Chapter 852 Knowledge Is the Foundation of a Wizard’s Power
At three o'clock in the morning, after making an appointment for the next meeting, Ivan bid farewell to the ghost lady and returned to the boys' dormitory alone with the Ravenclaw crown.
Along the way, Ivan's mind was thinking about that possibility, even tentatively calling the system, trying to find an answer.
However, the system did not pay any attention to him, let alone answer his questions.
In the end, Ivan had no choice but to give up, temporarily leaving those unreasonable conjectures behind and wait to verify them later.
After all, he currently has many more pressing troubles to deal with, and he really can't spare much energy to seek that answer.
The most important thing among them is naturally to find a way to kill Voldemort.
Otherwise, such a powerful dark wizard hides in the dark all day long, waiting for opportunities, secretly planning something, which would make people even sleep uneasy.
The safety of Asia and others is also a problem. Although they all have magic marks on their bodies, if they encounter danger, they only need to give a signal to arrive as soon as possible, but their strength is not at the same level as Voldemort.
If the Dark Lord shamelessly carries out a sneak attack, I'm afraid Asia and the others won't have time to send signals continuously...
It's just a pity that Ivan really has no way to use the Loyalty Curse, so he can only hope that Snape can get some good news from him.
In addition, with his current strength, it is not easy to keep Voldemort in the battle who wants to escape.
The previous battle with Dumbledore made Ivan clearly realize his shortcomings.
However, he is already very strong now, and if he wants to improve, there are only two ways to go.
Either continue to fuse more bloodlines in the hope of obtaining more powerful bloodline magic, or work hard to consolidate the foundation, develop the existing bloodline power, and increase one's knowledge reserves.
The former has the fastest effect, but it is difficult to obtain legendary points. The latter only requires time and effort, but it takes many years to be effective.
Of course, for Ivan, he does not need to choose between the two, because he has always followed two paths in parallel.
This is also the reason why Ivan is in a hurry to graduate from Hogwarts. The senior courses have made little improvement for him, and continuing to stay in the classroom will only be a waste of time.
As for wanting to become a professor, it is to continue to stay in this castle.
Hogwarts has the largest library in Europe, and the forbidden area contains a variety of ancient and dangerous magical books. Some of the forbidden books have existed in the library thousands of years ago.
Ivan is extremely convinced that if he can read and understand the collection of books accumulated in the forbidden book area in the past year, his understanding of magic will definitely exceed that of any wizard in the world!
The importance of foundation is self-evident. In this regard, Dumbledore is the best example. In the last battle, the old professor did not use the weird and changeable blood magic, but the sense of oppression in every gesture, Ivan will never forget it.
Perhaps as the other party said, knowledge is the foundation of a wizard's power!
Even his method of merging blood to improve himself was, to put it bluntly, inherited knowledge obtained from Slytherin.
But as his current student, he had to be sneaky to read a few books in the restricted book area to avoid being discovered by Mrs. Pince.
After becoming a professor, you can have the right to enter the restricted book area and check books at any time.
As long as the course schedule is relaxed, there is still a lot of free time.
By the way, Ivan also wanted to see if he could complete the task of forming a house-elf army.
…
The next day, early in the morning, Ivan yawned and got up from the bed. He had a tryst with the female ghost until midnight last night and stayed up until the early morning, which really hurt his health.
Harry, Seamus and others on the side are already used to it. After living together for almost five years, they all know that Ivan has the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and going out at night. Usually when you wake up early in the morning and you don’t feel energetic, you must have snuck out to play in the evening.
"We'd better hurry up. This morning's Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be taught by Snape's classroom." Seamus hurriedly put on his school uniform and shouted to several people.
Harry and others didn't dare to neglect, no one wanted to be late for Snape's class.
Ivan slowly stood up from the bed, gently waved his wand and the robe hanging on the hanger floated over. The quilt and pillows behind him were automatically folded and placed neatly on the bedside.
The convenience and speed of magic are undoubtedly obvious. If he hadn't formed a habit, Ivan could even use a cleaning spell to directly replace washing.
Harry, Seamus, and Neville watched with envy as Ivan solved these trivial matters with just a flick of his wand. With their level of magic, they could not do such delicate work.
"Why are you staring at me? If you don't leave, you'll be late." Ivan reminded him, and after thinking about it, he took the Ravenclaw golden diadem in the drawer.
Several people hurried out and after breakfast, they ran towards the Potions classroom together and sat down in their respective seats before the bell rang.
Ever since Umbridge, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was forcibly taken away by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic for colluding with a mysterious person, the professor's position has been vacant.
The Ministry of Magic will not be able to find a replacement for the time being, so it will have to temporarily let professors from various subjects take charge of the classes.
Unfortunately, Snape was responsible for teaching this subject to the fifth grade students. When Harry and others learned the news, they complained for several days.
But for Ivan, it doesn't matter who comes to class, but Snape is better, because he is very aware of current affairs. Even if he deserts in his class, Snape will just pretend not to see it.
In view of this, after Ivan entered the classroom, he found a corner and sat down, then put on the Ravenclaw crown, opened a magic book taken out from the restricted book area, and read to himself.
The fact is just as Ivan thought. During the Defense Against the Dark Arts class all morning, Snape didn't even look here, as if there was no such person in the classroom at all.
But Ivan's blatant desertion attracted the attention of several Slytherin students. They frequently turned their heads to look at the corner, and even quietly reported to Snape.
"Hals defeated a Norwegian Ridgeback by himself last year. Are you ready to give it a try?" Snape looked at the Slytherin students with cold eyes. It seemed that as long as the other party nodded, he would really do it. Get a giant dragon to come over and teach them a lesson.
The few people who heard this shrank their necks and quickly shut their mouths.
Snape probably also knew that his behavior of letting Ivan desert was a bit strange, so after a pause, he explained. "Halse was preparing to apply for graduation this year, so I allowed him to read some test prep books in my class."
