Chapter 19: Becoming His Student {2}
This was the most amazing thing I have ever seen... This was simply breathtaking, my eyes were gazing upon something so magical. What is this place exactly? This was enough to stun anyone. The moment the giant door opened my eyes feasted upon an endless row of books... kept on twisted shelves like a curve, bending all the way to the tallest ceiling I have ever seen.
It was so tall, so elongated and my mouth was left open as I looked all the way up. What made it more breathtaking was the floating books in several places. I closed my eyes and shook my head before opening them once again but I still met with such wonder... I thought I might be dreaming but I definitely wasn’t.
The books floating looked like they were arranging themselves even to the tallest of shelves, how was this possible? What kind of sorcery is this?
A chuckle came before me. "Magic"
I turned my trembling gaze to Severus who looked at me with a smile on his lips, my cheek tainted pink by his attention.
"This is magic," he added again with amusement.
’Magic’ I turned my eyes back to the splendor, this was the most remarkable thing I have ever seen! Magic was beautiful.
"This is the extension of this place, this is the Holy library" he explains as he leads the way and I follow. We were both like ants in this enormous place.
"Knowledge, Grimoires, books from the beginning of time as well as things beyond what any mortals can’t comprehend lies in this very place. Books you will never get to see in your lifetime, pieces of knowledge that not even you or I can comprehend, sleep in this place and..." he halts.
And I did too.
"Our master is the caretaker of this place, he is the spirit that keeps this knowledge in place and protected and also keeps it away from unwanted beings"
’Unwanted beings’? Like thieves? Definitely thieves.
