Librarian at Hogwarts

Hogwarts.

Under the blue sky, the ancient dark castle stands.

In front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, a black raven stood quietly.

Its dark eyes reflected the dim flames burning in the fireplace inside the house.

......

"Principal Armando Dippet, it's such an honor to meet you."

It was the first time that Ignat met the famous headmaster of Hogwarts, and he was inevitably a little nervous.

"I heard that Hogwarts is short of a librarian. I think this job is very suitable for me..."

Igno's voice was intermittent, but it didn't feel like it was dragging. It was as if there was a magic in his words that made people listen attentively.

"Igno Peverell?"

Armando Dippet gently pushed the golden glasses on the bridge of his nose. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find that the lenses were actually carved with exquisite patterns.

"I heard that you taught at Durmstrang Magic School for a long time, and then I heard that you disappeared and disappeared... I didn't expect to see you today."

"That's all in the past, Principal Dippet. Now I'm just an unknown person." There was a wry smile on Igno's face.

His hands kept rubbing back and forth under the table.

This is what Igno does when he's nervous.

Of course, he didn't know what he was nervous about.

Igno tried to calm down several times, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Perhaps applying for a job is inherently stressful.

"Igno, I have to say that I have indeed heard a lot of rumors. Of course, I don't want to delve into whether these rumors are true or false. After all, who doesn't have some rumors?"

After hearing Dippet's words, Ignat's heart sank.

This familiar beginning must be followed by the fixed sentences of regret and apology.

Ignat wanted to turn around and leave immediately. After all, he had heard too many words of rejection.

"I understand, Principal Dippet, I will..."

Dippet smiled and said when Igno was about to stand up and leave.

"However, if you can accept the school's meager salary of six gold galleons per month, and the fact that you have to deal with the trivial matters in the library every day, I think you can stay...if you want... .”

Igno was overjoyed and immediately put his hands on the table.

"Principal Dippet, this...this is really the best thing!"

"I guess you don't know me yet."

"I am the most trouble-free person. After finishing the trivial matters and then going to the Leaky Cauldron to drink a glass of firewhiskey, that's when I feel most comfortable."

"If it weren't for those things... Oh, in short, I like this job from the bottom of my heart. Being a librarian sounds so interesting."

Ignat swallowed back the words that originally came to his lips and only emphasized the four words 'how interesting' repeatedly.

He seemed to be showing that he really liked the leisure and trivial job of a librarian from the bottom of his heart.

Dippet smiled and glanced at the portrait behind him without any trace.

On it are portraits of past principals.It's just that it's dark inside now, and it seems like everyone has gone to bed on this hot day.

In the end, Dippet did not hesitate. He picked up the quill on the table and signed his name on Ignat's self-recommendation letter. Then he took out the Hogwarts seal and stamped it heavily.

The gilt seal looks particularly beautiful in the sunlight.

"Igno, your eyes are very special, they are blue, just like the sea."

"Many people say this. Of course, this is not a self-praise from me... In fact, I think my nose and eyebrows are better looking... God, listen to what I am saying... I may be too happy. , it’s really a pleasure to be able to work at Hogwarts!”

Igno stood up quickly and took the application form from Dippet's hand.

There was a hint of excitement on his originally handsome and cold face.

Dippet smiled and said: "I believe you will be happy working in the library. By the way, although your salary is meager, all school employees can live in the school, and I think your life will not be better in this way." It's embarrassing, as long as you don't go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink every day..."

"Of course it won't happen, Principal Dippet!"

Igno grinned, and his white teeth appeared immediately.

"I think there's enough stuff in the library to keep me busy for a long time..."

"But it's worth considering going to the bar for a drink..."

"Of course, the library's affairs come first. I guarantee that under my management, there will be no damage to the books in the library."

Igno solemnly put the application form into his large black wizard robe and walked happily down the spiral staircase behind the giant stone beast.

The moment his front foot just left.

In the originally silent room, suddenly many voices appeared as if they had been agreed upon.

"Dippet! This is a wrong decision! You have to admit it!"

"Everyone knows that he comes from Durmstrang College, where there is a lot of evil magic..."

"I think it's hard for Hogwarts to remain peaceful..."

But these quarrels have nothing to do with Igno.

In fact, Igno didn't care at all about the quarrel.

Right now, he only has one thing on his mind.

That is to find a comfortable room as your dormitory quickly.

This is an important matter.

In this way, he can sleep comfortably tonight. If time permits, Igno even thinks that he can take a steaming bubble bath and drink a glass of cabbage wine.

There is really nothing more important than this!

......

The library at Hogwarts is overcrowded every day.

Some students wish they could spend the whole day in the library except during class time.

Some people even brought their own sleeping supplies, which was really hard for Igno to understand.

Is it necessary to work so hard to learn magic?

Of course, Igno was not in the mood to pay much attention to these students.After all, he does have a lot of chores every day.

From Igno's point of view, in this magic academy where magic is everywhere, he has to act like a Muggle.

Magic books must be sorted manually, and no spells can be used on the magic books.

Because if the spell is recited slightly wrong, the magic book may reveal itself.

Of course, this problem is not difficult for Igno.

Although you cannot recite spells on the magic book, it does not prevent the help of magical animals.

sniff.

Its magical scientific name is Nifulei.

Ignat has two.

One male and one female.

This adorable black furry creature.

Mild personality.

But if something shiny appears within a radius of 500 meters, it might become more naughty and active.

Ignat always hid his jeweled treasures well, otherwise when he got up the next day, he might wonder if his home had been robbed.

Xiu Xiu moves very fast. Although he is not big, he is quite powerful.

It would be best to leave the slightly thin magic book to them to restore.

But after the task is completed, you must hand over a gold galleung and let them play as they please.

Otherwise, the possibility of a strike is very high.

With the help of Xiu Xiu, Igno only needs to restore a few heavier magic books every day, and then carefully check whether there are any abnormalities in the forbidden book area, which is enough to complete his daily work.

Is this all Igno’s job is?

In fact, of course not.

After all, the school's monthly salary of six gold galleons is not so easy to come by.

Igno has to patiently answer questions from every student who comes to the library every day.

Like, where is Magical Zoology? How long can I borrow "Basic Charms"?

In the beginning, Igno was very patient.But as time went by, he found ways to be lazy.

Because he found that the questions asked by the students every day were similar.

No one is interested in whether toast tastes better with chutney or strawberry jam.

No fun.Ignat commented in his mind.

So he cast a simple spell on the crystal ball.Now, the crystal ball can answer all the questions that Igno has answered before.

Anyway, they couldn't come up with any new tricks.

Now, Igno's job became much easier.

When you are comfortable, life always flies by.

Ignat was sitting at his work as usual.

A student wearing a Hufflepuff uniform suddenly appeared in front of him.

This student has a lot of freckles on his face and his body looks a little thin.

He wore an khaki tie on his collar.It is Hufflepuff's signature dress.

"Newt Scamander."

He stood for a long time before this puzzling sentence came out of his mouth.
