Adam was lying on the bed thinking about the past week that he had spent practising magic with Hermione. He had learned several spells. Most of these spells were not combat spells but rather simple spells that were only used to take care of the household. In fact, except for Disarming charm there were no proper combat spells that Adam knew of.
Adam had only practised his levitation charm to use it as a combative means. He had bought this spell from the system shop so he only had to practise it properly as he could still decrease the casting spell of this spell. Hermione had also improved in her levitation charm with the help of Adam's experience and demonstration. Her other spell casting had also improved immensely. Adam still didn't manage to use Disarming charm with the same strength as he did in the duel. He couldn't help but sigh because of this as he thought 'Getting stronger in real life is really not as easy as in the fictional stories.'
Today was the day of Adam's meeting with Sophie Greengrass so Hermione had asked him to come to Leaky Cauldron early in the morning. She was still practising in the room. But she stopped when she saw Adam sighing, she asked, "Don't you have to go for the meeting? Where will you be meeting at?"
"Yeah, There's still an hour before the meeting time. She didn't mention the location so maybe at the Flourish and Blotts shop." Adam didn't really care about the meeting as long as it didn't harm him. He felt that Sophie Greengrass didn't have any reason to hurt him so he didn't feel like going back on his words and not go to the meeting. He didn't like to break the promises he made or go back on the words he had said as long as it was not extremely important so he was still going to go for the meeting. Another reason for this was that he didn't want to piss another pure-blood family off.
"Then don't you have to get ready? Aren't you going to get dressed for the meeting?" Hermione asked. Looking at the relaxed Adam, she felt like he was really going to go for the meeting in his regular clothes.
"Why? Aren't these clothes good?" Adam asked her back. He didn't feel like there was anything wrong with his current clothes.
"You..." Hermione was speechless. She couldn't find the proper words to say to Adam. She just had a hunch that Adam was not going to prepare for the meeting. But it was after all just a hunch, she didn't really think that her hunch was true. Her parents were not strict regarding many things but they were always quite stern when it came to their presentation in front of other people. They always taught her how to present herself in front of other people when going outside. Even though she did not like it, she at least TRIED to set her messy hairs properly before going out with her parents.
"You can't do this. Dad said that you always have to present yourself in front of the other people in a way that they will feel pleasant just by looking at you. If you just go around without getting properly dressed, it will be a kind of a disrespect to Mrs.Greengrass."
Adam was stunned but he could refute Hermione's words. "But..."
Hermione interrupted him and continued with her complain, "NO!!! Even though she gave you those things to set up this meeting, she still helped you. YOU. HAVE. TO. GET. DRESSED." Hermione was really stubborn but she was also bossy when it came to things that she felt were right. Adam had already experienced her bossy attitude for the past week. Now he had already understood that her weak and adorable appearance on the first day was probably because she was scared and nervous. Not that he didn't like her current attitude.
"But Hermione, where can I get a proper dress so quickly? I don't even know what to wear." Adam could see that Hermione was not going to listen to him but he still didn't want to get properly dressed just to meet a woman he would probably not even have a contact with after today's meeting.
"Didn't you always take things out of nowhere? I know you can find a way to get clothes just like that day. As for what to wear, My dad always said that wearing a suit for the social activities is the way for gentlemen. You can try it too." Hermione said while thinking. Adam couldn't even think what those two senior Grangers had filled her brain with.
'Maybe I should start with brainwashing her bit by bit.' Adam joked in his heart while looking at boss Hermione.
"Actually I can't..." Adam said hesitatingly just to get interrupted by Hermione one more time.
"Don't lie. I know you are lying. Tell me the truth. Can you really not get the suit?" Hermione suspiciously looked at Adam.
"I..." Adam wanted to lie to her but he also didn't want to lie to her for such a silly reason. After all it was just changing clothes so he finally decided to not to lie to her and get himself a suit from his system shop. It was really convenient to get these kinds of things from his shop.
"Is black okay?"
Hermione was puzzled for a second but immediately understood what he wanted to say so she smiled at him with the feeling of accomplishment, "Yes. It will look good on you."
Adam sighed and turned around to face the wall before getting himself a black suit from the system shop. Hermione was always surprised when Adam took out different things out of nowhere but she had already learned to not ask about these things as Adam always told her that it was his secret. But this didn't stop her from looking into the books to see if there was similar magic in it. But with no surprises, she failed to find anything similar.
Hermione stepped out of the room for a bit for Adam to change. Adam quickly put on his new suit. He was just 11 year old who would be 12 next month. But Adam was still at least 5 feet tall so he still looked quite good in it.
Hermione complimented him when she came back inside the room. Adam felt really embarrassed when he noticed that he was getting happy at 11 year old girl's compliment but he still tried acting like a gentleman in front of her. Finally under Hermione's careful instructions, he properly set his hairs before heading out of the room.
Hermione decided to wait for Adam in the room even after Adam's warning that he would probably not come back for an hour or two. Adam could see that she was worried about him so he did not continue to persuade her and decided to finish his meeting as soon as possible.
As Adam walked to the Flourish and Blotts in the Diagon Alley, he could notice everyone looking at him weirdly. He was trying not to attract any attention for the past week whenever he visited various shops in the Diagon Alley. But now he was once again the part of discussion in the Diagon Alley.
'Why did she have to do this?' Adam couldn't help but complain in his heart as he arrived near the Flourish and Blotts.
From the distance, Adam could see a woman standing outside the Flourish and Blotts. She looked gorgeous in Green dress with her open hairs falling down to her waist. Adam even felt like he charmed for a second.
Adam had recognized the woman. She was Sophie Greengrass. He was surprised to see her waiting for him outside the shop. He was even wondering if he was late to the meeting.
"Hello, Mrs.Greengrass. You are looking gorgeous." Adam said as he arrived in front of her. He could smell sweet scent lingering in the air around her. He was wondering if she was really using some kind of magic to charm people. around her.
"Thank you. I think you are looking quite the gentleman yourself. But it's still not good to let girls wait for you when you are going to meet them." Sophie said while giving Adam a wink. Adam knew that she was teasing him but he could still feel his heart stopping for a moment. It was really mesmerizing scene.
"I will keep your advice in my heart, but you didn't tell me the exact time of our meeting so you can not blame me." Adam said with a smile on his face but complained in his heart, 'Are you really calling yourself a girl?!!!'
"It's really impolite to say something like this. But I will forgive you this time. I still have some things to do after sometime so I think we should start our meeting soon." Sophie said as she stretched her hand out to Adam, gesturing him to hold her hand.
Adam didn't understand what she meant but he still took her hand in his hand anyways. As he was about to ask where they were going to have their meeting, Adam felt himself spinning and twisting in weird ways. He immediately understood that Sophie had apparated with him.
After couple of seconds, Adam found himself in front of a big restaurant. Looking at the streets filled with cars and motorbikes, Adam knew that this restaurant was in the muggle world. He looked at Sophie in puzzlement.
"Did you really think I would have important talk in a shop like Flourish and Blotts? We are having our lunch in this place." Sophie gently grabbed on to Adam's arm before walking in the restaurant. Adam was silent all the way till both of them entered the private room that Sophie had booked for their meeting.
Adam didn't understand why Sophie had brought him to a muggle restaurant but he was sure that she was a frequent customer in this place as every waiter and even manager greeted her when they saw them walking by.
"Mrs.Greengrass, why did you bring me here in this restaurant?" Adam asked when they were finally alone. He really wanted to know what kind of thing she wanted to talk with him that she had to take him out of the wizarding world.
"Don't think too much. I don't come here often. And I didn't bring you here to get away from our Wizarding world. I just love the food that they serve in this place." Sophie said while looking into Adam's eyes.
Adam was stunned but then he thought of something and immediately broke their eye contact. He knew that she had used legilimency on him to read his thoughts. He was really worried right now, he didnt want her to know about his system.
"You used legilimency on me?" Adam asked angrily as he got up from his seat.
"Don't get angry. It has become my habit to use legilimency on people. And don't worry, I didn't see your secrets. In fact, even I couldn't see anything from your mind except for these useless thoughts. Something blocks my ability whenever I try to use it to see deep inside your head. Everything becomes blank. World of complete white when I try to venture inside your head or when you think about something that I couldn't know of. Even I am curious about how can you block my ability without any occlumency. I am really curious. What kind of secrets are you hiding?" Sophie looked at Adam from top to bottom as if she wanted to check what Adam was made up of.
Greengrass family's ability was really special and she probably had the strongest ability of all the members in her family. No one except the strong Wizards at Dumbledore's level or extremely powerful occlumens could block her ability that could looking into their thoughts. But now Adam could somehow block her ability without having any strength or any knowledge about occlumency which surprised her.
"So you brought me here to see how was I able to block your ability? If so, then you will be disappointed to know that I don't even know what you are talking about." Adam was angry but he still maintained his composure and sat back into his seat. He was relieved that she could not look into his mind but he was also worried that she might do something crazy if she didn't get satisfactory answers from him.
"Dear oh dear! You misunderstood me, Adam. I didn't bring you here to know about your secrets. I just said that I was curious about your secrets but I don't really care about them." Sophie said while showing charming smile on her face. But Adam was not in the mood to admire it anymore. He was vigilant in his heart. she continued, "And if I really were to use my ability with all my strength, I can definitely look into your memories. It's just that you will become a complete idiot after that moment."
"So why did you bring me here, Mrs.Greengrass? And why in this muggle restaurant? And why did you tell me about your ability?" Adam asked suspiciously. He really wanted to run away from this place but he knew he couldn't run away. So he decided to calmly talk his way out of this situation, instead of offending her like how he had offended Lucius.
"So many questions... But I will answer you anyways. But before that I must say, You have grown up quite a bit in this past week. Now you can control your anger, unlike the day you met Lucius." She smiled at him mysteriously. Adam was not surprised that she probably knew about his dialogue with Lucius as there were many people present there at that time. She continued, "First of all, Adam, this is not a muggle restaurant. It might look like a muggle restaurant but in fact, this place is gathering place of the Wizards and also muggle magic users. We call them mages. Oh, and this restaurant also belongs to our Greengrass family. You know not many pure-blood families would like to have a restaurant in the muggle world." Sophie said till this point and them stopped to order lunch for both of them.
Adam digested what she had just said then he immediately asked, "Does that mean Wizards and mages are in each other's contact? Then what about the law of secrecy?" Adam had read many books in the past few days and he had noticed that law of secrecy was still being implemented in this world.
"We are not just in contact with each other but in fact, there is a deeper co-operation between us and the mages. I can't tell you about this in details because of the unbreakable oath that we had to make but I can tell you one thing that this is regarding the big event that had happened 70 years ago. As for the law of secrecy, The International Statute Of Secrecy, is now not how it used to be but it is still there and we are still maintaining it by not letting mages participate in our Wizarding world. As for ordinary people or weak mages, they don't know anything about this co-operation or wizarding world." Sophie said while looking at Adam. Adam didn't know why but he could now feel that she was trying to use her ability on him.
"Can you please stop using your ability?" As soon Adam spoke, he felt like something heavy was lifted off of his head. He knew that she had stopped her ability. "Thank you. Can you tell me something about those events?"
"I can't. But let's continue solving your questions first. You just asked me why I brought you here. Answer to this question is that I want to make a transaction with you. But before I tell you about this transaction, I want you to make an unbreakable vow with me that you will be keeping our talk about this transaction a secret." Sophie finally started speaking seriously. Adam knew that this transaction must be very important to her for her to speak so seriously. She had been teasing him since the moment he had met her today. In fact, Adam had already guessed what she was going to talk about but he was not completely sure as he felt that there was nothing he could do in that matter.
Adam knew that unbreakable vow would not harm him as long as he doesn't break it so he did not decline her. Sophie called her house-elf 'Teemy' , which immediately appeared beside her. She held out her right hand forwards toward Adam which was immediately held by him. Adam had seen Snape and Narcissa Malfoy make unbreakable vow in the movie so he knew about the process but it was still a little different than what he knew.
"Can you make an unbreakable vow with a house elf as a witness? " Adam asked as he looked at the house elf beside Sophie.
"It was impossible in the past but after that event, even the house elves got some increase in their powers. Teemy, is our family house elf since the time of that event. She had already been the witness of many unbreakable vows that I made. It's not easy to be the member of pure-blood family. Sometimes you just want to run away." Sophie sighed with sadness in her eyes. Adam could see that she was tired with whatever she had been facing in the pure-blood family but he didn't speak as it was not his place to speak in her family matters.
"I see. Then let's start." Adam said as Teemy the house elf started releasing magic from her hands to the linked hands of Adam and Sophie. After talking about vows and accepting them, Sophie started talking about the transaction that she wanted to make with Adam.
"I want your help to get something from the Hogwarts. It is very important to our family so I need your help." Sophie said while looking directly into Adam's eyes. It was just that she didn't use her ability anymore.
"What is that thing?" Adam asked raising his eyebrows at her.
"It is a book. Book about the blood magic." Adam just looked at Sophie without saying any word, after he heard her words. He had already guessed where this was going. Sophie saw that Adam didn't speak anything so she continued, "Blood magic is considered as a black magic but in fact it has many uses. You can quickly heal others or you can also heal yourself quickly during the battle using blood magic. You can even use it as a powerful attacking and defensive means during a fight of life and death."
"It indeed feels like an incredible magic but I don't think this is the reason why you want to find a book about the blood magic." Adam said calmly looking at Sophie. He already knew that she wanted to get this book for curing the blood curse in their family but he didn't say anything about this.
"It is indeed not the reason why I want this book." Sophie sighed sadly, after few deep breaths she looked at Adam, "We have already established an unbreakable vow so I won't hide this from you. There is a strange blood curse going around in my family since a long time. It had been passed down from our ancestors. It won't appear in every generation but those who had this curse won't be able to live their life over the age of 50. Even in those 50 years, they will live with weak body. They won't be able to enjoy their lives. They couldn't do many things that normal people do everyday because of their body weakness. If they overwork their body, their blood curse will erupt and they will face unbearable pain because of it. This situation stays the same till the day they die." Sophie paused for a while, Adam could see faint tears in her eyes. Adam didn't know why she showed him her tears. Maybe because she wanted Adam to sympathize with her and accept the transaction or maybe because she couldn't control her tears which was very less likely as he felt that she had to be a powerful occlumens so she should still be able to easily control her emotions .
Adam speculated these things in his mind but still kept his mouth shut and looked at her. He knew that even if she deliberately showed her tears, Her tears were definitely real as her own daughter was the victim of this terrible Blood curse.
After the pause, Sophie continued, "Death is still a better option for them. If the person who had been suffering with the blood curse did not die, then they would face even more horrible situation. Their body will start to change into an animal. At first, they can switch their human and animal form voluntarily but as time passes by, they will start to lose this power and soon completely turn into a complete animal. They can never change back into their human form again. They will still retain their ability to think like a human for a while if they are turned into peaceful animal but if they turn into some aggressive animal, they will completely lose their humanity and turn into a complete animal with both their body and mind. They will not recognize their loved ones. They will attack them and kill them without any reservation. Sometimes they will wake up from this state, but after recalling the horrible things that they did, they would become heartbroken. This curse will not just take their human body from them but it will also take their humanity away and then slowly break their heart and mind until they finally get tired of themselves and their life. Most of the Wizards could not even bear to completely become the animal and would just end their lives before their complete transformation."
Reaching this point, Sophie already had tears flowing down from her eyes to her cheeks then slowly falling down on her lap as she sat silently on the chair. Adam couldn't help but admire this strong woman sitting in front of him. Even though she had tears quickly trickling down from her cheeks, She still did not stop in the middle of this conversation. She calmly told him about the consequences of this blood curse.
Adam quietly got handkerchief from the system shop while acting like he had taken it out of his pocket. He passed it to Sophie. Adam could not just see someone crying in front of him, especially the fairer sex.
Sophie wiped her tears with Adam's handkerchief before looking back up to him, "This blood curse has emerged once again in our family. And I want to protect her. I have the responsibility to protect her so I hope you could help me get that book."
Adam looked at her for few seconds before finally speaking, "Is Astoria the one with the blood curse in your family?"
Sophie looked at Adam with a shock on her face. she was looking at him with conflicted expression, as if thinking if she should ask him how he knew about this or kill him directly.
Adam noticed this look on her face so he explained, "When I saw Astoria that day, I noticed that her complexion was really pale. I could see that she was looking very weak that day. She was always hiding behind you as if she was not used to be in a place with strangers which was very unnatural for a pure-blood family member. Now that you told me so much about this blood curse, I tried connecting this conditions with Astoria. If she had a blood curse then it was probably very normal for her to be never out in the place with strangers which would definitely make her nervous when she faced me and Hermione that day. And what gave it away in the most noticing way were your tears. I could never imagine a strong woman like you crying for anyone except for the people that are very close to you. You probably also know the occlumency too so it would be easy to hide your emotions if it were someone else."
Sophie was stunned by Adam's speculation. She was not using her ability right now so she would not even guess that Adam created this bullsh*t speculation just to fool her. She finally reacted after a long pause, "It is indeed Astoria. I was not going to tell you about this but now that you know about it, I hope you can help me get the book. If you can't get the book by yourself, then I hope you can at least help my daughter 'Daphne' get that book. She is also one of the First-years in the hogwarts this year. You don't have to worry about the reward. I can give you the money or rare books about ancient magic or whatever you want. With this reward, I also have one additional reward prepared for you, which will definitely be really useful to you in the future. I will give it you right away, if you accept this transaction. And I didn't deliberately shed these tears in front of you. My occlumency technique is special so I don't hide my emotions with it."
"I see... Mrs.Greengrass, I really want to help you but I want to make sure that I am not doing something evil and I also want to know why do you want to choose me, a first year , instead of seventh year student who are much stronger and knowledgeable than me. I am pretty sure that with your ability, you can find Sixth or seventh year helpers very easily. And I also want to know, where did you get this information about the book of blood magic which is hidden in the hogwarts but not yet found by previous principals or professors? " Adam asked calmly. He really wanted to know why she wanted to pick him. He didn't want to get stuck in some crazy thing by promising her about this task.
"I knew you will feel suspicious about this. There are various reasons why I wanted to choose you. First one is that there is a trial left by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of the Hogwarts, which you can only participate in if your age is less than 15. I could choose 4th years but I wanted to find someone who can help Daphne for the longest time, even if they failed for the first year. So most ideal choice was the first year student, who could definitely stay with Daphne for as long as she would be in the Hogwarts. As for the last reason, I feel like you will have the strength and wisdom to complete this trial. I have seen your duel with Draco and I can say that you will definitely become one of the strongest wizards in this wizarding world if you live for another 30-40 years. You are probably the strongest 11 year old little wizard I have ever seen." Sophie looked if Adam had any change of expression on his face but she was disappointed as Adam was sitting still on his chair looking like he was listening to interesting story. She continued, "I got information about this book from a mysterious wizard. I don't know who he is but I have confirmed with unbreakable vow that what he said is the truth. He had once found Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, that's how he received this news. You probably don't know about this diadem but you can think of it as an artifact that can give its wearer the greatest wisdom in the world. So you don't have to worry about this book about the blood magic being fake."
Adam was shocked by this information. He couldn't care less about Rowena Ravenclaw's trial right now as he had guessed that this mysterious man was definitely the lord voldemort. No one except him had seen the Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem in past few decades so closely to know secrets like this. He had even turned that diadem into his own horcrux. But now that the lord voldemort had contacted Greengrass Family to carry out a transaction with the information about this book for something that he needed, then the main question is what did he ask in return for this transaction. Would Sophie tell him about this transaction? He highly doubted it. He might even ruin his business relationship with her if he asked her about this or tried to get answers from her about this. Only thing he could now was increase Sophie's trust him in before asking her about this.
Adam decided to accept this task. Even if voldemort was not part of this thing, he might still accept this task as he already met Astoria who had called him Big brother. He would feel bad if he let her suffer this terrible curse when he could help her.
"Mrs.Greengrass, I will accept this task. If you told me that it was for Astoria, then I would have already accepted this task. I won't just sit by when a little girl who called me 'Big brother' was facing such pain in silence. But I still hope to keep a copy of the book if we can get it. I want to make sure that it isn't used for something evil and even if it is used for evil things, I would like to have this copy to stop the evil from spreading." Adam said while looking at the Sophie who was hopefully waiting for his reply.
Sophie had already added a vow in their unbreakable vow that if Adam accepts this transaction then he has to do his best to try and complete it. So she didn't have to make another unbreakable vow. She took out a big heavy book from her small purse, "Thank you for accepting my transaction and also for the help you will be providing in the future. And I also hope you will take care of Daphne in the hogwarts. You can keep the copy of book when we find it. Now as for your reward, this is the book about occlumency and legilimency that I personally improved. I don't want to brag but my ability to use both legilimency and occlumency is the strongest in our entire family. So you can think of this book as the best legilimency and occlumency book in the world. You can find some things in it that you will never know about from anyone else." Adam could see that Sophie's teasing smile had already returned to her face. He could not help but be surprised by the speed at which women changed their colors.
Adam looked down at the book in front of him. He had been looking for the book about occlumency since the first day he had visited the Flourish and Blotts. He wanted to learn it to hide his secrets about his system from Dumbledore and Snape who loved to look into other people's head all the time but he couldn't find this book. Later he wanted to enter Knockturn Alley to find a book about this topic but he didn't have strength to take care of himself so he canceled his plans. But now he had finally received this book, and the best one at that. He could only think that his protagonist luck was shining.
"Can I ask you what is so special about this book?" Adam could not help but ask after looking at the proud expression on Sophie's face.
"You have to find about it by yourself. It's about the facial expression and emotions that I told you about. It is my personal creation. I hope you won't spread the content of this book everywhere. It would be even better if you didn't tell anyone about this book." Sophie waved her hand to let the waiter enter with their lunch. She looked excited when she saw her favorite dish, which was a type of pasta, appear in front of her.
'No one would even think that this woman was so serious and cried just now if they saw her like this.' Adam thought in his heart.
Adam could see that Sophie didn't have any intention to speak anymore so he also started with his lunch, which he found to be very delicious. After the Sophie quickly finished her lunch, Adam once again asked her about the Co-operation between wizards and mages and also asked why muggle magic users were called mages, but not Wizards.
"There is a major difference between us Wizards and those mages. We wizards study about the magic. We research and develop new spells. We have deep knowledge about the magic we use. We can use different types of magic that can control different elements or can create one thing from another with the help of magic like Transfiguration. But unlike us, those mages can only use a single element like fire, water, wind, lightning, etc. They can not use other magical spells like us. They can not learn new things. Even though their elemental magic has a higher strength, they can be still easily countered by us Wizards, who can use whatever magic we want as long as we practise properly. In a sense, they are inferior to us except for their population. Our Wizards can still not catch up to them even after having our birth rate increased after that big event. It would've been even better if pure-blood families could easily give birth to their offspring like other wizards. Unlike muggle-born wizards and half-blood wizards, pure-blood families still has the same low birth rate." Sophie sighed slightly. Adam didn't understand why she sighed. Maybe because pure-blood families didn't have good birth rate or maybe because she felt that it was unfair that only muggle-born wizards and half-blood wizards had their birth rate increased after the magical surge.
'You already have two daughters. Why do you even care so much about these things?' Adam complained in his mind, but did not dare say it out aloud.
Adam had finally understood about the reason why muggle magic users were called mages. but he was still surprised by the fact that mages could only use single element. He had not seen any powerful mages till now so he didn't know these things.
"And about the Co-operation between wizards and mages?" Adam once again picked this topic up. He had a strong feeling that this was related to the secret spaces that appeared everywhere but he didn't say it in front of her as he felt that both muggle government and Ministry of magic were trying to hide this existence with pure-blood families also being the part of this secret.
"I can't tell you about this. " Sophie said as she took out another big book out of her bag. It had no title on it. She put this book on the table before standing up from her chair.
"I have other work to do now. So I will leave first. Teemy will take you back after you finish your lunch. I will let Daphne tell you about the information of the trial when you reach hogwarts."
Before Adam could say anything, she had apparated from their private room. There was only her voice echoing in the room,
"I hope I didn't forget anything."
Listening to this sentence, Adam looked at the book in front of him. He immediately understood that this book was deliberately left behind by her to tell him the things that she could not say because of the unbreakable vow. Adam didn't know what kind lousy vow the other party had made with her that she could use this way to relay the information to Adam that he wanted to know.
Adam put both books in his item box. He had noticed in the past week that he could store books and potion ingredients in his item box even if they are not bought in the system shop which he found very convenient.
Adam ordered another pasta that he had just eaten. He really liked it so he thought of taking it back for Hermione. He was sure that she should still be reading books or practising magic without having her lunch. She always forget about these things when she was immersed in reading books or busy in practising magic.
After a while Adam called Teemy to take him back to the leaky cauldron. Initially this meeting was not that interesting to him but he still got to have a lunch with a beautiful crying woman. And also 2 rare books as a bonus with some information about mages to add in the fun in this meeting. So it was still a fruitful day for him.
