Chapter 400: Nasty Bronze Knockers and Broken Brooms
Luna's tone was a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood and stepped into the Ravenclaw common room.
The open bronze door slowly closes...
Seeing Luna's back disappear in front of him, Ivan was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly, of course he understood what Luna said, but was his mood change so obvious?
Ivan had always thought he was in good disguise, but Harry, Ron, and Neville, who were in the same bedroom as him, never noticed anything was wrong...
Ivan, who had stayed in front of the door for a long time without moving, made the eagle-shaped bronze knocker mistakenly think that he wanted to enter, and the eagle's mouth opened and closed, and a mysterious voice sounded.
"Excuse me... What is the nature of magic? ”
The sound of the bronze knocker interrupted Ivan's thoughts.
Hearing this familiar question, Ivan rolled his eyes, pulled out his wand and put it down again, resisting the idea of removing the knocker, and decisively turned away...
Heading back to Gryffindor's common room, Ivan pushed open the door to his dorm, revealing that everyone else had returned.
Ron, Neville, and the others gathered around Harry and were talking something.
"Ivan, where did you just go? We've been waiting on the pitch for a long time to get you back..."Hearing the commotion outside the door, Ron turned his head and spoke.
"You know, I've always been a fan of hustle and bustle, they're so welcoming." Ivan shook his head, explained casually, and then closed the door and walked into the bedroom, curious. "By the way, what are you all doing here?"
"We're looking at Harry's broomstick... When he fell from the sky, the broom was blown away by the wind and hit the beating willow by the lake, and the beating willow had never liked to be smashed on him... So this broom became like this! ”
Ron said helplessly, getting out of the way.
Ivan saw the remains of a broken broom on the table next to Harry's bed, which was obviously impossible to use.
Harry also had a devastated expression on his face, this Halo 2000 was a gift from Professor McGonagall when he entered the Quidditch team in his first year, and he had been with him for more than two years, going through countless ups and downs.
Harry even remembered every time he caught the Golden Snitch on a broomstick, but unfortunately the broom could no longer accompany him!
What's more, their sworn rivals, Slytherin, have a Halo 2001, and if he rides an old-fashioned comet broomstick and competes with Malfoy for the Golden Snitch, he will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of speed, and it will be even harder to win the Quidditch trophy back to the score!
Ivan shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do, and that he would not repair the broomstick's technology.
In addition, the fire bolts that Sirius, the local tyrant, sold to Harry should have arrived in a day or two, so after Ivan comforted Harry casually, he didn't care anymore, and turned his eyes to Spotted's body.
The fat rat was still very moist, and didn't seem to be in danger, or didn't remember anything, and was lying on Ron's bedside munching on a piece of flavored bean, not at all running around in horror like the original plane.
Ivan nodded with satisfaction, but it was indeed time to settle Peter's affairs recently, after all, it was not a matter to wait for Dumbledore to come back like this.
He thought he might be able to wait for tomorrow's Defence Against the Dark Arts class to be over and have a good chat with Lupin...
Try to convince Lupin first.
......
The next day, in the morning, in Defense Against the Dark Arts class,
Lupin, whose face was a little pale, pointed to several ugly creatures in cages and explained to the crowd.
"In this lesson, I'll show you how to deal with red hats!"
"As you can see, they look a little like elves! But be warned, it doesn't have the intelligence of an elf, and it's brutal by nature, especially lurking in places where blood once flowed.
For example, stay in the dungeons of castles and the tunnels of abandoned battlefields, waiting for an opportunity to attack those who pass by..."
Lupin talked eloquently to the young wizards about the way to deal with the red hat, and from time to time mixed with one or two interesting legends or small stories, which aroused everyone's interest.
Lupin then opened the cage and grabbed a red hat and came out, and asked each of the young wizards to try to deal with the creature, either by chanting a spell to expel them or by using a stun charm to stun the red hat.
"In short, the secret to dealing with them is not to be afraid, as long as you can overcome your fear, you will find that the red hat is actually very easy to deal with!" Lupin reminded aloud.
For a prepared wizard, most magical creatures in the wizarding world pose no threat, otherwise the wizard would not be the master of the wizarding world...
Although all the young wizards here are third-year wizards, relatively speaking, the red hat has no weapons in his hands, and the threat level is not high, which is suitable for actual combat practice.
"Hals, this time it's up to you to demonstrate to everyone!" Lupin looked at Ivan and spoke.
Ivan nodded and walked to the center.
Lupin shouted for everyone to back off, then waved his wand to untie the ropes that bound the red hat.
The ugly, goblin-like creature, after breaking free, screamed and hurried towards the nearest Ivan.
For Ivan, such a small scene was naturally dealt with calmly, and after waiting for the red hat to get closer, Ivan calculated the red hat's movement and raised his hand at will.
"It's all petrified!"
The light of the spell suddenly hit the red hat's body, freezing it in place, and the red hat even had a twisted and hideous look on his face...
"Awesome petrification charm! Gryffindor plus five points! Lupin walked out with applause and said to the crowd behind him. See? Just stay calm, this thing isn't that hard to deal with! ”
The little wizards who saw Ivan easily subduing the red hat suddenly became eager to try it, and they couldn't wait to deal with this magical creature themselves.
Considering that this time the two colleges are taking classes together, the number of people is relatively large, and I am afraid that if you go one-on-one, you will not be able to finish the class until the end of the class.
Lupin made Ivan his assistant coach for the time being, supervising the Gryffindor's young wizards against the Red Hats, so that they could play two people at the same time.
Lupin was still very relieved about Ivan's strength, and yesterday evening he also heard that Ivan had driven out hundreds of Dementors who had broken into the school and saved the students of the school, knowing that many adult wizards could not do this.
"Harry, Malfoy, now it's your turn." Lupin spoke.
The two men stepped forward together, Harry looking a little nervous, staring at the petrified red hat, and Malfoy looking confident.
