The days at Hogwarts

It looked like a very old anatomy book. Loren flipped through a few pages and put it down.

Modern anatomy is more fully developed, and if Flamel only had this knowledge, perhaps he should go to a Muggle medical school instead of reading outdated anatomy books on his own.

Flamel continued, "Nico believes that this is also the way to interpret the mysteries of wizard magic. But the wizarding world is smaller and more narrow than the Muggle world. Even if he is a master of alchemy, he would be regarded as an evil dark wizard if he made such remarks. So he didn't study it any further..."

"This is the path you'll have to take in the future. Have you really thought it through?" Flamel said this with a strange look in his eyes. I really wanted to get some answers from him.

The magical world is like the society before the Renaissance and the liberation of thought, but they have extremely high productivity, so they do not have the conditions for any reform.

But Loren didn't care about this stupidity at all.

"Of course." Loren grinned.

Dinner time, at the Gryffindor table.

The savior of Hufflepuff, Harry Potter, seemed to have lost his soul, and his body mechanically stuffed food into his mouth.

Today, Dumbledore suddenly found him and the two had a conversation. The headmaster cruelly destroyed his dream of living with Sirius.

But this time Dumbledore did not play the role of Riddler to fool him, but explained it to him very considerately.

"Your mother left a talisman of love on you. Only blood ties can maintain the power of the talisman..."

The power of the amulet can protect him from Voldemort, and he must live with the Dursleys.

Thinking about what Dumbledore said, and then thinking about the time when he faced Quirrell, he would never have been able to escape if it weren't for the power left by his mother.

Harry was not in a bad mood at all, but just annoyed. He even did not look forward to the end-of-year party tomorrow.

Loren and Hermione were sitting next to him.

While eating, Loren suddenly asked, "What color do you like?"

Hermione answered subconsciously: "Lavender."

"Oh."

Hermione didn't think much about it. She was thinking about the books and her mind was not on the food in front of her. She took a bite and looked at Professor McGonagall in the guest of honor seat.

"Does Professor McGonagall look appetizing?" Loren wondered.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll go find Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Pince later. Go to the library and empty the books out of the boxes. The sooner the better."

Loren nodded.

I'm familiar with night visits to the library.

……

Summer nights always seem quieter, perhaps because the crickets and other unknown insects chirping too loudly, making the castle even quieter.

Loren pushed open the door of the library, and the creaking sound of the loose-leaf pages became more obvious in the dark library.

He took an oil lamp from the shelf and lit it up. The box was placed near the window during the day so it could be seen at a glance.

Loren picked up the box and dumped all the books out.

"Wow"

"Wow"

The messy and dirty books piled up into a small mountain on the table.

Loren frowned when he saw the pile of books, not satisfied. "When Madam Pince comes in later, she will definitely scold us when she sees this."

He remembered Professor Flitwick's test question in which he asked the pineapple to dance, and got an idea.

The magic wand was like a symphony conductor's baton, waving continuously and drawing beautiful trajectories.

The books piled up randomly seemed to come to life. They stood up, moved their four corners and jumped, as if they were moving their limbs.

Then several books of different sizes were lined up and laid side by side, and the remaining books jumped to the side of these books and lay down according to their own sizes, occasionally bending over to align them.

When the thick books have been piled up and it is no longer possible to lie on top of them, the remaining books will start to run and then jump, stacking themselves on top.

Soon, the messy books were turned into neat stacks after some arrangement.

A smile appeared on Loren's face, and he was very satisfied with his control over magic.

After the Quirrell incident, his magical powers experienced a large burst of growth, and occasionally his spells became overly powerful.

Thanks to the repeated drawing of magic runes, this delicate operation allowed him to control magic power more easily.

"...books...will definitely be helpful to some of the students..." Hermione's faint voice came from outside the door.

"Crunch."

"Loren has already moved the books in."

The sound of the door being pushed open and Hermione's clear voice were heard at the same time.

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Pince came in one after another and immediately saw Loren holding the oil lamp.

"Good evening, Professor McGonagall, Madam Pince." Loren greeted with a smile.

Madam Pince looked at the dust on the ground, her face darkened, and she walked quickly to the neatly stacked books and started flipping through them.

Professor McGonagall looked Loren over, but Loren just smiled at her, with no clear result, and turned her attention to the pile of books.

Madam Pince's sullen expression softened as she flipped through the pages of each book, looking at a few pages before putting them down, quickly sorting the books in her mind.

"I still want to know where these books came from." Professor McGonagall said slowly.

Hermione was a little anxious, "Professor McGonagall, we agreed to keep it a secret."

"If there were only a dozen or dozens of books, I wouldn't have to ask about the source, but this is too many." Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione's anxious expression, paused, and explained, "The Board of Directors may use this to check the finances of Hogwarts."

She seized on the loophole of old Crabbe and put pressure on the school board to implement a series of Hogwarts autonomous governance measures. Now is the time to argue with the school board, and the school board must not be allowed to seize the opportunity to fight back.

Every donation from alumni must be recorded in the source. Otherwise, the board of directors can use the opportunity of auditing the finances to postpone these matters to the next school year, or even forever.

"These books...we..." Hermione was speechless. She couldn't explain clearly and her eyes turned red with anxiety.

Seeing Hermione becoming more and more anxious, Loren walked forward and put his hand on Hermione's back to calm the little girl down.

He said, "Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore knows where these books came from, and he will give a normal source."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, her eyes fell on the worn-out books, and finally nodded in agreement.

Madam Pince then said angrily, "You're organizing the books all wrong. Is the only thing you can see about the size of the books?"

Her expression had changed to one of joy.

Madam Pince swung her wand in a circle, and several wooden boards quickly flew out from the depths of the library and spliced ​​together to form a bookshelf.

The neatly stacked books began to open in half, and the pages on both sides flapped like wings, flying to the bookshelf. According to the subject category, they were parked on different layers.

Soon there was a new bookshelf in front of them.

Professor McGonagall looked at the bookshelf with a gentle expression, "I will let the prefects inform the students who are interested in borrowing books. They can come to the library to register and borrow books in the next two days."

"You need to talk to Dumbledore as soon as possible."

Chapter 116: Year-end Banquet: Settlement, a harsh settlement!

Night, principal's office.

"…Hermione and Professor McGonagall are discussing some specific regulations in the library right now. That's what's going on." Loren leaned back in his chair, looking very tired.

He told Dumbledore about how they cleared the books out of the Room of Requirement and set up a book corner.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I have read some of the manuscripts and books in it many times, but I never thought of using them to help students who want to learn. Loren, you have a precious heart that is willing to share."

Loren raised his hand and slapped it: "Stop it, this is Hermione's idea, don't brag about it."

Dumbledore didn't care at all about Loren's frivolous tone. He wore crescent-shaped glasses and smiled with his eyes shaped like crescents. "Miss Granger also has a heart of gold. In fact, when most people discover wealth, they tend to monopolize it rather than share it."

"I'm just a little sorry Miss Granger, I may have to write in my report that a friend of mine donated these books."

Loren didn't care about these false reputations, and he believed that Hermione wouldn't care either. He changed the subject and said, "Do you need me to remove Harry's traces as well? He's very unhappy about going back to the Dursleys for the holidays."

If he could cast a spell, Harry might be able to do it much easier.

"The Dursleys..." Dumbledore muttered the name, his smile fading.

"You know, when I sent Harry to his aunt, I enclosed a letter." Dumbledore's eyes were deep. "The letter did not hide anything. It explained Voldemort's affairs, but they still adopted Harry. This behavior took a great risk. I believe they have some affection for Harry."

Dumbledore's tone gradually became firm, "Leave the trace. I hope Harry can understand the true meaning of family."

"Okay." Loren nodded.

If you say so, then so be it. As for the affection among the Dursley family, Loren feels that there may be some, but not much.

Since Dumbledore has made the decision, he certainly won't interfere.

The next day, when the young wizards from various academies woke up, they found a new notice posted in the lounge.

【notify

Dear students,

I hope you have had a school year full of magic and miracles. Summer vacation is coming, and the library has built a new book corner where some books can be borrowed and taken home to read.

Students who wish to borrow books can register with Mrs. Pince at the library.

Note: Each person is limited to three books. Please do not damage the books.

I wish you all a fulfilling holiday!

Hogwarts Library】

Ron looked at the notice, frowning, "I can't understand who would torture themselves during the summer vacation."

Harry was not in a good mood. Although he did not say anything, he agreed with what Ron said.

Then he thought that he would spend a long and boring summer vacation at the Dursleys' house. Maybe he should borrow some magic books, which would be more interesting than hiding in the storage room and listening to Dudley playing games.

"There's always someone who wants to read a book." Hermione said happily. Unlike defeating the troll and Quirrell, this was the first big thing she had accomplished.

She prefers this kind of thing, which is not about fighting and killing, but helping classmates in another way.

She looked around but couldn't find Loren.

"Have you seen Loren?" Hermione asked.

Ron shook his head.

"He got up and went out very early." Harry was in a bad mood and had a light sleep.

Loren got up and went out before dawn. Although he moved very quietly, he still noticed it.

When they arrived at the Great Hall for breakfast, Hermione still didn't see Lauren.

Only the decoration of the hall was refurbished, with blue and bronze representing Ravenclaw as the main colors, and patterns of eagle wings and eagle claws throughout the hall.

On the wall behind the guest of honor seats, there is a banner with the words "Extraordinary wisdom is the most precious wealth of mankind" written on it, with two eagles with spread wings at both ends.

This is to celebrate Ravenclaw winning this year's house cup and to prepare for the end-of-year banquet in the evening.

Harry looked at the new decoration of the Great Hall and felt so depressed that he couldn't eat. Almost, just almost, the House Cup would go to Gryffindor.

Ron's mouth was full of stuff. "Think positively, Harry. At least the champion is not Slytherin."

Most of the little wizards in Gryffindor had the same idea, as did the little wizards in Hufflepuff. Although they did not win the House Cup this year, they were all very happy to have ended Slytherin's six-year dominance.

So now in the hall, except for the little wizards from Slytherin College, everyone else is very happy.

Hermione finished her breakfast and went to the library.

Compared to the empty library yesterday, there are obviously more people today. Most of them come to borrow books, or to borrow books with friends.

Hermione saw a familiar figure.

It was the little Muggle witch that Angelina had asked to bring a skirt. She was standing in front of the brand new bookshelf in bright clothes.

The little witch saw that the bookshelf was full of old and broken books, and her beautiful eyebrows knitted together, and she was very entangled. After struggling for a while, she finally plucked up the courage to take out a book that was not so old and started to read it.

After turning a few pages, the little witch discovered the precious notes inside. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She no longer disdained these old books, and quickly picked two more and happily went to Madam Pince to register.

There were many people borrowing books, and there was a long queue in front of Madam Pince, most of whom had happy expressions on their faces.

Hermione sat by the window and watched the whole process of the little witch choosing a book. Although she didn't know the content of the book, when she saw the little witch and other people borrowing books, she felt that her heart was filled with something inexplicable and she felt a joy she had never felt before.

She was so eager to find Loren to share this joy that she couldn't even concentrate on reading. She put away the book and walked out of the library.

Loren happened to be entering the library, and the two met in front of the door.
