Chapter 173: You must not know how this professor's position was vacated.
With Professor McGonagall's promise, Ivan went to the auditorium to eat in a good mood.
When he arrived, the auditorium was already packed, but Hermione, Harry, and Ron had reserved a place for him....
"Ivan, why are you here so late?" Hermione, who was struggling with a steak, turned her head and asked.
"Just ask Professor McGonagall some questions." Ivan smiled and said casually, without revealing much information.
The Animagus Transfiguration was a secret, and although he trusted Hermione, the less people knew about it, the safer it was...
"No wonder your Transfiguration is so good!" Hermione said with some annoyance.
The little witch somewhat understood where the gap between herself and Ivan was, it must be that she hadn't worked hard enough to actively ask the professors of various subjects for advice!
Thinking that when Ivan was in school year, he often worked hard to practice Transfiguration while eating, Hermione also practiced with the latest cup, and asked for advice on the release technique of Transfiguration from time to time, and Ivan also answered one by one.
Harry and Ron couldn't interject at all, and they had to complain to each other about the recent bad luck.
Ron, in particular, kept complaining that there was a problem with his wand, and Harry reluctantly asked him to write home and ask for another one, but Ron directly refused because he didn't want to be scolded again.
Ivan suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Ron, can you show me your broken wand?"
The method of wand making has always been a curiosity for Ivan.
However, he didn't usually have any extra wands to study, and he didn't really want to break those wands that were intact to see, so Ron's broken one piqued his interest.
"Of course, Ivan, can you fix it?" Ron immediately handed over his wand and looked at Ivan expectantly.
Ivan took the wand and took a closer look, and found that the wand was so badly damaged that it was almost broken in two, with only some wood fibers barely connected in the middle, and the outside was repaired by Ron with magic glue to keep the wand from falling off.
After opening the system bar, the information is displayed clearly and clearly.
[Magic Items: Wand (Ash, Unicorn Hair)
Mana: Low (Medium)
Special Condition: Fracture
Description: This is a badly damaged wand, although it has not damaged the core of the wand, but using this wand to cast spells, there is a certain probability of hurting yourself. 】
"Maybe it can be fixed, but I can't guarantee it!" Ivan was a little sure when he saw the explanation, but he still said uncertainly.
"Then you can do whatever you want, it's bad enough by now anyway." Ron said indifferently, he was angry at the sight of the wand now.
Ivan nodded, and put his wand away for the time being.
Hermione suddenly remembered something. "Ron, your wand was given to Ivan, what about the next Defence Against the Dark Arts class?"
"Trust me, you won't be using a wand in the next Defense Against the Dark Arts class!" Ivan spoke.
"Why?" Hermione said expectantly as she held a brand new timetable with Lockhart's lessons circled in a heart shape. "I think Professor Lockhart will definitely let us learn some new spells!"
Ivan looked at Hermione with a strange expression, he thought that Lockhart's ruthless performance had broken Hermione during the time in Diagon Alley.
But I'm sure this Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson will impress Hermione...
"Even if we were to teach us a new spell in the next class, I wouldn't be able to release it with that broken wand." Ron is very open-minded, and it's all a fool of himself anyway.
Harry had a vague feeling that Lockhart's lecture was absolutely terrible, as he didn't look like a serious professor.
It turned out to be worse than they thought, or they were in trouble on the way to the classroom.
A small, gray-haired boy in the middle of the road, holding a Muggle camera in his hand, blushed at the sight of Harry and rushed to meet him.
"Hello, Harry? I... My name is Colin Creevey and I'm also at Gryffindor House, excuse me... I mean, can I take a picture of you? ”
Photograph? Harry was confused, no one had ever asked him to do so before.
Colin seemed very enthusiastic, and he rambled on about Harry's lore, such as how Harry had escaped the mysterious man's clutches, and even planned to have Harry sign his name.
Ivan glanced at Harry sympathetically, fame didn't seem to be all good, and sometimes there would be trouble.
But what Ivan didn't expect was that this little imp named Colin Creevey would soon set his sights on him again after telling Harry's legend and deeds.
"Also, you're Ivan Hals, aren't you? I've read the newspapers these days, and oh my God, it says you're the savior of werewolves, the best potions genius in hundreds of years!
I heard from a senior named Seamus that you killed a troll when you first entered the school, and at the end of the semester you rode a dragon and flew into the sky to breathe fire..."
Colin was almost speechless with excitement, he didn't expect that not long after he entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he would meet his idols and be assigned to the same house as the two of them!
It's simply amazing!
The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched, looking at Colin in front of him, who was excited to pull himself to take a picture, he somewhat understood Harry's usual troubles.
Colin suddenly screamed as if he had thought of something. "By the way, I also know that you killed a professor named Chino last school year!"
Colin Creevey's high-pitched screams suddenly spread through the hallway, attracting the attention of the young wizards, followed by Lockhart's trademark voice.
"What are you talking about?"
Lockhart, dressed in a fancy costume, strode over from the other side of the hallway, squeezing through the young wizards gathered there, and then asked with interest.
"Someone killed a professor? Who? Which professor died? ”
"It's the last Defence Against the Dark Arts professor named Chino! He's a liar, an evil dark wizard who deceives everyone with his masterful disguise, only to be discovered by Hals..."
Colin looked very excited when he talked about the gossip, and he said the gossip from somewhere, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Lockhart's face.
"In the end, Hals stopped Professor Chino from attacking the Forbidden Forest Warden, and managed to kill him with Harry, so Headmaster Dumbledore will ask Professor Lockhart to take over this position this year..."
