Chapter 1012 Epilogue - the Beginning and End of Everything!

Hermione looked over the entire letter over and over, as if trying to find something different in it, and even took out the wand from her waist and tapped it lightly on the letter.

"Aparecium~(emergency appearance)"

A faint ripple of magic power passed over the surface of the letter paper, but nothing happened...

"Do you just not believe me? Hermione?" Ivan hugged the witch into his arms and said helplessly.

Hermione snorted softly, looking a little disgusted. This can't be blamed on her being cautious or suspicious. In fact, the relationship between Ivan and someone in the past ten years has been ridiculously good.

Yesterday, she even saw a report about Luna in the Daily Prophet.

During her travels in recent years, Luna discovered dozens of nearly extinct magical creatures such as the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax, the Ball Fish, and the Stalking Frog, surpassing Newt Scamander in one fell swoop and becoming the most powerful creature of the century. The most influential master of magical beasts!

But she remembered that these strange magical creatures were clearly imagined by Luna, and now they actually appeared in the magical world. No matter how she thought about it, she knew there must be a ghost among them!

And the only person in the entire magical world who has the ability to do this is her husband Ivan Hals!

From this, she suspected that the relationship between the two was more than just good friends, but she couldn't find any evidence...

"Don't be so suspicious, Hermione..." Ivan flicked Hermione's forehead in a funny way and said speechlessly. "Think about it carefully. If I really have anything to do with Luna, I won't communicate through letters. Wouldn't it be better to just use the magic network?"

The so-called Magic Network is a magic communication network, which exists based on magic marks. It is one of Ivan's research results in the past nineteen years. It is equivalent to a personal terminal in the science fiction world, and all wizards' information is entered into it.

Through this magical network, wizards can communicate at any time regardless of distance, embody the other party's magical image, or send their own coordinates for apparation, or even browse information and purchase items on the Magic Web. In short, it is very convenient. convenient.

Of course, the most important function of the Magic Network is to facilitate the Wizards Federation to manage each wizard.

As the real controller of the Magic Network, if Ivan wanted to have a private chat with someone, no one would be able to find out.

Hermione was stunned, it seemed like this was the case. Although Ivan and Luna often exchanged letters, they never deliberately hid it from herself.

As for the creation of these magical creatures, insiders will know what is going on as soon as they read the newspaper.

If Ivan simply wanted to make Luna happy, he could just do it secretly. There was no need to publish it in the newspaper to let him know.

"Well, it seems that I thought too much and blamed you wrongly!" The doubts in Hermione's mind disappeared, and she embarrassedly kissed Ivan lightly on the cheek as an apology.

But Ivan would not just let it go. He pressed the back of Hermione's head and kissed the witch's red lips. Their lips and teeth were entangled for a while before letting her go.

Hermione gasped lightly, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, her expression suddenly changed, and she spoke urgently. "Yeah, it's already this time, let go, I'm going to work!"

"Why are you in a hurry? Stay with me for a while, or you can take a day off and go tomorrow." Ivan turned over and pressed Hermione on the sofa, pressing her forehead against hers, and said jokingly. "You are the current president of the Wizards' Federation. Who dares to have an opinion?"

"How can this be done?" Hermione rolled her eyes. She was different from a certain former president who was often lazy and skipped work. How could she motivate her subordinates to work well if she didn't lead by example?

Hermione struggled to push away Ivan who was pressing on her, and after hurriedly adjusting her clothes, she used Apparition and disappeared.

Ivan shook his head, then stretched out his hand, and the letter that fell on the ground automatically floated up and fell into his hand.

"After so many years, it's still the same..." Ivan read the letter carefully and saw Luna's encryption method. He couldn't help laughing and drew a circle on the letter paper with the Elder Wand. The words were rearranged and combined, and the hidden content was presented in front of Ivan.

[Thank you for your suggestion, Ivan, but I think my current job is also very good. Michaela was injured recently and needs to be taken care of by me personally. Please forgive me for not being able to be a professor at Hogwarts this year. ——Your most loyal friend Luna Nofgood]

There were two little people holding hands at the end of the letter. Looking at this familiar Q-print style, Ivan chuckled and couldn't help but miss the past, so he wrote a concise reply with the same message. The encryption method was sent back.

There is nothing special about the content of the reply. Using this special method to encrypt it is not only for nostalgia, but also for the fun of the two of them.

Just like Ivan and Hermione said, he didn't cheat or anything. The reason why he gave Luna special treatment was half friendship and half guilt.

When he was studying at Hogwarts, the other party helped him a lot, and because of him, Luna lost the opportunity to become close friends with Harry and others.

So Ivan always wanted to compensate the other party more. Over the years, he created many interesting magical creatures according to Luna's fantasy, and then deliberately hid them in a dense forest, and then revealed some information for the other party to find.

After merging the Yeqi bloodline and mastering the power to transcend life and death, Luna's mother was able to return to the world through the Resurrection Stone.

Inviting the other party to be the professor of magical creatures at Hogwarts also hopes that Luna can feel more relaxed. You must know that the work of studying magical creatures is very tiring and may even be in danger.

But now it seems that Luna probably likes the job she is doing.

Thinking of this, Ivan gave up the idea of ​​bringing his friend back to Hogwarts to teach. He held his right hand emptyly, and a golden rhombus crystal appeared in front of him.

[No. 0 is at your service...]

A cold reminder sounded in Ivan's mind.

The diamond-shaped crystal in front of him is the legendary system. It took him seven years to make it using a whole magic stone as the core. It possesses the legendary magical intelligence and is the highest creation of alchemy!

It's just that there seemed to be a slight problem when this thing was made, which made Ivan very troubled.

"What kind of existence do I have in your mind?" Ivan asked tentatively.

The cold reminder sounded again: [You are my maker, the greatest Dark Lord in history, a duplicitous politician, a thoughtful conspirator, and the ruler behind the scenes of the real and magical worlds...]

"Nonsense!" Ivan couldn't help but interrupted, what kind of nonsense is this?

With his achievements, it’s not too much to call him the savior of the magic world, right?

[This is the most accurate evaluation based on your memory and experience, combined with information collected from the magical world! 】

The voice of No. 0 appeared in Ivan's mind again, and then the diamond-shaped crystal expanded into a light screen, restoring his various experiences.

Twenty years ago, he killed Dumbledore, captured the British Ministry of Magic, supported the puppet minister, and then framed the blame on Voldemort.

Nineteen years ago, he secretly used the Imperius Curse to secretly control dozens of politicians, playing Muggles into his hands.

…

Seven years ago, a magic network was built to control the life and death of all wizards and closely monitor their every move...

Ivan touched his chin and realized that he had done so many things he didn't want to do for the peace of the magic world over the years...

Maybe this is the so-called dark hero.

Carrying all the sins alone, leaving only the light and beauty to others...

As described in many movies and TV shows, people like him are always easily misunderstood...

In this regard, Ivan didn't bother to make any more excuses. He was trying to reason with a magical intelligence just because he was full. He had considered whether to remake this thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. In that case It will also waste a lot of precious materials, and it may not meet your expectations.

Ivan shook his head. It's okay if it has some flaws, as long as it can be used.

It's also interesting to say that when he wanted to provide some help to his past self, he thought about it and finally found that making a system was the most convenient way.

For him, who liked to read online articles in his previous life, he would not doubt the origin of things like the system, and he could also guide himself to make the right choices at some critical points in time by publishing tasks.

Of course, because of his limited abilities, this so-called system does not have overly complicated functions, and it cannot directly exchange items. After all, the magic power consumed to create things out of thin air is too huge and not worth it.

Therefore, he only gave the system partial memories containing a large amount of magical knowledge and three special abilities.

The first ability is detection. As a ninth-level creature, Zero can quickly analyze most items and give relatively accurate evaluations through knowledge reserves.

The second is the ability to greatly increase the speed of thinking like the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Ivan has made some restrictions on this point, because with this ability turned on 24 hours a day, the consumption of magic power is definitely a big problem. It is definitely not enough for Zero to absorb the escaped magic power.

In addition, a wizard can never reach the level of a legendary wizard just by reading books. Experience and experience are equally important.

If there is not enough danger and pressure, then his strength will never improve so quickly.

As for the third ability, it is through fusion with No. 0 that you can briefly experience the state of speaking and following the law.

This kind of power is enough to allow the user to survive in any dangerous situation. Ivan named it protection mode, which means protecting the past self!

However, fusion consumes a lot of magic power stored in the system, so it can only be used in key places, or to eliminate the risk of bloodline fusion.

"It's almost time..." Ivan murmured, stretched out his hand to put the invisibility cloak hanging on the wall on his body, and then disappeared in a flash.

When he reappeared, Ivan had arrived in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

It was summer vacation at this time, and the auditorium was empty. This was the best time for Ivan. He didn't want to be disturbed while casting the spell.

"The coordinates are 7:30 in the evening on September 1st, twenty-five years ago." Yi Fanxu held the Zero and poured magic power into it continuously. He added some Sands of Time when making the system. This allows Zero, like the Time-Turner, to reverse time and go back in time...

The surrounding scenes were quickly disappearing, everything was retreating rapidly, and everything that had happened in the auditorium in the past twenty-five years had turned into blurry shadows one after another.

Ivan heard all kinds of sounds, including screams and shouts, and noisy discussions. After an unknown period of time, everything calmed down.

After a while, another familiar voice sounded.

"Gryffindor!"

Ivan subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the stage. A blond little wizard was taking off the Sorting Hat from his head, and the one who just called was Professor McGonagall.

Reliving this scene from the perspective of a bystander, Ivan couldn't help but have a smile on his lips, just watching a certain kid walking down from the stage with a confused look on his face.

He knew that at that time, he had not yet recovered from the sudden time travel.

Ivan walked step by step in front of the blond little wizard. When his past self was chatting with the Weasley brothers, he silently patted the No. 0 in his hand into the other's eyebrows.

Due to consuming too much magic power in the process of backtracking, Zero's core is temporarily in a semi-stop state. It will take about a year to recover by slowly absorbing magic power and unlock all functions. This is different from his memory. The system update time is about the same.

After completing this last cycle, Ivan had no intention of staying any longer. The correction power of time and space was already eager to drive him away.

As for Zero, unlike him, he exists between reality and illusion, so he can always stay in the past.

After letting go of the protection, Ivan's body slowly faded and disappeared.

At this moment, Ivan suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be watching him. He turned around and looked into a pair of silver-blue eyes.

The headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, was sitting on the main seat of the teachers' chair and looking over here.

"You're really sharp!" Ivan laughed. He understood that it was probably because Zero accidentally leaked some magic power during the fusion, which attracted Dumbledore's attention.

"So, goodbye, Principal Dumbledore!" Although the other party could not see it, Ivan still opened his mouth silently and said goodbye, and then returned to the original point in time under the pressure of the correction force of time and space.

The blond little wizard on the side also raised his head at this time, mistakenly thinking that the old principal was looking at him, but he did not have any stage fright. He pretended to be well-behaved and shy and smiled at Dumbledore before eating a large piece of cake in one bite. Put it in your mouth and swallow it in a few times...

The little wizard's foodie aura made Dumbledore very amused. After smiling back, he turned his head away. Just now... it was probably an illusion!

(PS: The finale, let’s spread the flowers! I will write a few chapters of postscript, extra chapters, etc. later to supplement the things that are not written in the main text. Well, I will write the closing remarks after finishing the extra chapters. The last part is Luna Party, I will consider it Write a truly perfect extra story, double story or single story, just think of it as another world line.)
