Chapter 117: The Northern Wing
As much as William would love to bask in the feel of watching his beloved sleep and let his hands careless her soft skin and listen to her steady heartbeat, he would skip it for just tonight.
So the moment he laid her on the bed and tucked her in until she was comfortable he walked out of their chambers, Severus was already waiting for him with a lamp.
He bowed the moment he set his eyes on his master coming out of the chambers. William spared no words as he walked ahead and Severus followed behind, they walked their way to the library but still went deeper, passing through the trillions of shelves, but for them, it was nothing but a sport. Until they got to a large door, bigger than any in this castle, and reached the very ceiling of the hall.
William stood before the door, his crystal gaze fixated on it before he closed his eyes and the sound of his ever slow beating heart echoed in the hall, before picking up in pace unnaturally.
☆lub-dub☆
The dark giant door sensing the beating heartbeat of the arbiter and master of this place, unlocked, the mere sound echoing in the entire area.
The large design just at the center of it, like a keyhole, moved, the spirals and circles shifting and giving way, responding solely to William’s loud heartbeat, and then a dividing came and the doors spread open with a loud sound.
William and Severus walked through it into a whole new library altogether, but this library was different for it is the Northern Wing for Forbidden Knowledge and hence the name the entire library was made of nothing but frozen ice, even the shelves reaching the same frozen ceiling, the chairs frozen ice too. The books kept on the ice shelves were enclosed in blocks of ice matching each size, it was a seal placed on them because some books not read are powerful and gave off aura enough to harm any mystical creature.
They were just as dangerous, but here they kept safe and out of reach.
