Chapter Twenty-Nine: Hero Hals (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The great white wizard didn't seem to see anything wrong with Ivan's words, and after hearing that Ivan had used the Iron Thorn he "coincidentally" carried with the Transfiguration Charm to complete a Jedi counterkill in ten seconds, Dumbledore clapped his hands and clapped his hands, and his expression did not hide his appreciation.
"A good fight! You're better than I thought you would, I think Severus was right, Hogwarts has one more genius! Dumbledore sighed.
A young wizard who has only been in school for a few months has not seen such a good little wizard in decades after being able to be calm and calm when facing a troll for the first time, and skillfully using what he has to defeat it easily.
Being praised by Dumbledore for a while, Ivan was a little uncomfortable, after all, this meant that he was being targeted by the old professor, which was not a good thing.
The conversation that followed was more and more relaxed, without the intrigue temptation or-for-tat suspicion that Ivan had imagined, except for the initial dementorship, Dumbledore was kind like an old man next door chattering about homely things.
This made Ivan maliciously wonder if Dumbledore was demented?
However, in the course of the conversation, Dumbledore inadvertently mentioned Ivan's mother, Aisya Hals, which made Ivan somewhat interested.
"Professor, do you know my mother?" Ivan pretended to be curious.
"Yes, your mother was very impressive when she went to school here." Dumbledore winked at Ivan and gestured. "No matter what it is.."
Dumbledore's half-spoken behavior made Ivan very painful, he didn't know if it was because of his lack of information, or maybe it was simply a communication method between smart people who understood in seconds...
But he really doesn't understand!
Ivan had no choice but to squeeze out an embarrassed but polite smile...
In the end, under Ivan's side knocking, he only got information about his mother's attendance at Slytherin House, and Ivan didn't ask about his father, because there was no relevant information in his messy memory, and it would be bad to ask rashly.
Dumbledore also seemed to deliberately avoid this topic, and after a short conversation, he smiled at Ivan. "Alright, kid, you can go back, I'm sure there will be a surprise waiting for you later."
Ivan didn't hold out any hope for Dumbledore's surprise, and the news of his return was enough of a surprise for him.
So, Ivan left the place in an elegant and quick way, Dumbledore sitting in his chair comforted Fawkes with one hand, looking at Ivan's distant back, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
"Dessert soufflé!"
In front of the Hogwarts common room, Ivan shouted an order, and the fat lady who was in charge of guarding the place immediately nodded, and moved out of the way to reveal a circular passageway.
Every time Ivan climbs, he can't help but complain about the designer of this passage, what is not good in design, and he wants to make it into a pipe.
The Gryffindor lounge was pitch black at midnight, the dark brown fireplace on the right had been extinguished, and the magic lights around it had not been turned on, and the silence was unusual.
Ivan's face remained unchanged and he slowly walked forward, but his right hand had gradually slipped and grasped the wand pinned to his waist.
Boom~
Just as Ivan was in the middle, a blazing flame suddenly rose from the sky, followed by a dazzling white light from the magic lamps around him, the red lion flag representing Gryffindor on the ceiling slowly unfurled in midair, and strings of unidentified colored objects slowly fell.
The Weasley brothers, dressed in strange uniforms, burst out of their dorm room, tossed a large mass of festive ribbons made from torn sheets onto Ivan's head, and shouted behind him.
"Let's welcome back the heroes of Gryffindor!"
Heroes of Gryffindor? Who? How dare you be so arrogant?
Ivan, who thought it was a big night celebration of Halloween, was stunned when the Weasley brothers spoke, but before Ivan could react, dozens of junior wizards poured into the entrance of the dormitory.
In the front row were Harry and Ron, who directly worked together to lift Ivan down, and then the Weasley brothers also laughed and threw Ivan together...
"Cheers to the return of our Gryffindor heroes!" Fred shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Gryffindor cubs next to them also excitedly coaxed.
"Hero Hals~"
"Troll Slayer!"
.....
Ivan was thrown around by everyone like this, and his body was about to fall apart, and it took a while for a while for the little lions whose excitement subsided before he let Ivan go.
Taking advantage of this time, Ivan had already figured out what was going on in the inquiry, it turned out that after Harry and Ron returned to the dormitory, the big-mouthed Ron added fuel and vinegar to Ivan to kill the troll head-on and save Hermione.
Because of the troll incident, the little wizards who can only spend Halloween in the lounge have never heard such exciting news.
Suddenly, it was spread ten, ten and hundred, and the more exaggerated it became, Ivan was boasted as the hero of Gryffindor, and as for this welcome party, of course, it was organized by the Weasley brothers, who like to do things.
Knowing what happened, Ivan was still a little confused, after all, Harry and Ron, who defeated the trolls in the original books, were not treated like this.
However, Ivan forgets that he is fundamentally different from Harry and Ron, and although the two of them succeeded in stunning the trolls, they looked embarrassed afterwards, and the means of defeating the trolls were really not very glorious, pure luck.
And Ivan, in the eyes of onlookers, is simply a textbook hero to save beauty, and the means of killing trolls are even more neat.
In addition, the troll happened to fall in front of Ivan, and the death that was pierced through the head was also very legendary, and after being added to Ron's words, this caused such a big reaction!
Ivan could even see some little witches in the crowd secretly sending Qiu Bo to him, and some of the brave thieves even took the initiative to post over and ask him about the details of killing the trolls.
The attentiveness almost made Ivan forget that he had come to study at Hogwarts...
The unusually energetic Gryffindor cubs made a fuss until the middle of the night, considering that they had classes tomorrow, and then returned to their dormitories.
As the protagonist of the welcome party, Ivan was already exhausted and had a dry mouth at this time.
"This surprise is really big..."Ivan couldn't help but spit out as he thought of Dumbledore's last words before leaving.
However, the corners of Ivan's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
