Chapter Thirty-Eight: Infiltrating Hogsmeade
Bidding farewell to the Weasley brothers, Ivan returned to Gryffindor's common room alone.
On the way, Ivan also found that there was already an extra piece of information about the map of the living point in the magic items in the system bar.
[Magic Item: Living Point Map.]
Magic: Strong
Description: This is a map of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, showing all living people who exist in the school, and no one can escape its detection unless some special means are employed. 】
The powerful level of magic surprised Ivan, but after thinking that the Living Point Map could even monitor Dumbledore's whereabouts, Ivan took it for granted.
I don't know how James Potter, Sirius, and Lupin used to make such powerful magic items more than ten years ago.
Peter Pettigrew at hand may know something,
With the map of the living spots, Ivan already has the ability to report Peter Pettigrew, but Ivan is not prepared to do so.
Sirius came because he had seen Spotted in the newspaper, and secondly, his suspicions had not been cleared up before he came, and he didn't want to face Dumbledore again anytime soon.
With the map in hand, Ivan was more confident about his plan to sneak out and buy the potions he needed, all he needed was free time.
At this time, in the Gryffindor common room, Harry, Ron, and Hermione gathered around the roaring fire, but the expressions on everyone's faces were not as relaxed and happy as Ivan thought.
"Hey, Ivan, where did you just go?" Seeing Ivan coming in from outside, Ron immediately stepped forward and pulled Ivan over.
"I'll have to ask your two brothers." Ivan replied simply, then changed the subject. "Are you here celebrating Harry for catching the Golden Snitch?"
"Come on, we were just talking about why my broom suddenly got out of control during a race." Harry shook his head.
"That must have been Snape's doing!" Ron said angrily.
"Yes, I've seen Professor Snape doing bad work before, and that's when Harry's broom went wrong. When Harry's broomstick was back to normal, Snape shut up. Hermione wasn't on Snape's side this time, after all, she had seen it with her own eyes, and Harry was one of her best friends.
Since Ivan had "dealt with" the problem in a timely manner this time, Hermione had not yet started to act, and Harry had already returned to safety, so there was no fire in the stands.
Ivan listened to the three of them talk about the possibility of Snape murdering Harry, and after thinking about it, he retorted.
"Harry, give your broom a problem with Professor Chino, I sat next to him and interrupted his spell."
Ivan briefly told him about the fact that he had spotted Chino pretending to be asleep and quietly casting a spell, but Harry couldn't believe it.
"Professor Chino? How is this possible? ”
"Then Hermione... Why is Snape also seen chanting incantations? Ron didn't believe me.
"It's obvious that one of them wants to save you by chanting a counter-spell, and if it's Chino who saves you, then he won't have to hide like this at all!" Ivan explained it to them.
"Maybe Professor Chino is afraid of Snape's revenge!" Harry stumbled.
In fact, listening to Ivan say this, Harry already believed it a little, but in his heart, Harry never accepted the possibility of Snape saving him.
Ron and Hermione were also suspicious, obviously every time they went to class, Snape's eyes and behavior were clearly wishing that Harry was dead!
Ivan sighed, and didn't make too many excuses for Snape, after all, the grievances and entanglements in it were too complicated, and it was better for the parties to tell them in person.
It can only be said that Snape has too much hatred in Gryffindor...
"Anyway, you should stay away from them this semester." Ivan could only remind in the end.
"But I'm far enough away from them! But some of them are still ready to kill me! Harry was very angry, he had been targeted by Snape since he entered Hogwarts, and now that Chino might want to murder him, Harry couldn't understand why so many people wanted to deal with him.
Harry calmed down after a moment of relief, and then the group told Ivan about the information they had gotten from Hagrid after the game, and Hermione finally summed it up.
"So, there must be one between Snape and Chino who wants to sneak through the three-headed dog-guarded trapdoor and find what Dumbledore is hiding inside."
"By the way, Ivan, do you know Nicol Lemay?" Hermione suddenly thought of something they had been figuring out all afternoon.
Ivan hesitated, not knowing whether he should let them know about the Philosopher's Stone at this time, but finally Ivan shook his head.
First, during the period when he was brewing potions, the more stable the better, and secondly, rashly destroying Dumbledore's savior cultivation plan could lead to serious consequences, and Ivan didn't want to be interviewed a second time.
Don't look at his brain occlusion has been raised to level two, but facing Dumbledore's soul capture is still far from enough.
As for whether Chino will get the Philosopher's Stone with this time difference? Ivan is not worried,
Because Dumbledore, the old slippery head, hadn't put the Mirror of Eris in yet, so he wouldn't put it in until Dumbledore was sure that Harry could pass the test of the Mirror of Eris.
What the hell is it for Chino to find the Philosopher's Stone now...
Seeing that Ivan didn't know who Nicol Lemay was, Hermione, Harry and the others were a little disappointed, but they quickly discussed their brain-opening speculations.
Ivan, on the other hand, has no interest in the Philosopher's Stone that he can't get, and he only cares about Hagrid's dragon egg being cooked now... Ah no, is it hatched in the end....
However, in terms of time, it may not have been obtained yet, and Ivan decided to prepare the potion materials during this time.
Two days later, Ivan quickly found a moment to take a pleasant break from a boring Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
That's enough time for him to make a trip to Hogsmeade...
After repeatedly checking on the map that there was no one next to the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade, Ivan tapped his wand on the statue of the One-Eyed Witch and whispered "Left and right separation".
There was a slight noise, and the statue's hunchback separated from the main body, revealing an irregular passageway, and Ivan swung his wand and used the Light Charm to dive into the short, narrow secret passage.
