"Ivan, what you've done tonight!" After everyone left, Harry, who had just been squeezed to the edge of the crowd, stepped forward and gave Ivan a big hug.

"Perhaps." Ivan shrugged his shoulders before explaining. "Actually, you shouldn't be exaggerating, I've worked a lot hard to deal with trolls."

It's not that Ivan is modest, but the news has been somewhat distorted, and in one of the versions Ivan heard, the twelve-foot-tall troll had even become twenty-foot-tall!

This is a must-have...

"Hey, come on, you're a Gryffindor hero, we only saw you kill the trolls after saving Hermione, oh my god, that's fast." Ron hammered Ivan in the chest and laughed.

"Besides, we just mentioned the next story, who knew it would be like this?" Harry said they weren't behind it.

"By the way, what about Hermione?" Ivan asked.

"I don't know, I saw it just now." Harry was also a little strange.

"You saved her, but I didn't expect her to even say thank you now." Ron said angrily.

"I guess I left for something." Ivan shook his head, Hermione wasn't that kind of person.

Because Hermione had taken all the punishment before, which made the two of them have a different opinion of her, Harry and Ron accepted Ivan's statement.

Harry and Ron then mysteriously took Ivan to see a package containing a brand new Lightwheel 2000, which Professor McGonagall had sent to Harry this morning, and Ivan had missed it because he was in the library.

Although he was not interested, Ivan saw the excitement of the two and boasted a few words in his conscience, and then hurriedly sent them to sleep.

Idle, who had time to spare, finally had time to take a closer look at the rewards he had received for killing the trolls.

【Blood Fusion Reagent (Potion Formula)

Required Materials: dried nettle, epiphylla, valerian, alcerica parasitic berry, black veratrol petals, buckthorn, black bat, powder of mountain flower......

Special Material: 150 ml of active blood of magical creatures (Note: If the blood leaves the body for more than three days, the activity will be greatly reduced)

Pre-position: Potions Level 6 (Note: Potions Level 4 is required in the experience card state)]

Looking at the list of names in the required materials, Ivan felt a little dizzy, this is too much, right?

Moreover, many of them are high-grade potion materials, and the price is amazing, even if he runs to Hogsmeade Village or Diagon Alley to buy them at the risk of being caught, the gold galleons on his body are far from enough.

The preposition of the sixth level of Potions made Ivan frown again and again, don't look at his Potions has been raised to the level of level three, but the higher the level, the slower the improvement, and the difficulty of each level up from level three is more difficult than rising from level zero to level three!

Fortunately, Ivan was relieved to see the small print annotation on the back, if he was at the fourth level of potions, he still had a chance to work hard, but he didn't expect that the refining of potions in the experience card mode would also have a bonus.

For Ivan, the best thing to get is the blood of the magical creature, and despite the restriction that the activity will drop after three days out of the body, Ivan knows that it will not be long before Hagrid hatches a small dragon.

Adult dragon, Ivan can't beat it, but this newborn one is not at his mercy?

It's easy to draw some blood or something... Just get everything else ready before the little dragon is sent away.

Knock knock.. Knock knock....

When Ivan was a little absorbed in his thoughts, he faintly heard a noise outside the window, and turned his head to look, but it was a black-gray owl knocking on the glass with its beak outside the window, and a rope was tied to its legs, which seemed to be tied to something.

Gulla?

A word came to Ivan's mind, and Ivan guessed that it might be the owl's name.

Stepping forward to open the window, the black-gray owl flew in quickly, landed on Ivan's shoulder and shook his body, because the whole dormitory had gone to give Ivan a welcome party, so the poor little creature was forced to blow the night breeze all night.

Ivan was no longer in the mood to care about the safety of an owl, and all his attention was on the envelope hanging from its lap.

Because it clearly says Ivan Halske,

Ivan untied the rope and grabbed the envelope in his hand but did not have the courage to open it, and the expression on his face changed and changed, and finally sighed.

He had known that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Ivan hesitated for a moment and opened the envelope, which made him feel a little relieved that the content of the letter was very ordinary, just asking him about his current situation at Hogwarts, which house he was assigned to, etc., and it ended with Althea Hals, who was his mother.

Also included was three gold galleons, with a small note underneath saying that he could send back a letter when he was short of money.

But the more concerned the content of the letter, the more guilty and worried Ivan became...

Needless to say, although this crossing was not under his control, after all, it was inexplicably replaced by the other party's child halfway, and Ivan certainly couldn't accept it with peace of mind.

The concern stems from Dumbledore's ambiguous assessment of his mother, as well as the conspicuous Dark Arts Fear Charm in the system bar...

Thinking of the fear charm, Ivan was somewhat speechless in his heart, generally speaking, which normal mother would teach the dangerous black magic of the fear charm before going to school,

And the process of teaching could never have been cheerful and peaceful, otherwise he would not have felt fear when he recalled before. Apparently it was the mother who let her child experience what fear was in order to get a quick start.

These unknowns made Ivan feel uneasy, which made Ivan desperately need to have at least enough strength to protect himself before going home and leaving school.

And the fastest way to improve your strength is to make this newly obtained bloodline fusion reagent. So even though Ivan felt that the three gold galleons in the letter were a little hot, he finally put them away.

No way, he's so short of money right now...

"Goo~" The black owl Gula who delivered the letter had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Ivan, he had to hit Ivan's head with his beak to remind him.

Ivan also woke up from his contemplation, and now the most urgent thing should be to reply to the letter, and while bringing his Maca's food box to Gula to make him a little more patient, he ignored Maca's protest and picked up the quill in a tangled way.

After a long silence, Ivan wrote down some interesting things that had happened at school recently on a blank piece of paper.

Originally, Ivan was going to mention the trolls, but he deleted all the relevant content before sending the letter.

Having defeated the trolls shortly after entering the school, Ivan reckoned that his mother's first instinct would have been to run to the school in horror and question Dumbledore instead of being proud of him.

It's better to keep a low profile and don't make too many troubles...

After a period of revisions, deletions, deletions, and reductions, Ivan closed the envelope and sealed it to allow Owl Gula to return the same way.

After all this, the sky was already a little cloudy, and Ivan pulled the quilt and lay down on the bed.

In a daze, Ivan suddenly thought of a question, did Dumbledore mean the welcome party when he said surprise, or was it this letter?

.....

Early the next morning, Ivan, who had slept for less than two hours, reluctantly got up to class, and Harry and Ron, who had the same experience and yawned all the time.

However, after the three of them got up, they looked at each other's thick dark circles, and they couldn't help laughing, and their spirits were lifted a lot.

After a night of fermentation, it seems that the news of Ivan's killing of the troll has spread throughout the school, causing Ivan to hear whispers wherever he goes.

Ivan couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the situation was only a little better when he arrived at the Transfiguration classroom.

Hermione had arrived a little earlier than the three, and had sat quietly on the right, flipping through the pages, the next seat occupied.

A few Gryffindor witches chattered and didn't know what they were discussing, and asked Hermione from time to time, who looked very impatient, until he saw Ivan, his face showed joy, put down the book and prepared to come.

"Alright, kids, now start class, get me back to your seats!" Professor McGonagall walked in just then, looking at the mess of the classroom and frowning.

Ivan, Harry, and Ron quickly found three empty seats and sat down, and Hermione had no choice but to sit back.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Ivan consciously, then cleared her throat and spoke to the young wizards who were already seated.

"I think I should have said at the beginning of the school year that Transfiguration is going to be one of the most complex and dangerous spells you can learn at Hogwarts, and that if you learn it well, Transfiguration will be enough to solve most of your problems."

"As you may have heard, just yesterday, Mr. Hals, with his superb Transfiguration Charm and brilliant mind, managed to slay a troll in the hallways of Hogwarts!"

"For this, Professor Dumbledore has added a full twenty points to Gryffindor House!" Professor McGonagall concluded.

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience, and there were bursts of discussion, and Ivan suddenly became the focus of everyone.

Although many young wizards had heard the news before, it was from the mouths of Harry and Ron, and it might not be credible, but now it was a stone hammer!

Suddenly complimented by Professor McGonagall, Ivan was not happy at all, because in his experience, this is usually followed by a proviso, which is in line with the general teacher's speaking process.

Sure enough, Ivan then heard Professor McGonagall continue.

"But... I would like to warn you that trolls are very powerful and dangerous creatures, and they are definitely not something that a young wizard who has not yet graduated can defeat! Hals was the only one, and even Professor Quirrell, who taught your Defense Against the Dark Arts class, was frightened and passed out at the Halloween party! ”

At this, Professor McGonagall's gaze sharpened, and she continued.

"If I had known that anyone else would do something like this, I would have recommended that Professor Dumbledore expel him."

"And even with Hals, defeating the trolls isn't as easy as you think." With that, Professor McGonagall glanced around, noticed that the young wizards below were silent, and then looked at Ivan, gave him a look, and motioned for him to behave.

Ivan immediately stood up consciously, with a solemn expression and a deep tone.

"Yes, Professor, I swear, trolls are definitely the toughest opponent I've had in eleven years... Not one of them! ”

As soon as Ivan finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from below, because many clever little wizards heard the hidden meaning of Ivan's words.

As a first-year, eleven-year-old wizard, in their opinion, the troll should be the first opponent Ivan encountered, and of course the most difficult.

Professor McGonagall was dissatisfied with Ivan's perfunctory attitude, preferring to talk about Ivant's fear of facing the trolls and the thrilling process, so as to give the children a shot at the beginning.

Ivan shrugged his shoulders undeniably, admiring Professor McGonagall's clever approach in his heart.

First, he used his defeat of the trolls to inspire young wizards to learn the Transfiguration Charm, and then set the tone in the official speech to put an end to the rumors that were becoming more and more exaggerated.

After all, it is better to be sparse, rather than hiding this matter and letting everyone guess, it is better to use it as a model to promote the positive effect. Use expulsion as a warning to prevent some young wizards from thinking "if he can do it, I can do it too" and go further and further down the road of death.

The last thing is to suppress his prestige, so that he will not become complacent after defeating the trolls.

The only pitiful thing is Quirrell, who is used by McGonagall as a backdrop to the strength of the trolls, and will most likely become the laughing stock of Hogwarts after today.

Ivan, who was far more than eleven years old in his heart, guessed Professor McGonagall's thoughts in a short period of time.

If he could, Ivan wouldn't mind cooperating with Professor McGonagall, after all, keeping a low profile was king, but unfortunately, there were some doubts about the process of killing the trolls, and the more he talked, the more wrong he was.

Otherwise, Professor McGonagall would have to ask him what his intentions were at transforming into a pile of razor-sharp iron thorns.

As a result, Professor McGonagall carefully prepared the opening remarks, and with Ivan's uncooperative attitude, only half of the expectations were met.

As a result, Professor McGonagall solemnly reminded Ivan that if she answered the questions without her consent in class, she might consider using the Silence Charm to allow Ivan to shut up for a while and give the other young wizards a chance to behave.

Ivan looked at his double-digit GPA and the 799 proficiency points left to upgrade in Potions, and could only say with difficulty that he might consider the professor's valuable opinion, play fairly, and try to raise his hand to speak.
