Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 39 Dead End?

Even after reading many books on spells in the Hogwarts library, the "incarnation" jointly developed by Grindelwald and Paracelsus is still the most convenient magic in Ivan's mind.

There is no need for cumbersome incantations, and there is no need to memorize a specific swing range. When casting a spell, you only need to mobilize the magic power in your body, and you can change your shape at will.

It is really a must-have magic for home travel and escape.

It's a pity that because Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore, the development of magic was stuck at the most critical stage, and there are still fatal flaws today.

When he saw Argus Filch who had been controlled at the corner of the castle stairs, Ivan knew that his way to Dumbledore for help had been cut off.

So he stopped on the spot for a while, and after confirming that the other party's target was indeed a Horcrux...he simply turned around and jumped down the stairs.

As a school exclusively for wizards, Hogwarts should have many special features, and the stairs are no exception.

There are a total of one hundred and forty-two stairs in Hogwarts. Some of them are wide and big, some are narrow and small and rickety, and they lead to different places.

The only thing they have in common is that they move every moment, changing the floor they lead to at any time.

Ivan knew very well that if he still took the stairs to reach his destination when he was being chased by the enemy, he might be sent to some inexplicable place before he could tell the direction.

The most correct escape route is to jump directly from the building. Anyway, you can change your form before landing, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt.

It also happened to be faster to find Snape.

If someone was watching nearby at this moment, he could see a little boy in pajamas and messy clothes, dexterously climbed over the stairs, and jumped down directly.

Just as he was about to fall to the ground, the boy's body twisted suddenly, and he fell to the ground, instantly turning into a piece of loose sand.

The khaki-colored gravel rolled far away on the cold ground of the castle, rolled and gathered together again as if pulled by some kind of force, and turned back into the appearance of a boy.

After his figure solidified again, Ivan turned his head and glanced at the high stairs, but found no trace of "Filch".

The other party seems to have given up... No, it is more likely that the other party did not catch up directly without thinking, but chose other ways.

Let's run quickly... Ivan didn't stay any longer, quickly identified the direction, and ran to the castle dungeon.

However, when he just ran to the entrance of the castle dungeon, he saw a familiar figure standing on the stairs impressively.

"Professor Searles?" Ivan stopped with difficulty and looked at him in astonishment.

At this time, Sells, unlike in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, did not have the slightest trace of expression in his eyes, and his eyes were empty like a puppet.

He just stood silently on the stairs, not holding a wand in his hand, but Ivan keenly saw a stick in his pocket.

"Professor Searles, you—"

Just as Ivan spoke, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Under the gaze of Ivan's unbelievable eyes, the castle administrator carrying an oil lamp walked briskly out of the wall.

"...I won't ask where you learned the 'incarnation technique'." "Filch" said with a sneer, his voice hoarse and weird, "You won't tell me anyway. Now, take the Horcrux Take it out of the pouch around your neck."

"Why don't you get it yourself?" In front of him was Argus Filch, the castle administrator who was controlled by a stranger and possessed the ability to cast spells, and behind him was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Instead, Ivan relaxed and asked "Filch" instead.

"Nonsense, do you think I can't see what the skin is made of?" "Filch" held up three fingers, "Don't try to delay time, I'll count to three, don't you kill Grindelwald's soul?" Just wait for me to take the bag away. Three, two..."

Grindelwald's Horcrux?

Hearing this, Ivan was startled.

Why does it feel like there is a bit of a misunderstanding here... When did Grindelwald have such a Horcrux?

As the initiator of the Wizarding Wars and the original Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald has always been a controversial person.

You can disapprove of his ideas and behaviors, but you have to admit that he is a very charismatic person, and he is not as extremely afraid of death as Voldemort.

After learning how to become an incarnation, Ivan once found some articles related to Grindelwald. To his surprise, almost all the writers held such a point of view: If his death can achieve the ultimate goal, then Grindelwald undoubtedly embraces death with equanimity, even joy.

From this point of view, achieving so-called immortality through Horcruxes is a method that people like Grindelwald will never try.

But Ivan didn't mean to explain either.

A horcrux, a prop made with extremely evil black magic, is not a courier package, which can be disassembled to verify its authenticity. When the hidden soul in it does not respond, I want to confirm that the owner of the horcrux is a person. An extremely difficult thing.

Ivan felt that just because he kept Tom Riddle in his pocket for so long, he would not be willing to cooperate when he found out that he was being hunted down, and maybe he would pretend that he was really Grindelwald's Horcrux Come to add insult to injury...

There is no way to escape, so is it possible to really tell the whereabouts of the Horcrux?

Ivan gritted his teeth, ready to speak.

At this time, a strange idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

Professor Searles standing behind him... why is there no sound of breathing?

"...One." At this moment, "Filch" pressed the last finger.

"Unfortunately, my child." He shook his head, raised his wand and pointed it at Ivan, "Dizzy—"

Almost at the moment when the spell came out, Ivan rushed out.

To the surprise of "Filch", he didn't come towards him, and he didn't try to escape to the left and right sides where no one was around. Instead, he turned around and slammed into Serge who was standing on the stairs. s.

Sells didn't seem to have reacted, he watched Ivan rushing towards him in a daze, but still stood there motionless until he was knocked down by Ivan and rolled on the stairs, heavily He fell on the landing between the two flights of stairs.

Ivan quickly reached out to touch the wall and activated the "Avatar Technique".

When he was about to merge into the wall, he took a last look at Professor Searles who fell to the ground.

As he fell, something black fell out of his pocket.

It is a neatly trimmed branch.

The plot of the protagonist's first grade will end as soon as possible, within ten chapters if nothing unexpected happens. There are also some small foreshadowings, such as why Ivan cares so much about Horcruxes, some detailed explanations and limitations of "Avatar", etc., will be released in subsequent chapters.

How should I put it, there is no guarantee that everyone will feel that the logic is self-consistent, so I promise not to lower my intelligence deliberately, so that the development of the plot is as reasonable and convincing as possible (laughs)
