The Bard at Hogwarts

Sophia's tavern is like a gem inlaid in the heart of the ancient merchant town, shining with the light of time.

The guest room is a hidden and comfortable corner of this gem, providing a peaceful haven for tired merchants.

The light in the room is soft and dim.

On the bed made of rough cloth and soft hay, Ino applied white fresh essence to himself while recalling what happened in the past few days.

It has been a week since the incident in the tower of Klin Town, and he has been in a coma for a whole week until this morning.

Thanks to the wizard's physique, even with severe burns, he has recovered as before with the help of magic potions.

And a lot of things happened during his coma.

The curse of Klin Town was lifted.

The Grimm brothers also found the missing girls in the coffin. Fortunately, there were no casualties, they were just in a coma.

The whole story seems to be over.

...

Ino stood up and changed into the linen robe hanging by the bed.

The original custom-made robe of the elegant dress had long been burned beyond recognition, but this also made him feel lucky that he threw away the magic wand at the last moment.

After changing into the medieval linen robe, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the small storage rack at the head of the bed, on which were placed the magic wand, dice, and a small wooden box.

These things were picked up by the Grimm brothers when he was unconscious, and the wooden box was a gift from William, which contained a small box of magic beans.

The three magic beans in his pocket had long been burned under the flames, and the matches left by old John were also burned.

As for this box of magic beans, he received it with peace of mind.

Not to mention the huge price he paid before, just as the protagonist of the story, he would be safe even if he emptied the tower.

This is the treatment of the protagonist.

Just like Aladdin got the wishing lamp and Alibaba got the robber's treasure, no matter what the protagonist got in the story, it was reasonable.

Thinking in his mind, Ino looked up and looked out the window. The merchant town seemed a little desolate at dusk.

The merchants parked their carriages early, packed up their goods, and then went into the tavern in groups of three or five, chatting or exchanging market information.

The only ones left in the square were some accompanying guys guarding the carriages.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, he picked up the wand beside him.

"The flames are blazing!"

A copper oil lamp on the table was lit, and the swaying flames emitted a faint light, adding a bit of warmth to the room.

But all this is not the point.

Ino lowered his head and stared at his wand.

After a while.

"The flames are blazing!"

The top of the wand was no longer as dazzling as the blazing flames before.

Instead, it was deep and restrained. This was the flame of hope and salvation, the same as when Old John's match burned.

...

In the room, the light alternated between light and dark.

Time seemed to have returned to last summer, when the bridge tunnel by the Thames also alternated between light and darkness.

The Fire Charm, or the Blazing Fire Charm, was the first magic he learned after getting the wand, and he even played it for more than an hour.

But later, after entering Hogwarts, entering the new Narnia, and learning more magic, the Fire Charm was only used occasionally to light the fireplace.

Today, this magic became magical again. It is no longer an ordinary flame. It is salvation, hope, and the weakest but most tenacious persistence.

The flame at this moment is no longer ordinary, it is more like a secret fire.

"This... I think this is a realistic version of A Song of Ice and Fire..."

Ino murmured softly.

After a brief thought, he probably thought of the reason for the change in the flame.

There are probably two crucial conditions: using up all the matches at once and igniting yourself to redeem others.

Of course, above these two conditions, there is another hidden condition-becoming the protagonist.

Otherwise, just igniting yourself is already a gamble of life, not to mention redeeming others later. If it weren't the protagonist of the story, anyone who did this would be a complete self-sacrifice.

Fortunately, it all ended smoothly.

Looking at the changes in the fire spell, Ino couldn't help but think of the water prison magic released by Dumbledore in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic using the fountain, and the super gorgeous Vulcan opening the way in the later part of the story.

The former involves elemental transformation, and the latter is an advanced application of the fire spell.

...

Time passed silently.

The sky in the merchant town had fallen into darkness without knowing it.

In Sofia's tavern.

Ino blew out the oil lamp in the room, and then quietly opened the window.

"Bang!" There was a light sound.

The elegant black swan had appeared above the town.

As the protagonist of the story, he was now going to clean up the battlefield of the tower and collect the spoils by the way.

After all, the treatment of the protagonist is not unique, but it is almost rare in a hundred years.

Think about it, to meet the writer of the story in the story, and this person wrote him as the protagonist... Although it's a bit confusing, this is the fact.

Unless he meets another person named Andersen next time and successfully gains the other party's trust, otherwise this kind of protagonist treatment is really like a one-time thing.

…

In the deep and inky night sky, a black swan dances quietly.

The black swan feathers are like fragments of night, perfectly intertwined with the surrounding darkness, making it difficult to detect.

Whenever it flaps its wings gently, it seems to stir up the tranquility of the surrounding air, but then it calms down in an instant, leaving only an invisible track streaking across the night sky.

About an hour later.

In the sky, Ino looked at the familiar tower and felt like he was in another world.

The tower has not changed, the sarcophagus has not changed, and everything around it has not changed.

Of course, if you throw away the visual sense, you will find that everything here has changed.

The ominous atmosphere like a cemetery disappeared in the air, and new life began to breed in the forest and soil. Perhaps, during the Harvest Festival next September, this place will become a tree-lined and vibrant place again.

Finding the right angle, Eno dived and flew into the window.

Upon entering the room, he was greeted by emptiness.

It seems that this place has been visited by the Brothers Grimm. The exquisite candlesticks, gold and silver vessels, and even some paintings on the walls have disappeared.

"Reveal the hidden!"

Ino held the wand, pointing the tip towards the ground, while the sound of the spell echoed in the empty room.

After a moment, one wall of the room suddenly flashed with faint fluorescence, as if a hidden power was being awakened.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes for no reason, and he finally found the hidden thing. This trip was not in vain.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

As the spell fell, the wall slowly separated, revealing a small hidden closet inside.

The cabinet is about a foot square and is built entirely into the wall.

There were two yellowed books inside. The edges of the pages were frayed, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The amazing thing is that these two books gave him the feeling that there was no black magic or other evil atmosphere at all, just like two normal books.

But to be on the safe side, Ino still released the detection magic. After confirming that it was correct, he took out the books from the closet.

in the following time.

He thoroughly inspected the entire tower, including the twelve black coffins below.

After making sure nothing was missing, he returned to the Merchant Town tavern with two books.
