How Could Anyone Live Without Curiosity?

Because of Big Black's background—having emerged from darkness and seemingly thrown himself into the light—Manus was somewhat interested in how he would develop in the future, at least more interested than he was in Potter.

But for now, there was probably no way to see how Big Black would develop. Compared to him, everyone else at school seemed to be living ordinary student lives. Even if anything unusual happened, it would most likely have to wait until after graduation.

By comparison, his idea of paying to replace everyone's Broomsticks gave Manus some inspiration.

He might not be able to do it, but that did not mean Manus could not!

Of course, that did not mean being a sucker and buying the highest-performing, most overpriced Broomsticks on the market. It meant making them himself.

If there had been any minor interruption during this hard-won period of study, it was probably that the person Dumbledore had introduced him to had replied.

The letter began with a lengthy apology. He had become absorbed in researching the crystal Manus had sent him before, and by the time he saw the letter Manus had sent for Dumbledore, everything had already ended.

However, he had probably already learned about what happened afterward from Dumbledore, so the letter soon turned to business.

Besides lengthy questions and astonishment regarding the crystal, as well as answers to the questions Manus had sent before, he also expressed a desire to buy more crystals. He had even included a package with the letter, filled to the brim with materials on alchemy and Potions.

Perhaps he intended the materials not only as payment for more crystals to research, but also as an apology gift. The materials covered an extremely broad range, including Broomsticks—and more than one kind at that.

Thanks to this,
