Chapter 256 This Is Really a Bad Boy!

"You deserve it! Who made him want to use the Oblivion Curse on you!" Hermione didn't have the slightest sympathy for Lockhart. Instead, she glared at Lockhart angrily.

Dumbledore nodded noncommittally, agreeing with this statement. He knew Lockhart somewhat, and this indeed seemed like something Lockhart would do.

Ivan continued to briefly talk about the fight between him and Tom Riddle in the secret room, and then took out the damaged diary and placed it on the desk together with Ravenclaw's crown.

"Professor, Tom Riddle relies on these things to cause trouble in the castle!" Ivan said.

Dumbledore picked up one of the Horcruxes and looked at it carefully, his long aquiline nose almost touching the charred paper.

After a while, Dumbledore slowly put down the diary, looked at Ravenclaw's crown and said with emotion. "Amazing! I have to say, he is probably the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts."

He already understood the secret of Voldemort's escape from death, which was to make Horcruxes!

According to Ivan's description, Tom Riddle completed the production of the first Horcrux in fifth grade, which is why he was surprised.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly paused and looked at Ivan.

Compared to Tom Riddle, who made Horcruxes at the age of sixteen, Ivan, who was able to defeat him in the second grade, was obviously more outstanding.

Not to mention that according to Ivan's self-report, he obtained the method to fuse the blood of magical creatures in Slytherin's research room, and completed the hemolysis ritual according to the steps given by Slytherin.

If you include the power gained by Ivan's bloodline awakening in his first grade, he is the first person in the magic world to have the bloodline of two magical creatures at the same time.

This achievement is much better than Voldemort's when he was a student.

"No, Professor, I have always felt that you are the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts! Everyone in the wizarding world knows that you are the person Voldemort fears most." Ivan keenly noticed Dumbledore's gaze and hurriedly Said modestly.

The reason why Ivan took the initiative to reveal that he had completed the blood fusion ceremony was to dispel Dumbledore's doubts.

After all, he still has to stay in school for several years, so it is impossible not to use blood magic all the time, and this can also explain the reason why he is getting stronger quickly.

Anyway, the method of merging blood was obtained from Slytherin's research laboratory. The source is reasonable. In addition, he completed the fusion at the instigation of Tom Riddle. Dumbledore cannot blame him in any case. .

Listening to Ivan's flattery, Dumbledore burst into laughter.

He was about to say something when a hairless "turkey" the size of a fist suddenly emerged from Ivan's wizard robe. It jumped on the table and sang a beautiful song from its mouth, which seemed to be telling a story. What.

Hermione opened her eyes wide and looked at this scene curiously.

Ivan said with a hint of apology. "Professor, in order to protect me, your phoenix took Voldemort's killing curse, and then it became like this."

Killing Curse? Hermione was very surprised. She didn't expect that the battle Ivan experienced was so dangerous.

"Don't worry, Hals. The phoenix is ​​a very magical creature. Death is just a reincarnation for it, and it will recover soon."

Dumbledore was not surprised. He stretched out his hand to comfort Fawkes, and while speaking, he placed Fawkes back on the high gilded perch.

"By the way, there is also your wand. Thanks to this, I can finally defeat Tom." Ivan also took out the elder bone wand from his sleeve in time and returned it.

Although the Elder Wand's ability to bless magic made Ivan very excited.

But Ivan, who understands this Deathly Hallows, understands that this thing has already recognized its owner, and the owner is Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the magic world today!

Since he couldn't get it at all, Ivan acted very calmly and didn't hesitate at all when returning the Elder Wand.

Dumbledore reached out and took it, while keeping his eyes on Ivan's expression. Noticing that there was no trace of nostalgia on Ivan's face, he couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

He asked Fox to hand over the Elder Wand to Ivan as a test.

As a second-year wizard, Ivan's strength is a bit unusual, and his growth rate is too rapid. This made Dumbledore vaguely uneasy, worried that he would go astray. The wizarding world could no longer afford a second Voldemort.

"Professor, if there is nothing else, I will go back first." Ivan didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking, but there was always a sense of insecurity in the presence of a Legilimency master.

"Wait a minute, Hals!" Dumbledore stopped Ivan who was about to leave, and in his doubtful eyes, he took out a letter and pushed it in front of him.

"The head of the Knights of Merlin sent me a letter a few days ago, asking me to tell you that the investiture ceremony should be held within these few days!"

Ivan happily put away the envelope. He felt that he had another legendary point to record, and then left with Hermione.

"What about me? What should I do?" Lockhart looked around and saw that he was the only one left in the principal's office except Dumbledore.

"Mr. Lockhart, investigators from the Ministry of Magic will arrive tomorrow. Until then, I believe Madam Pomfrey at the school hospital will take good care of you." Dumbledore glanced at him and said calmly.

Because of Lockhart, a series of attacks occurred in Hogwarts, leaving four junior witches unconscious.

His office was almost filled with a large number of complaint letters in the past few days. Dumbledore certainly had no need to protect Lockhart.

As for whether Lockhart will be sent to Azkaban or thrown into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for treatment, it depends on whether the Ministry of Magic has the ability to find out Lockhart's evil past.

After casually sending Lockhart away, Dumbledore looked at the large holes that had been destroyed on the two Horcruxes, tapping his index finger on the table, thinking quietly.

In his mind, there weren't many things that could destroy Horcruxes.

In the empty office, a voice suddenly sounded.

"What an amazing little wizard. It's really hard to believe that he's only in second grade now, but it seems like he's deliberately hiding a lot of things."

"I don't think that guy named Tom Riddle would be so kind to help him complete that dangerous fusion experiment. There must be something we don't know about."

"Hey, this is really a bad boy!" On the wall of the principal's office, a portrait of a bearded old man chattered his opinions.
