Located at the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, the scene became particularly cold.
Jon, wrapped in an invisibility cloak, huddled in the corner and remained motionless, not even looking at anyone in front of him to prevent his sight from alerting the two people who were facing each other tit for tat.
"Of course you have the right, Crouch." Snape still said in a calm tone, "So how are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Handle this matter?" Barty Jr. pretended to be confused, "You are the vice principal of this school, Mr. Snape. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it. All I can do is tell you what happened.
To the master, what do you mean by asking me how to deal with it?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Snape said indifferently, "Since both of them are rushing to report this matter to you, I'll leave it to you to do it. Is there anything in the restricted book area?
It’s a book that the master of the Young Company cherishes very much, so you’d better handle this matter well, otherwise 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 definitely be able to give the master an explanation in the end."
After hearing his promise, Snape did not continue spending time with the three of them here. He snorted coldly and turned around and left the corner of the stairs.
As his footsteps moved away, only Barty Jr., Dolohov and Quirrell were left on the stairs. After Snape left, the smile on Barty Jr.'s face gradually faded, and his eyes
He looked at Quirrell coldly.
"You'd better tell me clearly now what happened to those banned books!"
Quirrell trembled and then told the complete story of the problem.
"I, I have been doing the five-year routine sorting of the banned book area since Monday, sir, but there are no abnormalities in the banned books at level 5 and level 4. It was only when I checked at level 3 that something was wrong.
Many books in the third-level forbidden book area have lost their original magic power. The one you have always loved, "The Unforgivable Curse", can no longer be opened at all, and "The Ghost Book of Evil Ghosts", which was originally
The evil ghost living inside also disappeared inexplicably, and it turned into an ordinary blank book, like other books. You know, those forbidden books themselves are attached with powerful magic power, and it is precisely
Because of these magical powers, they can record dangerous knowledge, but now that these magical powers have disappeared, these books have all become ordinary, and the knowledge they originally contained has also disappeared along with the magical powers!"
Little Barty's face became even more ugly, and he stared at Quirrell.
"Have you ever looked into the deepest part of the third-level forbidden book area?"
"Well, as soon as I realized something was wrong, I, I went in and looked at it, sir." Quirrell stuttered even more, "Later, the forbidden books in the back are all the same. Their magic power is the same as what they contain.
All knowledge is lost!"
"Bang!"
Little Barty suddenly punched Quirrell to the ground, then pulled 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 the Arctic glacier, "Stop his mouth, Antoning."
Without any hesitation, Dolokhov cast a spell on Quirrell, who was lying on the ground whimpering and begging.
"Seal the tongue and lock the throat."
Quirrell couldn't make any loud noise now. He could only cry out from his throat and struggled to get up from the ground. However, the next moment, the unforgivable spell fell on him.
"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"
Heartbreaking pain instantly swept through Quirrell's body. The pain that seemed to pierce his soul made him open his mouth wide and let out a silent roar. His body kept curling up like a prawn in a frying pan.
Just the look of that appearance can make people feel that life is worse than death for a while!
Little Barty and Dolohov looked indifferent to Quirrell's current appearance, as if they didn't see his miserable appearance at all. After inflicting the punishment, Little Barty took Dolohov with him.
Turn around and walk quickly towards the library.
Torturing Quirrell was just to vent his anger, but he still needed to see what happened in the library for himself.
All the books in the forbidden book area have lost their magic power. If this matter is reported to Voldemort without any investigation, then even Barty Jr. will definitely be punished!
After the two of them left, Quirrell was left lying on the ground, making "ho ho" sounds in his throat, breathing rapidly, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.
He stared blankly at the dark ceiling, like a man who had lost his mind.
Jon looked at the miserable situation of this half-blood wizard who had also taken refuge with Voldemort in the first part of the original work, without showing any pity on his face.
Since he wanted to be a pureblood dog, he should have known that while a dog has bones to eat when its owner is happy, it will also feel like an eyesore and kick him severely when its owner is unhappy.
There was no one else on the stairs, and Quirrell was basically in a semi-conscious state. Jon did not stay here any longer. He walked down the stairs slowly and quietly, and then continued to violently move up and down from his chest.
The heaving Quirrell passed by and left the staircase corner on the fifth floor.
After descending to the first floor, he quickened his pace a little, walked into the underground dormitory, and then returned to his dormitory.
After taking off his invisibility cloak, Jon did not go to bed immediately, but took out the Marauder's Map and opened it.
On the map, he could clearly see the location of the castle library. At this time, about six or seven professors had gathered, including not only Barty Jr. and Dolohov, but also Amycus Carlo and A.
The two brothers Lector Carlo, the mixed-race Dean Greengrass, etc.
Jon didn't know what went wrong in the library, but he knew very well that the books in the forbidden area must be valued by Voldemort. Originally, the Hogwarts library had the richest collection of books in the wizarding world, and the forbidden books were
There is extremely complete black magic information in the area, and even the knowledge about Horcruxes may have been obtained by him from the forbidden book area.
But now those books have lost their magic.
The more advanced magic books are, the more they not only rely on the words themselves to carry knowledge, but also the magic power attached to the books is their true sustenance of knowledge. Now that the magic power of these books is gone, it means that the knowledge will also disappear.
All this important knowledge that was of great significance to Voldemort was gone. No one in Hogwarts Castle could shoulder such a responsibility.
