After chatting all the way, the two soon returned to Tumbledown Alley, where Althea drew her wand and tapped it on the closed door, which opened.

"Alright, you can sit upstairs for a while, and I'll go cook first."

Althea took off her purple cloak and hung it in the doorway, then turned her head to look at Ivan, and couldn't help but say again. "I haven't seen you for a while, why have you lost so much weight, haven't you eaten well at school?"

"It's okay.." Ivan shook his head and said casually. "Mainly I miss you!"

"I've never seen you send a letter home! Is that what you think of me? Aisya tapped Ivan's forehead lightly and scolded with a smile.

Ivan took advantage of the situation and took the initiative to hug Althea.

"What's wrong?" Althea was a little surprised, and stroked Ivan's hair with her right hand, wondering if he had been wronged in Hogwarts.

Aisya was about to ask, when she suddenly felt a dizziness in her brain, faintly heard something, and lost consciousness in the next second, her body went limp, and she passed out in Ivan's arms.

"Faint!" Ivan spoke, putting away the wand that was on Althea's abdomen, and watched Althea mutter. "Let's get some sleep first..."

Ivan's face was full of apologies, he didn't want Althea to participate in the future battle, after all, as long as Althea participated in the battle, there was a possibility of death...

And he didn't want to take any risks!

Therefore, Ivan had to knock Althea unconscious, otherwise it would be unlikely that Althea would hide and let him fight alone.

Fortunately, most magic items cannot achieve a defensive effect without the user's active activation, which is why he easily subdued Althea.

"Hermione!" Ivan shouted into the empty space, he couldn't see the disguise of the cloak of invisibility, but he knew that Hermione would definitely follow him.

Sure enough, not far from him, the little brown-haired witch took off her invisibility cloak and appeared in front of him.

"Ivan, what are we going to do now?" Hermione asked aloud as she glanced at Althea, who was unconscious in Ivan's arms.

"You take Althea to the basement, put on the Cloak of Invisibility, and don't come out no matter what happens or what you hear, understand?" Ivan said.

Hermione pursed her lips and hesitated,

"Remember? You just promised me! Ivan said solemnly.

"Hmm...," Hermione gritted her teeth and nodded.

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, and just hugged Althea to open the trapdoor in the basement, and Hermione silently followed behind Ivan.

Ivan stopped all the way to the practice room and placed Aisya in the corner, the invisibility cloak was wide enough to cover the two of them, so even if those black-robed wizards found the basement, it would be impossible to find them.

Ivan then walked out of the basement and looked at the wide variety of magical items on the shelves of the store, thinking about the battle to come, so he gathered up most of the useless ones and stacked them in the basement studio.

lest you be damaged in vain when you fight... That's all money!

After all this, Ivan turned his head, only to find that Hermione had come out of the practice room at some point, blocking the door of the studio.

"Why did you get out?" Ivan frowned.

Hermione silently took a few steps forward, rushed up, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly, and it continued like this for a while, the little witch raised her head and stared at Ivan with brown eyes, her body trembling slightly.

"Ivan, you're going to be fine, right?"

"Don't worry!" Ivan said in an unusually relaxed tone. "Do you know what I saw when I came in that day? The underground is full of the corpses of those black-robed wizards, so it must not be me who died! ”

"Is that so? That's great! Hermione whispered, but didn't let go of her hand.

"Alright, I'll get up there and set it up, they'll be there soon." Ivan reluctantly comforted the worried Hermione and sent her to hide quickly.

After Hermione left, the relaxed expression on Ivan's face turned heavy, it was a full ten dark wizards!

Go head-to-head and have little chance of winning!

But he wasn't without his advantages, this was his own dark magic shop, and he was familiar with it.

In addition, there are a lot of trigger-type dark magic items in the store, and he only needs to inject some magic to make these items temporarily activate and set up traps.

This might help him get rid of some of his enemies...

Thinking of this, Ivan put on an invisibility cloak and began to arrange, and used Transfiguration to fill in the missing space on the shelves, and then looked at the clock, it should have been very close to the time when he heard the first explosion in Tumble Alley....

"Divine Guard!" Ivan waved his wand, and for a moment wisps of white mist continued to pour out from the tip of the wand, filling the air, transforming into an illusory unicorn shadow.

Ivan's mind moved, and the illusory body of the unicorn shadow passed through the ceiling and stopped on the second floor.

There was a knock at the door, and Ivan quickly retreated to the corner of the first floor, silently watching.

Knock knock...

The slightly dark magic shop was quiet, except for the heavy knocking on the door.

Perhaps impatient, after a while, the closed door was forcibly blown open!

A group of black-robed wizards rushed in from the door, the leader was about forty years old, slightly chubby, holding a wand in his hand, and his eagle-like eyes carefully looked around.

There are a lot of wooden shelves in the shop, and there are a lot of magic items neatly arranged on them, but it seems that this place is empty, otherwise it should have attracted the attention of the other party just now.

The middle-aged wizard at the head frowned, "Ralph, are you sure you're not mistaken?" She wouldn't have come back yet, would she? ”

"No way, I saw her walk in with the baby! So it must still be here! Maybe it's because we're more hidden...", the dark wizard named Ralph shook his head and swore an oath.

The hostess of this magic shop, Aisyah, had previously cast an anti-illusion spell in the magic shop to guard against them, and they had already tried it, but they couldn't teleport directly to the inside of the shop anyway.

And this kind of spell is not a friend or foe, and it is not a matter of time to break it...

(PS: If you're careful, you should be able to notice that in the first few chapters, Althea went out and then used Phantom Shifting, and in the other two hundred and sixty-ninth chapters, Ivan found a lot of magic props in the studio, I hope you haven't forgotten...) ）
