Chapter 288: You Can Always Surprise Me Differently

Has she always been like this? Hermione looked at Luna's distant back and couldn't help but speak.

"yes, she's a little weird, always has been." Ivan nodded.

Hermione pursed her lips, she actually wanted to ask Ivan more than what happened to Luna during the summer vacation, did someone close to her die?

However, Hermione was also a little worried, and she boldly asked if it would remind Ivan of something sad.

While Hermione hesitated, Harry and Ron saw that they were slow to move, so they took the initiative to come over.

"Harry, are you alright?" Ivan looked at Harry and asked.

Harry, who had not long woken up, was still a little pale, and he complained and complained. "It feels terrible..."

Professor Lupin had taken him to the hospital on a special basis, and Madam Pomfrey had to give him a full body check-up, as if the Dementors had just leaned on him closer, and he was seriously ill.

"I guess there's someone on the train who is going to be in the same way as me, right?" Harry said with a smirk, and after seeing that everyone was silent, he said something in a weak heart. "Isn't there even one?"

"Come on, Harry, everyone knows you've been attacked by Dementors, so that's not a big deal." Ron patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

But I wasn't attacked...

Harry thought to himself, a little depressed, wondering why he was the only one who had passed out.

He remembered very well that the Dementors hadn't even touched him.

Harry didn't want to admit that he was too timid, but there seemed to be no other explanation.

Ivan saw Harry's thoughts and spoke up. "Dementors affect each person differently, and the more painful a person has been through the past, the more they will be affected."

"But there's a way to keep me unaffected, isn't there? I've heard Ron say that you cast a spell to drive away dozens of Dementors! Harry said with some excitement, having a hard time accepting that he would faint from the Dementors.

"That's the Patronus Charm, remember? When we were in our first year, we saw a blue and white phoenix in the Great Hall, and that was Dumbledore's Patronus! Ivan explained.

"Of course I do, and that's how you used that magic to defeat Chino!" Harry quickly remembered.

"Can you teach me? Ivan? Harry asked apprehensively, a little worried about whether Ivan would teach himself, after all, it was supposed to be very powerful magic.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I probably haven't had much time lately." Ivan groaned, he felt that he had to take more than a dozen courses at the same time, accumulate academic points, and still need to complete the improvement of potions as soon as possible, and he should not have time to teach Harry.

Harry was a little disappointed, but Ivan was quick to tell him that he could learn from Lupin.

Although the Guardian of the Gods is a high-level spell, it is not a very difficult magic to learn, and it can be mastered if you are willing to use it with the time.

Chatting all the way into the Great Hall, Ivan noticed that they had arrived a little late, the long tables of the four colleges were already full, the Sorting Hat had just stopped its new song, and Professor McGonagall, who was holding the Sorting Hat, was standing on the stage.

A few people didn't dare to slack off, and while Professor McGonagall didn't notice them, they hurriedly found an empty seat and sat down.

"You're amazing today, Ivan!" As soon as Ivan sat down, George came up and said excitedly.

Fred echoed in.

"yes, we've all seen you chase away those pesky Dementors on the train, and I bet a lot of adult wizards can't do that. By the way, what is your Patronus? A white horse? It was beautiful, but unfortunately we didn't see it clearly. ”

"Hmm.. Pretty much. Ivan said vaguely, if he could, he didn't want others to know about the peculiarity of his patronus.

In addition to George and Fred, the little lions at the Gryffindor table also cast their eyes, Ivan's fame is too great, and he was in the limelight not long ago, so many people are talking about the scene on the train in private.

Their voices grew louder and louder, until Professor McGonagall, who was on stage in the middle of the Sorting House, turned his head to stare at them, and the young wizards stopped.

The sorting ceremony ended quickly.

As the last freshman walked down the steps, there was a round of applause in the auditorium, and they couldn't wait for dinner.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood up and walked to the front of the stage, he looked around at every student in the Great Hall, and gave a welcome speech.

Immediately before the young wizards in the audience complained, Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued.

"I have a very important thing to remind you before you eat a delicious meal and your minds get muddy."

"Our school is currently welcoming a number of Dementors from Azkaban, sent by the Ministry of Magic on official duty, as you all already know, as they searched the Hogwarts Express..."

With that, Dumbledore looked at Ivan, who had already heard what was happening on the train.

As he thought before, every time he met Ivan, he always brought him a different surprise... Or is it troublesome?

Ivan was also watching Dumbledore, remembering that Sirius had told him that his father had been a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and judging by Sirius's tacit attitude when he inquired, it was likely that his father's death was related to the old professor.

Ivan felt like he was in a fog,

What role did Dumbledore play in this? Why did Althea hate Dumbledore so much?

If she really hated him, what did Althea send him to Hogwarts for?

Countless questions hung over Ivan's heart,

The two looked at each other in mid-air, Dumbledore nodded slightly, but Ivan turned on the Occlumency technique for the first time and looked away.

Even if Ivan didn't feel any signs of brain invasion, he was used to it.

Dumbledore's gaze didn't linger on Ivan for long, and quickly retracted it. His expression turned serious, and his tone was something that anyone who heard it would take to heart.

"These Dementors will be at every entrance to the school, I have to warn you. No one is allowed to leave the school without permission while they are there. No amount of trickery, tricks, or disguises can fool the Dementors - not even the Cloak of Invisibility! ”

"Be careful not to clash with the Dementors of any kind! They are very dangerous, and there are quite a few of them, and they are not something that a young wizard who has learned to call the gods to protect can deal with! ”

Dumbledore looked around at the crowd and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that they were sitting on their knees, listening to what they had just said.

He deliberately did not mention Ivan's feat on the train, nor did he give Ivan points for "heroically saving" the Dementors. I just don't want people to think it's something to encourage and imitate.

Although what Ivan had done before was dangerous, it was a special case, and those little wizards couldn't find a target if they wanted to imitate it.

This time it's different, there really are a lot of Dementors in the school...
