Chapter 576: Crouch is so much better than a guinea pig!

After dinner, Ivan returned to the Gryffindor common room with Harry and Ron, while Hermione went to the library alone to read a book, and she felt the need to learn more about the history of house-elves.

"Ivan, do you want to go under the wizard flag?" As soon as Ron returned to the lounge, he took out the new wizard flag with great interest, ready to make a big move.

"No, you can play with Harry! He just needed to soothe his mind! Ivan directly rejected Ron's invitation and pushed the matter onto Harry, and then avoided the eyes of the two, opened the letter sent by Althea, and glanced at it casually.

[I received the letter you asked Dobby to bring, and the revisions have been given to Gleason, who probably understood what you meant, and promised me that there would be no more mistakes this time...... Before, we didn't think it through, and we didn't care about the new pure-blood wizards, and we will refer to more people's opinions for this revision......]

Seeing the contents of the letter, Ivan was confused, and couldn't figure out what his revisions had made Gleason appreciate, and what did it have to do with pure-blood wizards?

His intention was to get Gleason to delete some of the New Century Manifesto, but nothing else.

"Can't you give me a stop?" Ivan muttered to himself with a headache, reached out and rubbed his forehead, and went on to read the entire letter.

The second half of the letter is different from the first half, it is all about some trivial things, but to Ivan's surprise, it specifically mentions that this year Hogwarts will hold a triwizard tournament with Beauxbatons and Durmstrand.

The information given was very detailed, even making a list of five referees, and speculating that one of the levels of the match might be a dragon - as there was definite information that the Ministry of Magic was discussing a few milder dragons from a dragon farm in Romania.

Finally, Althea also regretted mentioning that this tournament is only allowed to participate in young wizards over the age of seventeen, otherwise she believes that there is absolutely no second candidate for Hogwarts except Ivan.

"Strange, how did they know about Triwizard Tournament?"

Ivan raised his eyebrows and was a little puzzled, and then after thinking about it, he understood that it must be the news from Doggett's side!

When discussing targeting the Ministry of Magic, Doggett volunteered to say that some of his friends were in the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic and could get first-hand information to ensure that they were in an advantageous position in terms of information.

Now it seems that Doggett's intelligence network is still somewhat useful, and he can actually find out the specific content of the game.

After reading the contents of the letter, Ivan folded it and cast a spell to burn the envelope to ashes, so as not to be accidentally seen by others. Then Ivan went back to his bedroom, took out a pen and paper from a drawer, and wrote a reply carefully.

After accidentally forgetting to reply to Hermione, Ivan did a deep soul-searching, and he knew that it was easy for him to forget about these things when he was busy, so it was better not to delay.

"Maca, send it to my mother!" Once the letter was ready, Ivan opened the owl cage, tied it to Maca's feet, and commanded.

As a maverick owl, Maca doesn't like to stay in a public owl shelter, where she fights other owls.

In addition, Maca is very smart and does not scream, so Ivan usually leaves it in the bedroom.

"Goo~" After receiving the order, Maca nodded lazily.

It has been in a cage for months, has not received a single mission to deliver letters, and lives a leisurely life of eating and sleeping and eating every day, so much so that it almost forgets that it can fly.

"You're eating too fat, Maca!" Ivan watched Maca flap her wings and almost didn't fly, and was slightly worried about whether the owl would fall from the sky halfway through.

However, Dobby was supposed to cook and wash dishes at home, and he couldn't sense his call if he was too far away, so Ivan had no choice but to use this primitive way of sending letters.

Just right... It's time for this fat owl to get some exercise......

Seeing Maca's figure disappear into the distance, Ivan reached into his pocket and took out the damaged meniscus pendant.

Ivan stroked the conspicuous crack in the pendant and thought of Nick Lemay's words.

Of course, he knew what the alchemist meant by letting him go back to Hogwarts.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and the others are all his friends, and if they are in danger, he will naturally come up with the idea of protecting each other, and as long as this protective emotion is injected into them, he should be able to repair the meniscus pendant.

Ivan also tried to use his brain to achieve all this before, such as imagining a moment of extreme danger, wanting to stimulate this emotion, but unfortunately it was useless!

"Inject pure and strong emotions...", Ivan muttered to himself, but he had no clue, so he had to put the matter down first.

There's more to do this semester, and repairing the crescent moon pendant is just one of them!

In addition, he also needs to obtain enough Legend Points to complete the next bloodline fusion in order to deal with the crisis of the Dark Lord's resurrection in the future.

In the end, the practice of reminding must not be left behind, and Ivan doesn't want to experience it again next year...

Only by thoroughly mastering the mind and having the ability to look at each other and read memories can he calmly restrain those brain monsters who have a lot on their minds.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ivan suddenly found that he was probably busy this semester.

……

In the next few days, Ivan temporarily gave up the idea of tracking down Moody, and devoted himself to study and research, ordering Dobby to buy some guinea pigs for him to practice Mind Taking.

In fact, Ivan's original intended "guinea pig" was Barty Crouch Jr., so that whether it was to obtain information or practice magic, it would be perfect!

Not to mention that Barty Crouch Jr. is also a wizard and is much better than a real guinea pig!

But since the other party did not pretend to be Moody's to sneak in, Ivan could only dismiss this idea in disappointment.

Hogwarts was also calmer than he had imagined, nothing had happened, the bad signs didn't seem to exist, even Harry had slackened off a lot, and the strange dream had been forgotten by him.

"Great, there's Professor Moody's Defence Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon!"

On Thursday morning, Ron, who was checking the class schedule, shouted in surprise that he had been looking forward to this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class after talking to Moody in the Great Hall the other day.

In particular, George and Fred, who had already taken classes, quietly revealed to him that Moody's classes would be very "exciting"!
