Chapter 800 The Disappearing Fireplace

The sound of the door being pushed became louder and louder. Ivan frowned, thinking about letting Filch in and giving him a forgetting spell.

But this idea was quickly thrown out of Ivan's mind.

The commotion here may arouse other people's ideas. Just getting rid of Filch will not solve the current dilemma.

"Dobby...Dobby!" Ivan snapped his fingers and shouted softly.

The crumpled house elf appeared in the open space next to him and said in a sharp voice. "Sir, what can you do for Dobby?"

"Can you use Apparition to move this fireplace?" Ivan pointed to the fireplace next to him and asked.

Dobby followed Ivan's direction and looked over. The gleaming golden fireplace in the candlelight almost blinded his eyes.

However, after being stunned for a short time, Dobby quickly reacted.

After all, Ivan would ask him to transport some gold products back from time to time.

Originally, these things were mortgaged to those pure-blood families in exchange for equal amounts of Galleons, but the money was indeed obtained, but no one dared to collect the things, so they were all piled up at home.

Now that the home already has gold tables and chairs, gold cabinets, and gold teapots, it seems that now there will be another gold fireplace!

Dobby was very happy. If he could, he would change everything in his house into gold.

"How about it? Can it be moved?" Ivan asked.

"It's too big, sir..." Dobby stretched out his hand to show the size of the fireplace, and shook his head dejectedly. It didn't have enough magic power to take this thing away at once.

"Then I'll try to make it as small as possible... The magic blade is invisible!" Ivan took out the wand from his waist and waved it one after another. The invisible magic blade soon divided the fireplace into dozens of parts.

The huge gold nugget that was cast with a floating spell fell to the ground, making a slight muffled sound.

He used the shrinking spell to shrink these huge gold nuggets to only a quarter of their original size, then looked at Dobby and asked again. "Is this okay?"

Dobby nodded, and Dangzhi pressed his hands on the two gold nuggets and started to apparate.

After going back and forth for more than a dozen times, all the decomposed fireplaces were moved away.

Outside the door, the sound of Filch banging on the door became louder and louder.

Ivan cleaned up the surrounding traces on his own, and ignored Filch's intention. He cast a magic on the door. Even if he banged on the door for a whole day, the other party would not be able to get in...

"What's going on? Filch?" Another familiar voice suddenly rang in the corridor.

"Professor McGonagall, I caught a kid wandering out at night, and he's hiding in the conference room! But he cast a spell on the door, and I can't get in. Can you help me open the door?" Filch Shouting excitedly.

"Give way, Alohomora~ (Alohomora opens)" Professor McGonagall waved her wand gently, and with a snap, the door lock was opened.

Filch eagerly opened the door and walked in quickly, with a slightly excited look on his face.

However, to his surprise, the large conference room was empty, with no one in it.

"Come out quickly, you can't run away, I've caught you!" Filch shouted loudly, holding an oil lamp. He thought that the damn kid must still be in this conference room, but just hiding somewhere.

Thinking of this, Filch took steps to find every place where he could hide someone. He was thinking about the bill that had just been passed a few days ago. He always missed the feeling of hanging erring students from the ceiling. Maybe we can revisit it today.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Filch was very disappointed. There was no one in the conference room at all.

"Damn it, he must have been hiding behind the door and escaped using the Disguise Spell!"

Filch cursed and muttered to himself, and when he was about to return to the door, he unexpectedly discovered that Mag, who came in with him, was staring at a wall in trance.

"What's wrong, Professor McGonagall?" Filch asked strangely.

"I remember, should there be a... fireplace here?" Professor McGonagall stared at the neat stone bricks on the wall and said very uncertainly.

"What?" Filch was confused for a moment, and then he quickly realized this. Looking at the empty wall, Filch couldn't help but feel a ridiculous feeling in his heart.

Could it be that a thief came to the castle and stole the fireplace late at night?

are you crazy? ! Why steal the fireplace?

…

While the two of them were guessing, Ivan had already returned to the dormitory. After simply catching up on his sleep before dawn, Ivan pretended to be fine and went to the auditorium to have breakfast with Harry and others.

As expected, the disappearance of the fireplace in the conference room had spread, and many strange rumors had spread.

Harry and Ron were a little unconvinced at first. How could the fireplace be stolen? But after taking a look in the conference room, the two had to admit that the rumors might be true.

Hermione analyzed it scientifically and rigorously. "It's not easy to take such a big fireplace out of the school, let alone hide it from Filch and Professor McGonagall, so someone must have used a powerful disappearing spell on the fireplace!"

"This is too weird, using a disappearing spell on a fireplace?" Ron complained.

"Well... it was probably because I was too nervous after being discovered and lost control of my magic power." Hermione guessed, then looked at Ivan and asked. "What do you think? Ivan?"

"How do I know? It's just a fireplace and it's not valuable...who would steal this?" Ivan yawned and said casually.

As the culprit who moved the fireplace, Ivan had no intention of revealing the truth at all. Instead, he led Harry and others' thoughts to a dead end with just a few words.

Although this matter is a big deal, as long as no clues are found, it will probably be settled in the end.

After all, a fireplace is not such a precious thing, just spend a few Galleons to install another one...

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. Apart from studying, Ivan focused almost all his energy on improving his strength. Even the usual gatherings were suspended to avoid being discovered by Umbridge.

He needs to master the full power of the Magic Stone as soon as possible. Only in this way can he escape unscathed from the siege of massive wizards.

The news from Knockturn Alley never stopped for a day, and a large amount of good or bad information was continuously conveyed to him through Dobby.

The worst thing is that the patriarch of the Nott family broke away from the Imperius Curse a day ago and went to an unknown place...

"Damn it, I can't even look at someone who's been hit by the Imperius Curse! But at this time..." Ivan threw the envelope into the fire with a headache and muttered to himself.

Dobby responded hesitantly. "Mr. Flan said that there have been too many manpower needs to be mobilized recently, so Mr. Nott's supervision has been neglected... and..."

"And Nott has been very honest for more than a year. They have become a little lax, right?" Ivan sighed helplessly. Not to mention taking care of Nott's werewolves, even he almost forgot that there was such a person. unstable factors.

Previously, considering that the power of the Nott family was needed when running for minister, I temporarily spared the other party's life. I didn't expect that something would happen at this juncture.
