Chapter 166 165: Safety measures! Ian's birthday!


Chapter 166 Chapter 165: Safety Measures! Ian's birthday!

The encounter in Knockturn Alley is an unexpected episode.

But for Ian, who had been struggling for many days without getting Lupin's blood, this episode could really be regarded as someone passing a pillow under his neck when he fell asleep.

It took a full afternoon before Ian and Lupine left Knockturn Alley with satisfaction.

"What did you do to them?" Lupine still couldn't calm down after spending an afternoon. He couldn't get any useful information from the werewolves who were missing arms and legs. Being beaten up by a little wizard is indeed an unspeakable humiliation for the werewolves with strong self-esteem.

"Of course they accepted my truth with all their heart." Ian fiddled with his bulging wallet, which contained blood from dozens of different werewolves.

Of course, in addition to the diversity of blood samples, Ian also asked the werewolves to collect some other body fluids. He was quite interested in the reproductive capabilities of werewolves and whether their milk was also contagious.

However, in the related research on werewolves, all the books involved did not have similar content. Naturally, the young wizard could only choose to fill this academic gap by doing his own research.

"What's the big deal?" After Lu Ping returned to Wu's Orphanage, he immediately began to clean up the blood left in the room. He had also suffered many non-fatal injuries in previous battles.

Although when he came back, he had already treated the wound and cleaned up most of the blood remaining in the room, he still had to be careful enough for safety reasons. If a child is accidentally exposed to his blood, it may be an irreparable tragedy.

Children of just a few years old dare to put maggots into their mouths. Licking unknown liquids in certain places can only be regarded as a basic act. Many poisoning incidents among children are actually caused by this bad habit.

"Of course, the wand has the right to speak. The truth only lies within the range of the wand...haven't you seen that their eyes have become much clearer after increasing their knowledge in this area?" Ian stared at the best on Lupine's arm. He also wanted some samples from the blood vessel that had not been used to drink the [Spiritual Awakening Potion].

Lupine felt a little scared when he saw the little wizard.

"I only saw your forced buying and selling..."

When he mentioned this incident, he couldn't help but recall the tragic situation of the werewolves again.

A few silver coins can buy a large amount of blood from a werewolf. This kind of transaction is better than the copper nut paid to him. None of the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley dare to do this kind of business of exploiting werewolves. .

"I just used American hegemony a little bit. Of course the winner deserves the pricing power over the experimental products." Ian already felt that he was very generous.

At least he didn't capture the werewolves and find a place to keep them in captivity.

If this is not good, what is good?

"How much werewolf blood did you get?" Lupine didn't even want to think about the large syringe Ian used. The syringe of that size looked thicker than his forearm.

"A few dozen kilograms, it's not too much."

Ian briefly estimated the gains from his trip.

"..."

Lu Ping really didn't know how to evaluate this answer that sounded a little unfinished. You must know that blood transactions in the market are only calculated in units of [ounces].

"What is the use of so much werewolf blood?"

This is what he doesn't understand the most. It's not like he has never been exposed to masters in potions. His best brother's beautiful wife is a potion genius.

"I realized that there may be many treasures hidden in the werewolf virus. If I want to decipher the secrets of the werewolf virus, the blood in my hand may not be enough." Ian never thought that he was just a simple potion. Refiner, he also believes that some methods on the scientific side can be equally applicable on the magic side.

There may be no bad viruses in this world, the bad ones may just be people who use viruses incorrectly.

"I always feel like you are trying to do something extremely evil... I will still report today's events to Dumbledore." Lupine wiped the sweat from his forehead with a chill down his spine.

Now I am taking a little breather.

He has also thought about a lot of things, and the only reasonable explanation for what happened before is that the strength of this little wizard really cannot be judged by common sense.

It can only be said that it is indeed a mixture of five families!

The strength is so terrifying!

After vaguely realizing that the person in front of him might be a terrifying little monster, Lupine finally realized why Albus Dumbledore needed someone to keep an eye on Ian.

Under the age of twelve.

The strength is already much stronger than that of an adult wizard like him.

To some extent, this may be even more unsettling than the Dark Lord... At least the Dark Lord always has a purpose when doing bad things, and maybe the little wizard does bad things just out of curiosity?

As a member of the largest group of troublemakers in the past, Lu Ping could not even imagine what kind of disaster a powerful little wizard could cause inadvertently!

"If you had not chosen to leave so early, you could have reported in more detail and known the domineering story of the little wizard showing off his power and the vicious werewolf trembling."

Ian doesn't shy away from showing off his exploits. That is to say, Lupine ran away when he rushed from Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley, otherwise he would let Lupine see his handsome side no matter what.

As for the so-called small report.

When had he ever worried about something like that?

"I know you are very powerful, okay." Lupine sighed heavily, his eyes falling on Ian's money bag, "You really don't have any extremely terrifying alchemy tools hidden in your body?"

Even though he had accepted the reality, he still felt a little magical in his heart... I'm afraid Albus Dumbledore didn't have such strength when he was less than twelve years old.

As one of the core members of the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine could have such thoughts in his mind, which shows how much the situation caused by the little wizard had shaken the heart of this down-and-out werewolf.

"What kind of horror do you want to know? I don't think I'm prepared. If you mean props of mass destruction, I don't think I can come up with several suitable works at the moment." The face came from The little wizard chose to tell the truth and responded to the "regulator's" "inquiry" by tilting his head.

However.

Although he had shown himself to be honest and enthusiastic, it was obviously not the answer Lupine wanted to hear. The desolate middle-aged man's forehead began to sweat like crazy.

He felt that maybe he shouldn't have asked this question stupidly. If he hadn't spoken, at this moment, his heart wouldn't be so worried and his brain wouldn't be so trembling.

"Is Hogwarts now tolerant to this extent..." As soon as these hoarse words were spoken, Lupine seemed to feel his own stupidity again.

No.

The little wizard's answer immediately made Lupine dumbfounded.

"If Hogwarts can tolerate werewolves studying in the school, then why can't it tolerate me who is very curious about knowledge? I don't mean to humiliate you by saying this."

"I'm just giving an example of how inclusive Hogwarts is, and it has a great relationship with me." Sincerity may indeed be a nirvana at some times.

Ian used only one sentence.

This made Lu Ping no longer want to dwell on this issue.

"It's almost dinner time, you should go eat." He wanted to stay alone for a while, not because he was hurt, but mainly because he wanted to digest what he had encountered during the day.

"Are you going to drink this [awakening potion] of yours?" Ian took out the potion that Lupine handed to him before, but Lupine shook his head after looking at it for a moment.

"With the bottle of wolfsbane potion you gave me, at least I won't have any problems tonight... As for this medicine of unknown origin, I don't think it is a wise choice to drink it casually."


Lu Ping must have been struggling in his mind for a long time. When he finally moved his eyes away from the [Awakening Potion], there was a look of struggle in his eyes. This can be regarded as a sign of great perseverance, just like if you are not a hero, you will not read the Three Kingdoms, and if you are not a werewolf, you will not understand the fear of the full moon night in the werewolf's heart.

"Then let me study it first."

Ian felt that Lupine's judgment was reasonable. Although no abnormalities were found in those werewolves, no one could tell whether the [Awakening Potion] would have any side effects in the long run.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is no cheap lunch... The guy pretending to be the ancestor of Gryffindor is probably conducting [clinical trials] using the werewolves of Knockturn Alley. Experts who often conduct experiments on humans know that Phase I and Phase II [clinical trials] are most prone to various problems.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Lupine seemed hesitant to speak.

He actually has more trust in his other half, Prince.

certainly.

Only in terms of potion level.

It's just that this kind of trust that is limited to the level of potions also has a premise, that is, as long as the potions brewed by half Prince do not reach his mouth.

"Are you afraid that I will ask my uncle to study together?" Of course, Ian immediately understood the awkward expression on Lupine's face. He also knew a lot about the feud between Lupine's gang and Snape.

"You used Legilimency on me?"

Lupine was shocked.

Ian never thought it would be so satisfying to see such an expression on someone else's face.

"Does this still require mind reading?"

He felt the happiness that Teacher Morgan once had, so he was smiling very happily at this moment.

"I don't want to sow discord in your family. After all, we are in different positions. If you look at it from my perspective, Snape is not a trustworthy person."

There was no emotion in Lupine's tone, he just explained his views on Snape. It's not bias, it's just like what he said. Everyone is in a different position.

For this down-and-out werewolf, the death of his best friend and his wife were inseparable from Snape. Of course, he would not have any trust in Snape, a former Death Eater.

"Don't worry, [Awakening Potion] also has flaws. I will definitely be able to make a perfect Wolfsbane Potion, and this honor... I intend to keep it to myself from the bottom of my heart."

Ian blinked with a serious expression on his face.

"..."

Lupine felt that he should feel relieved at the young wizard's sincere answer, but in fact, his mood at this moment could be described as indescribably complicated.

"You can actually be a little... less honest." Lupine didn't want to teach the little wizard a bad lesson, but he wanted to make his experience when communicating with the little wizard less speechless.

"Okay."

Ian nodded in agreement and took out a small notebook.

"You don't have to take notes, do you?"

Lupine felt like he finally felt some of the Ravenclaw vibes in Ian.

However.

He didn't know.

[Today, Qing, after Senior Lu Ping escaped from the battlefield and ran back to wash the floor for an hour after I solved the problem with difficulty, Senior Lu Ping once again began to instigate me to lie more. 】

What the young wizard wrote down in his notebook was actually the report he planned to make to Albus Dumbledore. After all, Lupine couldn't just be allowed to report to him all the time, right? In fact, Ian has been recording small reports for several days, and he still maintains a style of only telling the truth.

"I have to go eat."

After making notes in a small notebook, Ian did not answer Lupine's words. He collected his things and walked straight to the door of Lupin's dark room.

"By the way, you won't be going out tonight, right?"

After Ian opened the door, he suddenly stopped again.

He asked back.

Lu Ping was slightly startled.

"Of course I won't go out. I will lock the door and quietly wait for my transformation to end in the room. Don't worry, I have already done a good job of protecting the windows and doors."

Lupine showed Ian his series of precautions.

The little wizard nodded slightly.

"Hmm, that's good. The senior has prepared so well, so he won't mind if I add some more protective measures?" Ian asked in a tea-talking style.

"Well...of course not."

Lupine only hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreed. He also had an understanding of the little wizard's alchemy level. The level of someone who could learn from Nick Flamel certainly couldn't be weak.

"Are you going to reinforce the walls of my room?" Seeing the little wizard taking out a coil of silk thread and starting to compose a picture on the wall, Lu Ping immediately wanted to contribute to the renovation of this safe house.

only.

He had just walked up to the little wizard. When he saw what the little wizard took out, his body movements immediately froze, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead again.

"These things...should be explosive, right?" Lupine saw Ian fixing the small square boxes on the wall, and the red light that continued to flash on them made him feel frightened.

As the [Moon Face] on the original Marauder's Map, the Alchemy Level of the Lost Werewolf was at least higher than that of most ordinary wizards, so he immediately recognized the danger of these small square boxes.

"Of course, as long as they are installed in your room, if the structure of the wall is severely damaged, they will produce an explosion powerful enough to tear apart a full-grown troll."

Ian glanced at Lupine in surprise. He really didn't expect Lupine to have such good eyesight. After saying that, he continued to install the small square box in Lupin's room.

"Um..."

The sweat on Lupine's forehead became more intense.

"Are you talking about the safety protection measures?"

He reminded the little wizard a little tactfully that he didn't need such a thing.

only.

"It's just a safety protection measure. Don't worry, this kind of explosion is very safe. It only explodes inward, not outward, and will not affect innocent people who may be passing by outside."

The little wizard's confident explanation immediately left Lupine speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he finally understood what the safety measures Ian was talking about were.

Dare to love.

It's to kill me.

Are you safe?

"..."

With such a depressed expression on his face, Lupine saw Ian decorating the room, then watched as Ian waved to him, opened the door and ran towards the restaurant.

"Click~"

After using magic to close the door and lock it, Lupine finally couldn't hold himself any longer.

"Wu's Orphanage...there must be something to say about this ghost place..." Looking at the densely beating small square boxes on the wall, Lu Ping didn't know if he had an illusion. He thought of the other wizard who walked out from here, and there was always a feeling in his heart that he might be better than his master.

"If you want me to keep an eye on such a guy... Dumbledore still trusts me too much!" There were thousands of words in his heart, but in the end they just turned into a sigh from Lupine's mouth.

Until now, he has not thought about running away.

This is definitely true loyalty to Albus Dumbledore.

……

Time passes day by day. After returning from Knockturn Alley, Ian focused on research and study. During this long vacation, every day seemed both free and full of planning.

Time passed quietly in the sound of the friction between the pen tip and the paper. A fulfilling life, with some small discoveries and progress made every day, has diluted Ian's anxiety about the "cooling down period" of the trance.

The most direct manifestation of this emotion is that he used to beat black-robed skeletons every morning, noon and evening, but now he only beats black-robed skeletons a few times in the morning and evening.

The suitcase given by Albus Dumbledore was always just for carrying clothes and groceries. It was not as wide as Newt's, which also left the black-robed skeleton with no place to hide in it.

Whenever it squeals after being beaten, the dementor will hide in the corner and secretly giggle. This may be the only happiness that Ian's dementor can derive.

This happiness is absolutely precious to Dementors.

Otherwise, it would not still be happy to watch Ian beat the black-robed skeleton every time, and the black-robed skeleton would take it out on it afterwards.

"You are so mean!" Ian would sometimes use Dementors to vent his anger. In the summer season, when there was no air conditioning, he would often release the dementors to use them as air conditioners.

The effect of the clam air conditioner is so great that the temperature will drop to a refreshing level in a second. If the Dementor is stuffed into the ventilation duct, the temperature in the old building will become quite suitable.

The effect is completely comparable to the [Corpse Preservation Curse] invented by Aurora. Yes, Ian often communicates with his good friends, and the speed of Dark Phoenix's letter delivery is just a little slower than the Internet.

However, Aurora was always busy, and the speed of replying to letters was always uncertain. Ian guessed that maybe she was taking advantage of the summer vacation to secretly study practical courses behind everyone's back.

If not.

[Corpse Preservation Curse] [One-Second Bone Removal Curse] [Tianling Cap Fountain Curse] [Dung Maggot Explosion Curse] These magics that seem to be quite underworld to Ian will never be shared with him by Aurora again and again.

In particular, the last [Dung Maggot Explosion Curse] is incredible, as it can directly transform all food residues in the intestinal cavity of a target into dung maggots in an instant.

It's really hard to imagine what kind of mental state Aurora was in when she researched these improved spells. Perhaps it's because in her opinion, little wizards have always been more fond of such evil spells?

"Even if you are like me in the underworld, you still think these curses are too outrageous..." Ian did not dampen Aurora's desire to share. He also shared his research results with this Germanic girl.

He didn't have any new achievements in terms of magic spells, but by studying the blood of werewolves, he also successfully discovered some key ingredients in the [Awakening Potion].

This allowed him to achieve a breakthrough in improving the [Wolfsbane Potion]. However, for several months, the contaminant nature of the werewolf still troubled him.

This was also something that [Ling Awakening Potion] could not eradicate and cure. It was indeed not a problem that could be solved simply. Ian, who had no progress in making a breakthrough, turned to researching two products.

That is the [Werewolf Potion] created based on the contagious characteristics of werewolf blood, and the [Quick Healing Potion] extracted and produced based on the self-healing ability of werewolf blood.

First of all, the advantage of [Werewolf Potion] is that it does not need to enter the target's body. It only needs to be sprinkled on the target to successfully transform the target into a werewolf. The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, this transformation is a permanent transformation, which will make the transformed person no different from other werewolves born from normal infection.

"It's still the reason why the infection cannot be controlled."

This shortcoming is not impossible to solve, but Ian has no solution yet. The limit of what he can achieve is the effect of [Extreme Healing Potion].

The user can self-heal all diseases and wounds on the body within thirty minutes. Since only certain key components related to self-healing are extracted from werewolf blood, its infectivity is very low, as long as it is discontinued. If you drink it for ten or eight days, you basically don't have to worry about turning into a werewolf after drinking it.

certainly.

There are also disadvantages.

That means the cost is extremely expensive.

It takes ten kilograms of werewolf blood to extract a bottle of [Rapid Healing Potion], and there are potions with similar effects in the wizarding world, but the effect is not as obvious but the cost is much lower.

"Anyway, at this stage, these two works cannot be called mature works." Ian is not discouraged. He knows that it will only be a matter of time before he overcomes the problem.

As the level of [Proficiency in Potion Science] increases, he will definitely be able to perfect these two potions one day. The confidence coming from Guabi means that he will never be confused.

"Studying and research always make people feel fulfilled." Sometimes when Ian was resting, he would lie in the yard of the orphanage and watch the setting sun in the sky dye the horizon orange.

As the sun rises and the moon sets again, time passes quietly like quicksand on the fingertips. Life is always day after day, weaving a unique chapter that belongs to summer.

It's early morning again.

On a day gently embraced by the warm sunshine, the small courtyard of the orphanage was filled with laughter and laughter. This day was a special day for Ian.

July 7th - that was his birthday.

Although the orphanage is simple, every inch of space is full of love and hope. The dean, Ms. Elena, a woman who always has a gentle smile, has secretly planned a small surprise for Ian. She knows that for every child, a birthday is not only an increase in age, but also proof that they are remembered and loved.

So almost every orphan can get as much celebration as possible from Ms. Elena on their birthday, and most of the orphans’ birthdays are when she picked them up. No need for pen and paper, no need to record, Ms. Ileana never forgets the beginning of her story and that of every child.

As the late afternoon sun crept up onto the window lattice, the small restaurant of the orphanage was decorated warmly and uniquely.

Colorful balloons swayed gently, a hand-drawn banner of "Happy Birthday Ian" was hung on the wall, a much richer meal than usual and a small cake were things that were never missing.

"Make a wish." Ms. Elena personally put on a celebratory hat for Ian.

"Yeah."

Ian closed his eyes, silently recited his wish, and then blew out the candle that symbolized his entry into the twelve-year-old stage. The children, who had been waiting for a long time, all got a small piece of cake.

"What wish did you make?" Lupine was also there to celebrate Ian's birthday. He was curious about what kind of desires a child like the little wizard had in his heart.

"What do you think?"

Ian blinked and didn't answer.

The little girl next to him, Mia, who had been staring at the cream he picked out from his plate, had difficulty temporarily removing her gaze from the cream.

"Your wish won't work if you say it. Uncle Lupin, you must be causing trouble." The little girl spoke righteously, with a firm tone, and her childish voice had the innocence of a child.

"..."

Lupine didn't know how to answer the question at all. He originally only wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the ambitions in the little wizard's heart, but he never thought that he would actually become a villain in the eyes of the child.

"It's my fault."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

He saw several children looking at him, and he could only admit his mistake with a ashamed expression. The little wizard smiled happily and silently took out his small notebook and wrote down what happened today.

[Today, Qingqing, Senior Lu Ping had evil intentions towards me, and I was almost deceived by my naivety. Fortunately, I am very popular, so I avoided an encounter that would make the listener cry when I smell the sadness. 】

He seems to still be writing the truth, but he has learned to use rhetorical techniques more frequently, and the expression of exaggerated sentences has obviously been mastered by the little wizard.

"What are you doing?"

Mia curiously came over to see Ian's little notebook.

However.

Ian, who stuffed the small notebook into his arms in time, did not let the little girl succeed. If anyone in the entire orphanage likes the big mouth the most, it must be this ghostly girl with Gryffindor House characteristics.

"Where's my gift? Mia! Didn't you prepare a birthday gift for me?" After putting away the notebook, Ian diverted Mia's attention with a confident request.

"How is that possible! Of course I am prepared!" Mia immediately took out the birthday gift she had prepared. It was a small box wrapped in exquisite paper.

"Ian, this is the sound of the sea. I hope you are as happy as I am when I hear the waves every day." Mia's gift box contained her most beloved shell necklace that she had collected for a long time.

"Me! And me! I also prepared a gift for you!"

"Look at mine first! Ian! Look at my gift first!"

"This is all my wealth! They can only belong to you!"

……

With Mia's beginning.

The children rushed to Ian's face holding their gift boxes. They used their most sincere hearts to prepare a series of profound gifts for Ian.

Tom, a little boy with a shy smile, gave Ian a small piece of wood that he had carved by himself. The piece of wood was not smooth, and was even a little rough, but the words "Best Brother" were engraved on it.

And Jack, what he gave to Ian was a Bible with yellowing pages and some wear on the cover. But Jack said that this book had accompanied him through countless lonely nights and given him endless comfort and strength. Now, he wants to pass on this power to Ian, and may God protect Ian at all times.

Also giving books was Daniel. He gave him a copy of "The Witch Doctor's Decryption" written by his grandmother. Ian flipped through it. Even from the perspective of a feudal wizard, he felt that this book was too outrageous.

Some of these recipes.

Just listening to it makes me sick to my stomach.

It is said that this book has been given to Daniel's family for eighteen generations... Of course, Ian couldn't refuse the gift from his friend. He still thanked Daniel for the gift with a smile on his face. Perhaps by taking this book, Daniel can break the "curse" of his family's average age being no more than thirty.

"This! This is my gift!" Catherine also held a painting she drew tightly in her hand - in the painting, Ian and all his friends were running happily on the grass.

She happily handed the painting to Ian, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"The painting is very good. I think I should frame it in my room and hang it with my several Van Gogh works. Maybe you will become an extremely good painter in the future."

Ian offered Catherine encouragement.

"I...Ian, I, I don't want to just be a painter, you know."

There was a bit of exaggerated joy in Catherine's eyes, but there was also a bit of uneasy hesitation. The expectation for the magical world has always been in this little girl's heart.

"No problem, of course no problem... You will definitely be able to make your dreams come true. Come on, let's have a drink." Ian poured a glass of blue sparkling water for Catherine.

The little girl didn't hesitate.

He drank it all into his stomach.

She still had some unfinished thoughts.

The other children immediately clamored for a drink, and Ian happily poured a cup for everyone, but the color of the water poured out was much lighter than Catherine's cup.

Fortunately, the children didn't care about this. They just wanted to drink the drinks poured by Ian, the eldest brother. The sound of drinking water could be heard in the restaurant.

"This is my gift."

Lu Ping was also a little embarrassed at this time and handed over a small box. After Ian opened it, there was a greeting card inside. It was estimated that the greeting card was not as expensive as the box outside.

"Thank you, Senior Luping."

Ian also gave Lupine a smile.

He knows.

This down-and-out werewolf is really poor. If I could squeeze out a little money to buy him a greeting card and bring him a box, it would probably be considered a huge hemorrhage after Lu Ping took out his wallet.

"You also know my situation..." Lu Ping obviously felt that his gift was too shabby, so the expression on his face was quite embarrassing.

"On your birthday, happiness is the most important thing."

Ian gave Lupine a hug.

He was a little wizard who remembered things very well, so he decided not to report anything to Lupine for three days as a small reward for Lupine spending money on gifts for himself.

"And you haven't seen my gift yet!"

One after another, the children all gave Ian gifts.

Every gift carries the orphans' deep blessings and care for Ian. They may not have gorgeous appearance or expensive price, but the innocent friendship is more precious than any material thing. In Ian's view, these gifts are not just items, but also witnesses of the deep friendship between him and his friends in the orphanage.

A beautiful memory of the happy times they spent together. In this large unrelated family, Ian is not alone, and everyone is not alone.

The celebration and joy continued all day long. In addition to the blessings and company of his relatives, after Ian returned to the room, he also had gifts from his friends at Hogwarts. However, Ian, who had just taken a shower and was about to open gifts, heard rapid footsteps outside his room door.

“Dong dong dong~”

There's a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was equally urgent.

"Who? I'm already asleep."

Although Ian could sense the emotions and thoughts of people outside, he still asked questions knowingly. The main reason was that after changing into his nightgown, he didn't want to open the door and communicate with others.

"Ian! It's me! I'm Lupin!"

The honest werewolf obviously didn't understand the subtext of Ian's words. While he was talking, he kept knocking on the door, and the loud noise made the entire door frame shake.

"Hey!"

With no other choice, Ian could only put on his own clothes and waved his magic wand. The next moment, the sleeping room was transformed into an extremely spacious laboratory - he slightly made hundreds of millions of changes to his room. The magical transformation allowed ordinary rooms and laboratories to overlap in this small world.

The unpopular noseless one can build a fireplace, and the little wizard can certainly transform his own room.

"What's the matter at night? Don't you go out at night?" Ian opened the door and let Lupine in. He was very dissatisfied with Lupine's interruption to him.

"Today is different!"

Lupine looked around, not wanting to marvel at Ian's transformation of this room.

"What's going on with that little girl?" His eyes were on Ian, with a somewhat tentative look in his eyes, and his seemingly calm voice could not hide his rapid breathing.

Obviously, Lu Ping's heart was obviously not as calm as he showed now.

"Which little girl?"

Ian sat in front of an experimental table and began to open gifts from his classmates. Michael gave him a magic oven, and I don’t know if he dismantled the oven at home.

"It's so big!"

Ian looked at the oven, which was two meters long and half a meter wide. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and let out a heartfelt exclamation. He now began to suspect that Michael had found a crematorium from somewhere.

Compared with the size that can easily make barbecue for twenty people, the function of cooking barbecue without electricity is a must-have attribute for killing people and stealing goods.

"Hiss~"

Lupine was also stunned by the size of the oven, but he was obviously still in no mood to care about the oven. The things in his mind that kept him awake most of the night were too frightening.

"Of course it's the little girl named Catherine. I've observed it before. She should be a squib." Lupine swallowed in a hoarse voice.

"Then what?"

Ian didn't look back.

He continued to sit in front of the table opening gifts.

Qiu Zhang prepared a beautiful magic bouquet for Ian. This bouquet of flowers is not only colorful and fragrant, but more importantly, each flower contains different magic.

They emit different scents depending on weather conditions.

"This is simply unbelievable. Just now, I felt her magic power being active. If there are no accidents, she will have her own magic awakening next year!"

Lupine's voice was full of extreme shock and a little bit of horror.

"This should be a good thing, why do you look so panicked?" Ian stopped what he was doing, with a somewhat satisfied smile on his face.

"It seems that my sister is also going to be my junior schoolmate." He finally put down the gift box in his hand, turned around and asked Lupine in a brisk tone, who looked serious.

"Do you know when the list of freshmen will be entered into the Book of Admission?" This is something that Ian has not studied before, but he feels that the troublemaker group back then may have been involved.

"One year before school starts..."

really.

Lupine knew the answer.

They may not have access to the Book of Admission and the Pen of Acceptance, but they have researched and investigated this rumored artifact in Hogwarts when they were students.

"It seems that there is still plenty of time." Ian was in a good mood. He put aside the idea of ​​taking out the notebook to recall in three days, and magnanimously decided not to care about Lupine staying up late at night to harass him.

"My intuition tells me that this must have something to do with you." Lupine had seen Ian's impossible achievements in magic, so he felt that Ian's achievements in potions might be the same.

This is a little wizard who cannot use common sense to judge and cannot use normal thinking to figure out.

"Don't trust your intuition, believe in science... no, believe in magic." Ian corrected his wording in time, but it did not make Lupine give up searching for the answer.

"Magic has been proven for thousands of years, and it is almost impossible for a person who has become a Squib to possess it again... And today, without anything major happening, the life of a little Squib girl has been reversed..." The meaning expressed in Lupine's language is very obvious.

He still suspected that the upheaval in Catherine had something to do with Ian.

Of course, this was not what made Lupine feel the most sleepless night tonight, so he did not hesitate to violate the rules he had set for himself and come to the little wizard to find out the real reason for the situation.

"Is it the kind of water you gave her to drink?" Lupine is not a stupid person. On the contrary, as long as Gryffindor students are willing to think, they are not much worse than Ravenclaw students.

He just briefly sorted out what happened throughout the day, and immediately noticed something strange, and it was this strange thing that made him unable to calm down at all.

"I remember that you gave all the children that kind of water to drink." This was what Lupine thought was most terrifying. Catherine was not the only one who drank that blue potion.

If...things were really what he thought...would this cause more than just earth-shaking?

"I know what you are worried about. Don't be so sensitive. The water Catherine drank will only have an effect on Squibs." Ian saw Lupine's firm expression and knew that there was no point in denying it.

"So! Is it really what I think!?"

Lupine's pupils suddenly contracted violently several times. Although he had already expected it, he still felt filled with disbelief when he got the exact answer.

"Maybe, probably, maybe?"

Ian used several uncertain words in succession.

"..."

Lupine still wasn't used to the character of the little wizard. He clenched his fists and paced back and forth in the room, looking increasingly uneasy and worried.

"Have you told anyone about this? You should tell your uncle. No, you should tell Dumbledore directly. I'm afraid you don't understand how much danger such a potion will cause you."

Lupine was indeed worried about the little wizard's safety. Of course, his complicated emotions also included worries about the chaos that would result if this potion was made public.

"You know, I know, no one else knows. If it leaks out, hey, the blame will definitely be on you." Ian is actually not worried about the danger of being coveted.

Not only is he very strong now, but he also has many life-saving cards.

"Huh?"

After hearing what Ian said, Lupine's pacing back and forth suddenly stopped, "Then you might as well not tell me. Damn it, why didn't you tell me just now that the God your dean believes in appeared!?"


One thing to say, the down-and-out werewolf at this moment does have some regrets. Knowing such a secret, even if he doesn't tell it, it will probably add another layer of psychological burden to him every night when he goes to sleep.

If time could flow again.

He hoped that the little wizard would tell him that this was a manifestation of God.

He will truly believe it.

Even if you don't believe it, pretend to believe it.

"Although Catherine is also a believer in God, even if God really exists in the world, have you ever seen Him really help all of His believers?"

Ian turned around again and opened the gift.

"But your potion, this invention..." Lu Ping stopped talking for a moment and chose to use a more tactful way to tell the little wizard the seriousness of the problem.

"You should hide it until you are really qualified to take it out. Really, I bet that if the same potion came from your uncle, he would not dare to take it out and use it."

"The harm this kind of thing can cause is immeasurable...I'm not saying you can't use it to help those poor squibs, but you should at least discuss it with Principal Dumbledore." Lupine felt that such a potion could help Albus .Dumbledore's name may be able to control the situation that may arise after it is announced and used.

"My strength is pretty good?"

Ian tilted his head.

"Look, the wizard family's overture." He was holding an invitation letter from the Greengrass family, which was sent together with a gift from Miss Daphne Greengrass.

Perhaps including the gift itself, it was all selected by Miss Daphne Greengrass's parents and given in Miss Daphne Greengrass's name.

If not.

Ian has to suspect that Miss Daphne Greengrass has some masochistic tendencies.

"The benefits are heart-warming, kid." Lupine looked at the invitation in Ian's hand and sighed heavily. He felt that the little wizard might not quite understand the sinister nature of people in this world.

"I can't see Catherine's expectation of going to Hogwarts go to waste, right?" Ian actually knew what Lupine meant, but he felt that he already had sufficient conditions to deal with it.

"What you said is indeed correct, but..."

What else did Lupine want to say.

Ian shook his head and interrupted him.

"There is no but, Senior Luping, you should understand the importance of family ties better than I do. Being able to make your family happy must be more valuable than anything else."

The little wizard waved his magic wand, and the next moment, the laboratory became his room again. The gifts given to him by the children during the day were carefully placed in his room.

"Katherine follows Ms. Elena to pray to God every day. However, even though she has the blood of a wizard, God still chose to play a joke on his believer."

"I just corrected God's cruel joke... Wizards, magic, this is the meaning of our existence. While controlling our own destiny, we can also change the destiny of others."

Ian responded softly.

"You..."

Lupine's expression was a little stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Of course it wasn't that he really didn't understand, but at this moment, there was a faint voice in Lu Ping's heart telling him that he might be about to get a true glimpse into the innermost thoughts of the little wizard in front of him.

"It's a simple truth."

Ian looked at the painting given by Catherine.

He's up there.

There are people he cares about.

"For my friends and relatives, they may not get a response from God, but they will definitely get a response from me... Nothing should be impossible in front of a wizard."

Ian's tone was quite soft and forceful.

"Even if God doesn't allow it, he still can't defeat it...I must agree to it."

In this room with only two people.

He stared at the senior who looked increasingly horrified.

He once again elaborated on his understanding of "wizards are gods".
