In fact, Ivan was no less frightened than Malfoy. He didn't expect that he would cast this black magic, let alone succeed.
This black magic that attacks the soul is very profound and complicated, and requires extremely strong magic power and profound magic theory as the basis.
At Aiwen's level, he originally thought it was impossible for him to cast it.
Even if it was only inadvertently successful, it also shows that Aiwen's strength has indeed improved a lot recently, but he doesn't feel happy at all.
He staggered back to the Gryffindor common room, not hearing whoever was speaking to him.
He sat alone on the sofa in front of the fireplace for a long time, thinking about it.
Thinking of the consequences of that black magic, Ivan realized the fear in his heart.
He kept asking himself, knowing that there would be such a result, why did he study these black magic in the first place
Under the current situation, he doesn't know whether he should continue to study according to the current thinking
If he continues, he may master powerful power, but there is no guarantee that he will not get lost in it and become an evil dark wizard like Voldemort.
The temptation of power, sometimes it is really difficult to choose.
Maybe he should change his mind
In the middle of the night, there was no one in the Gryffindor common room except Ivan.
He stared blankly at the fire dancing in the fireplace, and sat there alone in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and someone came out of the bedroom.
Ivan turned his head and saw Hermione in pink pajamas walking towards him.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm worried about you, what happened?" Hermione sat on the sofa next to Ivan and said worriedly, "You look very abnormal tonight, when I just said good night to you, you just Nod."
"I was thinking about something and didn't hear your voice." Ai Wen explained.
"Thinking about what?" Hermione moved closer.
She stared at Ivan closely, and under the candlelight, her brown eyes shone charmingly.
Seeing Hermione's beautiful, wise eyes, Ivan was a little lost.
It took him a full three seconds before he came back to his senses.
Ivan is too familiar with Hermione, he knows that the other party must have noticed something, if he doesn't explain clearly, she will not let it go.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell Hermione everything.
Although the study of black magic is taboo, it should be done secretly by one person, but Aiwen doesn't want to hide anything from Hermione.
He believed in Hermione, not to mention he also wanted to hear her opinion.
"I just met Malfoy on the stairs, and they are going to ambush me!" Ivan said hesitantly, "Don't worry, Hermione, I'm fine. I used a magic to repel them, it was a black magic, Very deep, very complicated, and very evil at the same time, I didn't expect to be able to successfully cast it!"
"Dark magic?!" Hermione looked up at Ivan in astonishment.
"You know, I've been doing magic research recently. In fact, what I'm researching are all the black magic books brought out from the Black family's library." Ivan said bravely, and he noticed that Hermione's face was getting more and more surprised. expression.
"Oh my God, you are studying black magic?!" Hermione dared not believe it. "I can't believe it. How could you do this? This is wrong. It is said in the book that black magic is very evil, and only dark wizards can do it." meeting"
"In order to improve our strength, in the face of dark wizards and an uncertain future, it is always beneficial to learn more about black magic." Aiwen's voice became weaker and weaker, and he looked at Hermione with pleading eyes .
"You mean, you don't learn these black arts to use them, or use that knowledge to do bad things, but to understand better?"
"That's right, that's it!" Even Ivan himself felt a little tangled in this reason.
Believe it or not, he really did think this way.
From the beginning to the end, Ivan was not prepared to learn and master these black magics, and the purpose of his research was not to use them.
He didn't want to be an evil dark wizard, perhaps because of preconceptions, Ivan has always had a deep prejudice and great vigilance against black magic.
But as an important part of magic, black magic is indispensable. If you want to become a powerful wizard, you must study black magic. This is an indispensable part. Only by having a deep understanding of black magic can you better deal with it. This is what Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts class has always insisted on. teaching concept.
But it is undeniable that black magic is too powerful, and power comes too easily.
With the deepening of research, it is inevitable to be subjected to various temptations and tests.
Faced with these temptations, many people did not stick to their original intentions and eventually got lost in it.
"If you just do research and understand, I don't think it's a problem." Hermione said worriedly, "But it's black magic after all, you have to be careful!"
"I know, in fact, what happened tonight made me realize that magic research has entered into a wrong misunderstanding recently. hesitate"
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Hermione looked at Ivan carefully for a long time, and suddenly stretched out her small hand to hold Ivan tightly, and said slowly, "I once said that no matter what happens, I will always I believe in you. Aiwen, promise me, don't let me down, okay?"
"I promise you, I won't let you down." Ivan nodded, and replied very seriously, "Thank you, Hermione, thank you for always being willing to believe in me!"
Seeing Hermione in front of him, Ivan finally made up his mind.
On the comfortable sofa in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, the two of them chatted for a long time, and it was not until the middle of the night that Hermione went back to her bedroom to sleep.
When he was alone again, Aiwen took out his recent research notes and threw them into the fire, watching it burn to ashes.
Since the research on black magic is inevitable and cannot be given up, Aiwen decided to change his research strategy. Based on these black magics, he plans to deeply analyze the principles, structures, and many theories involved in magic, research ways to resist them, and then improve his own strength.
In doing so, the difficulty of magic research will be several times higher than before.
However, the benefits were much smaller, and Aiwen's strength could not be improved quickly, but he did not regret it. As promised, he did not want to disappoint Hermione.
In Ivan's impression, Dumbledore had dabbled in black magic when he was young, and he might have faced the same choice.
He finally paid a heavy price, his sister lost his life because of this, and he repented and sobered up because of this.
This is the regret of Dumbledore's life. After that, he has been working hard to fight against the black magic.
Aiwen reminded himself not to repeat the same mistakes, like Dumbledore to cherish after losing, or become a puppet of power like Voldemort.
For Hermione's sake, for his own sake, he must always be vigilant and cannot relax. (.)
