Chapter 332: Ivan's Recovery Time

"The secret key to the Gryffindor treasure?" Harry was surprised.

"We all know that the object you left in the Centaur colony has strong magical power, which can help us improve our magical power. Sirius and Professor Lupin, with the help of that thing, made the Marauder's Map." Ron nodded his head and said, "Think about it, Harry! If we get more magical power, we won't have to worry about the upcoming exams. Hermione and Ivan, they can use that thing, too..."

"No, Ron!" Hermione interrupted him and snapped, "That's cheating - that can't be done, absolutely not!"

"What is it that can't be done? With the help of the Slytherin locket, Ivan's magic has increased dramatically." Ron whispered, "I didn't hear you say anything about that..."

"This isn't the same, Ivan was already very powerful, he can control such sudden bursts of magical power, but we're not the same." Hermione looked at Ron and said, "Besides, he can pass the exam without relying on any magical objects to cheat."

"But...," Ron said.

"Don't bother thinking about it!" Ivan interjected, "Sirius just told me that we should go to the centaur colony after all the exams, he also needs time to prepare for the T.I.M.O exams for all the classes."

"Yes, I saw him discuss it in his correspondence with Professor Lupin earlier," Harry said. "Sirius wants to test our combat skills on the grade exam. He's been very busy lately and it looks like he wants to use some dark creatures."

"I'll help the three of you make a study schedule. If we start now, everything will be on time." Hermione pointed to a scroll with her wand.

She began with Ivan, Harry, and Ron's lessons, as well as specific review arrangements.

"Okay!" Ron said frustrated, "I just made a suggestion. Since Sirius didn't get the article, we wouldn't get it either."

"No one knows what will happen without trying." Ivan whispered as his eyes sparkled.

Truth be told, after watching Slytherin practice in the deep ruins of the earth, I was looking forward to the magic left behind by Gryffindor. He wanted to see what the great wizard, who was as famous as Salazar Slytherin, would have prepared for them.

"You know, that's probably easier said than done." Ron looked at Hermione making a revision plan, and whispered, "Since all four of us are Gryffindor house students, in theory, there's a chance of getting that item."

"That's obvious!" and added, "The Sorting Hat inherited some of the thoughts of the Founding Four and can see the innate qualities of young wizards. When it sorted us into Gryffindor House, it meant that all four of us were recognized by Gryffindor, so the object it left behind..."

That afternoon, Ron continued to talk about it.

You could tell he was very concerned about the Secret Treasure Key left behind by Gryffindor, hoping to increase his strength as quickly and easily as Ivan.

In fact, not only Ron, but also Ivan, Harry and Hermione were very concerned about the Gryffindor Treasure Key, and the rest of their conversion focused on that topic.

It was more tantalizing than an adventure full of danger and uncertainty.

They had fulfilled the requirements of the centaurs, and now it was time to reap the rewards.

...

After that day, Harry, Ron and Hermione came to the school hospital every afternoon. With Ivan, they discussed and reviewed the contents of the exam.

Hermione lent her study notes from last year to Ivan, who analyzed in detail the important contents of the second-year course and possible test points. That helped him a lot.

Last year, because of the Basilisk, the school canceled the school year exam. Naturally, these notes were not used.

Ivan was confident that, with Hermione's notes and his own quick learning abilities, he would be at the top of his class and leave a record score that should be hard to beat.

As time passed, the school hospital returned to calm, but news of Ivan and Malfoy's injuries spread quickly throughout Hogwarts.

This event replaced the recently completed Quidditch Finals and became the hottest topic.

That afternoon, Goyle and Crabbe, riding the Hippogriff, Buckbeak, panicked and flew back to the school to call for help, and were seen by many people.

Everyone was very curious, wondering what was going on deep underground.

No matter the relationship with Ivan, it was always simple. Were their opponents just Acromantulas this time? Or were there more horrible monsters?

Rumors and gossip spread quickly around the castle, especially after learning that Ivan had saved Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe. Malfoy, in addition to having been bitten by a spider, had also been affected by dark magic, and had now been sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Ailments and Injuries. All the young wizards' interests were raised to the highest level.

It was common sense that Acromantulas were fierce and powerful, but they should never be able to do black magic!

There must be more evil creatures inside that cave. Most people thought that Ivan had defeated his opponent, which made him once again go through an incredible adventure.

Under these circumstances, everyone rushed to the school hospital to see Ivan, and the rehabilitation cards came flying in like snowflakes. Many girls hoped that he would recover soon.

Because there were so many people coming to visit Ivan, the normal operation of the school hospital was affected, and Madam Pomfrey had to keep them all out.

In the end, not even Harry, Ron and Hermione could get in.

Everyone who wanted to visit Ivan had to get handwritten approval from a teacher.

Ivan never thought he would be so popular.

He now enjoyed the same treatment as the books in the restricted section of the Library.

Sirius prepared a stack of notes for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. In addition to them, Ivan also saw Hagrid, Colin, Ginny, Luna, and Cho Chang.

He did not expect to see Cho Chang. She got approval from Professor Flitwick and sat alone with him all morning when he didn't have class.

It was very boring to be alone in the room, so having a pretty girl to keep him company was nice. Ivan naturally welcomed everyone who came.

That morning, they talked a lot, and got to know each other better....
