Chapter 30: Unexpected letter (2 in 4000 words)
"Ivan, what you did tonight is amazing!" After everyone left, Harry, who had been squeezed to the edge in the crowd just now, stepped forward and gave Ivan a big hug.
"Perhaps." Ivan shrugged, then explained. "Actually, you shouldn't be so exaggerated. I took a lot of effort to deal with the monsters."
It's not that Ivan is humble, but the news has been distorted. In one of the versions that Ivan heard, the twelve-inch tall monster even became twenty feet tall!
It's a big deal...
"Hey, come on, you are the hero of Gryffindor. We only saw you killing the trolls after saving Hermione. God, that was so fast." Ron hammered Ivan's chest. , Said with a smile.
"Besides, we just mentioned the passing, who knew it would be like this?" Harry said that they didn't say anything about it.
"Right, where's Hermione?" Ivan asked.
"I don't know, I saw it just now." Harry was also a little strange.
"You saved her. I didn't expect that she would not even thank her now." Ron said angrily.
"It should have happened temporarily." Ivan shook his head. Hermione is not such a person.
Because Hermione had taken all the punishment for her righteousness before, and the two of them had changed her, Harry and Ron also accepted Ivan's statement.
Next, Harry and Ron mysteriously took Ivan to see a package, which contained the brand new light wheel 2001, which was sent to Harry by Professor McGonagall this morning. Ivan will be in the book because of that. So I just missed it in the museum.
Even though he wasn't interested, seeing the excitement of the two men still boasted a few words out of conscience, and then hurriedly sent them to sleep.
Ivan, who was free, finally had time to look carefully at the rewards he received for killing the trolls.
【Blood Fusion Reagent (Potion Formula)
Required materials: dried nettles, epiphyllum, valerian, mussel parasitic berries, black veratrum petals, buckthorn, black bat cutin, mountain flower powder...
Special material: 150ml of active blood from Miracle Creatures (Note: If the blood leaves the body for more than three days, the activity will be greatly reduced)
Prerequisite: Potions Level 6 (Note: Potions Level 4 is required under the experience card status)]
Looking at the series of names in the demand material, Ivan felt a little dizzy. Is this too much?
And many of them are high-grade potion materials, and the price is amazing. Even if he runs the risk of being caught to Hogsmeade Village or Diagon Alley to buy, the Jin Jialong on his body is far from enough.
The preposition of the sixth level of potions makes Ivan frown, even though his potion has been upgraded to the level of three, but the higher the level, the slower the increase, and the higher the level of three, the difficulty of each level is increased. It's even harder than going from level zero to level three!
Fortunately, Ivan was relieved to see the small print at the back. At the fourth level of Potions, he would still have a chance to work hard, but he didn't expect that the refining of potions under the experience card mode would also have a bonus.
The best thing for Ivan to get is the blood of the magic creature. Despite the limitation that the activity would decrease in three days in vitro, Ivan knew that Hagrid would hatch a little dragon soon.
A grown-up dragon, Ivan can't beat him, but isn't this just born to be bullied by him?
It's easy to draw some blood or something... as long as you prepare everything else before the dragon is sent away.
咚咚...咚咚...
When Ivan was thinking a little fascinated, he faintly heard a noise from outside the window, turned his head and looked over, but it was a black-gray owl outside the window tapping the glass with his beak, and a rope tied to his leg, as if tied. Holding something.
Gula?
A word appeared in Ivan's mind. Ivan guessed that this might be the name of this owl.
Stepping forward and opening the window, the black-gray owl flew in quickly, and fell on Ivan’s shoulders and shook his body, because the entire dormitory had gone to the welcome party for Ivan before, so this poor little thing Forced to blow the night wind all night.
Ivan is no longer in the mood to care about the safety of an owl at this time, and all his attention is on the envelope hanging on its leg.
because it clearly says Ivan Halsche,
Ivan untied the rope, grabbed the envelope in his hand but didn't have the courage to open it. The expression on his face changed again and again, and finally he sighed.
He knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it would come so soon.
Ivan hesitated for a while and opened the envelope. What made him feel a little relieved was that the content of the letter was very ordinary. He only asked him about his current situation at Hogwarts and which college he was assigned to. It's Irene Hals, her mother.
There are also three Jin Jialongs as a gift. There is a small note underneath, which says that he can send a letter back when he is short of money.
But the more concerned about the content of the letter, the more Ivan feels guilty and worried...
Needless to say, I am guilty. Although this crossing was not under his control, it was inexplicably replaced the other's child halfway. Of course, Ivan could not accept it with peace of mind.
Worry comes from Dumbledore’s ambiguous evaluation of his mother, and the conspicuous black magic fear curse in the system bar...
Thinking of the fear curse, Ivan was somewhat speechless. Generally speaking, a normal mother would teach the fear curse this dangerous black magic before going to school.
And the teaching process can never be cheerful and peaceful, otherwise, he would not feel the emotion of fear when he recalled before. Obviously, this mother personally let her child experience it for a quick success.
These unknowns all made Ivan feel uneasy, which made Ivan an urgent need to have at least enough strength to protect himself before going home and leaving school.
The fastest way to increase strength is to make this newly acquired blood fusion reagent. So even if Ivan felt that the three Jin Jialong in the letter were a bit hot, he finally put it away.
No way, he is so short of money now...
"Cuckoo~" The black Owl Gula who delivered the letter had been waiting for a long time to see Ivan lingering for a while, and had to tap Ivan's head with his beak as a reminder.
Ivan also woke up from his contemplation. Now the most urgent thing should be to reply to the letter. While giving the food box of his own Maca to Gula to make it a little more patient, Ignored Maca’s protest and picked it up tangledly. Quill pen.
After pondering for a long time, Ivan wrote down on a blank piece of paper that he was assigned to Gryffindor, as well as some interesting things that happened in the school recently.
Ivan originally planned to mention the troll matter, but before sending the letter, he deleted all relevant content.
Not long after enrolling, he only challenged the trolls. Ivan estimated that his mother's first reaction should be to run to school in horror to question Dumbledore, not to be proud of him.
It is better to keep a low profile, don't cause trouble...
After a period of revisions, deletions, deletions, and deletions, Ivan closed the envelope and sealed it so that the Owl Gula returned the same way.
After all this was done, the sky was a little bit brighter, and Ivan pulled the quilt and lay on the bed.
In a daze, Ivan suddenly thought of a question. The surprise Dumbledore said was referring to the welcome party or this letter?
...
The next morning, Ivan, who had only slept for less than two hours, reluctantly got up to class. They had the same experience and had been yawning, as well as Harry and Ron.
But after the three of them got up and looked at each other's thick dark circles, they couldn't help but laughed, and their spirits were also refreshed a lot.
After a whole night of fermentation, Ivan’s killing of the troll seems to have spread throughout the school, causing Ivan to hear whispers no matter where he goes.
Ivan couldn't help speeding up his pace, and the situation got better when he arrived at the metamorphosis classroom.
Hermione came earlier than the three of them, and she had already sat quietly on the right side and turned the pages of the book, and the space beside her was full.
The little witches of Gryffindor were chattering not knowing what they were discussing, and they asked Hermione from time to time. The latter looked very impatient. It was only after seeing Ivan that his face showed joy. , Put down the book and get ready to come.
"Okay, kids, I will return to my seat when I start class now!" Professor McGonagall walked in just then, frowning while watching the messy classroom.
Ivan, Harry, and Ron quickly found three empty seats and sat down, and Hermione had no choice but to sit back.
Professor McGonagall glanced at Ivan consciously, then cleared his throat, and said to the little wizards who had already sat down.
"I think I should have said at the beginning of school that Transfiguration will be one of the most complicated and dangerous magic you can learn at Hogwarts. As long as you can learn it well, Transfiguration will be enough to solve you. Most of the problems encountered."
"You should have heard that, just yesterday, Mr. Hals successfully killed a troll in the corridors of Hogwarts, relying on a superb Transfiguration spell and excellent mind!"
"For this, Professor Dumbledore added a full twenty points to Gryffindor College!" Professor McGonagall added at last.
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience, and there was a burst of discussion, and Ivan suddenly became the focus of everyone.
Although many little wizards had heard of this news before, it came from Harry and Ron's mouth after all. It may not be credible, but now it's a stone hammer!
was suddenly praised by Professor McGonagall, but Ivan was not happy at all, because in his experience, there would usually be a **** after this, which is in line with the speaking process of ordinary teachers.
As expected, Ivan then heard Professor McGonagall continue.
"But... I want to warn you seriously that the troll is a very powerful and dangerous creature. It is definitely not something a little wizard who has not graduated can overcome! Hals is the only example, even teaching Professor Chino in your Defense Against the Dark Arts class was so frightened that he passed out at the Halloween party!"
After saying this, Professor McGonagall's eyes became sharp, and he continued.
"If you let me know that someone else is doing similar dangerous things, I will definitely advise Professor Dumbledore to expel him."
"And even Hals, defeating the trolls is not as easy as you think." After speaking, Professor McGonagall glanced around and noticed that the little wizards underneath were all silenced before looking at Ivan. He gave him a look and motioned him to show it.
Ivan immediately stood up knowingly, with a solemn expression and a deep voice.
"Yes, professor, I swear, the troll is definitely the most difficult opponent I have encountered in the past 11 years...no one!"
As soon as Ivan finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from below, because many smart little wizards had heard the meaning hidden in Ivan's words.
As a first-year little wizard who is only eleven years old this year, in their opinion, the giant monster should be the first opponent Ivan encounters, and of course the most difficult one.
Professor McGonagall is very dissatisfied with Ivan's perfunctory attitude. She is more inclined to talk about Ivando's fear and fear when facing trolls, and the thrilling process, so as to give these eager children a shot.
Ivan shrugged his shoulders unceasingly, and admired Professor McGonagall’s brilliant methods First, he used his defeat of the trolls to arouse the enthusiasm of the little wizards to learn the transformation spell. The speech sets the tone for this matter and puts an end to rumors that are getting more and more exaggerated.
After all, blocking is worse than sparse. Instead of concealing this matter and letting everyone guess, it is better to use it as a model to promote the positive effect. Use expulsion as a warning to prevent some little wizards from having the idea of "he can do it, and I can do it" and go further and further on the road to death.
In the end, it was to suppress his reputation, so that he would not become proud and complacent after defeating the troll.
The only poor thing is Chino, who was used by McGonagall as a backdrop for the strength of the trolls. After today, he will probably become the laughing stock of Hogwarts.
Ivan, who was far more than eleven years old in his heart, guessed Professor McGonagall’s thoughts in a short period of time.
If possible, Ivan would not mind cooperating with Professor McGonagall. After all, low-key is the kingly way. Unfortunately, there are some doubts in his process of killing trolls. The more he says, the more mistakes he makes.
Otherwise, Professor McGonagall would have to ask him again, what is he trying to deform a bunch of sharp iron thorns?
So, Professor McGonagall carefully prepared the opening remarks, and under Ivan's uncooperative attitude, only half of the expectations were achieved.
This led to the next class, Professor McGonagall solemnly reminded Ivan that if she answers questions without her consent again in class, she may consider using the Silence Charm so that Ivan can shut up for a while and give it to others. An opportunity for the little wizards to perform.
Ivan looked at his double-digit grade point and the potion that was only 731 points short of proficiency to upgrade. He could only say with difficulty that he might consider the professor’s valuable advice and play fair. , Try to raise your hands to speak.
