016-Flight Lessons (Part 3)

"Petrificus Totalus~"

As the petrification spell was cast by Ivan, a gray-white light beam shot from Ivan's wand and flew towards Malfoy in the distance.

In mid-air, the proud Malfoy did not expect Ivan's movements at all. He was hit square in the chest by the petrification curse, his original white skin turned into a stiff gray in less than half a second, his expression, and action also stayed the same at the moment of being petrified.

In this state, Malfoy couldn't even move a finger, let alone manipulate the broom under him, and he immediately fell straight from the sky. Of course, even though the body was petrified, Malfoy's consciousness was still intact. But given that if he had a choice, Malfoy would prefer to know nothing.

After all, falling from a high altitude and watching the ground getting closer and closer, the feeling of getting closer to one's death was enough to make anyone's mentality collapse, if it weren't for his petrified state, he would have started to scream in terror.

The moment Ivan hit Malfoy with the Petrification Charm, he turned to face Hermione.

"Hermione, your turn!"

The clever little witch understood Ivan's plan the moment Ivan cast the spell, but now Hermione obviously has no time to blame Ivan anymore. She only had time to glare at Ivan and then she shouted...

"Wingardium Leviosa~"

At this time, Malfoy had been horrified to the extreme, imagining in his mind how he will be smashed into several pieces in a petrified state. Malfoy even thought of how his father would torture Ivan, Harry, and others to avenge him after he died.

Just when Malfoy was thinking that the Malfoy family will likely decline due to his unfortunate death, his rapidly falling body stopped abruptly when it was only ten centimeters above the ground, Malfoy could clearly see the grass on the floor he was soo close.

Hermione sighed in relief, she had successfully cast the spell in an emergency, and Ivan quietly put down his wand.

"Malfoy..." When Malfoy landed steadily, the students of Slytherin house immediately surrounded him.

The students at Gryffindor Academy were gloating, after all, Malfoy's pretentious appearance was really annoying. The only one who was dissatisfied with him was Hermione.

"Ivan, how can you use the Petrification Curse on Malfoy... You know, you almost killed him!" Hermione glared at Ivan angrily, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Your Levitation spell is very good. If Professor Flitwick sees it, he would have definitely given you extra points." Ivan smiled.

Of course, Malfoy wouldn't die just because of one of his petrification spells. At best, he would have suffered a little bit. Even if Hermione had failed to cast the spell, wasn't he still here as insurance?

"Yeah... maybe Professor Flitwick will expel you!" Hermione said in an angry voice.

Would he? Ivan scratched his head, thinking that some points would probably be deducted. At most, scrubbing the trophy cabinet or a night tour of the Forbidden Forest?

If it's the latter, Ivan thought that would have been pretty good...

Of course, Ivan is definitely not going to go to the Forbidden Forest this semester, nor is he trying to die.

After all, Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, often likes to wander around in the forbidden forest. God knows when he could run into bad luck...

So it's better to stay inside. If you don't take the initiative to die, Hogwarts is still safe before the fourth year.

Ivan recalled his unreliable system, after four years, coupled with the fact that he had a system and he knows the future, he should have the ability to save his own life, right?

As Ivan thought, he walked towards Malfoy.

Halfway through, he was stopped by a few Slytherin students. The leader was a Slytherin Ivan who barely had some impressions and seemed to be called Blaise Zabini.

"Halls, what are you doing here?" Blaise frowned, clasping the wand in his hand.

In the face of foreign enemies, Slytherin house is still very united. Although Malfoy usually looks arrogant, there are still many students who are willing to stand up and defend Malfoy, and a group of people vaguely surround Ivan.

Not to mention Gryffindor's righteous little lions, standing behind Ivan one after another, both sides drew out their wands... even though their beginner magic may not be effective.

Ivan shook his head, raised his hand to stop Ron who was about to roll up his sleeves, and said to Blaise.

"I'm here to help Malfoy lift the Petrification Curse. I believe you can clearly see the situation just now. Malfoy picked the fight first..."

Blaise hesitated, but after thinking about it, he motioned everyone to leave. Ivan countered the petrification curse on Malfoy.

Malfoy had just experienced big ups and downs, his calves were still trembling, but in order not to save his reputation in front of everyone, he climbed up rigidly from the ground, and screamed at Ivan.

"How dare you cast a spell on me! You're done, Halls!"

"Really?" Ivan looked at Draco Malfoy. "What if I tell the professor about your stealing of Neville's crystal ball and flying without permission?"

Ivan approached Malfoy step by step, and his tone suddenly became serious.

"I heard that Filch likes to take disobedient students to his office, tie their hands with chains and hang them from the ceiling, and then use whips and sticks to do strange things... ."

Malfoy was frightened for a while because there was indeed such a rumor among the senior students of the school. He even forgot that even if this was true, Ivan who violated the school rules would have to enjoy the same treatment as him.

Ivan was ready to make more effort when he saw the effect was good, but before he could speak, he heard Madam Hooch's voice coming from behind him.

"You guys... how dare you!"

Mrs. Hodge, who rushed back in time after sending Neville to the infirmary, saw Malfoy falling from the sky halfway down the road, and now Gryffindor and the students of Slytherin house are always arrogant suddenly look angry.

Especially Harry, who was holding the crystal ball, just came down from the sky on the broomstick with a blank face, which made Mrs. Hooch even angrier.

Ivan reluctantly covered his face with his hands. He hadn't even calculated that Mrs. Hooch would come back this quickly. He still wanted to have a good talk with Malfoy. If he talks Ivan was afraid he would lose some academic points...

Thinking about it carefully, Ivan found that it seemed that he had put himself in this position. If he hadn't saved Neville with the Levitating Charm before, Mrs. Hodge would still be worried about Neville in the medical room.
