Chapter 27 I’m so Stupid!

"Yes, Professor, theoretically we should be in the dormitory now." Harry swallowed hard under the gaze of Professor McGonagall.

"But in actual operation, the results will always be different."

Professor McGonagall's face suddenly darkened, and Harry, who sensed something was wrong, quickly added.

"It means Ron and I heard the news about the troll at the banquet, and remembered that Ivan and Hermione were still here, so we rushed over because we were worried."

Ron gritted his teeth and was about to reveal that he had said bad things behind his back, causing Hermione to cry and hide in the girls' bathroom.

"Yes, they are here to find me!"

However, Hermione suddenly interrupted them, and then turned to McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, I just came to see the troll, thinking I could deal with it. You know, I have read in books how to deal with this kind of creature."

"I didn't expect the giant monster to be more powerful than I imagined. If Ivan hadn't arrived in time, I would have died."

"As for Harry and Ron, they probably came here secretly because they were worried about us."

It was the first time Hermione lied, and she seemed a little uncomfortable with it. Her pretty little face turned red. Fortunately, she soon became smoother and smoother, and she successfully came around.

"How could you think so? Silly girl, you are only in the first year, how could you possibly deal with the troll?" Professor McGonagall scolded.

"Ahem!" Ivan coughed twice upon hearing this, reminding Professor McGonagall that there was a first-year wizard here who successfully challenged a troll.

Ivan's upright performance made Professor McGonagall unable to step down. Fortunately, Dumbledore, who was invited by Filch, arrived in time, which relieved the embarrassment.

The moment Dumbledore appeared, his eyes focused on the iron thorns scattered around and the corpse of the troll, especially the cone-shaped spike that penetrated the giant monster's head and stayed for a long time.

"It's an excellent transformation spell. Among the little wizards of your age I've seen, I'm afraid no one can use it better than you. If it were in class, I think Professor McGonagall would definitely give Gryffindor ten points for this." ." Dumbledore made no secret of his admiration.

"Albus, what we should be discussing now is the fact that these children came to see the trolls privately." Mag nodded. She was also a little surprised by Ivan's level of transformation spells, but now was obviously not the time to discuss this.

"If that's the case, then so be it." Dumbledore pondered for a while, then looked at everyone and said.

"Miss Granger will be deducted ten points from Gryffindor House because of her recklessness. Although Potter and Weasley violated school rules, their friendship deserves recognition, so they will not be punished for the time being."

Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief, while Hermione bit her lips. The deduction of points was still a bit difficult for her to accept.

"As for Hals?" Dumbledore paused, and Hermione and others' hearts started to rise again. However, Dumbledore suddenly changed to a relaxed tone.

"I will give you twenty points from Gryffindor for your actions!"

Hermione's worried heart was finally completely relieved, and she looked at Ivan with a look of joy, which even diluted the impact of the deduction of points.

Ivan also raised his eyebrows, because just when Dumbledore said he would give him extra points, the system also gave him twenty academic points, which was worth his hard work for several days.

"Isn't this a little too loose?" Professor McGonagall frowned, feeling that Dumbledore's approach might encourage Ivan and others to take risks.

"Not every little wizard can successfully defeat the troll not long after entering school." Dumbledore shook his head and objected.

"By the way, Professor, this troll doesn't need me to compensate, right?" Ivan, who was in a good mood, asked casually.

"Of course not, but" Dumbledore smiled at Ivan, "Can you come to the principal's office later? I am very interested in your process of defeating the troll. Maybe, after I finish handling the things here We can have a good chat in the future."

Ivan's smiling face froze for an instant, he opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Could he say no?

Ivan felt depressed for a while. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have said anything!

I'm so stupid. I should have read "Occlumency" several times when I knew I went to the restricted area. I'm so stupid.

On the way to the principal's office, Ivan inexplicably turned on Mrs. Xianglin's repetition mode, regretting over and over again that he had not learned Occlumency in advance.

Of course, you can’t blame him entirely for this.

In order to be able to complete the challenge tasks more smoothly, almost all the academic points gained were spent on potions and several key spells. There were no extra academic points for the study of "Occlumency".

As for learning Occlumency independently without experience cards?

Ivan thought it was better to forget it. He still clearly remembered that the gifted savior Harry could not learn it under the guidance of a master of Occlumency like Snape. Ivan felt that learning independently would not be a nightmare. .

However, this also reminded Ivan of a feature of Legilimency in the original work, that is, the caster can only read the memories being recalled in the mind of the caster.

If you want more, you must use more powerful Legilimency to force the person being casted to actively recall more.

This is why in the original book, when Snape reads Harry's memories, it causes Harry to play back these memories in his brain.

With these guesses, Ivan felt a little relieved. As long as he thought about useless things when talking later, Dumbledore wouldn't forcefully search his memory, right?

Ivan walked to the principal's office with anxiety. The person guarding this place was a huge and ugly stone beast. When Ivan said the secret code Dumbledore gave him, the stone beast slowly made a dull sound. It rotated upwards, finally revealing the stairs hidden behind.

Ivan walked up the stairs. Inside was a spacious circular room. The old walls with a sense of age were covered with portraits of the past principals of Hogwarts. The principal's name was clearly marked below each portrait. Name and time in charge of this school.

What interests Ivan the most is the pensieve placed on the long table on the side and Dumbledore's pet phoenix Fawkes.

The Pensieve is what Ivan dreams of. As long as he learns Legilimency, he can use the power of the Pensieve to sort out his memories.

Phoenix blood can be used as an important ingredient in blood fusion potions, and it is also the top quality.

If it weren't for the lack of tools and the possibility that Dumbledore might come back at any time, Ivan would have wondered whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to draw a tube of blood first.

If he can beat Fox
