Pince quickly returned to the office.

Mrs Pince, besides Dumbledore and maybe Remus Lupine, was one of the people in the castle who secretly noticed the significance of Hermione's actions, and Ron was a little less than Harry.

In fact, the Hogwarts librarian may have all the evidence that Audio-Technica violated the school's rules.If Professor Snape, who has been struggling to catch the handle of the Iron Triangle, wants to find conclusive evidence of the suspicious extracurricular activities of these three people, he only needs to look at Hermione's book borrowing records.

This record includes the brewing of complex potions and forbidden spells bordering on illegal.Ron's and Harry's records were completely innocuous by comparison.Hermione is always reluctant to check the restricted area in their name. If Cora Dodd's "The Repair and Maintenance of the Invisibility Cloak" appears in Harry's borrowing record, it will be suspicious in the eyes of a suspicious professor. reason.

Fortunately, Mrs. Pince seems to abide by some of the librarian's codes, which include "not to disclose student loan records to the staff except at the request of an angry potions master".

She might have had a long list of students who concealed destroying books, but over the years, Pince and Hermione had developed an alliance that was mutually comfortable.

Maybe it's because serious librarians are very interested in guessing the trend of the Iron Triangle by tracking Hermione's research results, maybe it's because Pince has some feelings about the lifestyles of these children, and thinking of the possibility of the latter, Hermione couldn't help smiling.

In any case, Hermione was very grateful for Madam Pince's policy of never asking too many questions. Apart from raising a thin eyebrow to Hermione's request for help to find out the contents of "FidaMia", Madam Pince did not respond much.

Hermione flexed her stiff shoulders, then looked around the library.The content she was looking up was spread out in front of her, and it took her almost the entire lunch time.Just seeing it made Hermione's palms sweat, her stomach ache, and her nerves tense.

Hermione was the only reader in the library, aside from two Ravenclaw third-years sitting in the far corner, scribbling on parchment.She was safe and comfortable in a small window cubicle, which she remembered had been her domain in the library during her Hogwarts studies.

This was her corner of the library, a haven she had long used for secret planning.It was impossible to count how many times she, Ron, Harry or Ginny sat at this table, whispering under the cover of a pile of books...

Turning her attention back to the matter at hand, Hermione shook off the sorrow of leaving after graduation like shaking off the rain from her coat, and continued to read.
