Chapter 58 – Leaving The Scriptorium
The place was a treasure vault, plain and simple. We found many manuals of ancient rituals and spells, books about potions, runes, and other obscure fields that Salazar himself dabbled in. Our biggest hurdle was translating the texts that could take who knows how long... And looking at the quantity of books? This may even take decades.
"What now?" She asked as we stood in the middle watching the antique desk, the magically preserved ink and parchment, and the previous' office' of one of the founding fathers of Hogwarts.
"We can't take everything away. It's too much, and it would be too dangerous. It gets discovered, and we would be dragged away and questioned where we got it!"
"We truly can't tell this to anyone..."
"Not even my Father!" I warned her, "He always told me to be careful... and if I find something beneficial, he won't ask me for details."
"Still... I think... well, okay. I won't argue. I like him, and I believe your family." She shrugged, giving up on it in the end.
"I say we take this!" I continued, holding up the codex with the three main curses. "We won't be taught them until we are in the 5th year! I say, let's go ahead and do it! If the Malfoys are a danger, I don't think Lucius wouldn't teach it to Draco!"
"I agree! Let's take this too!" She held up another codex, a potion maker's wet dream, detailing many lost recipes.
"Um! Let's find our way out first and get an idea of how to come back! When we finish with one book, we can move on to another! I think... I have an idea of what I want to become when I grow old!"
"Oh? And that is?" Quincy asked, watching me with a curious look.
"A Professor here, then become the Headmaster! Then I can come and go any time!"
