Chapter 848 Ivan: I Really Don’t Understand What You Little Devils Think.
"I understand, Harry. No one would want to learn magic from that old bat. I really don't know what Professor Dumbledore thinks." Ron patted Harry's shoulder sympathetically and comforted him.
Ivan on the side took a step forward and interrupted the conversation between the two.
"By the way, Harry and Ron, the situation in the wizarding world is very unstable now. Voldemort may attack each of us at any time, so I recently developed a magic that allows us to communicate with each other and convey information. Do you want to give it a try?"
"What magic?" Ron suddenly became interested and asked eagerly.
Harry was equally curious.
"It's a kind of mark magic..." Ivan immediately explained the various functions of the magic mark.
As early as the beginning of last school year, he had thought about engraving Harry and others with magical marks, so as to prevent the mad Voldemort from transferring his hatred to these friends.
It was just the fear of being misunderstood, plus the fact that Dumbledore was still alive at that time and could provide protection to Harry and others, that it had been delayed until now.
"Carving a mark on your arm? Like the mark of the dark devil?!" Ron said subconsciously after hearing what Ivan said.
"There is no right or wrong in this kind of marking magic, it just depends on how we use it..." Ivan patiently explained.
But before he could finish speaking, Ron spoke excitedly. "This is really great!"
Ivan was stunned and looked at Ron a little weirdly. He found that he didn't quite understand what these brats were thinking...
Ron didn't notice Ivan's weird look and continued excitedly. "I have always felt that we should also form a magical organization to fight against the mysterious man together, just like the Order of the Phoenix!"
"Order of the Phoenix? What Order of the Phoenix?" Seamo, who had just entered, looked at the people in the room in confusion.
"Ah, um... we were just talking about what name we should give the newly established secret organization..." Ron explained hesitantly. Only then did he remember that information about the Order of the Phoenix needed to be kept secret.
Simo didn't suspect anything, and his attention was quickly turned to this so-called secret organization. When he learned that Ivan had developed a special magic mark, he also clamored for Ivan to get one for him.
Ivan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly. All the rhetoric he had prepared suddenly became useless.
But it would be nice to spend less effort. After Ivan explained how to use the mark to Harry, Ron, Seamus and Neville, he then took out his wand and started casting spells. In just a few minutes, the brilliant The sleeping dragon mark appeared on the wrists of Harry and others.
"Cool!" Simo touched the vivid fire dragon pattern on his arm and shouted excitedly. Then he asked cautiously as if he had thought of something.
"What do you think would happen if we used it to cheat?"
Ron and Harry were shocked by Seamus' bold idea, but after thinking about it, they unexpectedly discovered that this seemed to be a feasible move. Since they could communicate without any barriers through magic marks, wouldn't it also be possible to use it? To deliver the answer?
"Isn't this bad, Seamus?" Neville, the good boy, said weakly.
But Seamus didn't want to talk to him at all, and happily discussed their cheating plan with Ron.
"You'd better give up this idea. I heard that this year's O.W.Ls exam is very strict. The Ministry of Magic will send some Aurors to supervise it. There may also be equipment to detect magic. If you are caught, you will definitely be expelled! "Ivan said very seriously, but felt helpless in his heart.
He didn't expect that after Simo and others learned about the effectiveness of magic marks in transmitting information, their first reaction was to use it to cheat...
Under Ivan's warning to drop out of school, Seamus and Ron had to regretfully abandon their cheating plan and instead talk about what to name their secret organization.
…
Time has come to February in a blink of an eye. In the nearly one month since school started, the wizarding world has seemed very calm. Many Voldemorts who have been worried about it seem to have disappeared, and the expected attack on Hogwarts has not happened. happened, which made some parents temporarily relieved.
The Daily Prophet even attributed this to the Ministry of Magic, because Pierce sent a large number of Aurors to search for Voldemort's whereabouts, causing the Dark Lord to be exhausted and unable to cause trouble again.
Those wizards who had experienced the last war all scorned this statement. They all knew how powerful Voldemort was. Ordinary Aurors could not be Voldemort's opponents even in groups. In contrast, they were more willing to believe that the black The devil is lurking in the dark, plotting to subvert the magical world...
However, the tense atmosphere before has eased a lot. After enjoying a peaceful life for a period of time, the young wizards at Hogwarts temporarily put aside the danger brought by Voldemort and focused most of their attention. On to the upcoming exam.
Every weekend, fifth-grade students and seventh-grade graduates who are facing the O.W.Ls exam will always crowd the school library. In such an urgent learning atmosphere, even Harry and Ron don't like studying very much. The people also gave up their thoughts of playing around and sat in the lounge with books in their hands to review over and over again.
Only Ivan was out of tune with the atmosphere here. At this time, he was holding a crown inlaid with gems and looking at it carefully. He tapped it with his wand from time to time, as if he was exploring something.
"Ivan, don't you plan to review? The O.W.Ls exam will be held in more than a month, and you told me before that you plan to take this year's final test, strive to pass all subjects, and apply for graduation in advance, right? ?" Hermione put down the book and couldn't help but remind her.
"I've reviewed it before. Besides, it's just some ordinary exams. Even if I confess..." Ivan almost let it slip and quickly put down his crown and made amends. "Ahem, I mean I can get through it even with my eyes closed..."
Harry and Ron, who were carrying books, rolled their eyes and wanted to complain. Could you please stop making these exams so easy, which would make them lose the motivation to review...
The O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Test) is a very important and very difficult subject test, not to mention the N.E.W.T. (Ultimate Wizarding Test). The level of their scores directly determines whether they can find a good job in the future.
