Which dark magic shop are you talking about? Ivan asked tentatively.

"Of course it's Boginbock... After fighting for so long, I don't know which side won. Tom sighed.

Ivan frowned, he had been staying in his temporary residence all these days, looking for a way to change the past, so he didn't know that there was such a thing.

However, two dark magic shops were attacked in a row, and Ivan had to wonder if there was something related to this.

Is there anyone specifically targeting the owners of dark magic shops? Or is it...

Thoughts flashed through Ivan's mind.

Ivan asked, looking interested.

"And what about later? Didn't you say that the Aurors were looking at it? Have you found out who did it? ”

"Come on, those Aurors don't have the guts to do such a thing—" Tom pursed his lips disdainfully, took a sip of butterbeer, and continued slowly.

"Besides, it's all dark wizards who die, and I've heard that there are quite a few werewolves from other places, and the Ministry of Magic wishes that the more they die, the better."

"With so many people dead, order is much better this month," Tom gloated.

Was the attack a month ago?

Just as Ivan was about to continue asking to see if he could get some useful information, a hand suddenly wrapped his hand around his shoulder.

Ivan subconsciously wanted to activate the effect of the Ring of Protection and eject the other party.

But then Ivan thought of the purpose of his visit, suppressed the thought in his heart, put his right hand on his wand, and turned his head calmly.

Beside him was a middle-aged wizard with a very ordinary appearance, but his figure was unusually tall, and his palm was like a pincer tightly around Ivan's shoulder, making him unable to move.

"Daniel, why are you here? What about the others? The middle-aged wizard snatched the butterbeer from Ivan's hand with his other hand, took a few sips, and looked at Ivan with suspicion.

"Of course I'm waiting for you here," Ivan replied comfortably.

Then Ivan lowered his voice and complained.

"You didn't tell us that woman was so powerful before, we suffered a big loss when we did it, and we were yin..."

"We'll talk about it later!" The middle-aged wizard interrupted Ivan's words, glared at Tom who was eavesdropping on him warningly, and then forcibly dragged Ivan away.

Tom shrugged his shoulders indifferently and put away the half-drunk bottle of butterbeer.

He doesn't care about these things, not to mention that what Ivan said is very vague and has no substance at all...

Ivan, who was taken away, had no intention of resisting, which was exactly what he wanted.

It's not a good idea to make a move in the Leaky Cauldron, and the Aurors who are responsible for protecting Harry are not far away, so it wouldn't be good if there was a misunderstanding.

Ivan was pinned out of the Leaky Cauldron, and the two of them walked all the way to the dark alley of Tumbledown Alley.

Walking to no one's place, the stout middle-aged wizard suddenly attacked, pressed Ivan to the corner, pulled him by the collar, and said eagerly.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

In such a hurry?!

Ivan was a little confused, or did he say that among the dead attackers were friends of the other party?

Thinking of this, Ivan pretended to be afraid and said hesitantly.

"When we entered the dark magic shop and fought the female shopkeeper, we accidentally fell into a trap, and a black magic prop caused an explosion, and many people were injured, and in the end, I was the only one who escaped..."

"So where have you been for so long? Why not come to us? The middle-aged wizard's eyes were full of distrust.

"I've been hiding in a dilapidated room on the east side to recuperate, I don't dare to look for you again, the other eight are dead, and I'm the only one still alive, so..." Ivan struggled to think of the right words in his mind, trying to restore his image as much as possible.

These words seemed to make the middle-aged wizard relax his vigilance, and he lowered his right hand that was restraining Ivan.

But before Ivan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the middle-aged wizard smashed directly into a fist with his right hand.

Under the effect of the protective ring, a transparent magic barrier instantly blocked Ivan's face.

The fist smashed on it and rippled, and the force of the recoil made the stout middle-aged wizard retreat again and again.

"Except for your weapons!" Ivan didn't know how he was exposed, but he waved his wand for the first time, and a blinding red light flashed in the dim night.

At such a close distance, the disarming spell was missed, and the middle-aged male wizard twisted his body and rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment, narrowly avoiding it.

"You're not Daniel?!" The middle-aged wizard had a gloomy face.

"Of course not!" Ivan was not pretending to be interested at this time, but he still asked in a strange voice. "Did I just say something wrong?"

The wizard didn't answer, and quickly jumped up from the ground and sprinted in front of Ivan, smashing it down with an elbow.

Once again, the magic barrier fended off Ivan...

The Iron Armor Spell was not originally a spell developed to resist physical attacks, and under the two heavy blows in succession, there were already signs of instability.

Are you still not a wizard?

Ivan was very depressed, but he also knew that at such a close distance, for ordinary wizards, unless they could cast spells without spells, fists were more effective than magic!

Fortunately, he was not an ordinary wizard, Ivan's mind moved, and the runes of the magic ring on his wrist lit up one by one,

Before the next punch landed in his face, a shockwave of pure magic spread around Ivan.

The tower-like wizard was swept away in an instant, hitting the wall behind him.

"Faint.." Ivan waved his wand and was about to cast a spell to subdue the opponent, but suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Avada suo!"

On the other side of the alley, a low male voice sounded, and a deep green light flew out in the darkness,

The moment Ivan saw the green light, he threw a few buckles in that direction,

Flying in mid-air, the transformation spell released on the clasp was immediately lifted, and several black fist-sized mice were horizontal in the middle, and the green light hit the body of one of the mice, leaving the rats terrified and scattered after landing on the ground.

These rats that were transformed into buttons were naturally prepared by Ivan a long time ago.

The last time he was nearly killed by Tom Riddle's Arvada, Ivan has been thinking about how to deal with the Killing Curse.

The effect of this spell is simple and straightforward, it is to end a life, and there is no way to undo the spell after the spell.

It's not impossible to deal with it, just find a living animal to resist the killing curse, just like the phoenix who resisted the killing curse in the secret room last school...

Taking advantage of Ivan's defense under the killing curse, the sturdy wizard had already stood up from the ground, and two figures walked out of the dark alley in the distance.

Ivan's face was slightly gloomy, it was obvious that the other party brought him here, it was premeditated...

Thanks to the book friend weathering Ye Jun for the 500 starting coins.
