042- Howler

Ivan also received ten gold galleons from Harry. Ivan was puzzled at first, but then after thinking about it, he realized that it should be because Harry thought he was still short of money.

Since it was a gift, Ivan finally accepted it as insurance.

Among the remaining gifts, there were Hermione's notes, which contained all the notes that Hermione had recorded during class since the beginning of the school year. That tome was as thick as a book.

Ivan smiled as there were two round, unidentified objects, sent by the Weasley brothers, there was no explanation, but as Ivan looked at them they looked like dung bombs from the original book.

Ron gave him a bag of cheap candies "I didn't know you would give me such a gift. I thought it would be a bag of candy." Ron, who was playing his new wizard chess with Harry, noticed Ivan's movements, and his freckled face had flushed red and he stammered.

"It's nothing, the candy is also a very good gift, enough for me to eat for a few days." Ivan waved his hand quickly, saying that he didn't care, it was just like other high-quality gifts.

"And the candies you gave Ron are also delicious." Harry opened the same style of candies from Ron's side of the table, took out one, and threw it into his mouth, but his complexion changed slightly when he bit it down, but he still smiled happily.

After being comforted by the two, Ron calmed down from this embarrassing situation.

What could he do, Mrs. Weasley had only given him two silver coins as pocket money before he went to school.

After comforting Ron's fragile heart, Ivan turned his attention to the last gift. The most important thing was that this was a Christmas gift from his mother, Elisia.

It was a gleaming crescent-shaped pendant along with a bright red envelope. The style looked different from other letters, and it started moving when Ivan realized that something was wrong.

This was a Howler!

Sure enough, in the next second, the letter flew into the air and shouted loudly.

"Ivan Halls!"

"Who allowed you to sign an application to stay in school without permission? you didn't even ask for permission before Christmas! I waited for you at the station for five hours... five hours! If it weren't for me sending a letter to your damn principal, I almost thought you were missing or dead in Hogwarts..."

The sharp high pitched notes kept reverberating in the small dormitory room. Even if Ivan lifted up his robes and covered his ears, it didn't have much effect, because these sounds seemed to have magical powers and couldn't be blocked at all.

The screams lasted for half an hour, and the whole letter contained scratching scolding and bitter remarks for Ivan. Finally, it warned Ivan to wear the crescent-shaped pendant at all times.

Harry and Ron were also frightened by the Howler when the screams finally disappeared, Ron rubbed his ears and almost thought he was deaf.

"Ivan, who sent you this howler? The voice was so loud, almost like my mother." Ron asked.

"Of course that was my mother." Ivan sighed helplessly. He now realized that when he felt that he had forgotten something before, it turned out that he had forgotten to send a letter to his never-before-seen mother Elisia for Christmas.

But this can't be blamed on him, after all, he still felt guilty about taking over Ivan, so how could he actively contact his mother.

"Is your mother not kind to you? like my uncle's family?" Harry asked sympathetically. In his opinion, he would even stay in school for Halloween.

"It's just a little fight nothing so exaggerated." Ivan shook his head, he can't even figure it out himself. While learning Occlumency, Ivan has been able to slowly organize the memories remaining in his brain. Although it was not complete, has gained a lot of valuable information.

For example, his home was in a dark magic shop in Knockturn Alley. The owner was his mother, Elisia Halls, someone who could survive in the chaotic Knockturn Alley with a child, and can live well, there was no doubt that she was a dark wizard.

In addition to her not-so-weak black magic skills, Elisia also makes all kinds of powerful or weird black magic objects...

Yes, it was a black magic item...not a normal magic item shop, in the words of Elisia Halls, 'in Knockturn Alley, normal things can't be sold...Only by selling the dark and cursed objects can we survive'...

Ivan has also learned slowly where the magic items he brought with him, in the beginning, came from.

As for his father, in Ivan's memory, Elisia hardly ever mentioned him, she even got annoyed by his questions...

But Ivan's memories of the friends of his mother Elisia weren't clear.

The only thing Ivan that calmed Ivan was that in his memory, Elisia's hands and wrists were as pale as ice, and there was no dark mark on her, which means she was not from Voldemort's side.

But even so, her identity as a dark wizard was still clear...

Ivan looked at the crescent-shaped pendant on the table with some anxiety, wondering if there was some dark magic in it, and he would be punished or something.

Anyway, his mother shouldn't be so angry, right?

Ivan swallowed, and finally guessed that it should be a tracker...so that she can determine his location...

Ivan guessed, and then touched the necklace and looked at the magic inventory of the system. Since knowing its amazing analysis power, this inventory has long been used by Ivan as an authenticator.

Ivan stood silently in place for a long time, and finally sighed and hung the meniscus-shaped pendant around his neck...
