But where did George and Fred acquire their knowledge?

Is it in the forbidden section of Hogwarts?

Ivan thought it was very likely that the collection of books in the forbidden area was so vast that the books he had visited many times in a school year might not be less than one-ten-thousandth of the books in the forbidden area.

It's also normal to have some books about ancient magic scripts, after all, there is even knowledge about Horcruxes there....

But these days he wasn't working in vain, he still made some ordinary magic items, plus the ones made by Althea, and a quarter of the shelves in the store were already stocked with goods.

At the same time, Hals's Strange Magical Items Shop has reopened.

This continued until the early morning of the second week, when Ivan, who was silently practicing magic script on the counter, heard the sound of a bell ringing outside the door.

With a look on his face, Ivan put down the carving knife, it will take more than half a month for the people from the Ministry of Magic to arrive, it seems that there are guests coming...

"Hello, welcome to the Hals Strange Magic Item Shop, do you have anything you need?" Ivan raised his head and spoke.

Immediately after, Ivan was stunned, the person who came was dressed in a black wizard's robe, with pale blonde hair, and his face was pale and a little scary, and after entering the store, the snake-shaped cane held in his right hand slammed on the ground, making a muffled sound...

Lucius Malfoy!

Ivan squinted his eyes to confirm the identity of the comer, guessing the other party's intentions.

Is it the trouble with the Wizarding Market?

No, judging by the news Doggett gave him, the Malfoys are not the behind-the-scenes shareholders of the Wizarding Market.

Then it could only be...

Ivan was thinking about it when he heard someone speak.

"Isn't Mrs. Hals in the shop?"

Lucius Malfoy's indifferent grey eyes scanned the shop, keenly aware that it was a little different from when he had been here.

Most of the store was empty, leaving only a small number of magic items.

"Yes," Ivan said with a word in his mouth, and continued.

"But now I'm the acting owner, Mr. Malfoy, and if you have anything, you can talk to me."

"Listen, son, I'm going to talk about a big deal, and I'm going to call your mother over." Lucius Malfoy waved his hand impatiently, he wasn't interested in wasting time with an imp.

"Is Mr. Malfoy going to sell some dark magic items?" Ivan said directly.

Lucius was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Then my mother will definitely not agree, and Mr. Malfoy should also know about the recent big moves of the Ministry of Magic, so I am not going to buy large quantities of dark magic items here for the time being." Ivan refused.

"People from the Ministry of Magic don't usually find out about Tumbledown Alley, do they?" Seeing that Ivan's words were very methodical, Lucius couldn't help but put away the previous contempt and asked.

"It looks like Mr. Malfoy doesn't know much about what happened in Tumbledown Alley." Ivan shook his head.

Lucius was silent, especially since he had been busy dealing with the prohibited items in his home recently, and he had been anxious for a long time, and he was concerned about the matter of Tumbledown Alley.

Ivan didn't say much, only mentioning that the Ministry of Magic might also find out about Tumbledown Alley, so the store removed the untimely magic items.

Lucius's face was very ugly, and if things were as Ivan said, it would be troublesome.

Of the three dark magic shops in Tumbledown Alley, he had already been to the one opened by the goblin, and the other party directly refused to help him deal with the dark magic items.

The owner of the Borgin Bock store was a tough one to deal with, and Lucius felt that the other party might seize the opportunity to drive down the price.

That's why he came here to try it first, but he couldn't go over there, but he didn't expect to learn from Ivan that the Ministry of Magic would patrol Tumbledown Alley.

Lucius didn't know that the Ministry of Magic was only going to check the dark magic shop, and thought that Fudge was going to clean Tumbledown Alley.

Thinking of this, Lucius was about to leave with a gloomy face, planning to find other old friends to see if he could drag them to deal with it.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Malfoy." Ivan's gaze lingered for a moment on the journal Lucius was holding in his left hand.

"What's wrong?" Lucius Malfoy stopped.

"Although our family can't buy your stuff in large quantities, it's okay to have a few more items in stock." Ivan didn't keep his calm expression before, but changed his cheerful tone.

"Especially if there are any new and interesting magic items..."

Lucius shook his head in his heart, he had thought that this little wizard was very mature, and he thought about how good it would be if Draco was like this.

I didn't expect that after all, it was just a child's heart, and it was exposed by saying two more words.

Lucius opened his mouth and was about to refuse, because what he needed was to sell in bulk, but he didn't have the time to sell piece by piece.

However, remembering the notebook in his hand, Lucius hesitated again, and suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to deal with trouble.

"What do you think of this?" Lucius turned and placed the journal he was holding in his left hand on the table.

Ivan looked at it carefully,

It doesn't look thick, the date printed in ink on the cover has faded a bit, I don't know how long it has been placed, and nothing else than this.

Ivan knew that this was Tom Marvolo Riddle's diary and Voldemort's first Horcrux.

If he left it unchecked, the Horcrux journal would possess Ginny Weasley next semester, unleash the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, and stir up trouble in Hogwarts until he was sanctioned by the Savior Harry Potter!

The experience of last semester clearly told Ivan that many things have become different since he joined.

So Ivan didn't think things would be as coincidental as the original plane, a huge basilisk that didn't kill any student in a few sorties at school.

If a few students die at Hogwarts, it will have to be shut down immediately, not to mention that he is also in the school at that time, and there is also a possibility of encountering the basilisk.

Now that he has this opportunity, Ivan certainly wants to solve the trouble of the Horcrux once and for all, as long as he learns to be fierce.

Moreover, Ivan remembered the mutilated "Bloodline Origin" in his hand, and he had some questions that also needed to be answered by an insider.

While at Hogwarts, Ivan considered approaching Voldemort's other Horcrux, the Ravenclaw Crown, but eventually gave up.

Voldemort was already extremely powerful when he made the crown, and unless he destroyed it immediately after obtaining it, or gave it to Dumbledore directly, he could be controlled even if he carried it with him.

The diary is different, it carries the memories and powers of Voldemort in his fifth grade, and it is one of the most accessible Horcruxes....
