Chapter 90 89. The disappearance of knowledge
Located at the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, the scene became a bit colder.
Jon was wrapped in an invisibility cloak and huddled in a corner motionless, not even looking at anyone in front of him, so as to prevent his gaze from alerting the two people who were facing each other.
"Of course you have the right, Crouch." Snape was still in the same tone, "So how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"Handle this matter?" Little Barty pretended to be puzzled, "You are the vice-principal of this school, Mr. Snape, and you are the one who decides what to do. All I can do is to tell you what happened. To the master, what do you mean when you ask me how to deal with it?"
"Don't you understand me?" Snape said indifferently, "Since both of them are scrambling to report this matter to you, I'll leave it to you to do what to do. There are many It’s a book that even the master cherishes very much, so you’d better get this matter done, or how will you report to the master when the time comes.”
Crouch nodded with a smile on his face.
"Since you have said so, please rest assured that I will be able to give the master an explanation in the end."
Hearing that he had made a promise, Snape didn't continue spending time with the three of them here, and turned around and left the corner of the stairs with a cold snort.
As the sound of his footsteps faded away, only Barty Jr., Dolokhov, and Quirrell were left on the stairs. After Snape left, the smile on Little Barty's face gradually faded, and he looked at Quirrell coldly.
"You'd better tell me now what happened to those banned books!"
Quirrell was trembling, and only then did he tell the complete story of the problem.
"Me, I have been doing a five-year routine cleaning of the forbidden book area since Monday, sir, but there is nothing unusual about the banned books of the fifth and fourth levels, and I found something wrong when I checked the third level. Many books in the third-level restricted area have lost their original magic power. The "Unforgivable Unforgivable Curse" you have always liked is completely unopenable. There is also "Ghost Book of Evil Ghosts". The evil spirit lodged in it also disappeared inexplicably, and it became an ordinary blank book, and other books were like this. You know, those forbidden books themselves are possessed with powerful magic power, which is precisely It is because of these magical powers that they can record dangerous knowledge, but now that these magical powers disappear, these books have all become ordinary, and the knowledge they originally stored has also disappeared along with the magical power!"
Little Barty's face became even uglier, and he stared at Quirrell.
"From the third-level restricted area, have you entered the deepest part to see?"
"Yes, the first time I found something wrong, I, I went in and read it, sir." Quirrell stammered even more fiercely, "Finally, the following banned books are all the same, their magic power is the same as that recorded Knowledge is all gone!"
"Boom!"
Little Barty suddenly punched Quirrell to the ground, then drew out his wand and pointed it at the librarian.
"Is this how you treat your master's trust in you?" His voice was as cold as the ice of an arctic glacier, "Shut his mouth, Antonin."
Dolohov cast a spell on Quirrell who was lying on the ground whimpering and begging without the slightest hesitation.
Qi Luo couldn't make any loud noises at all, he could only cry from his throat, struggling to get up from the ground, but the next moment, the unforgivable spell fell on him.
"Cruciatus!"
The heart-piercing pain swept across Quirrell's whole body in an instant. The pain that seemed to pierce his soul made him open his mouth wide and let out a silent roar. His body curled up like a prawn in a frying pan. That appearance can make people feel that life is worse than death just by looking at it!
Batty Jr. and Dolohov looked indifferent to Quirrell's current appearance, as if they hadn't seen his miserable appearance at all. After the punishment was imposed, Batty Jr. took Dolohov Turn around and walk quickly in the direction of the library.
Torturing Quirrell is just to vent his anger, and he needs to see what happened in the library by himself.
All the books in the restricted area have lost their magic power. If this matter is reported to Voldemort without any reason being investigated, even Barty Jr. will definitely be punished!
After the two of them left, there was only Quirrell lying on the ground making the sound of "ho ho" in his throat, his breathing was extremely short, and his whole body was soaked in sweat.
He stared blankly at the dark ceiling, like a man who had lost his mind.
Jon looked at the tragic situation of the half-blood wizard who also took refuge in Voldemort in the first part of the original book, without showing any pity on his face.
Since he wants to be a pureblood dog, he should have known that while the dog has bones to eat when the owner is happy, he will also feel that he is an eyesore and kicks hard when the owner is unhappy.
There was no one else on the stairs, and Quirrell was basically in a semi-comatose state now. Jon didn't stay here any longer. He walked down the stairs slowly and in a very soft voice, and then continued to go up and down from his chest violently. The undulating Quirrell passed by, leaving this staircase corner on the fifth floor.
After descending to the first floor, he quickened his pace a little, walked into the basement bedroom, and then returned to his own bedroom.
Taking off the invisibility cloak, Jon didn't go to bed immediately, but took out the Marauder's Map and opened it.
On the map, he can clearly see the location of the castle library. At this time, about six or seven professors have gathered, not only Barty Jr. and Dolokhov, but also Amycus Carlo and Amy. The two brothers and sisters of Lecto Carrow, the half-blood Dean Greenglass and so on.
Jon didn't know what went wrong in the library, but he knew very well that the books in the restricted area must be valued by Voldemort. The Hogwarts library had the richest collection of books in the wizarding world, and the banned books There are extremely complete black magic materials in the area, and even the knowledge about Horcruxes may have been obtained from the restricted area.
But now those books have lost their magic.
The more advanced the magic books, the more they don't just rely on the words themselves to carry knowledge. The magic power attached to the books is their real knowledge sustenance. Now that the magic power of these books is gone, it means that knowledge will also disappear.
All this important knowledge of Voldemort's profound meaning is gone, and no one in Hogwarts Castle can afford such a responsibility.
Haha, everyone is here. I passed out just now, and I posted this as soon as I woke up. A little after 12 o’clock is barely considered morning.
Also, it has been confirmed that it will be on the shelves on August 1st, that is, at 12:00 tomorrow night. Come and support the first order at that time. At that time, the 4D will be updated with a minimum guarantee. The higher the first order is, the more I will work harder.
