That night, Malfoy was in for a real shock.
After Ivan left, he was eventually escorted back to the Slytherin common room.
He kept repeating to others what he saw at the time, seeing the skull-shaped death in Ivan's green spell, and feeling the breath of death.
The students of Slytherin listened to Malfoy's description, but no one knew exactly what the magic Ivan used was.
After discussion, they generally agreed that what Malfoy saw was only fantasy. It's not that no one has thought of black magic, but the spells used by Ivan are too rare. Except for him, no one in Hogwarts has read the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Arts".
No matter in terms of difficulty or degree of evil, this spell is beyond the understanding of little wizards, and they can't imagine it at all.
They can only give the most likely conclusions within the scope of their own cognition.
That Grim Reaper was just a fantasy, a conclusion that reassured Malfoy a lot.
But every time he recalled the scene at that time, recalling the suffocation of death that went straight to the depths of his soul, he still had lingering fears. Aiwen's spell directly attacked the soul. Although it didn't hit Malfoy in the end, it had already affected him.
Now, as long as he meets Ivan in the castle, Malfoy will go around. He has been a lot more honest recently, and he no longer comes here to provoke or make trouble like before.
Although he didn't say it clearly, his expression was clearly full of fear.
After the failure to ambush Ivan, neither Malfoy nor the other Slytherin students continued to take action.
However, Hogwarts was not calm because of this. I don't know when, rumors that Ivan was studying black magic gradually spread in the castle.
The specific source of the rumor has not been explored, but the content is very true. The witnesses seem to have seen Ivan studying black magic with their own eyes.
This rumor is like throwing a stone on a calm lake, causing ripples.
The little wizards talked secretly for a while, but soon lost interest. In everyone's opinion, the statement that Aiwen is studying black magic is really ridiculous!
They would rather believe that Harry is the descendant of Slytherin and will replace Voldemort as the third generation of Dark Lord, and they do not want to believe the rumor that Ivan will become a dark wizard.
After all, what Ivan has done in the past two years is impossible to pick.
What's more, as the time for the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw approached, the energy of the little wizards was all transferred to the Quidditch match.
Needless to say, Ravenclaw's Quidditch team was great, but they were all about sweeping the Seven Stars, which was nothing compared to Harry's Firebolt.
All the Gryffindors waited with high confidence for this match.
Although there were Firebolts, the Gryffindor team did not relax in the slightest. They trained harder than before. During the last training session before Saturday's game, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were having breakfast in the auditorium as usual.
Wood came over suddenly, and he brought Harry the last intelligence instructions before the game.
"Harry, I just found out who the Ravenclaw team's Seeker is. It's Cho Chang, a girl, and she's pretty good!"
"Cho Chang?!" Harry froze for a moment, his heart was beating rapidly, and an image of a black-haired girl smiling at him appeared uncontrollably in his mind.
"A fourth-year Ravenclaw student, Ivan seems to like her very much." Hermione said enlightenedly, "On the last day before the Christmas holiday, they even wanted to go"
Hermione couldn't continue talking immediately, her face turned red, remembering what she and Ivan did at Madame Puddiffe's teahouse that day.
Strictly speaking, that was Alvin and Hermione's first date. In the small teahouse where the air was filled with a sweet smell, Hermione felt that his head stopped working, and he couldn't help but hope that Ivan would kiss like other couples around him
"Where did they go?" Harry asked curiously.
"No, it's nothing!" Hermione blushed violently, she returned to reality from her memory, and hurriedly covered it up.
Just at this moment, an owl flew towards her, and she frantically took the letter paper off the owl's leg.
Hermione looked less embarrassed by concentrating on the letter.
"I know that Cho Chang, she's very pretty." Ron gave Hermione a puzzled look, before adding, "She's prettier than any girl I know."
"That's not the point, the point is her level of Quidditch. Harry, you can't be fooled by each other's Seekers like Angelina and Alicia watch Diggory, we have to win the game, this is our last opportunity." Wood waved his hand indifferently, "I had hoped that she was not in good shape, and there were some problems with her injuries, but I just got the news that she has fully recovered."
Harry didn't know how to answer. From Wood's point of view, this might be bad news, but he was inexplicably relieved.
"But don't worry too much!" Wood frowned and continued, "She is riding a Comet 260. Compared with the Firebolt, it is a joke."
he said, casting an enthusiastic, admiring glance at the broom beside Harry.
"This broomstick is our hope. You and him are the best combination." Wood concluded, "Okay, I'm going to the field to warm up first, and you'd better hurry up."
"Oliver is driving us crazy. This year is his last chance to win the Quidditch Cup. In order to win the game, he would like to let everyone hang on the broomstick all the time."
"I heard from Fred and George that Wood plans to join the club to become a professional Quidditch player after graduation. This Quidditch Cup is very important to him."
"Yeah, that's why everyone worked so hard, and I don't want him to regret. We are obviously the strongest team, but we always lose the game due to various accidents." Harry sighed, turned his head and saw Hermione was Looking at the letter he just received, he seemed a little excited, and he couldn't help asking, "Hermione, what happened?"
"It was Hagrid, he won the case." Waving the note in her hand, Hermione raised her head and replied with a smile, "The verdict has just come out, and the Dangerous Creatures Committee believes that Buckbeak is not dangerous, and Malfoy's injury was just an accident. "
"I knew it would be like this. Hagrid and Buckbeak were wronged in the first place." Harry said happily, he was sincerely happy for Hagrid to come.
"This matter was able to go so smoothly, mainly because of the help of Mr. Newt Scamander. Ivan and I had written so many reports in the newspaper before, but it had no effect. Mr. Mr. Scamander agreed "
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry just thought that he and Ron basically did not help in this matter, and almost all the work was done by Ivan and Hermione.
Thinking of this, he was a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's Malfoy's reaction that makes me wonder, Hagrid won the case, he must be terribly angry." Harry hurriedly changed the subject, "But he didn't respond at all, it's really weird, we'd better Be careful, he must be plotting something again. You know, he was very abnormal after the Dueling Club. With the help of Sirius, I clearly defeated him at the time, but he didn't come to make trouble, which is really strange! "(.)
