Chapter 2: The Legend of the Academy
Ivan was about to ask again, but the cheerful applause from the audience had already begun, and Ivan had to press down his stomach full of questions, and after placing the sorting hat on the four-corner table, he walked down the steps.
Seeing Ivan come down, several old students in Gryffindor's seat moved to the side, making room for a vacant seat.
A pair of twin brothers with fiery red hair who looked the same and pressed Ivan to the empty seat in the middle, and one of them spoke in an exaggerated tone.
"Oh my God, I bet you're the first to be the first to dare to give Professor McGonagall such a faceless face at the freshman sorting ceremony, this is really..."
"What is it?" Ivan wondered.
"How brave it was!" The other of the twin brothers picked up the conversation.
"You are destined to become a legend in the academy!" The two glanced at each other and said in unison.
Hearing the answers of the two, Ivan almost didn't catch up in one breath, the brain circuits of the two brothers were really strange, and he couldn't understand it.
"Well, thank you," Ivan politely thanked the twins for their "blessings" and asked.
"My name is Ivan Hals, what about you?"
"I'm George Weasley, and that's Fred over there," one of the twin brothers spoke first, winking at Ivan. "You'd better remember, don't admit your mistake the next time we meet, Fred hates that people call him wrong..."
"Okay, George, I don't think I'll be mistaken." Ivan knew well about the trick of the two brothers swapping identities, so naturally he would not be fooled, and turned to the other of the twin brothers.
"You're right, Fred?"
Fred, who was still thinking of playing a new life with his brother, was stunned, and George, who had talked to Ivan before, was also stunned for a while, and asked for a long time.
"Wait, how do you know I'm George?"
"It's easy to guess, isn't it? Who among the freshmen doesn't know that you Weasley brothers love pranks. Of course, Ivan couldn't say that he had seen it from a book, so he could only make an excuse to fool around.
"Oh my God, are we that famous? Even the freshmen know about it? George and Fred were pleasantly surprised, feeling that the battle against Hogwarts rules had finally come to fruition after so many years.
"Poof~" Ron, who was feasting on the side, almost squirted out the food in his mouth, when did his two older brothers become so famous among the new students at Hogwarts? How did he not know?
George and Fred were a little curious about what Ivan was whispering to the Sorting Hat on stage, it was the first time they had seen someone talk to the hat for so long.
Ivan, on the other hand, was fooled with half-truths, after all, knowing dark arts in Gryffindor House was not something to brag about.
By the way, Ivan took the opportunity to turn the conversation to George and Fred's adventures in Hogwarts school, and inquired about the location and information of various secret passages in Hogwarts.
Ivan, who had read the original book, naturally knew that George and Fred had a magical map that could show most of Hogwarts' secret passages and mark the names of the people inside.
With it, you can move freely through this magical castle without worrying about being discovered by professors and administrators.
Although Ivan had read the original book in his previous life and knew many secrets of Hogwarts, after all, he couldn't remember it, and this map was still very useful.
And the Weasley brothers, in the face of Ivan, who is like a little fan brother, naturally revealed a lot of information unsuspectingly, and even wanted to recruit Ivan to join in the prank.
However, nothing about the magic map was revealed.
Ivan is not surprised, after all, it is the first time to meet, even if the conversation is good, it is impossible to reveal such an important secret, Ivan is just trying to brush up some goodwill now to pave the way for the future.
However, at this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly sounded in Ivan's head.
[Ding, the host obtains secret information, and the task is being generated...

Current Progress: 2/100
Description: The curiosity to explore the unknown is what every little wizard should have, the thousand-year-old castle contains countless secrets, please explore and understand them, when the exploration progress reaches a certain level, a certain degree of reward will be given according to the performance. 】
Ivan couldn't stop being stunned when he suddenly received the news, and the conversation with the Weasley brothers was interrupted.
Goldfinger?
Ivan reacted quickly, followed by ecstasy.
Having inexplicably traveled to Hogwarts before, Ivan certainly had the joy and happiness of living again, but he also had a sense of uneasiness about suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment, but he was forced down by Ivan because of the need for disguise.
And now it's much more reassuring.
Ivan casually dismissed the Weasley brothers, who were still about to continue chatting about their adventures, and calmed down to focus on groping for this new golden finger, and after trying various methods in the novel that could call the system out, a series of messages finally appeared in front of Ivan's eyes.

....】
The information column that appeared in front of him was what Ivan expected, but part of the content in the information column was somewhat unexpected by Ivan.
"The Fear Charm? Magic item crafting? Ivan said to himself slowly, as a little wizard who had just crossed over and hadn't even fully figured out the situation, these two abilities naturally wouldn't have been brought by him.
Thinking of the memories that came to his mind when he was on stage just now, Ivan suddenly understood that it should be occupied by him, this little wizard named Ivan Hals, who had learned magic before entering school.
This is not uncommon among young wizards, considering that even Hermione Granger, who was born in a Muggle family, was able to master some simple magic by self-teaching before entering school, let alone those who were born into wizarding families themselves.
However, the magic of fear, Ivan thought about it for a long time but had no impression, and it didn't seem to be the magic that appeared in the original book.
Ivan doesn't think it's strange, after all, Harry Potter is just a novel, and it is only a corner of the wizarding world that is displayed, and it is impossible to show all the magic in every detail, and the black magic that appears in the original text is even rarer, and the real dark wizard cannot only have so many black magic.
After all, in the forbidden area of Hogwarts alone, I don't know how many dark arts books there are.
Of course, Ivan is more curious or worried about the family situation of the original owner, and the family that can teach his children black magic before the start of school is obviously not good.
Ivan is very worried about his own safety, if it is discovered that Ivan Hals, a little wizard, is occupied by a soul from another world, God knows what kind of dark magic awaits him...
