Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

It sounds very similar to Voldemort. If it wasn't for the death of his sister that made Dumbledore repentant, I don't know what the current situation will be like.

It is possible that the entire wizarding world is under the combined rule of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, maybe.

This is probably Dumbledore's dark history, and he never took the initiative to talk about these past events.

It was the first time that Ivan heard Grindelwald's name from his mouth. Next, Dumbledore told him some knowledge about that trip and about the sea monsters, the ancient times in the maelstrom of Charybdis. Detail of the ruins.

Maybe it's because the time difference is too long, or it may be an illusion. Ivan always feels that Dumbledore's view in the vortex is not the same as the huge outline he saw in his memory. That outline represents a larger the terror of...

After telling Ivan something, Dumbledore agreed to let him follow Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime to Sicily.

Because of time constraints, they don't have to wait until the summer vacation, they will start in three days.

Dumbledore was also going to call Sirius back and let Sirius go with them.

With Sirius at his side, things can be safer.

Doing so would counteract Harry's urge to leave the Dursleys for the summer and live with Sirius.

He had to live with his uncle and aunt for a period of time, so that the protective magic cast by his mother could continue to work.

Just in case, Dumbledore also gave Ivan the Invisibility Cloak he found from Barty Crouch Jr.

There is only one invisibility cloak that really works, and that is the one in Harry's hand, which is one of the Deathly Hallows.

Barty Crouch Jr. is a traveling cloak woven from the hair of an invisible beast, with a powerful disillusionment spell on it. Compared with Harry's real one, the invisibility effect of this invisibility cloak will be less Time slowly weakens, and finally loses its function and appears entity, and it is more restricted.

Even so, the invisibility cloak is extremely valuable, second only to legendary magic items.

Invisible beasts are not magical creatures that are easy to find and hunt, and it may take years, if not decades, just to find them.Not to mention, the furs of many invisible beasts are needed to make one such invisibility cloak, so the number of similar items in the magic world will never exceed a hundred.

More than an hour later, Ivan left Dumbledore with his invisibility and returned to the common room.

He told Harry, Ron, and Hermione that he was going to set off with Hagrid, Madame Maxime, and Sirius to find the giant in Sicily, and all three of them were taken aback.

They want to go with Alvin, but no, the semester is not over yet, and they have to stay in school to take the final exam.

After Dumbledore announced that the Triwizard Tournament had been cancelled, final exams were back on the agenda.

This caught all the students off guard and complained endlessly.

Fred and George even said they considered Voldemort's return from the dead to be the most disastrous.

It's okay for Harry and Ron, and for Hermione, Ivan promised to take her on the next adventure.

Judging from the current situation, he had to break his promise again...

Hermione didn't say anything. After knowing this, she took the initiative to go to the library to help Aiwen find information near Sicily, which made Aiwen feel very sorry.According to the plan, he planned to go to Egypt to watch Jade Record during the summer vacation, and there was no danger in this process.

Aiwen is going to invite Hermione to accompany her, if she and her parents agree...

Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day they set off, and all of Ivan's things had been packed.He, Sirius, Hagrid, and Madame Maxime planned to go to Beauxbatons through the Floo network first, and then set off from there to take the flying carriage directly to Sicily, Italy.

Because they didn't want the outside world to know that they had a connection with the giants, the whole process was kept secret.

Chapter 728 Situation Analysis

In the short term, Voldemort didn't want to draw attention to himself, and neither did Dumbledore and the Order.

Especially Fudge and the Ministry of Magic, who have now completely fallen out with Dumbledore and seem determined to do something about Hogwarts.

If they knew of Dumbledore's connection to giants, they'd have a good excuse...

Therefore, the whereabouts of the four of Aiwen and the others must be kept secret and cannot be discovered by the Ministry of Magic.

Although the sudden disappearance of four people would definitely arouse suspicion, but as long as there is no sufficient evidence, Fudge can't make a fuss about it.

He is now focused on reforming the education of Hogwarts, and it is said that he has come up with a preliminary plan and is further improving it.

Not surprisingly, when Ivan returns to Hogwarts again, he should see Professor Umbridge!

The four of them set off very early, and Ivan said goodbye to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Colin, Gabriel, Fleur and others last night.

Hermione used three days to prepare a lot of information about giants for him, almost filling a whole schoolbag.

It includes the legend of the Cyclops, the giant war, and the way wizards and giants get along with each other.

In order to reduce reading time, she also kindly helped Ai Wen draw the key points...

Hermione is very good at this kind of thing. She can always predict what the teachers are going to test and get high marks easily.

Harry and Ron have relied on her help over the years to not fall too far behind in their grades.

Although the focus of Aiwen's trip was not on giants, to be honest, looking at these things is really helpful to gain knowledge.

What moved him the most was Hermione's relationship with him. She stayed up late every day for the past three days to search for information.

As for Fleur and Gabrielle, they will remain at Hogwarts until the end of term.

After Alvin turned into Gabriel to complete the second competition event, his relationship with their sisters took a step further.

Fu Rong asked Ai Wen about her summer vacation plans. She is about to graduate this summer, and she is going to have fun around the world first, and then she is looking for a job. She prefers to come to the UK to improve her English.

After hearing that Ivan was planning to go to Egypt for the summer vacation, she seemed to be planning to bring Gabriel along...

"Good morning!" Ivan greeted.

When he walked into Dumbledore's office, everyone else was already waiting here!

Professor Moody was there too, having agreed to continue teaching at Hogwarts until the end of the term after his recovery.

To be honest, his teaching style is actually similar to that shown by Keresis and Barty Crouch Jr., even a little rougher.

Moody's suspicions are too heavy, and every class requires students to be vigilant at all times and be careful of those around them.

According to what he said, it seems that no one can be trusted, and anyone may be trying to murder you...

Although the method is very rough, he still has some real skills. He can systematically conduct preliminary Auror training for the students to improve their actual combat ability and resistance to black magic. This is especially important after Voldemort's return.

Whether the young wizards wanted to believe that Voldemort had returned, they quickly accepted the new Professor Moody.

Because of Ivan and Harry, Dumbledore reconvened the Order of the Phoenix after Voldemort returned.

Their present task was to do their utmost to ensure that Voldemort could not carry out his plans.

What Voldemort needs to do now is nothing more than three things. The first thing is to figure out why he can't kill Harry, and why his wand doesn't work after the duel with Harry. In order to figure this out, he needs to get that prophecy.

Snape must have mentioned this to him when he returned, telling Voldemort that the prophecy he knew was not complete.

In this way, in the case that Voldemort does not want to show up, he must lure Harry to the Ministry of Magic to get the prophecy ball.

As for the second thing, the more powerful power that Voldemort needs to obtain comes from the power of evil gods.

Since he knew the method from Keresis, the focus of the breakthrough must be on them.

Ivan and Dumbledore also wanted to get in touch with them, but this group of vampires disappeared all of a sudden, and they didn't know where they went, so they could only wait.

Another method is the secret treasure of the Big Four of Hogwarts, which must be related to how to defeat the evil god.

The third thing is to regroup and train the army.

Sirius and Ivan said that in the past, a large number of people listened to Voldemort's command: those wizards who followed him because of his despotic power or being deceived by him, those loyal Death Eaters, and all kinds of black forces Demons and ghosts, such as werewolves, giants, acromantula and so on.

He certainly wouldn't bring dozens of Death Eaters to compete with the Ministry of Magic, which has thousands of staff members. Although Voldemort himself is very strong and no one is his opponent, it is impossible to fight against so many opponents at the same time.

Therefore, he had to train another army, a dark army that completely obeyed his command.

At the same time, the Order of the Phoenix also needs to regroup its strength and absorb new personnel to join.

In front of Aiwen, these wizards are almost the current elite of the Order of the Phoenix. Although Aiwen admits that they are all strong and well-trained wizards, the number of them is too small, and the aging phenomenon is very serious...

Voldemort is weak now, but Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix are even weaker than him.

The most powerful force at the moment is undoubtedly Fudge and his Ministry of Magic, but they will not take any meaningful measures of action.

Fudge is unwilling to believe this matter, but lists Dumbledore as the biggest enemy at present, which is really bad.

They can only rely on themselves. Sirius has been running around for the past few days, trying to get as many people as possible to believe that Voldemort has really returned, so that they can be more vigilant, and even join the Order of the Phoenix to stand at the forefront against Voldemort.

But this is a tricky thing to do, and few people are willing to trust them.

Ivan originally expected that "Hogwarts Wizardry" would play a role in letting more people know about Voldemort's return.

But obviously, Fudge and his think tank had anticipated this, and shortly after returning, he sent special censors to the newspaper.

Their only task is to check whether there is any illegal content on the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" that is not suitable for publication. Lupine believes that their doing so is illegal, and they are protesting to the Ministry of Magic through normal legal channels...

In order to ensure that the "Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry" will not be seized, Dumbledore asked them to temporarily not publish the article about Voldemort's return.

This is the most troublesome place, they can't fight against the Ministry of Magic on the bright side.

Chapter 729 Goodbye Nicolas May

So far, the Floo network at Hogwarts is not under the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic, at least not in Dumbledore's office.

Using this fireplace, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic would not know where Ivan and the four of them went.

As for Voldemort, he has probably sent envoys to contact the giants, and they will meet sooner or later, and it is estimated that it will be a fierce battle.

The giants are hiding in Sicily, Italy, and it's not easy to find them.

They live in a very hidden place, deep in the mountains, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, at least for human beings.

Dumbledore had been there before and was able to guide them, and he told Hagrid all of that.

In the matter of communicating with the giants, Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime are the main ones. Ivan and Sirius are just cooperating. Although they know that it is difficult to persuade the giants, they must know Dumbledore's attitude and persuade them. They don't want to completely fall for Voldemort.

In Aiwen's view, this is a journey doomed to failure purely from the perspective of persuading giants.

Voldemort had much more to offer the giants than Dumbledore could promise, and it was far more attractive.

But they had to take the initiative to get in touch with the giants and try their best to communicate.

Because giants are powerful in combat, they are very powerful magical creatures and cannot be ignored.

"I hope you can understand that this is a very difficult journey, not only because of the bad environment, climbing rocks, sleeping in rock caves, etc., but also encountering Death Eaters and fighting them at any time." Dumbledore Said, looking at the four of them, "Communication with giants is also a big difficulty, you must be vigilant at all times, and you cannot relax!"

"I have no problem!" Maxim said worriedly, "but this child is too young, he can't..."

"I can do it!" Ivan said hastily.

Except for Ivan, Dumbledore and Sirius, they didn't tell anyone else Ivan's real purpose this time, even Hagrid didn't know, everyone thought he followed to accompany Hagrid and Maxim Madame seeks out giants.

For a little wizard of thirteen or fourteen, this is indeed too dangerous!

After learning about this, Mrs. Maxim has always opposed it. She doesn't know Ivan well and has no confidence.

"This journey is indeed extraordinary. You will face many dangers beyond your imagination. This is a great test for Aiwen, but I believe he has no problem. He has used his past experience to prove that he can be trusted." Deng Bliss said calmly.

"That's right, I can also prove it, Ivan is already a very good wizard!" Sirius agreed.

"Wizards can grow the fastest only in life-and-death struggles, and the flowers in the greenhouse will never be able to bear the burden." Moody said gruffly, turning his head to look at Ivan, "I don't know how this kid behaved in the past. How about it, but the Giants are a good opponent, and I'm in favor of him."

"But..." Madam Maxim still hesitated.

"Okay, Orim! Ivan is indeed a great wizard, we have to admit it!" Hagrid followed, looking at Mrs. Maxim, "He can help a lot by following, we You can't underestimate him just because he's young."

After Hagrid finished speaking, Maxim nodded suspiciously and said nothing more.

"Very well, if there are no other questions, I would like to say a few words about getting rid of the surveillance of the Ministry of Magic and communicating with giants. There are a few points that must be paid attention to." Dumbledore continued, "Ivan, you can Go to Madam Maxim's office first and wait for them, Nico is already there, and he wants to tell you something."

Ivan nodded, looked at the five of them again, and turned to the fireplace.

Green flames flashed, and after a whirl, he was the first to emerge from Beauxbaton's exquisite fireplace.

This is Madam Maxim's office, located at the top of Beauxbaton Castle, with plenty of light.

The same as Beauxbaton's main decoration style, everything is surrounded by gold and red, and the decorations inside are also very luxurious.

The whole room is divided into upper and lower floors. The two huge stone pillars on the innermost side are carved into the appearance of two young witches. The stars flashed.

Mrs. Maxim's desk is under the curtain, and the desk is full of thick documents.

The table and the chairs behind it were much larger than normal, and were specially made for Madame Maxime's figure.

On the right side of the room, a staircase extends upwards, and on the upper floor are rows of summer holidays and a small tea hall.

An old man in a dark gold wizard robe was sitting at the tea table, with cake and steaming coffee in front of him.

"Good morning, Ivan, nice to meet you!" Nick Flame said with a smile, looking up at Ivan.

"Hello, Professor LeMay!" Ivan replied respectfully, looking around.

"When we parted before last year, I had a premonition that we would meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" said Flamel, stepping down from the top, "Yes, Albus told me everything, the relationship between us There is a special contact method. How has your life been in the past year, and how far has the alchemy I taught you progressed?"
