Chapter 177 The Sorting Hat Must Be Crazy to Sort You Into Gryffindor!
After being corrected by Hermione on several mistakes, Ivan gave up treatment completely and simply put the questionnaire in front of Hermione, indicating that she would write it for him.
"This is an assignment assigned by Professor Lockhart, and I won't write it for you!" Hermione refused righteously.
But in the end, the little witch still filled up the entire questionnaire, because Ivan wrote randomly on the questionnaire, and she really couldn't stand it.
On the way back to the dormitory, Harry and Ron looked at Ivan with strange eyes. They had thought that Ivan hated Lockhart as much as they did.
Of course, Ivan knew what they were thinking, so there was no misunderstanding between the two, so he explained aloud.
"Don't you think Professor Lockhart is easy to fool? As long as you follow him, you can easily get high marks in every class. Maybe during the final exam, he will give everyone who likes him a O (outstanding)!”
The stubborn Harry and Ron didn't bother to please Lockhart, but the temptation of scoring in the final exam really hit their weakness.
Besides, this is homework, no matter how unwilling they are, the two of them still have to fill out that damn questionnaire.
The only good thing is that they can copy Ivan's copy, which saves a lot of time in flipping through books.
Ivan sat on one side and opened a black-covered diary in the corner, discussing with Tom Riddle the techniques of casting spells without spells.
Harry and Ron didn't pay attention. Ivan liked reading books very much in the last school year, and it was normal for him to write notes.
This idea means that Ivan doesn't need to spend too much time on disguise. As long as he follows his usual approach, he won't arouse anyone's suspicion.
The next day's Charms and History of Magic class, Ivan felt that the course was too simple and tried to bring the Horcrux diary to class, preparing to do research so as not to waste class time.
It is worth mentioning that when he learned that the little wizard in front of him was a member of Gryffindor, Tom Riddle was shocked.
He felt that the Sorting Hat must be crazy to sort this little wizard who was born in Knockturn Alley, had learned dark magic, was thirsty for knowledge, and was a little too cautious, into Gryffindor House.
Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, which one is not more suitable than Gryffindor?
Ivan did not explain, but he guessed that the Sorting Hat made a judgment after looking at his original memory.
Before he traveled through time, "Ivan Hals" rarely went out because he lived in Knockturn Alley, and he had an extremely strong and doting mother, so he essentially lacked some courage.
The Sorting Hat may have thought that sorting him into Gryffindor House would make up for his character flaws, just like Neville in the original book.
Ivan closed the cover of the diary and had new ideas about the task of the mystery of blood.
Although Tom Riddle still did not reveal any news, Ivan did not forget how he got the book "Origin of Blood".
That's the reward for another quest exploring Hogwarts.
During the last school year, Ivan was busy stealing potions and making blood fusion potions, and completely forgot about this task. Now he has found this task again.
[Mission Objective: Explore Hogwarts
Current progress: 51/100
Mission status: 40% progress (achieved), reward "Origin of Bloodline" (distributed)
Seventy percent progress (not achieved)
One hundred percent progress (not achieved)
Mission introduction: The curiosity to explore the unknown is what every little wizard should have. The thousand-year-old castle contains countless secrets. Please explore and understand them. When the exploration progress reaches a certain level, a certain level will be given based on performance. rewards. 】
Ivan looked through the task list again and found that after the system update, the display of this task had some changes, and even listed the rewards required for subsequent conditions.
"We're only halfway through now? Isn't that too little?" Ivan was very surprised. He thought he already knew the castle very well, but after looking at the Marauder's Map, he suddenly gained some clarity. .
There are indeed many places that he has never been to, such as the locations of the three major colleges. I am afraid this proportion will not be low.
He didn't even explore the rest room of Gryffindor House completely. He had never entered the women's dormitory.
The rest are the upper grade classrooms and mysterious places such as the Basilisk Chamber that will not be displayed on the map.
Ivan used a magic pen to mark the places he planned to go to on the Marauder's Map, ranking them in order of danger.
Remove those mysterious places,
The upper grade classrooms were the least dangerous. He just needed to use the unlocking spell to go in and have a look when no one was around.
It is not difficult to enter the lounges of the three major colleges. Ravenclaw needs to answer questions, and Slytherin needs to enter the password.
What is slightly more troublesome is the Hufflepuff common room, which is said to be very safe and has never been seen by outsiders for more than a thousand years.
Of course, this refers to the normal lounge and boys' dormitory. The girls' dormitory is particularly dangerous. If you are caught,
Ivan couldn't help but shudder, then he would be finished. If he was fired because of this, his reputation would definitely be discredited and he would be on the headlines of the Daily Prophet tomorrow!
So Ivan put this at the end.
If everything else is done and the progress bar is still not reached, Ivan will have no choice but to risk his life with Polyjuice Potion.
It's easier than prying the news out of Tom's mouth
Thinking of this, Ivan put away the Marauder's Map and started his night travel life again.
After Harry, Ron and others fell asleep, Ivan quietly got up, cast a disembodiment spell on himself, and then slipped out of the Gryffindor lounge.
"Strange, has anyone come out?" The fat lady in the portrait stepped aside as usual, but no one came out for a long time, so she asked doubtfully.
No one responded for a long time, so the fat lady had to block the passage again.
Ivan, who had left, was wandering throughout the castle like an invisible ghost, looking for classrooms he had never been to one after another according to the directions given by the Marauder's Map.
Although it was okay to do this kind of thing during the day, as a second-year student, his frequent visits to upper-class classrooms might arouse suspicion.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
As the ground got lower and lower, Ivan walked into the basement, used a magic spell to break the door lock, and entered one of the potions classrooms.
This place looks very spacious, and the bottles and jars placed in the cupboards are soaked in all kinds of unknown liquids.
Different from the second grade potions classroom, there were many scary pictures posted on the surrounding walls, but they were too dark to see clearly.
"Fluorescence!" Ivan waved his wand and released a light spell. The faint fluorescence spread out in all directions with the tip of the wand as the center.
Thanks to book friend Guifang Zhongjie Huogu for the reward of 500 starting coins.
