Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

The letter was addressed to Bathilda Bagshot, the famous historian of magic and friend of Dumbledore, who lived in Godric's Hollow and was a neighbor of the Potters.

The other was there until the night Voldemort went to attack, so she knew a lot of details.

Half an hour later, Ivan finished the letter.

He was very satisfied with what he wrote. In the letter, he described his purpose in a tone of admiration from the younger generation, hoping to get help from the other party, so that more little wizards would know about Lily, and sincerely Invite her to be the historical consultant of the "Hogwarts Wizardry".

He went to the owl room to deliver the letter. Looking at the owl gradually disappearing into the night, a smile appeared on the corner of Ivan's mouth. I believe that it won't be long before the great headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, will learn from his old friend. , know this thing.

Ivan is confident that with the help of Dumbledore, Mrs. Bagshot will be happy to tell herself everything that happened that day.

Chapter 17 Luna Lovegood

The next day, the second graders had Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the first time.

Although Lockhart's class yesterday almost became a joke, it didn't stop the girls from continuing to adore him.For example, Hermione, she has always stubbornly believed that Lockhart deliberately released the elf to give everyone more opportunities to practice.

So when Aiwen rushed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he was not surprised to see all the girls sitting in the front row of the class.

After the class was seated, Lockhart entered the room, still looking radiant.

"Hi everyone, I think you all know me!" He blinked, revealing eight white teeth, "Ghidroy Lockhart, Order of Merlin Third Class, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five I won the "Wizard Weekly" award for the most charming smile for the first time, but I never talk about it, I didn't exorcise Wan Lun's female ghost with a smile!"

Very old-fashioned opening remarks, Ivan is sure he said the same thing yesterday.

"Very well, I see that you have all bought my complete set of works, I think we will take a small quiz today, maybe you already know some information from the senior students, but I have to regret to tell you that today's The test questions are completely different from yesterday." He handed out the test papers to everyone, "I'll give you three and ten minutes, start now!"

Ivan looked at the test paper in his hand, which included topics such as Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite food, Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest wish, and Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement so far. More than 50 channels.

Aiwen clutched his forehead weakly. In fact, he didn't know the answer to one of the questions. He didn't buy Lockhart's books at all.

But this is not important, he bit his quill pen and thought for a while, and began to write on the test paper.He was going to tell Lockhart about the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" and invited him to be the long-term publicity target of the "Character Style" column. Of course, Aiwen described this matter in the tone of an admirer.

On the test paper in hand, he tried to describe himself as a crazy admirer of Lockhart.

Although Ivan is not, it is very simple, because there are many people around him who can be used as reference.

He tried to imitate Hermione's tone as much as possible. In his description, "Hogwarts Magic News" is a newspaper dedicated to Lockhart himself. Ivan intends to use this newspaper to show Lockhart's book fans The photos and daily life of teaching at Hogwarts helped him further expand his influence.

Ai Wen spent a lot of pen and ink describing the benefits of doing so. By the time he finished writing the exaggerated and flattering letter at hand, exactly three or ten minutes had passed.

Afterwards, Lockhart put away the test paper and looked at it in front of the whole class.

"Tsk tsk, I'm disappointed, yes, none of you have written down everything about me like Miss Granger in the second grade, if you read the book "A Year with the Snowman in Tibet" carefully , you will know what my favorite food is, and I explicitly said it in Chapter 4 of "Walking with Ghouls"..."

Lockhart quickly flipped through the parchment in hand until he saw Ivan's one.

"Wait, here is an interesting test paper." He looked at it intently, and kept murmuring in a low voice, "Yes, this is exactly what I have always wanted to do, to further expand my influence and become the most admired Your wizard, very well said!"

In the classroom, all the students looked at him curiously.

Everyone didn't know what Lockhart was muttering, Vicky Frobisher, Ivan's roommate, a handsome boy was stretching his neck, trying to see the content of the test paper.

"Yes, I would!" Lockhart suddenly turned the paper over, "[-] points! Where is Mr. Evan Mason?"

Ai Wen stood up hurriedly, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Great, Ivan! I am very willing to share my story with my most loyal fans." Lockhart said with a smile, "Very good, [-] points for Gryffindor!"

When Ivan sat down again, Colin beside him asked in a low voice, "Ivan, it's incredible, what did you write on it?"

"It's nothing, I just invited him to provide us with a few photos, get your camera ready, Colin." Ivan said with a smile, "We will start taking pictures after class, we don't have much time."

Except for the initial episode, the rest of the time is relatively boring.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class has almost turned into a reading class. Lockhart asked the students to stand up and read his book one by one. When everyone got bored, it was time to end the get out of class.All the students left the classroom as quickly as possible, except for Aiwen, who dragged Colin, who was still a little confused, to the podium.

Lockhart greatly praised Ivan, and said that if any problems were encountered during the preparation of the newspaper, he could help at any time.

Knowing that the novel section has not received any manuscripts so far, Lockhart even expressed his willingness to serialize his unpublished manuscripts on it.

Next, Lockhart kept posing in various poses for Colin to shoot.

Ivan was surprised to find that no matter what angle he was at, Lockhart could show his charming eight teeth just right.

For this, Ivan admired him very much.

Due to time constraints, after taking more than a dozen photos, Ivan and Colin had to say goodbye, and Lockhart invited the two of them to his office after dinner to continue shooting.

Due to Lockhart's enthusiasm, they were 5 minutes late, and when Aiwen learned from Colin that the next session was Transfiguration, his heart sank.

Professor McGonagall is different from other professors. She is strict and smart. All the freshmen have been warned not to provoke her and Professor Snape as much as possible in school, because doing so will often end badly.

Now, they dared to be late for the first class, and Ai Wen didn't dare to think about it anymore.When the two ran outside the Transfiguration classroom, they saw a strangely dressed Ravenclaw girl standing outside the door.

The girl has disheveled, dirty, waist-length blond hair, very light eyebrows, and two protruding eyes, which make her always have a surprised expression, with a pair of carrot-shaped ears on her ears. Earrings, and a necklace made of butterbeer corks hung on his chest, and there was a kind of madness.

"What are you doing, it's time for class!" Colin asked uncertainly.

"I'm looking for the traces left by the Bubble Snot Monster." The girl said in a trance, her eyes resting on the open space outside the classroom door of the Transfiguration class.

"Sorry, what are you looking for?"

"Bubble Snot Monster." The girl raised her head, her eyes fixed on Ivan, "You are Ivan Mason."

"Yes, it's me, who are you?"

"Luna Lovegood." She turned her pale eyes to Colin, "I don't know who you are?"

Before Colin could answer, the classroom door was opened from the inside, and Professor McGonagall looked at the three of them seriously.

"Mr. Mason, Mr. Creevey, and Miss Lovegood, it's class time, and you're already late!" Her mouth was tightly pressed, "If you don't plan to come in, then never come in again .”

Ivan and Colin hurriedly lowered their heads and walked into the classroom, and Luna sat next to them.

"It's unlucky to meet Luna." Colin said in a low voice, "She is a freshman in Ravenclaw, everyone calls her a crazy girl, I heard that she actually believes in the existence of Bubble Snot Monster and Curved Horned Snork .”

"But they do exist." Luna interrupted suddenly.

"How is it possible, these are just fictions..."

"Keep your voice down, Colin!" Ivan poked him, "Also, don't express your opinion on things you don't know."

"A very wise choice." Luna said in a low voice, with a singing tone, "Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings."

Colin wanted to say something more, but when he saw Professor McGonagall staring at him fiercely, he quickly shut his mouth.

"Transfiguration is the most complicated and dangerous spell in your Hogwarts class. If anyone tries to play tricks on my class, I don't expect to see him in the next class. I warned you gone."

With that, Professor McGonagall turned her desk into a pig, and back again.

The students were all attracted and wished they could start learning immediately, but they soon realized that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

After everyone took a lot of complicated and difficult notes, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a match and began to let them try to become a needle.

For the little wizards who have just entered school, it is very difficult to do this, they can't even make any changes in the matches.It was not until the end of class that Aiwen turned the match head into a needle point, but he was still the fastest student in the class.

Ivan noticed that Professor McGonagall's mouth did not seem to be so tight.

Chapter 18 Alvin's Revenge

Even tougher than Transfiguration was Potions, all Gryffindor students agreed.

Deep in the basement, there is a cold Potions class classroom. Because of dealing with various potions all year round, the air here exudes a faint unpleasant smell. There are glass jars along the walls in the classroom, and the animal specimens soaked in it are even worse. Makes you shiver.

Even colder than the potions classroom was the face of Snape, the potions professor.As long as he stands there, no one in the class dares to speak.

In the first class, after mocking everyone, Snape called Ivan up, ready to give him a blow.

But Ivan was prepared, and he answered all the questions raised by the other party.

"Tut, tsk, another Mr. Know-it-all!" Snape pouted contemptuously.

That's right, this is the new nickname Ivan got from him after "The Follower of the Famous Savior", which matches Hermione's "Miss Know-It-All".

Snape still deducted one point for Ivan because his uniform was not neatly dressed, but after finding out that Ivan had almost memorized the entire "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" and "Magic Potions and Potions", He changed tactics.

He treats Ivan now just like he treats Hermione, that is, he doesn't care.

This made Ivan a lot more relaxed, but it was hard for him to be happy when he heard Snape constantly finding various reasons to deduct points from the Gryffindor students.

To be honest, Snape is still very capable.

For example, for a simple potion they are going to prepare today to treat scabies, the configuration steps on the blackboard in front of the classroom are different from those in the books. There is an extra step of cooking slugs with antennae.

Small changes to make potions heal better.

All the students present, except for Aiwen who had practiced preparing this potion before, the rest did not realize this.

Snape didn't specifically explain it, as if it wasn't something to make a fuss about, but Ivan knew how difficult it was. Every potion formula and configuration process recorded in "Magic Potions and Potions" is the best method that has been practiced thousands of times by countless potion masters.

That Snape could change it, even the most basic and simple potion, was a remarkable thing.

"As everyone said, Professor Snape is terrible." At dinner time, Colin hadn't recovered from the shadow of Potions class.

He looked terrified. If Ivan hadn't stopped him in time from putting the porcupine quills into the boiling pot, he might have to report to the school hospital now.Then again, if Snape hadn't been staring at him, he probably wouldn't have forgotten that.

He had been deducted two points for the blunder, and received an "idiot" comment from Snape.

"Colin, be happy, Professor Snape is just not good at expressing, he is still a good person." Ivan comforted him.

This sentence was heard by Ron who had just sat down, and he immediately stood up and said in surprise, "Oh my God, you are praising Snape, you can't be cursed by him, are you?!"

"I'm just telling the truth." Ivan ignored him, lowered his head and wiped out the pie in front of him.

"Hello, Harry!" Seeing Harry coming after him, Colin hurriedly stood up and said excitedly.

"Hello, Colin!" Harry replied helplessly. The other party seemed to have memorized his schedule. He had told him six or seven times today, but Colin still enjoyed it, as if it was the best time in the world. The most exciting thing.

Harry looked at Ai Wen with eyes asking for help, and Ai Wen could do nothing about this.

He couldn't stop Colin and Ginny from worshiping Harry any more than he could stop Hermione from worshiping Lockhart.

"By the way!" Thinking of this, Ivan turned to look at Hermione, "Professor Lockhart has agreed to help us, he invited me to visit his office after dinner, and promised to serialize his manuscript in the newspaper , seems to be a part of the book "Traveling with the Vampire" that has never been published."

"Really, Ivan!" Hermione looked very happy, "Is it tonight, can I go with you?"

"I think there should be no problem, but I have something to write tonight, you can go with Colin, remember to take more pictures and come back."

"Oh, I thought you'd figured out what that guy was after yesterday's terrible Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hermione!" muttered Ron, "He's just a liar who knows nothing."

"Nonsense!" Hermione glared at him, "You've all read his books, think about the amazing things he did..."

"It's just that he said he did."

The argument didn't last long. After dinner, Hermione and Colin went to Lockhart's office, and Harry and Ron agreed to go to the ghost "Nearly Headless Nick" in Gryffindor Castle and ask him to contact other ghosts , to provide news to newspapers.

Ivan originally planned to go with the two of them, but suddenly received a reply from Bathilda Bagshot, which recorded in detail the life of Harry's father and mother on the day Voldemort was defeated, including various details.

These are all first-hand historical materials, which have never appeared in any book.

Ivan didn't even have time to tell Harry about this, he returned to the lounge as fast as he could, read the letter back and forth several times in front of the familiar sofa by the fire, and then wrote it with trembling hands .

"Guardian of love, great mother Lily Potter!"

This is the topic he prepared. Ivan first briefly introduced Lily's life, including her outstanding performance at Hogwarts and her escape from Voldemort three times.

Immediately after the style of writing changed, he described Lily's last day of life in a slightly exaggerated but rigorous tone, as if he had witnessed everything that happened with his own eyes. detail.

Especially in the end, after James Potter failed in the duel and was killed by Voldemort, Lily begged Voldemort for Harry many times and was rejected many times, but she still struggled to protect Harry, and the article reached its peak here.

Ivan used a lot of provocative pen and ink to highlight Lily's greatness as a mother, her love for Harry, and the tragedy of the battle scene at that time. I believe that anyone, as long as they are not Death Eaters, can't help but shed tears when they see this .

Regarding the magic that Lily used last, Ivan briefly mentioned it.First of all, he didn't know what the spell was, and secondly, he couldn't be sure whether Dumbledore wanted it known, because Bathilda's reply didn't mention this paragraph.

Just like the rumors, after Voldemort killed Lily, he wanted to kill Harry again, but he failed, whether he was killed by a rebound spell or escaped, in short, he never appeared again.

The truth cannot be stated clearly, but this does not prevent Ivan from conceiving the details.

According to his description, after being cursed by Voldemort's death curse, Lily fell to the ground slowly, her hands were still firmly grasping Voldemort's robe, preventing him from going to Harry, and in her arms was a The round pendant has a family portrait of the Potter family on the front and a photo of her with a black-haired boy on the back.

The picture finally freezes here, and the full text ends.

Regarding this black-haired boy, Ivan wrote in full reference to Snape's appearance. As for whether he could be guessed who it was, that was not something he considered.

"Well, does this count as my revenge on Snape?" Ivan thought maliciously, "Hmph, since you dare to deduct my points, then I can't make you feel better!"

Chapter 19 Aiwen's Worries

The fire was burning quietly, and Aiwen wrote quickly. By the time the others came back, he had finished the article, and only some details needed to be revised.

"Ivan!" Hermione and Colin entered the common room first, and she ran over happily, "Great, we took enough photos and got the manuscript of his novel from Professor Lockhart, How are you doing here?"
