Reborn at Hogwarts

"……finished!"

In the early morning of August, the sun was still tinged with chill. Ivan, who was sitting at the table, raised his head, rubbed his tired eyes, and let out a long breath.

On the table in front of him was a piece of parchment and an open notebook.

Naturally, the parchment was the one obtained from "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" almost a year ago, while the notebook contained the translations he had completed intermittently over the past year, which recorded a detailed introduction to the "Avatar Technique".

In this era when there was no translation software, Ivan had to spend a whole year learning German, and he only completed the translation according to the dictionary until today.

Even so, because he was worried that there would be mistakes and omissions, he checked it carefully no less than ten times before finally confirming it.

Sighing a little in his heart for his hard work and hard work in the past year, Ivan couldn't wait to pick up the notebook, carefully read the contents on it several times, then put down the notebook and held his breath.

In the next second, Ivan suddenly disappeared.

At this time, the boy's figure was no longer on the seat, replaced by a puddle of clear water, dripping down the edge of the chair to the ground.

The strange thing is that the water droplets didn't seep into the floor after falling to the ground, but slowly wriggled as if they were alive.

After a while, the water droplets gathered together began to expand and become larger, and in an instant it turned into a water man about 1.6 meters high.

The water man shook his head, as if he was not used to his current appearance. He looked around and noticed the fish tank not far away, and immediately put on a standing long jump posture with great interest, as if he wanted to jump directly into the fish tank.

But then, he seemed to notice that his size far exceeded the capacity of the fish tank, so he resolutely gave up this tempting idea, and turned his attention to the dozing owl in the cage.

The water man moved his body slowly, came to the cage, and stretched out his transparent fingers to poke the owl's forehead.

However, the next moment, the water man froze in place, and in just a few seconds, he changed back to Ivan's appearance.

"...Still not proficient enough." Ivan scratched his head somewhat annoyedly. According to the content recorded on the parchment, under normal circumstances, if this "incarnation state" is full of physical strength, it can permanently keep it up.

In fact, this magic created by Paracelsus and Grindelwald is not a simple spell.

Instead, through the ingenious operation method of magic power, he can "homogenize" himself with other substances in nature, so that he can have the characteristics and appearance of the corresponding substances.

Taking the water man that Ivan transformed into just now as an example, while maintaining the continuous operation of magic power, Ivan's body has all the characteristics of water. Not only can he dissolve in water, but he can even use the power of water to fight against enemies.

Of course, correspondingly, he will be more afraid of sponges and other things that can absorb water...

But anyway, it can be regarded as a life-saving hole card.

Ivan didn't intend to try again, but clipped the parchment in the notebook, tapped it lightly with the magic wand, "Quickly shrink."

Soon, the notebook was the size of a fingernail.

Ivan picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket, planning to find a chance to "burn the body and wipe out all traces" of it after going downstairs.

"Ivan, are you packed? We should go to Diagon Alley!" Mr. Vesemir shouted from downstairs.

"Come right now!" Ivan responded loudly.

He put his wand down on the table, and reached for an open letter.

The brown parchment envelope, which read "a letter to Ivan," was the same as the one he had received on his birthday a year earlier.

It's just that the content is quite the opposite.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore

(President of the International Federation of Wizards, first-class great magician of Sir Merlin, chief magician of Wizengamot)

Dear Mr. Vesemir:

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.

Semester is scheduled to start on September 1. We will wait for your owl to bring your reply before July 31st.

Vice-Chancellor

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall"

The second page of letter paper indicates the items that the first-year little wizard needs to bring when he enters school. Ivan has read all the books mentioned here several times in the past year. It cannot be said that he is familiar with it, but at least There is no problem with coping with the exam.

So for this trip to Diagon Alley, the only things you need to buy are wands, cauldrons, uniforms and the like.

Ivan stuffed the letter paper marked with school requirements into his pocket, then hurriedly left the room and came to the living room at home.

Mister Vesemir was already waiting here.

Seeing Ivan going downstairs, Mr. Vesemir immediately waved to him, beckoning him to stand by the fireplace, and then handed him the box placed above the fireplace.

"Let's Floo, boy," he said.

Ivan nodded, picked up a pinch of shiny powder from the box, walked to the fireplace, and threw the powder into the flames.

With a whoosh, the fire turned green and rose higher than Ivan. He walked straight into the fire and yelled, "Diagon Alley!"

In the next second, Ivan felt as if he was being sucked into a huge socket hole. His body seemed to be spinning rapidly. The room beyond the fireplace...

With a loud bang, Ivan landed firmly on the cold stone ground.

He patted the dust on himself leisurely, turned his head and glanced at the stone fireplace behind him - an old man with tortoiseshell glasses and gray hair was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a plate full of food.

But now the saucer and his body were covered with ashes from the fireplace, making him look like a rough sculpture.

"You..." The two looked at each other in embarrassment for a moment, and the old man seemed to have reacted, and opened his mouth tremblingly.

Before he could speak halfway, there was another green light flashing in the fireplace. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ivan immediately took a step forward to drag the old man away, but he was still a step too late. Mr. Vesemir jumped out of the flames, steadily It fell firmly on the ground.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Ivan and the old man staring at him, their bodies were covered with dust.

"Oh...Uncle Fudge, I didn't know you hadn't had breakfast yet."

It was the first time Ivan saw Mr. Vesemir showing such an embarrassing expression.
