Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Just now, Ivan taught Elaine the spell to quickly look up words in the book, and she couldn't wait to use it.

The child seemed to regard this as a game, and almost half of the books in the entire library were controlled by her to fly up.

Chapter 1654 Reading Comprehension

Elaine shook her wand excitedly, and countless magic books flew past in the low sky.

Along with the flying magic book, her body also swayed rhythmically.

She must have regarded this as a game. Aiwen looked at Elaine helplessly. Before, letting the child read some books was like forcing her to take a very bitter medicine. She had never been so active as she is now, even if she was preparing for the OWLs exam last year. It was Ivan and Hermione who took her to review semi-forcedly, and tried every means to get her to read.

Like now, it was something that was unimaginable before.

Of course, the trouble caused was also catastrophic.

Ivan regretted a little, why did he agree to let Elaine come over to help.

It is very likely that she will miss important information after such a few glances. He has to read these books slowly afterwards, and because Elaine confused the classification and age of the books, Ivan needs to spend a lot of time sorting them out. There are tens of thousands of magic books in the entire Black family library. Just thinking about this number is tiring.

Elaine is completely doing a disservice now, she has greatly increased Ivan's workload!

"Elaine!" Ivan shouted a few times, trying to stop her, but got no response at all, and he looked at Hermione for help.

In most cases, Elaine still listened to Hermione very much, but Hermione obviously didn't want to care about it, she shook her head slightly at Ivan, gave her a self-seeking look, and hugged Her thick map of ancient Greece curled up inside the large sofa, leaving Ivan alone to face Elaine.

Ivan sighed, he understood what Hermione meant, and it seemed that he was the only one to solve this trouble.

Elaine is not the kind of child who is easy to obey. It may be easy to stop her, but it is difficult to keep her quiet for a long time.

In this matter, if I can't make it right, Ivan will have to bleed a little...

It's real bleeding, at least you need to have this kind of consciousness. It is a very dangerous behavior to interrupt the vampire's interest casually.

Of course, Ivan can also wait until Elaine has played enough or is tired, and she will naturally stop at that time.

But judging by this posture, it will probably be a few hours later!

Ivan turned his head and looked at Elaine for a while, and after confirming that Elaine did not mean to stop, he raised his wand.

In an instant, hundreds of flying magic books stopped in the air.

Elaine's movements also stopped abruptly, and she looked around blankly, then turned her head to look at Ivan, her fair face was full of doubts.

The excitement was gradually fading from that face that was as delicate as a porcelain doll but could not see the slightest trace of blood.

"What's going on, why stop my magic?" She asked slightly dissatisfied.

"Well, Elaine, I think the way you read is a little wild..."

"Unrestrained?!" Elaine raised her eyebrows.

"It's just that we didn't read carefully. We should check these magic books more carefully to make sure that all the information is not missing."

"But when you taught me this magic before, you clearly said that we should focus on efficiency." Elaine stared at Ivan with piercing eyes, imitating his tone and said, "Don't look too carefully, Elaine, we don't have time , There are too many magic books in the Black family library, no one knows which book contains the information we want to know, maybe there may not be in it, if that is the case, reading all these books is a waste Time, and what we lack most now is time..."

"Uh, I really think I said that." Ai Wen was stunned, he paused and continued, "But there is another premise for what I said just now, we must pay attention to efficiency on the basis of careful reading, the Black family's collection of books It is already very complete. Except for the Hogwarts library, there may not be a more complete collection of books in the UK than here. These books may contain extremely important information. We must not miss it, so we must be serious To read, to analyze, to research, you understand?"

"It seems not!" Elaine shook her head.

"Just look at these books carefully."

"But I'm just checking it! At least before you hinder me, I'm doing it, and I think I'm doing it very seriously."

"No, Elaine, you have to be more careful. The spell I taught you is just an auxiliary way of reading. It will help us find the information we need quickly, but we still need to read the information carefully. Aiwen said, "You should know that the home of the house elves may have other names in the ancient magic books, so we need to make a judgment. The information in the magic books you read before is all combined with the context. Has the content been judged?"

"No!" Elaine shook her head slowly, "It sounds troublesome!"

"It is very troublesome. This is called reading and comprehension. It is an ability that requires long-term contact to master."

"Reading comprehension?!" Elaine snorted, "What kind of ability is this? Is it the magic of human wizards?"

"That's right, it's a kind of magic, just like Occlumency, it's a difficult magic. I can't guarantee that vampires can master it. After all, there is no such precedent." Ivan said casually, "This magic is very difficult. , is not very useful, especially for a beginner like you, it may take a lot of time and effort to get started. Reading requires patience, Elaine. How about, do you want to stay and practice this magic? Or, go to sleep Sleep?"

Based on Ivan's understanding of Elaine, she would usually retreat quickly after saying this.

What Elaine lacks the most is patience. The vampire blood has already guaranteed that she will be born with a lot of difficult magic, so there is no need to continue to learn the wizard's spells.This was the case at Hogwarts before, most of the time she had a taste of what the professors said.

Sometimes, when this knowledge conflicts with what she has mastered, she will mock it...

Ivan looked at Elaine expectantly, and she really hesitated.

"Troublesome?" she asked.

"That's right, it's very troublesome!" Ivan replied seriously, trying not to laugh, "I don't think you would want to waste time here."

"No, I intend to stay."

"Huh?" Ivan blinked.

"You and Hermione need help. I'm not like Harry, who is still sleeping in bed with my head covered at this time, and in fact, I had enough sleep last night, and I don't want to sleep now!" Elaine narrowed her eyes and looked at Aiwen seemed to have noticed something, and said with some doubts, "You said so much, don't you want to drive me out?"

Chapter 1655 Poor Dobby

"You said so much, do you want to drive me out?" Elaine narrowed her eyes and asked.

Found out? !

Even if the other party is Elaine, she won't believe the nonsense that "reading comprehension" is a kind of advanced magic.

But Aiwen didn’t talk nonsense, at least as far as he knew, in the distant eastern magic world, magic schools would systematically train wizards to master reading comprehension skills, and even researched and invented a lot of spells in this field, it is said that because Their level exams for wizards are usually based on written exams, and the test papers are very difficult. There are a lot of magic analysis questions that are beyond practical application. If you can't quickly figure out what the questioner said, it will be difficult to pass the wizard level exam .

Therefore, reading comprehension plays a very important role in this purely theoretical test.

Another reason is that the ancient civilizations in the oriental magic world are usually too long.

The magic books and materials they survived were recorded in the ancient runes and writing methods, which are also very esoteric and difficult to understand. Only those wizards who are very proficient in ancient runes, ancient history, Chinese studies and reading comprehension can understand those. The true meaning expressed in ancient grimoires.

So, reading comprehension is really a very important skill, both for Muggles and wizards.

As for Elaine's question, Ivan thought about nodding and answered yes, he wanted to drive the kid out now.

But he doubted that if he really said that, he might not be able to get rid of the trouble of Elaine for a whole day.

"Elaine, I would like you to stay and help." Ai Wenyan said insincerely, "Hermione and I both think so."

Behind her, Hermione, who was curled up in the sofa, snorted heavily, as if protesting against Ivan's words.

Aiwen pretended not to hear, and he quickly brought the topic back, "You can stay, as long as you want, I will teach you how to read and comprehend. Like Occlumency, this magic... skill needs to be done first. The most important thing is to concentrate, you need to read a book seriously and maintain enough patience."

"Even if that book is very boring?"

"That's right, even if the book is very boring, you have to read it as much as possible." Ivan nodded and said, "This is the first step in mastering reading comprehension. If you agree to stay, you must do it. Make trouble, don't make any noise, don't use the magic just now, just sit quietly and read a book, can you do it?"

"It's hard to say!" Elaine thought for a while and replied, "If you can give me five bloody lollipops, I think I will maintain this patience."

"I can only give you one, too much sugar is bad for your teeth."

"No, at least five, you haven't given me candy since the day before yesterday!"

"Because you yelled that you had a toothache." Ivan said.

"This is a very dangerous signal." Hermione interrupted without raising her head, "Ivan is right, Elaine, you must control the amount of sugar you eat, Merlin, you eat too much sugar , I haven’t seen you stop during the whole summer vacation. My father told me that if the teeth are not cleaned in time and in place after eating sugar, the sugar in the mouth will easily turn into acidic substances and cause tooth corrosion, so I think……"

As Hermione said, Ivan nodded to Elaine.

Elaine opened her mouth, as if she didn't know how to refute Hermione, she didn't even know what acid was.

Countless past experiences told her that it was best not to argue with Hermione at this time.

Otherwise, the results are usually not very good.

Elaine did not speak, but stretched out her open hand to Ivan, slapped aggressively, and made a "five" gesture.

"No!" Ivan made a mouth shape and pressed down her fingers one by one.

It was difficult to do this, because Elaine looked at Ivan with teary eyes, silently resisting, as if he had done something cruel.

Then, after Ivan struggled to turn Elaine's tiny hand into a fist, she finally made a compromise.

She stretched out three fingers again, while making a coquettish begging gesture.

Ignoring Elaine's continuous grievances, Ivan firmly pressed her finger down again.

"You have to listen to Hermione, Elaine, her father is a dentist and has a great say in this regard." Ivan said.

"What is a dentist?" Elaine wondered.

"It's a Muggle profession similar to the therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds. They are therapists who specialize in treating teeth. They are experts in this field." Aiwen continued, "If you have tooth decay, you know What do Muggle healers do? They usually pull out your teeth one by one."

"Tooth extraction?!" Elaine's eyes widened immediately, "Why did they do this?"

"Because dentists believe it's the most effective way to treat broken teeth," said Hermione.

"It's really scary!"

"You sure don't want to pull your teeth?" After getting an affirmative answer, Aiwen continued, "So, I can only give you a bloody lollipop, it's for your own good, you can eat it here, by the way Practice your reading comprehension with this... well, The Quibbler."

"Aren't we looking for information on house-elf homes? What's in The Quibbler? Slugs?"

"Mr. Lovegood has collected a lot of information, maybe there is something we need in it." Ivan said, stuffing the "Quieter" into Elaine's hands, he didn't think there would be anything in "The Quibbler" Information about the home of the house elves, but at least this magazine will not be so boring, and it can make Elaine quiet for a while.

"Well, thank you for "The Quibbler." Elaine took the magazine resignedly, "Give me the candy..."

Then came the voice of Dobby the house-elf from above, who seemed to be running down the stairs.

"Master Aiwen, Master Aiwen..."

Hearing Dobby's voice, Elaine's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I think I can go up and read this magazine, and let Dobby come with me..."

"No, Elaine!" Aiwen shook his head and refused, "You just watch here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You secretly asked Dobby to go to Hogsmeade to buy it for you last semester." I already knew about the candy. You are not allowed to do this in the future, and you must return the money you bought for the candy to Dobby, which is his wages."

Hearing Aiwen's words, the smile on Elaine's face froze, and her expression was quite surprised, "How do you know this, it's obviously between me and Dobby..."

"Dobby is an honest house elf, he never lies." Ivan praised, looking at the house elf Dobby who appeared at the entrance.

"Hmph, but he promised me not to tell anyone else." Elaine said angrily. She swung her wand vigorously, and the magic book floating in the air lost control and fell heavily. Dobby the house-elf buried below, "I'll give the money back to that house-elf who is going back on his word, my uncle is right, this creature has no trust at all, no credit at all, and it's not like I won't give money , just owed a few days..."

Chapter 1656 Unexpected whereabouts

Poor Dobby, when Ivan rescued him from the pile of books, he was knocked out and passed out.

"Dobby, Dobby!" Ivan squatted down and patted Dobby gently, found a bottle of healing potion and poured it down for him.

"Is he okay?" Elaine asked worriedly, stretching her neck behind the desk and looking at Ivan to check for Dobby.

She had buried Dobby alive with the magic book on impulse just now, and felt very guilty after she calmed down.

Now it looks a little scared, and I don't even have the mood to eat lollipops.

"It's nothing, just passed out temporarily, let him rest here for a while, and he will recover soon." Ivan tapped the bottom of the bottle with his fingers, poured the last drop of potion into Dobby's mouth, and then He stood up and put away the empty bottle and said, "But you must apologize to Dobby for what you did just now, Elaine."

"I know..." Elaine whispered.

"You are abusing the house elves!" Hermione said sternly, "What you did just now was very dangerous, if..."

"I know!" said Elaine, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, and I will apologize to Dobby."

"If you sincerely apologize and are willing to keep quiet, I think Dobby will forgive you." Ai Wen shook his wand as he spoke, and the books piled on the ground moved back to the bookshelf. Worried, the house elf is in good shape. Dobby will be fine, I've seen him hurt much worse than this before, he did it when he punished himself, think about it, use your head hard Go hit the wall, put your finger directly under the iron, or..."

"Evan!" Hermione shouted dissatisfied.

"What I want to say is that even so, he recovered in the end." Aiwen said, "The physical resilience of house elves is much stronger than that of humans, and Dobby is also healthy, so don't worry too much, but he He ran down in a hurry, as if he had something to tell us..."

"Maybe you want to ask us what we will eat later?"

"I think trout is fine."

"Well, I want to eat dragon blood pudding, or blood cake, it's better to put more sugar in it..."

"It's okay to have some fish and chips, Dobby knows this dish." Ivan said, and pulled out the thick magic history book closest to him.

After tossing around for so long, he can finally read a book quietly for a while. The book he took out is about the first war between wizards and giants, goblins, and house elves. Because the time is too long, it contains a lot of mythology The story seems very illusory, but Ivan thinks there may be some clues in it.

After this incident, Elaine has been very honest, flipping through the book "The Quibbler" that Ai Wensai gave her boredly.

The underground library finally returned to silence, save for the rustling of pages turning or the tip of Hermione's quill across the parchment.Ai Wen originally thought that this silence would last the whole afternoon, but before 10 minutes, Elaine suddenly jumped up from his seat, waving the "Quieter" vigorously in his hand.

"Elaine, what's the matter with you? You just promised to keep quiet."

"It's not me, it's this magazine, you two, come and see what I found in it!" Elaine said excitedly.

"What can we find from "The Quibbler", the Horned Beast or the Harassing Gadfly?!" Hermione raised her head from the pile of books again and asked disdainfully.
