Chapter 256 Seeds of Distrust

"Yeah, the books he reads are really deep and complicated, as always." Harry said indifferently, "Evan and Hermione are the best little wizards I've ever seen."

"Harry, this is not something to learn, don't you understand?!" Ron raised his head and looked around, and said eagerly in a low voice, "Evan is different from Hermione, although I don't understand Hermione. Why can I take so many classes at the same time, but at least we know what she is doing, but Aiwen reads those magic books..."

"What are you trying to say?" Harry looked away from the parchment.

"I mean, all the magic books that Ivan read were in the forbidden area, and he must be studying something behind our backs. I peeked at his research notes a few days ago, and there were some terrible drawings on it. It doesn't look like any decent magic." Ron stammered, "Harry, maybe he's researching..."

Harry looked up at Ron in astonishment, finally knowing what he was trying to say.

Neither of the two said a word, and a terrifying emotion spread in the uneasiness.

From Ron's expression, he was obviously suspecting that Ivan was studying black magic.

Harry instinctively wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say. Ai Wen has always given the impression of being omniscient. He knows a lot of magic knowledge. After Ron was controlled by the Imperius Curse in the past, Ai Wen was the first to discover the clues. If Ai Wen hadn't studied it, how could he possibly know that those magics were black magic? !

But to say that Ivan is studying black magic, Harry doesn't believe anything. In his impression, black magic is extremely evil and should be absolutely banned, and all those who study black magic are wizards like Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew.

They are ruthless and ruthless, and Ai Wen can't be that kind of person.

But Harry had no way to refute what Ron said. The fact that Ivan was studying black magic was pressing on his heart like a big rock, making Harry breathless. He felt unprecedented panic.

"Maybe, he just wanted to know..." Harry said softly after a long time.

His voice was low, and he didn't want anyone to know what he was talking to Ron.

"Harry, this is not something that can be used as a joke. I have been controlled by the mysterious man. I know the feeling that black magic should be absolutely forbidden." Ron also lowered his voice and said anxiously, "We must take action."

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't know, but at least we have to figure out what Ai Wen is doing." Ron continued, "If he is really studying black magic, we can tell others, let everyone know about this, and recognize his true face. . For example, Dumbledore or Sirius, they will never allow Ivan to do this, he will help us."

There was another brief silence, and Ron saw Harry visibly hesitate. Strange emotions spread in Ron's body again. After guessing that Ivan was studying black magic, he was briefly surprised, followed by a strong sense of unfairness.

He remembered the eyes other people looked at him, and the rumors in the school.

Ron felt very unfair. He was only innocently controlled by the Imperius twice, and he was also a victim. But other people looked at him with an unspoken sense of distrust, as if those bad things were really what he wanted to do.

Ai Wen is studying black magic, which is more evil than the things he does. But no one said anything about him. The truth was completely the opposite. Many people admired him and thought he was a hero. Ivan's reputation in the school was even louder than Harry's.

In Ron's view, everyone was deceived by Ai Wen.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the same thing, that everyone was blinded by Ivan's appearance, Harry, Hermione, his family and others.

Everyone trusts Ai Wen, but he betrays everyone's trust. He's studying black magic behind everyone's back, and he's doing very evil things on the sly.

A strong sense of mission rose deep in Ron's heart, and he felt obliged to expose Ivan's true face and stop the ongoing conspiracy. And the strange feeling that had come up on the Quidditch pitch a few months earlier was also the main reason for Ron to do it.

"Harry, we..."

"I know what you mean, Ron, but I believe Ai Wen, there is no evidence that he is studying the black magic, he can borrow those magic books from the forbidden area, he must have obtained the consent of the professor and the principal." Harry After thinking for a while, he continued to persuade, "Even is different from those dark wizards. Even if he is studying black magic, he just wants to study it. I believe him!"

"But......"

"If you are really worried, we can talk to Ai Wen, no matter what he is doing, he will definitely tell us."

"It's an interesting topic to ask if he's doing nefarious black magic research and who he's going to choose as a victim," Ron whispered.

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and the two didn't talk about this topic anymore, but the seeds of distrust were slowly growing and sprouting.

Harry and Ron did not go to the library to disturb Ron, nor did they dare to disturb Hermione, who looked a little grumpy, and the two of them eventually went to Sirius to help them complete the thesis on all kinds of undetectable poisons.

Although potions are not Sirius' strength, the difficulty of the homework in third grade is too easy for him, and he has given Harry and Ron a lot of useful advice.

In all fairness, with the help of Sirius, Harry's paper should have at least a good grade, but Snape gave him a very bad evaluation. But Harry didn't care, he had expected such an outcome.

As long as the little wizard's homework and potions brewed with Sirius had a good relationship with him, they wouldn't get any good reviews from Snape.

Ai Wen is probably the only exception, because Snape's assignments and the potions that the second-year little wizards are required to brew, he has studied all of them before, and has come up with the best formula and brewing method, even if Snape Can't find it if you want to find it.

Snape tried several times, and even required Ivan to complete the high wizard level exam before involving difficult potions.

But Ai Wen can complete it smoothly every time, and the process is more perfect than the textbook.

While his face became more gloomy and terrifying, Snape's attitude towards Ivan returned to what it was before, that is, he didn't care.

If his name must be called, use "Mr. Jack of all trades" instead.

Ivan is now in the potions class, and is the only Gryffindor student who can make Snape not criticize him or deduct points, which makes others very envious. (To be continued.)
