Reborn at Hogwarts

Paracelsus.

Ever since the chase on Halloween night, for a long time, whenever he heard this name, Ivan's first reaction was to look around quickly.

It's as if this guy is going to pop out of the wall all of a sudden.

After living in Nurmengard for a month, because Grindelwald always mentioned him when he was learning incarnation, the symptoms of "Paracelsus PTSD" not only did not alleviate, but became more serious.

An old guy who has lived for hundreds of years has achieved the highest level of profound and complex alchemy. He has a sage's stone of his own. He is also the pioneer of incarnation. It may have some inexplicable connection with the legendary God of Death who made the Deathly Hallows.

If he was just a background figure who had nothing to do with him, Ivan would definitely regard him as his idol and goal on the road of magic.

But he and himself had some feuds due to various reasons...

This made Ivan, while dumbfounded, had to maintain a high degree of vigilance as much as possible at all times, guarding against Paracelsus suddenly popping out from a certain corner.

Now that he suddenly heard the news that "Paracelsus has passed away" from Snape, Ivan's first reaction was not to doubt the truth of the matter, but to quickly hold his wand and stare at Snape vigilantly. general.

This guy...couldn't be Paracelsus in disguise, right?

Say such unrealistic words first to confuse him, and wait until he relaxes his vigilance before launching a surprise attack...

All kinds of guesses were swirling in Ivan's mind.

Of course Snape couldn't read any information from Ivan's mind, which was running Occlumency all the time, but he only needed to glance at his reaction to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

"For the specific situation, you can ask Dumbledore yourself after you return to school." Snape didn't bother to pay attention to Ivan, but just said this lightly, then looked away and looked out the window.

Ivan stared at Snape for a while, then slowly let go of the wand in his hand.

This nonchalant response... was indeed Professor Snape, no doubt about it.

After calming down, Ivan also immediately realized that there was absolutely no need for Paracelsus to target him.

The Horcrux Diary has been destroyed by Dumbledore. Apart from that, Paracelsus should have no other grievances with him before.

Moreover, to be honest, Ivan actually doesn't think he is worthy of a wizard who can refine the Philosopher's Stone and who can come and go freely in Hogwarts. Life.

To put it bluntly, he is not worthy.

It’s just because of Ivan’s habit. Although he knew that Paracelsus only regarded the events that happened at Hogwarts as insignificant episodes at most, and would not take him seriously at all, he still instinctively wanted to keep cautious.

Because Snape didn't speak out after saying this, the box fell into silence for a while.

Fortunately, neither of the two people in the box cared about such things, or to say, for Ivan, who liked to think silently, and Snape, who didn't talk much, this state was their favorite.

Ivan also began to think seriously about the message in Snape's words.

First, the death of Paracelsus... Ivan took a dubious view of it.

Severus Snape was not a liar, and there was no need to lie to him about this, especially since he had mentioned Dumbledore.

Ivan believed that Dumbledore should have asked Snape to tell him this.

It may be just to tell him in advance, and he needs to go to Dumbledore to inquire about the specific situation.

Then, another noteworthy point in Snape's words.

Paracelsus died five days earlier.

five days ago...

It happened to be the day that Ivan snatched the Philosopher's Stone ring from Borgin-Bock and fought Lange and Bernard, two dark wizards.

What else happened that day?

Ivan frowned.

The Philosopher's Stone ring is suspected to be connected to the kingdom of the dead, allowing himself to stay there in the state of a soul for a while, and then loses his magic power...

Lost magic?

Ivan was startled.

To think about it another way, what if the Philosopher's Stone lost its magic not because it opened the way to the kingdom of the dead, but because... Paracelsus, died?

If you guess more boldly, the opening of the Kingdom of the Dead was not because of him, but because Paracelsus died at that time, in order to receive his soul?

Unable to think about it any longer, Ivan patted his forehead.

Forced reasoning in the case of insufficient information may not necessarily lead to the truth, but it is easy to get yourself into a misunderstanding.

Let's wait until we meet Dumbledore and get more detailed information.

For the next time, neither of them said a word. Snape stared out the window in a daze, as if waiting for something; Ivan found a second-grade spell book, and carefully read it page by page. Looking through.

After about an hour and a half, Ivan felt that his eyes were a little sore, so he raised his head and followed Snape's example to look out of the window.

At this time, it was close to the departure time of the Hogwarts Express, and the platform was almost full of students and parents who came to see them off.

The scene in front of those Aurors disguised as flight attendants was overwhelmed for a while, and it was almost a mess. Ivan saw the real steward who dropped his wand under the train at a glance. At this time, he swept away the previous decline, stood arrogantly in the middle of the crowd, and loudly ordered the Aurors to take their positions. Not idle, waving his arms very rhythmically, trying to make the team orderly.

Looking at this scene, Ivan smiled unconsciously. Snape glanced at him and said nothing.

"Hey, is that Zoe?"

Ivan suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Yes, it is indeed Zoe.

I haven't seen her for two months, and the little girl has changed her appearance again. She is a lot taller, and her whole body seems to have grown up, becoming more and more graceful.

At this time, Zooey was standing on the platform not far away, talking and laughing with a middle-aged man and woman.

It could be seen that they were her parents, dressed like a Muggle, with an unnatural expression among the mighty crowd, as if they were curious about wizards, but they didn't dare to observe carefully, so they could only look at Zoe When I signaled them to look at it, I couldn't wait to cast a novel look.

Ivan still remembered that Zoe had mentioned his parents. They were both stubborn Muggles who resisted magic and wizards. But now it seems that they have been persuaded by Zoe, and they have begun to learn to accept magic and wizards.

For a natural Legilimency, after learning how to control his abilities, how difficult is it to guess what his parents think and guide them to gradually become curious about magic?

Looking at Zoe, whose long blonde hair was stained with sweat on her cheeks, but whose smile was unusually bright and sunny, Ivan smiled.

It looks pretty good.
