"Controlling Emotions, The Foundation of Stable Spells"?" Mrs. Pince was a little surprised when she heard that, she looked at Kewen and said, "It's a very unpopular book, few students borrow it, where did you hear it? said?"
"Professors McGonagall and Flitwick recommended me to borrow it." Ke Wen replied truthfully.
"So that's how it is." Mrs. Ping Si understood, nodded and said, "Come here and fill out a borrowing form."
"Good lady." Ke Wen stepped forward, took the quill from the other party, and filled it out on the borrowing form.
After completing the filling, Ke Wen inserted the quill pen into the ink bottle, stood up and asked, "Madam, can you tell me which shelf is that book on? You know, there are more than a thousand bookshelves in the entire library. I’m afraid I can’t find where that book is.”
"Of course." Mrs. Pince said and raised her hand, pointing to an area of the library: "Over there, on the shelf number 316, if I remember correctly, it should be on the second shelf from the top of the shelf."
"Okay." Ke Wen got the answer, and after a reply, he couldn't wait to turn around and walk in the direction pointed by Mrs. Pince.
Behind him, Mrs. Pince's warning sounded: "By the way, be careful when climbing the ladder."
"I will be careful, thank you Madam for reminding me." Ke Wen turned his head and smiled and thanked.
It didn't take long for Ke Wen on the ladder to find the books. Because he couldn't help being curious, he simply didn't climb down the bookshelf ladder first, but flipped through the books as soon as he got them.
There are more spells recorded in the book than in the previous book. There are "calming spells" that can reverse one's emotions when you fall into negative emotions, and there are several spells that can make people feel happy, happy and other positive emotions.
At the back of the book is a very long essay. Ke Wen took a quick look at the beginning and found that it was a treatise on the relationship between emotions, spells, and wizard personalities.
Without continuing to read, Ke Wen closed the book contentedly, and then climbed down from the bookshelf ladder.
After Mrs. Pince greeted him, Ke Wen left the library and returned to the dormitory to start reading.
…
Time flies by, late autumn passes in a blink of an eye, and winter arrives.
In the past few months, Ke Wen gradually discovered that he seemed to have overcome the crisis of trust without doing anything. Principal Dumbledore never peeped at him, and the professors did not alienate him, but they were more interested in his study and life. took care of.
As a result, Ke Wen also gradually let go of his defenses, stopped being an actor, and only being his true self every day, spending most of his time on studying.
Occasionally when I am in a good mood, I will also participate in gossip chats among some classmates, unlike when I first entered school, I would seem a little withdrawn.
Because Cowen's life pattern is basically between the cafeteria, classroom, and dormitory, he got several nicknames-Gryffindor nerd, Ravenclaw spy, and enemy of the sorting hat.
Of course, these nicknames are all jokes, and it's just a joke that Ke Wen seems to have been assigned to the wrong college.
But if Kewen really transferred to Ravenclaw, I am afraid that no Gryffindor would agree. After all, after a few months, Kewen has already added more than 150 points to Gryffindor.
Even with Professor Snape's continuous favor and extra points for the Slytherins, Gryffindor's 'house points' are still overwhelming, 20 points higher than Slytherin House.
This allowed Corwen to hang out in Gryffindor, allowing him to talk to students of all grades.
In a blink of an eye, Christmas is coming, and the students are looking forward to the short holiday of Christmas. Except for Cowen, of course. After all, he didn't understand why the wizard still celebrated the Holy See's festival. Logically speaking, the two should be sworn enemies.
For this reason, Ke Wen also went to the library to check the information, and finally found that there were two reasons.
One reason is the old version, because the so-called "witch removal movement" in the Muggle world was a joke.
The wizards at that time were very keen to molest the Holy See, and they were caught by the Holy See on purpose, and then used various spells to protect their own safety when they were executed, and then watched the various reactions and faces of the Muggles in the execution ground jokingly.
In the early days, this kind of behavior was very popular among wizards, and the "Fire Repelling Curse" became a compulsory spell for almost all wizards. Most wizards liked to pretend to scream and Watching the Muggles' reactions playfully.
Therefore, in order to highlight the nobility of wizards and the foolishness of Muggles, the wizarding world also made the Christmas of the Holy See a holiday for wizards to have fun collectively on the festival day and share their experiences of molesting Muggles.
As for the second reason, it originated in modern times.
Due to the gradual reform of the wizarding world, children from Muggle and mixed-race families were more attracted and entered into the wizarding world in modern times.
As a result, Christmas in the wizarding world has also been assimilated by more and more Muggles and half-blood wizards. Therefore, Christmas gradually lost its past meaning, and the festival eventually became what it looked like in the Muggle world.
…
The night before the Christmas holidays.
Cowen finished reading Ollivander's letter, and then spread out the letter paper to reply.
It is customary to complain that there are too many things that I want to learn, and that I feel that my time and memory are not enough, and then write the learning situation and bonus points of this week into the letter.
In the end, Cowen stated in the letter that instead of Ollivander going to the train station to pick him up, he would go to Penello's house as a guest first, and then take the Knight bus back to Diagon Alley by himself.
After checking the reply letter from the beginning, and finding nothing missing, Kewen called the owl '咻咻' and handed the letter paper to it.
"Good boy, you don't have to go back to school after delivering the letter." Ke Wen raised his hand and gently stroked the owl's back feathers, and said softly, "Just stay in the wand shop, I'll be back tomorrow."
"Oou—" Xuxiu responded twice in a very understandable human language, and then, pushed by Kewen's arm, flew out of the bedroom window and disappeared into the night sky.
This time, Kewen no longer watched Shixiu leave, but immediately closed the window of the dormitory.
Because since the winter, the wind outside the window has been blocked by the castle, which makes it seem a bit howling. Even if the window is blocked every night, it still can't stop the sound of crying and howling from entering the bedroom.
For this reason, Ke Wen had to ask Professor Flitwick to learn a "Silencing Charm" specially, and add a spell to the window every day before going to bed, so as to ensure that he can be safe within a few hours of the spell taking effect. fall asleep.
Good night.
In the morning of the next day, regardless of the cold weather, Kewen practiced exercising on the edge of the cliff, and then returned to the auditorium for breakfast.
After breakfast, the students took their salutes and left the school together, heading to the station...
