What?"
Malfoy looked puzzled by Ivan's relaxed words.
What do you mean by 'I don't understand your logic'? "I mean…"
Ivan didn't dislike Malfoy; he just saw him as a spoiled child.
If he really wanted to say something hurtful, like Daly, who often bullied Harry, Harry might have turned him into a maggot. "Don't you see the difference between us?"
Ivan sat down not far from Malfoy.
Seeing this, Hermione stepped forward, acting like a supportive fan girl.
Neville watched nervously, but he gathered his courage and followed.
Soon, the long table was filled with Malfoy, Goyle, Crabbe, Pansy, and Ivan. "What do you want from me?"
Malfoy was clearly scared of Ivan, remembering how Ivan had beaten him on the train.
Suddenly, Malfoy regretted provoking Ivan. "My dad is the headmaster at Hogwarts!"
He said this nervously, "You, if you…"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Ivan patted Malfoy on the shoulder and smiled. "We're all classmates; there's no need to be so tense, right?"
Crabbe and Goyle were intimidated by Ivan, and Pansy had already seen Ivan's magical skills when he started school.
Even though she had a crush on Malfoy, she wasn't foolish enough to stand up to Ivan.
Of course, she would want to protect Malfoy.
What girl would allow the boy she liked to be bullied?
However, before Pansy could do anything, Ivan's gaze landed on her.
In an instant, Pansy felt a shiver run through her, as if she had fallen into a freezing cave, leaving her stunned. "But…"
Shocking someone with a crush, Ivan continued: "You need to understand one thing, Draco.
"In the wizarding world, magic is power!"
Ivan simply stared at Malfoy silently.
The invisible pressure made Draco feel stressed, and he instinctively stopped his provoking attitude.
"I, I know."
Malfoy was frightened. Deep down, he didn't want to clash with Ivan again.
He thought carefully about the conflict between them.
Hermione?
Mudblood?
Muggle-born wizard?
For now, let's not discuss Hermione. Malfoy just looked down on her.
There was nothing he could do about it.
The social structure in the wizarding world was like this: Mudbloods were always at the bottom of the hierarchy.
Contempt, disdain, and bloodline issues were things Ivan had seen in his previous life.
Rich people looked down on the poor.
People with good jobs looked down on those with less desirable ones.
People with beautiful and capable wives looked down on single men.
Were you going to beat someone just because they looked down on you?
Ivan thought: 'Yes, I would definitely fight back.'
If you don't have the strength, you have to endure, but if you're strong enough, why tolerate it?
So, when Malfoy insulted Hermione by saying "mudblood," Ivan took action and taught that arrogant brat a lesson.
You might think Ivan had no right to intervene.
But if you say something awful out loud, you're asking for trouble.
Magic is power!
If you can't defeat me, then you need to be quiet and stop making things worse for yourself.
"KR…"
Malfoy was left speechless by Ivan's aggressive attitude.
He sat there with a very ugly expression but didn't dare to lose his temper with Ivan, so he just held it in.
When Harry and Ron arrived, they saw the scene.
The four Malfoys were sitting in one corner, while Ivan, Hermione, and Neville were on the other side, going through their potion class textbooks.
"What's going on?"
Harry and Ron quickly learned from Seamus what had happened earlier.
They heard that Malfoy wanted to cause trouble for Ivan.
But before he could make a move, Ivan had made him back down with just a few words, even making him keep his distance.
This news excited Harry and Ron.
Unfortunately, before they could celebrate, a dark figure appeared in the doorway of the classroom, exuding an intimidating presence.
Ivan turned to look and saw a man dressed in a long black robe and cloak. He was tall and thin, with straight hair, cold eyes, and a pale face. He looked like a giant black bat.
Severus Snape was the most talented wizard in the entire Harry Potter series, except for Dumbledore and Voldemort.
He had inherited his mother's talent for potions and showed incredible skill in improving spells as soon as he started school.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for Lily, Snape might never have become such a great wizard.
'What a pity.'
This was the first time Ivan had seen Snape since the opening dinner.
As soon as the head of Slytherin House entered the room, he brought a heavy sense of pressure to the young witches and wizards.
Snape stood at the front, picked up the list, and began calling names. He paused when he reached Harry's name.
At that moment, Harry had no idea of the trouble that awaited him.
'It's starting, Harry Potter's moment is about to unfold.'
Ivan remained calm and had no intention of helping Harry.
After all, this situation was the fault of Harry's father.
They say that the hatred for someone who steals your partner is unforgettable.
It was amazing that Snape could control his anger when he saw Harry, who looked just like James Potter.
'The beloved goddess was taken by the rogue blonde man.'
'To protect her, he chose to become a double agent, silently giving everything without asking for anything in return.'
'After the goddess died, he risked his life to protect her and the son of the blonde man.'
Especially since the goddess' son looked almost exactly like the blonde man, except for his green eyes.
"It's so impressive."
Thinking this, Ivan couldn't help but admire Snape, who truly deserved the title of the greatest lover in the Harry Potter series.
Strong, really strong!
"You really are the true man of the wizarding world."
"What did you say, Ivan?"
Hermione, having heard Ivan mumble, didn't catch it clearly and asked.
"Oh, nothing."
Ivan didn't elaborate, just casually praised, "I'm just saying our Potions professor is amazing."
"Really?"
Hermione didn't press further. She trusted Ivan's words and was excited about Snape's teaching skills.
"Very impressive, very impressive."
At that moment, Snape looked up from the list at Harry: "Harry Potter, our new celebrity."
Malfoy and his friends, Crabbe and Goyle, covered their mouths, trying to suppress their laughter.
Seeing Harry being treated oddly, Malfoy's anger toward Ivan quickly faded.
'I shouldn't have provoked Ivan after all.'
Malfoy thought: 'Is Harry no longer interesting? Or has Scarhead surrendered?'
In that moment, Malfoy made up his mind.
The source of his amusement still had to be Harry Potter!
