Librarian at Hogwarts

"Mrs. Alice, you are not disturbing me."

"On the contrary, I would rather listen to your story... After all, you seem to have experienced a very sad thing... I think you may need an observer, if you need it..."

When Alice was about to rush out of the door, Igno stopped her with words.

This is not an overabundance of Igno's love.

It's because Ignat looked through Fabiens's notes, and he had roughly guessed that Fabiens and Alice's marriage was just a matter of Fabiens wanting to take advantage of this woman.

Fabiens' love for Alice was only for the sake of her money.

This poor woman.Ignat sighed inwardly.

"Oh...I really...yes, I really need someone...to talk to...I basically don't have any friends..."

Alice said, wiping the tears from her face.

"I'm very grateful that you are willing to listen to a woman of my age... In fact, I don't think a young man like you would be interested in those trivial family matters."

Alice squeezed her two palms vigorously, and looked at Igno with a smile, as if to express her gratitude to Igno.

"It's okay, Mrs. Alice. Although you didn't say it specifically, I can roughly guess what it is."

"I think you definitely deserve better."

"Your life is definitely not about being in the kitchen, dealing with pots and pans all day long. Nor is it about devoting all your energy to someone and making yourself mediocre..."

"In fact, you have better choices and a better future!"

Ignat said these words sincerely. He hoped that his words could make the woman in front of him feel better.

Alice on the side was greatly moved when she heard Ignat's words.

For some reason, Alice knew that this was the first time she saw this handsome man in front of her, but she always felt that the man in front of her had a kind feeling in her heart.

This feeling of intimacy is very rare.

Alice had an inexplicable affection for Ignatius.

At this moment, her heart was not as sad as before.Even with Igno's encouragement, I felt a lot more relaxed.

"Thank you for your comfort... Oh, by the way, I don't even know your name yet. Look at me, it's so rude. You talked for such a long time and I didn't have time to ask your name first." Love. Liz said.

Ignat was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said without hesitation: "Neil. Neil Prewett."

Alice nodded and said with a smile: "I am Alice, Alice Les. But I won't be called by this name soon... Of course, you can just call me Alice."

Alice looked at Ignat carefully.

She was sure that this was the first time she saw the wizard in front of her, but for some reason, she always felt that she and him should have known each other before.

This feeling is so subtle that some experts once called it the witch's 'sixth sense'.

"Mr. Neil... I would like to ask, have we met somewhere? Because you always give me a very familiar feeling..."

Alice finally couldn't help but ask.

Ignat panicked. He was afraid that Alice would see some clues.

You know, some wizards are natural masters of 'Legilimency' and can read your inner thoughts without your awareness.

Ignat quickly closed his heart. Otherwise, if Alice was really proficient in 'Legilimency' and could read her own heart, it would be really hard for her to explain for a while.

"I don't think so, Mrs. Alice. This is indeed the first time we have met. Of course, in Diagon Alley, this place sometimes passes by on the road. This is also possible." Ignat said vaguely. .

Obviously, Alice is a simple woman after all.

She listened to Igno's words and nodded without thinking too much. She seemed to agree with what Igno said.

"By the way, Mrs. Alice. You must have something to do here. You can continue to do what you want to do, but don't forget it..."

Seeing that Alice's mood had stabilized, Ignat knew that he had done his best to calm the woman in front of him.Then he quickly changed the topic further, for fear that the woman would mention something else.

"Oh, yes, yes."

Alice smiled.

"Look, I almost forgot."

As she spoke, she said awkwardly to the Fire Dragon wizard who was standing far away at some point, "Um... Actually, I want to return this Fire Dragon suit. I have never worn it. Yes...but I don't seem to know if this is in line with the rules of your store...it's really hard for you..."

The 'Fire Dragon' wizard also looked troubled after hearing this.

"Ms. Alice, follow the rules in the store... unless there is something wrong with the quality of the clothes..."

"There is no problem with the quality of the clothes." Alice said quickly.

"Yes, and it must be returned or exchanged within three days... It seems that you purchased it more than three days ago."

The 'Fire Dragon' wizard said apologetically, obviously he was also helpless.

Alice nodded slightly disappointed, but she could indeed understand this rule.

After all, if everyone can return or exchange products without reason after exceeding the stipulated time, it will definitely be a considerable blow to the store's operation.

"In fact, Mrs. Alice, you can 'discount' this dress at a cheaper price."

The 'Fire Dragon' wizard reminded carefully from the side.

"The materials and tailoring of this dress are of very high quality. I believe that if it were a little cheaper, many people would still be willing to buy it."

After hearing this, Alice had no intention of 'buying at a discount'.

Thinking about it, Alice probably didn't really want to use this dress in exchange for some money, but she wanted to put an end to her past.

"Mr. Neil."

Alice hesitated for a while, then called out to Igno.

"Is Mr. Neil interested in this 'Fire Dragon Suit'?"

"I think your figure will definitely look better if you wear this piece of clothing."

Ignat was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Alice to say such things to him.

"Um... But, I may not be able to afford the money... In fact, even if it is a 'discount', it is too expensive for me."

Ignat thought that Alice wanted to 'buy it at a discount' for him, but even if it was too cheap, it would still cost at least a hundred gold galleons.

Although Ignat really liked this 'Fire Dragon' suit, in the face of absolute money, he could only compromise.

"Mr. Neil, how much money do you have in your pocket?" Alice asked gently.

"Five gold galleons..." After Igno said this, he seemed to feel a trace of embarrassment flash across the face of the 'Fire Dragon' wizard beside him.

"make a deal!"

Alice said happily, and then placed the clothes bag in front of Igno.

"Five gold galleons." She spread one hand towards Igno.

Only then did Ignat slowly come to his senses. He slowly took out the five coins that had been warmed by him from his pocket, and then handed them to Alice.

"Thank you for your shopping!"

Alice said cheerfully. After she took the gold coin, the smile on her face became bigger.

She felt very different from when she first entered the store. It seemed that a transformation was slowly happening in her body.

Alice's steps were brisk. She opened the door in one fell swoop and breathed in the air outside.

"Happy Birthday!"

She said this to Igno.

Then he turned around and disappeared down the long street.
