Ivan's words made Hermione completely stunned,

At the age of thirteen, she had never come across the word killing, let alone imagined what it would be like to have the head of an enemy cut off...

Hermione bit her lower lip, trying to say that she could do it, but the words were stuck in her mouth, and a hazy mist filled her eyes...

"You're scared, aren't you?" Ivan was a cruel blow to Hermione's self-confidence. "But those dark wizards are only more terrifying than I say!"

He knew very well that making it clear now would only hit Hermione's confidence, but if she really got Hermione involved in the battle, it would be tantamount to pushing her to the brink of death!

Ivan felt that it was difficult to win against that group of dark wizards at the same time, and he had to use the right venue and the power of the Invisibility Cloak, not to mention Hermione, who had little combat experience.

If she were involved, it would probably be a dead death.

Ivan didn't have the energy to distract from protecting Hermione...

"So you see? I'll just give it to the black-robed wizards later. Ivan spoke.

"But there are so many of them!" Hermione was very worried, and couldn't help but suggest out loud. "Otherwise, let's leave with your mother, we can go to Hogwarts, those dark wizards won't dare to go anywhere!"

"And we can ask Professor Dumbledore for help..."Hermione racked her brains for ideas.

"You don't know my mother, she won't go to Hogwarts." Ivan shook his head and vetoed Hermione's proposal.

Althea and Dumbledore were very uneasy to deal with, and they were furious just by mentioning the other party, and they were afraid that they would rather die in battle than seek Dumbledore's help.

"Anyway, don't worry too much...", Ivan looked at Hermione, who looked worried, and said in a relaxed tone. As you said, there's never anything I can't do... Isn't it? It's the same this time! ”

That's not what I meant!

Hermione glared at Ivan dissatisfied, but didn't mention anything about dealing with the dark wizards.

Ivan's words just now made her realize that she was weak, and if she forcibly joined the war, she might not only not be able to help, but also drag Ivan down...

"That's... I'll be watching you here. Hermione hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Yes!" Ivan nodded, finally relieved, he didn't want Hermione to be hurt by his own affairs.

Ivan then turned his attention to the dark magic shop in the distance,

In the context of history... Ivan tries to parse the message left by his future self,

Does it mean that you don't want to change and just wait for them here? Everything goes with the flow, covering the truth with illusions only at key points?

Ivan frowned, he didn't like to wait passively, he still preferred to take the initiative in comparison.

At the same time, Ivan also noticed that Althea still maintained her previous movements, holding her cheek with her right hand, looking at the clock hanging on the wall intently, and she didn't know how long she had been in a daze...

It seems that there are no customers in the store during this time, and Althea is bored enough.

But why keep looking at the clock? Does this make any sense?

Just as Ivan was thinking, a slight chime rang from the clock on the wall.

What surprised Ivan even more was that Aisyah, who had been distracted, made a move.

At this time, in the magic shop, Aisya looked at the time displayed on the clock and pointed to four o'clock, her face showed a little expectation, and she muttered to herself.

"It's almost time, isn't it? Wouldn't it be a little early to go now? ”

It's better to be earlier...

Althea stood up and walked out of the magic shop, grabbing the purple cloak placed in the doorway and draping it over herself, then reaching out with her wand pointing behind her.

With a bang, the door of the magic shop closed directly...

"Apparition shifting!" Aithea didn't linger too long at the door, waved her wand again, and disappeared straight into place.

On the high ground in the distance, Ivan, who was watching this scene, was directly stunned, the person he needed to protect disappeared in front of him?

"Where did she go? Why left? Ivan muttered to himself in confusion.

Now that there is only a little more than an hour left before the Black Magic Shop is attacked, and Althea is gone, who can those black-robed wizards attack then?

Ivan was a little anxious, although Althea was not here, he could calmly turn the magic shop into a trap to seduce those black-robed wizards, but what if Althea and the others would come back?

"Four o'clock... Where can she go at this time? Ivan remembered that Althea had been checking the time before, and looked through the window at the clock on the wall.

"She's supposed to be on her way to King's Cross!" Hermione said suddenly.

King's Cross Station? Ivan turned his head to look at Hermione, and realized that it was the day of the Hogwarts students' holiday, and the train would arrive at King's Cross Station in London in the evening!

There's a good chance that Althea is going to pick him up!

"But it shouldn't be right, I didn't wait for her at the station in the first place!" Ivan frowned, he remembered very well that after he got off the train, he waited for a long time at King's Cross station and did not see Althea.

It was precisely because of this that he had not thought about this aspect at all before...

Unless, the past has changed!

Or rather, Althea didn't go to King's Cross station at all...

Ivan immediately decided to check it out for himself, and said to Hermione.

"Hold on to me, let's go to King's Cross Station!"

Tumbledown Alley was too dangerous, and even with the Cloak of Invisibility, Ivan wouldn't dare leave Hermione here alone.

"Yes!" Hermione nodded, grappling Ivan tightly.

Ivan asked Hermione to tug at the corner of the Cloak of Invisibility so as not to leave it here when teleporting, and waved his wand in his right hand.

"Apparition shifting!"

With a burst of spatial transformation, the two figures disappeared into Tumbledown Alley.

......

At the same time, Ivan and Hermione appeared in the corner of Kingdom Cross Station, and because they were wearing invisibility cloaks, even in this crowded place, they did not cause panic.

Once Ivan stood still, he looked around and saw many acquaintances, including Hermione's father, Mr. Granger, and Ron's parents, Arthur and Molly, waiting in front of the station of Nine and Three-Quarters.

What about Althea? Isn't she here?

Ivan glanced around, and just as he was wondering, he saw Althea in a purple cloak walk in through the door of the station....

Only then did Ivan remember that Aisya without the Invisibility Cloak could not teleport to the inside of the station like them, so he naturally had to be a step slower.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that Aisya was really in the station, Ivan was completely confused, so why didn't he meet her in the first place?
