Chapter 963 Let the Dead Speak!

Ivan's sincere words moved Hermione very much. The little witch immediately hugged Ivan and hugged Ivan tightly for a while before speaking softly. "But...I'm worried about you!"

"What are you worried about me for?" Ivan laughed and said pretending to be confident. "Don't forget, I am now the most powerful wizard in the entire magical world. Didn't you read the newspaper? Grindelwald has to avoid me!"

Hermione thought about the report in the Daily Prophet, and immediately felt relieved and stopped mentioning graduation.

Ivan was relieved when he saw this and quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Hermione, have you read all the memories I gave you before?"

The little witch nodded. She had not wasted any time in the past six months. She had read every memory Ivan gave her dozens of times. Her alchemy skills were also progressing very quickly. Now she can make some simple things by herself. of magic items.

However, she had no clue about the alchemy technique that Ivan had told her about injecting pure emotions into magic items to enhance their power. She tried many times but failed.

"Don't be so anxious. It took me a long time to master this. You still have a lot of time, so you can take your time." Ivan said comfortingly, and then explained to Hermione how to use emotional magic.

The two of them walked to the auditorium together while chatting. When they sat down to eat, a gray-white owl suddenly flew in from outside the foyer and brought a package to him.

Ivan opened it and took a look, and found that it contained information about Grindelwald and the saints' movements, which should have been sent to him by Pierce.

Hermione on the side also curiously took a piece of information and read it, but the more she read, the more frightened she became.

From the time Grindelwald escaped to the present, there have been nearly a hundred incidents of wizards attacking Muggles in Europe. Some were carried out by saints, but some were carried out by wizards with extreme ideas who agreed with Grindelwald's ideas.

This is obviously not a good sign, and it adds a lot of uncertainty to the Aurors' investigation.

After looking through some information, a look of worry appeared on Hermione's face. Her parents were both Muggles, and she was a wizard. If the magical world and the Muggle world really started to fight, she really didn't know. What should I do?

Fortunately, Hermione quickly thought that now that the entire magical world has united and is not as passive as before, it may not take long to capture Grindelwald.

Ivan, who knew more information, did not have as much confidence as the little witch.

Although he had shown great power at the North American Magic Headquarters and severely injured Grindelwald, Ivan knew in his heart that he could achieve such results because the other party consumed more than a hundred Aurors when fighting against them. A lot of magic power was tainted by his secret hand using the key.

If he were to have another fight with Grindelwald who was completely victorious, the outcome would be unpredictable.

More importantly, Grindelwald possesses a Horcrux, which is what troubles Ivan the most. If this thing is not found and destroyed, the opponent will be equivalent to gaining a level of immortality BUFF.

Just trying to do this is not easy.

The characteristics of the Horcrux itself make it very easy to hide. It can be anything, such as a book, a key, or even a button on clothes. Without information, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Not everyone is as nostalgic as Tom Riddle and likes to make some commemorative items into Horcruxes and place them in special places.

Even so, in the original book, Harry still relied on his sense of the Horcruxes to find them and destroy them one by one.

Ivan touched his chin and fell into deep thought. The only thing he could guess was that Grindelwald would not be as crazy as Voldemort, so there should not be many Horcruxes, probably only one!

After understanding Ivan's troubles, Hermione suddenly spoke up. "Do you remember Peter Pettigrew?"

"Of course I remember, what happened?" Ivan asked in confusion.

"If Grindelwald used the same resurrection method as Voldemort, then he must need a helper!" Hermione spread out the parchment in her hand and analyzed it for Ivan. "So you just need to figure out who Grindelwald trusts, and then find a way to catch them and search their memories, you should be able to get some clues."

"Yes!" Ivan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he happily hugged the little witch and kissed her on the cheek.

Hermione's face turned slightly red and she quickly added. "Actually, my method is different. It would be useless if Grindelwald directly killed the person who helped him resurrect in order to keep the secret."

"Anyway, let's try it first. If Grindelwald is really so cruel, there is nothing we can do. We can't let the dead speak..." Ivan shrugged and said helplessly.

But after finishing speaking, the whole person was stunned for a moment.

Wait...let the dead speak...

Ivan's right hand caressed the resurrection stone hanging on his chest, and his face couldn't help but change.

He had not forgotten what Grindelwald said in the Capitol. The Resurrection Stone might not really have the ability to summon the souls of the dead, but he didn't know how to use it correctly.

In Ivan's impression, there is a dead wizard who must know the clues to the Horcruxes - that is Farrell, the former vice president of the Magical Congress of North America!

As Grindelwald's enemy and one of the materials for the resurrection ritual, Farrell will definitely watch the entire ceremony with a sober attitude.

After all, based on Harry's personal experience and the spell - [The blood of your enemy is forced to donate, it can resurrect your enemy], it probably has to be sacrificed alive in the ceremony to be effective...

Thinking of this, Ivan immediately speeded up his lunch and decided to go back and dig out all the legends and resources about the Three Sacred Artifacts and read them again!

…

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Christmas holiday was slowly approaching before I knew it. Ivan had made little progress in his research on the Resurrection Stone. It was not easy to sift out a few words from many legends and classics.

However, Ivan was not prepared to give up so easily. Apart from daily teaching, he spent most of his time in the library. He even took out the "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" and read it carefully several times. , and incidentally wrote a reply asking Pierce to help him investigate which saints Grindelwald valued the most.

On the last day before leaving school, Ivan slowly closed the "Collection of British Legends" in his hand, took the information and notes collected in the past few days, and planned to return to the staff lounge as usual. However, when passing by the corner of the corridor, But unexpectedly, he bumped into Luna, whom he hadn't seen for a long time...
