Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 4 Don't talk, drink it

In a trance, Ivan seemed to see the gorgeous fireworks.

Red, white, green... All kinds of lights are intertwined in the "crackling" explosion, dyeing the clear night sky with color.

The two blurred figures walked briskly and danced gracefully in the wonderful scene woven together by fireworks and night. They confided moving whispers to each other while looking at each other affectionately and at the moment when the figures intersected.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Disarm you!"

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

...

Wait, where is this?

Ivan was shocked, and the subtle sense of happiness that had been lingering in his heart disappeared in an instant. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards the place illuminated by the light.

It wasn't the Vesemirs' house that came into view, but a hawthorn tree burning in the flames. Not far from it, Ivan saw the black-robed wizard and Alger Rozier waving their wands and casting vicious spells on each other.

So it turned out that I wasn't dancing just now...

Ivan suppressed the strange thoughts that flashed through his mind, and looked away from the two people in the fierce battle, and observed the surrounding environment calmly.

This place seems to be somewhere far away from downtown London. There are no houses as far as the eye can see, only a few scattered trees, all of which have been ignited at this time, and the fire has even begun to spread to the grass, making Ivan feel like he is in The fear of fire.

The strange thing is that the thick smoke caused by the fire did not spread around, but was bound in place and rose towards the sky under the blowing of the night wind, which seemed to be the effect of some kind of magic spell.

Ivan noticed that it was completely dark, and it had been at least an hour since Alger came to the door, but why hasn't the Auror arrived yet? Or did these two guys move the battlefield to a place that the Aurors couldn't find for a while?

But why bring him? Ivan couldn't figure out what use his Squib, who knew nothing about magic, would be of use to these two dangerous elements who could even use the Unforgivable Curse, unless he wanted to use him to earn some ransom or something.

"...You'll regret it!" At this moment, the two in the distance seemed to have already decided the winner. Argel roared and cast a curse at the black-robed wizard, but he was easily blocked by the other party.

"Don't Voldemort's followers like to talk harshly when they can't beat others?" The black-robed wizard sneered, "It's a pity that your master can't help you out now."

Alger let out a beast-like roar under his rage, and just when Ivan thought he was going to fight to the death, he suddenly waved his wand and released a spell, blocking the black-robed wizard's attack, and then " With a loud bang, it turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

...was it Apparating? Ivan was stunned.

"...you run really fast." The black-robed wizard stared at the place where Alger disappeared, snorted coldly, and then swung his wand, and the raging fire was quickly extinguished.

Then he turned and looked at Ivan, who had started to lie where he was, playing dead again.

"Get up, I won't hurt you." The black-robed wizard walked slowly in front of Ivan and touched him with his toes, "If I thought about it, you would have died a long time ago."

Ivan didn't expect his disguise to be effective, but he just tried it with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. At this time, seeing that he had been seen through, he opened his eyes again and got up.

The black-robed wizard didn't waste any extra nonsense, and said bluntly: "When you get home, go to the basement to find a book called "Illustrations for Repairing Household Appliances"."

""Household Appliance Maintenance Diagram"?" Ivan was stunned, and asked subconsciously.

Although the black-robed wizard's entire face was covered tightly, Ivan felt like "this guy frowned".

"Yes, you heard it right, "Household Appliance Maintenance Diagrams" is the kind that is equipped in many Muggle families." The black-robed wizard's tone was a little impatient, "It's a big tome, printed with some The pictures of commonly used electrical appliances will be accompanied by texts on how to repair them... In short, you can just look for it, understand?"

Ivan nodded hesitantly.

The black-robed wizard seemed very satisfied with his obedient response, and even his tone became much lighter.

"After you find it, turn to page 16, use your wand to point at the number marked on the page, and say a spell—" the black-robed wizard slowed down his speech and said word by word, "'for the greater good'."

Page 16? Why page 16? And what does it mean to be for the greater good? This sentence is a bit familiar, have you heard it somewhere before... After you go back, you have to look through the book to confirm its meaning, and you can't just do what he said casually.

Ivan's thoughts turned, but he still nodded on the surface.

The black-robed wizard also nodded, put away his wand, turned around, and seemed to be about to leave.

Ivan hesitated.

"Uh, sorry, sir, I have a question." He stopped the black-robed wizard.

"what is the problem?"

"You may not be clear, I'm a squib." Ivan spread his hands, with a helpless expression, "You just mentioned that I need to cast magic and read spells... I may not be able to do your request."

The black-robed wizard was slightly taken aback.

"Ah, that's right! Squibs... so it's like this... so it's like this..." He slapped his forehead violently and muttered to himself, looking suddenly enlightened.

Then, he reached into his sleeve, groped for a moment under Ivan's watchful eyes, and took out a small dark bottle.

"Drink it." The black-robed wizard said indisputably.

"What's this?" Ivan asked. Looking at the black liquid shaking in the bottle, he couldn't help frowning.

"It's baby." The black-robed wizard replied.

For some reason, Ivan suddenly felt that the black-robed wizard's tone became strange, which gave him a faint sense of foreboding.

"It's like this, sir, I think, can you first—" Ivan carefully considered his words, but before he could speak halfway, the black-robed wizard directly uncorked the bottle and poured the black liquid in the bottle Forced it into his mouth.

"Uh-ah!"

Ivan grabbed his throat and let out a painful cry.

The moment the black liquid was poured into his mouth, severe pain mixed with a refreshing heat surged to his whole body.

Ivan opened his mouth wide subconsciously. The strong suffocation made him want to breathe more fresh air to offset the unbearable pain, but the black liquid took the opportunity to flow into his stomach along the esophagus.

In an instant, a series of strange and unspeakable pictures flashed past his eyes: there were pictures of him gazing at his parents, siblings in front of the hospital bed before he died in his previous life, pictures of him being born in Vesemir's house, pictures of him getting lost The picture when I knew I was a squib and couldn't master magic... More scenes in the back seemed to be covered with a thin layer of fog, and I could vaguely see a trace of outline, but I couldn't tell the specific appearance.

Ivan stared at the black-robed wizard standing in front of him with wide eyes, pointed at him with trembling fingers, rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, and passed out.

I know who you are now... that was his last thought before he passed out.
