12.5% Hogwarts' White Lord / Chapter 19: 19: Platform 9¾

Chapter 19: 19: Platform 9¾

"Yeah."

Ivan nodded and turned to Mr. Granger in the driver's seat: "Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Granger."

"I feel fortunate."

Mr. Granger sounded excited as well: "By the way, may I call you Ivan?"

"Of course."

"So, Ivan."

Mr. Granger continued, "I heard from Hermione that you've mastered quite a bit of magic. When we arrive, that is, could we possibly..."

"Mr. Granger, I'm just like you, an ordinary person in this world."

Ivan encouraged Mr. Granger to not be so formal and to simply see him as his daughter's classmate: "But yes, I do know quite a bit about magic. As Hermione mentioned, the spells in the textbook aren't too difficult."

"Really?"

Mr. Granger smiled, pleased, though Hermione seemed a bit downcast: "Ivan, how many spells have you learned? I've only managed the Wand-Lighting Charm and the Mending Charm."

"Well..."

Ivan didn't intend to conceal his capabilities.

As mentioned, Ivan aimed to lead a more powerful and respectable life this time around. Not like the protagonists of the animes where the MC has the power of a god or something and then is dumb and nieve, hides his power, then gets discriminated by royalty and racist hot bitches just for thinking that he needed a carefree life and brings more drama to himself instead of 'carefreeness' which could have been solved if he had shown his powers and is not to be messed with in the first place.

Snap!

Ivan snapped his fingers, and various small items that had been placed behind him and Hermione began to levitate.

"Heh~" So, under the astonished gaze of Mr. Granger, Ivan made the objects float and dance in the backseat of the car, which left both father and daughter incredibly impressed.

Mr. Granger was amazed because he had never witnessed such magic before.

As for Hermione, being somewhat knowledgeable about magic, she recognized what Ivan had just performed.

"That was wandless casting!!"

"No, Ivan, you cast the Levitation Charm without even saying the spell."

Hermione exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, Ivan, you can cast this spell silently and without a wand!"

If Ivan's abilities were only slightly superior to Hermione's, she might feel some pressure.

However, Ivan's talents were truly extraordinary.

The boy in front of her possessed magical skills that Hermione could not match.

"Is this impressive?"

Mr. Granger, unaware of the significance of silent and wandless casting, simply thought it was incredible.

"Very impressive!"

Hermione then asked Ivan if he could explain to her father about his lineage.

"Actually, it's no big deal."

Seeing Mr. Granger's puzzled look in the rearview mirror, Ivan smiled and explained, "I only learned where my talents come from when I purchased my wand yesterday."

"Talent?"

"Dad," Hermione interjected with evident pride, "Ivan is a descendant of Merlin!"

"What?!!"

Mr. Granger was momentarily taken aback. "Merlin, as in the Merlin associated with King Arthur's legend?"

"That very Merlin!"

Hermione admitted, "I was shocked too when I first heard."

"That's really something," Mr. Granger mused, clearly amazed.

For him, the realms of wizards and magic were already fascinating enough.

A descendant of Merlin—that was a concept beyond his imagination.

"Ahem, it's not as exaggerated as it sounds."

Ivan noticed Mr. Granger looking at him as if he were a mythical being, akin to a figure like Jesus Christ, which made him quite uncomfortable.

However, Hermione didn't step in to moderate her father's awe but instead embellished Ivan's legendary status further.

"Even in the wizarding world, descendants of Merlin are considered more myth than reality."

"No wizard today has ever seen..."

"I believe Ivan might be seen as a Merlin of our time in the future."

"..."

Ivan's endless praise had found its moment—this was it!

"We are here," Mr. Granger announced as he parked the car alongside a neatly maintained street. "Welcome, Ivan."

The Granger residence was a three-story villa encircled by lush bushes, not far from their dental clinic located just off the street. In England, being a dentist is quite lucrative, positioning the Granger family comfortably in the upper-middle class.

Mrs. Granger, embodying the quintessence of a British lady, extended a warm welcome to Ivan upon his arrival.

After settling his luggage in the guest room prepared by Mrs. Granger, they all gathered for a lavish lunch. During the meal, Ivan showed several magical tricks that not only dazzled Mr. and Mrs. Granger but also earned admiration and a hint of envy from Hermione.

Later in the afternoon, Hermione eagerly sought Ivan's mentorship in magic. With his guidance, she quickly mastered the basic first-year spells, much to her delight.

That evening, at dinner, Hermione proudly demonstrated her newfound spellcasting skills to her parents, eliciting awe and proud proclamations from them about having "a brilliant little witch" in the family.

Time flew swiftly, and soon it was the last day of August. Following the instructions on their Hogwarts admission letters, Mr. Granger drove Ivan and Hermione to King's Cross Station.

"Do you really not want Mum and Dad to come with you?"

The Granger couple wanted to accompany Hermione, but the little witch told her parents not to worry: "With Ivan, there is nothing to worry about."

After nearly half a month of getting along, the relationship between Ivan and Hermione has made great progress, and they have almost become good friends who can talk about anything.

In addition, both of them are from the Muggle world, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are childhood sweethearts....

"Uncle, aunt."

Ivan said seriously: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Hermione."

"Then I'll leave it to you, little Ivan."

"Hermione, listen to Ivan when you get to school..."

The couple had a very good impression of Ivan. In their eyes, Ivan was obviously more reliable than Hermione.

"Got it! Got it!"

Hermione waved goodbye to the two of them in dissatisfaction.

The little witch pulled Ivan over and started to enter the station with her luggage.

Seeing that their daughter did not look nostalgic at all, the Granger couple looked at each other, and they were quite amused.

"Platform nine and three-quarters."

Looking at the platform written on the ticket, Hermione looked at Ivan in confusion: "Ivan, have you seen this platform?"

"There are platforms 9 and 10, but there is no platform nine and three-quarters."

Ivan naturally knew where this platform was. Even if he didn't know, with his soul attribute of 4 points, as long as he opened his spiritual vision, he could find traces of magic around.

"Look at them!"

Without waiting for Ivan to tell her, Hermione noticed several people dressed strangely, rushing into a wall with their children.

"It seems that the platform should be between platforms 10 and 9."

"Yup, let's go." The two looked at each other, and imitated those people, rushing into the wall one after another.

Ivan only felt that his body passed through a thin film of nothingness.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw a crimson steam locomotive parked next to the platform full of passengers.


Chapter 20: 20: Neville

The sign on the train read: Hogwarts Express, 11 o'clock.

The two looked back and saw that the place where the ticket gate used to be had now become a wrought iron archway with the words: Platform 9 and 3/4 written on it.

The thick smoke from the steam locomotive lingered above the chattering crowd, and cats of various colors darted around under people's feet.

Amid the buzzing of the crowd and the noise of dragging heavy luggage, owls also hooted harshly, one calling the other.

"Ivan, I'm a little nervous."

Hermione kept looking around, her attention mainly focused on the little wizards who were similar to them.

The little witch was very worried that her magic level could not keep up with the teaching at Hogwarts, and she was also afraid that the little wizards from wizard families would look down on her.

"You have to believe in yourself, Hermione."

Ivan smiled and said, "You are very good, definitely not worse than them."

Ivan said this from the bottom of his heart. The half-month of getting along with each other allowed Ivan to see Hermione's talent.

In his estimation, if Hermione's talent is revealed in the form of attributes, except for the soul, mind, and physique, which cannot be judged.

Hermione's best attribute should be thinking attribute.

The little witch's memory and logical analysis ability are extremely amazing. Even Ivan, who has 3 points of thinking attribute, can't compare with her.

From this, it can be inferred that Hermione's thinking attribute is likely to have reached 4 points.

You know, reaching 3 points of attribute is outstanding, which means one in a million.

And like Hermione, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare to see someone like her in the magic world for decades.

'Except for thinking, Hermione's magic power should not be high, but only reached 2 points of excellence. '

However, Ivan thinks that Hermione's magic talent should also be in the forefront among the excellent ones, close to 3, but not reaching the level.

Then there is the attribute of will. Ivan thinks Hermione's self-discipline is amazing.

Think about it, a person who can spend all his time on studying and thinks that doing exercises, taking exams, and reciting are fun.

Ivan just wants to say that her perseverance is so terrifying.

Ivan can spend time learning magic, but Hermione is a super student who can memorize every book she has read.

Anyway, Ivan can never do Hermione's level.

Even if he has two lives, Ivan's willpower in his previous life is not that strong.

Therefore, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with not being as good as Hermione in terms of will.

In addition, the attribute is fixed, and it will not happen that the will of 12-year-old Hermione (Hermione's enrollment age is 12 years old) is 3, and the willpower increases after adulthood.

3 points of Will refers to growth, not the current value.

For example, suppose Hermione and Professor McGonagall both have a thinking attribute of 4, but the latter's thinking ability is obviously stronger than the former.

Similarly, Ivan's magic power is 5, but he can only say that he is stronger than the 11-year-old Dumbledore.

'Thinking 4, Magic 2, Will 3. '

Such attributes have surpassed most wizards, and Hermione in the original book finally became the Minister of Magic, which is a manifestation of her excellent talent.

"But I'm still a little worried."

Hermione began to recite the textbooks she had read before, so as to make herself forget the terrible future of being crushed by other little wizards.

This scene made Ivan chuckle a little.

"Let's go, let's find a seat."

Ivan and Hermione pushed the cart forward on the platform, ready to find an empty compartment.

The first few carriages were already crowded with students, some of them leaned out of the window to talk to their families, and some were playing in the seats.

Soon, the two found a compartment with only a round-faced boy sitting in it.

"Excuse me, can we sit here?"

Ivan used the levitation spell to make the trunks float behind him. Hermione poked her head out from behind him and looked at the boy in front of her carefully.

Well, he doesn't look very smart.

"Yes, you can."

The boy sat inside shyly, lowering his head and looking very shy.

"Ivan Ambrosius, this is my friend Hermione."

"Hermione Granger."

After the two sat down, they introduced themselves.

"My name is Neville."

Neville said timidly: "Neville Longbottom."

"Hello."

Ivan said to himself that the boy in front of him was the hidden savior in the original Harry Potter book, the Gryffindor Sword's chosen one.

Thinking so, Ivan manipulated the gift to let them float to a high place by themselves, and piled his own cage, Hermione's owl and Crookshanks' cage in the corner of the carriage.

"Amazing."

Neville was stunned by this scene: "How did you do it?"

"I mean..."

Neville: "You can do magic!"

"???"

Hermione was confused, she asked in confusion: "Are you from the Muggle world like us?"

"No, I, my family are all wizards."

Neville's voice was not loud, he looked at Ivan, his eyes full of envy and admiration: "But I, I can't do magic."

According to Neville's description, his talent was very poor, which made many members of his family think that he was not qualified to go to Hogwarts.

Once, Neville's uncle threw him out of the window thinking he was a squib, but he bounced up by himself without causing any harm, which made his family very happy.

"When they received the admission letter from Hogwarts, grandma and others were very happy."

Neville has a good personality.

Ivan and Hermione quickly became friends with him, and then began to share each other's experiences and family information.

Neville had no aversion to the fact that the two were born in Muggle world.

Although the Longbottom family is pure blood, they are not opposed to half-blood and Muggle wizards.

"Ivan, you are amazing."

This is the nth time Neville has said this. Hermione asked: "Ivan is of course amazing, but haven't you seen a young witch or wizard as smart as Ivan?"

In Hermione's opinion, children from wizard families must be very amazing.

They must have learned magic since childhood, and each of them is a knowledgeable genius.

Well, except Neville.

According to Neville, he doesn't know any magic.

Hermione thinks this should be an exception.

"I've never seen it."

The Longbottom family also has relatives and friends, but Neville has never seen a little wizard like Ivan who has mastered magic before entering school.

Especially when Ivan casts a spell, it seems that he doesn't even use a wand.

"How did you do it just now?"

Neville asked curiously: "I heard from my grandmother that you need a wand to cast magic, but even after getting a wand, I don't know how to cast magic."
