Every Saturday, the number of students in the Hogwarts library increases.
These students of all grades, they go between the bookshelves, trying to find materials, in order to complete this week's course essay.
Of course, not so for Matthew Wickfield.
Because the course essays he needed to submit this week were all completed on Friday night, there was no burden in this regard.
But now, he still shuttles between the bookshelves, searching for something.
"Matthew." Hermione Granger put down the quill in her hand. She walked up to Matthew and asked softly, "What are you looking for?"
Matthew and Hermione are neighbors at the Broken Cauldron Bar, and they also had the experience of getting along on the Hogwarts Express. In addition, they have met in the library many times recently, and they are already familiar with each other. .
"I'm looking for books about vampires." Matthew replied softly.
He also deliberately kept his voice very low, otherwise it would be bad if Mrs. Pins heard it because of being too noisy.
After all, Mrs. Pince, the administrator of the library, is known for her bad temper.
"A vampire?" Hermione's face showed a smug look: "You finally found... Professor Troca..."
"Hush!" Matthew shook his head quickly and let out a soft hiss.
"Wait!" Hermione swished almost in the blink of an eye, and disappeared.
But not long after, she came back again, holding a huge old book in her hand.
"To..." She handed the book to Matthew.
"This is?" Matthew was taken aback.
"This is what I got from Professor Flitwick in order to complete the thesis of Professor Rozier." Hermione said with a bit of ostentation, "Under normal circumstances, this book can only be banned. Find it! Take it, this book will definitely help you. There is absolutely no more detailed description of vampires in the library!"
"Books in the restricted book zone..." Matthew lowered his head and took a closer look at this huge book.
"If you continue to make loud noises, I will drive you out of here!" A vicious voice came from behind them.
There is no doubt that it is Mrs. Pince, the administrator of the library.
She was holding the feather duster in her hand, waving it, and shouting angrily at Matthew and Hermione.
Matthew and Hermione were so scared that they both apologized and fled.
……
The restricted book area is a special part of the library, which is usually not open to the public.
At the same time, any book in the restricted area must have the consent of a teacher and a note signed by him.
Professor Flitwick is the most amiable of the deans of the four colleges. Ravenclaw students want to get such a note from him, as long as they have sufficient reasons, it will be easy.
Slytherin Dean Horace Slughorn also looks very kind, but that is limited to certain special students. Although Matthew is also quite "loved" by Slughorn, he also thinks he hasn't reached that level...so he never asked Professor Slughorn to mention anything about the restricted area. .
With the huge book Hermione gave him, he came to a corner of the library, and he began to look carefully.
This book mainly introduces those powerful and magical creatures that can endanger the safety of wizards, such as vampires, werewolves, eight-eyed giant spiders and so on.
Because the description is very detailed, and some of the illustrations are extremely hideous, it may cause great harm to the young wizard's body and mind...It will be placed in the forbidden book area.
Matthew quickly turned to the chapter about vampires...
There is no doubt that what Hermione said is right. The level of detail in the description of the characteristics of vampires in this book far exceeds that of the textbook and the information Matthew had previously consulted.
After skipping the more familiar parts, Matthew quickly found some useful content
"Blood is a must for vampires, and it must be the blood of living creatures. Every vampire must make sure to take fresh blood three times a week, otherwise it will be a serious state of neurological decadence; long time no contact Fresh blood can even cause death."
"Blood leaving the organism for a period of time, or fake blood products (such as lollipops), although it can temporarily satisfy the vampire's desire for blood, it cannot have the same effect as fresh blood!"
"Some vampires have special hobbies for blood, and some well-known vampires, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will use some blood magic to achieve their additional purpose..."
"For example, the famous Hungarian vampire Elizabeth Bartoli, of course, her more familiar name is'Ms. Camilla'. She constantly the blood of young girls, and bathes them with the blood of young girls to achieve an eternal youthful appearance. ... According to rumors, at least 51 local Muggle girls were brutally murdered by her before 1611."
"At the same time, there are some vampires who are tired of the blood of Muggles and ordinary animals... They think that sucking the blood of higher-level creatures can enhance their power..."
"Those vampires who try to reach young wizards are called'butcher vampires' in history. But as early as the nineteenth century, in order to fight against these'butcher vampires', some wizards formed a'vampire hunter' organization. Destroy them all."
"There are also some vampires who have extended their claws to high-level magical creatures. For example, in the 17th century, a vampire Robert Kaplan who moved to Australia tried to the blood of a Chinese fireball dragon, but could not bear the blood of the dragon. The toxicity of his death eventually."
"But there is no evidence that vampires are more effective than sucking the blood of high-level magical animals or wizards than sucking the blood of muggles or ordinary animals..."
……
Matthew's gaze swept across the masses of text, and then bit by bit turned the vampire content to the last page.
While watching, he paused, thinking about something...
Soon, he finished reading the content related to vampires.
Matthew casually glanced at the title of the next part:
"Dreammon!"
