98. Banned books in the forbidden book area



A few days after the semester started, Magos discovered that Hermione had actually started a review plan, which made him stunned and couldn't help but admire him. It turns out that becoming a top student is not that easy.

Harry's Quidditch training also started urgently. When he came back on the first night, he said tiredly that Wood was too crazy. He was more demanding on them than before. He felt that it was a bit too much. After washing, he lay down in bed. He fell asleep within seconds.

Magos looked at Harry who was already asleep, wondering if his words that day had any effect. Harry had been very diligent in everything he did recently, whether it was Quidditch training or learning knowledge.Even Hermione felt like he was a different person.

Turning back to look at Ron, after he heard who they were going to fight that day, Ron behaved like most wizards. He jumped up in fright on the spot, looked at them with dead eyes, and kept talking at the same time. There is no chance that the mysterious man will appear again.However, when he saw Harry, he still trembled and said that if it really happened, he would be the one to take revenge.So Ron has been practicing magic spells very seriously these days.

Seeing that Ron didn't move, Magos guessed that he was asleep, so he got up and picked up the invisibility cloak to leave the dormitory.

"Where are you going, McGoss."

"Ron? I thought you were asleep." Magos looked at Ron who sat up and asked him softly.

"I almost fell asleep, but I accidentally saw you getting up."

"Then go to sleep. I'll go out for a walk and try on this cloak." Magos put on the cloak and the person disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, actually I was thinking about going out with you. I've also started to have nightmares in the past few days." Looking at Magos Ron who had disappeared, he muttered a few words and lay down again.

It feels very strange to put on an invisibility cloak, as if your body is transparent and only you can see other people, but others can't see you.

The sleeping fat lady was awakened by Magos opening the door, but she couldn't see anyone, so she automatically closed it and went back to sleep.

Magos walked to a corner, took out the Marauder's Map and looked carefully at Filch's location. After confirming that he was not within the scope of the library, he went downstairs with peace of mind.When he was on the sixth floor, he saw Peeves, carefully avoided it, and continued walking towards the target.

The library was dark and eerie at night. Magos took out the Marauder's Map again to make sure there was no one else around, took out his wand and stretched out his hand from his cloak.

"Fluorescence!" Looking at the faint light emerging from the tip of the staff, he sighed that it was really convenient to know magic.But the scene was a bit scary. From his gaze, the wand and half of his outstretched arm seemed to be floating in front of him.

He didn't look at the books around him and walked directly to the deepest part of the library.When he saw a sign with a warning, he knew he was in the forbidden book zone!

Carefully crossed the rope in front of the restricted book area. After entering, it was obvious that the air here was a bit depressing, and there was a vague feeling of being spied on. Magos had already confirmed it. He didn't think there was anyone else here, the only one. It's possible that the books here are causing trouble.Looking at the peeling and faded gilt letters, many spelled out words that McGoss couldn't understand. Some books had no titles at all.Looking at the famous and unknown books around him, Magos shuddered first, and then despised his own timidity.He resisted the idea of ​​picking up a book and flipping through it, knowing that the books that could be placed in the restricted book area were not ordinary books. Not to mention the content inside, the book itself was dangerous to a certain extent.

He came here this time, firstly, because the restricted book section of the school has been well-known for a long time, so he came here to see it, and secondly, because of the parchment. Although he and Hermione had already translated the contents inside, after all, it was only a fragment of the parchment. I don’t know anything about the content behind it. Maybe there will be more detailed records in the restricted book area.

He slowly began to search along the bookshelf, but after reading for a while, he had to stop. The books here were either too profound or too evil, but he felt a little dizzy just after reading the titles of a few books. There was also some auditory hallucinations, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

He shook his head and stopped looking at the bookshelf. Ignoring the dust on the floor, he sat down and gasped for air.It took a while to fully recover.

"It's amazing. Is this the power of sealed and banned books? I can't stand it just by looking at the title of the book, but the content is not bad. But this is not a solution. How can I find what I want if I can't even read the title? Books." Magos looked at the restricted book area with an unknown number of books with a headache.It felt like I might be leaving empty-handed.

"Nevermind, I'll just read and take a break." He gritted his teeth and stood up, looking at the bookshelf in the next row, just like that, look and take a break, take a look and take a rest.Finally, he looked at his watch and found that he had been in the forbidden book area for almost an hour. He quickly took out the Marauder's Map. Sure enough, Filch's name appeared around the library. He extinguished the light on his wand and looked closely at it.

Staring at Filch's position, Filch didn't expect any students to come to the restricted book area at night. He just walked around the restricted book area and left.

"Phew, it's okay, but it's getting late. I'll finish searching this row. If you really can't find it, just come back next time." Magos brightened the wand again and walked towards the bookshelf that he had just finished reading.

"Hey, on the true power and usage of Occlumency?" Magos's eyes widened when he saw the title of the book. "Why is this book in the restricted area? Could it be that Occlumency can also be used as black magic?" ? That's too ridiculous." He couldn't help but want to pick up the book, but he retracted his hand halfway, "Wait, why didn't I think of that? I can use Occlumency. Maybe this spell can resist it. The impact of these books.”

If you want to do it, do it. He is ready to leave anyway. No matter whether it works or not, we will try it later.Maybe I have been using this spell more frequently recently, but this time I succeeded without much effort.After abandoning his emotions, he looked at the bookshelf much better. He didn't want to have the illusion of being dazzled after reading a few books.

Picking up the book "On the Use of the Brain..." which he thought was misplaced, he felt that the title of the book was a little wobbly.Turning over the first few pages, the content inside was no different from what he saw in the textbook, but when he turned back to the next page, it was amazing. What Snape said to him that day was also recorded on it.Then looking down, he felt a little dizzy, but Occlumency worked, and his consciousness was still very clear. It said that the true power of Occlumency was the same as what he had read in novels and played games in his previous life. It could release his mind. What? Taking the heads of people thousands of miles away, controlling other people's thoughts, and controlling natural elements. Anyway, as long as he can think of it, it is all there. In a word, as long as he studies according to this book, becoming a god will not be a problem in the future.If he wasn't holding Occlumency now, his eyes would be glowing now, and he regarded this book as a peerless secret book. However, he has been in Occlumency state now, and he calmly read these coveted abilities. But for some unknown reason, the following content became more and more difficult for him to understand. In the end, every word he read seemed to have something forced into his mind.

Really unable to bear it anymore, he resisted the urge to read and closed the book.

"Hoo, ho..." He gasped for air, only to realize that the Occlumency had been broken and his back was soaked with sweat.Looking at the book in his hand again, the names on it have changed.

"The Book of Temptation"

Sure enough, how could a curse like Occlumency be a banned book? This book must have contained those contents on the book based on his inner fantasies or memories.

This time he didn't dare to read it again. Even if he clearly remembered the content of the book just now, and there was a voice in his heart telling him to continue reading, a fool also knew that there was something wrong with the book, and even the name had changed. It was not the brain. Occlumency, he might really take the contents inside seriously.Enduring the dizziness, he stuffed the book back into the bookshelf, put on his cloak and quickly left the restricted book area.

Not long after Magos left, a bearded old man - Dumbledore - slowly appeared in the empty restricted book area.He looked at the direction Magos left and smiled, as if he didn't mind at all that he was entering the forbidden book area at night, and he seemed pleased that he could resist the content of the book.He turned around and picked up the "Book of Temptation" that had just been put back on the bookshelf and slowly turned it over, reading it with gusto.

"Temptation..." After a long time, Dumbledore put the book back on the shelf, sighed and disappeared.However, as he just left, the name of the book on the bookshelf began to change again, but this time it did not directly become the title of the book, but a group of indescribable symbols, which seemed to be waiting for the next person to approach him to appear. into the name he wanted.

Magos felt dizzy when he got up the next day. This was the aftereffect of reading the book last night, and he still didn't fully recover after a night.

"Magos, are you okay?" Harry asked concernedly when he saw Magos who was looking a little pale.

"I'm fine. I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well." Magos smiled reluctantly, got up and washed his face with cold water before feeling better.

"By the way, is there a Potions class today?" Magos suddenly remembered that it had been a few days since school started and he hadn't even reported to Snape yet. Snape wouldn't have thought that he had given up.

Harry nodded and said that the first class in the afternoon was Potions.Magos decided to go to Snape's after lunch.

"Harry, are you free tonight?"

"Yes, Wood said let us rest for two days and then prepare for high-intensity training in the future." Harry sighed.

"Why are the requirements so high this time? Didn't you already beat Slytherin last time?" Magos was a little confused.

"Two reasons, one is that as long as we win we will have a chance to compete for first place, and the other is that this time the referee is Snape." After saying this, Harry covered his face with his hands.

"Snape?" Ron next to him shouted subconsciously after hearing it.
