Chapter 401 The Annoying Bronze Door Knocker and the Damaged Broom

Luna's tone was a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood and walked into the Ravenclaw lounge.

The open bronze door slowly closes

Watching Luna's back disappear in front of him, Ivan was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly. Of course he understood what Luna was saying, but was his emotional change so obvious?

Ivan always thought that he disguised himself well, but Harry, Ron, and Neville who were in the same dormitory with him never noticed anything was wrong.

Ivan, who had stayed in front of the door without moving for a long time, made the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker mistakenly think that he wanted to go in. The eagle's mouth opened and closed, and a mysterious voice rang out.

"What is the nature of magic?"

The sound of the bronze door knocker interrupted Ivan's thinking.

Hearing this familiar question, Ivan rolled his eyes, took out his wand and put it down again. He resisted the thought of removing the knocker and decisively turned around and left.

All the way back to the Gryffindor lounge, Ivan opened the door to the dormitory, and everyone except him had returned.

Ron, Neville and others gathered around Harry and were talking.

"Ivan, where were you just now? We have been waiting on the court for a long time and haven't waited for you to come back." Hearing the movement outside the door, Ron turned his head and said.

"You know, I never like liveliness. They are too enthusiastic." Ivan shook his head and explained casually, then closed the door and walked into the dormitory, saying curiously. "By the way, why are you all gathering here?"

"We were looking at Harry's broom. When he fell from the sky, the broom was blown away by the wind and hit the Whomping Willow by the lake. The Whomping Willow never liked having things hit it, so this That’s what the broom turned into!”

Ron said helplessly and stepped away.

Only then did Ivan see the remains of a broom that had been broken into several pieces on the table next to Harry's bed. It was obviously impossible to use it with such damage.

Harry also had a collapsed expression on his face. This Nimbus 2000 was a gift given to him by Professor McGonagall when he joined the Quidditch team in the first grade. It has been with him for more than two years and has gone through countless ups and downs.

Harry even remembered every time he rode a broomstick to catch the Golden Snitch. Unfortunately, this broomstick could no longer accompany him!

More importantly, everyone on the Slytherin team, their mortal enemy, has a Nimbus 2001. If he rides an old-fashioned comet broom and competes with Malfoy for the Golden Snitch, he will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of speed. It's even harder to pull back the score and win the Quidditch trophy!

In response, Ivan had to shake his head and said that there was nothing he could do, and he did not know how to repair the broomstick technology.

In addition, the Firebolt sold to Harry by Sirius, a wealthy man, should arrive in a day or two, so after Ivan comforted Harry casually, he stopped caring and turned his attention to Scabbers.

This fat mouse is still living a very well-fed life. He doesn't seem to be in any danger, or he doesn't remember anything. He is currently lying on Ron's bedside, chewing on a piece of multi-flavor beans, which looks nothing like the original one. Time and space are running around in fear and uncertainty.

Ivan nodded with satisfaction, but he has indeed started to solve Peter's matter recently. After all, it is not a problem to keep delaying it until Dumbledore comes back.

He thought he might have a good chat with Lupine after tomorrow's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Let's try to convince Lupine first.

The next day, in the morning, in Defense Against the Dark Arts class,

Lupine, who looked a little pale, pointed at several ugly creatures imprisoned in cages and explained to everyone.

"In this class, I will tell you how to deal with red hats!"

"As you can see, they look a bit like elves! But I need to remind you that they are not as smart as elves, and they are cruel in nature. They especially like to lurk in places where blood has been shed.

For example, staying in the dungeons of the castle and the tunnels of the abandoned battlefield, waiting for opportunities to attack those who pass by."

Lu Ping talked eloquently to the young wizards about the red hat's coping methods. From time to time, he mixed in one or two interesting legends or short stories, which aroused everyone's interest.

Then Lupine opened the cage and grabbed a red hat, and asked each little wizard to try to deal with this creature. They could recite a spell to expel them, or they could use a stun spell to stun the red hat.

"Anyway, the secret to dealing with them is not to be afraid. As long as you can overcome your fear, you will find that red hats are actually easy to deal with!" Lu Ping reminded.

For a well-prepared wizard, most magical creatures in the magical world pose no threat, otherwise wizards would not be the masters of the magical world.

Although the people here are all third-year wizards, relatively speaking, the red hats have no weapons in their hands, so the threat level is not high, making them suitable for actual combat training.

"Hals, this time it's up to you to set an example for everyone!" Lupine looked at Ivan and said.

Ivan nodded and walked to the center.

Lupine shouted for everyone to stay back, then waved his wand and untied the ropes that bound Red Cap.

After this ugly, goblin-like strange creature broke free from its restraints, it screamed wildly, took steps, and rushed towards Ivan who was closest.

For Ivan, he naturally handled such a small scene calmly. After waiting for the red hat to get closer, Ivan raised his hand casually after predicting the red hat's movement.

"All petrified!"

The light of the curse immediately hit the red hat's body, freezing it in place. The red hat even retained a twisted and ferocious look on his face.

"Great petrification spell! Five points for Gryffindor!" Lupine clapped his hands and walked out, saying to the people behind him. "See? As long as you stay calm, this thing isn't that hard to deal with!"

The little wizards who saw Ivan easily subduing the red hat were immediately eager to try, and couldn't wait to deal with this magical creature personally.

Considering that the two colleges are taking classes together this time and there are a lot of people, I am afraid that the one-on-one sessions may not be completed until the end of get out of class.

Lupine asked Ivan to temporarily serve as his assistant, responsible for supervising the Gryffindor wizards to deal with the red hats, so that two people could be treated at the same time.

Lupine was still very reassured about Ivan's strength. Yesterday evening, he heard that Ivan had driven away hundreds of dementors that broke into the school and saved all the students in the school. You must know that many adult wizards have Can't do this.

"Harry, Malfoy, it's your turn now." Lupine said.

The two people who were named stepped forward together. Harry looked a little nervous, staring at the petrified red hat, while Malfoy looked confident.
