Chapter 2: 002 House Legend
Ivan was ready to ask about resorting, but the cheerful applause from the audience had already begun. Ivan had to press down on his stomach full of questions, he put the sorting hat back on the four-corner table and walked down the steps.
Seeing Ivan coming down, several senior students moved aside at Gryffindor's table to make room for him.
A pair of twin brothers with the same appearance and fiery red hair pressed Ivan to space in between them, and one of them spoke with an exaggerated tone.
"Gosh, to give Professor McGonagall so much trouble in the sorting ceremony. You are definitely the first one to do it. It's really..."
"What is it really?" Ivan asked in confusion.
"It's so brave!" The other of the twin brothers took part in the conversation.
"You are destined to become a legend in the house!" The two looked at each other and said in unison.
Hearing the answers from the two, Ivan almost didn't understand it all in one breath. The brain circuits of the two brothers were so strange that he couldn't understand it.
"Well, thank you..." Ivan politely thanked the twin brothers for their "blessings" and then asked.
"My name is Ivan Halls, how about you?"
"I'm George Weasley, and that's Fred over there," one of the twin brothers spoke first, blinking at Ivan. "You'd better remember, don't make mistakes next time we meet, Fred hates when people get his name wrong..."
"Okay, George, I don't think I will be wrong." Ivan is clear about the trick of the two brothers who like to swapping identities, naturally, he will not be fooled, and turned to the other of the twin brothers.
"And you are Fred, right?"
Fred, who was thinking about playing with the newbie with his brother, was stunned, and George, who had spoken to Ivan before, was also taken aback for a while before asking.
"Wait, how do you know I am George?"
"That is easy to guess, isn't it? Who among the new students doesn't know that the Weasley brothers like pranks." Of course, Ivan couldn't say that he read it from a book, and could only make a temporary excuse to fool them.
"Gosh, are we so famous already? Even the new student know about us?" George and Fred said in surprise, feeling that their efforts after so many years of fighting against the Hogwarts school rules have finally come to fruition.
"Puff~" Ron, who was feasting and eating, almost squirted out the food from his mouth. When did his two brothers become so famous that the new students at Hogwarts know about them? Why doesn't he know?
George and Fred were a little curious about what Ivan whispered to the Sorting Hat on stage. It was the first time they saw someone chatting with that hat for so long.
Ivan fooled them with half-truths, after all, knowing black magic in Gryffindor house is not something to show off about.
Ivan took the opportunity to turn the topic to George and Fred's adventure career at Hogwarts and inquired about the location and information of secret passages in Hogwarts.
Ivan, who has read the original, naturally knows that George and Fred have a marauder's map that can show most of the hidden passages of Hogwarts and mark the names of people inside.
With it, you can travel freely in this magic castle without worrying about being discovered by professors and prefects.
Although Ivan has read the original story in his previous life and knows many secrets about Hogwarts, after all, he can't remember everything. and the map is still very useful.
And the Weasley brothers, facing Ivan, who is like a little fan, naturally revealed a lot of information unguardedly, and even wanted to win Ivan over into their great cause of pranks.
However, there is no disclosure about the marauder's map.
Ivan was not surprised. After all, it was the first time they met. No matter how good the conversation had been, it is impossible to reveal such an important secret. Ivan just wants to gain some good impressions to pave the way for the future.
But at this moment, an inexplicable voice suddenly rang in Ivan's mind.
[Ding, the host gets secret information, the task is being generated...
Mission Objective: Explore Hogwarts
Current progress: 2/100
Task introduction: The curiosity to explore the unknown is something every little wizard should possess. The thousand-year-old castle contains countless secrets. Please explore and understand them. When the exploration progress reaches a certain level, a reward will be given based on performance when the progress passes a certain level.]
Ivan, who received the news suddenly, couldn't help being stunned, and the conversation with the Weasley brothers was also interrupted.
'system?'
Ivan quickly thought, followed by feelings of ecstasy.
He had reincarnated to Hogwarts suddenly. Although Ivan had the joy and fortune to live again, there was also a sense of anxiety about suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment, just because of that he had to pretend to be okay.
But now he felt much more relieved.
Ivan casually ignored the Weasley brothers who were still about to continue talking about their adventures. He sank into his mind and focused his attention on groping for this newly-emerged system. After the method, a series of information finally appeared before Ivan's eyes.
[Ivan Halls

The information window that appeared in front of him was unexpected by Ivan and was a bit beyond Ivan's expectations.
"Fear curse? Magic item production?" Ivan slowly muttered to himself. As a new wizard who has just crossed over to a new reality and hasn't even fully figured out the situation, he naturally did not know about these two abilities.
Thinking of the memory that had appeared in his mind when he was on stage just now, Ivan suddenly understood a little that the wizard named Ivan Halls who he possessed had learned magic before entering school.
This situation is not uncommon among new students. It is important to note that even Hermione Granger, who was born in a Muggle family, can master some simple magic through self-study before entering school, let alone those who were born in a wizard family.
But the magic of fear, Ivan thought for a long time but had no impression of it, it seemed that it was not the magic that appeared in the original book.
Ivan is not surprised, after all, Harry Potter is just a novel, and it is only a corner of the magic world. It is impossible to show all the magic in every aspect, and the black magic in the original text is even rarer. A real black wizard can't only have so little black magic.
After all, in just the restricted area of Hogwarts library, I don't know how many black magic books there are.
Of course, what Ivan is more curious or worried about is the family situation of the original owner. A family that can teach their children dark magic before school is obviously not good.
Ivan is very worried about his safety. If someone finds out that Ivan Hals, a new student, is occupied by a soul from another world, God knows what kind of dark magic is waiting for him...
