Chapter 392 Why Are You Still Out so Late?

Just as Ivan was about to return to the Gryffindor lounge, he unexpectedly bumped into Professor McGonagall, who was responsible for patrolling tonight, in the corridor.

"Hals, why are you still out so late? I remember Professor Flitwick reminded me during dinner that you'd better stay in your dormitory at night these days."

Seeing Ivan running around alone in the castle, Professor McGonagall looked very serious and asked dissatisfiedly.

But I haven’t had dinner yet. Ivan complained silently in his heart.

Apart from meeting Sirius once this afternoon and evening, he spent the rest of the day in the Room of Requirement testing out his newly acquired abilities. He had no idea what Flitwick said in the Great Hall during dinner.

It's just that it's not convenient to tell Professor McGonagall about these things, so after Ivan hesitated for a while, he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall! I'm more used to finding an open place to practice magic after dinner. I was so absorbed today that I didn't notice the time."

Listening to what Ivan said, Professor McGonagall's serious expression suddenly softened a lot.

"Hals, although it's a good habit to take time out to practice magic every day, it's been more dangerous outside recently. You'd better take a break for a while. What if Black is still hiding in the castle and you accidentally bump into him?"

Professor McGonagall offered consolation in a heartfelt voice, and then emphasized the danger of Black. She was worried that Ivan would take it lightly due to his superior strength.

After all, in her opinion, even if Ivan's magic level is far higher than that of his peers, and even reaches a level comparable to that of an adult wizard, he is still just a thirteen-year-old child with little combat experience. It will be difficult to face the vicious Sirius Black. There is a chance of winning.

Ivan had no intention of refuting, and very humbly promised to pay attention next time.

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, said a few words and let Ivan go, preparing to continue patrolling the castle. However, before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly:

"By the way, Hals, remember to persuade Harry more when you return to the dormitory to stop him from being too impulsive."

Harry? What's up with him?

Ivan was confused and wanted to ask Professor McGonagall what happened.

When he opened his mouth, Ivan stopped again, because he didn't know if this matter was also mentioned in the auditorium. If he asked casually, he might expose the fact that he had been missing for most of the day.

Thinking of this, Ivan responded casually. He would just go back to the dormitory and ask Ron and Harry.

"Hey, boy, password!" A jumping voice rang out as he walked to the door of Gryffindor's dormitory.

Ivan looked up and saw that the portrait of the Fat Lady hanging at the door was gone, replaced by a portrait of Sir Cadogan and his fat gray horse.

The fact that Black easily slipped into Gryffindor with a Confusion Curse hit the Fat Lady hard. Although no one blamed her, the Fat Lady blamed herself very much and insisted that she was unable to shoulder the responsibility of the goalkeeper.

After the professors' persuasion failed, they had to give the Fat Lady some time to calm down and replaced her with Sir Cadogan, the only one willing to serve as goalkeeper.

Compared with the dutiful Fat Lady, the newly appointed Sir Cadogan is not so likable. He often provokes others to duel with him, and he also changes passwords very diligently.

"You are a cunning liar, right? If you haven't had time to change your password," Ivan said helplessly.

He could only pray for better luck, otherwise he would have to imitate Black and cast a confusion spell on the other party.

"Yes, you got it right! Remember to be wary of this and come in quickly!" Sir Cadogan mounted his fat horse and opened the door waving his sword.

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and walked straight into the Gryffindor lounge. The blazing fire burned vigorously in the fireplace, and the billowing heat dispelled the coldness of the night. You could still faintly hear the sounds of several little wizards who were not sleeping, laughing and chasing each other in the lounge.

Ivan deliberately took a few steps closer so that he could hear clearly.

All kinds of playful laughter continued to reach his ears. Soon, Ivan confirmed that at least in the non-transformed state, laughter had no effect on him.

This discovery made Ivan very happy, and he returned to the dormitory in a happy mood. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the quarrel between Harry and Ron.

"Calm down, Harry! People from the Ministry of Magic will catch him sooner or later, and you don't have to die for it!" Ron looked at Harry beside him worriedly and said.

However, Harry's face was very ugly. He didn't appreciate it at all and said hysterically.

"How do you want me to calm down? They knew the reason why Black was chasing me, but they kept it secret from me for so long! Do you know what I saw and heard when I met the dementors on the train?

I heard my mother screaming, begging Voldemort again, begging him to spare my life! If you heard your mother scream like that before she was killed, you would also want to find the betrayer and take revenge yourself! "

Ron had a helpless expression on his face. Fortunately, he heard the movement at the door. He turned his head to look at Ivan and greeted him happily. "Ivan, you came just in time, please hurry up and persuade Harry!"

"What happened?" Ivan was very surprised. From the words of the two people, he guessed a general idea, but he didn't know whether it was right or not.

Ron didn't hold back and explained the cause and effect.

Ivan then learned that Harry had been brooding about it since Lupine accidentally let it slip last night. During today's after-school time, he kept pestering professors in various subjects to ask about the situation.

Although McGonagall and others were very strict with their words, the professors were not the only ones who knew the situation. In the end, Harry got the information from Malfoy.

The price was to be ridiculed by Malfoy, saying that he was a coward who only dared to hide in Hogwarts and did not have the courage to seek revenge from Black.

Harry was naturally so angry that he wanted to find Sirius Black for a fight to the death! Fortunately, Ron caught him in time, and Hermione quietly notified Professor McGonagall to stop him.

"Are you also going to stop me from going to Black to take revenge?" Harry had a cold face and was really angry.

However, Ivan shook his head gently and said, "No, I don't plan to do that!"

Harry was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ivan to say that.

Ron stared at Ivan with wide eyes. He suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in letting Ivan comfort Harry.
