Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Whether you admit it or not, among all the students at Hogwarts, Aiwen is the most famous.

Founded a very successful newspaper, the strength far surpassed the little wizard of the same age, defeated the terrifying basilisk, proved the innocence of Professor Lupine, rescued Sirius Black, defeated the evil Peter Pettigrew, etc. A sensational event in the wizarding world...

It took Aiwen less than two years to accomplish things that many wizards could not accomplish in a lifetime.

Considering his age and Muggle origins, it was incredible to be able to do that.

While everyone envied Ivan, they also had to admire his efforts.

He and Hermione spent more time in the library every day than all the little wizards, and even the students preparing for the wizard level exam were inferior to the two of them.

You can often see such a picture, Ivan and Hermione are sitting on the long black table at the innermost side of the library, surrounded by thick magic books or other materials, and the two of them quietly sit together by candlelight Watching, taking notes, and occasionally whispering a few words.

In the quiet atmosphere, there is a touch of warmth.

That long table was their two fixed seats. Ivan and Hermione used to come there an hour after dinner and stay there until about ten o'clock in the evening.

If it was early, Hermione would have two cups of hot chocolate ready.Because there is no sugar in it, it is particularly bitter. Ivan drank it with a frown every time under Hermione's smiling gaze, but this thing is very helpful for improving the spirit.

After leaving the library, the two of them will wander around the dark castle.

Then head back to the Gryffindor common room to chat with others, play wizarding games, or help Harry, Ron, and Colin with their homework.

Ivan and Hermione's schedule is very regular, and everyone is already familiar with it.

But since the beginning of the new semester, everything has changed imperceptibly.

The first is Hermione, because she has too many courses to choose, she shuttles back and forth between different classes every day, and has no free time.Every night, I also used to finish my homework in the corner of the common room instead of going to the library to read.

Aiwen spends more and more time in the library. He hardly participates in any college activities now. As long as there is no class, he just sits in the library alone.

Near his seat, he could sometimes smell the pungent smell of potions.

Any wizard who has in-depth research on potion science will know that these potions that Aiwen takes are energy potions, which can allow the user to concentrate, improve concentration, and not feel tired in a short period of time.

The materials needed for this potion are extremely precious, and little wizards generally don't use them.

But Aiwen couldn't help himself. What he lacks most now is time.

He has completely reached a bottleneck in the research of the black magic books taken out of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, and needs to supplement more theoretical knowledge as a basis.

Because it is all the most cutting-edge black magic, the theoretical knowledge that Aiwen needs to supplement is also very profound and complicated, and he can only read and study in the library during the day.

After everyone fell asleep at night, he still had to take out those taboo black magic books and conduct research secretly by himself to verify some of his ideas.

With the deepening of the research, Aiwen's magic water strength increased rapidly.

The side effects are also very obvious. If things go on like this, if it is not for the help of the potion, his body will not be able to bear it at all.

In fact, Ivan's recent abnormal behavior has also attracted some people's attention.

For example, Mrs. Pince, the librarian, can tell what she thinks of Ivan from the increasingly worried expression on her face.

If you take the time to talk to her, Mrs. Pince will be more than willing to express her opinion on Ivan.

In her opinion, Aiwen is likely to become an evil dark wizard.

Many of the magic books he borrowed were taboo-like, and they were all theoretical knowledge related to black magic or dark creatures.Although after the school's screening, there are no direct black magic books, but frequent borrowing of these magic books is not a good sign in itself.

However, Ivan had a note from Sirius in his hand, and Dumbledore also acquiesced in Ivan's behavior. Although Mrs. Pince was worried, she couldn't say anything.

In addition to her, Ron was also paying special attention to Ivan's behavior and research content.

Ever since he inadvertently discussed the topic of Ivan with Harry that night, the seeds of distrust germinated in his heart.

Although he repeatedly warned himself deep in his heart that Aiwen had saved him from the basilisk and Pettigrew many times before, he should believe in Aiwen unconditionally.

But when he thought that Aiwen might be doing evil black hair research, the strange emotion in Ron's heart became stronger and stronger.

It is undeniable that he is very jealous of Ivan, jealous of everything he owns.

Ron was used to this feeling. Ever since he was a child, he was very jealous of his brothers, jealous of their new magic supplies, achievements and so on.

After entering Hogwarts, he also used to be jealous of Harry.

But in general, he is still willing to believe them.Ron's deepest emotion was not so much jealousy as he was just envious, envious of what they had that he didn't have, power, achievement, fame and so on.

But now he is full of suspicion and distrust towards Aiwen while being jealous.As time went by, Ron became more and more suspicious of what Ivan was doing, doubting what he was researching, what he had done, and even his purpose of saving himself, etc.

Ron knew that his thoughts might be abnormal, even scary.

He can be sure that he is not under the influence of any magic that confuses the mind. This is what he really thinks in his heart, and the seeds of distrust have germinated.

Ron hesitated for a long time to contradict himself, and finally found the answer.

He is not doubting Ivan, he is helping the other party.If Aiwen is really conducting black magic research, he should stop it as soon as possible.

When Ivan understands, he should be grateful to him.

Unlike Mrs. Pince, the librarian who discovered the clues but was not prepared to take any action, Ron decided to investigate the content of Ivan's research.

He had discussed this issue with Harry many times.But there was no result. Although Harry was a little worried, he generally believed in Ivan.Harry repeatedly admonished Ron, maybe he was overcomplicating things.

Even if Aiwen is really studying black magic, he must have a valid reason.

In Ron's view, it's not that he thinks complicated, but that Harry thinks too simply. Like everyone else, everyone is confused by Ivan's appearance.

Since Harry was unwilling to help, he was prepared to go it alone.

Ron was going to start with the notebook with scary patterns drawn on it that he secretly saw that day, and figure out what Ivan was doing.

Because he is well aware of Aiwen's current influence in the school, before everything is investigated, Ron does not intend to make a statement, nor does he intend to talk about this matter with others. This matter is just a secret that belongs to him alone.

After discussing with Ron a few times, seeing that he never mentioned it again, Harry gradually put the matter behind him and devoted himself to Quidditch training.

It's just that he didn't even know that Aiwen was conducting research on black magic, which had left a deep impression on him.

Unlike Ron, who was ready to take action, Harry just didn't want to think about it, didn't want to believe it.

However, the seeds of mistrust have been planted, quietly waiting for the day to germinate.

Chapter 258 Ai Wen's Strength

Ivan didn't notice Ron's abnormality, but what happened next made him wake up suddenly, realizing that he had been too immersed in the study of black magic recently.

This behavior is wrong and extremely dangerous.

He then changed his research content, focused more on the analysis of magic principles, and took those black magics as supplementary knowledge that needs to be understood, and used this as a starting point to study the principles and structures of magic, and the things involved. Many theories and so on.

In the subsequent research, Aiwen used the magic principles recorded in the magic book more to improve his own strength, instead of trying to use the black magic recorded above.

Although this made his research several times more difficult, and he needed to read many more magic books, it essentially prevented Aiwen from becoming a dark wizard.

Last year, Tom Riddle's diary once tempted Ivan to practice and use black magic frequently, hoping that he would be addicted to powerful power and could not extricate himself.

Since then, Ivan has noticed that excessive use of black magic will make the wizard's soul evil and unstable.With the use of black magic, many cruel thoughts will appear in the heart, and even change a person completely.

In recent research, the knowledge learned from many ancient magic books also verified Ivan's original conjecture.

Although the magic world has not yet reached a consensus on the source of magic, magic power comes from blood, and the essence of magic spells depends on the power of spirit and heart. This theory has been recognized by more and more wizards.

In addition to the strength of the wizard's own magic power, the source and power of black magic mainly depend on whether the user's heart is evil enough.

Using black magic for a long time will make a wizard gradually become evil.

Aiwen has no such intentions. His purpose of studying black magic is to improve his own strength, to have a more in-depth and comprehensive understanding of dark wizards, Voldemort, and the enemies he will face, instead of turning himself into an evil dark wizard .

Therefore, after discovering the clue, he hastily changed the research content.

Aiwen destroyed the previous research notes, which also caused Ron, who had been investigating secretly, to find nothing. He secretly looked through a lot of Aiwen's things, but he couldn't find the scary pattern he saw back then. notebook.

Although no evidence was found, the way he looked at Ivan became more and more strange.

After a short period of confusion, Ron felt surprisingly angry. He thought that Ivan must have found out that he was investigating him and destroyed all evidence of black magic.

Ivan didn't notice Ron's abnormality, and the incident that woke him up was related to the so-called college war.

Because of the strengthening of management in the castle, Gryffindor and Slytherin did not fight, but small frictions continued.In this matter, Snape and Sirius did not play a good leading role. As the date of the Quidditch match, which decided this year's Academy Cup, approached, Malfoy and the others would come over to provoke them almost every day.

This situation continued until Sirius' duel club was reorganized.

Not long after the Ravenclaw-Slytherin Quidditch match, a notice was taped to a bulletin board with Sirius' proposed restoration of the Dueling Club.

Not surprisingly, this incident received unanimous response from the young wizards in the school.

Although the dueling club held by Lockhart last year turned out to be a joke, everyone recognized that Sirius was powerful. The thought of learning dueling skills and spells from him made everyone excited.

Even more anticipated than the re-formation of the Dueling Club itself was the duel between Sirius and Snape, which had become a hot topic in the school, with everyone arguing about who was stronger between Sirius and Snape.

Unfortunately, Snape didn't show up at the first meeting of the Dueling Club.

Because of Dumbledore's intervention, both Snape and Sirius restrained and restrained a lot. Even though both sides made no secret of their disgust and dislike for each other, at least they didn't fight in front of the students like they did before.

At the dueling club led by Sirius, Snape did not appear, and Sirius asked Professor Flitwick to be his opponent.

The gathering was relatively normal at the beginning, and it went very smoothly.Everyone learned duel etiquette, Professor Flitwick explained several common spells in duels, and Sirius also imparted some of his combat experience to everyone.

For Aiwen, it may be a little low-level, but other young wizards still find it very interesting and learn with gusto, and there are many senior students among them.

This is not surprising, Hogwarts has never taught young wizards any knowledge related to duels before, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that should bear the main responsibility is also very bad, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that changes every year Professors, among them there are many unworthy wizards like Lockhart, or people with ulterior motives like Quirrell.

Their teaching methods are also very different. It is difficult for young wizards to systematically and comprehensively learn the knowledge of resisting black magic from this course.

For magic spells related to Defense Against the Dark Arts and duels, most young wizards rely on self-study and self-comprehension.

People are more interested in trick magic than regular spells.

It is undeniable that these magic spells may have unexpected effects in battle, but in terms of effectiveness, they cannot compare with common standard dueling spells.

The club held by Sirius has achieved unprecedented success, and the dueling skills he and Professor Flitwick demonstrated have also made everyone hooked.

Before the group practice, everything went very smoothly.But then the situation began to take a turn for the worse. I don't know whether it was intentional or not. During group practice, Sirius paired many Gryffindors and Slytherins into a group.

Aiwen's opponent was a second-year boy whose name he didn't remember, and the other party seemed to want to cast a curse on him.However, before he even raised his wand, Ivan's wand knocked his wand away from him.

He looked at Ivan in astonishment, unable to believe what happened before his eyes.Although Aiwen is very famous, before the competition, he didn't think that his strength was much worse than Aiwen's. His strength was the strongest among the second-year Slytherin students.

He didn't plan to use the Eliminate Weapon and Iron Armor Curse as Sirius said, but gave Ivan a severe lesson, making him lose face in front of the whole school.

Ivan didn't know what the Slytherin student in front of him was thinking, and he had no interest in naive magic exercises with him.

He has been analyzing the duel between himself and Snape. With the research and mastery of black magic and other magic theories, his magic power has improved by leaps and bounds recently.

Aiwen thinks that he can persist under Snape for a longer time now. If the magic power is strong enough, it is not impossible to counter the opponent to a certain extent.

In this case, the strength of the guy opposite is not enough at all.

Aiwen now has a deeper understanding of the simple spell of removing your weapon, and it is more handy to use, almost instantaneous.

He didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but resolved the battle as quickly as possible.

Chapter 259 Aiwen's Black Magic

Compared with Ivan's neat end to the battle, the situation of other groups is much worse.

The young wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin House were in an inseparable fight. They seemed to regard this group practice of spells as a long-awaited college war, and they were ready to win or lose here.

In addition to the weapons and armor spells required by Sirius, the spells used by everyone are also varied, and there are all kinds of evil spells.

People like Goyle and Crabbe even fought with Ron and Neville directly.

Like the dueling club organized by Lockhart last year, the scene was chaotic.

But Snape wasn't here this time, and Sirius unreservedly favored Gryffindor.With his help, Harry and the others quickly gained the upper hand, defeating the Slytherin students steadily and completely suppressing them.

The first meeting of the Dueling Club ended with cheers from Gryffindor.

Not surprisingly, Malfoy and the other Slytherin students were all furious. For the proud Slytherin, this was simply the greatest shame.

Because of this incident, the long-standing fragile balance between the two colleges was finally broken.

The Slytherins prepared to retaliate, letting Gryffindor know of their anger.

They discussed for a long time, and finally decided to take a more direct approach, ambush a certain Gryffindor student and provoke a war between the two houses.

I don't know whose opinion, Ai Wen became their target.

First of all, Ivan is famous enough.

He is now an iconic figure of Gryffindor College, as long as he can give Ivan a severe lesson, it will be enough to vent his anger and achieve the effect needed for revenge.

Secondly, Ivan's work and rest schedule is very regular.

Almost all little wizards knew that Aiwen was the last one to leave the library every night, and he was alone when he arrived, with no one else to help.
