Chapter 63 You Even Believe This, How Do You Ask Me to Explain It?
Dumbledore did not expect this situation to occur, but he only hesitated for a moment before reacting, with the expression on his face remaining unchanged.
"Mr. Seamus Finnigan, I think I have explained it clearly before, as to why you see this."
Dumbledore paused, then smiled again. "Perhaps you could ask Mr. Hals how he did it."
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, everyone's attention was once again focused on Ivan, and even several professors cast curious glances.
Ivan was confused. He didn't expect that the kind-hearted old principal in front of him would actually trick him at this time. He hurriedly cast a questioning look at Dumbledore, but saw the centenarian blinking at him. The look in his eyes clearly meant that he should find his own reasons to explain.
Ivan was depressed for a while. He felt that this must be Dumbledore's revenge for burning the Forbidden Forest.
Facing everyone's questioning glances, Ivan could only shrug his shoulders.
"Do you believe that a first-year wizard tamed a dragon and rode it while breathing fire and flying in the sky? This is too ridiculous."
"We believe it!" George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison.
If it were anyone else, they would still doubt it, but Ivan really has this possibility!
Ivan rolled his eyes helplessly. How should he answer this?
Fortunately, Ivan's explanation still won the approval of most young wizards.
Indeed, dragons are one of the top magical creatures!
Adult dragons are usually much larger than a house, and have bad tempers and ferocious tempers. Even professional dragon taming wizards may not dare to ride on the back of a dragon, because this is often considered offensive by the fire dragon.
Of course, they didn't know that Norbert was only a little over a month old, otherwise they probably wouldn't have thought so.
Because the matter of flying on a dragon was exposed by Simo, Ivan had to hastily eat a few pieces of cake, bid farewell to many delicacies, and quickly ended the dinner.
Hermione, Harry, and Ron also had the same experience, and as insiders, they were also troubled by questions.
They didn't stop until they returned to the dormitory and closed the door, but at the same time they accidentally locked out Neville who was in the same dormitory.
"Ivan, what should we do now? Seamus saw Norbert with his own eyes. Will Hagrid be imprisoned in Azkaban?" Harry said worriedly.
Ron nodded. Not only that, there were quite a few young wizards in the school who heard Norbert's cry, so it was impossible to hide it.
"Don't worry too much. We just need to send Norbert away before the Ministry of Magic comes to inspect. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, I believe Professor Dumbledore can handle it." Ivan comforted.
"Then I'll write a letter to Charlie. He should be halfway there now. I told him to come over tomorrow!" Ron immediately took action, took out an envelope from the drawer and started writing. .
"Remember not to make it too obvious in the letter, and don't even mention the word dragon, lest it be intercepted halfway." Ivan reminded.
"Okay, I understand." Ron felt that this was too cautious, but he still revised it honestly.
After the envelope was sent out, both Harry and Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
Ivan was not worried from the beginning to the end. As Dumbledore is the most influential person in the entire magical world today, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to stir up anything in Hogwarts based on only a few rumors and the testimony of a young wizard. Waves are coming.
After a few people had a secret discussion in the dormitory, they remembered that Neville, who was in the same dormitory, was still locked out of the door by them. When Harry opened the door, the Gryffindor little lions blocking the door were already there. He left, leaving Neville alone.
Poor Neville was like a doormat. Several buttons on his wizard's robe had been torn off during the crowd. He clearly didn't know anything.
Ivan was very embarrassed, and after apologizing profusely, he used the repairing spell to help Neville get the button back.
So many things happened throughout the day that Harry and Ron couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed.
Ivan, after resting in bed for a while, climbed out of bed again at midnight. For him, there was still one most important thing that he had not done.
Before going out, Ivan remembered that the castle would be guarded today, so he tried the magic he had learned before but had never used much - the Disguise Charm!
"Disillusionment Charm~" Ivan chanted the spell, waved the wand and touched his forehead.
In the dark, Ivan only felt something wrapping around his whole body. It was a cold feeling as if he was soaked in water, a bit like egg white, or a little more viscous than that, but not at all. It affects his breathing and walking.
This is a completely different feeling than being in an invisibility cloak. There is no sense of alienation and security of being isolated from the world, but it is more convenient without the restrictions of clothes.
Ivan stood in front of the bed and looked at the small mirror hanging on the right. The mirror reflected the quilt and pillows on the bed, as if through his body.
Night tours of Hogwarts were already familiar to Ivan, especially after possessing the Marauder's Map. The paths used by Filch and the professors on duty to inspect the castle were all avoided by Ivan.
By the way, Ivan also searched carefully and found that Quirrell's name did not appear in the castle.
Maybe he doesn't dare to come back anymore?
Ivan guessed so.
"I need a place to brew potions." Ivan stood on the carpet in front of the Room of Requirement. After walking back and forth three times, he opened the door that appeared and entered the hidden potion storage room.
Compared to the first time we entered, this place is already very different. Nearly one-third of the empty bottles around have been filled with liquids of different colors.
Age-promoting agent, bone-promoting agent, joy agent, fire-retardant agent
These potions were made by Ivan using potion materials stolen from Snape. It would be a waste to leave them there anyway, so it would be better to use them to brush up his proficiency in potions.
And in the middle crucible, there is the blood fusion potion that he prepared for a whole semester!
After a long period of precipitation, the crucible was no longer as chaotic as it was before, and was as clear and transparent as ordinary water.
If Ivan hadn't been witnessing this change day by day, he would have thought that his potion had been secretly replaced.
With a hint of excitement, Ivan took out two test tubes containing the blood of magical creatures from the pocket of the wizard's robe.
