Librarian at Hogwarts

Igno has never been in such an awkward position as he is today.

He may have faced embarrassment when looking for a job before, but at least he could just pat his butt and leave.

But now, Igno obviously does not have such a chance.

He looked at Alice who was busy in the kitchen and didn't know whether to sit down or go to the kitchen to help.

"My dear, what's going on with you today? Go and sit down. You don't have to stand behind and wait for me to cook. I'll call you after I'm done."

Alice said to Ignat with a smile. This woman was very surprised by her husband's unexpected performance today. Just the words "sweetheart" and "baby" made her extremely excited.

Igno breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that he didn't have to go into the kitchen to help.He looked around the room and decided to stay upstairs for a while.

"Um...if dinner is ready, remember to call me, um...baby."

"Also, I'll stay upstairs for a while..."

Alice responded cheerfully, "Go, go, my dear. Just stay in the study for a while. I want to show you my skills today."

Ignat walked up the steps.

There are three rooms on the second floor, two bedrooms and a study room.

I think one of them must be Chapman's son's room.

Ignat opened the small bedroom and found no one inside, which made Ignat breathe a sigh of relief again.

He thought about it and figured that Chapman's son should be of school age, so he should be in school now, maybe still in Hogwarts...

Ignat closed the bedroom door and then pushed open the study door.

The study room is beautifully decorated.

Entering the door is a large rectangular mahogany table. The floor is covered with a blanket embroidered with Saint Laurent patterns. On the left and right sides of the wooden table, there are hollow bookshelves with many books stacked on them.

Behind the mahogany table, there is a fireplace with sparks of fire.

Igno sat at the mahogany table, and a locked drawer box caught his attention.

This drawer is locked with a magic lock, and the magic lock is shaped like the head of a horned monster, with its extended fangs biting the lock's mouth.

Ignat knew about this kind of magic lock. He had seen this kind of magic lock in Borgin-Bock's shop.

At that time, Mr. Bojin and Mr. Bok announced that the protective ability of this magic lock was five-star, and no one could open it except themselves.

Ignat guessed that there must be something important in this drawer.

He tried to touch the monster's head with his hand. He didn't know if it would work, but reality told him that it would not have any effect.

Even under his touch, the monster's teeth began to extend, as if ready to bite anyone who wanted to open the drawer.

Igno quickly pulled his hand back. He didn't dare to try again. Who knows what will happen next.

This is enough to show that the claims of Mr. Borkin and Mr. Bock do have a certain degree of credibility.

Igno gave up the idea of ​​opening the drawer. He rummaged around on the desk for a while, and finally found a black notebook.

There was a golden pen inside this notebook, and it was obvious that Chapman had not had time to put it away before he left the house in a hurry.

Igno looked through the notebook, and it turned out to be Chapman's diary.

"September 9th, sunny. Today is bad, quite bad. I haven't made any progress on the matter that Lord Septimus told me so far... This is too difficult, but luckily that boy James did the same thing. It’s a mess.”

"October 10th, yin. Alice found a piece of magic equipment for me. I heard it was carefully crafted by an outstanding alchemist in St. Petersburg. This woman also became useful at this time."

"October 10th, sunny..."

Today happens to be October 10th. It seems that Chapman received the forged letter made by Ignat and others when he was planning to write a diary.

"I just don't know what Septimus and the others want to do... They seem to have penetrated the Ministry of Magic very deeply..."

Igno said secretly in his heart, and then he put the notebook intact back to its original position.

At this time, he felt that it was necessary to open the cabinet that was locked with magic.

Ignat guessed: "What they are talking about is probably related to the secret room in the school."

If it is really related to the secret room, and Septimus and the others will sneak into the school tomorrow, the contents of this drawer will be crucial.

Maybe Chapman is also the person who will infiltrate the school tomorrow...

Ignat felt that he should reveal this information first so that the school could be well prepared.

He grabbed a handful of Floo powder and sprinkled it on the fireplace, then tried to contact Dumbledore or Bathida.

Coincidentally, Dumbledore was with Basilda at this moment, and they were discussing the school's emergency measures for tomorrow.

When Dumbledore saw an unfamiliar face, he was obviously stunned. After he knew it was Ignat, he blinked a few more times, but didn't say anything.

"Albus, Bathida."

"I have an important discovery here. In Chapman's cabinet, he may have information about the secret room, or Septimus's plan for tomorrow's operation... But I can't open the cabinet. , I think this thing needs to be opened by myself...I mean, the real person."

Ignat said quickly to the fireplace.

Dumbledore and Bathida looked at each other, and the three of them quickly analyzed the current situation.

The best solution is for Bathida to return home with the real Chapman and then open the cabinet.In order not to arouse the suspicion of Chapman's wife Alice, Igno only needs to hold Alice back during this period.

The three of them discussed the plan and started taking action.

Ignat returned downstairs first, and Alice was still busy in the kitchen.At this moment, there was a sound from the window outside the house, and it was Bathida who came!

This action is really fast.

Ignat took a deep breath. He had to lure Alice from the kitchen to the outdoors first.If she were in the house, Bascida would be at risk of being discovered at any time, especially for a wizard, larger movements would definitely be noticed.

"Baby...I think you must be exhausted."

Ignat stood at the door of the kitchen and said to Alice.

Alice turned her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her smile was sweet, "It'll be just a moment, I'll be fine soon, my dear."

"Actually, I have a gift I want to give you...yes, a gift." Ignat wanted to make his voice deeper, so that it would appear more charming and interesting.

"A gift? What gift? You actually gave me a gift... Oh, no, I'm so excited..."

Alice stopped what she was doing and turned around to look at Ignat, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Of course...for this gift, before...I have to take you to a place first...well, this way there will be a surprise, right?"

Ignat stepped forward and held Alice's hand. Alice had no doubts at all, but she looked at the dishes being cooked in the kitchen.

"These dishes..." Igno was about to say that he could put these aside for now.

Alice smiled and interrupted, "It's okay, dear. A little magic will make them stir by themselves...I promise it won't affect their taste at all."

After saying that, the pots and bowls started to stir automatically.

At this time, Ignat and Alice pushed open the door behind the kitchen and left the house.
