Ch 756-760

You actually kept it from me for so long. Tell me what happened that day?" Seamus said excitedly.

"Tomorrow, I'll tell you tomorrow, or you can go to Harry and Ron, and they know." Seeing Seamus's excitement, Ivan shook his head helplessly.

I wouldn't say so much if I knew it, he still has some important things to do tonight.

Because of the previous contradiction, Seamus really didn't have the face to ask Harry again, and had to pester Ivan reluctantly.

Fortunately at this time, Ron, who had finished guiding the new student, walked in from the door and relieved Ivan.

After all, Ron likes telling stories the most...

After finally getting rid of Seamer's entanglement, Ivan walked to the bed and tidied the suitcase, and then leaned on the bedside to open up the live spot map.

"I solemnly swear that I did nothing good!"

Ivan's wand was tapped lightly, and the delicate ink lines surfaced on the blank parchment paper, gradually drawing the outline of the entire castle.

"Well, Dumbledore is in the office." Ivan looked around on the spot map and quickly determined Dumbledore's location. When she jumped up from the bed, she was about to go to the principal's room and ask about the location of the Hogwarts magic storage room.

The scarcity of magic power is his biggest weakness now. If it can be solved, he won't have to hide away when he sees Voldemort again, and he can rely on blood magic to fight the opponent head-on...

With such power, coupled with the law enforcers in Knockdown Alley, it would be no problem to kick the Ministry of Magic directly.

Just as Ivan was thinking this way, Dumbledore's name flashed on the map of Huodian suddenly, and then disappeared without a trace.

Ivan, who was walking to the door, had to stop and glanced carefully on the map of the spot. Dumbledore's name could not be seen anywhere else.

If it weren't for the deliberate use of magic to block the name like last school year, it would prove that Dumbledore left the school through the Phoenix.

"Have you gone out? It's the big night? What's so urgent?" Ivan raised his brows slightly, pondering inwardly.

It was rare for Dumbledore to be late at the previous school opening ceremony, and he didn't stop at the slightest after the dinner, as if he was rushing to do something.

This made Ivan feel something was wrong, and Dumbledore's condition was a bit better, completely different from his expectations.

If the opponent still used his left hand when casting a spell, and he saw Dumbledore's name on the map of the point just now, he would have doubted whether it was Dumbledore himself.

"Forget it, ask again tomorrow, it's not bad for a couple of days." Ivan waited for a long time without seeing Dumbledore coming back with the map of the live spot, so I temporarily gave up the idea of ​​asking about the magic storage room and took out Niu instead. But the two books given by Le May read.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Ivan got up from the bed with a yawn. After washing, he walked out of the dormitory with Harry, Ron and others.

When a few people arrived in the lounge, they saw Hermione standing on the bulletin board angrily peeling off a piece of parchment.

"What's on it? Hermione?" Ivan stepped forward curiously and asked.

"Look at it for yourself!" Hermione handed the parchment over.

At first, Ivan thought it was Umbridge who was doing something, but after a glance, he realized that it was actually an advertisement for the Weasley joke shop, which marked the new product they had just developed this year, and it was quite fair. Hiring experimenters and staff at the end...

"Quick-acting skipping candy, answering quill pens, decoy bombs, and even making a portable swamp... How can they sell these things, it's damn! They weren't so bold last year, because Percy will definitely stop them!"

Hermione was shivering with anger. She thought that George and Fred must feel that they had become prefects with Ron this year and would be so unscrupulous that they would be merciful to them, and posted the advertisement directly on the bulletin board in the lounge.

"God, Hermione, do you want to be the next Percy? That's terrible!" Ron didn't think it was a big deal to post an ad, but was shocked by Hermione's words in the second half.

He thought about it, Hermione was holding a copy of "How the Prefect Gets Power" all day, and her body shuddered involuntarily as she arrogantly commanded.

"Of course I don't want to be Percy..." Hermione rolled her eyes and said angrily. "But they should know that fifth-grade students will have to take the O.W.L. exam this year, and the seventh-year students will also have to take the N.E.W.T. certificate. There is no time to spend time on fun!"

"Will you help me? Ivan..." Hermione turned her head and looked at Ivan, begging. She knew she couldn't help George and Fred.

"Okay, I will talk to them when I have time and let them converge a little." Ivan nodded and agreed.

Because he saw the ecstasy named "Wonder Witch" in the product list, selling this kind of mentally-affecting potion is really too much, and it's easy to go wrong.

Not to mention that this year Umbridge is going to vigorously rectify Hogwarts, it is not a good thing to be too free at this time.

"Slightly restrained?" Hermione pursed her lips a little unhappy.

"Okay, don't care about this so much, let's hurry up and eat..." Ivan didn't compromise this time. He threw the advertisement aside, and suddenly kissed Hermione on the cheek, and then did not wait. She responded and took her hand and walked towards the auditorium.

Hermione's face flushed, and for a while the trouble with George and Fred was forgotten. Although it is not the first time Ivan has kissed her, Harry and Ron are still paying it back. here I am.

A few people walked into the hall together, and the students met along the way had polarized attitudes. Some people greeted them enthusiastically, while the remaining students stayed away from a distance, as if they were a plague.

Of course Ivan knows what's going on. Those little wizards who are hiding from themselves should believe in the words of the Daily Prophet, or they were ordered by family members during the summer vacation and ordered them to leave themselves in trouble. The source of it is farther away.

Those who are still willing to believe in him are probably the followers who worship him.

Harry also keenly noticed that some people were deliberately avoiding him, and he was immediately frustrated. He couldn't understand why so many people were willing to believe the crazy words of the Ministry of Magic.

"Of course it's because of the power of public opinion!" Ivan explained. "The Ministry of Magic can be compared to a Muggle government. It is authoritative. As long as what they say is not too outrageous, most people will choose to believe it. Coupled with the bombardment of information from the Daily Prophet, there are even more people who believe in it!"

Ivan knew very well how easy it is for the government to manipulate public opinion and reverse black and white. Even a bag of washing powder can be said to be a biological weapon. Whether Voldemort is dead or alive is not a matter of their words.

"Yes! The wizards can only see what the Ministry of Magic wants them to see. If only another influential newspaper is willing to report the truth..." Hermione will also be relieved from the previous embarrassment. God came, talked freely, then paused, and said with regret.

"Even Lavender believes in the rhetoric of the Daily Prophet."

"Don't worry, I will persuade her, it only takes a little time!" Ron slapped his chest and promised. Since the prom last school year, his relationship with Lavender has grown by leaps and bounds, and within a few days it became a reality. Boyfriend.

While chatting, Ivan and the others quickly sat at the long table in Gryffindor, enjoyed today's breakfast, and then rushed to the classroom of the history of magic without stopping.

The ghost professor Bins, as usual, didn't care much about the classroom order, he followed the script throughout the whole process, and talked about the topic of Giants' War for more than an hour.

The boring history of magic made everyone in the audience sleepy. Only Hermione listened carefully and took several pages of notes.

Before the class, Ivan picked a remote location and took out the "Book of Pictographs" to look through it.

I was idle last night, and he had already roughly turned over the two books that Nicol LeMay gave him.

Although the other "Book of Jewish Abraham" records a lot of advanced alchemy knowledge, even the method of making the Philosopher's Stone was unearthed by Nicol Lemay.

However, the full text of this book is composed of Latin, Arabic, Chaldean and Syriac. He can't understand it without translation.

Moreover, Ivan believes that this "Book of Pictograms" will help him the most in a short period of time.

After all, this is Nicol LeMay's research notes, and the knowledge is sorted out, very concise and understandable.

In addition, there are hundreds of different magic texts and thousands of magic text arrangement methods, as well as the method of using the magic stone!

"Sure enough, during last summer vacation, the teacher was studying something related to the Sorcerer's Stone..." When Ivan turned to a certain page, he couldn't help but stop, muttering to himself.

On this page is painted a weird arm-guard-like device, with a groove in the center, inlaid with a bright red irregular stone.

A year ago, he had seen the same thing on Nicol LeMay's research drawings.

After studying the content recorded below, Ivan quickly understood the purpose of this device.

Generally speaking, if you want to use the huge magic power in the Philosopher's Stone, you have to set up an alchemy circle, which is somewhat inconvenient during battle. The enemy will not give you time to prepare in an encounter.

So the arm guard developed by Nicol Lemay is very important, which is equivalent to a magic guide device, which can easily transfer the magic stored in the Philosopher's Stone to release magic.

This is probably what Nicol Lemay said, a trick to gain ample magic power in battle.

Seeing this, Ivan understood that he had one more thing to do this year, and that was to make this alchemy device!

In the next lesson, Ivan found out how to use the alchemy circle to transform matter and the formula of the potion of immortality in the book "Book of Pictographic Symbols"...

Ivan was very excited. It's nothing more than turning stones into gold. It is very easy to make money with his current alchemy level, but immortality is different.

This is the ultimate dream of most people.

Especially this is still quality longevity, after all, the potion's effect also has the effect of delaying aging.

As for Nicol LeMay's old look all the time, there is actually a reason.

First, taking too much potion, the body's drug resistance greatly reduces the potion's anti-aging effect.

Secondly, it took Nico Lemay more than 20 years to analyze and make the magic stone. By the time he took the potion of immortality, he was already in his 50s and 60s. Unless he was transformed by magic, he could not be a younger one. The body has come to spend more than six hundred years.

This has to be said to be a pity!

But he is different, very young, and after taking the potion, he can completely maintain his body's function at its peak for a long time!

Thinking about this, Ivan couldn't help feeling a little excited, but he quickly suppressed these emotions.

Hold steady, hold steady... take your time!

Now is not the time to distract and study these alchemy circles...

Ivan forced his gaze away from these alchemy circles and turned to the alchemy device that guides magic power. This is something that needs to be studied in the near future.

[Ding, after the host's unremitting efforts, the magic history class is over, please continue to work hard.

This comprehensive comprehensive class evaluation: low

Appraiser: Bince Cuthbert

Reward: academic points*2

....]

Just as Ivan was studying how to make this alchemy device, the system prompt in his mind rang.

Ivan was stunned, and then he realized that the magic history class was over. Professor Bins on the podium wandered out all the way, and looked at his side before leaving.

Obviously, the ghost professor who looked a little old and confused still discovered that he hadn't listened to the class seriously.

But that's right, it's rare that he didn't stand up to answer the question~www.mtlnovel.com~ It would be strange if he couldn't find it.

Ivan touched his nose. It seems that he should pay more attention to it in the future. It is still very important for the grade point to greatly improve his learning efficiency.

The next session was the potions class. No one wanted to be late in Snape's class, and Ivan was no exception, so he hurriedly packed his textbooks and left the classroom.

"Ivan, why were you absent-minded when you were in class today?" Hermione also quickly followed and asked strangely.

When Professor Bins asked questions today, Ivan didn't even fight with her, which made Herzee too accustomed to it.

"I'm just studying a very important alchemy subject. It's a bit too fascinating... Besides, I've read this history of the Giant Wars in books a long time ago, and it doesn't matter if I listen to the class." Ivan said with a smile.

Seeing Ivan's lightheartedness, Harry and Ron on the side were very envious.

The course taught by Professor Bins was too boring, so the two of them listened drowsy and played a class game. Now they can only beg Hermione to lend her notes from the history of magic class to her next exam. they...

After a few people stepped into the classroom and sat down, the class bell had already rang.

It didn't take long for Snape in a black robe to push the door and walk in, swinging his wand backhand to close the door of the classroom.

The classroom suddenly became very quiet, and everyone was sitting in jeopardy, putting away their playful thoughts.

"Before we officially start the class, I think it's necessary to remind you..." Snape casually placed the book on the podium and said.

The pair of hollow eyes scanned the classroom, and when they fell on Ivan, they could not help but stay for a few seconds, then moved their eyes away calmly and continued.

"You will take an important exam next June. At that time, you will prove how much you have learned about the preparation and use of potions."

"Although there are a few people in this class who are really mentally retarded, I hope that you all can barely'pass' in the O.W.L. exam, otherwise I will be... very angry!"

Having said this, Snape's gaze fell directly on Neville's face, and Neville's body trembled, and he took a breath of fright.

"Of course, after this year, many of you will no longer be able to take my class... I only select the students with the best grades to enter my NEWT potions class. That is to say, we talk to some people I will have to say goodbye..."

Snape spoke plainly about the important exam a year from now.

O.W.L., the full name of the Ordinary Wizarding Level Test, has a total of twelve subjects. It is a sub-subject test required for fifth-grade students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Only after passing the test can they get the qualification for continuing to study magic. The importance is evident.

The subsequent N.E.W.T exams taken by seventh graders are equivalent to vocational certificates, which are directly related to whether they can find a good job after graduation.

For example, to apply for the Auror of the Ministry of Magic, it is necessary to obtain at least "excellent" or "good evaluation" in the five subject N.E.W.T. exams.

Of course, for Ivan, such an exam is not worth taking.

With his current level of magic, in addition to some luck in the divination class, Ivan is confident that he will get the highest evaluation in the remaining eleven exams.

But in order to earn grade points, Ivan still pretended to listen patiently.

After a few warnings, Snape quickly took out his books and started the first potion class of the school-brewing the mitigator!

In this class, Harry suffered from Snape's venomous tongue as always. As long as he made the slightest mistake, Snape would suddenly appear behind him like a ghost, mocking and mocking.

"Potter! I asked you to make potions, not to boil water..."

"Is the moonstone powder put at this time? Potter? Read the instructions for me again!"

"Potter, two drops of hellebore syrup is enough, remember it clearly, I don't want to say it again!"

...

Under Snape's constant "inspiration", Harry, who was already in a hurry, completely boiled the potion into a ball of waste water, which was ridiculed by Snape in public.

In the end, the gray-headed Harry had to use his eyes to help, hoping that someone could save him.

Seeing this scene, Ivan shook his head helplessly, sealed the bottle of the potion that had been boiled, and then walked to Snape and spoke.

"Professor, my moderator is ready, can you help me see it?"

Snape reluctantly let go of Harry, turned his head and picked up the demulcent that Ivan had handed, and looked at it carefully, then opened the lid and smelled it, and finally spit out a word slowly. "Not bad!"

Ivan was very pleased. As his Gryffindor student and Harry Potter friend, Snape's "nice" voice can be completely added to "very good".

This shows that his potion level has been affirmed by this potion master.

Harry on the side gave Ivan a grateful look.

But Ivan ignored it. He came to Snape for more than just relief for Harry.

"By the way, Professor Snape, do you know where President Dumbledore is?" Ivan asked curiously.

This morning, when he opened the map of the spot to check it, he unexpectedly discovered that Dumbledore was still not in the school, which was strange.

And the person most likely to know Dumbledore's whereabouts was Snape. As a double-faced undercover undercover from both sides, Snape must have a lot of secret information, and he must have an urgent way to contact Dumbledore.

"I need to remind you, Hals, it's class time..." Snape said coldly, putting the moderator in his hand on the podium, and then as if thinking of something, he looked to follow him. Ivan's tone softened a bit, and he spoke again.

"And I don't know the recent whereabouts of Principal Dumbledore, and I have rarely seen him in these two months... The last time was at the dinner yesterday, when you were there."

do not know?

Ivan looked at Snape suspiciously, unable to determine whether he was lying or not. With his current level of contemplation, he couldn't break Snape's Occlumency.

"What about the mysterious man? How is his recent experience?" Ivan looked around, and saw that everyone else was still concentrating on making potions, so he lowered his voice and asked.

Ever since Voldemort was beaten off last time, Ivan has always wanted to know whether his disguise is useful, and how much Voldemort believed.

"Thanks to you, he is still alive." Snape's gaze at Ivan became very strange, and it took a long time before he uttered this sentence.

Of course Voldemort is still alive and well, but his spirit is a bit abnormal...

Snape was very curious about what happened that night, so that after Voldemort returned ~www.mtlnovel.com~ he hid in a safe room suspicious all day, and he dared not go out for two months...

But Snape knew very well that it was not convenient for him to come into contact with Ivan this school year. After such a short time, a glance had already turned towards this side-Malfoy was staring at him very nervously.

Snape had to suppress the curiosity in his heart, his lips moved slightly, and he reminded him in a very light tone.

"Be careful in the near future, especially don't eat randomly..."

After that, Snape ignored Ivan's reaction, and walked past him with a blank face, sternly berating Neville who had accidentally overturned the cauldron.

Ivan's complexion remained unchanged, and he returned to his seat on his own. He picked up a few potion materials and put them in the cauldron to cook them, but he was recalling Snape's last words in his mind.

Don't eat indiscriminately?

Does it mean someone is preparing to poison themselves in food?

Ivan pondered for a while, then glanced around in the classroom, especially for Malfoy and the Slytherin students.

The parents of these people have joined the Death Eaters, and they all have the possibility of attacking themselves...

However, apart from them, others should not be taken lightly. After all, the black wizard with high magic can control anyone with the Imperius Curse.

Thinking of this, Ivan glanced at Snape again. The other party must have more information, but for some reason he was reluctant to tell him directly.

Is it because of some reasons that can't be said, or is it pure and mysterious?

Ivan touched his chin, feeling a little difficult. Snape kindly reminded himself that he couldn't get Snape up for questioning, right?

The two potions classes ended soon, and when they walked out of the potions class door, all the little wizards were relieved.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were discussing the upcoming O.W.L. exam and future career choices, while Ivan was still thinking about who was going to murder him.

"Ivan, Ron, Hermione, do you think about what you will do after graduation?" Harry looked at several people and asked curiously.

His knowledge of the magical world is limited to the years of study, so he can't determine which courses will be more important.

"Well, I haven't thought about it yet." Ron said slowly, "but I think the Auror is pretty cool..."

It's a pity that the requirements are too high...

Ron added silently in his heart that the NEWT exam is inherently difficult, and to apply for Auror, you need at least five relevant subjects to get O (perfect) or E (exceeding expectations). Only a few people can do it every year. Do it.

"Auror? I think it's nice to be a professor at Hogwarts, just like Lupin and Moody's." Harry said, and because of Fudge's successive brain-dead actions, he was not very good with the Ministry of Magic's senses. .

On the side, Hermione vowed to do something more meaningful after graduation.

"Meaningful things? Like liberating the house elves?!" Ron couldn't help but spit out.

"This is just one of the things! Ron, besides that, I still have a lot of things I want to do, such as prohibiting wizards from calling ordinary people who don't know how to do magic as Muggles. This is a very bad name... "Hermione said firmly.

In Hermione's view, the entire British magical world is full of medieval decadence, and laws and regulations are full of inequality and loopholes.

It is precisely because of this that these Death Eaters like Lucius can get away with it, and Voldemort's conspiracy will succeed time and time again.

Ron scratched his head and couldn't understand what Hermione was trying to express. Is there anything wrong with calling someone who doesn't know magic as a Muggle?

They have always called it that way.

And Hermione's other ideas were completely whimsical. Whether it was giving house elves preferential treatment, prohibiting slander, or changing the law, they were nothing short of fantasy.

"Who said it's impossible? As long as the Minister of Magic is willing to formulate corresponding regulations, these things can be avoided to a great extent." Hermione said confidently.

"So you really want to be Minister of Magic?" Harry looked at Hermione with a weird look. Hermione said that once last year, thinking that Hermione was just joking.

Ron also shook his head. The probability of a Muggle-born witch becoming Minister of Magic is almost zero.

Hermione ignored Harry and Ron who were pouring cold water, and continued to talk about her plan.

Although she is still far from this goal, she can start working hard from this academic year, such as applying for all subjects of the O.W.L. exam, and striving to get the highest evaluation.

Excellent grades and resume are the capital for promotion to Minister of Magic in the future...

Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed to hear that Hermione was preparing to take twelve exams at the same time this year.

Is this the Xueba? Can't afford to provoke, can't provoke...

"Ivan, are you going to take all the exams as I did this school year?" Hermione turned her head and looked at Ivan, who hadn't said anything, and asked.

"Yeun...Huh?" Ivan nodded subconsciously while thinking about it, and then realized what Hermione was saying.

"At that time, we will be more optimistic about the comparison!" Hermione said happily.

Ivan touched his nose, when did he agree?

But Ivan didn't say any more to refuse. After all, these exams were nothing to him. If it weren't for worrying about damaging Hermione's self-confidence, he would have no problem taking the N.E.W.T. exam now.

Hermione then looked at Harry and Ron again, asking if they wanted to participate together.

Ron shook his head frantically. For a self-aware scumbag like him, it is a blessing to be able to pass the O.W.L. exam in six to seven courses this school year.

Harry also hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, Ivan, you haven't said what you want to do in the future?"

"Me? After graduation, I bought a house big enough, built a magic research room, and studied magic every day..." Ivan hesitated for a while and said.

That's it? Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Ivan with weird eyes.

As the recipient of the Merlin Medal of the First Class, Hogwarts's greatest genius in history, after graduation, he plans to study magic at home and become an otaku.

This...it's so weird.

Hearing the weird gazes of several people, Ivan curled his lips and didn't mean to explain.

To be an Auror or a professor with his strength is completely overkill.

As for dominating the magic world? It seems to be meaningless.

If it weren't for being forced into helplessness, Ivan had never been interested in forming a force, and fighting with Voldemort was just to protect himself and his family and friends.

The thing he was most interested in was studying magic, especially after he learned the essence of magic from Nicole LeMay, his thoughts became deeper.

Change material, immortal, bring back to life...

The power of magic is unimaginable, and it is really fascinating!

...

The course on the first day of school was over soon. After walking out of the gate of the divination class, several people returned to the Gryffindor lounge together.

When they walked into the entrance, they happened to see George and Fred standing surreptitiously on the bulletin board.

"George, Fred, what are you doing?" Ivan stepped forward in confusion, and then found that George and Fred were using magic tape to put an advertisement on the bulletin board.

Hermione also saw this scene at this time, stopped them angrily, and said. "The bulletin board in the lounge is used by the prefect to issue emergency notices, but not for you to post advertisements."

"Let's use it for now, if there is an urgent notice, we will definitely tear him off..." George said with a smile.

It's a pity that Hermione doesn't eat this set, and she firmly doesn't allow them to use the bulletin board as a place to promote "products."

"Also, you are not allowed to sell truant candy, cheating quill pens that can automatically answer questions, and ecstasy in the school. This is a serious violation of order!" Hermione stared at the two.

"Don't be so pretentious, Hermione, everyone will want to have a little fun while studying!" Fred emphasized in a faith-like tone.

"Yes, yes, for example, we have newly developed Wonder Witch (Edifice). I think many wizards need this to enhance their charm..." George also nodded, then rolled his eyes and took it out of his pocket. A bottle of Wonder Witch was stuffed secretly into Hermione's hand and whispered.

"Think about it, if you sneak a drop of this in Ivan's drink, then he will love you to death..."

Hermione blushed with anger, and threw the Wonder Witch back in her hand. She didn't need this kind of thing.

Ivan was speechless. George's bribery seemed secret, but his body had been strengthened many times. Naturally, this little action could not hide from him.

"What are you doing in such a hurry to promote new products?" Ivan asked.

"Of course it is to earn more Jin Jialong. Fred and I are planning to open our own magic shop after graduation this school year. Now there is still a lot of money." George spread out helplessly.

"Do you need my help? Three thousand gallons, is it enough?" Ivan said a number casually.

"Three...three thousand gallons?!" George and Fred were startled, and took a breath. They had never seen so much money!

From the third grade, they made a gambling game and earned initial research expenses. Since they started to make magic items by themselves, their money was no more than 100 gallons when they had the most money. The other money was used to buy materials or support new ones. Research on the props.

Even sometimes I can't make ends meet...

Because of this, they are only preparing to distribute flyers and make money this year.

But even so, according to the two people's expectations, if you want to rent a cheap store in Diagon Alley and decorate it, you need at least Bakalong, and you have to sell it for several years before you can get it.

After all, they are now short of manpower and time is limited, and they cannot expand production at all.

"What? Three thousand gallons is not enough?" Ivan asked George and Fred in a daze for a long time, and asked again.

"No, no, it's too much!" George jumped up and said excitedly.

Three thousand gallons!

They originally only wanted to rent a remote location and have a venue, but with 3,000 gallons they can choose the most suitable location, and the decoration can be more complete, and more importantly, there is no need to worry about follow-up research Fund.

They felt excited just thinking about it, but it didn't take long for their enthusiasm to cool down.

George hesitated and said a little embarrassingly. "Ivan, you helped us a lot before, and we can no longer accept your help... and three thousand gallons are too much..."

Ivan stretched out his hand to stop George's subsequent words and explained. "Make no mistake, this is the kind of investment that needs to be repaid! How to say, I am very confident in the joke toy store you are going to open..."

George and Fred looked at each other, then nodded together. "Okay, yes, but profit..."

"I only accounted for three achievements. After all, the magic items you researched are the roots of the magic shop..." Ivan took the lead and said.

The Weasley joke toy store is George and Fred's dream and effort, and Ivan is not ready to seize it.

However, George and Fred felt that Ivan was too disadvantaged and firmly disagreed.

After some discussions, they unanimously decided to sell 40% of the Weasley joke shop to Ivan at a price of 1,500 gallons, and they would borrow the remaining 1,500 gallons.

Ivan couldn't hold back the two of them, so he simply agreed, and then the voice changed, reminding him. "Since you have the money, you have stopped posting flyers everywhere recently. The new Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor is not easy to deal with. If you are caught by her, it will be more than just confinement."

"That Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic? We are not afraid of her..." Fred said carelessly.

"And you are now the biggest shareholder of Weasley's joke toy store, can't you always help your girlfriend? You should be tough, Ivan, can't let her everything..." George ignored Hermione next to her. Angry eyes, spit out.

"No, it has nothing to do with Hermione, I'm just worried that you will cause trouble." Ivan sighed, looked at Fred and asked suddenly.

"What would you think if someone bought your Wonder Witch (ecstasy) and secretly dropped it in Angelina's drink? Fred?"

Fred followed Ivan's thoughts for a while, only to feel the green light flashing above his head, and he shivered suddenly.

"I have always been optimistic about Angelina." Fred said firmly.

"You can't stay by her side all the time." Ivan shook his head, "So, you still don't want to sell the ecstasy, it's too dangerous! If you have time recently, you might as well study more new products... and soon graduate If you are caught and expelled from school, it will be difficult to handle..."

Under Ivan's persuasion~www.mtlnovel.com~ George and Fred finally gave up the plan to sell dangerous goods, and happily planned their big plan.

After the two left, Hermione finally couldn't help it, "You shouldn't have promised them, Ivan, that's three thousand gallons..."

Ron nodded a bit in agreement. He was sluggish. He had never seen so much money.

"That's only three thousand gallons!" Ivan said indifferently. He can now sell hundreds of gallons for making an alchemy item. The Philosopher's Stone is like a money printing machine. This little money is for him. It's nothing.

What's more, George and Fred are very talented in making magic items. Although they are thinking about some crooked ideas, I have to say that these items are very popular with students.

Why not do a business that only makes money but not loses? He will not be short of money, he will not be too rich, and he can help his friends by the way...

Hermione was very helpless. Although she knew that Ivan was rich, she couldn't use it like that if she had money... Besides, if George and Fred were devoting themselves to the magic shop, they would definitely have passed the NEWT exam this year. Not anymore.

Saying goodbye to Hermione, Ivan, Harry, and Ron returned to the bedroom together.

As soon as I opened the door of the dormitory, Ivan saw Seamus and Neville sitting on the table by the window, staring at the large package placed there.

"What's the matter? Seamus?" Ivan stepped forward and asked casually.

"An owl sent a package just now. It's weird. No name is written on it. I don't know who it is for." Seamus replied.

Ivan frowned as he looked at the things placed on the table, thinking of Snape's reminder in the Potions class, and vaguely felt something was wrong.

"We are all here now, don't you know who it was sent to by opening it?" Ron was very curious, squeezing away Seamus who was stuck there, and he was about to reach out and grab it.

Ivan was distracted for a moment, and there was no time to remind him, just holding the wand pinned to his waist in his hand, ready to rescue at any time.

Ron opened the package easily.

The explosion and curse that Ivan expected did not happen, and no horrible, murderous dark creatures popped out of the package—there was a big bag of candies!

Zizi Bee Candy, Chocolate Frog, Bibi Duo Beans...

"There is even the latest licorice wand." Ron took out a box of brown wand-shaped candies from the package and said in surprise.

Last year, he saw at the Duke Bee Candy Store in Hogsmeade that the price of this new licorice wand is not low.

Seamus and Neville are also picking and choosing the sweets they like.

Ivan had no interest in candy, so he saw the slips of paper among the many candy boxes at a glance, and took it directly.

After unfolding and seeing the contents inside, Ivan was taken aback for a while.

"Careful... Snape?" Harry leaned close and read out the contents of the note.

"What are you talking about? Harry? Isn't this package from Snape?" Ron joked.

"I mean, this note says [Beware of Snape]!" Harry explained.

Ron and Seamus were both surprised, and Ivan passed the note in his hand when he saw it.

After reading the pass, everyone wondered who sent these candies and paper slips, and why they should be careful of Snape.

"Harry, is it a package from Sirius?" Ron asked suddenly.

"Impossible. If Sirius sends it, he will definitely write his name on it." Harry shook his head.

Now that Sirius has cleared his charge, he doesn't need to hide anymore, he can send it directly to him, so why make it so mysterious.

"Perhaps he wants to give you a surprise! Who else is there but him?" Ron shrugged.

In the third grade, Sirius once gave Harry and Ivan a Firebolt without a signature, which was very generous.

Moreover, Sirius and Snape had a deep conflict. They almost had a fight in the safe house before, and had the motivation to write this note.

Harry also became a little uncertain when he heard Ron say this.

It's impossible for someone to send them so many candies for no reason, right?

Such a large package would cost dozens of gallons.

Ivan directly ruled out Sirius' option, because he suspected that the person sending the package was uneasy and kind, and might even poison it.

The only idle Seamer did not participate in the discussion. While listening to several people, he opened a piece of chocolate frog and planned to put it in his mouth.

"Don't eat, Seamus!" Ivan was startled, and subconsciously snatched the chocolate frog in Seamus's hand, threw a handful of them on the ground, and waved his wand neatly.

Flaming flames)!"

A ray of flame flew out, and then directly exploded, burning the chocolate frog jumping high to ashes.

After that, Ivan did not relax at all, waved his magic wand to summon a stream of clear water to wash his left hand that had touched the chocolate frog, and finally looked at the status bar of the system.

Fortunately... Fortunately, no hits!

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was too cautious just now, and he should destroy everything as soon as he discovered that the package was not right.

In case this chocolate frog or that note was cursed viciously...

Ivan thought about Dumbledore's scorched right hand, and shuddered abruptly.

Be cautious...Be cautious!

Ivan secretly reminded himself to wake up, and when he turned his head, he found that Seamus was looking at him dumbfounded.

The gazes of Harry, Ron, and Neville on the side were also very strange.

"Ahem, I think this thing may have been sent by a mysterious person or a Death Eater." Ivan coughed slightly, concealing the embarrassment that had arisen in his heart, and continued without change in his expression.

"Don't forget that the mysterious man always wanted to murder Harry. He didn't succeed in the cemetery last school year. Maybe he would use some poisoning methods in private."

Ivan didn't give Snape's warning out, but threw the pot over Harry's head.

After all, he couldn't explain why Voldemort wanted to target himself so deliberately.

It's hard to say that he beat Voldemort two months ago, so the other party hates him very much now, can he do everything?

"Can you make a mistake, Ivan."

Listening to Ivan's explanation, Seamus twitched the corners of his mouth, and the mysterious man sent Harry a large bag of candies and poisoned it by the way?

This is too nonsense...

Harry also didn't quite believe that if the person sending the package was going to poison them, how could he deliberately remind them to be careful of Snape?

"That might be a way to confuse us, or be careful," Ivan said very strongly, and then decisively waved his magic wand to gather the scattered candies back into the package, and then burned everything to ashes.

Harry and Seamus glanced at each other and looked at each other speechlessly. They very much suspected that Ivan was suffering from persecution delusion.

Ron was staring at the ashes blown away by the wind on the table. It was a pity that he didn't have time to eat so many snacks.

"If you want to eat~www.mtlnovel.com~ I will go to Honey Duke's shop tomorrow and buy some back for you..." Why couldn't I see Ron's thoughts, Ivan shook his head helplessly.

But soon Ivan suddenly thought of another question.

What if the owner of the Honey Duke's shop gets an Imperius curse?

The other party deliberately sent a large bag of candies over, does it just want to seduce oneself to find clues there?

Ivan suddenly fell into contemplation, and finally decided to be more cautious tomorrow, pretend to go to the honey candy store, and then Apparate from Hogsmeade Village to Knock Down Alley to buy, so it should be no problem...

Thinking of this, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the note floating in mid-air.

Snape just reminded himself in the morning to be careful in Hogwarts, he must eat indiscriminately, and someone sent him a package when he turned around, and he deliberately asked himself to be careful of Snape...

This is really...interesting!

A week passed in a flash, but Ivan's search for clues did not make any progress.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to maintain the mind for a long time, investigating every little wizard who entered and exited at the entrance of the hall.

But the result of the perception is that everyone around him does not have too deep malice towards him.

At least far enough to poison yourself.

Even Umbridge, who has the worst attitude towards him, is limited to cursing in his heart, and has not made a plan to murder himself in the near future.

This made Ivan feel very strange. His contemplative mind had risen to the seventh level. Except for Snape, who had perfected Occlumency in the entire school, no one should be able to avoid his own perception.

Could it be that the threat came from outside the school, or which house elf was controlled by the Imperius Curse?

Or was it the same as it was written on that note, it was Snape who really needed to be careful, shouldn't he believe what he said?

After excluding many options, Ivan had to temporarily put the matter of tracing the murderer aside.

After all, there is no way to find out.

The person who sent him the package did not do anything during this week, and no little wizard in the school died of poison while enjoying a meal in the auditorium.

This shows that there is no problem with the food you usually eat.

In view of this, Ivan had to devote most of his energy to the practice of enchanting magic and the making of alchemy devices.

After a whole week of hard work, Ivan successfully reduced the preparation time for enchanting magic to less than one second. Although there was no actual combat drill, how much combat power he could display was still a question mark, but it was definitely more than enough to run the alchemy formation.

It's much more difficult to make alchemy armguards. I have failed twice in a row. However, Ivan did not expect to make such a difficult alchemy item successfully. After the next batch of materials is delivered, I will practice a few more times. Up.

What really troubled Ivan was that Dumbledore hadn't been seen since the first week of school.

At least he couldn't see his name on the map of the live spot, as if Dumbledore was deliberately avoiding himself, but Ivan couldn't think of Dumbledore's reason for doing this.

Because of this, the plan to find the magic power storage room was at a deadlock. Ivan had to abandon the illusion and support himself, and spare some spare time every day to go to the Hogwarts library to search for words related to the establishment of the school.

It is worth mentioning that the mysterious appearance of Ivan God has attracted Hermione's attention in the past few days.

Under various questions from the little witch, Ivan, who was so annoyed that he couldn't help it, revealed some information, saying that he was looking for a magic power storage room and was going to use the abundant magic power there to make a magic item.

Naturally, Hermione joined in without saying a word, and helped to find the information together.

Considering that one more person has more power, the little witch also pulled Harry and Ron who were idle together.

The two sat in the library groaning and complaining constantly, but they still looked at the books honestly, greatly speeding up the process of screening materials.

Just three days later, Hermione, who kept flipping through the book, suddenly showed a look of joy, turned her head to look at Ivan, and said happily. "I found a clue, Ivan!"

"What? Do you know where the magic storage room is?" Ivan said with a sullen expression and hurriedly asked.

"No, but I think someone might know..." Hermione shook her head and passed the book in her hand. "Ms. Gray, Phantom! "A History of Hogwarts" says that she is the daughter of one of the four founders, Rowena Ravenclaw, and she must know the castle very well."

"Ms. Gray--Helena Ravenclaw, yes, why didn't I think of her before." Ivan murmured.

As a ghost that existed when the school was founded, the other party may know more secrets than the principal Dumbledore.

If there really is a magic storehouse in Hogwarts, she would definitely know it!

Thinking of this, Ivan was very excited, hugged Hermione, and kissed her face several times. "You are amazing, Hermione!"

The little witch blushed, and just as she was about to say something, a rebuke reached the ears of the two of them.

"Quiet! This is the library, you interrupted other people's reading."

Ivan turned his head when he heard the sound, and found that the librarian Mrs. Pince was staring at them with dissatisfaction.

Not only that, but the yell I made just now attracted the attention of most of the students in the library. Obviously they all saw the appearance of kissing Hermione just now.

Realizing this, Ivan's expression was very embarrassed, and he didn't dare to stay here for a while, and quickly pulled Hermione away dingy.

All the way out of the library door, Hermione also slowed down and asked.

"Ms. Gray Ghost usually only wanders in the Ravenclaw Tower. How are you going to get in there?"

"I saw in "A History of Hogwarts" that for nearly a thousand years, no one except Ravenclaw could answer the questions asked by the bronze door knocker..."

Hermione talked endlessly about the information she had read in the book.

Ivan's face darkened, and Hermione's words reminded him of the problem that the door knocker gave him in front of the Ravenclaw Tower.

[What is the nature of magic? ]

Is this really something a minor wizard can answer?

I am afraid that even Dumbledore and Voldemort may not know the answer.

Ivan was complaining about the double-labeled bronze eagle in his heart. When he was squatting at the door in the form of Animagus in his second year, he also met a few Ravenclaws. At that time, the bronze eagle mentioned some brains. Sharp turns, or logical thinking problems.

The only thing that is very harsh on myself, it is estimated that it is because of the students of the foreign school, so the difficulty of the question has risen sharply, no wonder that no one can answer it for a thousand years.

But he doesn't need to answer the question~www.mtlnovel.com~ Don't worry, I can fly in from the window in the form of Animagus, and I don't need to answer the question..." Ivan said with a smile.

Hermione nodded hesitantly. After the Goblet of Fire last school year, she had seen Ivan's Animagus form. It was an eagle, but it looked quite big, with a wingspan of more than three meters. I don't know. Can you squeeze in through the window?

In fact, the easiest way to enter the tower is to let a Ravenclaw student bring it in. However, Ivan repeatedly ordered them to keep it secret, and I must not want to let others know...

Just as Hermione thought, Ivan didn't want everyone to know about finding the magic storage room by himself.

So after learning that Helena had a high probability of knowing the location of the magic storage room, Ivan didn't mean to act immediately, and planned to wait until late at night when everyone was sleeping before going to Helena to chat alone.

Not to mention, there will be two annoying Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons in the future,

Ivan only hopes that Umbridge can rest a little bit today, and don't mess with him...
