Chapter 151: Uninvited Dumbledore
"Amazing!" Marcus exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
Ivan was about to say a few words of modesty in the face of Marcus, the true inventor of the wolf poison potion, but Doggett came up at this time and interrupted him.
"Genius is always beyond the reach of ordinary people..."
Doggett sighed with a sigh on his face, attracting everyone's attention to gather over, and then patted Ivan on the shoulder and continued to boast.
"You may not know that Hals was able to identify herbs at the age of five, and at the age of six he was able to brew simple potions on his own... Of course, this is also inseparable from my hard work over the years.
To be honest, I wasn't surprised that he was able to develop a wolf poison potion at this grade. ”
What the? I can identify herbs at the age of five, and I can make potions at the age of six?
Ivan stared at Doggett with a confused expression, he didn't know when he was so powerful?
Who would believe that?
Ivan was complaining in his heart, even if he wanted to help him improve his reputation and hang the title of genius, this was too much, right?
But when he turned his head, Ivan noticed that Marcus and Stamp looked at him with admiration, and it was obvious that they were eating this set.
Just as Doggett was about to make further efforts, his words suddenly stopped, his eyes turned to the side, and his face became very ugly.
Ivan turned his head to look over with some confusion, and found that Doggett was looking at an old man with a white beard, he was wearing a dark green robe, with a blue-purple badge hanging on his shoulder, and his eyebrows looked somewhat similar to Doggett.
Ivan didn't have time to think about the relationship between Doggett and the other party, and his calm face couldn't help but change, because Ivan suddenly found that the old headmaster Dumbledore, who he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing beside the man, and the two walked towards this side together chatting.
"Albus, this is the genius little wizard you just kept telling me?" The old wizard's body seemed to be exceptionally strong, and he still spoke with a full of energy, he looked at Dumbledore and said with a smile.
"If you hadn't kept assuring me, I wouldn't have been able to trust a little wizard to come up with a solution to the werewolf problem."
"Dean Bohan, in fact, I am also surprised that he can have such an achievement, but if you think about it, it seems that every time I meet Hals, I can give me new surprises!" Dumbledore said in a brisk tone, turning his head and winking at Ivan.
"It made me look forward to what the next meeting would be like."
Who wants to meet you anymore? Ivan complained speechlessly, but on the surface, he said hello very well-behaved.
"Professor Dumbledore, Head Bohan. I had only made the wolf poison potion by accident, thanks to Mr. Doggett's many years of teaching, and I would not have been able to develop it without the information he had compiled while studying werewolves. ”
Dean Bohan nodded nondeniably, then looked at Doggett again, and said with some suspicion.
"I didn't know that you had been hiding in Tumbledown Alley all these years and in addition to causing trouble, you were still studying the werewolf problem? This was a real surprise .... It seems that you do something serious once in a while. ”
"That's because you only believe in what you have in your head, that's why you're so ignorant!" Doggett sarcastically exasperated.
As if he hadn't heard, Dean Bohan struck up a conversation with Ivan, especially praising Ivan's behavior of selling wolf venom potions at a reduced price.
The enthusiasm made Ivan a little overwhelmed, and he even wondered if this Dean Bohan would also be a werewolf, otherwise how could he care so much about the matter of wolf poison potion.
It didn't take long for Ivan to realize that he was overthinking.
From the conversation, Ivan quickly learned that St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries had received dozens of patients who had been scratched and bitten by werewolves over the years.
Most people have already missed the best time for treatment when they come to the hospital, and Bohan can only watch them being converted, but there is nothing he can do.
This was undoubtedly a kind of torture for Bohan, who was highly skilled in medicine.
Although the wolf poison potion developed by Ivan cannot cure werewolves, it can reduce similar werewolf riots by a lot, and can also allow many innocent werewolf wizards to reintegrate into normal life.
"Albus, I think Hals's contribution to the Ministry of Magic is enough for him to receive the Order of Merlin of the Second Degree, what do you think?" Dean Bohan said with emotion.
"Well, I think so too, and tomorrow I will write to the nomination." Dumbledore nodded, agreeing without hesitation.
Ivan was very surprised, he didn't expect that these two bigwigs in the wizarding world would be willing to help him initiate the nomination for the Order of Merlin.
On the way here, he learned from Doggett that in order to receive the Order of Merlin, in addition to making sufficient merits, there must also be a nominee.
The nominee should preferably be a fellow Merlin Medalist, or someone with some influence in the wizarding world.
If there is no nominee, the Knights of Merlin will automatically initiate nominations, but it is difficult to say how efficient it is.
This is also the reason why Doggett found these people this time and tried his best to help him brag, just to find a reliable nominee, and the registration of the patent was completed incidentally.
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, and of course, you... Dean Bohan! Ivan said with a little gratitude.
He understood that his merits were only enough for a third-class Merlin Medal, and if he wanted to obtain the second-level Merlin Medal, he had to rely on the influence of these two bigwigs.
Although Ivan was not very interested in the Merlin Medal, he would not let this snub the two who helped him.
Ivan was about to say thank you again, but saw Dumbledore waving his hand and sighed rarely.
"No, I'm going to thank you, Hals, for your wolf poison potion that saved one of my werewolf friends, who had done a lot for me before, but who had been impoverished all these years because of his status as a werewolf wizard, and I couldn't do anything but watch..."
Werewolf friends? Ivan's mind moved, and he understood that Dumbledore was talking about the werewolf Lupin.
If he remembered correctly, this core member of the Order of the Phoenix, because of his werewolf status, should still be wandering somewhere, right?
Could it be that Dumbledore intended to bring him back as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor next school year?
Ivan was looking forward to it, after all, Lockhart was a parallel commodity in the next school year, and taking his Defence Against the Dark Arts class was a torture...
However, when you think about it, it seems unlikely, because there are only about ten days left before the day of school, and the choice of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor should have already been decided...
