Reborn at Hogwarts

Ivan turned the parchment over, and sure enough, he saw lines of small characters that almost covered the entire back.

It's just that these words are not written in English, but in German, which is relatively small in comparison.

And the name Paracelsus made Ivan think of the famous alchemist in the Renaissance.

Phillips von Hohenheim.

Ivan didn't know much about his life story, but only knew some key information.

According to historical records, the alchemist who called himself "Paracelsus" had died in 1541.

But this letter mentioned the "duel with Dumbledore", so there is no doubt that the time when the letter was sent should be 1945 or earlier.

Could it be that he, like Nicole Flamel, successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone that can prolong life?

Then in 1945 without anyone knowing, he even supported Grindelwald in the wizard war, helping the other party improve a magic called "Avatar"...

Unfortunately, before the magic was completed, Grindelwald had already lost to Dumbledore in a duel and was imprisoned in Nurmengard.

The letter that Grindelwald put in the book was also sent to Vesemir's house along with the book, and it was finally discovered by Ivan after decades.

There may be some discrepancies in the details, but this should be the best guess to solve the truth at present.

Ivanzhen put away the parchment in a serious manner, then picked up the heavy tome, hesitated for a moment, then raised her magic wand to it, and said solemnly: "Reducio (speedy reduction) !"

As the spell was uttered, Ivan could feel a faint heat gushing out of his arm, quickly melting into the wand. With a flash of light from the tip of the wand, the magic book shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became only the size of Ivan's palm.

"Success!" Ivan couldn't help but burst into ecstasy.

When he was still a Squib, Ivan, who was unwilling to accept his fate, used to secretly cast spells with his parents' wand. He tried almost all the spells except the Unforgivable Curse, but none of them worked successfully. , not even the slightest reaction.

This shrinking spell can be said to be Ivan's first successful casting of a spell. It not only has extraordinary significance to him, but also allows him to finally confirm that he is a real wizard and is no longer nearly insulated from the magical world. Squibs gone.

After a moment of excitement, Ivan hid the magic book on his body and left the basement in a hurry.

He was going to buy a few reference books on German first, so that he could understand the contents on the back of the parchment.

He was very curious about this magic that Paracelsus thought could help Grindelwald win the battle.

...

In the following time, Ivan's life became a simple three-point line.

Get up at eight o'clock, go back to your room after breakfast, and read "Standard Spells" by Miranda Gosack and other various magical works.

After lunch, practice magic in the basement while making sure there are people in the house.

After dinner, go back to your room and start learning German.

so repeatedly.

These contents have almost become the whole of Ivan's life. After suddenly possessing magical abilities, he is like a person who has just escaped from a famine, eagerly absorbing all knowledge related to magic.

The appearance of him studying hard made Mrs. Vesemeer a little worried, and she persuaded Ivan more than once to combine work with rest and not spend all his time on study.

The result of the persuasion was that Ivan took part of his time before breakfast, running and exercising in the community.

"You're right, Mom." That's what Ivan said to Mrs. Vesemere at the time, "Study has indeed taken up too much of my time—I will exercise more from tomorrow to make sure I can't use it when I can't use it." In the case of magic, you can also win by surprise!"

After he finished speaking, he still waved his fist in a dignified way.

Seeing that Ivan has no intention of giving up, Mrs. Vesemir can only give up for the time being.

During this period of time, Hermione, who also developed a strong interest in magic, also came to visit from time to time. At this time, Mrs. Vesemir was very happy. She thought that a girl of the same age could distract Ivan from his endless studies. Not so hard.

But she didn't expect that Hermione's arrival did not improve the situation. Originally, only Ivan studied alone, but instead became two together.

Madam Vesemir finally realized that it was unrealistic to want to stop Ivan from studying.

Even put another pre-school age kid in it.

It made her feel very sorry for the Grangers.

But the Grangers didn't care about this, and were happy to see the result.

In fact, when Hermione first offered to play with the Vesemirs, they refused.

Although they maintain due respect and understanding for wizards in front of people, it has to be said that all this is due to their personal qualities.

Deep in their hearts, they still have fear and even hostility towards wizards.

However, the Grangers were not able to withstand their daughter's soft and hard words, and finally agreed to her request to go to the Vesemir's house, but they must obtain their consent in advance, and one of the couple must accompany them.

After several visits, and without knowing what the Vesemirs had talked with them, the Grangers gradually let go of their prejudice against wizards, and finally agreed with their daughter to go out alone.

Hermione was very happy about it.

But for Ivan, these are just insignificant episodes.

Right now, nothing is more important than learning knowledge and strengthening one's own strength.

After all, I only learned one year earlier than Harry Potter, and I was very likely to be involved in the war among wizards.

If there is not enough self-protection ability, the biggest possibility is to become cannon fodder.

In this way, the time gradually came to August of 1990.
