Chapter 32: An Unexpected Letter (Two in One, Four Thousand Words)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Ivan, what you did tonight was amazing!" Harry, who had been pushed to the edge of the crowd, came forward and gave Ivan a big hug.
"Perhaps," Ivan said with a shrug, then explained, "You shouldn't have said that. I went to a lot of trouble to deal with trolls."
It is not that Ivan is humble, but that the news has been distorted, and one version of it that Ivan heard described a troll that was twelve feet tall becoming twenty feet tall!
Such flattery would not do…
"Hey, come on, you're Gryffindor's hero. We only saw you kill a troll after you saved Hermione. Boy, that was fast." Ron thumped Ivan on the chest and laughed.
"Besides, we only mentioned what happened. Who knew it would go down like this?" Harry said they weren't taking the blame.
"Where's Hermione, by the way?" Yvonne asked.
"I don't know. I just saw it," Harry said, feeling a little strange.
"You saved her life and now she's not even thanking you," Ron said angrily.
"She must have left on an emergency." Yvonne shook her head; Hermione was not like that.
Harry and Ron accepted Ivan's explanation, as Hermione had taken all the punishment for them and changed their opinion of her.
Harry and Ron then mysteriously took Ivan to see a package containing a brand-new Nimbus 2000 that Professor McGonagall had sent to Harry that morning, which he had missed because it was in the library.
Despite her lack of interest, Ivan saw the excitement on their faces and went against his conscience to boast about them before sending them off to bed.
Ivan finally had time to take a closer look at his reward for killing the troll.
[Bloodline Fusion Potion (Potion Recipe)
Ingredients: Dried nettles, Bone-Picking Grass, Thistleweed, Mistletoe Berries, Black Reed Petals, Rat Lee, Black Bat's keratin, Mountain Flower Powder…
Special Material: 150 milliliters of animated blood from magical creatures (Note: blood activity decreases dramatically after three days out of the body).
Prerequisite: Level 6 in Potions (Note: Level 4 in Potions required under the Experience Card)
Looking at the list of names in the required materials, Ivan felt dizzy. 'That's too much, isn't it?'
Many of them were high-grade potion ingredients, and were extremely expensive. Even if he risked being caught by going to Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley to buy them, he would not have enough Galleons.
The sixth level of Potions made Ivan frown. Even though he had already reached the third level of Potions, the higher the level, the slower the improvement. It was more difficult to advance from the third level to the next!
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the note at the end of the note. If he had been in the fourth level of Potions, he would have had a chance if he had worked hard. However, he did not expect that the experience card mode would also enhance the potion refinement.
The easiest for Ivan to get his hands on was the magical creature's blood, which, despite having a three-day limit on out-of-body activity, would soon hatch a dragon.
Ivan couldn't beat a full-grown dragon, but this newborn one was at his mercy.
When the time came, he would draw some blood and relax… as long as he prepared everything before the dragon was sent away.
Knock knock… Knock knock…
Yvonne was lost in her thoughts when she heard a noise outside the window. She turned to see a black and grey owl tapping its beak against the glass outside the window. There was a rope tied to its leg, and it seemed to be tied to something.
Gura?
A word came to Ivan's mind, and Ivan guessed that it might be the owl's name.
He opened the window and the black and grey owl flew in. It landed on Ivan's shoulder and shook itself. The poor creature had been forced to spend the night in the wind because the entire dormitory had gone to welcome Ivan.
Ivan was no longer in the mood to care about an owl's well-being, his attention fixed on the envelope hanging from its leg.
For it clearly read Ivan Harlski,
Ivan untied the envelope and held it in his hand, but he did not have the courage to open it. His expression changed, and he sighed.
He had known this day would come, but not so soon.
Ivan hesitated for a moment before opening the envelope. He was slightly reassured when he saw that the letter was quite ordinary, asking him how he was doing at Hogwarts and which house he had been assigned to.
Also included were three Galleons and a note on the bottom telling him to return the money if he needed it.
However, the more concerned Ivan became about the letter, the more guilty and worried he became…
The guilt went without saying. Even though he was not in control of this transmigration, he had somehow managed to take the place of the other party's child. Ivan could not accept this with a clear conscience.
The concern is due to Dumbledore's ambiguous assessment of his mother, as well as the highly visible Dark Fear Charm in the system column…
