Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 92 91: Have you heard? Ian's true identity!
Ian had certainly never met Gilderoy Lockhart before today.

However, as this guy is a particularly famous star in the wizarding world, Ian has seen posters of him more than once inadvertently in the bookstore in Diagon Alley or somewhere else.

It's really hard to pretend not to know him.

Perhaps the wizarding world lags behind the Muggles in many aspects, but it is definitely not behind in chasing stars. Gilderoy Lockhart himself also knows how to spend money to buy traffic for himself.

Even the packaging of some snacks has the co-branded packaging of Gilderoy Lockhart, which is definitely a popular traffic star that was decades earlier than Gege!
If you look at it from this perspective.

Isn't Gilderoy Lockhart also a genius? If he were not a wizard, he would have been able to come up with some time-defying tricks in various media companies in the Muggle world.

It was just a pity... Gilderoy Lockhart, as a wizard, obviously had the wrong talent. Ian really found it hard to imagine that an adult wizard could "kill" himself in front of a few second-year wizards.

If you were to choose the most unpopular professor among all the professors who have taught at Hogwarts, perhaps even an ace player like Severus Snape might not be able to make it into the top three.

But if we were to pick the most incompetent professor among all the professors in Hogwarts history, Gilderoy Lockhart would definitely be the uncrowned king in this field, with no one else to compare with him.

"Oh my God, you are Master Gilderoy Lockhart! How come I meet you here? I must be dreaming! Maybe it has something to do with the book you read a few days ago!" Although Ian was a little surprised and complained in his heart, he reacted quickly and showed his on-the-spot reaction.

Such exaggerated acting skills might be slammed by Snape, but when dealing with a narcissist like Master Gilderoy Lockhart, Ian felt that it just hit the opponent's sweet spot.

As expected, Gilderoy Lockhart's smile widened. "So you are still my fan. I think I should have brought a pen so that I can give you a collector's edition autograph."

As he said that, he really started to rummage through his robe, as if he had forgotten where he put his signature pen. After searching for half a day, he finally pulled out a rather exaggerated signature pen from the gap in the lining.

Not only is the pen body shining with gold, it is also inlaid with many sparkling little gems. I don't know if it feels uncomfortable to use. This is obviously a pen that may cost more than Ian's net worth.

"I found it! Ha! It's me after all!"

Gilderoy Lockhart held the pen in both hands, his face full of excitement. People who didn't know him would think he had just accomplished something great.

"Oh! He's still so boyish! So charming!"

Perhaps in the eyes of Madam Pince, who was not far away, with her hands clasped on her chest, feeling half a century younger, this was the uninhibited and special charm of Gilderoy Lockhart.

But in Ian's eyes.

But no matter how you look at him, he seems like a living treasure.

no way.

Gilderoy Lockhart.

In public, he is an internationally renowned author, a recipient of the Third Class Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a prominent wizard who has won the Witcher Weekly Most Charming Smile Award five times.

This naturally makes most people look at him with a filter. Otherwise, how can people not see through the fact that Lockhart is a fool based on his performance when he was supposed to come out more than two years later? Many of his fans think that his mistakes are just jokes to lighten the atmosphere.

Only a few professors could see that something was wrong. This is actually the powerful effect of reducing intelligence brought by the fan filter, which is even more powerful than the "brain storage".

As someone who knew the truth about this guy, Ian found it almost difficult not to regard him as a clown - after all, Gilderoy Lockhart's books and the so-called adventures he talked about were actually despicable thefts of other people's experiences. His only outstanding talents were probably just two things.

Outstanding eloquence and marketing EQ.

And... the ability to "reset talent points" that even Dumbledore might find difficult to figure out.

"I can actually get your autograph! Oh! This is really Merlin's blessing!" No matter what Ian thought in his heart, he still had to maintain his acting skills on the surface.

After all, Gilderoy Lockhart is a well-known petty person. If he were to make things difficult for you unreasonably, his methods would be much more painful than Snape's.

"Where do you want me to sign? On this book? You are really lucky!" Gilderoy Lockhart was eager to sign on the Alchemy Deciphered: The Connection Between Everything in Ian's hand. Fortunately, Ian dodged quickly, thus preventing an ancient artifact from being destroyed.

Although he also wanted to see whether Madam Pince, who loved books like her life, would choose books or her idol if she saw her perfect idol blaspheming books, he suppressed his curiosity and took out a Marauder's Map from his robe that he always carried with him.

"Sign here! Only this parchment belongs to me! I don't want to share your signature with other students!" Ian also found a suitable excuse for his dodgy behavior.

He is still too comprehensive.

Gilderoy Lockhart was very satisfied with Ian's excuse.

"Hahaha, you're right, I almost forgot that this is a book that doesn't belong to you. If he got my signature, I don't think even Dumbledore would be willing to share it with others." The pen in Gilderoy Lockhart's hand is extremely high-end. The tip of the pen will automatically rotate out when you hold it in contact with the paper.

"In fact, I have already given Dumbledore a limited edition signed book. It is my work that will be released next year. Dumbledore was so happy when he got it."

"Can you believe it? The greatest white wizard in the world is also a fan of mine. I saw his collection in his office. He must be too embarrassed to mention his fanaticism towards me to others."

Gilderoy Lockhart was simply talking nonstop. While signing, he still did not forget to brag about himself. Although Gilderoy Lockhart tried his best to pretend that he was just talking casually, Ian was too familiar with that kind of taste of trying to cover up.

"Perhaps our principal is a shy person?"

Ian also played a qualified supporting role.

This made Gilderoy Lockhart suddenly realize.

"Yes, that's right. You are indeed a smart little wizard. You are right to remind me that the headmaster of Hogwarts is a shy person. This can certainly be forgiven."

Gilderoy Lockhart was so happy that the corners of his mouth were about to split to the back of his head.

"Many thanks!"

Ian pretended to be excited as he took the signed Marauder's Map. Before it was "turned on", it was just an ordinary piece of parchment.

of course.

Now it has become a valuable Lockhart limited edition Marauder's Map. Ian thinks Gilderoy Lockhart's reputation should be able to sell for a high price before the collapse. Well, if Gilderoy Lockhart died before being exposed, perhaps it could be sold at a sky-high price with the title of the last signature.

Ian thought thoughtfully.

"I'm not so nice to every little wizard. Believe me, it will bring you good luck." Gilderoy Lockhart casually put the signature pen into his robe.

"It's my good fortune to meet you here." Ian's answer was flawless. Perhaps Mr. Morgan's evaluation of some of his qualities was indeed correct.

Gilderoy Lockhart was very pleased and laughed again. "You are right. It seems that you will become my favorite student in this year of teaching at Hogwarts."

"If Dumbledore hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have wanted to come back here. When I was a student, I was too outstanding, so I was once excluded and discriminated against by many people."

"I hope that such a trend no longer exists. If you encounter a similar situation, please remember to tell me. The professor's authority should be used to deal with such matters." Gilderoy Lockhart blinked at Ian. His words contained some truth.

Gilderoy Lockhart was once an outstanding student who graduated from Ravenclaw. He even passed several difficult exams that were recognized by the entire wizarding world.

This is why his book can deceive so many people. It seems that as time goes by, this guy seems to have washed all his "talent points" in other aspects into the forgetfulness spell.

No one knows how this was done.

Perhaps it was because Gilderoy Lockhart had always been pursuing fame, and his excellence in school was just for fame, but after he became an adult, he shifted the way to gain fame to other places. Or maybe this situation was the sequelae of the Oblivion Spell, and the Oblivion Spell cast with malicious intent would eventually make the caster suffer the consequences?
It’s really hard to explain.

Even in an idealistic worldview, the speculation that Gilderoy Lockhart was just too dependent on the Oblivion Charm, so that he subconsciously disdained other magic he had learned, seems to make sense.

"If something like that really happens, I will ask you for help... You are such a good professor." Ian continued to use his auspicious words to fool the stupid performer in front of him.

In fact, he was more willing to believe that Gilderoy Lockhart's ancestors might have had a blood fusion with some magical creature that could "cleanse" itself.

"This is not the first time I've heard others praise me like this, but I still really like this kind of evaluation that comes from your heart. If you can continue to perform so well in class tomorrow, I think that will be the best reward for me." Gilderoy Lockhart's hint seemed very obvious.

Ian immediately understood and nodded.

"Tonight, all of Hogwarts will know that we have a wonderful new professor."

He gave an answer.

Although Ian did not intend to advertise for Gilderoy Lockhart, given Gilderoy Lockhart's fame, the other little wizards would certainly spare no effort to spread the word after seeing it. He only needed to enjoy the results of their publicity and tell Gilderoy Lockhart tomorrow that he had made a great contribution.

"I don't really want to be so conspicuous..."

Gilderoy Lockhart's hair immediately shook with joy.

"You are such a lovely little guy. Go back and read this book carefully. You will definitely gain something from it." Gilderoy Lockhart patted the ancient book that had been handed to Ian.

"This book..."

After Ian realized who the person who was approaching him was, he began to doubt the book "Alchemy Deciphered: The Connection Between Everything". Is this really a book that can help him?

It was recommended by Gilderoy Lockhart! If it weren't for the title of Ms. Ravenclaw's book, Ian would even want to find a reason to put it back on the bookshelf.

of course.

Such behavior is likely to offend Gilderoy Lockhart.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Ian could only comfort himself by saying that Gilderoy Lockhart was a writer after all, and he had been a top student, so his ability to select books might not be as bad as magic. After all, this guy saw what he was looking for, which at least proved that he still had some real things in his mind.

"I remember there will be a Defense Against the Dark Arts class for first-year wizards tomorrow morning. Don't be late. I have spent a lot of time preparing some very interesting practice props for you little wizards." Gilderoy Lockhart patted Ian on the shoulder as he accompanied Ian to the gate.

Ian felt that this sounded familiar.

The last Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who said something like this to him seemed to have died that night... I wonder how long Gilderoy Lockhart can hold on to this position with his toughness.

"You told me too early. I might be so excited that I won't be able to sleep tonight." Ian's ability to lie with open eyes is actually no less than Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Hahaha, my bad, my bad." Gilderoy Lockhart patted Ian's head happily. "If you are still my favorite student until the end of this semester, then perhaps you will get an extremely precious gift, a treasure that I have never shown to anyone."

If another professor had said this, Ian would probably have been a little excited, but since it was Gilderoy Lockhart who spoke, Ian felt that the so-called treasure was not difficult to guess.

It must be some kind of narcissistic thing like a life photo or a signed book... This is Gilderoy Lockhart. If not, Ian would even be willing to sit at the table next to Hermione Granger when she eats.

"See you tomorrow, Professor Lockhart."

Ian politely registered for the book. Before he left, he glanced at Madam Pince, who seemed to have transformed into a young girl. Gilderoy Lockhart had already begun bragging about his past to Madam Pince.

This was a seamless change of audience that could please him. Unlike Ian's perfunctory words, the librarian Madam Pince seemed to really believe Gilderoy Lockhart's boasting. She must have lost her mind, otherwise how could a normal person believe the absurd statement that someone could kill a dragon with bare hands after losing his wand?
Outside the library.

"No, I need to check."

Ian opened the ancient book in his hand and read a few pages with some concern. He was relieved after confirming that it was indeed an alchemy book written by Ravenclaw.

He was really worried that the book was actually a copy of "Magic Me". It was not impossible for Gilderoy Lockhart to use the cover of an extremely precious book as the cover of his own book.

"Well, it seems that the recent Defense Against the Dark Arts class can only be said to be...if any." Ian sighed slightly and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some more midnight snacks to prepare for tonight's small class.

Maybe the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is a fool, but that’s not a completely bad thing for him. At least when he teaches this kind of small class, there will definitely be many people paying to attend his classes.

"I am the only one who was hurt. I am afraid that I will not be able to gain any bonus from the professor in terms of learning the knowledge of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the short term."

Ian looked back every few steps.

I wonder how long Gilderoy Lockhart will be unable to withstand the curse?
The library is getting further and further away.

Gilderoy Lockhart and Mrs. Pince were still chatting and laughing inside.

The two chatted happily.

"You are wearing black today. I always thought you should prefer lavender." Madam Pings remembers her idol's preferences just like every star-chaser.

Hear the words.

The smile on Gilderoy Lockhart's face grew even wider. He looked towards the gate. The little wizard had just left, and his blue eyes seemed to still reflect his figure.

"Purple is nice, but I prefer black lately."

……

At a night party.

Ian still couldn't change the consensus that everyone had already reached by himself, and this ominous name remained the habitual name used by the young wizards to refer to Ian's small class.

We can only blame Ian for discovering it too late. He could only bite the bullet and accept it. After collecting the tuition fees from everyone, he taught everyone the relevant content using the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's already Schrodinger-like psychology.

Since he also had to teach the little wizard the part that a real professor was responsible for, he had to start with the purpose and importance of Defense Against the Dark Arts and the difference between black magic and white magic.

Perhaps for some children from pure-blood families, they have already been exposed to this kind of knowledge at home, but there are also many young wizards from mixed-blood and Muggle families among Ravenclaw.

"We need to understand that the boundary between white magic and black magic is not just the harm they can cause, but also the emotions and desires that are used to drive the two types of magic when they are used."

"The reason why it is said that black magic eats away at people's hearts is actually because the stronger the negative emotions a wizard has, the more powerful the black magic effects he can produce will be."

"In pursuit of this ultimate power, most wizards lose control of their desires and negative emotions. This is a process of indulging themselves in depravity."

"It's like a thief. The more comfortable he steals, the more he wants to steal a bigger one. The ultimate result of letting himself degenerate is that he will become a crazy and terrifying dark wizard in the eyes of most people."

"White magic is driven by positive emotions. It is not weaker than black magic. If your positive emotions are strong enough, you can still defeat all the black magic in the world."

"..."

Of course, Ian's lectures are mixed with some of his own understanding. This is a problem that no scholar or professor can avoid. Everyone will incorporate his own thoughts into the process of learning and understanding.

After leading everyone to a preliminary understanding of the dark magic and defense against the dark magic, Ian was just about to begin the real magic teaching when a young wizard raised his hand to ask a question.

"Professor Ian, do you know any black magic?" The inquiring eyes came from the Chocolate Frog Boy. His question immediately made more than a dozen pairs of little eyes look up at Ian.

"..."

Ian really wanted to say that was another price, but he obviously couldn't openly hold an evil dark wizard gathering for gold Galleons, so he could only choose a tricky way to respond.

"Dumbledore has praised me for having 20% ​​of his charm. Do you think the greatest white wizard in the world knows black magic?" Ian's words made all the young wizards look disappointed.

For the unknown.

Any little wizard can't help but be curious.

"But isn't your uncle Snape? I heard that he knows a lot of dark magic..." A little wizard lowered his voice, with a somewhat timid tone.

Ian's facial expression was almost out of control, but fortunately he tensed up in time and asked a question in time, "Whose ancestors haven't had a few people who went astray? At least my uncle has turned over a new leaf now, right? It's his business that he knows black magic, but I don't necessarily know the same as him."

A very meaningful sentence.

No one noticed that the word "not necessarily" used by Ian was particularly subtle. The little wizards, who generally had brothers and sisters at home, immediately nodded sympathetically and agreed very much.

"Yes, yes, my brother is very bad and always likes to play tricks on me."

"To be honest, my uncle was actually a Death Eater. He died in the aftermath of the battle between You-Know-Who and Dumbledore. Our whole family said that this was a good thing worth celebrating." "My brother is also a bad guy. He has stolen three pairs of my underwear and sold them."

……

Finally managed to fool it.

Ian waited for the little wizards to chatter about whose relative was worse, then he signaled for everyone to be quiet and began to teach the little wizards a spell he had just learned not long ago.

"There are many obstacles!"

Ian waved his wand and cast a teaching spell. He let a dozen little wizards experience it each, the feeling as if something was blocking their way and they could not move forward.

This spell can temporarily prevent the enemy from approaching during a battle, and can also temporarily limit the opponent's range of movement. It can be regarded as a relatively practical magic when encountering an attack.

Of course, since wizards dominate the supernatural world today and swordsmanship has declined, the scope of application of the [Barrier Spell] will obviously not be as wide as it was a few centuries ago.

“It’s so hard to learn!”

"Why is this magic so difficult!?"

"Oh my god! Is this just introductory magic? I might as well let the black magic kill me!"

……

After starting to practice, even the young wizards from Ravenclaw made slow progress in learning the [Obstacle Spell]. It was indeed much more difficult than magic like the [Illumination Spell] and the [Levitation Spell].

Many young wizards tried many times and were corrected many times, but still found it difficult to complete the construction of the entire magic. This was also the first time that Ian encountered such a situation in the small class.

In the past.

These little wizards can all learn as long as Ian helps them sort out the details.

But the magic that they were going to learn today was an unfamiliar area to everyone. They hadn't even been able to step into the door of magic, so naturally they didn't even have the chance to let Ian help them with the details.

"When you wave your wand, the magic power must be driven along with it and you must keep your eyes on the target object."

Ian is still teaching his students hand in hand, but since the [Obstacle Spell] is indeed a blind spot in the knowledge of the young wizards, it is difficult for these young wizards to truly understand the essence of magic.

Ian discovered something that made him feel a little helpless.

"Can't you feel the rhythm of magic at all... that's it... that's it... look, it's moving, hiss, you're moving wrong! Wrong!"

Ian caught a mistake made by a young wizard, but could only see the young wizard's blank expression. He covered his forehead helplessly, realizing that there might be something wrong with his teaching.

"You really can't see any of that movement? Even just a tiny bit?"

But Ian still didn't give up.

"What's moving?"

Most of the young wizards looked at each other in bewilderment.

"My ears can move, look." Some little wizards wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so they controlled their ears to flutter, which caused many little wizards to be amazed.

"..."

Only Ian sighed.

It was obvious that no one understood what Ian was saying. Even Penelope, who had seen Ian pacing anxiously by the fire from a distance and had come over to watch the fun out of curiosity, was completely confused.

"Are you talking about the vision of the spirit world?" On the sofa in the lounge in the distance, Senior Sister Penelope leaned her hands on the backrest and poked her head out from above.

"what is that?"

Now it was Ian's turn to be confused.

"You haven't read that book. It's a special ability that Merlin possesses in the legend. It allows Merlin to blur and see the boundary between life and death to a certain extent, and to clearly understand the secrets of magic." Senior Penelope pointed to the bookshelf in the lounge and looked at Ian with a meaningful look.

"Ian, you can't expect everyone to learn magic the same way as you. Most of us are just groping in the dark, which is completely different from you being able to see where the road is." Penelope felt that she had insight into some secrets about this junior who had turned a disaster into a blessing for her.

The other party was asking about someone who had been dead for a long time, and didn't know that the person he was asking about was Dumbledore's sister. This has always been a mystery in Penelope's heart that she could not say but would definitely bother her.

During this time.

Penelope dreams of being a detective.

What exactly is the reason that caused this situation?
Until this time.

After hearing what Ian said when he was teaching the little wizard magic, Penelope felt that she had finally seen the truth - such similar coincidences and such similar abilities! It is said that Merlin once played around in the Slytherin College of Hogwarts under an alias, and this time it might be Ravenclaw's turn to be chosen!
You can also see the boundary between life and death!
You can also see some magical rhythms!

What other answer could there be?
No wonder several professors look at this junior so differently! Dumbledore even coerced and bribed this junior to establish an unbreakable oath with him! In Penelope's opinion, all the answers have surfaced - I'm afraid this junior's last name should not be Prince!

Instead, he should be called Ian Ambrosius!
This is……

Merlin's descendant has appeared!

"Senior, why do you look so weird?" Ian found that Penelope was not only staring at him, but also had a weird smile on her lips.

Is it a bit like Gilderoy Lockhart's confidence? How can this senior sister be so confident and boastful just because she has read a novel biography?

Ian was puzzled. Of course, the problem that troubled him now was obviously not to think about why the senior sister was so confident, but how to teach the young wizards the [Barrier Spell] safely and without any setbacks.

"So, I have to show everyone where the road is..." Ian pondered over Penelope's words just now, and he thought of his study on the isolated island in the misty fantasy world.

"Maybe I can do this."

Ian raised his wand and pointed it at the blazing fire in the fireplace. Wisps of flames were drawn out by him and began to construct pictures amid the exclamations of many little wizards.

Like a three-dimensional image.

The flames flow.

He analyzed and explained Ian's complete understanding of the [Obstacle Spell]. Although his current [Obstacle Spell] level was not high, it was enough to lead the young wizards towards the truth.

This is a special "magic book" constructed briefly by flames! What other teaching method is more suitable for the physique of the young wizards of Hogwarts than the teaching method of the founder of Hogwarts?

"What a beautiful flame!"

“It’s flowing, this rhythm…I think I understand!”

"What do you know? Oh! Tell me now! I'm so anxious!"

The little wizards were all mesmerized as they watched in amazement, gradually gaining some understanding...the knowledge was being understood and digested by them in a way they had never imagined.

"Can this still happen?"

Penelope and many senior students were dumbfounded.

Their feelings are more profound.

The flames dancing in the air seemed to be infused with Ian's understanding and will, constantly revealing and proving the essence of magic that connects everything and transcends the boundaries between matter.

A myriad of flames.

at this point.

Not just fire.

They are also the answer to learning the [Barrier Spell].

"I believe it."

The male class leader, Dietrich, stood next to Penelope, looking at the group of little wizards who occupied a corner every night, his voice filled with deep emotion that could not be expressed in words.

"What do you believe?"

Penelope turned her head curiously. Is there anyone as smart as herself? No way, isn't she the only one who knows the secret between Ian and Dumbledore?

"You haven't heard about it?" The male class leader Dietrick turned his head in surprise, and then looked at the little wizards. His eyes reflected Ian who was surrounded by the little wizards.

"That's the only statement that makes me feel this scene is reasonable - the news from Gryffindor is that Ian is most likely Dumbledore's child." The male class leader Dietrich deliberately lowered his voice so that the other senior wizards who had gathered around him would not hear.

Penelope's eyes widened instantly.

"what are you saying!?"

This was definitely a conversation Penelope had never expected. She had even anticipated that if the other party mentioned the descendants of Merlin, she would immediately play dumb and act like a troll.

Who would have thought it would be such an explosive idea!

"Don't talk nonsense. If the professors knew that you were spreading rumors about Dumbledore, you would definitely accidentally encounter the most difficult exam questions when you graduate."

Penelope didn't believe what the male class head, Dietrich, said at all. You know, Dumbledore was over a hundred years old. How could he have a child in his teens?
Everyone knows that Dumbledore never married or had children in his life, and dedicated his life to the beauty of this world! After getting Dumbledore's notes, Penelope still respected her principal very much.

"If it was just Gryffindor who said this, I wouldn't believe it, but there are rumors from Slytherin too. It's said that when they went to look for Snape, they happened to run into Snape alone in his office, looking very angry."

"The whole room was filled with a foul smell. Snape was guarding a red-hot cauldron like a madman. He didn't even notice the few students who heard the noise, opened his door and walked in."

"They kept saying that Dumbledore was just a piece of shit, that Dumbledore was just a hypocritical, false, cowardly, and lustful villain... The Slytherins said that Snape had discovered that Ian was Dumbledore's child, and that Dumbledore was shameless for secretly having an affair with a certain female princess and hiding it."

"Anyway, he cursed for a long time, and the curses were very harsh. The words of Slytherin students are still credible." The male class head Dietrich looked around as if he was afraid that he would become the source of gossip.

After saying that.

He also made a prayer gesture.

It was unclear whether to pray that Dumbledore would forgive him for the offense he had taken in repeating Snape's words, or that Merlin would protect him from being caught for spreading gossip.

"hiss……"

Penelope gasped and went over what she knew in her mind: what would happen if Ian Prince changed his last name to Ian Dumbledore.

Ok?
It seems that there is no problem? The outstanding talent, Dumbledore's attitude, and the attention given by the professors seem to be a very reasonable explanation?

Penelope is trying to understand everything.

She touched her chin as if she had turned into a famous Hogwarts detective.

"Yes! This is really great!"

Ian didn't know that in his senior's mind, he had already become a slave of Hogwarts. He was feeling happy that the little wizards he taught had all learned the [Barrier Spell].

Looking at his own increased proficiency, in order to stimulate the learning interest of the few remaining poor students, Ian began to patiently talk about the practicality of the [Obstacle Spell].

"It can also buy us some time when we are being chased by magical creatures." Ian gave a brief description of the possible application scenarios of the [Obstacle Spell].

Among the gathered little wizards, William, who had come to take the class for free, raised his hand. He was a typical poor guy, and the reward he gave to Ian was to help Ian complete all his homework.

This is indeed a reason that is difficult for Ian to refuse.

"Is there any problem, Mr. Smith?" Ian tried his best to act as if he was not familiar with William, even though everyone knew that William was suspected to be his lackey.

This can still be called avoiding suspicion.

"Don't I just need to run faster than everyone else?" Sure enough, something in William's bones was awakening. There must be some reasons why his family can still be together as usual.

"Well... that's not impossible." Ian felt that William might be more suitable to be a Death Eater. Such a tradition seemed to have always existed among Death Eaters.

Michael also raised his hand at this time.

"I have a better idea!"

His dark face was full of excitement, and his teeth were clearly visible in the light of the fire. His skin was even whiter than that of many white boys and even girls around him.

Perhaps whether it is the wizard or Muggle community, black people always have their own unique secret to whitening teeth.

"As everyone knows, we all hate Snape's mockery of us. If we can conjure up a Snape to mock the enemy, perhaps the enemy's firepower will be attracted by the Snape we conjured up! You should know that most of the wizards in the UK graduated from Hogwarts!"

You must prioritize attacking the enemy with taunting ability. Michael has wonderful ideas as always, making Ian feel as if he has been inspired by something.

"Genius! You are actually a genius!" Ian excitedly led the applause. He certainly didn't think that a Snape that he transformed into in a life-and-death battle could mock the enemy. But what if a Tom Riddle walked out from the corner? Or the one without a nose and making a weird laugh?

Who isn’t afraid of the warning from the big melon?
This definitely has some room for practical operations.

"Professor Ian, since you said Michael is a genius, why can't Ravenclaw get a point?" A young wizard livened up the atmosphere.

Students have very simple minds and it is easy for them to be happy when they get together. Perhaps many years later, when they look back, everyone present will still be deeply impressed by this day.

"Okay, okay! One point for Ravenclaw!" Ian was in a good mood and was happy to make a cameo appearance. After all, everyone had learned the [Obstacle Spell], and he felt a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

When everyone heard Ian's joking addition of points, they all cheered. The atmosphere was very joyful, as this was a grand gathering for knowledge seekers to gather together.

It starts with a selfish desire, a pursuit of knowledge, and a win-win situation.

Appeared quietly.

But it will not disappear quietly.

Fate made Ian choose to teach with fire.

Thus, a spark of fire is ignited. It will spread, diffuse, embrace everything, and then usher in the moment when it will be enough to set the whole prairie on fire - it has always been like this since ancient times.

……

The foyer of Hogwarts.

Silent night.

In the huge hourglass where the Wind Eagle was perched, a crisp and long sound suddenly sounded, and a gem slowly fell from the top of the hourglass to the bottom without anyone noticing.

Plus one point for Ravenclaw.
