Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 95

c95 three small goals

The moment he collided with Quirrell’s eyes, Ivan’s heart trembled.

Fortunately, Quirrell didn’t show any abnormalities, nor did he “smile secretly” or “look fiercely in his eyes”. He just looked at Ivan very normally and asked kindly:

“You-you are a student at Hogwarts?”

“Yes, Professor Quirrell, I will be in the second grade this year.” Ivan also replied with a harmless face.

“Oh—you know me?” Quirrell looked a little happy, and said stumblingly, “From this year, I will be the one who will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts——I will teach you.”

Damn, I’m so nervous, logically I shouldn’t know him… But it’s not a big problem, after all, he is a professor at Hogwarts, even if I haven’t taken his class, I must have heard his name…

Ivan’s thoughts turned, and his face suddenly became disappointed.

“Is it true? You are taking over – the position of Professor Searles.”

When he said this, Ivan made an appearance of “touching the scene and remembering the former professor who died heroically”.

“Yes, yes…Professor Searles, it’s really…” Chiloka paused for a while, and finally squeezed out a sentence, “Great.”

“Sacrificing to protect the students is too great.” He added this sentence.

Having said that, Ivan felt that it was time to leave. He made his expression look a little sad, asked for a sandwich from the bar owner Tom in a low voice, said goodbye to Quirrell in a depressed mood, turned and left.

Maintaining this appearance, Ivan went upstairs in silence and walked towards his room. He didn’t look back all the way, but he felt a thorn in his back, as if someone was staring at his back.

Returning to the room like this, Ivan closed the door dejectedly.

The moment the door was locked, Ivan immediately threw his frustrated expression out of the blue, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

Quirrell has a problem!

This is the conclusion Ivan came to after this brief conversation.

Perhaps guesswork is more appropriate.

“Voldemort managed to find such a host that he could leave the Albanian forest, and he certainly wouldn’t just give up…

“The last time I saw Quirrell, he was obviously wearing that purple scarf, which meant that Voldemort was on him at the time…but he is not there now, why?

“His remaining strength should not be enough to support him to change to a new host again… So, did he change the position of the parasite?”

After thinking about it, Ivan thinks that the guess that “Voldemort is still on Quirrell, but the parasitic part has been replaced for some reason” is closer to reality.

It’s just that he can’t verify whether the guess is true at this time, and he doesn’t dare to use the magic he has mastered to spy on Quirrell’s movements to find evidence. In case Voldemort is really parasitic on Quirrell, without the Philosopher’s Stone to increase Once he is found with the effect of the incarnation technique, it will definitely be a disaster.

Then we can only take preventive measures first.

Thinking of this, Ivan immediately took action.

After installing “eyes of insight” that can be used as cameras and alarms in every corner of the room, he compared the spell book and cast a few spells for early warning. Because of his lack of proficiency, he failed a lot only succeeded.

Because he knew in his heart that the strength between himself and Voldemort could be said to be very different, even Professor Quirrell was far inferior, so Ivan did not set those protective spells that were easy to break, but only those that could provide warnings. used the mantra over and over.

Ivan was able to cast spells so wantonly thanks to the meditation method taught by Grindelwald. After learning to meditate, his magical growth can be described as rapid progress, far exceeding the level of his peers.

But even so, Ivan still felt a little tired after the protective spell was arranged.

“I still need to continue to meditate… At least in the fifth grade, that is, the year when Voldemort is really resurrected, I have to be able to take a few tricks in front of him… If you don’t pursue a head-on confrontation, at least you have to be intact and not missing Run away with arms and legs.”

This is a long-term goal that Ivan has set for himself.

He has always been very clear-headed, knowing that in the field of conventional magic, except for some talent in transfiguration, he is far behind the genius-level Tom Riddle in other aspects, so he needs to make up for it with redoubled efforts.

While Voldemort is still lingering and his strength has not improved, hurry up and work hard…

After wolfing down the already cold sandwich, Ivan immediately began to concentrate on his studies.

There are still ten days before the start of school. At this time, Nicole Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone has been transferred to Hogwarts. If there is no accident, it is not known whether Voldemort, who is still parasitic on Quirrell, will also use some kind of Way to join the battlefield.

The plot of the original book has been changed, and Ivan must be more cautious.

So far, Ivan has set three goals for himself.

Of course, the primary goal is to improve the incarnation technique. He has basically mastered all the key skills. Grindelwald has benefited a lot from teaching him this month. The next thing he needs to do is to practice hard to ensure the key skills Never lose the chain.

The second is the meditation method taught by Grindelwald. You need to continue to persevere, and you can’t relax no matter when and where. In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is the most important thing for Ivan at the moment. The benefits brought by the increase in the upper limit of mana are obvious. It not only allows him to maintain his avatar form for a longer time, but also means that he can cast in battle. There are more spells.

The last thing to watch out for is alchemy.

From the current point of view, incarnation is inseparable from the Philosopher’s Stone and the Kingdom of the Dead.

Whether it is for the improvement of incarnation, for repairing the Philosopher’s Stone, replenishing its magic power, or for preventing various problems that may be encountered in the future, the study of alchemy must be put on the agenda.

What’s more, I still have a dream of refining the Philosopher’s Stone… Ivan laughed at himself.

In the Hogwarts curriculum, “Alchemy” is an elective subject only open to students in the sixth and seventh grades. Ivan definitely has no way to learn this knowledge in school.

Fortunately, although you can’t learn it in school, you can buy related books in bookstores.

As early as when he first got the parchment that recorded the incarnation technique, Ivan consulted many alchemy works to find records related to Paracelsus.

After the end of the first grade, Ivan, who was frightened by the old guy’s weird methods, went directly to the bookstores in Diagon Alley, found all the alchemy books, and tried to find a way to deal with Paracelsus from them.

Now is the time to put them to use.

By the way, this book is purely a product of the author’s leisure and self-entertainment. Although I will inquire about the relevant information of the original work when writing, it is inevitable that there will be places that are not in place. I hope you will read it again. when to make corrections. Then some readers pointed out that there are problems in the rhythm of the book, the connection of the plot, and the characterization of the characters. I am aware of this, and I am trying to improve it. The battle will be based on “incarnation + alchemy”.
