Chapter 926 The New Professor at Hogwarts
The sun was covered by dark clouds a moment ago, but now it became clear and clear in an instant. Harry, Ron and others looked surprised.
"Could it be that you and Professor Trelawney learned the art of prophecy?" Ron asked in surprise. He did not associate this weird celestial phenomenon with Ivan. After all, in his impression, even it was magic. You can't do something so outrageous.
"It would be great if I could learn the art of prophecy..." Ivan rolled his eyes. Prediction is definitely one of the abilities he wants to get the most, but unfortunately, this thing cannot be learned by relying entirely on talent, even if he uses academic points. Nope either.
After chatting with Harry and Ron for a while, Ivan opened the system bar and checked his current status.

After merging the blood of Thunderbird, his overall strength has improved a lot. In fact, the most obvious thing is that the magic scale has exceeded 400 points, which is equivalent to four times the total amount of magic power of an adult wizard, which is already very sufficient.
Now even without relying on the magic stone, Ivan can easily use various powerful spells without having to worry about running out of magic power midway.
Secondly, of course, the Transfiguration Technique was the first to break through to the eighth level. This was probably related to the characteristics of the Thunderbird. He had learned from Ollivander before that wands made of Thunderbird feathers could usually amplify the wizard's transformation magic.
After the successful breakthrough, Ivan clearly felt that he was becoming more and more comfortable in using the transformation spell. There was a vague feeling that his skills were close to Taoism. The transformed creature was no different from the real creature before the magic dissipated.
If he could go one step further, he might be able to truly change the nature of an object like the Philosopher's Stone.
As for the last and most important gain, that is the new bloodline magic to control the sky. He had previously controlled the power of storm and lightning when he fought with Grindelwald in the tomb.
After these days of exploration, Ivan discovered that he could also use magic to change the weather in an area, even covering an entire city.
Ivan has not yet thought of a more specific use, he only considers whether he can create celestial phenomena that are beneficial to him during battle and increase the power of some magic spells.
The train moved forward and stopped at the platform around evening. Ivan and his group followed the flow of people and got off the train. As usual, they staggered towards the castle in the carriage pulled by the Yeqi.
"Who do you think will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year?" Harry asked curiously.
"No matter who it is, it will definitely be unlucky this year..." Ron said with a sense of schadenfreude. Since they entered school, the professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class have all suffered a very disastrous fate, and the only one who is better, Lupin, has also not done well. He was exposed by Snape after being able to survive for a year.
Thinking of this, Ron suddenly seemed to realize something and turned his head to look at Ivan. "Could you be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year, Ivan?"
"Of course not me..." Ivan shook his head. Although Voldemort, the source of the curse, was dead, who knew whether the curse was still there or not. He was not going to make fun of his own life.
What if bad luck happens frequently when the time comes to fight Grindelwald?
So Ivan guessed that this professor's position would most likely be vacant this year. After all, most of the capable wizards in England knew well and would not want to get into trouble.
Snape was very active in wanting to become a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but for the sake of his life, Ivan still asked Pierce to reject his proposal. In addition, Snape, as the most outstanding potions master in England, went to Teaching defensive skills is too condescending.
"Then what about our defense exam this school year? Has it been suspended?" Harry immediately thought of the exam at the end of the year. His O.W.L. test scores last school year were pretty good, and he was eligible to participate in the advanced class to study N.E.W.T. of course.
He has not forgotten that if he wants to become an Auror after graduation, excellent grades in Defense Against the Dark Arts are indispensable.
"Although classes are not in session, the exams will still continue, but don't worry. As long as you can successfully pass my course, the exams will definitely not be a problem." Ivan explained.
"By the way, Ivan, you haven't told us what you plan to teach this year. Has Hogwarts added a new class?" Ron asked.
"That's right..." Ivan kept it secret and had no intention of decrypting it in advance.
The Thestral's carriage slowly drove through the wide driveway and stopped in front of the castle gate. Everyone got off the carriage one by one and walked into the foyer together.
Just as Ivan expected, there were no unfamiliar faces on the professor's seat on the high platform, only two empty seats.
One is obviously reserved for him, and the other is the seat of the deceased principal Albus Dumbledore. Since Hogwarts has not elected a new principal for the time being, this seat is temporarily vacant. The school's affairs are managed by the current vice-principal, Professor McGonagall.
"Come and sit here, Ivan!" Hagrid, who was looking towards the foyer, stood up first and greeted cheerfully, then patted his head violently. "Oh, I almost forgot, I should call you Professor Hals now!"
Flitwick, McGonagall and others also stood up enthusiastically and welcomed Ivan to join the ranks of professors.
Even Snape, who usually had a cold face, nodded when Ivan passed by.
After Ivan sat down, the opening ceremony of the new school year began. The Sorting Hat shouted a new song that he had spent a whole year compiling in a weird tone. Then, the young freshmen in the audience began to sing under the guidance of Professor McGonagall. Under the guidance of the teacher, they sat on the chairs on the high platform one by one with an uneasy mood.
"Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat loudly shouted out the house to which the new student was assigned.
Ivan looked a little lost, while Flitwick on the side said with a smile. "Do you miss it very much? Do you remember when you first came to Hogwarts five years ago? I remember that at that time you looked as immature as these freshmen, but you were incredibly courageous. You dared to fight alone in the first grade. A giant monster..."
