Chapter 502 Ivan: As Long as You Hide Enough Cards, No One Can Defeat Me!

On the other side, Sirius, who had once again transformed into animagus form, kept changing his position, sniffing vigorously in the thick fog, and various smells reached his nose.

However, since there had just been a battle, the air was filled with the burnt smell of the burned wooden table, so it was not easy to accurately identify the various smells.

"Well, it's strange that Lupine and Harry are about ten meters behind. Where is Ivan?" Sirius murmured to himself. He ran over following the smell that was still in the air, only to find that there was no one here at all. He could only It is speculated that Ivan may have stayed here.

Just as Sirius was hesitating, the hairs on his hair suddenly stood up, and a warning sign appeared in his mind.

Without any hesitation, Sirius obeyed his instinct and pounced forward, rolling several times vigorously.

At the same time, a red beam of light flew out from the thick fog on the side, hitting the position where he originally stood, and blasting a small crater in the wooden board.

Sirius's expression changed, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw more beams of light flashing out of the thick fog.

Sirius was sweating coldly, and could only run in the opposite direction, changing his direction from time to time, trying to get rid of Ivan and disappear into the thick fog again by relying on the excellent mobility of the Animagus.

To Sirius's expectation, no matter how he changed his position, Ivan could always find him immediately.

At first, Sirius thought Ivan was judging based on the sound he made while running, so he simply changed back into his human form and cast a spell to cause some noise to interfere.

But even so, it was of no use. Ivan was still able to find him immediately, hiding in the thick fog and casting a few magic spells over him.

"This is impossible? How did he know my location?" Sirius was tired of running for his life, but he couldn't figure it out. He quickly couldn't dodge and was hit head-on by a red beam.

The wand in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand, spinning into the mist, and his body fell heavily into the pile of debris behind.

A wooden sign that fell to the ground nearby was instantly activated into a long rope, which was rolled up silently and tied up Sirius tightly.

At this time, Ivan walked out of the thick fog, stretched out his hand to catch the flying wand, then looked at the tied up Sirius and said with a smile.

"It seems you lost this time, Sirius!"

"Okay! That's right!" Sirius tried to break free and found that the rope was tied very tightly. He also noticed that Ivan had been pointing the wand at him without any slack. He could only nodded helplessly. .

After Ivan untied his restraints, Sirius got up from the ground with a grin on his face. He had endured the fight just now, but now that he relaxed, he immediately felt the burning pain from the wound.

"Heal the scar!" Ivan shook his head, stepped forward, put the wand against his wound, and used healing magic.

Green fluorescence flashed on the top of the wand, and the torn wound on the arm quickly healed under the influence of magic.

"You can actually do healing magic?" Sirius was very surprised. He really wanted to ask if there was anything this little wizard couldn't do.

"It's always good to learn more, right?" Ivan explained casually. After repairing a few wounds, he suddenly frowned because some sawdust from the previous battle had been embedded in the wounds and could not be healed directly.

Ivan had no choice but to cast a spell to tear the wound wider and pick out the sharp pieces of wood and gravel.

Sirius inhaled in pain, but after hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, his face suddenly became very calm. Only the corners of his mouth that twitched from time to time showed that he was enduring the pain.

Ivan looked at Sirius' sudden change of expression in surprise, and then saw worried Lupine and Harry running over.

"Sirius! Are you okay?" Harry looked at the injuries on Sirius' arms and chest and asked quickly.

"It's okay, they're just minor injuries. It's normal to get injured in battle!" Sirius waved his hands, pretending not to care, and then his face twitched, but it was Ivan who shot a sharp Gravel was picked out of the flesh.

However, he still managed to keep his expression calm and did not make a fool of himself in front of Harry.

"You are taking too many risks! You actually used that level of magic in a competition. Do you know what the consequences will be if you lose control?" Lu Ping was worried and a little angry at the same time, and couldn't help but reprimanded. .

The intensity of the battle just now was beyond his expectation. It could be described as a life and death fight, so when he realized that the battle was over, he rushed over with Harry as soon as possible.

"Don't say that, Remus! Of course we can control our own magic, isn't that okay?" Sirius replied slightly embarrassed.

He had been in Azkaban for more than ten years, and he had not experienced such a hearty battle for a long time, and he accidentally got a little excited.

In addition, Ivan's strength greatly exceeded his expectations, forcing him to use some powerful magic to increase his chances of winning.

Lu Ping shook his head helplessly and did not mention this matter again.

"Who won this competition?" Harry asked curiously.

"Sirius, you won't be defeated again, right?" Lupine looked at the embarrassed Sirius and Ivan, who was neatly dressed and calm, and he had a guess.

"Yes! As you can see, I lost again!" Sirius shrugged helplessly, "By the way, Ivan, how did you determine where I was before?"

"It's just a little detection magic!" Ivan explained casually.

In fact, he used blood magic to become a bat and used ultrasonic positioning to determine Sirius's movements.

However, Ivan was not prepared to expose his bloodline magic. He gained a lot from this battle. While absorbing Sirius's fighting skills, Ivan also deeply realized the importance of hiding trump cards!

He had only used his snake eyes and magic ring a few times in front of Sirius before Sirius found a way to target them and restricted them.

And the reason why he was able to defeat Sirius easily was because of the Boggart transformation of blood magic that was unknown to the other party.

It was precisely because he didn't know that Ivan could turn into a bat and use ultrasonic positioning that Sirius made the wrong decision and blocked his vision with thick fog.

This made Ivan understand the truth. As long as he hides enough cards, no one can defeat him!

Sirius on the other side saw that Ivan was unwilling to say more and didn't ask any more questions. He kept his promise and agreed to Ivan's participation in the operation to salvage Regulus' body.

"What about me?" Harry asked anxiously.

"You have to stay at home and wait for news from us!" Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said.

"You can all go together, but I have to stay here and wait for you to come back?!" Harry said unwillingly.

"Harry! This action is too dangerous. You students should not have participated in it in the first place." Lupine gave a few words of comfort, then looked at Ivan and spoke again.

"Ivan has proved his strength by defeating Sirius. He won't hold us back when the time comes. Are you ready to give it a try?"

Lupine said this just to make Harry retreat, but unexpectedly he saw Harry nod solemnly.

Sirius's face suddenly darkened. It was true that he lost to Ivan, but that didn't mean that he was weak. He had to let Harry know how powerful he was right away!

Harry tried hard to think about the dueling skills he had learned in the second-year dueling club, and even carefully agreed on the tactics.

He had heard Professor Flitwick say in the Charms class that no matter how powerful a wizard was, he would lose his wand if he was hit by a disarming curse. This meant that he had no chance of winning!

Unfortunately, it turned out that no amount of ideas could make up for the gap in strength and combat experience. The two sides only fought for a few rounds before Harry's wand was confiscated by Sirius.

Harry had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going along in frustration.

Ivan on the side looked at Harry who was easily defeated and shook his head secretly. If Harry had spent more time studying on weekdays, he would not have been defeated in a few moments.

After all, Harry's foundation is still very good, he is very talented in protective magic, and the reflexes he has developed as a Quidditch player for many years are also applicable in battle.

After two battles, one defeat and one victory, Sirius also sobered up a lot.

At least he didn't rush to the cave to fish out Regulus like before. Instead, he discussed specific countermeasures with Ivan, Lupine and others, and asked Kreacher to buy some magic potions. Bring the materials.

It wasn't until the evening that the few people who were ready took the potion they had just brewed and prepared to set off.

Lu Ping suddenly remembered something and said to everyone worriedly. "There are three of us now, plus Regulus, there are four of us. If something happens in that cave, can Kreacher bring us out together?"

Sirius immediately realized this and looked at Kreacher, waiting for his answer.

The old house elf hesitated for a moment. Although it was able to escape from the dangerous cave twice in a row, it clearly felt a huge obstacle when it used teleportation magic, and it consumed much more magic power than usual. few.

Therefore, if we want to ensure absolute safety, we may only be able to take one person at a time and move everyone away in four times.

Thinking of this, Kreacher didn't hide anything and told the truth truthfully.

After listening to Kreacher's story, Sirius and Lupine were somewhat worried. In this case, the risk of this operation increased a lot.

"How about this, can't we just call a house elf over?" Ivan felt that it was not safe, so after thinking about it, he snapped his fingers and said hello.

"More than!"

As soon as Ivan finished speaking, an ugly house elf with big flashing eyes appeared in the open space in front of him.

"Dobby is at your service. Do you have any instructions? Sir!" the house elf said loudly, looked around curiously, and greeted Harry happily.

Harry nodded awkwardly in response. Dobby didn't leave a good impression on him the few times they met before. Instead, he tricked him several times during their second year. Harry still remembered this.

"Dobby, I want you to go to a place with us and cooperate with Kreacher to bring us out when necessary." Ivan briefly introduced the matter. As for the more specific details, he was going to Explanations were being made on the way.

Dobby agreed without hesitation. Although he and Ivan had an employment relationship in name, they were actually no different from slaves. The only difference was that they received a meager salary each month.

"By the way, Ivan, Dobby is your house elf?" Sirius looked at Dobby in surprise.

Last summer, because he was so busy thinking about Peter, he had forgotten about it, and now he felt a little strange when he thought about it.

Generally speaking, only pure-blood wizarding families with prominent ancestors can have a house elf, and the Hals family is obviously not among them.

"No, I hired Dobby. It once belonged to the Malfoy family, but it is now free!" Ivan shook his head and explained.

"Yes, gentlemen, Dobby is now a free elf! The kind Mr. Hals hired Dobby and offered to pay him a silver Sickle a week!"

Dobby said proudly, and then turned to look at Ivan. He looked very moved and was about to shed tears. He continued to speak choked with sobs.

"And Mr. Sir gave Dobby a day off last year. My God! Mr. Hals is such a great man!"

Sirius, Lupine and Harry all looked at Ivan with a strange look, which made the latter feel embarrassed and wanted to block Dobby's mouth with a gag spell.

Dobby's words made Ivan feel like Zhou Bapi, and Dobby was his slave worker, and he was even more grateful to him.

But before Ivan could explain, an angry scream suddenly sounded.

"You are a disgrace!"

The old house elf Kreacher trembled and looked at Dobby angrily, as if staring at an enemy.

"Dirty, despicable traitor! You should be ashamed! A qualified house elf does not need salary or vacation! No house elf will betray his master," Kreacher's words were very sharp, and very hoarse and Ugly.

"Dobby doesn't think so. Dobby is a free house elf. He needs wages and vacations!" Dobby was not knocked down by Kreacher's words and said to himself.

It had heard similar words hundreds of times at Hogwarts, and it couldn't shake its mind at all.

Kreacher was almost driven crazy. He opened his mouth and wanted to continue to refute, but was stopped by Sirius.

"That's enough, Kreacher! Ivan is Dobby's master, I mean the employer, this is a matter between them!" Sirius said.

Kreacher stopped talking, but everyone could still vaguely hear Kreacher muttering something in a low voice.
