Chapter 289 You Always Bring Me Different Surprises
"Has she always been like this?" Hermione looked at Luna's retreating back and couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, she's a little weird, always has been." Ivan nodded.
Hermione pursed her lips. Rather than asking about Luna, she actually wanted to ask what happened to Ivan during the summer vacation. Did anyone close to him die?
However, Hermione was also a little worried that asking rashly would remind Ivan of some sad things.
While Hermione was hesitating, Harry and Ron took the initiative to come over after seeing their lack of movement.
"Harry, are you okay?" Ivan looked at Harry and asked aloud.
Harry, who had just woken up, was still a little pale, and he complained and complained. “Feels terrible”
Professor Lupine had just taken him to the campus hospital, and Madam Pomfrey made a fuss and insisted on giving him a full body check-up, as if the Dementor had just gotten closer to him and he had contracted some serious illness.
"I guess there must be someone on the train who had the same experience as me, right?" Harry said with a fake smile. After seeing everyone was silent, he said something guiltily. "Isn't there even one person?"
"Come on, Harry, everyone knows you were attacked by a dementor, it's no big deal." Ron comforted him, patting him on the shoulder.
But I obviously wasn't attacked
Harry thought a little depressed, wondering why he was the only one who passed out.
He remembered very clearly that the dementors didn't even touch him.
Harry didn't want to admit that he was too timid, but there seemed to be no other explanation.
Ivan saw Harry's thoughts and said aloud. "Dementors have a different impact on everyone. The more painful the past experience, the greater the impact."
"But there is a way to prevent me from being affected, isn't there? I heard from Ron that you cast a kind of magic to drive away dozens of dementors!" Harry said with some excitement. He really couldn't accept himself. Will be frightened and fainted by dementors.
"That's the Patronus Charm, remember? When we were in the first grade, we saw a blue phoenix with white light in the auditorium. That was Dumbledore's Patronus!" Ivan explained.
"Of course I remember, and you used that magic to defeat Kino!" Harry quickly remembered.
"Can you teach me? Ivan?" Harry asked anxiously. He was a little worried whether Ivan would teach him. After all, it should be a very powerful magic.
"Sorry, Harry, I may not have much time recently." Ivan pondered for a moment. He felt that he had to take more than ten courses at the same time, accumulate academic points, and complete the improvement of potions as soon as possible, so he might not be able to spare the time. Come teach Harry.
Harry was a little disappointed, but fortunately Ivan quickly told him that he could learn from Lupin.
Although Calling God Guard is a high-level magic spell, it is not a very difficult magic to learn. As long as you are willing to spend time, you can master it.
Chatting all the way into the auditorium, Ivan found that they were a little late. The long tables of the four major colleges were already full of people. The Sorting Hat had just stopped its newly composed song. Professor McGonagall was holding the Sorting Hat. Standing on the stage.
A few people didn't dare to neglect, and quickly found an empty seat to sit down while Professor McGonagall didn't notice them.
"Ivan, you are so amazing today!" As soon as Ivan sat down, George came up and said excitedly.
Fred also echoed.
"Yeah, we all saw you chase away those pesky dementors on the train, and I bet a lot of adult wizards couldn't do that. By the way, what's your patronus? A white horse? So It’s so beautiful, but it’s a pity that we didn’t see it clearly.”
"Yeah, more or less." Ivan said very vaguely. If possible, he didn't want others to know the special nature of his patron saint.
In addition to George and Fred, the little lions on the Gryffindor table also cast their eyes over. Ivan's reputation is really too great, and he was in the limelight not long ago, so many people Talking privately about the scene that happened on the train.
Their voices became louder and louder, until Professor McGonagall, who was performing sorting on the stage, turned to stare at them, and the young wizards stopped.
The sorting ceremony ended soon.
As the last freshmen walked down the steps, there was loud applause in the auditorium, and they couldn't wait to enjoy dinner.
But at this time, Dumbledore stood up and walked to the stage. He looked around at every student in the auditorium and gave a welcome speech.
Then before the little wizards in the audience could complain, Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued.
"Before you go all mush over your delicious feast, I have something very important to remind you."
"Our school currently welcomes some dementors from Azkaban. They are sent by the Ministry of Magic to perform official duties. I believe you all know this because they searched the Hogwarts Express."
Having said this, Dumbledore looked at Ivan. He had already heard about what happened on the train.
Just as he thought before, every time he meets Ivan, it always brings him different surprises or troubles?
Ivan was also looking at Dumbledore, remembering that Sirius had told him that his father was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and judging from Sirius's default attitude when he asked, his father's death was very important. It may have something to do with this old professor.
Ivan felt like he was in a fog,
What role did Dumbledore play in this? Why does Asia hate Dumbledore so much?
If he really hated him so much, why would Asia send him to Hogwarts?
Countless questions shrouded Ivan's mind.
The two looked at each other, Dumbledore nodded slightly, but Ivan immediately activated Occlumency and looked away.
Even though Ivan didn't feel any signs of his brain being invaded, he had long been used to it.
Dumbledore's eyes did not stay on Ivan for too long, and he quickly looked away. His expression turned serious, and his tone struck a chord in the minds of anyone who heard.
"These dementors will be at every entrance to the school, I must warn you. No one is allowed to leave the school while they are there. No tricks, tricks, or disguises will fool the dementors - not even Including the invisibility cloak!”
"Be especially careful not to have any kind of conflict with the dementors! They are very dangerous, and there are so many of them that a young wizard who has learned to call for divine protection cannot handle them!"
Dumbledore looked around at everyone and saw that they were sitting upright. He heard what he just said in his heart, and then nodded with satisfaction.
He deliberately did not mention Ivan's feat on the train, nor did he give any extra points to Ivan's "heroic rescue" from attacking the dementors. I just don’t want anyone to think that’s something worth encouraging and imitate it.
Although the things Ivan did in the past were dangerous, they were all special cases. Those little wizards who wanted to imitate would not be able to find a target.
This time is different. There are really a lot of dementors in the school.
