Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 38: Library

Whenever it is a Saturday, the number of students in the Hogwarts library will become very large.

These students of all grades, they went between the various bookshelves, trying to find information, so as to complete this week's course papers.

Not so for Matthew Wakefield, of course.

Because the course papers he needs to hand in this week have all been completed on Friday night, and there is no burden in this regard.

But now, he is still shuttling between the bookshelves, looking 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 Leaky Cauldron, and they also had the experience of getting along together on the Hogwarts Express train. In addition, they have met in the library many times recently. more familiar.

"I'm looking for books related to vampires." Matthew replied softly.

He also deliberately lowered his voice, otherwise it would be terrible if Mrs. Pince heard him because he was too noisy.

After all, Mrs. Pince, the librarian, is known for her bad temper.

"A vampire?" Hermione's face showed a smug look: "You finally found out...Professor Troka..."

"Hush!" Matthew quickly shook his head and hissed lightly.

"Wait!" Almost in the blink of an eye, Hermione swished and disappeared.

But it wasn't long before she came back again, holding a huge old book in her hand.

"Here..." She handed the book to Matthew.

"This is?" Matthew was taken aback.

"I got this from Professor Flitwick in order to complete Professor Rozier's thesis." Hermione said with a bit of showing off, "Normally, this book is only It can be found in the restricted section! Take it, this book will definitely help you, there is absolutely no book in the library that describes vampires in more detail!"

"Books in the restricted area..." Matthew lowered his head and took a careful look at the huge book.

"If you keep making loud noises, I will drive you out of here!" A ferocious voice came from behind them.

Undoubtedly, Mrs. Pince, the librarian.

She held a feather duster in her hand, waved it around, and shouted angrily at Matthew and Hermione.

Frightened, Matthew and Hermione apologized repeatedly and fled.

……

The Restricted Section is a special section of the library that is usually not open to the public.

At the same time, if you want to read any book in the restricted area, you must have the consent of a certain teacher, and there must be a note signed by him.

And Professor Flitwick is the most amiable dean of the four colleges. Ravenclaw students want to get such a note from him, as long as they have enough reasons, it will be easy.

Horace Slughorn, the head of Slytherin, is also quite kind in appearance, but that is only limited to some special students. Although Matthew is also quite "loved" by Slughorn, he also thinks that he has not yet reached that level...so he never asked Professor Slughorn to mention the content related to the restricted area .

Holding the huge book Hermione gave him, he came to a corner of the library, and he began to look through it carefully.

This book mainly introduces those powerful magical creatures that can endanger the safety of wizards, such as vampires, werewolves, giant spiders and so on.

Because the description is very detailed and some of the illustrations are extremely hideous, it may cause great physical and mental harm to young wizards... it was put in the restricted area.

Matthew quickly turned to the chapter about vampires...

Undoubtedly, what Hermione said was right. This book described the characteristics of vampires in detail, far surpassing the textbooks and the materials that Matthew had consulted before.

After skipping the familiar parts, Matthew quickly found some useful content——

"Blood is a must for a vampire, and it must be the blood of a living creature. Every vampire must ensure to drink fresh blood three times a week, otherwise there will be a serious state of nervous decadence; long-term Time without contact with fresh blood can even lead to death.”

"Blood that has been away from the living body for a period of time, or pseudo-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 a special preference for blood, and some well-known vampires~IndoMTL.com~ will use some blood magic to achieve their extra goals..."

"For example, the famous Hungarian vampire Elizabeth Bathory, of course, her more familiar name is 'Ms. Camilla'. She continuously **** the blood of a young girl and bathes in the blood of a young girl to achieve permanent residence. A youthful face...According to rumors, before 1611 alone, at least fifty-one local Muggle girls were brutally killed by her."

"At the same time, there are also some vampires who are tired of the blood of Muggles and ordinary animals... They think that drinking the blood of higher-level creatures can increase their strength..."

"Those vampires who try to extend their claws to young wizards are called 'butcher vampires' in history. But as early as the nineteenth century, in order to fight these 'butcher vampires', some wizards formed the 'vampire hunters' 'Organization, wipe them out."

"There are also some vampires who have extended their claws to high-level magical creatures. For example, in the 17th century, Robert Kaplan, a vampire who immigrated to Australia, tried to **** the blood of a Chinese fireball dragon, but couldn't bear it. The toxicity in the dragon's blood leads to a tragic death."

"However, there is no evidence that a vampire sucking the blood of high-level magical animals or wizards is more effective than sucking the blood of Muggles or ordinary animals..."

……

Matthew's eyes scanned the clumps of text, and then turned the content of the vampire to the last page little by little.

While watching, he paused, thinking about something...

Soon, he finished reading the content related to vampires.

Matthew took another casual look at the title of the next section:

"Dream Demon!"
