Seeing the "miserable situation" of Harry and Ron, Ivan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed his mouth, pretending to look at the owl cage hanging on the side.

Hermione snorted lightly and snatched the book she had thrown back from Harry, then glanced at Ivan again, annoyed that Ivan had not covered up the events of last year's summer vacation.

Especially seeing that Ivan is not responding at all now, the little witch is even more angry...

Ivan looked helpless, he couldn't speak by himself, and he couldn't speak without speaking.

What a hassle...

Ivan had a headache, although he lived for eighteen years in his previous life, he spent most of the next few years in a hospital bed, and a sick man like him really didn't have much experience in coaxing people.

You can't rely on the vulgar scenes that look like movies and television dramas to coax people, right? Then he will definitely be killed!

Just as the carriage was about to fall into a long silence again, a familiar procrastination voice wafted in through the open doorway.

“…… Did you know? Dad really thought about sending me to Durmstrang instead of Hogwarts. He knew the principal of that school.

Alas, you know what he thinks of Dumbledore—the man was so fond of mudbloods—that Durmstrang simply wouldn't allow those who were scumbags to go to school. But my mother didn't want me to go that far......

My dad also told me that Durmstrang took a much more reasonable approach to the dark arts than Hogwarts. Durmstrang's students are really learning the dark arts, unlike us, what kind of ragged defenses......"

Ivan tilted his head and looked out of the carriage.

Dressed in a Slytherin robe, Malfoy was walking through the aisles of the train with his two attendants proudly tilted his head, slamming Hogwarts' shortcomings and injustices in a high-spirited manner.

As he passed by the carriage, Malfoy deliberately raised his voice and said in a strange tone. "Oh, of course! For some, Hogwarts is probably the best place to go, because they can only go to school here! ”

His two henchmen, Goyle and Clark, giggled, and echoed each other.

"Malfoy!" Ivan frowned, of course he could tell who Malfoy was taunting, but when he drew his wand, he was grabbed by a hand.

"Do you want Gryffindor to be deducted points here?" Hermione glared at Ivan dissatisfied, tiptoed over to the box door, and gently closed the door to prevent Malfoy's voice from coming in.

However, this time Malfoy had already run away with Goyle and Krar, and he had just seen Ivan pull out his wand, and of course he didn't want to stay where he was and be beaten.

"He likes Durmstrang so much that let's let him go, we wish he had a transfer!" Hermione returned to her place and slammed the book in her hand on the table, looking angry, and wondering if she had poured out her anger on it.

Although Harry was reluctant to stand up as a target when Hermione was angry, after holding back for a while, he couldn't help but look at Ivan and Ron, and asked.

"Durmstrang is a place and a school of magic? Why did Malfoy want to go there? ”

"Well, I think I've heard of this place somewhere." Ron mumbled.

Ivan opened his mouth to explain to Harry, "Durmstrang is one of the three major magic schools in Europe, established in Northern Europe, and the specific location is very mysterious, I heard that only the students and staff there know. ”

"Plus, the place is famous for learning dark arts in the open!" Ivan added.

"You're saying they teach dark arts in class?" Harry looked surprised, he couldn't imagine a place where dark magic could be taught. "Isn't Durmstrang a gathering place for dark wizards?"

"I can't say the same thing, learning dark magic doesn't mean being a dark wizard...... It's up to you how you use it, but during the Wizarding Wars, the Aurors were also allowed to use the Unforgivable Charm in their battles with the Death Eaters! Ivan corrected Harry's perception.

Powerful wizards know some black magic, it's just a matter of whether they use it.

Of course, there is a certain reason why Hogwarts forbids young wizards to learn dark arts, many dark arts require users to condense some negative emotions, and the powerful destructive power is easy to indulge in!

In order to change the topic and ease the atmosphere, Ivan said a lot about the three major houses, and casually asked Harry and others about what happened to them at the Quidditch pitch in the middle of the way.

Harry and Ron didn't hide it, recounting to Ivan what had happened to them after watching the Quidditch Cup.

Just like the original plane, when they slept in their tents at night, a riot broke out on the grounds.

A large number of wizards in black robes and high hats and masks appeared out of nowhere, wantonly setting fire to the tents of the field, and using magic to tease and torture nearby Muggles.

Ivan knew the inside story, knowing that it was an operation by Lucius-Malfoy and the Muggle-hating Death Eaters.

Sirius said they must be Death Eaters, so he went to trouble them...... Ron and Hermione and I took refuge in the woods and ran into a strange house-elf......"

Harry said as he spoke, and there was still a hint of fear on his face, there were a lot of thugs in number, and they had no scruples about casting spells, and if they accidentally bumped into them, they probably wouldn't have the ability to resist.

"You say Sirius is going to trouble them?" Ivan raised an eyebrow, something he hadn't expected.

"Yes!" Harry nodded, but he hadn't seen anything in the woods, only the flickering light of the spell as it flew.

Then, I don't know who recited a strange incantation, and a huge green glittering thing flew into the sky, conjuring a huge skeleton, and a large sinuous python emerged from the skeleton's mouth.

Recalling the terrifying scene, both Harry and Ron couldn't help but shrink their minds, and Hermione didn't care about being angry at this time, and added very seriously.

"According to Mr. Bagman, that's the Mark of the Dark Devil! In the last Wizarding War, the Death Eaters were causing chaos and killing wizards. After Muggles, it is common to launch this symbol from the sky......"

Listening to Hermione and the others, Ivan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The Dark Mark should have been released by Barty Crouch Jr., and it seems that some things have not been affected by the flapping wings of his butterfly!
