Chapter 24: 24: Just Give Him A Beating

"Enough!!"

Malfoy glared at Ivan. "Who are you? Ambrosius? I've never heard of such a wizarding family in England!"

'How foolish can these people of the magical world be? Well, even Professor McGonagall (Who is more older in this world) couldn't recognize the name without Olivander's help.'

Ivan ignored Malfoy and gestured for Hermione to walk into Harry's compartment.

Harry, of course, didn't stop them.

He could tell that Ivan was being very friendly toward him.

As for Hermione, the little witch had just helped him repair his old glasses, and Harry had a very good first impression of her.

"Nice seeing you again, Harry."

Hermione held Yuumi and sat opposite Harry and Ron. Yumi seemed to have noticed something and stared at the rat, Scabbers, next to Ron.

"Hey, watch your cat!"

Ron quickly shielded Scabbers, afraid that Yumi might pounce on his rat and eat it.

"Yuumi!"

Ivan knew Scabbers' true identity.

Yuumi's reaction was probably similar to Crookshanks' in the original book, where the cat's instincts told her that Pettigrew wasn't a good thing.

However, since Crookshanks had been left with Neville, this task now fell to Yuumi.

"Meow~~?!"

Yuumi didn't quite know what was off about Scabbers, but she sensed something strange.

Yuumi silently warned her master that something was wrong with the rat and that he should be cautious.

"Don't worry about it, Yuumi."

Ivan didn't understand cat language, but his meaning was clear enough, telling Yumi not to act rashly.

"Enough!!"

Suddenly, Malfoy growled from outside the door, his face dark with anger.

Being ignored by Ivan and dismissed by Harry was a humiliation Malfoy had never experienced before.

"Is this your answer, Harry Potter?"

Malfoy said arrogantly, "Weasley's poor trash, two Mudbloods—you're just like your stupid parents. Sooner or later, you'll end up just like them!"

Harry lunged forward, enraged by the personal attack, especially when it involved his parents.

Malfoy was startled, but Crabbe and Goyle quickly moved to block Harry in time.

Ron saw this and planned to help Harry, clutching Scabbers tightly.

"Disappointing."

Ivan could hardly bear to watch the scene any longer, so he casually waved his hand at Goyle and Crabbe.

The next moment, the two were lifted into the air by an invisible force, and then, to Malfoy's horror, they flew backward and crashed outside the carriage, dragging Malfoy with them.

"Ah!"

"Ow, Ow, Ow!!"

"Idiot! You're crushing me!"

"Get up!"

The three of them were tangled together like a human pyramid, with Malfoy at the bottom. The combined weight of Goyle and Crabbe nearly crushed him.

"This..."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, clearly not understanding what had just happened.

"You should learn to respect others."

Ivan looked at Malfoy with a stern expression and raised his hand. The three young wizards screamed as they floated back up into the air. "And I don't want to hear that word you used ever again!"

"Got it?"

Gulp!

Ivan's tone was calm and gentle, but to Malfoy and the others, it sounded like a devil's whisper, making them tremble with fear.

Thud!

As Ivan released the magic, the three fell from the air. However, due to their unstable footing, they stumbled and collapsed to the ground once again.

Pah!

Ivan shook his head in disappointment, snapped his fingers, and the door of the carriage closed just before any older students could arrive.

"....."

On the other side, Harry and Ron stood there, staring blankly at the carriage door as it automatically shut in front of them.

With a loud "bang," the two snapped out of their confusion, turning to look at the calm Ivan with utter disbelief.

"How did you do that?"

Ron sat back down, trembling slightly. "I mean, what was that?"

Although he wasn't the target, Ron was truly frightened by Ivan.

He didn't even dare to look directly at Ivan now, sitting timidly in a corner, holding Scabbers tightly in his arms, fearing that Ivan might get upset and harm his rat.

"What kind of stupid question is that?"

Hermione covered her face subconsciously. She couldn't say she had a good impression of Ron—she felt more 'disdain,' like a top student facing a poor student. "Of course it's magic!"

"Wow."

Harry looked at Ivan with admiration and said sincerely, "You're amazing. Can I call you Ivan?"

"Of course."

Ivan smiled and said, "Just now I used a Levitation Charm and a Banishing Charm. They're not advanced spells—you'll learn them in first year."

As he said this, Ivan casually demonstrated again, sorting out the snacks scattered on the floor and letting them float neatly between Harry and Ron.

"Brilliant!"

Ron's praise for Ivan made Hermione quite happy. She added her own compliment unabashedly, "Ivan is the best young wizard I've ever seen."

"Ivan, don't you need a wand to cast magic?"

Unlike Ron, Harry noticed something important.

He realized that Ivan hadn't taken out his wand the entire time, yet he still performed all those magical feats with just a wave of his hand.

"Oh Yes! That's wandless spellcasting!"

Ron exclaimed, "You can cast a spell without a wand!! What is that?"

Harry had just entered the wizarding world and didn't understand the significance of wandless spellcasting.

It wasn't until Hermione proudly explained the difficulty of mastering this magical skill to both of them that Harry realized how impressive it truly was.

This led to Harry admiring Ivan even more. 'Not burdened by fame,' Ivan nodded secretly, thinking, 'As expected of the protagonist of a fairy tale—the princess is kind and beautiful, and the knight is just and loyal.'

Of course, Ivan wasn't belittling Harry Potter. He was simply reflecting on Harry's excellent character.

If anyone else suddenly went from being an orphan to a wealthy heir with billions, who could say they would handle it better than Harry? He had wealth and fame in abundance.

But Harry didn't lose himself in any of that. Instead, he clearly recognized his own shortcomings.

He was Harry—just Harry.

He wasn't powerful at all and didn't even know any magic yet.

Instead of indulging in those grand illusions, Harry wanted to better himself and prove his worth. "Well, it's not as difficult as Hermione makes it sound."

Ivan gently patted Hermione's head and straightened her slightly messy hair, causing the little witch to blush furiously.

"Like Hermione, I come from the Muggle world."

Ivan shared his background with the two of them, while Hermione and Harry remained puzzled by Malfoy's earlier behavior.

They asked Ivan what was going on with Malfoy and why he acted so arrogantly.

"They are the Malfoys, dad often talked about them," Ron said gloomily. "They were the first to come back to our side after... after You-Know-Who disappeared."

Chapter 25: 25: Girlfriend?

"They said they were under the Imperius Curse, but my dad didn't believe it at all," said Ron. "He said that Malfoy's father didn't even bother to make excuses and easily sided with the Dark forces."

Hearing that the Malfoy family was connected to the Dark Lord, Harry's face showed disgust, and Hermione looked a bit scared.

The little witch came from a society governed by law.

In her opinion, the Malfoy family was like street bullies, always picking on ordinary people.

She was afraid that the Malfoy family might cause trouble for them and didn't want Ivan to be dragged into it either. "It's okay," Ivan said with a smile. "Hogwarts is the 'safest' place in all of England.

There, the power of the Malfoy family is meaningless."

As for Lucius Malfoy being a school governor?

That meant nothing.

Everyone in England knew that Hogwarts was Dumbledore's domain. Only someone like Malfoy, spoiled by his parents, would think he could do whatever he wanted at Hogwarts. "Exactly!" Ron added. "Ivan's so strong, he beat Malfoy and his goons in just a few moves.

They should be the ones afraid of him."

Ivan's effortless handling of Malfoy and his friends made Ron like him even more.

"No fighting!"

Hermione interrupted firmly. "We should follow Hogwarts' rules, study hard, and go to the teachers when we have problems, instead of solving things in such a barbaric way."

After that, Hermione looked at Ron with a wary expression, worried that Ivan might be led astray by this rude barbarian.

She had already decided to keep her distance from Ron.

And to protect Ivan, too.

Hermione felt that it was her duty to shield Ivan from bad influences.

Malfoy's words, while cruel, weren't entirely wrong.

As the saying goes, "If you associate with red, you will be red; if you associate with black, you will be black."

Hermione had already labeled Ron as "stupid, a poor student, and reckless" and was determined not to let Ivan befriend someone like that. "..."

Ron and Harry were both taken aback by Hermione's words.

One of them had lived in a cupboard under the stairs all his life, and the other had only received basic family education before turning 11.

How could they possibly understand Hermione's mindset?

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Ron asked, looking at Ivan for help, and even Harry glanced at Ivan with a pleading look.

They just couldn't keep up with Hermione's way of thinking and didn't understand her idea of being a good student.

"What?!"

Hermione jumped up, her face turning red as she glared at Ron fiercely.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train, and we will take you to the school."

At this moment, the train began to announce its arrival at the station.

"Ivan, we should head back."

Hermione, who was still flustered from being called "girlfriend," quickly grabbed Ivan's hand and prepared to leave. Before going, she reminded him, "You should also change into your wizard robes quickly—don't wait until we're getting off the train to rush."

Ivan gave Harry and Ron a helpless look before returning to his compartment with Hermione, leaving Harry and Ron staring at each other.

"I think they might be a couple."

Ron munched on a candy, and Harry nodded. "Ivan really is amazing."

Not only was he skilled in magic, but he also had a girlfriend.

Although the two boys didn't fully understand what a girlfriend was, they knew it was cool to have one.

"And Ivan is so unlucky."

Ron said with frustration, "That Miss Know-It-All with the big front teeth—she looked at us just now like we were idiots."

Harry actually wanted to point out that Hermione only treated Ron like an idiot and had been quite kind to him.

But Ron was Harry's first friend, and he didn't want to risk damaging their friendship.

"Aren't you two done yet?"

At some point, Hermione had reappeared outside the carriage. She seemed to have overheard Ron calling her "Miss Know-It-All" and was now staring at him coldly.

"I forgot to ask—are you both ready for the Hogwarts entrance test? It'll determine which house we get sorted into."

Hearing this, not only Ron but even Harry's expression changed suddenly.

Especially Ron, who had been frightened by his brothers before coming to Hogwarts.

For a moment, Harry felt so nervous that his stomach churned, and he noticed that Ron's face had gone pale beneath his freckles.

The two hurriedly stuffed the remaining candies into their pockets and started changing.

"What's wrong with them?"

Ivan, who had already changed into his wizard robes, saw Hermione return and noticed the anxious looks on Harry and Ron's faces. He didn't understand what was going on.

"Nothing."

Hermione hadn't intended to scare them, though even she was a little nervous herself. "Ivan, do you know what the entrance test is?"

"This."

Ivan nodded with a smile. "I've heard a bit about it."

"What is it? Is it hard?"

Hermione hadn't expected Ivan to actually know. "Where did you learn it? I looked through Hogwarts: A History, but the details of the Sorting Ceremony were only briefly mentioned."

Ivan understood the vagueness surrounding the ceremony—it was just the adult wizards having some fun.

"With your ability, Hermione, you should be thinking more about which house you want to be in, rather than worrying about passing."

The two had discussed this before. Ivan wasn't particularly concerned, while Hermione was torn between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

"What about you, Ivan?"

"I'm fine with either."

Ivan didn't want to interfere with the Sorting Ceremony, which only happens once in a lifetime. If this experience were influenced by scheming or manipulation, it would taint his journey at Hogwarts.

Therefore, Ivan's mindset was relaxed—he would let the Sorting Hat decide.

Whatever the outcome, Ivan was ready to accept it.

"My gran wants me to be in Gryffindor," said Neville, who had been quietly following behind the two like a shadow. "But I just hope I pass the Sorting Ceremony. As long as I don't end up in Slytherin, I'll be fine."

The train slowed down and finally came to a stop.

The young wizards pushed and jostled as they rushed to the door and stepped out onto a small, dark platform.

The cold night air made everyone shiver. Hermione subconsciously moved closer to Ivan, as if being near him would make her feel warmer.

"First-year students! First-years, over here!"

"Harry, come on, are you okay?"

Accompanied by a booming voice from the front, Ivan and Hermione looked up.

A towering, bearded man holding a large oil lamp stood before them. It was Rubeus Hagrid, the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts.
