Reborn at Hogwarts

In the Responsive Room full of clutter, Ivan raised his magic wand high, letting the light from the tip of the wand illuminate a small area in front of him.

As expected, the crown is gone.

The place where the dirty, rusty diadem should have been placed was empty, in stark contrast to the clutter around it.

Ivan checked his surroundings carefully.

Apart from the crown being taken away, everything else remained as it was.

It should have been taken last night, after the basilisk died...

Ivan thought.

When Ms. Helena Ravenclaw took him out of the Chamber of Secrets yesterday, he saw the basilisk again, but it had turned into a corpse, and the Fiendfire filling the pipe had disappeared.

Judging from Fiendfire's characteristics, it was obvious that someone did it.

Ivan guessed that it was Riddle who did it.

Because the basilisk couldn't leave Hogwarts with him, and he was worried that this terrifying monster would be used by Dumbledore in turn, so he could only kill him when he left.

As for why Fiendflame was extinguished, he didn't know.

After confirming that the crown that Riddle made into a horcrux had been taken away and that there were no traces left behind, Ivan stopped staying and prepared to leave the Room of Requirement.

Regarding the information he saw in Rowena Ravenclaw's memory before, he still needs to calm down and sort it out.

But when he was about to leave, Ivan saw something unexpected.

a door panel.

To be precise, it was the door panel that Paracelsus used to store the extra body so that it could be replaced when needed.

Why are you still here?

Ivan suddenly became alert.

This old guy, isn't he still trying to infiltrate Hogwarts through it?

But after a little thought, Ivan knew that this was impossible.

It was because of Dumbledore's permission that the spare body could be stored in the door panel space.

The old wizard himself knew about it.

In a sense, Dumbledore is much more cautious than Ivan. After Paracelsus openly opposed him and Hogwarts, he would not allow such a magic item with huge potential risks Still in school.

Unless it's out of danger.

Is the relevant function removed? Or is this a Hogwarts item that Paracelsus just borrowed?

But Ivan was still a little uneasy.

He thought for a while, and left an "eye of insight" nearby for surveillance.

In this way, if something abnormal happens, he will know immediately.

After finishing this, Ivan left the Room of Requirement, ready to meet Dumbledore.

...

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore was not at school.

After what happened last night, the old wizard chose to go out, not knowing what to do.

But before he left, he left a note and entrusted the stone beast at the door of the office to hand it to Ivan when he came to visit.

Although the stone beast swore that Dumbledore only left him this note, Ivan saw another note from under its paw.

Probably reserved for Harry Potter.

The old bee really trained Harry in the direction of the savior...

Thinking of this, Ivan took the note from the stone beast's paw.

It reads in neat handwriting:

"Ivan:

It may take a few days to return when going out on business, and the acting principal during this time is Professor McGonagall. If you need to explain to me what happened on Halloween night, you can come after I return to school, and the password remains the same.

Albus Dumbledore"

Ivan glanced at it briefly, then put the note away.

Lao Deng probably went to do something important.

Ivan suspected that what he was doing was related to Paracelsus and Tom Riddle.

The old wizard must have known about Riddle's regained body, and probably also learned about the cooperation between Voldemort and the alchemist.

For Hogwarts, this is tantamount to adding two more dangerous "extremely deadly" enemies at once.

Faced with such a critical situation, Dumbledore must also make preparations.

After saying goodbye to the stone beast, Ivan left the principal's office without further investigation.

After returning to the dormitory, the afternoon class of the roommates was not over yet, and Zoe also went back to class. Ivan finally had time to sort out the information he had obtained in the past two days.

The kingdom of the dead, the descendants of Ravenclaw, Paracelsus, Geralt Vesemir and the Philosopher's Stone, these five formed a thread in his heart.

Below the Kingdom of the Dead, there are two lines of "Deathly Hallows" and "Hrasvarger".

Below Paracelsus is the resurrected Dark Lord: "Tom Riddle".

As for "Cuiyulu", he listed it separately, and drew a big question mark next to it.

Through Helena Ravenclaw's narration and Rowena's diary, Ivan got a lot of information.

First of all, he can be sure that the Philosopher's Stone is undoubtedly the stepping stone to enter the Kingdom of the Dead.

Rowena Ravenclaw entered the Kingdom of the Dead several times, relying on this stone.

Helga Hufflepuff also bluntly stated that in order to enter the "underworld", Godric Gryffindor took Rowena's Philosopher's Stone.

This is enough to illustrate the connection between the two.

It's just that Ivan still didn't understand where this connection came from.

And Geralt Vesemir.

Thinking of him, Ivan's mood became very complicated.

The nominal ancestor of the Vesemir family, the husband of Rowena Ravenclaw, the father of Lady Gray, the great alchemist who refined the Philosopher's Stone... Where did he go after he disappeared? Whether he is still alive or not, Ivan has no idea.

But Ivan had a vague feeling.

The black-robed wizard who once disguised himself as the "future Ivan", and the "faceless man" without facial features... They may all have a deep connection with Geralt Vesemir.

The possibility of death is very small, and it is more likely that he is still lingering in a corner of the world, suspected to be planning something.

Ivan labeled his ancestors in his heart.

Let’s not mention Ravenclaw’s successor for the time being. Ivan still doesn’t know what this identity requires him to do. He is going to wait until he confirms the reason for the “petrification” before considering reading Rowena’s diary.

The same is true for Paracelsus, this old guy who always pops up out of nowhere to make troubles gives Ivan a headache every time, but he can't think of a way to deal with him, so he can only temporarily Set aside.

Jade Record...

Ivan thought of it, and immediately fell into thinking again.
