Reborn at Hogwarts

Just after leaving the Ravenclaw tower, Ivan saw Zoe walking towards him.

The little girl looked listless, with her head drooped, her eyes staring blankly at the road under her feet, and she didn't even notice that she was about to bump into Ivan's nose.

In the end, it was Ivan who pressed her shoulders in time to wake her up from the state of wandering.

"Ah——Ivan!" Zoe, who came back to his senses, saw Ivan's face, and immediately looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "I asked Professor Dumbledore! Let's find another place to talk!"

Ivan nodded.

Those weird arms sticking out of the wall still linger in his mind, making him always feel guilty, afraid that they will come out of nowhere again.

It's better to stay away from here for the time being.

When checking Zoe's location just now, Ivan deliberately wrote down a few unoccupied locations in the castle, which can be used at this time.

...

When Ivan took Zoe to find a suitable place to communicate.

A figure wrapped in a black robe, even covering his face, with only a pair of eyes exposed, appeared at the door of the principal's office.

"Pile of cockroaches." He said lightly.

"Please come in." The stone beast lying on the door of the office snorted, and the black-robed wizard nodded slightly, crawled over it, and boarded the spiral stone ladder that slowly rose like an escalator.

At the top of the stone ladder, the black-robed wizard stopped in place for a moment, then raised his hand and opened the door.

"I didn't expect that we would meet so frequently. I thought what you said last time would be true."

When he said this, Dumbledore was standing with his back to the door, standing by a shelf placed behind the desk, carefully looking at the tattered and crumpled Sorting Hat placed on it. Cleaning up the dust, the latter shook impatiently from time to time, trying to avoid the old wizard's all-pervasive cleaning in this way, but Dumbledore was not only not angry, but was always smiling, looking like he was enjoying it.

The black-robed wizard silently stopped in front of the principal's office, staring at the surprisingly harmonious scene in front of him, without saying a word for a long time.

Dumbledore, who hadn't received a reply for a long time, was a little surprised. The old wizard turned around, looked at the black-robed wizard who covered his face, and then patted his forehead, suddenly realizing: "Ah—I see. It seems that you are still a little confused ,Yeah?"

"Professor Dumbledore." The black-robed wizard did not answer, but bowed to the old wizard.

"I don't remember the etiquette of bowing at Hogwarts." Dumbledore waved his hand, signaling the black-robed wizard to find a place to sit down. "Please give me two cups of black tea, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, an exquisitely shaped silver teapot and two small teacups appeared on his desk. Both the cups and the teapot were filled with steaming hot black tea.

"Sit down." Dumbledore said to the black robe wizard.

The black-robed wizard sat down. But he didn't mean to reach out for the black tea, but hesitated a little, and said in a low voice: "Professor Dumbledore... I'm here this time because I have a question I want to get your answer."

"what is the problem?"

The black-robed wizard took a deep breath. This time he seemed to have made up his mind, so he no longer hesitated, but asked straightforwardly:

"I want to know, how... did you find Paracelsus?"

He saw that Dumbledore's face became gloomy for the first time.

...

"...So, what Dumbledore meant was that he was aware of what happened in the castle?" Ivan repeated Zoe's words.

Zoe nodded, "Yes, he said that he is very clear about Professor Searles' problem, but for some special reason, Professor Searles has no way to hurt the students of Hogwarts, so we don't have to Worried. And..."

The little girl paused.

"...Moreover, Professor Dumbledore said that Professor Searles will not continue to teach us next year, and he is going to hand over this position to Professor Quirrell."

That's great, that's great... It's obvious that the plot has started to be corrected to the original line, but why can't I feel happy at all...

Ivan has a headache.

At this time, the two had come to an abandoned secret road leading to Hogsmeade. No one had ever visited this place, and it was a good place to hide.

In the ten minutes just now, Zoe had already recounted to Ivan the content of the conversation between herself and Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't show any unexpected emotions when Zoe relayed the question that the castle intruder hadn't left.

He even told Zooey very bluntly that he was fully aware of this and that it was related to that mysterious Professor Searles.

At the same time, he also assured Zoe that Professor Searles would not harm the students.

This is simply nonsense. thought Ivan. If Sells won't hurt the students, then what's the point of Zoe being hit by the Stunning Curse and being chased around the school like a dog?

And when he was cornered, the wand of "Filch" was almost stuffed into his mouth.

But if you look at it from another angle...the other party did not cause any substantial harm to anyone.

Zoe witnessed the whole process of the intruder breaking into the Ravenclaw public room, but the other party just cast a stun spell on her, and even her memory was not cleared, and even the wound on Zoe's body was caused by her falling to the ground I knocked it by myself.

As for Ivan himself, "Filch" didn't really attack him at that time. When he pushed "Sels" away and was about to escape, "Filch" just stood aside and watched silently.

...It really didn't cause substantial harm to the students!

Ivan didn't bother to count the situation where Eddie was controlled, but he didn't remember it at all.

He couldn't help frowning.

Is it really what Dumbledore said? Sayers, that is, Paracelsus, has no way to directly cause any substantial harm to the students of Hogwarts?

If the situation is true... then I have nothing to worry about.

You can't really hit me, why am I afraid of you?

"...Professor Dumbledore also said that he would like to meet you in a room on the eighth floor of the castle tonight." Zoe added, looking at Ivan whose expression changed.

"Did he just say 'the room on the eighth floor of the castle'?" Ivan asked.

"Professor Dumbledore said, you know where to go." Zoe hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter? Did he say anything else?" Ivan caught the fleeting subtle emotion on Zooey's face and asked hastily.

For some reason... Ivan noticed that Zooey's face suddenly turned a little cold.

The little girl stared at herself, her eyes became vicious.

"He said he said he said he said... that's all he said! No more!" After saying this angrily, Zooey turned around and left, leaving only Ivan a back view.

...Why are you suddenly angry?

Ivan scratched his head inexplicably, and then became entangled again.

Zoe looked very annoyed... Wouldn't she accidentally miss some of Dumbledore's words because of her anger? Do you want to stop her and ask her?

At this moment, the little girl who had left angrily turned around suddenly, pointed at Ivan's nose, and said angrily, "I haven't forgotten! That's what he said!"

Then, she turned around again and rushed down the stairs sullenly.

After the little girl disappeared from sight, Ivan shrugged his shoulders, restarted the Occlumency that had been turned off just now, and quickly walked downstairs along the route Zoe walked.
