Librarian at Hogwarts

I don’t know when this drinking party ended.

In short, the four of them were quite drunk, their faces were glowing red, and their voices were a little erratic.

Ignat and Neil returned to the house arm in arm.

Being blown by the cold wind, the two people's drunkenness faded a lot.

"What Bathida said today was really scary, wasn't it?" Neil giggled and said suddenly.

"Well, yes, it's quite scary." Ignat replied casually.

"Then what are you going to do? Igno."

Neil suddenly became serious. He straightened his back, and his eyes that were originally drunk became much clearer.

Igno was silent for a long time.

The two of them just stood outside the door.

Outside the door, in addition to the cold wind blowing from time to time, there were also dense clouds in the sky.

In autumn and winter, it is difficult to see bright stars.

"I know that's a hard question to answer."

Neil looked at Igno. He knew that it would be difficult for Igno to answer his question.

"But there's only one thing I want to say."

"No matter how you choose..."

"I'm always on your side, Igno."

Neil's hands were supported on the railing, and he looked at the sky, as if he was declaring some kind of oath.

"Remember when we first met?"

"In that dingy little hut—that's where a lot of wandering wizards live. We call it the Wanderer's House."

"The first time I saw you, I knew that you must be a person with a lot of stories, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"I don't know why I felt that way, but that's how I felt inside."

"That's when a voice came into my head - I have to get to know you."

"Hahahaha, yes, I think you will definitely experience a lot of things, endless adventures, battles, tension and excitement..."

"I can sense a strange emotion in you - that loneliness and rejection."

"Sometimes, I feel that we are the same kind of people. Yes, hahahaha, maybe you always think that I seem to be reckless and simple-minded..."

"But the desolation and sadness after the excitement dissipates...I know it very well."

When Neil said this, there were tears in his eyes.

He also seemed to have gone through a long psychological struggle.

Yes, for Neil, if adventure and wandering are his destiny, then the stability of Hogwarts is like a sweet dream that he never wants to wake up from.

It's like a giant donut here.

He had a feeling he had never experienced before.

Even though he was doing hard work in school that often required him to brave the wind, rain and scorching sun, it was still so interesting to him.

Perhaps everyone has once envied the lone eagle that can fly freely in the sky.

However, the lone eagle will also land one day.

They will also look forward to warmth and comfort.

Ignat looked at Neil next to him. This was the first time he heard Neil's emotional words - basically, the two of them had always had playful, nonsensical conversations.

He reached out and wanted to pat Neil on the shoulder.

However, the moment he stretched out his hand, the moment he was about to touch Neil's shoulders, his hands followed Neil's example and were also placed on the railing.

"It's best not to say these words to me."

Igno looked at Neil with his peripheral vision and saw the surprised expression on his face.

"If you remember Ferencile's prophecy - I don't want to be the idiot he says you slashed with your knife."

When Neil heard this, the expression on his face changed quickly.

From initial surprise to disappointment to laughter.

"You're such a bastard, Igno."

"Yeah, I hope we all are."

Igno raised his eyebrows.

In this way, the two people separated and went back to their own houses.

......

When Igno got up early in the morning, he received two letters.

One letter was from Bonham. He invited Igno to sit at his home. It seemed that he had some important matters to discuss.

The other letter was from Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

Old Tom's letter was simple - "If you have business, come quickly."

Ignat didn't think much, picked up a piece of clothing and went out.

After he went out, he happened to meet Neil who also happened to come out of the house.

"Want to have breakfast?"

Neil asked.

"No, I have to go out."

As Ignat spoke, he threw Sniff to Neil.

"same as usual."

Neil looked at Igno's back, rolled his eyes at him, and protested loudly behind Igno: "Just wait, sooner or later, I will go to Principal Dippet to report you. Just like With your work attitude, I think cleaning toilets in schools is the best place for you."

Ignat walked forward without looking back, and then replied: "Not bad, then you will have to work in the toilet."

...

Ignat came out of Hogwarts and immediately came to the Leaky Cauldron.

He pushed open the door of the bar, and the intoxicating smell of alcohol suddenly penetrated his nose.

"Tom, I'm coming!"

Ignat stood at the door and shouted loudly.

"God, I hear you."

"You made such a loud voice, I almost thought it was yesterday's exciting guest coming again."

Tom walked out of the bar. He was in a daze and could see that there was also a scene of lively entertainment here last night.

"Hey, why did you drink so much, and didn't you write me a letter this morning?"

Igno took a few steps back in disgust.

The smell of alcohol emanating from Tom was too pungent.

"Yes, it's three o'clock in the morning to be exact."

"I have every reason to believe that Hai Li flew into your house at seven o'clock - I think he must have drunk a lot yesterday, otherwise he would have fallen asleep in his bird cage. "

Igno looked at the cage where Haili was.

Yes, the huge owl was lying straight in its cage - it was hard to imagine how much effort it had to put in to deliver the letter.

It’s true that pets will be just like the kind of owners they are.Ignat couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"You said there was business and you asked me to come over quickly?"

Ignat asked.

Tom shook his head, then raised his finger and said affirmatively: "That's right! Igno!"

"That's all thanks to me."

"The guests who came here yesterday, if I hadn't asked them repeatedly, you would have no idea how big a business this is."

Tom's words were somewhat inconsistent.

But Igno still managed to understand his general meaning.

It probably means that he received a big order from a person he met yesterday, and this person urgently needs someone who is proficient in alchemy and potions to refine a batch of potions and magic items.

Moreover, he will provide all the consumables, so you don’t have to worry about materials, only the final result!
