The first White Lord of Hogwarts - Chapter 63
“Today’s study ends here. Everyone remember the trick of the magic wand trajectory, and it will be much easier to cast any magic in the future.”
Soon, Ivan’s class for today ended:”The Q&A time begins. If you have any questions, you can ask them now.”
Parvati did not ask questions immediately, but cast magic again according to what Ivan said today.
“I succeeded!!”
Looking at the levitation spell she cast, Parvati was very excited.
“No wonder your levitation spell failed, Parvati.”
Hermione was impressed by Ivan’s magical knowledge:”So this is the problem.”
“Ivan is indeed worthy of his name. He solved the problem so quickly.”
Especially after seeing the battle that night, Ivan’s image was infinitely magnified in the little witch’s heart.
Many times, Ivan’s words were even more important than those authoritative books.
“Then, shall we go back and rest?”
Harry looked at the time and found that Ivan finished class half an hour earlier than usual.
This was different from his usual habits.
So Harry thought that Ivan might have other plans.
“Harry, it seems that you are the one with the best observation among all people.”
Harry just smiled when he received Ivan’s compliment.
The longer he was in contact with Ivan, the more he understood the character of this friend.
Ivan was very gentle and humble.
He just liked to make some jokes and tease you occasionally.
For example, Ivan often teased Harry about Malfoy, saying that they might have been a couple in their previous life, otherwise how could they fall in love and hate each other as soon as they met.
I admit that they killed each other, but what the hell is love?
“So, what should we do next?”
Hermione claims to be the person who knows Ivan best, but since Harry came, our savior has a tendency to replace her and become the person Ivan trusts the most. The little witch has a strong sense of crisis and dares not let Ivan be alone with Harry recently.
“Come to think of it, we have been in Hogwarts for almost two months, right?”
Seeing the four little wizards nod, Ivan lowered his voice and said,”Have you ever taken a night tour?”
“Night outing?!”
Hermione exclaimed, but she immediately covered her mouth, then carefully checked the door to make sure it was closed:”Ivan, night outings are strictly prohibited. We can’t do anything that violates school rules, or we will be deducted points!”
“Hermione, are you afraid of losing points?”
“This…”
Hermione was indeed afraid, but she didn’t want to appear cowardly in front of Ivan.
She was a witch who wanted to protect Ivan and fight alongside him.
It was just a mere point deduction, and she, Hermione, was not afraid!
“Wait a minute.”
Harry asked curiously,”Ivan, are you going to take us on a night tour?”
“Why not?”
Ivan noticed that Harry and Parvati’s eyes lit up when they heard about the night tour.
But Neville, the Gryffindor swordmaster, clearly needed more experience.
He was already worried about what would happen if he was caught before the night tour even started.
“cough cough”
After speaking tough, Hermione’s natural fear of school rules once again took over the upper hand:”I think we need to think long-term, at least be prepared to avoid being caught for night outings.”
“That’s right.”
Hermione looked at Ivan:”If we are caught, will Professor McGonagall handle it impartially?”
The subtext is, Ivan, you are Professor McGonagall’s favorite student.
Will the older cat let us go for your sake?
“Better not get caught by Professor McGonagall”
“Even if it falls into Snape’s hands, it is better than falling into Professor McGonagall’s hands.”
Ivan said awkwardly:”Everyone in Hogwarts knows that our dean is ruthless and impartial!”
“What should I do then?”
“Of course, I won’t be discovered!”
Ivan smiled and said,”As long as I’m not discovered during night tours, I won’t violate school rules.”
“Not to be discovered…”
Hermione held her forehead helplessly.
There was no other way. Hermione felt that what Ivan said made sense and she could not find any ground for rebuttal.
What could she do?
Ivan was going, did she have any other choice except to go with him?
“Add me one!”
Harry was eager to try:”George and Freyr have been telling me this more than once.”
“”Can you take me with you?”
Parvati said timidly, but in fact she was very excited:”Actually, I’ve always wanted to go on a night tour…”
How could the little lion of Gryffindor resist the temptation of adventure? The two of them couldn’t wait.
“Neville?”
In the end, Neville was the only one left.
Ivan looked over and the boy nodded firmly:”I’ll go with you.”
“very good”
“Then, it’s time to make plans and goals.”
Ivan said:”Tonight, we will go back to our respective dormitories and gather in the common room after 11 o’clock.”
“Where are we going?”
“On the eighth floor, next to the tapestry where the troll beat the fool Barnabas with his club.”
Ivan named a location, but the young wizards didn’t understand the meaning of this place.
However, those who have read Harry Potter should know that there is a mysterious room at this location, namely the Room of Requirement.
After Ivan’s teaching, the progress of the young wizards was visible to the naked eye.
He felt that it was time to increase the amount of training and start actual combat sparring.
Hogwarts does not have a tutorial on this.
No, it should have been, but because of a noseless curse, the course was directly killed.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is actually a practical exercise, allowing young wizards to use magic to solve various dangers and troubles that they may encounter in life.
But Professor Quirrell is a fake.
His class, let alone nutrition.
Ivan suspected that he did it on purpose, in order to lower the level of the young wizards in Hogwarts and reduce the difficulty of Voldemort conquering the British wizarding world.
Time passed quickly.
After the young wizards went back, Ivan chatted with Neville for a while, and then met with Hermione, Harry and Parvati in the public lounge.
“Are they all here?”
Ivan was very relieved about Hermione and Parvati.
But Harry was surprised to see that he could come out without making any noise.
“Ron and the others, no reaction?”
“Cough.”
Harry coughed awkwardly and said,”Well, Ron and the others sleep very deeply at night, and usually they can’t be woken up.”
“All right.”
Ivan didn’t know how to complain: Should I say that this year’s young wizards are really not vigilant?
But on second thought, this is Hogwarts, not the wild.
Everyone can be so reassured, it is the confidence that Hogwarts has given them.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Ivan cast an illusion spell on the four people.
With a cool breeze pouring down from their heads, the figures of the five people disappeared in the lounge.
“No, it’s gone?”
“I’m missing too!”
“Where are you guys?”
“Ouch, Harry, you stepped on my foot”
“Oh, sorry, Neville, I didn’t see that….”
Of the four young wizards, only Hermione remained calm and knew that this was the Disillusionment Charm.
In contrast, it was the first time that Harry and the others had seen this magic.
“Disillusionment spell, a spell that can make a person invisible.”
Hermione explained:”But this magic can’t completely erase the figure. If you get closer, others can actually see you.”
The Disillusionment spell is more like a chameleon’s transformation, it becomes transparent, but not completely invisible.
However, Hermione soon found something wrong.
“”What?”
Hermione was extremely shocked at this moment, because she found that she couldn’t see other people’s shadows at all.
You know, at such a close distance, it is impossible not to find the flaws of the Disillusionment Charm.
But the problem is that no matter how Hermione observes others and herself, she only gets one fact.————They really are invisible!
“Is this the Disillusionment Spell that you improved upon, Ivan?”
“Ah.” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Ivan did not hide anything and said frankly:”I slightly modified some details of this magic and optimized it.”
What do you mean by slightly modified?
Is this human language?
Optimizing the spell casually is simply against the will of heaven!
“As long as you don’t do strenuous exercise, my Disillusionment Charm will work like a real Invisibility Cloak, leaving no trace.”[]
The principle is not complicated. In fact, Ivan inserted a memory into this spell.
This memory allows people to briefly record the surrounding environment when they move, reduce the sense of disharmony caused by distortion, and reduce the probability of exposure.
However, if they move too fast, the small memory will not be able to handle it, causing the light and shadow on their bodies to flow.
“Even so, it’s still amazing.”
Harry never thought that spells could be improved. Even after seeing Ivan’s improved magic one after another, he still didn’t break the old rules.
It can only be said that people are different.
Harry is willing to learn all kinds of magic, but he doesn’t intend to create or optimize magic.
He knows himself that he is not cut out for it.
“Watch your step, don’t fall.”
Ivan and the others were in stealth mode, and they followed one another, holding hands to ensure that they would not fall behind.
The night at Hogwarts was extremely quiet. They walked in the corridors, and the paintings on both sides had been put to sleep. Only their footsteps echoed faintly in the corridors.
The young wizards did not ask questions, but just followed Ivan and kept moving forward.
The whole process was not thrilling.
They did not encounter Filch, nor were they spotted by Mrs. Norris, and they arrived at their destination without any setbacks.
“”Huh~”
With a flick of his wand, Ivan lifted the Disillusionment Spell that covered everyone.
“Is there anything here?
Hermione looked around but found nothing.
“Could it be a secret passage?”
Parvati saw Ivan standing in front of the troll tapestry and said,”I heard that Hogwarts has many secret passages. Ivan, did you find the secret passage here?”
“When it comes to finding secret passages, I don’t dare to compete with the Weasley brothers.”
“They are the real deal.”
Ivan told them that the Weasley brothers may have found 80% of the secret passages in Hogwarts.
“So many!”
Hermione:”How many times have they gone on night tours?”
“Countless.”
Ivan:”Except for the first few times they were caught by Filch, they haven’t been discovered for a long time.”
Especially after finding the Marauder’s Map in Filch’s drawer, the Weasley twins completely let themselves go.
“As long as you don’t get caught, it’s not a violation.”
Ivan said the words that the two of them always said:”Tsk tsk, two prank geniuses, I can’t learn from them.”
“……”
Hermione wanted to ask what was so good about learning this. She didn’t want Ivan to become like the Weasley twins.
“Don’t worry, I’m not that free.”
Pranks and such are not as interesting as studying magic.
“I brought you here to prepare for the actual combat training later.”
Ivan patted Hermione on the shoulder and told them the real purpose of tonight.
“Actual combat training?”
Harry and Parvati arrived later, so they didn’t know Ivan’s original plan.
Now that they heard about the actual combat, they were suddenly surprised.
“But…”
Harry:”There’s nothing here.”
Ivan meant to take them out to find a place for actual combat training.
“Ivan, don’t keep us in suspense, tell us now.”
The little witch was not used to the late night. Standing in the corridor on the eighth floor, she always felt uneasy that Filch would catch her at any time.
“Yeah.”
Ivan waved his hands at the four people and said,”Everyone, move aside and watch what I do.”
Then, Ivan walked back and forth against the wall three times under the puzzled gazes of the four people.
“I need a room to practice spells…”
Ivan muttered as he walked.
When Ivan walked for the third time, an ancient door slowly emerged from the empty wall.
“”Huh?”
The four little wizards looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that there was such a magical secret passage here.
“This, this is also a secret passage?”
“This is not the Tao.”
Ivan stood in front of the door and smiled,”It’s the Room of Requirement. Hermione, you should have heard of it.”
“The Room of Requirement! This is the Room of Requirement!”
Hermione was surprised and said,”I always thought it was just a legend, made up by little wizards in the past, but I didn’t expect…”
She really couldn’t imagine that the Room of Requirement was in this place.
“Let me tell you a secret, even the Weasley twins couldn’t find this room”
“So what is the Room of Requirement?”
Harry and Neville, one is ignorant and the other really can’t remember anything.
“The Room of Requirement is also called the Room of Coming and Going.
Parvati explained,”Because this room can only be entered when a person really needs it.”
“It sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, but when it appears, it is always arranged to meet the needs of the person seeking help.”
“That’s true.”
Ivan pointed to the door behind him and said,”The way to enter the Room of Requirement is very simple. Just walk through this wall three times, while thinking of the room you need.”
“Need room?”
“Hmm…”
Ivan said:”If you want to go to the toilet, you will find that this place has become a toilet. If you want something, it will become a warehouse.”
“Ivan, your wish just now was a room for practicing magic.…”
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Ivan pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement and said,”If nothing goes wrong, there should be everything we need in there.”
After he finished speaking, the four little ones could no longer hold back and immediately swarmed in.
This was a spacious room with torches lit, like a basement classroom.
There was a row of wooden bookshelves along the wall. There were no chairs on the floor, but there were large satin cushions. On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments such as peepholes, secret detectors, and a large magic mirror with cracks.
“What are these?”
The little wizards looked around the room curiously. Ivan explained casually,”The cushions are used when practicing the Stunning Spell.”
“What about these mirrors?”
“A kind of black magic detector, the small one is called a spyglass, and the big one is a magic mirror.”
Ivan said and closed the door:”The inside and outside of the Room of Requirement are independent, which means that as long as we close the door, what happens inside will not be detected by people outside.”
“
Harry:”This is the best place to practice spells!””
“Everyone, come and look here!”
Hermione seemed to have discovered something, and everyone came forward. They saw that there were bookshelves in the room, filled with various books related to spells and defense against the dark arts.
“《Common spells and countermeasures》、《Outwitting the Dark Arts》、《Self-defense spell collection》、《Fighting Poison with Poison》…”
The little witch stroked the spines of the books, and the excitement in her tone could not be concealed at all.
“Okay, Hermione, there will be plenty of time later.”
Ivan patted the little witch’s head, signaling her to forget about these magic books. He sat on the mat with the four of them and said,”From now on, we will gather here every Friday night.���Practice magic”
“”Tonight, is it the same as tonight?”
Harry was worried that he would be caught for nighttime travel, and he didn’t know how to cast the Disillusionment Charm.
Thinking about it this way, Harry felt that he seemed a little pitiful.
Parvati was accompanied by Hermione, and Neville could follow Ivan, but he was the only one, pitiful, weak and helpless.
