"You've been hiding 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." Looking at Seamus's excited appearance, Ivan shook his head helplessly.

I wouldn't have said so much if I had known, he still had some important things to do tonight.

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

Fortunately, at this moment, Ron, who had finished guiding the new students, walked in through the door and relieved Ivan.

After all, Ron loves storytelling the most......

Finally freed from Seamus's entanglement, Ivan walked to the bed to arrange the suitcase, and then leaned on the head of the bed to open the map of the living spots.

"I solemnly swear that I have not done anything good!"

With a flick of Ivan's wand, delicate lines of ink emerged on the blank parchment, gradually outlining the entire castle.

"Well, Dumbledore is in the office." Ivan searched around the map and quickly determined Dumbledore's location. When he jumped out of bed, he was about to go to the Headmaster's office and ask where the Hogwarts magical storage room was.

The scarcity of magic is his biggest weakness now, and if he can solve it, he will no longer have to hide when he sees Voldemort again, and he can completely rely on bloodline magic to fight the other party head-on......

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

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

Ivan was forced to stop and glance at the map of the living spots, and Dumbledore's name was nowhere to be seen.

If it weren't for the deliberate use of magic to mask the name, as was the case last school year, it would prove that Dumbledore had left the school through the Phoenix.

"Are you out? The big night? What's so urgent? Ivan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.

Dumbledore was very rare late for the opening ceremony before, and he didn't stop after the dinner, as if he was in a hurry to do something.

This made Ivan feel that something was wrong, and Dumbledore was in a slightly better shape, completely different from what he expected.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party still used his left hand when casting spells, and he saw Dumbledore's name on the map just now, he would have wondered if it was Dumbledore himself.

"Forget it, let's ask again tomorrow, it's not bad for a day or two." Ivan waited for a long time with the map of the living point and did not see Dumbledore return, so he had to give up the idea of asking about the magic storage room for a while, and instead took out the two books that Nicol Lemay had given him and read them.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Ivan yawned and got out of bed, washed up, and walked out of the bedroom with Harry, Ron, and the others.

When they arrived at the break room, they saw Hermione standing on the bulletin board and angrily tearing off a piece of parchment from it.

"What is written on it? Hermione? Ivan stepped forward curiously and asked.

"See for yourself!" Hermione handed the parchment over.

At first, Ivan thought it was Umbridge doing something, but after taking a look, 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 was openly recruiting experimenters and staff at the end......

"Quick-acting skipping candy, quill snatching, bait bombs, and even a portable swamp...... How can they sell these things, it's so damning! They weren't so bold last year, because Percy would definitely stop them! ”

Hermione was trembling with anger, she thought that George and Fred must have thought that she and Ron were prefects this year, and they would be so merciful to their men, so they posted the ad directly on the bulletin board in the break room.

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

He thought about Hermione's appearance of holding a copy of "How Prefects Gain Power" all day long, and commanding people with arrogance, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Of course I don't want to be Percy'......" Hermione said with a roll of her eyes. But what they should know that fifth graders have to cope with this year. L. exam, seven-year students also have to take the exam. Certificates, don't have time to spend time on fun! ”

"You'll help me, won? Ivan ......" Hermione turned her head to Ivan and pleaded, knowing full well that she couldn't stop George and Fred.

"Okay, I'll talk to them when I have time and let them restrain a little." Ivan nodded in agreement.

Because he saw an aphrodisiac called [Wonder Witch] in the product list, selling this kind of potion that affects the mind is indeed a little too much, and it is easy to get into trouble.

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

"A little more convergent?" Hermione pursed her lips a little unhappily.

"Okay, don't worry so much about this, let's go to dinner......" Ivan didn't compromise this time, threw the ad aside, kissed Hermione on the cheek very suddenly, and then took her hand and walked towards the Great Hall without waiting for her to react.

Hermione's face flushed, and for a moment she forgot about the trouble with George and Fred, although it wasn't the first time Ivan had kissed her, but now Harry and Ron were still there.

Several people walked into the foyer together, and the students they met along the way had polarized attitudes, some greeted them warmly, and the rest of the students hid from afar, as if they were the plague.

Ivan knew what was going on, of course, and the little wizards who were hiding from him should have believed the words of the Daily Prophet, or they had been ordered by their family members to stay away from the source of their troubles during the summer vacation.

Those who are still willing to believe him now are probably the supporters who worship him.

Harry was also keenly aware of the deliberate avoidance of some people, and immediately became a little frustrated, he couldn't understand why so many people would want to believe the madness of the Ministry of Magic.

"Because of the power of public opinion, of course!" Ivan explained. "The Ministry of Magic can be compared to a Muggle government, which is authoritative in itself, as long as what they say is not too outrageous, most people will choose to believe it, plus the information bombardment of the Daily Prophet, there are even more people who believe it!"

Ivan knows very well how easy it is for officials to manipulate public opinion and reverse black and white, even a bag of laundry detergent can be said to be a biological weapon, and whether Voldemort is dead or alive is not a matter of their words.

"That's right! Those wizards can only see what the Ministry of Magic wants them to see, if only another influential newspaper was willing to report the truth......" Hermione would also recover from her previous embarrassment, and talked eloquently, then paused again, and said regretfully.

"Even Lavender believes the words of the Daily Prophet."

"Don't worry, I'll convince her, it just takes a little time!" Ron patted his chest and swore that his relationship with Lavender had grown by leaps and bounds since last school's prom, and within days they had become boyfriend and girlfriend.

While chatting, Ivan and the others quickly sat down at the long table in Gryffindor, enjoyed today's breakfast, and then hurried to the classroom of the history of magic class.

Ghost Professor Binns, as usual, didn't care much about the order of the class, and read the whole thing from the script, dragging his voice to talk about the topic of the Giant War for more than an hour.

The boring history of magic made everyone in the audience drowsy, and only Hermione listened carefully and took several pages of notes.

Ivan picked a remote spot before the class and took out the Book of Hieroglyphs to look through.

Idle last night, he had already roughly flipped through the two books that Nicol Lemay had given him.

Another book, the Jewish Book of Abraham, contains a lot of advanced alchemical knowledge, and even the method of making the Philosopher's Stone was excavated by Nicol Lemay.

However, the entire text of the book is written in a mixture of Latin, Arabic, Chaldeic and Syriac, and he could not understand it without translation.

And Ivan thinks that it is this "Book of Hieroglyphs" that has helped him the most in a short period of time.

After all, this is Nicol Lemay's research notes, and the knowledge is all combed and very concise and easy to understand.

In addition, there are hundreds of different magic scripts and thousands of magic scripts, as well as ways to use magic stones!

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

This page depicts a strange armguard-like contraption with a groove in the center inlaid with a bright red irregular stone.

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

After studying the following description, Ivan quickly understood the purpose of the device.

Generally speaking, if you want to use the huge magic power in the magic stone, you must arrange the alchemy circle, which is somewhat inconvenient when fighting, and the enemy will not give you time to prepare in the encounter.

Therefore, this arm guard developed by Nicol Lemay is very important, it is equivalent to a magic channeling device, which can easily retrieve the magic stored in the Philosopher's Stone and use it to release magic.

This is probably what Nicol Lemay said, a trick to get plenty of magic 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 following lesson, Ivan found a method for using alchemy circles to convert matter and the recipe for the elixir of immortality in the book "Book of Hieroglyphs......

Ivan was very excited, it was okay to turn stones into gold, it was easy to make money with his current level of alchemy, but immortality was different.

This is the ultimate dream of most people.

Especially this is still a quality of immortality, after all, the effect of the potion also has the effect of delaying aging.

As for Nicol Lemay's perennial old look, there is actually a reason.

One is that taking too much potion greatly reduces the effect of potions on aging.

Second, Nicol Lemay spent more than twenty years just analyzing and making the Philosopher's Stone, and by the time he took the elixir of immortality, he was already fifty or sixty years old, and unless he underwent magical transformation, he would not be able to spend these six hundred years with a relatively young body.

This has to be said to be a pity!

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

Thinking like this, Ivan couldn't help but feel a little excited, but quickly forcibly suppressed these emotions.

Steady, steady...... Take it easy!

Now is not the time to be distracted from studying these alchemy circles......

Ivan forced his gaze to take his eyes off these alchemy circles and turn back to the alchemy device that channeled magical power, which was something that needed to be studied in the near future.

[Ding, after the unremitting efforts of the host, the history of magic class has ended, please keep up the good work.

This comprehensive comprehensive class evaluation: low

Reviewer: Binns Cuthbert

Reward: Academic grade points*2

.......】

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

Ivan was stunned, and then realized that the history of magic class had ended, and Professor Binns on the podium floated out the door, looking at him before leaving.

Obviously, this ghost professor, who looked a little old and confused, still found out that he didn't pay attention to the lecture.

But that's right, it's rare that he didn't stand up and answer the question, and it's strange if he can't find it.

Ivan touched his nose, it seems that he will have to pay attention to it in the future, and it is still very important that academic grade points can greatly improve his learning efficiency.

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

"Ivan, why were you so distracted in class today?" Hermione quickly followed, and asked in a strange voice,

When Professor Binns asked a question today, Ivan didn't even fight with her, which made Hermin, who was used to it, very uncomfortable.

"I'm just working on a very important alchemy topic, and I'm a little too engrossed...... Besides, I've read this part of the history of the War of the Giants in a book a long time ago, so it doesn't matter if I listen to the lecture or not. Ivan said with a smile.

Seeing that Ivan said it easily, Harry and Ron on the side were very envious.

Professor Binns had been so bored that the two of them listened drowsily, played a game of the lesson, and now could only beg Hermione to lend them the notes from the History of Magic class for their next exam......
