The upstairs room seems to be both a living room and a workshop, so it's even more messy than the kitchen. It was still a standard circle, with piles of books and papers on every surface, and delicate animal models hanging from the ceiling, many of which Neville had never seen, flapping their wings or moving their mouths, but they were not silent.

Mr. Lovegood was at work, standing in front of a complex-looking machine that looked like a monster crossed from a workbench and a pile of old shelves, mainly wood, with many magically turned gears.

This is supposed to be an old-fashioned printing press, because it's spitting out copies of "Singing Bad Songs."

Speaking of the magazine, Neville felt as if he had heard the name somewhere, and as long as he had that impression, he should have been able to find a record of it in a small notebook.

Neville pulled out a small, thin notebook, which was actually a table of contents, unlike the notebook, which was already thicker and thicker like a dictionary and looked like a brick.

It is said that there was a wizard who left all the books to his students on his deathbed, and at that time he gave the man a book as thick as a dictionary, telling him that he would become a great wizard if he read all the above contents......

Well, that's right, that dictionary-like book is also just a table of contents.

[Well, thanks to Hermione, it's really much more convenient to have a catalog...... One hundred and seventy-two pages, "Singing and Singing" ......]

It didn't take much time for Neville to finish reading the transcript of "Singing Against Tunes," which seemed to be a magazine dedicated to eyewitnesses to creatures that were said to have no zài in the world, as well as some off-the-beaten-path news.

Knowing this, Neville looked at Mr. Lovegood, who was skilled in operating the printing press, and he had no idea what he could do here.

It seemed that the machine did not need to be operated by a person at all times, and after a while of being busy, Mr. Lovegood went to the side to rest.

"Hey, why haven't you left yet?"

He looked at Neville in surprise, who scratched his head, not knowing where to start.

Luna walked to the printing press, picked up the freshly printed "Singing and Singing" and sniffed it under her nose, and said without raising her head: "Dad, he should be the person you said before that he would come here to help during the summer vacation." ”

"When did I say that?"

"It was in the morning. ”

"And what's going on?"

Neville really didn't know what to look like, but just then he saw the letter he had given to Mr. Lovegood, so he picked it up and handed it to Mr. Lovegood, who seemed to have a similar memory as his own.

"Oh, thanks. Taking the letter, Mr. Lovegood opened it and said, "I almost forgot it. ”

The letter should not have been long, for it took Mr. Lovegood only a little over ten seconds to fold the letter again. He looked up at Neville, then at his daughter, and suddenly laughed.

"Ah, thank you so much. "I'm worried that if I have to go out to collect materials, I won't be at ease that Luna is home alone, and it seems that my troubles have finally been solved." ”

Scratching his head, Neville felt as if he understood, and as if he didn't.

"Uh, you're going to go far away?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm going to Sweden, and I've heard that someone has spotted the scimitar-horned snorer there. ”

Mr. Lovegood looked excited, and he stood up, dancing with his hands, and nearly hit Neville in the nose, so Neville had to take a few steps back.

"A lot of people don't believe in scimitar-horned snores, but I'll prove it to them!" Mr. Lovegood shook his fist hard, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Neville and asked, "Do you believe that scimitar-horned snorers really exist?"

"I've never heard of a scimitar snorer before. ”

Neville replied honestly that there was no mention of the existence of scimitar-horned snores in the first-year class on protecting magical beasts anyway.

This answer apparently did not satisfy Mr. Lovegood, and he planned to give Neville a good lecture on the scimitar-horned snorer.

However, Luna suddenly raised the "Singing Contrarian" in her hand and said, "I'm going too!"

"If you're a few years older, I'll consider taking you there. "This time I'm going to go deep into the mountains, and I'm going to spend at least a month there, and it's going to be very hard and maybe a little dangerous." ”

Neville was fortunate enough to watch the father and daughter debate, and he didn't know who to stand for, because Mr. Lovegood was obviously very reasonable, but it didn't seem good to leave Luna alone at home.

Mr. Lovegood was still convinced, and he decided to take Luna with him to Sweden to catch the scimitar-horned snorer, so the question is, what should Neville do?

"Well, since you're going to Sweden together, I'd better go home. ”

"That's too much trouble, why don't you go to Sweden with us, and you should make a trip." ”

Mr. Lovegood warmly invited Neville to go to Sweden with him, but the problem was that Neville was not very accustomed to this kind of enthusiasm, and it seemed that he had not been in the house for half an hour.

"Listen to me, kid, there aren't many opportunities to catch scimitar-horned snorers, and if you miss them, you're gone. ”

"But Sweden ...... That's a little too far. Neville was also a little moved, for Mr. Lovegood described the trip as very attractive, "and my grandmother ...... there."

"Don't worry, I'll make it clear to Mrs. Longbottom, and she'll agree. ”

"Hmm......"

"It is so happily decided that I will now write to Mrs. Longbottom. ”

Looking at Mr. Lovegood, who turned to look for the letter, envelope, and quill, Neville had no choice but to nod and say, "...... Well, I'll go with you. ”

"Wise choice. Mr. Lovegood gave a thumbs up, "Trust me, you won't regret it." ”

"Hehe......"

With a dry laugh, Neville turned to look at Luna, who was really quiet the rest of the time except when she was debating with Mr. Lovegood. She sat on the windowsill with the book in her arms, and Caixia fell on her, painting her with a layer of gold edge.

Following Luna's example, Neville found a place to sit down and opened the "Singing Contrarian" in his hand......

The sun is about to set, but fear because the sun will rise tomorrow.

――――――――――――――

Neville was still a first-time traveler, but Mr. Lovegood was already very experienced. From Devon, they crossed most of Britain to the North Sea, and then sailed across the Strait of Skagerrak to Sweden.

As soon as the boat landed, Neville jumped onto the shore with two large boxes on his shoulders, and it was a great feeling to have his feet on the ground.

As of now, everything has been smooth, and Mr. Lovegood is a very talkative person, acting like a tour guide to introduce Neville to the scenery along the way and some of the things he has experienced before.

"We're going to the northern part of Scandinavia, here. ”

Mr. Lovegood spread out his map and pointed to the line of mountains that ran through Scandinavia, and the location that Mr. Lovegood was referring to should be in Norway in the strict sense of the word.

"I have a feeling that we can catch the scimitar snorkel this time!"

Unlike Mr. Lovegood's confidence, Neville suddenly remembered one thing at this time, that is, it seemed that this family was actually very unreliable.

[I hope I can catch the scimitar-horned snoring beast ...... smoothly]
