Reborn at Hogwarts

Ivan stared at the location where "Paparacelsus" disappeared on the Marauder's map for a while, then put the map away.

The previous note was completely invalid the moment the name appeared, but Ivan did not throw it away, but tore it from the notebook and put it in his pocket.

At present, there is no evidence that Paracelsus was the only intruder in the castle. Ivan felt that he should save the names of these "suspicious characters", maybe they could be used later.

At this time, Ivan noticed that the small black spot that disappeared appeared again.

It still bears the name of "Philips Hohenheim (Paracelsus)", but instead of walking in a hurry, it has sped up its pace and left the castle almost in the blink of an eye eighth floor.

Ivan stared at the little black dot intently, watching it quickly go down the seventh, sixth, and fifth floors...and then disappeared abruptly.

This time Ivan waited for a long time but did not wait for him to appear. Paracelsus seemed to have left Hogwarts in some way and went to another place. It wasn't until Dean's excited yelling came from the corridor that Ivan put away the Marauder's Map worriedly.

Of course, he still pretended to be very good on the surface, and he didn't show his extremely bad mood.

"...Let me tell you, Professor Searles is really unlucky." When Atwood pushed the door in, he was still talking about the game just now, "How could there be such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, it makes people wonder if he has been cursed." Eddie nodded in agreement.

"Professor Searles? What happened to him?" Ivan asked curiously.

In fact, he was very nervous... But on the surface, as an excellent actor, he sat by the bed with a book in his hand, and asked questions without raising his head, with a very casual tone.

It's as if I heard my roommate chatting and inserted a sentence casually.

"It's a pity that you didn't go to the game." Ralph Kamen sat next to Ivan, and said to him regretfully, "Professor Searles is too unlucky today."

"He went to the Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin match today," Dean went on. "Oh—that was awful. First got hit on the head by the Bludger, and then the Snitch got in his ass." In the mouth, Oliver Wood of Gryffindor accidentally hit his hand with a broom."

"He left in a hurry before the game was over, saying that he had something urgent to deal with." Eddie shrugged, "Everyone knows that he left because he was afraid of being hit by something inexplicable again, but they didn't expose him. After all He's a professor, and my mother said to respect professors."

"Leaving before the game is over?" Ivan asked casually, "You guys just came back now, the two teams should have just finished the game, right? When did Professor Searles leave?"

"About twenty minutes ago." Eddie said uncertainly, "Almost, I didn't care much about where he went... Yes! It was twenty minutes! I remembered! After he left, no one was hurt Yes, I remember it clearly!"

twenty minutes?

Ivan had a guess in his mind.

It was about the same time that "Paracelsus" appeared in the castle. The difference between before and after is five minutes at most.

From this point of view... This Professor Searles can basically be equated with the alchemist who appeared in the castle.

In this way, many speculations and judgments derived from the fact that "Professor Searles is controlled by a mysterious wizard" are completely invalid.

Now Ivan is 90% sure that Sels and Paracelsus are the same person, and this professor who joined Hogwarts this year is also manipulating Filch and Eddie to try to get rid of him. The mysterious wizard who took the Horcrux in his hand!

The remaining 10% is the escape route he left for himself.

At present, the basic context is clear, but there are still a few points that are unclear and need to be confirmed.

In Ivan's view, the most important point is undoubtedly whether Dumbledore knows the true identity of Sells.

Whether Dumbledore knows about it directly determines the implementation of Ivan's follow-up plan.

Thinking of this, Ivan was no longer in the mood to continue discussing the Quidditch match with his roommates. He found an excuse to leave the dormitory, and then walked out of the Ravenclaw lounge.

He was going to find Zoe to confirm Dumbledore's thoughts.

...

Hiding in an unoccupied corner, Ivan opened the Marauder's Map.

The little black dot representing "Zoe Benson" has left the principal's office and is walking towards Ravenclaw Tower quickly.

After confirming her location, Ivan tapped the map with his wand and whispered, "The prank is over!" It turned into a blank piece of paper again, allowing Ivan to stuff it back into his pocket.

After roughly estimating Zoe's speed, Ivan was going to wait for her at the door, so that it would be convenient for the two of them to find a quiet place to communicate later.

While he was waiting for Zooey...

A pair of pitch-black hands stretched out from behind Ivan silently.

These hands seemed to grow on the wall, and they didn't make any sound when they appeared. They stretched out in a very strange posture, and stretched towards Ivan who was standing not far away.

Just when these arms were about to touch the corners of Ivan's clothes, Ivan seemed to notice something, took a step forward, and turned his head to look at it at the same time.

"Fuck!"

A weird scene came into view, and Ivan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

About one step away from him, the black arm was twisting and twitching crazily like a drowning person calling for help, and even made a few grasping movements.

Ivan immediately retreated far away, and stopped when he was about ten meters away, staring at the arms cautiously.

Struggling in the air in vain for a moment, the black arm finally seemed to realize that the target had escaped, and then reluctantly gave up the twitching, and quickly shrank back towards the wall.

Just when Ivan thought that the other party was about to leave... Both arms stopped suddenly, then shook twice in unison, and gave him a middle finger, and then disappeared completely.

"..."

Ivan stared blankly at the place where the arm disappeared.

This is the end?

What do the two middle fingers mean? Are you upset because you didn't succeed?

It feels quite personal...

But no matter what, Ivan didn't dare to stay here any longer.

God knows where those weird black arms will come from again.

He quickened his pace and left Ravenclaw Tower in a hurry.
