Chapter 789 You Cruelly Broke It
Three days passed in an instant, during which time no third package was sent.
However, Ivan already has some guesses about the person who sent the package, but he has not yet figured out the other person's motives for doing so.
At noon on Thursday, after having a meal in the Great Hall, Ivan focused his attention on the Slytherin table and considered whether to find an opportunity to stop the other party and ask him properly.
Just as he was thinking this, Harry and Ron, who had returned to the dormitory earlier, hurried over, pulled Ivan and gasped.
"No, Ivan, go over and have a look!"
Seeing the surprised look of the two people, Ivan couldn't help but be a little curious, and immediately followed them.
When he arrived in the lounge, Ivan found that the little wizards of Gryffindor were gathering around the bulletin board, where a new notice was posted.
[Order of the High Inquisitor of Hogwarts:
All student organizations, associations, teams or clubs are hereby disbanded.
…
Students found to form or join any organization, association, team or club without the approval of the Senior Ombudsman will be immediately expelled. 】
After reading the contents of the notice, Ivan's expression remained calm.
Obviously this announcement was aimed at him, but he had anticipated this when he was setting up the Defense Against the Dark Arts Association.
Harry and Ron on the side were worried, and they both looked at Ivan and asked.
"What should we do now? Ivan?" "Should we stop the rally temporarily?"
"No, everything is as usual...just do whatever you have to do!" Ivan shook his head and replied casually.
Harry and Ron looked at each other confused, not quite understanding what Ivan meant. Umbridge obviously wanted to take action against them by issuing this announcement. The best way now is to temporarily cancel large-scale gatherings and wait until the news comes. Let’s talk later.
After all, "Education Order No. 24" clearly stated that if Umbridge caught them, they would definitely be expelled.
"Don't worry, don't worry too much. If something happens, I will be responsible for solving it." Ivan patted the two of them on the shoulders, said a few words of comfort, and then went straight back to the dormitory.
Due to the new announcement, the little wizards all gathered in the lounge. There was no one in the dormitory. Ivan took advantage of the lunch break to sit on the bedside and open a dark compartment in the drawer to take out the crown placed inside. He came out and looked at it carefully.
Three years ago, in the decisive battle in the Chamber of Secrets, he used the basilisk's fangs to destroy this Ravenclaw relic, and now you can still vaguely see the dense cracks on the crown.
[Magic Item: Ravenclaw's Diadem
Special status: damaged
Explanation: This is a relic left by Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts, which can increase the wisdom of the wearer.
Note: You broke it cruelly...]
Looking at the notes in the inventory, the corners of Ivan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Ravenclaw's crown had long been tainted by Voldemort, and he should have helped it escape from its misery.
How can you say cruel?
Ivan complained silently in his heart, but the increasing wisdom in the system description made him very interested.
Rumor has it that Ravenclaw's crown does have a similar function, and Helena stole it in order to gain wisdom beyond her mother's.
"Strange, if the crown is so magical, why would Voldemort be willing to make it into a Horcrux?" Ivan gently touched the inscription on the crown, somewhat puzzled.
He had always thought that the rumor that the crown increased wisdom was just a fable - for example, Rowena Ravenclaw hoped that people would discover that it was not the crown but herself that could really give people wisdom.
However, after sorting out the manuscripts left by Ravenclaw in the past two days, Ivan overturned this guess. The systematic explanation is another kind of testimony.
But no matter what, he has no intention of returning this thing to Helena until he repairs it and understands the power of the crown...
Pa~
In the quiet boys' dormitory, a slight snap of fingers rang out.
The first time he heard the sound, Ivan took out his wand and pointed it at it. There was now a short figure in the open space next to him.
"More than?"
After seeing the person clearly, Ivan put away the wand, and then asked curiously. "Did my mother ask you to come here? How is Knockturn Alley going now? Is the situation there okay?"
"The situation is very bad, sir. Recently, the Ministry of Magic has suddenly stepped up its search of Knockturn Alley. Mrs. Hals suspects that a mysterious person is infiltrating the Ministry of Magic... In addition, due to censorship, the business in the wizarding market has been reduced. Forced to stop..."
Dobby's ears drooped and he spoke in a high-pitched voice about the troubles he had encountered in Knockturn Alley over the past two months. From time to time, he also muttered about "bad minister" and "bad Auror".
Listening to Dobby's words, Ivan couldn't help but frown.
After the wizard market was captured last year, a large amount of money seized was reinvested in the operation of the wizard market.
Now, more than a year has passed, and the wizarding market has finally gained some momentum and is making money, but it has to suspend operations due to the review of the Ministry of Magic. How can Ivan not feel uncomfortable?
Of course, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of shortage of funds. Whether it is supporting law enforcement or wooing officials from the Ministry of Magic, money is indispensable.
"Fortunately, there is a magic stone..." Ivan thought in his heart, his frown gradually relaxed, he looked at Dobby and said.
"Don't worry about the funds. When you go back, ask your mother to report the number, and I will give you the same amount of gold and magic metals.
You then give these things to Rozier and the others, and ask those pure-blood families to give them enough gold Galleons in exchange. "
The magic stone can transform materials. Naturally, it not only has the function of turning stone into gold. In fact, most metals can be created directly by consuming magic power.
Although this is a bit of a waste of magic power, now is an extraordinary period and there is no need to worry about so much.
The only trouble is how to exchange these gold and magic metals into corresponding gold galleons without attracting the attention of the Ministry of Magic.
Although Gringotts is a good place, even if he conjures up a mountain of gold, the other party can eat it, but after all, there are many spies from the Ministry of Magic there, and the goblin's credibility is also very problematic, and he may turn around and sell you out. .
At this time, the role of those pure-blood families who surrendered became apparent.
Even though Rozier and others had been severely blackmailed by him once, with each family paying tens of thousands of galleons in admission fees, he did not believe that pure-blood families only had that little background.
Due to feelings, he couldn't forcefully expropriate the other party's property, but it would be okay to exchange it, right?
