The Admiral of Hogwarts

It must be said that as a ship girl from the Italian Royal Navy, Veneto's literary accomplishment is impeccable.

At least for Hugo, if you ignore the flattering content about Lockhart in this poem, the whole poem can be said to have a certain artistic value.

Obviously, as a best-selling novelist, Lockhart has a fatal flaw in his casting ability, but his literary appreciation level is definitely not low. That's why he seemed so excited when he saw this poem.

"Yes, it's you, Miss Veneto! I'm going to add ten points to Ravenclaw." After reciting the poem with deep emotion, Lockhart's face flushed with excitement, and then he reached out and made an inviting gesture to Veneto.

"Of course, I also want to give you another gift. That is to invite you to be the protagonist of my performance today—a banshee."

"I'm very honored, Professor Lockhart." Veneto said, stood up and walked onto the stage, and then performed according to Lockhart's instructions.

"Well done, Veneto—so much like it—and, believe it or not, I rushed past her from the side like this—just like this—and then used the spell to banish the undead—like this—I held my wand tightly with both hands—and then step by step I forced her closer to a mirror—then I slowed down and used the remaining strength to cast a very complicated sealing spell—she let out a miserable scream—Veneto, keep screaming—a little higher in pitch—very good—now she is completely sealed in that mirror. Simple and effective—another city will forever remember me, the hero, who freed them from the daily panic of being attacked by banshees."

The bell rang, and Lockhart stood up.

"Homework: Write a poem about my victory over the banshee! The best one will get several copies of 'Magical Me' signed by the author, and the poem may also be included in the new edition of the appendix to 'Magical Me'."

When Lockhart announced that everyone could leave the classroom, everyone had a painful expression on their faces and rushed to the door.

Only Veneto took a deep breath and put on that impeccable adoring expression again, then walked towards Lockhart with the paper and pen in her hand.

"Is Veneto crazy today?" After leaving the classroom, Hermione asked her brother while standing at the corner of the corridor waiting for Veneto to come out.

"I clearly scolded Lockhart, the liar, with her when I was lying in bed last night. Why did she write such a poem for Lockhart today?"

"Well, I'm not sure about the reason." Hugo turned to his sister and said, then lowered his voice.

"But I believe there must be a reason. After all, Veneto also knows Lockhart's true face, so she wouldn't really regard him as a great adventurer."

Sure enough, after waiting outside for less than a minute, Veneto walked out of the classroom humming a song, while holding a piece of paper in her hand. "Veneto, what's up with you today—" Hermione stepped forward and asked.

But before she could finish her question, Veneto waved the piece of paper in her hand happily and said. "Look, with this note, we can borrow books from the Restricted Section."

"Borrowing books?" Hermione murmured in confusion, then took the note and looked at it. It said something about borrowing a book called 'Transfiguration and Combat', and at the bottom of the note, Lockhart signed his name in cursive.

"You know, the petrification of that cat is a very dangerous sign." Veneto explained while Hugo and Hermione were looking at the note. "So we must learn something to protect ourselves."

"Unfortunately, we are not those pure-blood wizards who have many family magic spells to learn. So if we want to learn some protective magic, we must find a way to get books out of the Restricted Section."

"But with our current age and magic level, learning those pure combat magic is not very safe. So after consulting several senior students, I chose this book as the goal of our study during this period."

"No wonder you were able to endure the discomfort in your heart and write that kind of hymn." After listening to Veneto's explanation, Hermione immediately understood. "Fortunately, we have you this time, otherwise we would never have been able to get this valuable book this time."

In order to avoid complications, several people immediately decided to go to the library to borrow books now. As for how to learn, it was even simpler. They believed that Enterprise should be willing to lend a helping hand at this time to help them master the knowledge in the book.

After entering the library, Hugo and the others subconsciously lowered their voices. After all, Madam Pince, the librarian, hated people who spoke loudly in the library the most.

"'Transfiguration and Combat'?" Looking at the note, Madam Pince read it with suspicion, then took the note from Veneto's hand.

"Do you know that, theoretically, only students in the fifth grade or above can borrow this book? It's a little too early for you second-year students to borrow this book."

Madam Pince did not immediately fetch the book while holding the note, but looked at Hugo and the others and asked.

"It is indeed a little early, but we will study the contents of the book under the guidance of the professor." Hermione suddenly said wittily at this time. "So please rest assured, we will definitely not encounter any danger because of this book."

Maybe it was because Hugo and the others usually performed well, or maybe Ravenclaw students themselves were famous for pursuing all kinds of knowledge.

So after listening to Hermione's explanation, Madam Pince raised the note to the light as usual to make sure that the note was not forged.

After the note passed the inspection smoothly. Madam Pince strode through the tall bookshelves, and returned a few minutes later, holding a large book with various colors flashing on it like peacock tail feathers.

Veneto stepped forward to take the heavy book, bowed to thank her, and then quickly left the library with Hugo and the others.

Five minutes later, they appeared in the Room of Requirement. At this time, the Room of Requirement had been changed into a very nice reading room according to their requirements.

The entire room was covered with a carpet like a soft lawn. In addition to the usual chairs and tables, there were also several soft cushions on the open space.

And in the place against the wall, there was also a row of seemingly old bookshelves, and the bookshelves were also filled with various books.

"'I Have a Date with Merlin', 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'—" Looking at the pile of books in front of her, Hermione immediately walked to the bookshelf and looked through them.

Unfortunately, these books were all literary books, and there was not much content related to magic.

"Okay, let's take a look at this book first." After everyone roughly understood the current situation of the Room of Requirement, Veneto stepped forward and opened the book on the desk.

In an instant, a hand made of paper holding a wand also made of paper suddenly rushed out from the opened page, and then began to make movements, and a voice also came out from the book.

"Real. 3D stereoscopic book." After seeing this scene, Hugo complained.
