The duel with Snape came to an end, and Ivan's strength was only known among several heads of house.
There was no need to doubt the integrity of the professors, and even Snape never leaked a word.
Hermione was the same.
The little witch was a sensible and good girl, and she kept Ivan's secrets to herself.
However, because of his identity as an Obscurial, Hermione always had a tendency to burst out with maternal instincts, subconsciously wanting to take care of Ivan, as if he might leave her at any time.
This made Ivan laugh and cry, but also feel a bit moved.
Fortunately, after Ivan's persuasion, Hermione gradually returned to her original state, and the two continued to take Neville to the library, the Great Hall, and the dormitory.
If there was anything wrong...
For a month, Quirrell always deliberately or unintentionally inquired about what had happened that night.
Voldemort had asked him to investigate the owner of the terrifying magic, and Quirrell had some guesses.
However, when he was about to ask Snape, he was ruthlessly rejected by the professor, who also gave him a stern warning.
"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!!"
Snape: "Or do you think you are very powerful and want to help 'protect' Hogwarts?"
Quirrell was scared to death by Snape.
As for the other professors, whether it was McGonagall or Flitwick, there was no way they would betray Ivan.
One by one, they had already communicated privately, and they had been playing Quirrell all along.
''So what did you investigate this month?''
"I.. I just. Give me a little more time master—!"
After returning, Quirrell was severely punished by Voldemort for his incompetence.
''Waste!''
''You waste!''
Poor Professor Quirrell. It was bad enough that he didn't find out anything, but he was the only one suffering in the whole situation.
Ivan still remembers that when Professor Quirrell came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that day, his face was frighteningly pale.
If you didn't know better, you might think he was a corpse, not a living person.
"This magic is so difficult, Hermione, please teach me again."
In Ivan's dormitory, Parvati sighed at her own perceived lack of ability.
She had been in Ivan's study group for more than half a month.
Parvati had good talent. Although she couldn't compare with Hermione, she was definitely at an above-average level as a first-year wizard.
However, she met a top student like Hermione.
"Am I stupid?"
Parvati originally thought she was quite smart, but compared with Hermione, she felt like nothing.
"How could that be!"
Hermione hurriedly said, "You just haven't found the trick yet."
Hermione actually didn't have many friends at Hogwarts.
Among the girls in the dormitory, Parvati had the best relationship with Hermione, followed by Lavender.
Unfortunately, Lavender was not very interested in studying.
"Don't worry, Parvati, cast it again and let me see."
Hermione began to teach Parvati patiently, while Ivan sat on the side, reading quietly.
Neville recited the text seriously, over and over again.
But his memory was so bad that he often forgot what he had just memorized.
"Alas."
Ivan really couldn't do much with Neville.
In the past two months, Ivan had thought about how to help Neville.
They were the only roommates, and Neville was so honest.
To put it bluntly, with a friend like Neville, you could trust him with your back.
Even if you really encountered a life-and-death crisis, Neville would use his body to block a curse for Ivan.
'If nothing else, just that point is worth my careful training.'
Ivan had long regarded Neville as part of his future team: 'Since I have chosen Gryffindor as my house, I must manage this core base well.'
With Hermione and Neville, Ivan was not so utilitarian.
He couldn't really use Neville to take the blame.
In fact, Parvati was the first "guinea pig" in Ivan's talent training plan.
Indeed, Gryffindor had many troublemakers and was nicknamed "Savage House" by the teachers.
But we have to admit that the students of the House of Reckless Courage truly have bravery that most people can hardly imagine.
Who are the pioneers of the world?
There are many different opinions on this issue.
The more universal view is that everyone is an indispensable part of the progress of civilization.
However, if Ivan were to choose, he would probably choose "the brave."
It is precisely because of the sacrifices of countless brave individuals that legends have been left behind, creating the glory of human civilization.
And this was Ivan's intuitive impression of the little lions of Gryffindor.
This is a group of reckless people who are not afraid of death.
If something happens, they would really go for it!
"Is there any way to improve the thinking attribute?"
Ivan could be sure that Neville's condition was due to impaired cognitive function.
So as long as this problem can be solved, Neville's future path in magic will be smooth sailing.
Ivan had calculated Neville's magical talent, and his talent was definitely not inferior to Harry's.
Do you know what level Harry is?
He'll be the director of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the boss of all the Aurors in England.
If the peak combat power of each country is similar, then Harry and Neville are definitely two minister-level wizards.
Their magical attainments may not be as high as McGonagall's and Flitwick's.
But if they were to actually fight, Harry, who is more at the peak of his abilities, would win.
After all, combat prowess and magical knowledge are not the same.
Knock knock.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Before Ivan could put down his book, Hermione used magic to open the door.
"Come in."
Harry stood outside the door.
"Good evening, am I late?"
He was holding two books in his arms, which were the textbooks for Charms and Transfiguration.
"Nope, not at all."
Yes, Harry was also a member of Ivan's study group.
This matter started from the Potions class after Ivan's decisive battle with Snape.
Perhaps because he was defeated by Ivan, Snape always deliberately or unintentionally targeted Ivan in class and asked some questions about potion knowledge that were obviously beyond the scope.
Ivan naturally couldn't answer all of them.
This gave Snape the opportunity to sneer and take revenge for being beaten.
Of course, Ivan was not afraid at all.
Snape can sneer at him all he wants, but Ivan would just ignore it.
Anyway, Ivan's meaning was very clear—as long as you don't deduct my points, you are the professor, and you are the boss of your class.
Snape was not an unreasonable person.
Although he vented his anger, the occasional potion knowledge he revealed did benefit Ivan a lot.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and grasped the degree.
On the surface, they competed with each other, but secretly gave each other enough face.
Of course, this scene was completely different in Harry's eyes.
Because Ivan shared the firepower, Harry's life in the Potions class was much better.
Especially when he saw Ivan dare to confront Snape, Harry was so excited that he regarded Ivan as an idol, and he almost said, "Big Brother, you were the first in Hogwarts to confront Snape!"
"Come sit, Harry."
Ivan greeted Harry, and seeing that there was no one beside him, he asked, "Where's Ron? Didn't he come with you?"
"Ron ..isn't feeling well."
When mentioning Ron, Harry's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Obviously, Harry had called Ron, but he just didn't want to come.
And from the looks of it, they seemed to have had a conflict.
"I see."
Ivan didn't comment; he didn't care whether Ron came or not.
Harry gave Ivan a good impression.
But Ron was a little off.
How to say it?
Perhaps Ron in the original book provided Harry with a lot of help.
But here, Ron is Harry's little follower.
He has an average talent for magic, an average attitude towards learning, and he is unwilling to work hard.
The first few times he followed Harry to participate in the study group, he couldn't calm down at all and looked restless.
'Let him be.'
Children can't calm down, like to play, and don't like to study. Ivan had been mentally prepared for this.
Ivan didn't care about these things, and he didn't lack one or two followers.
The first-year wizards, the little wizards in Gryffindor that Ivan could take seriously, were basically here.
'We already have Neville, Hermione, and Harry, what else do we need?'
Ivan shook his head and put the book back in place.
"It's almost time."
Ivan stood up from his seat, turned a cookie into a blackboard, and began teaching this study session.
"Everyone, please sit down first."
Ivan turned his wand into a teaching ruler, pointed at the words on the blackboard, and said, "What we are going to talk about today is the meaning of the marks drawn by the wand when casting a spell..."
Ivan's magic attainments were not better than those of the professors.
But what he had to do was targeted tutoring, which was much easier than the professors facing hundreds of students.
Like Professor McGonagall teaching Transfiguration to the young wizards, she had to consider six or seven grades and prepare teaching plans according to the wizards at different stages.
This makes it impossible for Professor McGonagall to understand the foundation and problems of every young wizard.
In contrast, Ivan would give special corrections based on the mistakes made by everyone when casting spells.
He also designed a set of practice plans for them and explained the tricks of each spell in a way that the young wizards could understand.
There have always been few people in the study group.
Some people only came once or twice and then never came again.
The only four who could really persevere and were regarded as regular members by Ivan were Hermione, Neville, Harry, and Parvati.
In this way, after a month of study, except for Neville, the magical level of Harry and the others had significantly improved.
At least they no longer needed to be timid in class, but could participate confidently and become Gryffindor's scoring contributors.
Harry's progress was visible to the naked eye, which made Ronald Weasly feel more pressured...
