Chapter 430 Ravenclaw's Gift

Although it is a pity that Dumbledore cannot come in, we still have to see what is in the Chamber of Secrets.

Andrew walked in front, holding his wand tightly. Although there was no risk in theory, he was not sure whether the first dean had the bad taste to teach students not to let down their guard until the last step.

'Especially pay attention to Sirius and Nina behind me. If they are under the effect of the Imperius Curse and then curse me, it will be a real curse. Be careful not to be arrogant.'

Even though this last-minute test sounds old-fashioned, it is really effective when used in reality. He does not want to humbly accept this last lesson.

Besides, the Dean had fallen into trouble and Dumbledore was stopped outside, so he could never be too careful.

But it turned out that the first dean did not have such a habit, and Andrew's worries were completely unnecessary.

Opposite the exit is a room that is not much bigger than the dean's lounge and is arranged similarly to a professor's office, with large tables and chairs, only one row of bookshelves, a fireplace that has been extinguished for who knows how long, a huge portrait, and a wall that allows a clear view of the corridor outside and the entrance to the lounge.

It was so clean here, as if it had just been cleaned - but Andrew clearly felt the protective magic surrounding the entire room. It was this powerful spell that protected this so-called secret room.

'It's not like a chamber of secrets, more like another common room of the Ravenclaw ladies here...'

But the key point is not the secret room, but the dean who is standing there as punishment.

Andrew went over to check carefully, only to find that the dean was blinking and making a very low voice, "I'm excluded, you guys hurry up and see what's going on, I guess I won't be able to come back in after I go out!"

...

So it’s really just for you to take a look, Dean.

If it weren't for the excellent facial expression control that he had developed through brain occlusion, Andrew suspected that he would have laughed.

After confirming that his dean was fine, Andrew immediately went to the bookshelf, ready to check the most valuable belongings in the entire secret room.

But as he looked over, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Nina, who followed over, was also stunned. He looked at Andrew and said, "I recognize fewer books in my library, but it seems that they are all there?"

"Yes, they are all there," Andrew said affirmatively, "And how could Ms. Ravenclaw hide some of the knowledge and not put it in the library..."

He said that having a collection of books was not in line with the style of the headmaster of Ravenclaw - opening a college, teaching knowledge, and then hiding the precious knowledge?

'It's possible that she dislikes the other person for not being smart enough to understand. If she keeps the knowledge secret and doesn't pass it down, she would be unworthy of being the head of Ravenclaw.'

"There are no new books. I have read part or all of the names of more than half of them in the library. The rest are obsolete magical knowledge. There is no new knowledge."

Andrew trotted to the dean to report.

"I knew it," Professor Flitwick smiled. "It's up to the future generations if they don't learn the skills well. The books at Hogwarts have never been burned. How could Ms. Ravenclaw have such knowledge hidden on a large scale?"

That's right - the books in the library are so vast that even Dumbledore couldn't say that he had read them all, let alone others.

It is a legendary story that the library can be read through in a few years, not reality. Even though Andrew spent a lot of time on Transfiguration, he could only say that he had read it roughly once, not that he had finished it. As for integrating and understanding it, and coming up with something of his own, that is even more difficult - it is hard to describe it anyway, and if it is written down, it will be something of the banned book level. After reading it, beginners will most likely be stuck in the rules of Transfiguration and will not be able to enter the door in this life.

Of course, if you ask if there are some killer magic tricks hidden in private, then of course there are. Which wizard doesn’t hide some real stuff?

Especially when Hogwarts was first built, it would be foolish not to keep your unique skills hidden.

"Look carefully for any manuscripts or anything like that."

The dean was obviously very anxious, but Andrew couldn't refute the dean on a matter of common sense, so he just hurriedly searched the table and drawers.

But nothing was found - apart from the huge portrait, there were only seven small boxes under the table in the entire room, and the rest were some spell books on the bookshelf.

There was no doubt that the room had been carefully cleaned and sealed, and except for the seven boxes and the books on the bookshelf that might have been left as gifts, all the other miscellaneous items had been moved away.

"There's nothing wrong with the portrait. It's just been firmly fixed there by magic. It's a permanent spell, and it stays with the house."

Professor Nina said in a professional tone, "If I'm not mistaken, we can only take one box away. I've only heard of this old gift-giving mechanism..."

"Isn't one enough, Professor Nina? Don't be too greedy and think about taking away all the gifts from your predecessors."

Andrew carefully checked the contents of the bibliography and put the books that he was sure had no research value back to their original places.

But this selection time obviously would not last long, because he really felt the sense of exclusion that the dean described - it was impossible to expect to carefully select and copy the books once, at most ten minutes, and they would be kicked out.

"You guys pick out a suitable box, I'll hurry up and look for the books!"

Andrew spoke to the two people huddled together over there, then lowered his head and continued to search for books - anyway, the box couldn't be opened to see the face, he had to hurry up, with the help of magic, he could copy a useful book in five minutes!

But unfortunately, these books were not part of the inheritance. Until the repulsive force began to squeeze, he still didn't find anything new.

Professor Nina and Sirius, who had already picked out their spoils, grabbed a box - and then all of them began to spin, and after a dizzy spell, they were ruthlessly spit out and thrown to the floor.

"You've seen them all?"

Professor Flitwick didn't even bother to get up, and immediately started asking Andrew questions.

"The books I haven't read don't have profound content. They are magical problems that I can understand if I think carefully." Andrew shook his head. "I suspect that they are some of Ms. Ravenclaw's favorite collections. They are placed there with the portraits as decoration."

"That should be it, Taylor," Professor Flitwick shook his head regretfully, "List the books you can still remember. I plan to add an extra bookshelf in the lounge to store the copies of these books."

"No problem, Professor."

Andrew nodded quickly, then pointed the wand at his head and pulled it gently, and a shiny silver thread appeared - this is the greatest use of Legilimency.
