Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"I almost forgot!" cried Ron. "Hey, you all! Little ones!"

"Ron!"

"Hey, that's right, they are so small..."

"Don't call them little ones, first years!" Hermione yelled sternly across the table, "This way, please!"

"Come on, it's time to lead you back to the common room and bedroom." Ivan said, standing up with Kate.

A group of freshmen came shyly from the aisle between the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables, each of them shrank back as much as possible, not daring to stand out.

They looked at Ivan, Harry, Ron and Hermione with blinking eyes.

There are more freshmen this year than usual, and they look really small and immature.

"There are too many people, don't these guys know how to make way for the freshmen?" Hermione said dissatisfied.

Crowds of people blocked the door, because Umbridge just delayed too long, and everyone wanted to hurry back now.

Compared with those strong senior students, the little ones around the prefects have no advantage at all.

"Don't worry, let me handle it!" Ivan said, and he took out his wand.

Chapter 924 The Pushy Gryffindor

"What are you going to do?" Hermione asked cautiously, looking at his wand.

"It's very simple, if you don't let other people get close, you don't have to worry about being pushed." Aiwen said, sparks emerged from the end of the wand, "It is necessary to protect the first-year freshmen, these guys should realize this, and finally At least be polite."

As the chairman of the student union, it is Aiwen's responsibility to maintain order.

In this messy situation, yelling like the prefects won't help, and Ivan doesn't plan to do that.

He raised his wand high, and an orange-red magic barrier flashed from the end of his wand.

The barrier expanded very quickly, and its scope was getting bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, the freshmen of the first grade were surrounded in the middle, and the students of other grades outside were gently pushed away.

They pushed the magic barrier with their hands, as if there was a layer of soft glass separating them from the first-year students.

After reaching a certain level of precise control over magic power, Aiwen became more and more comfortable using such magic.

The originally noisy auditorium suddenly became quiet, and everyone opened their eyes wide, looking in disbelief at the magic barrier that suddenly appeared centered on the Gryffindor table and Ivan, who was holding his wand high in the center of the crowd, What kind of magic is this?

It's amazing, completely beyond everyone's understanding.

In the blink of an eye, the peaceful hall of the auditorium boiled again, and they started talking again, pointing at Ivan.

As for the first-year Gryffindors in the barrier, everyone was so excited and looked at Ivan adoringly.

If it was because of Aiwen's status as the chairman of the boys' student union before, then it is because of his powerful magical power now!

"It's really simple, but isn't it too high-profile to do so?" Hermione said, their place has become the center of the auditorium.

"What you want is such a high profile!" Ivan replied.

If it follows the practice of the former chairman of the boys' student union, it is estimated that many people will not know who he is.

Even if they knew, they might not necessarily obey his orders, just like Percy, no one took what he said seriously.

On the contrary, the Hogwarts Student Union is constantly challenging the authority of the prefects and the student council president, and never tires of it.

It doesn't matter if points are deducted or confinement is imposed, who cares...

Only by showing a certain strength can everyone be truly convinced.

Why Dumbledore is called the greatest white wizard in the world, not because he is the headmaster of Hogwarts, nor because of his other status and age, but because his magical power is the strongest in the world , no one dares to underestimate.

Unlike the rules in the Muggle world, although the wizarding world has changed a lot, in general the strong are still respected.

Under the current circumstances, in order to be united within Hogwarts, there must be someone who can stand up and lead everyone.

Since Dumbledore made Ivan the chairman of the student union, he hoped that he could take on this responsibility.

If you want to take on this responsibility, you must show your strength and prove that you are qualified.

Not surprisingly, Ivan's performance today is enough to shock everyone, and his deeds will be recited again.

Everyone knew that Aiwen was powerful, but they didn't know how strong he was, and it was rare to see him use magic.

To judge others by oneself, everyone has a bottom line for Aiwen's strength in their minds, and there are many people who are lucky like Gleason.

They never dreamed that a 14-year-old wizard would be so powerful.

This is not logical or common sense, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen in their worldview.

But Aiwen broke common sense and told everyone with facts that he has no upper limit...

His performance today will leave a deep impression on everyone's minds. It is conceivable that after witnessing his great strength, many plots secretly planned because of him becoming the chairman of the Boys' Student Union should come to an abrupt end.

"Everyone, step back and let the first-year freshmen go first!" Ivan shouted.

In fact, without him saying it, everyone was backing away to make room as much as possible. Following the guidance of Ron and Hermione, the team of first-year freshmen moved forward.

Even students who are still stupidly standing still at the door will be pushed aside by Aiwen's magic barrier.

Under the watchful eyes of the whole school, the first-year Gryffindors excitedly followed Hermione and Ron out of the hall.

Ivan stood at the door, and then let the freshmen from Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin's colleges come over.

The others were blocked by him in the hall alone, watching the freshmen leave one by one with eyes of awe and shock.

Leaving aside the academy, grievances, and interests, the only student who can do this at Hogwarts is Aiwen.

What he relied on was not his status as the chairman of the boys' student union, but his personal strength.

On the teacher's table, Umbridge also looked at Ivan in astonishment, and the smirk on his face gradually disappeared.

"About the question just now, Dolores!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I think you have also seen that Mr. Mason's current magical strength may be the strongest among Hogwarts students, so I let him An exception to be the president of the Boys' Student Council. Although he is still a little young, I think he is qualified for this position."

"It is indeed excellent. From past experience, I have no doubts about his strength!" After a long time, Umbridge said slowly, "However, the chairman of the student union is a very important position, and we must pay attention to his quality." Carry out a rigorous and meticulous assessment. You understand what I mean, Professor Dumbledore, the stronger the strength, the more attention and guidance must be given, Hogwarts can no longer have a mysterious person..."

"Of course!" said Dumbledore. "He will pass your examination, and so will Hogwarts."

In the eyes of everyone in awe, Ivan, Hermione, and Ron led the freshmen back to the Gryffindor common room.

As usual, Gryffindor would have another carnival, and everyone would have a long fight before going back to sleep.

This is the case at the beginning of school almost every year. Since the year that Ivan, Harry, and Ron called the flying car to Hogwarts, the carnival after the opening party has almost become a part of Gryffindor College. a habit.

Compared with other colleges, this cheerful atmosphere is still very good.

Think about it, Slytherin House will lead the freshmen to the cold basement, and then they will duel each other until the hidden first-year prefect is elected; Everyone stuffed a long list of books; as for Hufflepuff College, they used to let the freshmen gather around the round fireplace and listen to the seniors gossip about the school.

In this comparison, the Gryffindor Carnival Banquet is still good, and it is also conducive to the rapid integration of freshmen into the college.

However, when Ivan and the others came back, they didn't see the carnival banquet, but instead...

Chapter 925 Internal Contradiction

"Master Ai Wen, is this the Gryffindor Tower?" Euan Abercrombie asked, looking around curiously.

Along the way, he felt that his eyes were not enough. The castle of Hogwarts is so big, and there are all kinds of strange things and magic inside. These are all new to him. Other first-year students The same goes for freshmen.

They gathered around Ai Wen, asking this and that, without stopping for a moment.

Ron was already getting impatient, and these little ones were giving him a headache.

The prefect not only has the right to punish others, but also a responsibility. He is not ready to take on this responsibility and needs to be tempered.

Hermione answered conscientiously, speaking very comprehensively, almost repeating the original words in the book.

However, she may have spoken too professionally, and there were many things that the freshmen didn't quite understand, and they were confused for a while.

Only Aiwen here, all explanations are easy to understand, neither deep nor shallow.

In fact, you can only understand the depth of the problem if you have experienced it yourself, and you can't listen to what other people say, otherwise it will be like a pony crossing a river.

What Ai Wen said was very simple things, popularizing some basic common sense, but these are enough for freshmen.

They preconceived that Aiwen was very powerful, so they thought that the things he said were also very powerful.

In addition, the freshmen are also happy to get in touch with Aiwen.

What surprised Euan the most was that Ivan's temper was so good, he almost answered every question, and his attitude was kind and friendly.

You know, he had heard bad things about Ivan before he came.I have a bad impression of him.

On the train, someone showed him the "Daily Prophet" some time ago, which was full of articles saying bad things about Ivan and Harry, and told him to be careful of Gryffindor, Ivan and Harry. Harry, don't touch them, try to stay away from both of them.

Look, they're trying to create confusion by spreading rumors that Voldemort has returned.

In Euan's mind, Aiwen has become a stupid, lying, black magic, ignorant wizard who takes pleasure in bullying others, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he found that it was completely different, completely two extremes .

Aiwen's attitude has already explained everything. After a short contact, everyone has a good impression of him.

Especially the powerful strength is even more admirable, not to mention the magic they don't understand in the auditorium, that is, when they meet Peeves bullying other students on the third floor, they all know from other people that this is a difficult He is a ghost who takes pleasure in playing pranks on the students and bullying the students. He is not afraid of anything.

But after seeing Ai Wen, Peeves turned around and ran away.

"Yes, this is the Gryffindor Tower. This is the fat lady. She is the manager of the gate of the Gryffindor common room. She has always been conscientious and serious. You can only enter if you give the correct password. Common room." Aiwen said happily, introducing to the first graders around him, then turned to look at the portrait of the fat lady, "Good evening, fat lady, these are the freshmen of this year!"

"Hello, Ivan, I heard what they said, they chose you as the head of the boy, congratulations!" the fat woman said happily, smoothing the wrinkles on her pink satin dress, as if talking to Ivan A very face-saving thing.

I don't know if it's because of Aiwen's words of conscientiousness that made her look so kind.

"Thank you, this is the principal's trust in me. By the way, the password is Mibu Mibao!" Aiwen continued.

"That's right," said the Fat Lady, and her portrait opened towards them like a door, revealing a round hole in the wall.

"You have to remember the password. If the password is changed, the prefects will notify you as soon as possible." Hermione said.

"If you forget, you can only spend the night in the corridor!" Ivan climbed in first.

The Gryffindor common room looked as cheerful as ever, a circular room in a tower filled with frayed, floppy armchairs and old rickety tables, There was a crackling fire in the fireplace.

Ivan originally thought that with his performance in the auditorium, the momentum of the entire Gryffindor would rise sharply. Fred and George would definitely not let this opportunity go, and would definitely organize a carnival for the start of the school year. He happened to lead the Freshmen come back to participate and let everyone get to know each other.

But no, the atmosphere in the common room was exceptionally deserted.

There was a trace of tension and anxiety in this deserted atmosphere. Harry, Fred, George, Colin, and Neville stood on the side near the stairs of the boys' dormitory, while the others stood on the other side, facing each other.

"What happened?" Ivan was stunned for a while, "Why are you standing here?"

He looked around, and few people dared to look at him.

Aiwen's past experience and the powerful magic he just used in the auditorium are still fresh in people's memory.

"It's nothing, Harry and Seamus had a little conflict." Fred said, "We persuaded him!"

"It's not a big deal." George followed up, waving his hand, "Everyone is gone."

"It's no small matter." Dean Thomas said immediately, "Seamus' mother almost refused to let him go back to Hogwarts."

As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

"But, why?" Hermione said in surprise, walking to Ivan's side.

"The Daily Prophet, her mother believed the bullshit it said," said Harry angrily.

Both Dean and Seamus are his roommates, he doesn't want to argue with them here in front of so many people, be seen as a joke by others, and be pointed at by others. Before tonight, he thought he was with them The relationship between the two is not bad, even if they are not as close as Ivan and Ron, but they can be regarded as relatively close friends, at least he thought so.

But what happened just now overturned Harry's understanding.

The other party aggressively asked him about what happened that night half a year ago. Although Harry had told them the facts more than once, no one believed them. They only wanted to know what they wanted to happen.

Hermione had said that time would allow them to come to terms with Voldemort's return, but it hadn't.

Everyone has doubts about Voldemort's return. Although they have digested it for a long time last semester, they still can't believe it. Under the influence of this, they suddenly felt that Ivan and Harry were lying, and that it was impossible for Voldemort to be resurrected.

Distrust was brewing, and finally broke out in silence.

They didn't dare to ask Ivan, they could only regard Harry as a breakthrough...

Chapter 926

Seamus's reason seems to be very good. His mother believed the article in the "Daily Prophet", thinking that Dumbledore was an old fool, Ivan and Harry were liars who made an uproar, and it was impossible for Voldemort to come back to life , It's just like the Arabian Nights.

Therefore, she doesn't plan to let Seamus go to Hogwarts, and even wants him to transfer, which is a very serious matter.

In this case, as the source of everything, Harry naturally had the responsibility to explain this matter completely.

Harry didn't know what else he needed to explain, he'd said everything he could, but still no one believed him.
