HP's Foreign Land

After the last class that afternoon, Heimdall went to the school library to return the books. The teacher in charge of the library told him that the old textbooks he had been waiting in line had entered a new round of borrowing time. Heimdall was overjoyed when he heard this. Joyfully followed the teacher to pick up the books, feeling that it was not easy. He started to line up in the last semester and waited until the new school year to get them.

After Heimdall signed it and the title of the book was automatically generated on the library card, Heimdall was dumbfounded, History of Magic?Is it History of Magic?

Durmstrang’s school library is mainly divided into two areas according to the business division. One is the borrowing area for ordinary books, such as exercise books, tutorial books, etc., and leisure books and periodicals also belong to this part, such as Magazines, newspapers, novels, etc.; the second is the rare book borrowing area, which houses all kinds of out-of-print books and periodicals collected since the establishment of the school, or rare books with an extremely limited number of prints. Acquired around the world, another part is sponsored by alumni.

Every book in the rare books borrowing area is specially archived in encrypted archives, because once these books are lost or damaged, they cannot be copied or reproduced, and they cannot be bought back no matter how much money is spent.Some people may say that it’s no big deal, wouldn’t it be enough to copy a thousand copies by magic? This kind of idea is certainly feasible, but the out-of-print “absolute” loses its meaning.This is equivalent to an antique. A porcelain vase from the Song Dynasty was copied by a craftsman from the Qing Dynasty. From the perspective of modern people, these two vases are both antiques, but the comprehensive value they reflect is worlds apart. Gold Gallon is also very different.

The out-of-print History of Magic textbook in Heimdall's hand is a genuine antique. The problem is that what he wants is not this antique, but the antique's brother, the antique called "Attack and Self-Defense from the Dark Arts".

Heimdall carefully walked out of the library with the book in his arms, feeling a little depressed because of the huge emotional gap between before and after.In fact, there is no solution at all. Unfortunate things often happen in the rare book borrowing area. Every book in this borrowing area is a treasure. The ranking of treasures is not divided. It is good to lend it to you. I would like to choose three Pick four?Think beautifully!

This is how the rare book borrowing area works. Students honestly wait in line for a book for several months, or even nearly a year. There is a high probability that they will not be able to borrow the book they want, and some students may retreat and ask for it. Secondly, most of the students are unwilling to settle down. At this time, collective wisdom begins to shine.

What?Didn't borrow it?Which one do you want to borrow?Ouch, what a coincidence, I borrowed it, so give me your copy, let's exchange it!

The functionality of the giant kanban at the entrance of the cafeteria has been further sublimated. Students who come and go often see the book exchange note posted on the kanban.Heimdall planned to go to the board to post a note, and this matter had to be done early, what if other competitors took the lead?

It is said that this method of exchanging books has existed for a long time, and it is hard to say how far it can be traced back. Anyway, Heimdall has already had this business since he entered school.In fact, although this method is good, it is a bit stupid, and it is a waste of time. The smartest way is to ask the school library teacher directly for the list of borrowed books.The problem is that no one dares to do it.

Another one is said that some students did this many years ago (the exact number of years is untestable), and the result was not good. The teacher who was the librarian at that time directly deprived the student of the eligibility to borrow books. The worst thing was that even the ordinary Books are not allowed to be borrowed. The teacher’s reason: Out of print can’t meet your needs, so just read the textbooks.

Thanks to the first person to eat crabs, so that the latecomers have mastered the method of not having diarrhea.

Heimdall ran to the huge signboard, stopped in the area specially set up for book exchange, and carefully searched for any notes that matched his wishes. If there were no notes, he took out a stack of note paper from the pencil case and wrote himself The book currently in hand, and then write the name of the book you want to read, and finally write down the deadline and name of the exchange, tear off this page and raise your hand to paste it on the board, and you're done.

The borrowing time of precious books is one month. When the time limit expires, you have to return it regardless of whether you have read it or not. I don't have time to look at it.

Heimdall's calculation starts from today, giving both parties at least half a month's time for reading. This date is generally recognized by everyone. Although the middle value is moderate, it will never go wrong.

After finishing all this, Heimdall looked at his pocket watch and walked to the laboratory. Heimdall has been studying the information of the applicants for the past few days. To his surprise, there are not only freshmen, but also a large number of high Grade students also got involved.Heimdall believes that his recruiting plan is serious and serious, with high standards and strict requirements, not just for fun, and he doesn't have time to frequently kick people. If the recruits are not satisfactory, they will be replaced. , Thinking of this gave him a headache, instead of frequently changing people and tossing around, it's better to be in place in one step. When recruiting people, the conditions are more demanding and the threshold is higher.

"Toffee, I will trouble you in the future." Heimdall assigned a task to Comrade Toffee and made an important speech. "No matter how wild it is, I have no objection if you want a lion's roar. The premise is that there must be applicants in this room. By the way, or else follow the standards of your kind. I think the feasibility is very high."

Toffee is acting like a dream, probably trying to recall the mental outlook of the same kind.

[Do you want to recruit people or scare people? 】The pod cat scoffed at Heimdall's method. [Who else would come after being frightened by toffee?Do you know how the outside world evaluates Chimera? 】Of course I know, a beast comparable to a dragon.Heimdall glanced at the toffee who was trying to imitate his brain and pretended to be fierce according to his brain: "I don't ask much, it can only show a third of the ferocity it used to deal with me."

Doudou looked at the miniature version of the toffee daddy skeleton placed on the shelf: 【Smash that skeleton on the ground in front of it, not to mention one-third, ten-thirds can be shown. ] "Bad idea!" Heimdall said angrily. "Is that still scary? It's murder. I'm going to sue."

Heimdall packed up and went to the cafeteria after staying in the laboratory until dinner time.Heimdall made a list of the applicants as of today, and counted a total of 17, because there is no comparison object, and he does not know whether this number is more or less.Should be a lot, right?Heimdall thought very much about Ah Q.

Before leaving the research room, he gave the list to Hina, and asked her to inquire about the specific situation of these people. The house elves have their own communication channels. Although the credibility has yet to be verified, the general situation should not be Far from it.Hina accepted the list with great excitement, and promised Heimdall that the task would be completed as soon as possible.

Rian and Leon waited at the door of the broomstick research room and the potion research room respectively, and the three walked towards the cafeteria together.Carlo's research laboratory has never been found. Last semester, he finally decided to join the magical beast research laboratory. Within three days, he ran out by himself, and told them emotionally and lonely that he could not find a place in these research laboratories. feel.

Heimdall believes that the sense of belonging that Carlo mentioned is gossip, and those research laboratories have their own research directions, and there is no basis for gossip.Advocates of high-level hobbies who have completely broken away from low-level interests like Carlo should be self-reliant, gossip if they can, and gossip if they don’t have the conditions to create conditions.

These words were completely out of Heimdall's unintentional words. I didn't expect Carlo to take them seriously. He has been thinking about how to carry forward his advanced hobbies these days.Running the school magazine is one way. Durmstrang is blank in the school magazine. If Carlo really thinks about it, he will set a precedent and make history.

The three talked, laughed and walked to the entrance of the cafeteria. Carlo had already sat down in the cafeteria and started eating. He would never lag behind others when it came to eating.

Heimdalt went to the board to check the book exchange note he had posted two hours ago. He had no hope. It would be a coincidence if it came true. The book exchange depends on luck. It has already been swapped out, and it is even more likely that the borrower wants to read it himself.This is so common that there is little to do but shrug and say bad luck.

The fact is that the goddess of luck will favor you, which is really unstoppable luck.

I have got.

This short response was written on a sticky note, just below Heimdall's signature.Heimdall blinked a few times, convinced that the word was still there, and stared at it for a while, Heimdall's eye sockets were moist, brother, it's not like you're just getting money, why are you so generous, at least leave a name for us to develop further!

Nothing but "I have".

Heimdall took out a quill and wrote a few big characters: Please provide contact information as soon as possible After writing, he went into the cafeteria to replenish his energy without looking back.

***

At 05:30 the next morning, before dawn, Heimdall left the South Tower tremblingly in a thick scarf.This has become one of his routines since the beginning of school, and it is almost unshakeable.Heimdall gets up at 05 o'clock every day, leaves the South Tower at 30:[-], and makes a half circle around the castle to the North Tower, which happens to be around [-]:[-].

The yelling of the school Quidditch team's morning practice became more and more clear with the depth of the footsteps, and then Heimdall would find a position where he could clearly see the school team's practice, or squatted or stood to peek.

This is the exercise method that Heimdall found for himself. In order to avoid becoming an otaku who lacks exercise one day, proper early waking and walking are the methods of exercise.And I can see my boyfriend early every morning, which really kills two birds with one stone.Victor didn't know that Heimdall would come here to spy on him every day. According to a certain boyfriend, this still needs to be peeped?It doesn't matter if you look upright and fancy all day!Clothes or no clothes, the choice is yours!

Hidden behind a tree, Heimdall was doing the eighth or ninth or tenth set of radio gymnastics, while watching the brooms flying in the sky.After witnessing his boyfriend's superb flying skills for the Nth time, he applauded without hesitation, and then took out his pocket watch to check the time. At 22:[-], he put the pocket watch back in, and looked towards the temporary Quidditch The court waved his hand: "Well, I did a good job today! Keep it up! Let's go! Practice slowly!" He turned and left the peeping point.

Heimdall left earlier than usual today, because there are other tasks today, yes, it is to exchange books with people.Before leaving the castle last night, he deliberately went to look at the board to take a look. The big brother who had collected money already had a message, and asked him to meet at the gate of the North Tower at 06:30 this morning in extremely concise words.

Heimdall thought this classmate, who had always kept his name anonymous, was really interesting. He was just exchanging books, and he wasn't an underground worker's joint. Was it necessary to hide it like this?

Heimdall arrived at the entrance of the North Tower at 25:[-]. The current North Tower is actually the original North Tower, but with an extra layer of paint to straighten the waist. The surface is bright, the lining is still rotten, and the interior is still dilapidated like a a haunted house.

Heimdall waited until 06:30 and still saw no one coming. He was wondering if he had been fooled. The sound of crunching snow stepped into his ears. He turned around and met a pair of looking blue eyes. Then, Heimdall saw the complicated look in his eyes.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the other's expression was very unnatural, as if they were stubborn with Heimdall and were unwilling to break the deadlock first.

"You are the one who wants to exchange books with me?" Heimdall asked.

The man nodded.

"Then change it." Heimdall took out the book.

The man was taken aback, probably not expecting Heimdall to be so decisive, so he also took out the book.

The two exchanged good books silently.

"When do we get the books back?" Heimdall asked.

The man remained silent, staring straight at the book cover, his face turning a little blue.

"What's wrong?" Heimdall couldn't help asking. "Any questions?"

"This is in Russian..." the man finally spoke.

"I know."

"I can't understand Russian..." The tone was very awkward.

Heimdall didn't expect to hear such an answer, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Forget it, let's go through the dictionary." The man put the book away with a displeased expression. "When you need to exchange the book, you can post a note and make an appointment at that time."

Dare to love this person guarding the signboard every day? !Heimdall was not reluctant and agreed to his proposal.

The man had no manners at all, mumbling something Heimdall couldn't understand, turned around and left, just as defiant as when he came.

Heimdall suddenly thought of something, and shouted at his back: "My name is Heimdall Strulusson, what's your name?"

The figure in the distance tilted and struggled for a long time before standing up again, turned around suddenly, and ran back angrily.

"What did you say? You don't know who I am?" The man's eyes were burning.

"I know who you are," Heimdall said.

The man's face turned pale.

"I just can't remember the name."

Xiao Ji's complexion turned dark again.

"Bonasera! I'm Ada Bonasera!" The man growled hoarsely, pointing at Heimdall's nose. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"No." Heimdall said seriously. "I really can't remember."

Seeing the righteousness on his face, Bonasera felt even more tight in his chest.
