You're finally back..."Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.

During Dumbledore's absence, he was terrified every day, for fear that something would go wrong.

"It seems that a lot of things have happened in my absence, and although I have learned the story of some things from the Daily Prophet, I am afraid that they are not accurate enough...", Dumbledore said meaningfully, glancing at the letters and newspapers on the table.

Ivan didn't know exactly how much information Dumbledore knew, so he started at the beginning.

"Professor, here's the thing... I got a magical map from George and Fred that showed people's names, and during one of my inspections, I accidentally found a name on the head of Ron's rat......"

Ivan half-truthfully told the process of discovering Peter's identity, of course, about what happened recently, and how he coped with it, Ivan also roughly said.

Dumbledore applauded when he heard that Ivan had found out Peter's identity based on just a name on the map and his knowledge of the Animagus Transfiguration.

"What a brilliant corollary, Hals! If Minerva knew that you had discovered Peter's identity using the Transfiguration she had taught, she would be proud! ”

"Severus is not wrong, you are indeed a genius!" Dumbledore looked at Ivan with emotion, he hadn't met such a gifted little wizard in years.

Among the students he has taught, only Tom can match him.

No... Thinking of this, Dumbledore shook his head secretly in his heart, even if Tom was the same age, his strength and temperament were far inferior to Ivan.

At that time, although Tom had his own ideas and liked to be clever, he could still guess some of the other party's ideas.

However, when facing Ivan now, Dumbledore felt more tired, and the little wizard was as unpredictable as a mist.

Sometimes Ivan's actions made him feel that the little wizard seemed to be very keen on fame and power.

But at other times, Ivan showed disdain for this, looking like he just wanted to study in peace and didn't want to do things...

Summing up Ivan's various behaviors in recent years, it can only be described as the annual Wizard Bewitchment Behavior Awards...

In the face of the old professor's praise, Ivan did not dare to accept it, and said very modestly that he had only done some small work, which was really not worth mentioning.

From this incident, Ivan deeply understood a truth, as the so-called greater ability, the greater the blame!

I'm still a kid! Dumbledore actually dumped such an important matter as Sirius's reversal of the case directly to himself, wouldn't his conscience hurt?

Ivan looked at Dumbledore with resentment in his eyes.

However, Dumbledore's cheeks were surprisingly thick, and he didn't seem to see the resentment in Ivan's eyes, and continued to ask some detailed questions.

Dumbledore was particularly curious as to how Ivan had managed to convince the Daily Prophet to make a massive report on Peter Pettigrew's affairs, thereby putting public pressure on the Ministry of Magic.

You must know that the Daily Prophet has always been the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, and it is impossible for them not to consult with the people of the Ministry of Magic for such a blockbuster breaking news.

Seeing Dumbledore mention the Daily Prophet, Ivan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly.

"Professor, you may not believe it... The editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet thought you were running for the post of Minister of Magic because of some misunderstanding, so they all expressed their full support for you! ”

What the? I'm running for Minister of Magic?

Dumbledore was a little confused, and the expression he looked at Ivan suddenly became very strange.

He really couldn't understand what Ivan had said to the other party to have such a misunderstanding?

No wonder he saw that the Daily Prophet recently reported a lot of black materials from the Ministry of Magic, such as the Ministry of Magic's poor supervision that led to frequent dementor riots, a high-ranking official suspected of corruption, etc...

At the time, he thought it was strange, but now I understand what happened...

Thinking of the basket that Ivan stabbed, Dumbledore couldn't help but have a headache.

He began to wonder if he was right or wrong to throw this to Ivan....

Although on the surface it seems that Ivan handled it very well, even better than he originally thought, the trouble that secretly caused was really not small.

Minister of Magic Fudge was originally jealous of himself, but now that Ivan is doing this, the gap between the two sides has been widened!

And the Daily Prophet also needs to explain it himself, after all, he has so many things to worry about that he really doesn't have the energy to be the Minister of Magic.

Thinking like this, Dumbledore was suddenly a little glad that he had come back in time, otherwise, he might not know what would have turned out.

Ivan knew that he was at a loss, and without waiting for the old professor to ask, he poured bitter water first, saying that it was really not easy for him these days!

Not only do you have to find a way to convince the people of the Daily Prophet, but you also have to intrigue with the Minister of Magic, Fudge, and you have to clean up Harry and others who are in trouble... If Dumbledore had come back a few days too late, he would have died on the spot!

"Is that so?" Listening to Ivan's complaints, Dumbledore's face showed a look of surprise, and he pushed a letter on the table in front of Ivan, and then looked at Ivan to continue.

"I thought you were comfortable with this kind of life, after all, I don't remember when I sent a nomination letter to the Knights of Merlin..."

"Ahem... You're going to have to ask Minister Fudge, who thinks it's worth recognizing my contributions to the wizarding world, so he suggests that he join you in applying for a Merlin Order of Merlin of the First Class! ”

Ivan glanced at the letter on the table, his face remained unchanged, and he threw the pot to Fudge very neatly, how could he, an impostor, refuse Minister Fudge's kindness?

Dumbledore was very skeptical, he didn't think Fudge would have such good intentions, especially since Ivan had recently made Fudge the Minister of Magic very worried.

However, in the reply letter of the Knights of Merlin, Fudge's name was indeed mentioned, which was what puzzled him the most...

"Professor Dumbledore, did the Knights of Merlin agree to the nomination?" It's a matter of legend, Ivan asked cautiously.

"There is no conclusion yet, and they will not consider whether to release it until the results of the trial are in place and Peter Pettigrew's charges are confirmed." Dumbledore replied casually, not asking the bottom of the matter.

Ivan used his identity to apply for the Order of Merlin, which was within his tolerance.

When he had given the magic letter to Ivan, he had guessed that the other party might put the letter somewhere else.

I just didn't expect Ivan to use it on this...
