Rebirth of HP

69 Borrowing Forbidden - Books

.!Entering mid-November, it was getting colder, and Harry received some clothes from the Big Four. .!The late autumn of this year was exceptionally cool, especially in the always gloomy cellar, so the fireplace was lit early in the Slytherin common room.And indoors, the warming spell is quite easy to use.Harry has become lazy for a while, except for going out for morning jogs, meals, and classes during the day, and spending an hour or two at his lover's place at night, he basically didn't appear in any public places, and he was even rumored by Hogwarts. None of the Dueling Clubs, which had already been played once, aroused his interest.

"Sev, didn't you fix Lockhart in the Dueling Club?" That night in the snake king's office in the cellar, Harry was lying on the thick carpet he had conjured up, flipping through the latest "Potions Weekly".

"If you think I just knocked your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor flying with a disarming spell, that's not a whole lot?" Snape ravaged a Hufflepuff Potions homework with written venom. Afterwards, asked rhetorically.

"Oh, what a pity I didn't get to see such a good show. Oh, Sev, honey, do you know what I was thinking when you knocked Lockhart out of the way?—oh, that's true It hurts." Harry shrugged with a smile.

Harry had cast the Ignore Charm on himself in Defense Against the Dark Arts class since the last time Lockhart was turned into a baby by Severus.He really didn't want the relationship between his partner and colleagues to be too tense, and Harry was reading some other books and didn't want to cause trouble.He recently found a rare Potions book in the Slytherin library, and there was a potion of black potion that he was very interested in. Maybe, he could try it.

"By the way, Sev, have you heard of Europa's tears?" Harry asked.

"No, what's the matter?" Snape's quill paused.

"I found a potion book in the Slytherin library. You know, some ancient potion formulas are mostly recorded in poetry. All kinds of materials are recorded in metaphor. I saw a formula yesterday. There was a sentence like "Europa's tears fell drop by drop in the sea, and the waves rolled to the left six times..." I couldn't figure out what "Europa's tears" was." Harry said, "I really don't want to always It's on Gordy."

"'Europa's Tears'?" Snape narrowed his eyes, took out a piece of parchment beside him, and wrote a note allowing him to borrow books in the forbidden section, "Here, I remember the forbidden section There's a book called Potions in Poetry. It seems to be mentioned there."

Harry took the parchment and saw the familiar and powerful handwriting: I, Severus S. Prince, Professor of Potions at Hogwarts and Head of Slytherin House, allow my apprentice Harry Potter uses the Hogwarts Restricted Section to borrow all the books he needs. .!

Harry blinked and said, "Don't ask what potion it is?"

"With your potion level, I don't think you need a guardian to follow you," Severus said.

"Your birthday is coming up. Last year, I was too busy to make a gift for you, so I gave you three Almonassa flowers. Naturally, I have to prepare well this year." Harry said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, it's only mid-November now..." Severus was taken aback, a little moved.

"Of course, Sev, your memory doesn't need a mnemonic. But you deserve it," Harry said matter-of-factly.

Even a potions master like Harry needs more than a month of preparation time, so one can imagine how precious this gift is.Since he was a child, he had never had anyone who was willing to spend nearly two months preparing a gift for him. Undoubtedly, his young partner's actions hit the softest part of his heart once again.

But he couldn't refuse the villain, yes, couldn't refuse.

"Oh," Harry took out his pocket watch, "the curfew is coming soon, Sev, good night." Before leaving, he disappeared all the soft, fluffy carpets and pillows he had conjured up, and asked the elf to send a A pot of black coffee—he knew his older lover was on watch tonight.That's it.

Looking at the black coffee in hand, I suddenly felt that I might need to buy some more comfortable furniture, whether it's Spider's End Alley or Prince Manor... Maybe it's the same here?Although he has always felt that the plush carpet and soft pillows are a bit silly, but he thinks he can accept them, as long as the color is not dazzling golden red.

……

The next day, after Harry had lunch, he went to the library alone, and the second-year Slytherins and Gryffindors had no classes in the afternoon.Mrs. Pince, having not seen Harry for a fortnight, greeted the boy cheerfully.

"Mr. Potter, I haven't seen you coming here recently." Mrs. Pince smiled.

"Yes, ma'am, you have to understand that Slytherins are not very popular these days." Harry smiled and handed over his permission to borrow books.

Mrs. Pince routinely checked the authenticity of the signature on the note. Although everyone knew that Harry would not bring a fake signature, this was a procedure for entering the restricted area.Then, Mrs. Pince smiled and said: "Mr. Potter, Severus really has nothing to say to you. You know, very few students can get such an unlimited loan note. However, I still have to say It has to be said—this pass is limited to the area designated by Professor Prince. If you try to obtain other information without prior permission, you will find that the books are extremely uncooperative. I don’t think you are the first time to go to the forbidden-book area, You should understand what I mean."

"Of course, ma'am." Harry nodded with a smile. Everyone knew that he was a student with the eyes of Mr. Snake King, and he had been a frequent visitor to the restricted area since last year.

"Okay, you can find me if you need it." Mrs. Pince kindly let him in, "I hope you can find the book you want."

"Thank you, ma'am." Harry said as he entered the Restricted Section.

The restricted-book area is very spacious, with a high ceiling - this is the northern part of the library, and there are few students here on weekdays, but Harry is an exception, since last semester, he has often been in and out of here.As soon as he stepped here, Harry heard a sound, a kind of whispering movement, or a non-existent slight movement like skin rubbing against a book.Harry knew that this was just a magic circle to monitor whether students had taken books they shouldn't have.Of course, none of this had anything to do with him, because he had Severus' license, and the entire Restricted Area was under license.

Harry began to look for books he was interested in, of course, the first one he should look for was "Potions in Poetry" recommended by Severus.Shuttle between the bookshelves, looking for it seriously.It is undeniable that there are many very dangerous books on the shelves in the restricted area, many of which are locked with chains.It is said that the books here bite off the hands of one or two seventh graders every year.

Of course, these books were not in any danger in Harry's hands, just a little bit of magic pressure was enough to calm them down.Finally, Harry found the book recommended by his partner on a dilapidated bookshelf—a thick and large book with 5 millimeters of dust on the surface. He took out the borrowing card on the book and took a look at the book. It was an old book in the library from the time of the Big Four. On the borrowing card, he saw the name of Stephen Potter and the surname of Prince, and finally the name he was most familiar with. I rubbed the line of names with my fingertips, and the name in that line had already unknowingly changed to "Severus S. Prince" in the past summer vacation. The wizard's name contract is always magical.However, Prince's group of old stubborn people actually said that mixed blood is not worthy of inheriting the surname of Prince...

Simply nonsense!

Hmph, if you want to talk about mixed blood seriously, there is no one in the entire wizarding world who is not mixed blood!

Harry took this book and picked up two more forbidden books about Inferi and one about the awakening of bloodlines, and walked outside. When he reached the first shelf in the forbidden book area, He heard a conversation coming from the door——

""Miraculous Pharmacopoeia"?" Hearing Mrs. Pince's suspicious tone.Harry quietly walked to the corridor of the nearest bookshelf, and through the gap between the books, he accidentally saw familiar people-the acquaintances of Gryffindor.

"I have the professor's permission." Hermione said forcefully. "Professor Lockhart gave it to me!" She took out a note.

"Oh, we're going in." Ron said anxiously, pulling the note out of Hermione's hand and handing it to Mrs. Pince.

"I thought, Mr. Ron Weasley...Professor Lockhart would sign anything, as long as it stood still long enough. However, this is indeed a professor's permission, okay..." Mrs. Pince was obviously helpless , she didn't understand how that idiot could attract Dumbledore's attention.

Harry frowned, "Magic Pharmacopoeia"?Polyjuice Potion... Gryffindor is at risk again.Might need to tell Sif to keep a close eye on his office and potions material cabinet so they don't have to worry about them getting in Slytherin... Besides, he had to say that the professor really didn't have much brains either.

Harry was not interested in reading any more, and was about to go out immediately. He had to go back to the cellar to continue researching the potion called "Soul Fit Growth Potion".Maybe he could allow himself to give Severus a perfect birthday.

So, he came out with a few books in his hand.

"Oh, Mr. Potter." Mrs. Pince saw Harry coming out, "Oh, you found the book you need, haven't you? Then you wait here..." Then, she looked at the grannies. Findo, "This is indeed the professor's autograph, so... I have no ability to prevent you from entering the restricted-book area," Mrs. Pince said, making several Gryffindors feel like they were on a stimulant, "However, a permit can only allow one student to enter. So... you guys stay outside, Miss Granger, you go in. Also, Miss Granger, you can only take the "Miraculous Pharmacopoeia", understand ?”

Harry saw the girl glance at him and nodded immediately.Harry could see the panic in Hermione's eyes. When Harry looked back gently, she didn't dare to meet his eyes—obviously, it was really Polyjuice Potion, right?

Harry smiled slightly and said nothing. Like Gryffindor, he had no class in the afternoon, but he still had astronomy class in the evening.After registering, I hurriedly greeted poor Longbottom, and left the library, ignoring the various Gryffindor slanders behind me.

But I didn't expect to go back to the cellar, and an extremely sudden and expected news came——

Sirius Black's injustice will be judged in two days on Sunday!

There is a 100% possibility of being released in court!

The author has something to say: Khan, even banned books are illegal words. .!
