"This is amazing!"

Harry looked at the spacious and bright room in front of him, and couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

Although the room he lived in in the Clark family's castle was bigger and more magnificent than the one in front of him, it was also someone else's room.

Only this, the room that his godfather arranged for him, can be regarded as a real home that belongs to him completely!

Excitedly, Harry reached out and touched the velvet quilt on the bed, which was so soft and comfortable that it was so different from the one he had in Uncle Vernon's house.

He opened the wardrobe standing by the wall again, and found that there were several brand-new robes, all of the latest styles.

"I don't know your size, so I had to buy a few magic robes, they can automatically change to fit the body, if you don't like this style..." Sirius explained a little embarrassedly, Harry was very concerned about these new clothes. But can't put it down.

"No, I like it, you know..." Harry said, his voice changing. "I was still picking up my cousin Dudley's old clothes to wear!"

Sirius heard what he said so pitifully, he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him tightly, "No, no, Harry, I swear, this is your home from now on, you really I won't let you go back to that kind of life again!"

Looking at the godfather and godson who had an emotional exchange there, Clark wisely exited the room, taking it with him and closing the door.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't let him wait for long. Soon Sirius opened the room again, but Clark, who was keen-eyed, immediately noticed that this guy's eyes were red. Obviously, the mood and atmosphere were in place just now. , he must have cried.

But Clark didn't mention this, and the stronger Sirius naturally wouldn't show his weak side, only Harry, who followed behind Sirius, was still wiping tears.

"Okay, shall we stroll around again and visit this room? Or shall we go straight to the topic?" Sirius asked, looking directly at Clark.

"Let's get to the point, it's already been very disturbing today," Clark said.

Sirius nodded without saying much, and took him and Harry back to the first floor, carefully bypassing Mrs. Black's portrait, then through the door at the end of the corridor and down the steps to the basement .

"This is the kitchen, and the dining room, of course, I don't usually come here, but if you know how to cook, it can be used. As for counting on Kreacher, you have to be prepared for him to spit in your food. already."

Sirius joked with Harry, and Clark looked around and saw that it was almost as dark as the hall above.

The room was surrounded by rough stone walls, and because there were no windows, the only light source was a few candles suspended above their heads. In addition, it was deep underground, and the whole kitchen was very cloudy.

Only the stove next to the fireplace, because of the smoke, and the surrounding walls were all smoked into a greasy black.

In addition, on the same dark ceiling, some hanging iron pots and iron basins swayed in the dark, looking hideous and terrifying.

Immediately to the left of the kitchen is a small dining room for people to eat. A table that can accommodate many people is pressed against a moldy dark green carpet, and there are many chairs on the side.

In the corner of the small dining room, in the triangular space below the stairs on the first floor, there is a sink, with cobweb-covered wooden cupboards on both sides, filled with silver tableware.

Under the sink, there is a big hole, and there is a moldy torn blanket in the hole. In addition, there are some strange things, which should be the house elf Kreacher.

"Go this way!"

Sirius led the two to the south side of the small dining room, and pulled away a green decorative tapestry hanging on the wall, revealing the blue-black brick wall behind.

He tapped a certain brick on the wall with his wand according to a certain rhythm, and the next moment, just like the wall leading to Diagon Alley from the Leaky Cauldron, the wall in front of Clark and the others also unscrewed, revealing A narrow, steep staircase descended into the ground.

"In the ancient pure blood wizard family, there are usually such secret rooms, which hide some unknown secrets of the family." Sirius said as he took the lead and bent over and walked in.

"That's true." Clark nodded approvingly, and Harry followed behind him as the two walked down the steps together.

After the three of them entered the secret room, the wall behind them closed again with a creaking sound.

Fortunately, Sirius had already lit the torches on the walls of the secret room in advance, which prevented Harry and the others from rolling down the stairs.

"This is the place where the Black family's books are kept, and the place where magic is connected. At least when I leave this house, it is still here..."

The three circled down the stairs in the dark passage, and after a few minutes, they came to a spacious room deep underground.

The sight in front of you is spectacular, the whole room is divided in two by a huge glass wall.

On the left side of the room is a large library with rows of solid wood bookshelves reaching to the ceiling, densely filled with books.

The right side of the room is somewhat similar to the basement of Clark's house. A long table is also filled with various alchemy utensils, but it has been covered with dust because it has not been used for a long time.

Of course, there is no magic circle like the Clark family, instead, there are a few dark cells in the corner, which should be the place where the Black family held the test items.

However, Clark's attention was not on that. Once he entered here, his eyes did not take his eyes off the small library.

The two walked through the thick glass door with Sirius. As soon as they entered, they found that the place was different from the outside. Whether it was on the ground or on the bookshelf, it was actually very clean.

"After so many years, the protective magic of dust, moisture, and insects is still maintained here!" Clark exclaimed, "It seems that the person who built this library must have been a book lover."

"Maybe it is," Sirius didn't care much about this. "My family's collection of books is basically here, but I have to say some things first."

He looked at Clark with piercing eyes.

"Before you came, I had donated the more dangerous part of the family's collection, the books that recorded the knowledge of evil dark magic, to the Hogwarts school library.

Of course, those books are also included in our deal, so you can pick more of the rest of the books. "

Clark was not surprised by what Sirius said, as he had guessed it would come out as early as when he proposed the deal.

After all, for Gryffindor, who has a strong sense of justice and likes to meddle in his own business, this is also a routine operation.

So Clark just nodded, "Don't worry, I can understand."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Harry and Sirius, and began to shuttle between these bookshelves, ready to choose the part of the harvest that belonged to him.

The entire library is divided into four areas, which are near the right-hand side and the place closest to the exit, where the archives related to the Black family are stored.

Includes a genealogy of the Black family, historical records of family development, and personal biographies of family notables.

This is the first thing anyone who enters this library sees.

Walking along these bookshelves, a large area in the first half is filled with a large number of magic books about transfiguration, alchemy, potions, and various conventional spells.

These books are all common stuff, and many of them are even bought from Clark's Lihen Bookstore. The only thing that stands out is that the number is the largest, with more than ten bookshelves.

Further back, in the second half of the library area, the most common items on the bookshelf are the magic research notes and the like left by members of the Black family in the past.

Clark took out a few books and read them, and found that there were often many whimsical ideas in them, and some even recorded some magical knowledge that was very common in that era but has now been lost.

Of course, the most striking thing is the innermost part of the entire library, the area separated from the front by a rope.

The bookshelves in there were different from the ones in front, all an unpleasant blue-black color.

Obviously, there should be the place where the Black family collects various black magic books.

It's just as Sirius said, the bookshelves are empty at the moment, and there is no book to be seen.

Clark was a little disappointed in this regard, but it did not affect his mood.

Perhaps for someone like Voldemort, only black magic books with powerful records are precious enough.

But for Clark, the reserve of the God of Knowledge, knowledge has never been divided into high and low.

Whether it is art knowledge such as opera music, painting and sculpture, or production knowledge such as planting, hunting, smelting and textiles, or even fighting tactics and magic alchemy, these are the crystallization of wisdom and the most precious wealth in this world.

Compared with these intangible wealth, those gold and silver jewelry will always be used up one day, and those magic tools and alchemy items will all turn into dust one day.

Only knowledge, and only knowledge, will go through the years without changing, sharing and circulating without diminishing.

So compared to the knowledge feast in most of the room, what is the little spicy and exciting seasoning in the corner?

Sirius, who was watching secretly from the side, noticed that when Clark saw the areas of the black magic books that had been evacuated, there was only a hint of disappointment on his face, and then he quickly returned to normal and lingered again. in the sea of ​​books.

"Am I really worrying too much?"

Sirius pondered secretly in his heart, and he remembered what Dumbledore said when he talked about this with Dumbledore and said that he would donate all the dark magic books in his family.

"Although Clark sometimes likes to be a little clever, his essence is not bad. You don't have to worry about him at all."

Now it seems that what Dumbledore said is not wrong, just remembering the situation when they first met, Sirius always had an indescribable but uncomfortable feeling for Clark in his heart.

"Hey, maybe it's because I've been in Azkaban for a long time, and my heart has been affected a little bit badly."

In the end, Sirius can only attribute this problem to himself.

On the other hand, Clark didn't know yet that Sirius was wary of him. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

At this time, he was scanning the books on the shelf very quickly.

Thanks to the maintenance magic circle of the library, these books are well maintained. Through the bronzing letters on the spines, you can know the general content of the book.

Of course, Clark occasionally sees Xingxinxi, picks out a book or two that he is interested in and has not read, and quickly browses it.

If it records knowledge that is very novel to him, then he will pull out the book and put it aside.

After a cursory scan like this, Clark found many surprises in these collections.

In addition to the magical research notes of the Black family members, some whimsy and lost magical knowledge can be found.

In the largest number of conventional magic textbooks, Clark also found some magic books that were out of print.

In this, in addition to partly because the content was later proved to be wrong and stopped printing, there is also a part, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com because the content is too esoteric and obscure, resulting in poor sales at the beginning and gradually disappearing On the shelf in the bookstore.

Many of these out-of-print books, even Clarke had only heard of its name, but had never seen the entity, and now it was found in the Black family's collection, which is really surprising.

Of course, it wasn't these that brought Clark the biggest surprise here.

That's right, Clark didn't expect that the history books that were originally used to show the glory of the Black family, to explain the family's long history, long history, and talented people, were actually the biggest gains of his trip.

You know, although Hogwarts also has a "History of Magic" course, in Clark's view, it is more like a magical interface for children to learn about the history of science.

Yes, he will teach you some of the iconic events that happened in various stages of history, and then let you recite and remember.

Such dry and boring content, coupled with Professor Binns' tedious teaching method, made "History of Magic" the most troublesome course for young wizards.

However, Clark knew that if "mathematics" is the brightest jewel in the crown of modern science, then "history" is the most solid foundation of human civilization.

A civilization without history is like a river without a source, a child without a mother, and ultimately only into a whirlpool of nihilism.

Therefore, according to Clark, who inherited the fragments of the Godhead of the God of Knowledge, these books that recorded part of the "past" of the magic world are many times more precious than those black magic books donated by Sirius.
