Chapter 788 The Second Package
The quiet principal's office suddenly became noisy, and many portraits of the principal also spoke out about the current principal's negligence in leaving the school for a long time.
"How many times have you been back?" Ivan touched his chin and murmured to himself.
These days, he often stared at the Marauder's Map, but he never saw Dumbledore's name.
Maybe I just missed it...
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at the principals on the wall again and asked. "Does Professor Dumbledore have any plans before he leaves?"
The portraits all shook their heads to express their ignorance.
However, Ivan was a little unwilling to give up and stared at the painting hanging on the wall on the right. In the painting, Dumbledore was drinking a cup of tea leisurely and did not participate in the discussion from beginning to end.
Perhaps noticing Ivan's gaze, Dumbledore in the portrait slowly put down his teacup and waved his hand at Ivan, indicating that he was just a portrait and knew nothing...
Ivan narrowed his eyes, doubtful.
The moving and thinking portraits in the magical world are very special, and are even closely related to the wizard himself.
Usually the painter will cast a kind of wonderful magic on the painting and store it in a place where the wizard in the painting often moves, absorbing the magic (aura) that the other person usually exudes, and let the painting adapt to and simulate the words and deeds of the wizard .
This is also the reason why some of the behaviors in the portraits are very similar to the wizard himself.
For example, this portrait of Dumbledore even guided Snape's actions in the original time and space. The legendary Sword of Gryffindor is hidden in the secret compartment behind the portrait.
Despite this thought, Ivan had nothing to do with the portrait.
Even if powerful magic is cast on it, it's just a painting, and Legilimency won't work. The other party doesn't want to say that he can't just throw it into the fireplace and burn it, right?
Ivan was somewhat depressed, but after finally making a trip to the principal's office, he had no intention of returning empty-handed. He took out the pensieve placed in the cabinet and said to the portraits.
"When Professor Dumbledore comes back, could you please inform him that I will be borrowing the Pensieve for a few days!"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that there is a crown! This is what the daughter of Ravenclaw wants, anyway, I will borrow it first!" Ivan slapped his head, suddenly remembering his promise to Helena, and raised his hand to The Ravenclaw diadem hanging on the branch was also taken down.
The portraits of the principals on the wall were all glaring, and they were very dissatisfied with Ivan's behavior of taking two things without consent. Even Dumbledore in the portrait had a look of helplessness on his face...
…
After leaving the principal's office, Ivan immediately went to the Room of Requirement and temporarily stored the Pensieve there.
After he drained the castle of the excess magic power, the famous Room of Requirement could no longer respond to requests.
Fortunately, the spaces that were created before were not destroyed, so it was easy to find a place to store items.
As for the purpose of "borrowing" the pensieve from the principal's office, of course it was to expose the lie that the Ministry of Magic had painstakingly crafted.
After all, he had promised before to reveal the truth to the students at the next gathering - what could be more direct and effective than witnessing Voldemort's return with his own eyes?
Of course, he will do some processing on these memories, because some things are inconvenient to be exposed after all.
"Where did Professor Dumbledore go?"
On the way back to the lounge, Ivan kept thinking about this problem. He couldn't even confirm whether the other party was still alive, because the last time the portraits saw Dumbledore appeared was more than a month ago.
But no matter what, without Dumbledore's interference, the implementation of the plan will be less concerned.
While thinking about it, Ivan pushed the door open and walked into the dormitory. What made him a little curious was that Harry, Ron and others were gathered at the table by the window, staring at an opened black package.
"Another package? Is it still the same as last time?" Ivan quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, it was sent by the same owl." Ron nodded and responded.
Looking at the candies and small items in the package, Ivan frowned and said with some dissatisfaction. "I should have reminded you before that you must be cautious when dealing with this kind of three-no package and don't open it at will."
"But... the person who sent us the package probably didn't have any ill intentions." Harry said hesitantly, and then handed a note to Ivan. "It says that Umbridge already knows about the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association. Let's be careful lately."
Ivan took a look at the note with some surprise. The content on it was just as Harry said, telling them to be careful about Umbridge. However, it was slightly different from last time. This time, the note stated that the package was addressed to him. of.
While Ivan was thinking about this, Harry, Ron, and Seamus gathered together, speculating about who had leaked the secret.
If Umbridge knew that they organized people to practice magic in private, she would definitely not let them go easily.
"It must have been Pansy and those Slytherins. Hermione didn't invite them that day... They must have secretly told Umbridge about the gathering." Ron said confidently.
Harry and Seamus also thought it was possible.
However, contrary to the expectations of several people, Ivan shook his head directly and rejected their speculation.
"No, this matter has nothing to do with Pansy."
Ivan knew very well that Pansy Parkinson did not have the courage to betray him, so the news must not have leaked from the other party.
As for who it is, it's harder to say.
After all, there were too many people attending that gathering, and there were no coercive measures such as magical contracts, so it was possible to accidentally say something and reveal one's mouth while chatting.
In fact, Ivan didn't care about the leak of the news... Compared to this, he was more concerned about who sent the package.
Ivan turned his head and looked out the window. A gray-white owl was flying quickly towards this side, passed through the open window, and landed directly on his shoulder.
"Have you tracked the movements of that owl? Maka?" Ivan reached out and scratched Maka's neck, asking expectantly.
After an inexplicable package was sent to him last time, he asked Maka to wander around the area during his free time. If an owl came in with a strange package, he would try to follow it.
"Cuckoo~" Maka pecked Ivan's cheek with her beak, jumped up and down on her shoulders, and kept shouting.
Ivan, who had already reached the peak of his eagle language, quickly understood what Maka meant. "Is that so? That owl was in the school's owl shed, and then you saw a student wearing Slytherin robes there? Well... thank you for your hard work..."
