"My dad has recently been sorting out the list of goblins who have died since Fudge was elected minister." Luna said, "Many goblins have died, and many have disappeared. He thinks these things are related to Fudge..."

Chapter 915 The Quibbler and the Journey

The Quibbler often ran sensational jokes that no one took seriously.

Still, it's a good read as a joke or to pass the time, and Mr. Lovegood has a lot of very peculiar points of view.

Ivan continued to look backwards, and after the article by Fudge the Goblin Slayer, there was a report on the vampire Kelexis.

He is now a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Magic, but some wizards don't think so, and don't even recognize the existence of Keressis at all.

They believed that there was no such person, and everything was a conspiracy by the Ministry of Magic and Fudge. They blamed the attack on the Quidditch World Cup final on the unwarranted vampire, and the real murderer was the notorious Death Eater Pettigrew Peter.

Ai Wen stared at the name for three seconds before making sure he read it correctly.

They linked this incident with the attack on Harry by a dementor some time ago, and believed that Azkaban was out of control, and many death eaters and dark wizards in custody had escaped from prison, but the Ministry of Magic refused to admit this. everything.

Lady Doris Purkiss, of 18 Thorny Leaf Road, Little Norton, testified affirmatively that she had seen Peter having dinner not long ago with Stumpy Boardman, the frontman of the pop singing group Naughty Leprechauns , withdrew from public life about 15 years ago after being hit in the ear by a turnip at a concert in the Little Norton church hall.

As for why Peter had dinner with Boardman, it was because he was a loyal supporter of the naughty leprechaun.

This singing group was very famous 20 years ago, when many Hogwarts students supported them.

Mr. Lovegood also provided a list of audience members who watched the concert of the Naughty Goblin Band in the magazine. Ivan took a look and found that he had included all the Death Eaters that he and Harry had accused some time ago.

Well, for the first time he knew that the Death Eaters were all supporters of a singing band.

That's not all, in a later article it is accused that the Tuthill Tornadoes won this year's Quidditch Club Federation Cup by means of coercion, illegal tampering with brooms, and torture of opponents.

The Quibbler described the whole process in great detail, as if it really happened.

Judging from this article alone, these Quidditch players seem to be more cruel and evil than Death Eaters.

Mr. Lovegood probably noticed this, and he thought there were dark wizards or Death Eaters helping the Tuthill Tornadoes train.

In addition, there is a wizard who claims that he flew to the moon on a sweeping six-star and brought back a bag of frogs on the moon as evidence. He is going to donate these frogs to let everyone know about the frogs on the moon what is the difference.

The last article dealt with ancient runes, which Mr. Lovegood believed contained records of some ancient extinct creature.

Regarding these magic words, Aiwen can be sure that he doesn't know a single word.

He hasn't watched "The Quibbler" for a long time, and the content on it is still so interesting...

On the other side, Hermione was telling Harry, Neville, and Ginny what had just happened in the prefect's carriage.

Ron, on the other hand, munched on a chocolate frog, fell heavily on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes, as if he had been exhausted from the morning.

"Manfred Gleeson, the seventh-year prefect of Slytherin College, the tall and strong one, was dissatisfied with Ivan's becoming the chairman of the Boys Student Union, and proposed a duel to Ivan. "Hermione said, and gestured with her hand, "Ivan defeated him with only one move. It was the bat spirit spell, and many furry bats appeared on his face."

"You should really look at that picture, those mobs sticking out their tongues and licking and licking." Ron added, eyes still closed, "Gleeson's face is wet with saliva, It's exciting to watch..."

Because it contains anesthetic ingredients, the bat's tongue will make people feel very comfortable to lick.

"Aiwen, did you really use the bat spirit spell?" Ginny said excitedly, this is her improved spell.

"Yeah, that spell is amazingly powerful and can play a controlling role." Ivan said, "I may not use it as well as you."

"By the way, are you going to deprive Gleason of his prefect status?" Hermione asked, "Isn't it too reckless to do so?"

"Let's wait and see, you can give him a period of time to see his performance..." Ivan said, and began to eat his share of pie.

Slytherin students basically look like that, and there is no essential difference if another person comes up.

As long as Gleason can do his own job obediently, there is no need for Ivan to be so decisive.

With the ethos of Slytherin, as long as they show absolute strength and appropriate interests, those people will automatically attach themselves.

Rights and power are what they value most, while bloodline and dignity are secondary.

"As far as I'm concerned, after seeing that bat spirit spell, no one should object to you." Ron said, opening his eyes, "Look at Malfoy's expression at that time, he must be scared, I've already Have you ever been this happy!"

"Oh, so Malfoy became a prefect too?" Harry asked, the last thing he wanted to happen.

"Yeah, and Pansy Parkinson," said Hermione, "that cow with a dumber head than a troll with a concussion."

She introduced the new fifth-year prefects, and Ron looked at his watch.

"We should be out in the aisles. If anyone is doing something bad, we can punish them. I want to catch Crabbe and Goyle right away."

"You shouldn't be abusing your position, Ron!" said Hermione sternly.

"Yeah, that's right, because Malfoy will never abuse his power." Ron said sarcastically, "Thank God, because of Ivan, he doesn't dare to come here to provoke us now, but he will definitely bully others Human."

"So you're going to lower yourself to his level?"

"No, I just want to make sure that before he bullies other people, he will show them some seriousness. I thought about it. I'm going to punish Goyle for writing sentences. It will kill him. He hates writing." Ron said happily.

He lowered his voice, imitating Goyle's hoarse voice, wrinkled his face into a ball, seemed to be concentrating in pain, pretended to write in the air, and made everyone laugh, especially Luna. Very powerful.

At this moment, the door of the box room was opened, and it was Colin and his younger brother Dennis.

Colin is Aiwen's good friend. He hasn't seen Aiwen for a long time, but he has been insisting on writing to him.

Ivan even thought about inviting them to be guests at No. 12 Grimmauld Place during the summer vacation, but Mrs. Weasley and others disapproved of this.

As the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, the less people know about it, the better.

Chapter 916 The Girl in the Car

"Evan, I heard you got into a fight with the Slytherin students?" Colin said excitedly, "It's spread all over the outside, everyone is talking about it, they say you became the president of the Boys' Union, And turning a Slytherin seventh year into a furry monster, can't it be real? It's like a dream."

"Mostly true, but I sure didn't turn Gleason into a furry monster."

For the rest of the journey, no one came to visit. Ivan told Colin and Dennis about his trip to Italy, his summer vacation experience, and the ins and outs of becoming the president of the Boys Student Union. These two guys looked at him with admiration.

Ivan and Hermione didn't go out to inspect, but Ron couldn't help but go out for a walk.

He told everyone that he was going to find Lavender and didn't return until more than three hours later, with a smug smile on his face.

The train went all the way north, and the weather was still changing.

Raindrops beat on the car window intermittently, and then the sun lolled its face out, and soon the clouds passed by and covered it again. As night fell, the lights in the car came on, and Luna rolled up "Singing Song" "Reverse Withering", carefully put it into the schoolbag.

Then, she turned her face and stared intently at everyone in the box.

Colin and Dennis had already gone back to pack their luggage, and it was pitch black outside the car window.

It was a moonless night, and the rain-soaked car windows were dirty.

"We have to change our clothes." Finally Hermione said, she was obviously speaking to Ivan.

It's really convenient for Aiwen to help her with her luggage, but one thing is bad, she has to ask Aiwen for whatever clothes she wants to wear.

It's up to Ivan to decide whether she can wear this dress...

Of course, in most cases, Ivan would not refuse Hermione's request, and would take the initiative to hand over the clothes.

Everyone hurriedly opened the box, and Ivan also found out his and Hermione's school uniforms and changed them on.

Slowly the train slowed down, and again they heard a commotion all around them.

Because everyone is busy gathering luggage and pets and getting ready to get off.

"We must maintain order, hurry up!" Hermione said, "Ivan, after everyone has left, you have to stay and check the compartment to see if there are any things or people left behind. It's the job of the student body president."

"I know, why is this the job of the head of the Boys Student Council?" Ivan said, feeling that the house elves should do the job.

They go through each box individually, doing their due diligence to make sure nothing is left behind.

He and Ron followed Hermione out of the box, leaving Harry and the others to look after Crookshanks and Piglet.

The box was already full of people, and Hermione asked them to slow down and not to be crowded.

The three of them walked forward for a while and came to the junction of the two carriages.

The cold night air poured in through the car door, blowing on the face with a slight sting.

There was no sign of Hagrid on the platform, and he was walking back in the wild with his younger brother. In addition to being careful not to be discovered, he also had to take care of Glop. Don't know where they are.

Now that Hagrid was gone, Professor Graplan was in his place.

"First-years please line up here! All first-years come with me!" she yelled, carrying a lantern.

This is a witch with a protruding chin and meticulously trimmed hair. He had taught Hagrid a protection of magical creatures class for a while before, and showed everyone the unicorn, which was very popular with the students.

"See you later!" Ivan said, waving his hand.

He was separated from Hermione and Ron, they were going to maintain order on the platform, and he was going to patrol the carriages one by one.

Ai Wen opened the compartment doors one by one, and if there were still people inside, he reminded them to leave quickly and remember not to leave anything behind.

If there's no one left, just wave your wand and cast a detect spell to check briefly.

Everyone in the passage looked at Aiwen with curious and awe-inspiring eyes. After seeing the badge of the Boys Student Union Chairman on his body, they all leaned as far as possible to let him pass by. Aiwen saw many classmates he was familiar with.

Some of them greeted him, others said nothing, with obvious suspicious, scrutinizing expressions on their faces.

In the third car, Ivan also saw Manfred Gleason, who had just recovered his ability to move, and he seemed particularly weak.

The originally pale face was licked red by bats, but after seeing Ivan, a look of disgust flashed on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed the wand in Ivan's hand, hesitated obviously, and left in a hurry.

Ai Wen and the chairperson of the Girls' Student Union were each responsible for half of the carriages. He checked them one by one, and 5 minutes had passed, and there was no one in the train.

When he opened the door of the penultimate private room in the third car, he saw that there was still a girl inside.

This is a petite girl with beautiful shawl blonde curly hair, long eyelashes, and a pair of lovely dimples.

She sat quietly on the seat by the window, looking intently at the newspaper in her hand, and there was a thick stack in front of her.

Ivan glanced at it, and it was all "Hogwarts Wizardry", with many issues in a row.

"Hello, the train has arrived!" Ivan reminded, this guy seemed to be fascinated by it, and he didn't even put on his school uniform.

Hearing Aiwen's voice, the girl seemed to be frightened, and suddenly put the newspaper in her arms, trying to hide it.

She looked up at Ivan, her little face flushed pink, and there was a hint of childishness and panic in her jumping eyes.

If it wasn't for Ai Wen's impression of this girl, he would have thought she was a first-year freshman. She looks very innocent and pure.

Ivan still remembered that she seemed to be in the same grade as him, a student of Slytherin.

However, he couldn't remember the specific name. He had never spoken to the other party before.

"Ivan Mason!" After seeing Ivan, she seemed to be relieved all of a sudden.

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to think of something again, her face became redder, and her body tensed up.

"Yeah, it's me, the train has arrived!" Ivan said again, "We should go to Hogwarts by carriage now."

"Oh, yes, okay, thank you, I'll go right away." She hurriedly stood up and opened her suitcase, trying to stuff all the newspapers she was carrying into it. She paused for a while, as if she knew that Ivan was " The founder of the Hogwarts Newspaper, said with some embarrassment, "My friend gave it to me, and I'm not allowed to read it at home..."

Chapter 917 The Girl and Thestral

From the clothes she was wearing, it could be seen that she should be a member of an old family of pure-blood wizards.

For these wizarding families, Ivan's "Hogwarts Wizarding News" is completely forbidden reading. There are many articles on it that they don't like to read or that damage their interests. Some domineering families don't even allow their own children contact.

Ivan is not surprised by this, but it is quite unusual for Slytherin students who take the initiative to read "Hogwarts Wizardry News".

At least, in his memory, he had never seen such a Slytherin student.

He wanted to ask the girl's name, but it didn't seem right to ask directly, because my classmate of four years didn't even know her name...

This is definitely an infuriating rhythm.

If only Hermione or Colin were here, they could remember almost all the students' names.

Because Ai Wen stood aside, the girl was obviously very nervous.

She put all the newspapers in the box, then hurriedly took out her school uniform robe, and put it on as quickly as possible.

While she was changing clothes, Ivan saw the name written on a textbook in the box: Astoria Greengrass.

It turned out to be the Greengrass family, and Ivan remembered who this girl was.

In the books, she ends up being Draco Malfoy's wife.

Lucius and Narcissa originally had high expectations for this girl from the purest wizarding family, so they chose this daughter-in-law after thousands of choices.

However, it is said that she refused to teach her son the concepts of "pure blood glory" and "muggles like ants". Instead, she believed that everyone should be treated equally, instead of distinguishing by family background and blood, and abandoned the old Malfoy The tradition that the family has always adhered to has caused the atmosphere of every Malfoy family gathering to be a little tense.
