Without this time travel, Ivan would not have been able to predict that something worse would have happened.

Thinking of this, Ivan remembered the cause and effect of this attack again, and said apologetically.

"I'm sorry... Mom. ”

"What's wrong?" Althea was stunned and asked with some concern.

"Those black-robed wizards should have slipped through the net when the Ministry of Magic cracked down on dark magic items last year, if I hadn't made the protective ring and anti-spell gloves, you wouldn't have cooperated with the Ministry of Magic, let alone provoked them..."

Ivan regretted it very much, he felt that he had crossed over and replaced Althea's child, not only did not bring her any benefit, but because of it, it caused her to encounter a life-and-death crisis.

You know, in his memory, Aisyah's mother and son stayed in Tumbledown Alley for more than ten years...

Just as he was thinking like this, Ivan's head suddenly hurt, and he was flicked with his index finger, Ivan looked up innocently, and Althea was looking at him with a crying and laughing expression.

"How could you think that? Just because it is possible to offend them, we will not make gold Galleons, can we? There's no way to make money here without taking risks..."Althea rubbed Ivan's hair and continued amusefully. "How do you think our family's previous business came about?"

The wizarding world is so big, the market for the sale of dark magic items is even smaller, and it is necessary to contact some dangerous people, and it is impossible to do such a business without offending people.

When she first came here to open this dark magic shop, she was suppressed by various forces, especially the owner of Boginbock, who was a fellow trader, and she was always in trouble.

Fortunately, she has good strength, withstood the other party's successive temptations, and got acquainted with Doggett for some reasons, which can be regarded as completely stable in Tumbledown Alley.

Therefore, Aisya did not blame Ivan, and she could only be annoyed that she had not noticed the movements of these people in advance.

"So don't think about it, without those protective rings you made, the store might have been forced to close when we inspected the dark magic items last year, and we would have had a hard time..."Althea said jokingly when she saw that Ivan seemed to blame herself.

How can it be so exaggerated? Ivan pursed his lips, he remembered that Althea had spent hundreds of gold gallons to get Doggett to get him a Dementor to practice calling for the gods...

Althea reached out again and took Ivan in her arms, whispering in his ear. "You've done enough, good enough! Mom is so proud of you! ”

"If your friend hadn't told me that you would have single-handedly eliminated those black-robed wizards, I wouldn't believe such an exaggerated thing..."

Ivan's guilt lessened slightly, and then he noticed that Hermione had been standing aside and watching silently for a long time.

Ivan broke free of Althea's embrace slightly, looked at Hermione, and spoke.

"Mom, let me introduce you, this is Hermione Granger! One of my best friends at Hogwarts and the best and brightest student in the year! I was able to do this thanks to her help..."

"Hermione Granger? Very nice name, my performance just now was a little out of control, didn't scare you, right? Aisya also turned her gaze away from Ivan and said gently.

"No, Mrs. Hals! I know, you're worried about Ivan too. Hermione hurriedly shook her head, and then said with some embarrassment. Actually, I didn't help much..."

"Anyway, I want to thank you for being willing to accompany Ivan to do such a dangerous thing...", Althea said gratefully.

"We're friends, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Hermione subconsciously glanced at Ivan and spoke.

Noticing Hermione's eyes, a teasing smile hung on Althea's face, and her purple eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, she said half-jokingly. "Well. Friend? That's all for your relationship? Isn't there anything more special? ”

Hermione's cheeks flushed, and she was about to defend herself, but she couldn't open her mouth under Althea's gaze, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Ivan rolled his eyes and was about to say something when a voice suddenly rang out.

"What's wrong? Why am I here? Is it raining? ”

The three of them all turned their heads to look over, and Doggett sat up with a blank expression, his clothes a little wet from the rain, and the smell of alcohol all over his body.

He clearly remembered that he was drinking in the living room of the mansion, how did he come here in a blink of an eye?

This inexplicable state of absence lasted for a while, and Doggett soon noticed that Aisya and the others were standing aside and looking at him...

Doggett's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly rummaged through his wizard's robe, found a wand, and tapped his robe.

"Clean up!"

Under the effect of magic, the stains on the wizard's robe and the rain were suddenly separated, and the whole person was much more energetic.

At this time, Doggett stood up, coughed lightly twice, and asked out loud. "Why are you all here, am I missing something important?"

"Come and tell him!" Althea looked at Ivan and said.

Ivan nodded and explained. "Dean Doggett, a group of black-robed wizards attacked the magic shop just now..."

"What?" Before Ivan could finish speaking, Doggett frowned, suddenly realizing the seriousness of the matter.

He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have drunk so much before...

Otherwise, his house was not too far from the store, and he would have sensed that something was wrong and rushed over to help.

"You and Althea aren't hurt, are they?" Doggett looked at Ivan and Aisya very worriedly, and was relieved to see that they were in good shape, and then said very angrily. "Do you know the identities of those attackers? Where are they now? ”

"The black-robed wizards are all dead, and it should be the shopkeeper of Boginbock who commanded them," Ivan said truthfully.

Doggett was not surprised to hear that those attackers were all wiped out, after all, he knew the strength of Aisya and Ivan, plus the store was their home field, it was normal to deal with a few dark wizards.

However, hearing the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, Doggett scolded angrily. "So it's him? I knew that old thing had evil intentions..."

Ivan silently took Doggett's reaction in his eyes, it didn't look like it was disguised.

However, Ivan couldn't be sure of his own judgment, and if there was one thing he didn't figure out, he wouldn't let Doggett get involved in the rest of the matter.

Thinking of this, Ivan quietly grasped his wand and suddenly asked. "By the way, Dean Doggett, you used to be a Death Eater?"
