Chapter Nineteen Of How A Mouse Should Bell A Cat

How powerful is Dumbledore?

To what extent does he have control over Hogwarts? Are all the portraits and ghosts his eyes and ears?

What attitude will he take towards students who violate the rules?

Erwin originally thought about attacking the restricted section of the library for a few days, but now he gave up the idea.

It's better to keep your tail between your legs first.

Time flies by in mid-November, and the Quidditch season at Hogwarts begins. The basic format is that each of the four major colleges competes once. The scores in the game will be directly counted into the house points. For such an outrageous rule, El

Wen was no longer interested in expressing any opinions. Catching the Golden Snitch was worth one hundred and fifty points, which would at least allow Hermione to answer thirty questions in class.

It makes Hogwarts look like a Quidditch school.

As the only team member with the right to capture the Golden Snitch, the Seeker is naturally the most crucial point in the team, so Porter naturally receives a high level of attention. This makes it understandable why Professor McGonagall made an exception.

Spend two thousand dollars to buy him an expensive light wheel.

Sure enough, it’s the protagonist’s treatment.

Hermione and Harry and Ron became friends. The three of them often got together to discuss something. They seemed to have a common secret, which was a significant sign of the formation of a small group.

Erwin was not very interested in the social interaction between children, and he did not intend to have a deep friendship with Harry. His main attitude towards Harry was to observe him, as if he were watching a white mouse in a cage.

Although he himself is in a cage.

The first Quidditch match was between Gryffindor and Slytherin. The Lion House deservedly won. Professor McGonagall was extremely happy and wore a bright girlish smile during the Transfiguration class this week. Erwin

I took this opportunity to ask her sympathetically, and learned that Principal Dumbledore was actually away from Hogwarts half the time.

"Professor Dumbledore is not only the principal of Hogwarts, he also maintains the stability of the entire wizarding world, and is also an excellent scholar, so he is always busy." Professor McGonagall said this.

This made Erwin a little bolder.

By the end of November, the existing magic spells have been basically mastered. The next step should certainly not be to practice more spells. According to the study plan formulated by Erwin, the next step is to heal magic spells, magic words, and further

Choose one of the three directions for level potion, and the books related to it are basically in the forbidden book area.

The principal had not seen anyone for half a month, and Erwin thought he could test it out.

The necessary preparations still need to be done. Erwin is already familiar with the path from Gryffindor Tower to the library, and based on his observations of the librarian Mrs. Pince during this period, he can judge that this woman is a very "

"Qualified" employees, "qualified" means only staying within the qualified line.

She gets off work on time every day at dinner time and never works for a second longer. Anything that happens in the library between then and when she goes to work the next day has nothing to do with her. She will clean the entire library every Monday and Friday.

The inventory of the restricted book area is very regularly checked once a week, and she seems to have a good relationship with the administrator Filch.

The last item has nothing to do with Erwin's plan.

On a cold night, Erwin took action, cast the four stealth spells on himself, and then sneaked into the library, where there was silence.

The forbidden book area is just a separate area. There are no defensive restrictions or barriers, but the books themselves are dangerous, and many books have been cast with constant spells.

Erwin was well prepared. He took out his wand and muttered a spell in a low voice. The books on the bookshelf he pointed at emitted a faint light of different colors.

The identification spell can visualize the magic power contained in the item, and high-level identification spells even allow the wizard to know all the parameters of the target, but of course Erwin does not have that kind of knowledge reserve and can only simply identify the degree of danger through the strength of the magic power.

Erwin didn't want to touch the kind of books with a rich purple-black light. There was no point in studying black magic now. Like "Powerful Potion" and "Book of Eternal Potions", the magical light was also quite rich, so naturally

Can't be the first choice.

Fortunately, the books related to healing spells and some rune books were not enchanted. Erwin picked up a copy of "Teaching You How to Create Medical Miracles", lit the wand and started reading, and then he was surprised to find healing magic.

It was completely different from what he imagined.

The healing spell is only the most basic spell. It can only treat physical injuries that do not involve internal organs and bones, and it is not suitable for treating injuries caused by spells. The treatment methods for healing fractures and promoting bone growth vary greatly. Most diseases and curses can be dealt with.

Both are troublesome; treating flame burns and corrosive injuries require completely different medications.

The wizards' research on medicine is so detailed that it is not even much lower than the level of the normal medical field. Sure enough, survival is the most fundamental pursuit of living things.

These books are placed in the restricted area, not because of how difficult it is to cure spells, but because it is an extremely large subject system that requires a lifetime of study.

Construction is much more difficult than destruction, and treatment is of course much more difficult than damage. If the healing spell was as simple as adding blood, how could an institution like St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic exist?

Erwin closed the book, browsed through the covers of other medical books, and selected the one with the latest publication date.

Although I don’t plan to spend too much energy studying magical medicine for the time being, it is still necessary to copy this book and keep a copy.

As for the rune books, Erwin chose the oldest ones, which he could no longer hold in his hands. Erwin could only use his natural ability to make those books stick to his back like magnets.

There is no way, only items that come into contact with his body will be covered by the Disguise Curse.

Now it's time to go back. He just needs to copy these books and return them before Mrs. Pince's next inspection. After all, he can't master all the contents of these books in a week.

Erwin won't come back before Christmas. After all, minimizing the number of crimes will inevitably reduce the chance of being discovered.

It would be great if he could know the exact movements of Principal Dumbledore. As long as he is sure that he is not in the castle, Erwin can let himself go. After all, it is almost impossible for professors to realize that a student has mastered the stealth spell.

But here comes the question, how can the mouse make the cat wear a bell?

Sneaking out of the library, he met Filch on patrol. This old man had been battling wits with problem students all year round, and his intuition was quite sharp. However, no matter how much he looked around and twitched his nose to breathe, he could not find Erwin's presence.

Of course, Erwin would not be bored enough to tease him. Taking pleasure in trampling and oppressing others is not a good habit. It is easy for people to fall into arrogance and arrogance and lose accurate judgment. Erwin would rather always remain humble and cautious.

manner.

As he approached Gryffindor Tower, he spotted two sneaky figures, and with the faint light, his iconic red hair could be seen.

The Weasley brothers are almost the most "notorious" problem students in Hogwarts. They have violated curfew countless times but have never been caught. Erwin knew that they must have some special tricks.

The two brothers were arguing in a low voice, "Listen to me, George, I really saw Percy and that Ravenclaw prefect entering the Three Broomsticks pub together..."

Erwin suddenly said from behind the two of them, "Hey."

Fred and George were obviously greatly frightened. They almost jumped up on the spot and screamed, but when they turned around and saw the revealed Erwin, they covered their mouths and suppressed their screams.

"Erwin?! How is this possible?! Why can't we see you?"

George's face was twisted, and Fred put his eyes close to the parchment in his hand.

"Can't you see me?" Erwin tilted his head. He had canceled the disillusionment spell. "Am I not standing right in front of you?"

"I mean you can't be seen on the map." George said quickly.

Fred on the side put down the parchment with a ghostly expression, "Now I see it again."

"Map?" Erwin looked at the parchment. It turned out to be a map, but there were many small dots on it. Each dot was marked with a name. There were three small dots next to Gryffindor Tower.

The names are none other than the Weasley brothers and Elvin Frost.

A map that can show the entire school and the location of everyone. "Interesting." Erwin whispered, "Is this something you made?"

"No," Fred shook his head, "This should be the inheritance of several graduating seniors. We stole it from Filch's office when we were in the first grade. It has helped us a lot in the past few years."

He pointed at the parchment with his wand, "The prank is over." He said, and the map immediately disappeared and turned into ordinary parchment. "I solemnly swear that I have evil intentions." As soon as he finished speaking, the lines appeared again.

"This is how it is used. It is very hidden and we have never been discovered." Fred said.

"What about you?" George asked impatiently, "I'm sure we didn't see you on the Marauder's Map just now."

"I think it's because I used the anti-detection spell." Erwin didn't hide it either.

Exchanging secrets is the best way to gain trust and close relationships.

"Anti-detection spell?" The Weasley brothers were only in their third year at this time, so naturally they had never heard of this kind of spell.

"Yes, it can prevent oneself from being discovered by ordinary detection methods. Although the Marauder's Map is magical, it does not have very strong magic power."

As Erwin said this, he took the Marauder's Map from Fred's hand, and then discovered that he could actually see the movements of each professor.

He had an idea, "Can Principal Dumbledore's name be displayed on it?" he asked.

"Yes, but he usually stays in the principal's office when he is at Hogwarts." Fred said.

Also, neither the professors nor the principal would say that they would cast anti-detection spells on themselves at any time in daily life. After all, this is Hogwarts, the safest place in the UK.

So they will be shown on the Marauder's Map.

Erwin thought thoughtfully. The problem he was worried about just now had a direct solution. He was really lucky.

It turns out that bells have actually existed for a long time.
