Facing an angry Harry, Ivan calmly explained.

"Harry! Tumbledown Alley is a very dangerous place, as you just saw.

The person I transformed into is not very old and has no deterrent power, and if I take you like this, it is easy to be targeted, so it is better to be fierce and pretend to be a bad person. ”

"Is that so?" Harry asked, incredulous.

"Of course," Ivan said with an oath.

Harry vaguely felt that Ivan was fooling himself, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"By the way, Harry, how did you end up in Tumbledown Alley?" Ivan hurriedly changed the subject.

Harry, of course, didn't mean to hide it, and told him that he had accidentally choked on soot and mispronounced the word when he was using Floo powder.

Ivan nodded, it didn't look like it was the same as in the original book, but he didn't know why he didn't meet Hagrid this time.

However, after thinking about it, Ivan realized that Hagrid met Harry because he happened to be shopping in Tumbledown Alley, and the two sides would diverge in their course of action if the time was slightly wrong, which may have caused some butterfly effect caused by the letter he sent to George and Fred.

Fortunately, Harry was lucky enough to meet him, otherwise, the savior of the wizarding world might have really cooled.

Harry had a myriad of questions in his mind, such as what Ivan was doing in Tumbledown Alley and why he was the way he did.

As the two walked along, Harry spoke out all the questions in his heart.

"Why?" Ivan paused in his footsteps, then spoke to Harry.

"Because my house is in Tumbledown Alley! I came out this time to buy books for the next school year, and it was too young to be safe, so I had to use a polyjuice decoction to make myself look a little more intimidating. ”

"You live in such a dangerous place? Why not move somewhere else? Harry looked at Ivan in surprise, he couldn't understand how Ivan could live in such a place.

He had only been in it for a short time just now, but even then he had already experienced the indifference and danger of Tumbling Alley, and he was almost dragged away by someone on the street, so he had some psychological shadows for Tumbling Alley.

"Of course it's because of poverty!" Ivan rolled his eyes and said that if he had earned enough gold gallons, the ghost would want to stay there.

Harry was silent for a moment, and looked at Ivan with a little more pity in his eyes.

Until then, Harry had always thought that living in his uncle's house was the worst thing in the world.

But after seeing these people in Tumbledown Alley, Harry suddenly felt that his living environment might not be too bad, at least there would be no one trying to kidnap him, and he didn't need to be like Ivan, who had to be someone else when he traveled.

Remembering that he and his parents had left a large inheritance, Harry hesitated to use it to help his best friends, perhaps by lending them first.

When Harry made up his mind to ask, Ivan shook his head amusefully and refused, then looked at Harry and spoke.

"Didn't you read the Daily Prophet? I've made a new potion, it's selling well, and I'm going to flood my house with orders for today, and it won't be long before I'll be able to move out. ”

Harry nodded, remembering that Mr. Weasley had been stunned when he had read the Daily Prophet in the morning, and handed it to everyone.

Harry also saw the contents of the newspaper, and the front page showed a photo of Ivan and the Minister of Magic, which stated that Ivan had made a significant contribution to the wizarding world by inventing a potion that could heal werewolves.

Unfortunately, Harry didn't know much about the wizarding world, and didn't quite understand the value of this potion.

However, he heard George and Fred say that Ivan would definitely get something called the Merlin Medal, and Mrs. Weasley thought it was unlikely, because Ivan was too young to ever get a Merlin Medal at this grade before.

The three of them argued for hours, almost delaying their time in Diagon Alley!

Along the way, Harry made his way in the direction of the Blotted Bookstore, telling Ivan interesting story about his time in the Burrow, and finally asked curiously.

"What is the Order of Merlin? I think everyone cares. ”

"It's a symbolic thing, it's not very useful!" Ivan said casually perfunctorily, he thought that this thing had gold gallons, but it didn't turn out at all.

Harry didn't believe it, because Mr. Weasley was very envious when he talked about the Merlin Medal, and Percy was even more jealous, threatening that he would definitely get it in a few years.

"Ivan... Harry! ”

Just as the two of them walked to Gringotts, they were surprised to see a little shaggy witch greeting them in front of them.

"Hermione!" Ivan shifted his course, and the little witch ran down the steps where she was standing, and hugged him a little, before breaking free and chattering non-stop.

"I've written you a lot of letters all summer, but I don't know where you live, I wrote to Harry, I wanted to ask him, but he didn't reply at all."

Speaking of this, Hermione was also a little angry, because Ivan hadn't sent her a letter all summer, and Harry hadn't either, and she had clearly told her where her family lived.

Harry hurriedly explained that Dobby had intercepted the envelope.

Ivan was speechless, there were so many things that happened during his summer vacation, he couldn't stop all day, or he was addicted to alchemy and couldn't extricate himself, so he completely forgot about this mess.

But seeing Hermione's angry appearance, Ivan had to use his brain to think of a reason, but fortunately, the Weasleys who were looking for Harry rushed over at this time and diverted Hermione's attention.

"Harry, where were you teleported to?" Mr. Weasley gasped. "We haven't found you for a long time just now, and Molly is crazy!"

George, Ron, Fred and others who came over noticed Ivan on the side and greeted him happily.

Harry also took advantage of this time to stray himself into Tumbledown Alley, and was almost dragged away, and was finally rescued by Ivan.

In particular, it is important to mention that Ivan knocked down the hateful old witch at once, so frightened that the other party could only flee in embarrassment.

"That's cool! It's you! George looked at Ivan and couldn't help but speak, he thought it must be a wonderful adventure.

Fred also wanted to experience this thrill, so he said to Ivan.

"We've always wanted to go to Tumbledown Alley, but unfortunately Mom never let us get close there, can we go to your house to play then?"
