In the afternoon, the Gryffindor common room was crowded with students, and everyone was sitting on the sofa chatting.
The sofa seating in the common room was limited. There were too many people, and it is crowded and noisy. Albert had no idea of staying in the common room. He posted the first-year classes schedule on the bulletin board. After returning from the dormitory, he went directly to the library on the fifth floor of the castle.
There were no other students in the library, and yes, even from Ravenclaw students, very few would enter the library before the official start of school.
There was only Madam Irma Pince, the librarian, in the library. She sat alone behind the counter and was reading quietly.
When Albert walked to the counter, she raised her head, seeming a little surprised that someone would come to the library at this time.
"Madam, excuse me. I'm looking for some books on spells. Do you know which shelf they are on?" Albert asked softly.
Albert could find it by himself, but there were a lot of books there, and looking for any specific book would be time-consuming, laborious, and unpleasant. Asking the librarian directly was the fastest way.
Madam Pince glanced at Albert, raised her finger to a row of wooden bookshelves and said, "Zone C, the fifth bookshelf."
Albert looked in the direction of the finger, and after thanking her, he walked towards the bookshelf in Zone C. His gaze paused, he stopped for a while on the rope leading to the restricted area and continued to walk in. In the fifth shelf, there were many books about spells.
When Albert stretched his hand across the spines of the books, his fingers couldn't help but pause, because his panel unexpectedly popped up with two tasks.
[Read like a madman]
[As a reader who likes to read, how can you miss the largest magic library in the entire UK? Read a total of 100 1-inch thick books.]
[Reward: Mastery of 3 random magic charms till level 3]
[Progress: 0/100]
[Restricted Section]
[There are many secrets hidden in the restricted book zone of Hogwarts. As a magic lover, how can you miss it? If you can borrow a few books from it to study carefully, it will help improve your magic level.
Successfully persuade five professors to allow you to borrow five books from the restricted area.]
[Reward: The bonus skill level increases by 1 level]
[Progress: 0/5]
Both tasks were difficult.
It was not easy to finish reading a hundred books, and especially with the condition that they had to be 1 inch thick. Was this asking him to finish reading a hundred brick books?
This task couldn't be completed in a moment, but it could be read within three years.
The second task was even worse. It was not easy to get the Restricted Section pass from the professors.
Moreover, it was not easy to obtain signed notes from five professors.
According to Albert, the easiest would probably be Lockhart.
However, while the difficulty was high, the rewards were also rich, and the skill level would be increased by 1, which was much more powerful than the skill points.
Now that these tasks were gone through, Albert eliminated distractions and drew out a book of spells. The name of this book was "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century."
He opened the catalogue and counted. There were thirty-three kinds of spells on it, each of which recorded in detail the inventor of the spell, how to use the spell correctly, and what meaning its invention brought.
After reading the catalogue, Albert lost interest in the book, as he did not find the Disillusionment Charm in the catalogue.
Although the other spells were good, they were temporarily useless for Albert. To learn these spells, it would take a lot of time and energy, or the use of stored experience pools.
Although the experience pool still has a lot of experience, Albert doesn't want to use it.
Putting the "Selected Curses of the Eighteenth Century" back into the bookshelf, Albert pulled out another called "The Achievement of the Charms", which was a book introducing charms, and Albert found the Disillusionment Charm in it.
Unfortunately, the book did not introduce the method of casting the disillusionment spell, it only introduces some attempts of the spell.
However, from the information provided, Albert found relevant records of the Disillusionment Charm in "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century".
This was undoubtedly good news.
Albert took the "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century" and sat at the desk in the library, opened the book, and started reading it carefully.
The invention of the disillusionment charm was inspired by the chameleon, and the spell could make people blend into the surrounding environment to achieve the effect of invisibility.
It was not easy for a wizard to use the disillusionment charms, as it was difficult to achieve the feat of invisibility. This was because the body could not naturally blend into the surroundings.
After Albert concentrated on reading the related knowledge of the disillusionment charm, he looked up. He the Ravenclaw girl he met in the great hall that morning.
As if perceiving Albert's sight, she also looked up, nodded slightly at Albert, and returned her attention to the book.
"It's the Ravenclaw," Albert muttered in a low voice and continued to read the precautions for the disillusionment charm, preparing to find a place to practice.
Next, all that needed to be done was to find the counter charm for the disillusionment charm.
Although the duration of the disillusionment charm would not be too long, if he didn't master the way to counter the spell, you would need to wait for the effect of the spell to disappear before he could become visible. This would not be a good idea.
There was no relevant record at the end of the spell, but Albert found the Counter Charm in "Achievement of the Curse".
Albert took the "Selected Curses of the Nineteenth Century" and went to Madam Pince to go through the procedures for borrowing books. He picked up a stone outside the castle as a target for practice. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to use the spells he did not master on himself.
As Albert was considering where to practice the spell, the Weasley twins and Lee appeared in the hall panting.
"Where did you go at noon?" Albert asked, looking at the three of them.
"Fifth floor, mirror." George ran out of breath and couldn't even speak.
"Where does that passage lead?" Albert asked.
"Outside the castle, to Hogsmeade Village." There was an excited smile on Fred's face. On the first day they came to Hogwarts, they found a secret road leading outside the school.
Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "So...you have played in Hogsmeade for a few hours before returning?"
"No, that secret passage is very long. We walked for at least an hour."
"You are....wow!" Albert managed to squeeze out this sentence, as it would be a torment for him to walk for an hour.
"This is the book." Albert raised the book in his hand and said, "I borrowed it in the library."
"You found that charm." Fred realized what Albert was referring to.
"Yes, I found it." Albert admired Fred's wit a little, "However, it is a bit difficult to master this spell. If you want to learn it, you have to be a little prepared."
