Chapter 561 Ivan: It’s so Difficult for Me!

Seeing the "tragic situation" of Harry and Ron, Ivan immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, quickly closed his mouth, and pretended to look at the owl cage hanging on the side.

Hermione snorted softly, snatched the book she had thrown away from Harry, and then glanced at Ivan, annoyed that Ivan had revealed the events of last year's summer vacation without any obstruction. Come.

Especially seeing that Ivan is completely unresponsive now, the little witch is even more angry...

Ivan looked helpless. He couldn't speak, and he couldn't do it even if he didn't speak.

What a hassle…

Ivan had a headache. Although he lived for eighteen years in his previous life, he spent a large part of the next few years in a hospital bed. A sick man like him really didn't have much experience in coaxing people.

You can't rely on vulgar scenes from movies and TV shows to trick people, right? Then he will definitely be beaten to death!

Just when the car was about to fall into a long silence again, a familiar drawling voice drifted in from the open door.

"…You know what? Dad actually considered sending me to Durmstrang instead of Hogwarts. He knew the headmaster of that school.

Well, you know how he felt about Dumbledore - the man was too fond of Mudbloods - Durmstrang would not allow such scoundrels to enroll. But my mother doesn’t want me to go so far away...

My dad also told me that Durmstrang had a much more reasonable approach to the dark arts than Hogwarts did. Durmstrang's students are really learning black magic, unlike us, who are learning shabby defense techniques..."

Ivan turned his head and looked outside the car.

Malfoy, wearing a Slytherin robe, raised his head proudly, and was walking through the aisles of the train with his two followers, criticizing the shortcomings and injustices of Hogwarts incessantly, showing off A arrogant look.

When passing by this carriage, Malfoy deliberately raised his voice and said in a strange accent. "Oh, of course! For some people, Hogwarts is probably the best place, because they can only go to school here!"

His two followers, Goyle and Clark, giggled at the right time and also responded.

"Malfoy!" Ivan frowned. Of course he could tell who Malfoy was mocking, but when he took out his wand, he was held by a hand.

"Do you want Gryffindor to be deducted points by taking action here?" Hermione glared at Ivan dissatisfied, tiptoed to the box door, and gently closed the door to prevent Malfoy's voice from reaching it. Come in.

But at this moment, Malfoy had already disappeared with Goyle and Krall. He also saw Ivan pulling out the wand just now, and of course he didn't want to stay where he was and get beaten.

"If he likes Durmstrang so much, just let him go. We can't wait for him to transfer to another school!" Hermione returned to her seat and slammed the book in her hand on the table, looking angry. I don’t know if the anger just now was poured onto this.

Although Harry was reluctant to stand up and be a target when Hermione was angry, after holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but look at Ivan and Ron and asked.

"What is Durmstrang? Is it also a magic school? Why would Malfoy want to go there?"

"Well, I seem to have heard of this place somewhere." Ron said vaguely.

Ivan started to explain to Harry, "Durmstrang is one of the three major magic academies in Europe. It was established in Northern Europe. The specific location is very mysterious. I heard that only the students and employees there know about it."

"In addition, the most famous thing about that place is that you can learn black magic openly!" Ivan added.

"You mean they teach dark magic in class?" Harry looked very surprised. He couldn't imagine that there would be a place where dark magic was taught openly. "Didn't Durmstrang become a gathering place for dark wizards?"

"That can't be said. Learning black magic does not mean you are a dark wizard... It depends on how you use it. You must know that during the Wizarding War, Aurors were also allowed to use Unforgivable in the battle with Death Eaters. Curse!" Ivan corrected Harry's concept.

Powerful wizards know some black magic, it's just a question of whether to use it or not.

Of course, there is a certain reason why Hogwarts prohibits young wizards from learning black magic. Many black magic requires users to gather some negative emotions, and its powerful destructive power can easily make people addicted!

In order to change the topic and ease the atmosphere, Ivan talked a lot about the three major colleges, and in the middle he casually asked about what Harry and others had experienced on the Quidditch pitch.

Harry and Ron had no intention of hiding anything and recounted to Ivan their thrilling experiences after watching the Quidditch Cup.

Just like in the original time and space, when they were sleeping in the tent at night, a commotion broke out on the grounds.

A large number of wizards wearing black robes and tall hats, with masks on their faces, sprang out from nowhere, unscrupulously lit the venue tents, and used magic to tease and torture nearby Muggles.

Ivan knew the inside story and knew that it was an operation carried out by Lucius Malfoy and those Death Eaters who hated Muggles.

"Sirius said those people must be Death Eaters and went to trouble them... Ron, Hermione and I ran all the way to the woods for refuge, and also met a strange house elf..."

As Harry spoke, there was still a hint of fear on his face. There were a lot of thugs in the group, and they cast spells without any scruples. If he accidentally bumped into them, he might not be able to resist.

"You said Sirius was causing trouble for them?" Ivan raised his eyebrows, which was something he didn't expect.

"Yes!" Harry nodded, but he was in the woods and didn't see anything specific. He only saw the flickering light of the magic spell flying around.

Then someone recited a strange spell, and a huge green shiny thing flew into the sky, transforming into a huge skeleton, and a winding python emerged from the skull's mouth. .

Recalling the horrific scene, both Harry and Ron couldn't help shrinking their minds. Hermione didn't care about being angry at this time and added seriously.

"According to Mr. Bagman, that is the Dark Mark! In the last wizarding war, the Death Eaters were causing chaos and killing wizards. Muggles usually launch this mark in the sky..."

Listening to Hermione and others' narration, Ivan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The Dark Mark was probably released by Barty Crouch Jr. It seemed that some things were not affected by the flapping wings of his butterfly!
