An autographed permission slip

"You... read them all?"

Comparisons really could drive a person mad. In several hours, Luo Bin had only finished a fifth of the book in his hands, while she had read eighteen books. Wasn't that terrifying?

"Yes, I used the 'Search Method' to read them. If I didn't find the keywords, I filtered the page out automatically. One glance at a page told me whether it had what I wanted!"

After finding nothing all evening, Hermione was sighing when she suddenly saw a Ravenclaw girl hand Madam Pince a slip of paper. Immediately afterward, Madam Pince entered the Restricted Section and returned with a thick, old book in her arms!

"Maybe the book I need is in the Restricted Section!"

"Hermione, are you looking for the book Professor Snape mentioned in Potions Class a few days ago, the one containing the Polyjuice Potion that turns someone into another person?"

Hermione's eyes instantly lit up. "Yes, that's it! Ron and Neville were making such a fuss that I couldn't hear what the professor was saying!"

"You should have said so earlier. That book is called Moste Potente Potions. It isn't in the public browsing and lending section. It's probably in... Madam Pince, is Moste Potente Potions in the Restricted Section?"

Madam Pince knew every book in the Library inside out. Without hesitation, she said, "Of course. Don't even think about taking it out of the Restricted Section without a permission slip personally signed by a professor. Oh, and a word of warning: at the end of August, Headmaster Dumbledore and several professors placed five layers of Protective Barriers over the Restricted Section. Don't try breaking in at midnight!"

"Who would break in? Someone who thinks they have too many house points?"

Hermione spoke quietly after Madam Pince had left.

Well, Luo
