Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 91
c91 Black Hole (seeking first order)
“……call.”
Ignoring Neville Longbottom’s shout behind him, Ivan quickly walked into the crowd, followed the direction of the flow of people to a fairly secluded corner, and then he stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
Now he won’t come after him, will he?
Ivan glanced back, but did not see Neville.
Not only did he not have the slightest opinion on this boy who played a lot of roles in the original work, but he admired it very much.
Not everyone can muster up the courage to stand before Voldemort after their parents were tortured and admitted to the hospital by black magic.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had already intersected with too many characters in the original book, Ivan would be more than happy to have a chat with Navido.
But for now… forget it.
Ivan didn’t intend to deceive Neville by pretending to be deaf and dumb just now, making the boy really think that he had suddenly fallen ill. He was just using it as an appearance to show that he “doesn’t want to communicate with him”.
That was enough, and Neville was sure to see what he meant.
After confirming that Neville wasn’t coming, Ivan took his book basket and checked the direction in Diagon Alley, then followed the two singing and dancing gypsies back to the Leaky Cauldron.
…
“Neville, darling, what are you doing standing here? Have you bought any books?”
In front of Lihen Bookstore, Mrs. Longbottom, who was wearing a green robe, fox fur, and a pointed hat decorated with a stuffed vulture, looked at her grandson in surprise.
Neville was holding his toad in both hands, his whole body was in a mess, his hair was like a bird’s nest, and his eyes were a little dull. He lowered his head after hearing grandma’s question.
“…No. I’m sorry, Grandma, I lost the book list.”
“You can find a Hogwarts student to borrow it! Children in the first or second year are fine, and their courses are similar.” Mrs. Longbottom obviously wanted to go with Neville.
“I asked…” Neville’s voice became smaller and lower, and his head lowered lower and lower.
“What?” Mrs. Longbottom didn’t hear clearly.
“I said I asked…but the student seemed to be sick suddenly, and left without lending me a book list, and Raffle ran away again. It took me a lot of effort to find him.” volume.
“Ill? What did he say?” Mrs. Longbottom looked at Neville suspiciously.
“He said…” Neville repeated exactly what Ivan said.
“Oh… my child.” After hearing this, Mrs. Longbottom sighed and shook her head, “You need to get in touch with people more, your social experience is too insufficient.”
“What?” Neville looked at his grandmother blankly, obviously hoping for an explanation.
Mrs. Longbottom shook her head regretfully, stretched out a hand to grab Neville’s arm, led him to stop a student-looking child, and borrowed a list of books from him, excluding the time spent queuing up to check out , helped Neville buy a first grade textbook without even using up ten minutes.
…
“Hey, are you done buying all your books?”
Seeing Ivan rushing into the bar, bar owner Tom greeted the boy while wiping his glass.
After getting an affirmative answer, Tom looked around to make sure that no one cared about his actions, and then beckoned to Ivan furtively, asking him to come closer.
“I heard there was a commotion over Knockturn Alley?” Tom lowered his voice so low that Ivan had to move closer to him to hear him clearly, “Two customers said just now that two from Ah The wizards who escaped from Zkaban fought there, and the whole Knockturn Alley was burned down, and the fire even spread to Diagon Alley? Didn’t you go to Diagon Alley to buy books? Did you hear any news? ?”
What kind of inexplicable rumors are these… Ivan rolled his eyes, shook his head at Tom, expressing that he didn’t know much about it, and then rejected his invitation to “have a drink” and went upstairs with his book basket.
…
In the room on the second floor of the bar, after Ivan entered the door, he carefully checked the things he left in the room, and confirmed that no one had rummaged after he left and locked the door from the inside.
The boy casually threw the book basket aside, closed the curtains, and sat down beside the bed.
“Luminescence flickering.”
After the spell was uttered, the tip of the wand slightly lit up with a ball of white light. Ivan put the wand on the side of the bedside table, so that the light could just illuminate the front of his body, and then carefully took out something from his pocket.
Ring stolen from Borgin-Bock shop.
Under the frontal light, the appearance of the ring was still as gray as before, as if it was made of a piece of rotten iron.
But if you look carefully, you can vaguely see traces of extremely small marks all over its outer ring, like cracks, but smooth as a mirror when you touch it, reflecting magnificent amber light with Ivan’s rotation .
“The Philosopher’s Stone, or rather, the Philosopher’s Stone—”
Ivan recalled in his mind what Grindelwald had said to himself before leaving Nurmengard.
“The Philosopher’s Stone of Paracelsus was destroyed in that experiment. Oh no, it was not completely destroyed as you imagined, but its periphery appeared under the impact of unimaginable magic There was a crack, and several pieces of gravel fell off from it.
“The guy didn’t seem to care about the situation. When I asked him if it was serious, he just said he’d take care of it. And then – Paracelsus cast those peeling rubble into got a ring.
“A ring that magnifies the senses of the wearer.”
Ivan stared at the tiny cracks, and according to Grindelwald’s instructions, the magic power in his body slowly began to work.
In the next second, Ivan suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost control of his body. His perspective suddenly floated up, as if his soul had left his body at the moment when the magic power was running.
Ivan forcibly calmed himself down, without any panic, trying to continue to run the magic power. Grindelwald emphasized that this is a normal reaction when the wizard’s consciousness comes into contact with the magic power of the Philosopher’s Stone, so there is no need to panic…
However, just when Ivan activated his magic power again, a sudden change occurred!
In the air in front of Ivan, a black spot suddenly appeared.
At the beginning, it was only the size of a mosquito, but it suddenly expanded at an explosive speed. In the blink of an eye, the original black spot had turned into a huge black hole, and Ivan felt A gust of cold wind that seemed to freeze the soul came out of the black hole, followed by a huge suction force. Ivan’s body or soul, under the control of this suction force, unconsciously moved towards Going to the black hole…
When black occupied the entire field of vision, Ivan suddenly found that he had come to a strange place.
Here again, because it is on the shelves at the end of the month, there is actually no full attendance this month. In order to keep updating and save more manuscripts, the authors who have not saved many manuscripts decided to put the date of the explosive update on the first day of the next month, and tentatively set the fifth update as a base. And for the rest of this month, there is still a change for the time being, everyone, please bear with me
