Ten of the gold gallons were given by Harry, and Ivan was puzzled at first, and then after thinking about it, he realized that Harry should have always remembered that he was short of money.

Since it was a gift, Ivan still accepted it in the end as insurance.

Among the remaining gifts, the notebook was signed by Hermione, and the contents were all the notes that Hermione had taken during class since the beginning of the school year, and it was as thick as a book.

Ivan smiled, and the girl actually thought of going with him.

There is no explanation as to which two round unidentified objects were given by the Weasley brothers, but Ivan looks like a big poop egg used to play pranks in the original books.

Ron was given a bag of cheap candy, and Ivan tried to see how it was different from the other bargains, but nothing came of it.

"I didn't know you would give me something so funny, I thought it was a bag of candy." Ron, who was flying the new wizard flag with Harry, noticed Ivan's movements, and his slightly freckled face suddenly flushed, and he stammered a little.

"It's nothing, it's also good to give candy, enough for me to eat for several days." Ivan hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, it was just other high-quality gifts, which made him think that Ron's gift was also different.

"And Ron, the candy you gave me was delicious." Harry opened the same candy Ron had given him from the table, took one out and threw it in his mouth, but his face changed slightly when he bit into it, but he still smiled happily.

With the comfort of the two, Ron calmed down from his awkward situation.

No way, Mrs. Weasley only gave him two silver coins as pocket money before going to school, and no matter how much he saved, he had already spent almost enough.

After comforting Ron's somewhat fragile heart, Ivan turned his attention to the last gift. Crucially, it was a Christmas gift from his mother, Althea.

It was a crescent-shaped pendant with a glimmer of light, with an envelope attached to the bottom of the pendant, the style looked different from the others, and it would move around on its own, and Ivan had already realized that something was wrong.

It's a howl letter!

Sure enough, in the next second, the letter flew into the air and shouted loudly.

"Ivan Hals!"

"Who allowed you to sign an application to stay in school without your consent? Not even a letter of inquiry before Christmas! I waited for you in the station for five whole hours... Five hours! If I hadn't sent a letter to your damn Headmaster, I'd almost think you'd be missing, or dead in Hogwarts......"

The high-pitched highs reverberated in the already small dormitory, and even if Ivan covered his ears, it didn't do much, because the sounds seemed to have a magical power that could not be stopped.

The screaming lasted for half an hour, and the whole letter stopped after Ivan was scolded, and finally he did not forget to warn Ivan that the crescent-shaped pendant on the table must be carried at all times, and it must not be taken off without her consent.

Harry and Ron were also frightened by the screaming letter, until the screams died down and Ron rubbed his ears and almost thought he was deaf.

"Ivan, who sent you this howling letter? It's a really loud voice, about the same as my mother's. Ron asked.

"My mother, of course." Ivan sighed helplessly, he said that he always felt that he had forgotten something, it turned out that he had forgotten to send a letter to his mother, Aisyah, whom he had never met, at Christmas.

But he can't be blamed for this, after all, it's too late to dodge in Ivan's heart, so how can he take the initiative to contact.

"Isn't your mother very nice to you? Just like my uncle's family? Harry said with some sympathy, in his opinion, staying at the school on Halloween, except for the temporary absence of the family like Ron, could only be like him.

"It's just a little contradiction, not so exaggerated." Ivan shook his head, he hadn't figured it out himself.

In fact, after learning Occlumency, Ivan was able to sort out the memories that remained in his brain on his own, and although they were incomplete, they also extracted a lot of valuable information.

For example, his home is in a dark magic shop in Tumbledown Alley, and the owner is his mother, Althea Hals, who can survive the chaos of Tumbledown Alley with a child, and can live well, Althea's ability is undoubted.

In addition to her not weak black magic attainments, Althea also makes all kinds of powerful or weird black magic props...

Yes, it's a black magic prop... Instead of normal magic items,

In the words of Althea Hals, it's in Tumbledown Alley, and normal things can't be sold... Only by engaging in those lethal, cursed things can you survive....

Ivan also learned how to make the magic items that came with him at the beginning, and he could learn a lot of related knowledge just by hearing and seeing.

As for his father, in Ivan's memory, Althea barely took the initiative to mention it even once, even if he was annoyed by his questioning, he only said that the reckless guy himself stupidized himself to death...

And the memories of those friends about his mother Althea, as well as the memories of others, were not so clear in Ivan's mind.

The only thing that made Ivan feel fortunate was that in his memory, Althea's hands and wrists were as white as the sun, and there were no so-called dark magic marks, which meant that they were not from Voldemort's side.

But even so, the identity of the dark wizard is still not washed...

Ivan looked at the meniscus pendant on the table with some apprehension, and wondered if it could be blessed with some black magic and give him a punishment at a distance or something.

Anyway, it's a relative, it shouldn't be so scary, right?

Ivan swallowed and finally guessed that it should be a follower.. Or maybe it's a locator that can determine his location...

Ivan guessed, then touched his hand and looked at the system's magic inventory, which had been used as an appraiser by Ivan since he knew how to use it.

[Magic Item: Crescent Pendant.]

Magic: Strong

Description: This is a magical item made with a large amount of precious metal, which is used to resist a lethal attack for the bearer, and is automatically destroyed when the mana is exhausted.

Notes: Only high-intensity lethal attacks can activate its effects, and it contains more than just magical power...]

Ivan stood there for a long time, and finally sighed and hung the crescent-shaped pendant around his neck.

For some reason, he wished there was some dark magic or something...
