Reborn at Hogwarts

"The items made by every alchemist often have distinctive personal characteristics. This ring was made by Paracelsus himself. After your alchemy has reached a certain level, you can try Study it, and perhaps you will learn more about Paracelsus.

"You should know that it is much more difficult to directly analyze the real thing than to conduct research based on the information in books. If, I mean, if, one day, you plan to refine a sage's stone of your own, then you may be able to obtain it from Get some inspiration from that ring."

This is what Grindelwald told Ivan at the time.

Ivan could tell that the old guy had stayed in Nurmengard for too long. Although his disposition had changed and he was no longer as ambitious as before he was imprisoned, deep down he was still unwilling to be lonely.

He was very happy to see Ivan fight Paracelsus.

And the sooner the better.

However, Ivan has no such idea for the time being. He is very clear that he is still far behind that old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. It's not something that can be drawn in casually.

Snatching this ring deposited by Lucius Malfoy from the Borgin-Bock store, although there is an idea to study Paracelsus, but the main purpose is to try, can you pass the reverse The method of derivation improves one's alchemy level.

With the advanced thinking of a traveler, he has already conceived some alchemy equipment that can significantly improve his combat effectiveness and survival rate. As long as the level reaches the corresponding standard, he is ready to refine it.

Thinking of this, Ivan, who was lying on the warm and comfortable big bed in the dormitory, raised his hand and touched the leather pocket at the head of the bed.

Those wands bought from Fudge's wand shop were quietly piled up in it at the moment.

When he bought these wands before, of course he didn't find out his conscience, but because he needed something else.

It's just that now is not the time to think about it.

The roommates were all asleep. Ivan moved the leather bag to his side and closed his eyes.

The most urgent thing is to confirm the situation of Voldemort first.

...

In the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second grade, Ivan came to the classroom early in order to find out Voldemort's current state as soon as possible.

This classroom is located on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle. Perhaps because Quirrell has not been here yet, the classroom remains unrenovated. It looks like a very ordinary room on the outside. With a chandelier.

There is still a long time before class starts, and there is nothing in the classroom except neatly arranged tables and chairs, let alone students.

After using the avatar technique to sneak into the classroom, Ivan locked the door from inside the classroom, then quickly walked up to the podium, pulled out his magic wand, and tapped lightly on an inconspicuous corner under the podium.

A strange and distorted eye pattern flashed in the air.

And at the corner of the desk that was covered by the shadow, there was a bump the size of a soybean.

This is the magic that Ivan uses to spy on Quirrell.

When he first came to the Leaky Cauldron, Quirrell, who was drinking in the corner, was still wrapped in the big purple scarf.

This meant that Voldemort was hiding in the back of his head at that time.

Although Quirrell had taken off the scarf when they met for the second time, Ivan didn't think Voldemort had left.

Voldemort, who is in the state of a wandering soul lingering on his last breath, may not have the ability and capital to leave.

Ivan is more willing to believe that Voldemort just changed a part to lurk.

The magic eye he set just now has only one purpose, which is to monitor Quirrell's condition when he is in class.

If a certain part of the body has changed, it is very likely that Voldemort is hiding there.

If it weren't for the fact that too many "eyes" would affect judgment, Ivan would have liked to have them arranged in every corner of the classroom.

After checking it carefully to make sure everything was safe, Ivan unlocked the lock and hurriedly left in his avatar.

...

It's time for class.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students scrambled to squeeze into the classroom, looking for their place amidst the noise.

"Ivan! Here!"

When Ivan walked into the classroom, he wanted to quietly find an inconspicuous corner to sit down, but he didn't expect Eddie to yell at the top of his voice, attracting many people's attention.

He was completely unaware, and desperately waved at Ivan.

Glancing at the seat specially vacated for him beside Eddie, the corners of Ivan's mouth twitched slightly.

Sighing deeply in his heart, Ivan reluctantly sat beside Eddie.

"Hey, how's it going? Isn't it a great location?"

Eddie asked triumphantly.

"Yeah...it's great..." Ivan replied weakly.

The row in the middle of the classroom, the most central position... I really don't know how this guy got this "treasure of geomantic omen".

The students were very curious about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and they were enthusiastically scrambling for a seat close to the podium, but they didn't expect to leave the precious place in the middle of the classroom to Eddie.

Really bad luck...

Ivan sighed again.

At this time, he saw Zoe and her roommate Fiona walking into the classroom talking and laughing, and the two walked past his seat and sat in the corner.

Ivan had the urge to find Fiona for a change.

But before he could put his thoughts into action, the figure of Professor Quirrell appeared at the door of the classroom.

He was wearing an ordinary wizard robe, holding a second-grade textbook in his hand, and walked in with his head down.

He didn't go to the back of the podium, but stopped beside the podium, put the textbook on it, and then raised his head slightly, looking at the students of the two colleges in the classroom.

Under the silent gaze of the professor, the laughter and talking of the students soon stopped.

They all looked at Quirrell curiously and expectantly.

After experiencing Professor Searles who was strong outside and inside out last semester, they all hoped that the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would have a completely different performance.

However, within five minutes of the class, they were disappointed.

Quirrell's teaching is worse than that of Searles. He always stutters when he speaks, his tone is fast and slow, and his eyes are erratic. He sometimes looks at the students and sometimes looks out of the window.

At the end of a class, he just dryly read the contents of the textbook, did not do anything else, and left in a hurry with the book in his arms.

Looking at his hurried appearance, it seems that someone is chasing him behind.

"I'm an idiot for hoping for him."

While packing up his books, Eddie lowered his voice and complained to Ivan beside him.

"Obviously just read it according to the book, but let us finish the thesis."

Ivan responded perfunctorily.

He was also packing his books, but his attention was not on it at all.

Thinking back to the class just now, Ivan found that Quirrell never went behind the podium or walked into the surveillance range of magic from the beginning to the end.

Not once!

He walked back and forth near the podium, but every time he was about to step into the surveillance circle, he would stop very naturally and walk to the side.

At the end of a class, the surveillance magic was not triggered once.

The suspicion in Ivan's heart became a little heavier.

Quirrell, did you find my arrangement?

Voldemort, is he on him? If so, where is it hidden?
