021 - Meeting Fluffy

The book also recorded the successful family entries, Ivan saw the Dumbledore family name, which surprised him initially. But after a while, Ivan remembered Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes and the legend about Dumbledore's family in the movie the Crimes of Grindelwald.

[...According to legend, a phoenix will appear to anyone of the Dumbledore Family in dire need....]

Ivan wondered if this was due to their fusion with the blood of a Phoenix.

Of course, according to the book's records, the Dumbledore family was a relatively moderate group, they even obtained the consent of the other party before conducting the fusion experiment. This was probably the reason why the relationship between the Phoenix and the Dumbledore family was so close.

"Well? Why is the book torn?" Ivan was reading the book with interest, but when the fusion method was about to be described at the end of the book, it suddenly stopped, several pages were forcibly torn off from the book. The rest of the content was not of much use.

Just as Ivan was confused that the so-called reward was just some information, the system prompt sounded again.

["The Origin of Bloodlines" has been read, the challenge task has been activated.

Challenge task: defeat (or kill) trolls

Reward: Blood Vessel Fusion Potion Formula]

"Challenge task..." Ivan was stunned. He thought the system was just a learning crutch, he didn't expect that there would be a scenario for killing monsters.

Ivan was even more curious about who actually hid this book here, and even set up a confundus spell and then hidden behind a concealing spell in the restricted section.

Dumbledore was the first one that popped in Ivan's mind, the greatest wizard of the century, he had the authority and reason to hide "Origin of Bloodlines". After all, blood fusion was extremely dangerous. Therefore, the number of people who died were a dozen times more than the ones who survived. This terrifying death rate prevents wizards who possess a special bloodline from becoming the mainstream of wizards.

In addition, James Potter, Sirius, and other marauders were also possible suspects, after all, hiding important items was in line with their style.

There is also Tom Marvolo Riddle or Voldemort who once stayed at Hogwarts...

All kinds of guesses flashed through Ivan's mind one by one, but Ivan didn't think about it much longer. There were too many things that happened tonight. Even in the face of a large number of restricted books, Ivan didn't even have the thought of sneaking a peak.

On the way back, Ivan focused on the newly activated challenge task.

Seeing that the target was a troll, Ivan felt a headache incoming, he was not underestimating the troll just because Harry and Ron defeated one in the original book.

They were just able to win, because of multiple coinciding factors. If it hadn't been for Harry's savior luck, their bodies would have gone cold by the time the professors arrived.

Judging from the information obtained by Ivan from reading books, trolls were not easy to deal with. They were huge, powerful, and have a certain resistance to magic. Even an adult wizard must be careful when confronting them.

Ivan sighed. If he hadn't learned from "Origin of Bloodlines" that fusing the blood of magical creatures can improve someone's magical talents, he would not even think about facing such a monster in his first year.

Ivan walked through the silent castle, and the smoothness of his previous journey made Ivan a little less vigilant.

But not long after walking out of a hidden passage, a blue, fast-traveling light suddenly collided with Ivan.

As if his whole body was immersed in ice water, Ivan shuddered all over, turning his head to look over he realized that it was an ugly ghost wearing a shabby hat... Peeves the Poltergist.

Peeves was even more excited, he began clapping his hands and shouted in a loud voice.

"Look, come here see what I found? Another student, come on! There is one more here!"

"Petrificus Totalus~" Ivan's immediately cast the certification cure.

The blue light hit Peeves's chest accurately, but the latter was only repelled a little, he smiled happily and said, "Hahaha... it's useless, you can't hurt me!" Peeves triumphantly circled Ivan.

Seeing that ordinary magic was useless for Peeves, Ivan was not discouraged, because ghosts were not immune to all kinds of magic, and it just so happens that he has a trick up his sleeve.

"ecce formido~"

Peeves was arrogantly making faces in front of Ivan, a purple light shot from the top of Ivan's wand and struck him again, but this time Peeves face immediately changed he fled and screamed into a classroom in the distance. Ivan who was far away could still hear Pippi's sharp yelling.

"No, Barrow, let me go, I swear I didn't do anything bad! And Nick put down your axe first, we can talk about it..."

Seeing Peeves's reaction, Ivan nodded in satisfaction, and called up the magic tab of the system to take a look, and found that the Fear Curse had reached the second level, no wonder the effect was so good.

After dealing with the annoying ghost, he heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, and then Ivan remembered what Peees had said before, that he had discovered another student.

It was too late just as Ivan was about to re-enter the secret passage, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville rushed out in front of Ivan.

Harry and the others didn't expect to meet Ivan here, but it was obviously not the time to say things. Harry was stunned for less than a second before taking the lead in pulling Ivan's arm and running together.

"Ivan, run! There is no time to explain, Filch is behind us!"

Ivan couldn't even say a few words about the secret passage behind him, as Harry dragged him into another hallway and had to run with him.

Ivan faintly felt that this scene was a bit familiar as he ran until Harry took the lead and stepped into the forbidden corridor on the Third floor before Ivan realized what was wrong.

"Quick... come in, Filch is coming!" Harry and Neville pulled in Ivan, who didn't want to go in. Hermione closed the door. It was rare for Ron to do something, he stepped forwards and locked the door hard.

"Now Filch won't be able to come in." Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I'm more worried that we can't get out," Ivan muttered to himself as he looked at the locked door, and then sighed as he looked deep into the corridor.

"What you think it's better to go out and face Filch?..."

Harry didn't understand Ivan's meaning, but soon felt something sticky on his shoulders. Turning his head he looked over, he found three huge heads were looking at him, there was a stench coming from his open mouth. From time to time, yellow muddy saliva fell from the edge of his big mouth, and some had splashed on his clothes.

"Ah~" In the next second, Hermione and the others also saw the three-headed dog, and the cry of fear suddenly tore the peace of the night...
