Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 27: Merlin’s Secret
”This is what my father left…it used to be his father’s stuff.”
Harry felt that this invisibility cloak slipped between his fingers like running water. It was more delicate and lighter than silk, and it hardly felt any weight.
“Use it well”-remember what it says on the note.
He couldn’t help but slide out of the bed, and put the invisibility cloak over him. When he lowered his head and looked down, he could only see the moonlight falling on the ground in the darkness.
“Use it well?” Harry couldn’t help thinking again.
Yes, that’s it! Suddenly, Harry’s mind was so clear-put it on, and the whole Hogwarts was completely open to him!
He stood in the darkness, and there was silence around him, and he felt a sudden excitement in his heart.
Wearing this invisibility cloak, he can go anywhere, any place! Filch would never find him.
Ron on the bed next to him muttered something in his sleep, and Harry turned his head to look at him. Do you want to wake him up? No, this is the invisibility cloak his father left for him-he felt that at least this first time, he should use it alone.
He wanted to experience, in the past, did his father once, wrapped in this cloak alone, and explored around in the huge Hogwarts Castle?
Thinking of this, Harry couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to put the hood on the invisibility cloak on. He tiptoed out of the dormitory, down the stairs, through the common room, and climbed through the portrait hole.
“Who is it?” the fat woman in the painting asked dazedly.
Harry didn’t say a word, he walked quickly in the corridor, trying not to make any noise.
Hogwarts in the middle of the night is very different from the daytime, with a unique sense of mystery in the depth, which makes Harry, who grew up in the Muggle world, feel like he has walked into a castle in a magical story.
thinking about it, he couldn’t help but laugh, isn’t this just a magic castle? Although it was not the first time to walk in the Hogwarts corridor at night, when he was wearing the invisibility cloak, he found that this was a completely different feeling from the past.
He can calmly observe all the details within sight, and he is not afraid of being discovered by Filch, who is watching the night.
“Where should I go?” He stopped, thinking, until his heart was pounding.
Suddenly, he remembered—the restricted area of the library! He can read as much as he wants there until he finds out what sacred Le May is.
Harry wrapped the invisibility cloak tightly around him again, and then walked forward.
The inside of the library is pitch black, and almost nothing can be seen when I look inside, and it is even more ghastly than during the day.
Harry had to exit to make sure that Filch was not outside, only to turn on a light and walk it across the bookshelves. The lamp looked like it was floating in the air. Although Harry felt he was holding it with his hands, the sight still made the initiator feel creepy.
The forbidden book zone is in the deepest part of the library. Harry cautiously stepped over the isolating rope that was halfway across his waist and raised the light to check the title of the book.
However, he didn’t see any clue from the title of the book.
The peeling, faded bronzing letters spelled out words that Harry couldn’t understand. And some books don’t even have titles at all.
There is a dark stain on a book. It looked like blood stains, which made Harry feel terrible.
Harry stood between the bookshelves, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He felt that there was a burst of whispers in those books, and it seemed that those books knew that there was a person who shouldn’t be standing here, and was looking at them secretly.
This may be his hallucination, but it doesn’t seem to be.
Harry felt like he had to start somewhere, he couldn’t be so stunned.
So he placed the lamp carefully on the floor and looked down the bottom of the bookshelf, looking for a book that looked interesting.
He suddenly saw a striking silver-gray book tightly sandwiched next to a large book with a dark green spine. The book was not very heavy, and Harry held it up and opened the cover.
Suddenly, a gleam of blue and green light flashed on the pages of the book, and they flipped around on their own.
Harry quickly held them down to stop them making any more noises. But the next moment, he saw several lines of words written on the edge of the page. He is familiar with these fonts-they are almost exactly the same as the writing style in the Occidental Handbook that Maca gave him.
This is Maca’s handwriting! He has been here too, and he also wrote some notes on it.
This is a banned book zone! How did Maca get in? Does he also have a way to hide? To save others by oneself, Harry guessed the correct answer almost instantly by coincidence.
He tried to understand through the notes left by Maca, what Maca came here for.
Unfortunately, Harry found that when these lines broke each word apart, he knew it; but if it was a sentence, he didn’t recognize it at all.
He turned a few pages back and forth, and finally had to put it back on the bookshelf with a disappointed look.
Suddenly, he accidentally scratched the big and thick dark green book next to it-this book looked too huge, and it was forcibly clamped on the shelf by the book next to it.
Seeing that the book was about to fall, Harry was taken aback. If it falls on the ground, it may completely break the surrounding silence!
He hurriedly leaned forward, trying to hold this heavy book in his hands——
“Hmm.” Harry couldn’t help groaning.
Fortunately, even though the back of my hand had dull pain from hitting the hard floor, at least there was no noticeable sound.
After reassuring a little, Harry looked at the big book in his hand. It had a rough dark green cover and was surprisingly sinking. This made Harry very curious about it.
He opened the cover carefully and found that every page of this book was actually made of a firm and delicate bark!
The edges of the pages are slightly yellow, but it can be seen that they should be off-white. Some of the parts of the experiment log in it were pretty straightforward, and even Harry could see what it was talking about.
“To transform the blood of humans? The blood of various magical creatures?”
Harry was frightened by the deformed human illustrations inside, he staggered back a few steps, and hurriedly closed the big book about weird magic.
On the dark green cover, its name is faintly carved-“The Book of Druids (The Book of Druids)”, and in the lower right corner of the cover, the word “Merlin” is written impressively.
Speaking of Nicole LeMay, Harry may not remember for a while, but the name “Merlin” is a famous wizard that even ordinary Muggles know!
He once appeared in the Muggle world, fostered the eternal king in Celtic legend-King Arthur, guided him to the world-famous sword in the lake, and unified England that was in turmoil.
Today’s Sir Merlin in the magical world was founded by Merlin. Every wizard is excited to receive a medal from him. Dumbledore has a Merlin First Class Medal.
Such a great wizard, but why did he write such a terrifying magic book? Pressing down on the anxiety in his heart, Harry turned the page again, and he wanted to continue to look back.
Just then, he heard a regular sound of footsteps outside the library. Is it Filch?
He hurriedly turned off the lantern on the ground, then carefully stuffed the book into its original position to make sure it didn’t fall again.
has not gained anything yet, but he knows he must go.
As Filch dragged a heavy step past him not far, he even felt his heart burst out. Harry realized that he might still see the light or some other reason, and was looking around with a frown.
While Filch walked slowly in, Harry quietly left the library. Before leaving, he glanced at the forbidden book zone-he would come again.
“You should wake me up.” Ron said angrily.
“You can come tonight, I want to read that book.” Harry said, “This is a big secret about Merlin, and I haven’t found out who Nick LeMay is! “
”About that big secret~IndoMTL.com~Ron said, “Sounds like very interesting, bloodline transformation? Maybe we can become as powerful as giants! “
“You have some smoked bacon or something else, why don’t you eat anything?”
Harry felt that he had a little loss of appetite. He didn’t expect that there are so many secrets hidden in the forbidden book zone!
What did Maca write in that book? Is Merlin as respectable as the rumors? Who is Nick LeMay? What exactly is that big dog guarding? Why did Snape steal it?
There are more and more things that make him puzzled, which makes him feel a little anxious.
The second time they used the invisibility cloak, because Ron was also covered in it, it was inconvenient to move, so they walked much slower.
“It’s really cold at night in winter!” Ron whispered softly, “Should we stop looking for it, shall we go back?”
“No!” Harry said in a deep voice, “We must find out as soon as possible, who exactly is Nicol LeMay? Snape must not have a good idea!”
It didn’t take long for them to come to the restricted book area of the library again. Regardless of Merlin’s book, the two began to search for Nick LeMay.
After a while, they found a lot of scary content in those strange and dangerous banned books. For example, demons and temptations, and soul and death…
Many evil-sounding magic abounds here, but I haven’t found even a word related to Nick LeMay.
“It seems that there is not even the forbidden book zone!” Ron said while shaking, and he felt his feet were freezing.
In desperation, Harry opened the big dark green book again—he wanted to at least clarify this question before speaking.
