With the help of the quill to rush answers, the efficiency of replying to letters has increased several times, and Ivan only needs to open the envelope and read it once, and then put it aside, and the quill placed on the table will automatically start writing the reply.

Even so, Ivan spent a full morning,

When he opened the last envelope, Ivan found that the letter was different from the others, and that it had been sent from school.

Specifically, he was asked to catch the train to school at King's Cross Station on September 1st, along with a list of second-year books.

Ivan simply scanned it, in addition to a few professional books to be used in various subjects, there were also seven books of Lockhart's books, and the price was more expensive than the other.

Ivan suddenly understood who the professor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class was for next semester.

However, Lockhart's shameless realm also surprised him, and he actually used his position as a professor to let Hogwarts students increase the sales of books, and there was no one....

"Mom, you may have to give me some more gold Galleons, this year's books are extraordinarily expensive, maybe dozens of Galleons." Looking at the price marked on it, Ivan sighed and had to ask for help.

Although he had attracted a lot of business for his family's magic shop, after all, it was Althea who collected the money, and he couldn't get it at all, and the gold galleons he had accumulated before had almost been used up.

"Dozens of Galleons? So expensive? Althea, who was helping to collect the reply, curiously took the list of books and glanced at it.

"Gilderoy Lockhart?" Althea was surprised.

"Mom, do you know him?" Ivan had a bad feeling that if he remembered correctly, Lockhart seemed to be a friend of women, and he had countless fans in the wizarding world.

Fortunately, Ivan soon saw that Aisya shook his head.

"No, I don't know it, but I've heard about it, and I've heard that he is a powerful person, and the books he wrote have been recognized by many well-known people."

"Looks like you've got a great Defence Against the Dark Arts professor next school year." Aisya said with a smile.

Ivan pouted, this guy is a parallel import, so it's better to use the Oblivion Charm.

But Ivan didn't tell Aisia Ming, anyway, this guy will show his bottom as soon as he becomes a professor in the next academic year, even if he doesn't lose his memory due to the basilisk incident, he will probably be in trouble.

Althea helped Ivan organize the list, then took out a hundred gold Galleons from the cabinet and put them in a magic bag and handed them to Ivan.

"That's enough, the rest is for you to use at school." Althea said very generously.

A hundred gold gallons is not a small amount, and if it weren't for Ivan's amazing performance during the summer vacation and his never spending money indiscriminately, Althea would not be at ease with a child holding such a large sum of money.

In fact, Aisya thought of simply closing the business for half a day and taking this opportunity to take Ivan to Diagon Alley for a good stroll, but this idea was rejected by Ivan.

Ivan didn't go to Liheng Academy just to buy books, but more importantly, he remembered that one of the ways to get academic grade points was to read through magic books.

As long as you reach 100% progress, you will be rewarded with a number of points of equal difficulty, and you can also increase your knowledge of magic, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

So for the remaining days before school starts, Ivan plans to go to the bookstore and see as much as he can.

Of course, it was impossible for Althea to suspend business for a few days in a row, especially now that business was just improving, so she had no choice but to dismiss the idea of accompaniment.

"Otherwise, let Doggett accompany you for the next few days." Althea was somewhat uneasy, and Ivan walked alone through Tumbledown Alley.

"No, I'd rather drink the polyjuice decoction and go alone!" Ivan shook his head resolutely.

He's had enough of that bastard Doggett, and there's nothing good going out with him every time except for the one time at the Ministry of Magic.

"Alright then," Althea sighed and agreed, unable to resist a determined Ivan, but reminded him instead. "You're not allowed to go out like me."

Ivan nodded, he was not in the habit of becoming the opposite sex.

Back in his room, Ivan took out the polyjuice decoction that had been placed in the drawer, which he had made before, and could be used by adding other people's hair.

Thinking about it, Ivan added a hair he had collected and took a sip, estimating that it was enough for him to get out of Tumbledown Alley.

The next moment, Ivan felt as if his body had been torn apart, and a tingling spread throughout his body, followed by a misalignment of bones, stretching of skin, and the original fitting robe was propped up.

Ivan felt that there was a miscalculation, he actually forgot that his clothes would be torn after the transformation, he should have prepared in advance.

Fortunately, this little thing was not difficult for Ivan, who was already close to the fifth level of the Transfiguration Technique, and under the wave of his wand, the torn clothes were quickly restored, and then they became much wider and larger under the effect of the Transfiguration Charm.

Dressing up, Ivan stood in front of the mirror again, looking at the young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with a little freckles on his face, who was exactly the same as Walker.

The reason why he chose to become him is naturally due to the fact that he can contact not many people every day, only collecting the hair of Althea, Doggett, and Walker.

He didn't plan to transform into the middle-aged man of Dougett, so the only option was this.

"Mom, then I'll go out first." Before leaving, Ivan greeted Aisya who was still sending the letter.

Althea turned her head and looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young wizard in front of her, with a strange expression on her face, but she still nodded.

This is also the reason why Althea does not let Ivan become herself, it always feels weird...

......

Walking alone on the streets of Tumbledown Alley, Ivan sensed a different experience, and there seemed to be some kind of malice all around him.

Along the way, Ivan was accosted by several strangers, some of whom were selling all kinds of goods, and some of whom invited him to "certain places" to have fun...

But the one who dared to do it was not, and even then Ivan had to be tough in order to make these people retreat.

As he approached Tumbledown Alley, Ivan noticed that the street leading to Diagon Alley was halfway blocked, and in front of him was a grinning old witch pulling a small-looking wizard.

The wizards around seemed to be not there, and there were a few male wizards squatting in the corner on the side, probably watching the excitement.

Ivan raised his eyebrows, and when he was hesitating whether to interfere or take a detour, he found that the figure of the little wizard was somewhat familiar to him,

That seems to be Harry Potter?

But what about Hagrid? Where did he go?
