Chapter 825 Does This Count as Bullying a Sick, Lonely Old Man?

"I wonder if this counts as bullying a sick, lonely old man?" Ivan thought maliciously in his heart, but he threw this idea aside in the next second.

Dumbledore is not an ordinary lonely old man. Although this method is a bit despicable, of course the latter is more important than moral integrity and life...

After formulating the corresponding tactics, Ivan's tense mind suddenly relaxed a lot. He then remembered the memory thread Dumbledore gave him, and hesitantly took out the pensieve placed in the Room of Requirement...

…

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Christmas holiday had arrived, and the originally crowded and lively castle suddenly became extremely deserted.

During this period of time, Ivan prepared for the battle with all his strength, barely taking a moment's rest, trying to completely integrate the newly acquired capabilities into the existing combat system before the decisive battle.

In addition, Ivan would also spend an hour or two every day checking the memory threads Dumbledore left for him. Because there were so many, Ivan spent several days to sort them out. All the information contained within.

Just as he thought before, these are all memories of his father.

"Orlando Hals..." Ivan threw aside the last empty glass bottle, looked at the water waves floating in the pensieve, and whispered the man's name.

It has been five years since he traveled through time. Although he is essentially a visitor from another world, Ivan has always been very curious about his father's affairs.

However, Aisia always deliberately hides it from herself and avoids all topics about the other party, so it is not until now that Ivan really understands this nominal father.

But even after browsing these memories, Ivan still has little understanding of the conflict between Asia and Dumbledore.

Although the death of Orlando Hals was indeed related to Dumbledore, there was a reason after all. If it was just like what he saw in his memory, Asia would never hate the white wizard so much.

It seems that I have to go home to ask clearly... Although Dumbledore has not tampered with his memory, he may have concealed some things...

Thinking like this, Ivan gently stroked his hand on the pensieve. The rippling water inside slowly smoothed out, and the picture displayed on it disappeared without a trace.

"It's a good time to test my guess..." After putting the pensieve away, Ivan muttered to himself, closed his eyes and began to sense the power of the Phoenix in his body.

The scorching flames soon appeared around Ivan, surrounding him.

"It's now……"

Ivan suddenly opened his eyes and waved his wand, and the surrounding flames exploded, and the sky-wide fire quickly swallowed him up.

With a sudden spin, when the fire in front of him dissipated, Ivan found that he had left Hogwarts Castle and arrived at the wizard market in Knockturn Alley.

Sure enough, the anti-Apparition circle at Hogwarts only targets wizards' magic.

Ivan confirmed this again. He just tried to use the power of Phoenix blood to assist, and he easily broke through the blockade of the protective circle and successfully performed a spatial displacement.

This also proves that the power of blood is not just as simple as shown. Combined with Dumbledore's warnings in previous years, Ivan guessed that the blood magic marked in the system column is only the most basic ability.

For example, while Phoenix's bloodline gives him the ability to control fire, it also has a certain blessing effect on space magic. If he continues to dig, maybe he can resist the death curse like Fox and be reborn...

But it is a pity that he will have a decisive battle with Dumbledore tomorrow. No matter how great the potential of the fused bloodline is, he will not have time to develop these abilities.

We can only wait until this battle is over before taking the time to continue trying.

Ivan thought in disappointment as he walked towards the safe house.

Along the way, the law enforcers greeted Ivan enthusiastically one by one, their eyes full of admiration, awe and fear.

Such mixed emotions are naturally due to Ivan's record of repelling Voldemort, capturing the Ministry of Magic, and killing the Minister of Magic in public...

Ivan knows exactly what these people are thinking, but he believes that everyone's opinion of him will soon change. With his current strength, he no longer needs to pretend, nor does he need to rely on fear to improve his control over his subordinates.

"Mr. Hals, do you have any orders?" Fulen, who was in charge of the guard, immediately rushed over with several werewolf wizards after noticing the fluctuations in Ivan's magic power, and asked cautiously.

"Where is my mother Asia?" Ivan asked.

"Mrs. Hals is not in the safe house now. She probably went back to the magic shop. Do you need me to send someone to notify her?" Fulen said.

"No, no need, I'll go by myself..." Ivan nodded, not surprised.

Although they are still facing the threat of Voldemort and need the shelter of a safe house, that place is dark and cold after all, and is really not suitable for long-term living.

"By the way, I heard from Pierce that the Ministry of Magic is currently undergoing rectification. It is cleaning out some senior officials who have connections with the Dark Lord. Many important positions will be vacant, so work hard recently. I am very optimistic about you..." Ivan stretched out his hand. Fulen patted him on the shoulder, looked at the werewolf wizards again, and said with a smile.

As one of the first people to join his staff, Ivan saw Fulen's ability and loyalty, and he was qualified for some higher positions.

It's just that Knockturn Alley still needs manpower for defense in the near future, and Pierce has just stabilized the situation, which would cause panic and it would be difficult to immediately take action against senior officials of some important departments, so it was delayed.

Ivan's words made Fulen and others excited. After the war at the Ministry of Magic, Doggett, McNeil, Gleason and others all rose to the position of director due to their merits. It could be said that they rose to the top in one step, making them envious and even slightly jealous...

After all, they are not bad at all when it comes to taking credit. They are still the first people to join. Now with Ivan's statement, Fulen and others are finally relieved.

This shows that Ivan has no intention of burning bridges, nor will he treat them harshly because of their status as werewolf wizards...

After comforting Fulen for a few words, Ivan went straight back to the magic shop to meet with Asia.

Asia was very surprised to see Ivan come back. She happily walked forward and hugged Ivan, nodded his forehead affectionately, and said jokingly. "It's really rare. I thought you didn't plan to come back for Christmas this year?"
