Chapter 775 The Essence of Magic Power

Helena might have noticed something was wrong, so Ivan suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to talk, trying to get more clues.

They chatted until the early hours of the morning, before Ivan said goodbye to the ghost lady as usual.

"Hals, I want to ask you to do a favor, can you?" Helena suddenly said.

"Of course it's no problem. We are friends, aren't we?" Ivan nodded. Helena finally told him the location of the magic storage room. Now he would naturally not refuse the request.

"I wish you could bring my mother's crown..." Helena said hesitantly.

"Okay, I will get it for you as soon as possible... But I can't find where Dumbledore is recently. The crown should still be there with him. Besides, this thing is broken..."

Having said this, Ivan looked at Helena with a slight hesitation. If he was not mistaken, as a ghost, Helena could not pick up or touch real objects.

"I just want to take one last look at it..." Helena said faintly.

After thinking about Helena's experiences during her lifetime, Ivan understood a little. He looked at the ghost lady with sympathy, then transformed into an owl and flew out of the wide open window.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning broke through the darkness and sprinkled onto the earth.

Ivan stayed up all night but was still energetic. He had no intention of returning to the dormitory to catch up on his sleep. Instead, he hurried to the eighth floor and walked back and forth three times on the opposite side of the huge tapestry, thinking silently in his heart.

[I need to enter the magic storage room at Hogwarts. 】

When Ivan opened his eyes again, a door appeared out of thin air on the flat wall.

"As long as there's a response..." Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that it was feasible to enter the magic storage room directly through the Room of Requirement.

However, in such an important place, there will most likely be some obstacles set up, such as statue guards and the like, to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the power system that destroys the entire castle.

So before opening the door, Ivan pulled out his wand to prepare for possible attacks at any time.

Inside the door is a square space, surrounded by darkness, which looks a bit scary.

Ivan walked in without fear, waving his wand to illuminate with a powerful lighting spell.

Dots of fluorescence gradually dispersed the deep darkness, but to Ivan's expectation, there was only one simple bronze door in the entire space, which looked very similar to the one in the Ravenclaw lounge. There is an eagle-shaped knocker on the door handle.

Inside the door is another door?

What kind of protection is this?

Ivan was a little confused, because the bronze door knocker gave him a familiar feeling.

You can’t just let yourself answer questions, right?

Ivan walked to the door anxiously, and sure enough, the bronze eagle slowly asked.

[Excuse me. What is the nature of magic? 】

Ivan was silent for a long time, his face dark and scary. Only the sound of the bronze eagle machine echoed in the square space.

After a while, Ivan suddenly raised his wand and gestured at the door, but finally put it down and decided to generously give the knocker a chance!

"Change the question!" Ivan said calmly.

However, the rigid Bronze Eagle spoke again.

[Excuse me. What is the nature of magic? 】

"Well, since you want to know so much, let me tell you that the essence of magic is-" Ivan raised the wand expressionlessly, and a wisp of hot flame slowly emerged.

"Confringo! (Thunderbolt Explosion)"

The flames expanded in the wind and turned into a large fireball several meters high, which quickly hit the bronze door. The next moment, a huge roar sounded, and the sea of ​​​​hot fire enveloped the entire space.

After more than a minute, the flames all over the sky gradually dissipated, but the bronze door remained intact and still repeated the question.

"So hard?" Ivan couldn't help but exclaimed. After taking a few steps closer to take a closer look, he discovered some clues.

A large amount of protective magic was burned into the door, otherwise it would be impossible to block one of his thunderbolt explosions.

As for forcibly breaking through, it is not impossible. Ivan estimates that four or five hours of frantic attack should be enough. However, in that case, the magic stored in the Room of Requirement will be completely emptied, because it is the castle that maintains the operation of protective magic. Magic stored up over thousands of years.

"Rowina Ravenclaw, you really posed a problem for me..." Ivan stared at the bronze door in front of him with a headache and sighed helplessly.

He finally mastered those complicated alchemy formations and spent a lot of time and effort to gain Helena's favor. He thought he was infallible and could start making the magic stone right away, but he was blocked by a door.

…

Ivan, who had been noisy all morning, returned without success and had to go to the auditorium to enjoy today's breakfast in disgrace.

Harry, Ron and Hermione were already sitting at the long Gryffindor table. When they saw Ivan walking in from the hall, Hermione hurriedly said hello.

"Ivan, this way!"

Ron on the side asked curiously where Ivan had been that morning.

"Find a place to practice magic..." Ivan quickly stepped forward, sat down on the empty seat, and replied casually.

Practicing magic?

Harry and Ron looked at each other. People who are more talented than you work harder than you, and both of them suddenly felt that the pie in their hands no longer tasted good.

Hermione also looked at Ivan with admiration, and immediately decided that she would have to work harder in the future.

While several people were thinking about things silently, a messenger owl flew in from outside, hovered and dropped a newspaper in front of Ivan and others.

"It's the new issue of the Daily Prophet!" Hermione picked up the newspaper immediately, glanced at it a few times, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn.

"You all take a look, we are going to be in trouble soon!" Hermione said angrily, unfolding the newspaper and placing it in the middle.

On the cover was a half-length photo of Dolores Umbridge. She was smiling and winking at them. The title below was so eye-catching that Harry and Ron took a breath. Cool air.

[The Ministry of Magic seeks education reform, and Dolores Umbridge is appointed as the first Senior Investigator! 】

Ivan had expected it and was not too surprised. After quickly browsing the content, he made a rough summary.

The Ministry of Magic recently passed a decree called "Education Order No. 22", which allows Minister Fudge to directly intervene in the appointment and dismissal of Hogwarts staff.

At the same time, Fudge also added a position called Senior Investigator in Hogwarts out of thin air, which will be filled by Umbridge, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

This means that the Ministry of Magic is going to take action against Hogwarts!
