Chapter 44: 44: I'm Famous

"How did you come up with this idea, Ivan?"

"This was inspired by a Muggle amusement park," Ivan replied.

"Amusement park?" Professor Flitwick tilted his head, clearly unfamiliar with the term.

But his lack of understanding didn't stop him from admiring Ivan's creativity.

Including the original Illumination Charm, this was the third new spell Ivan had developed based on the same concept.

With such talent on display, Flitwick couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Ivan, would you be willing to share the secrets of these spells with others?"

Flitwick's ethics as a teacher were impeccable. If Ivan considered these spells to be his exclusive creations, the professor wouldn't push for an explanation.

He would only explore the spell if Ivan willingly shared its details and allowed others to learn it.

"Of course!" Ivan's answer surprised Flitwick. He responded casually, "These spells aren't dangerous. They're just like other spells—only they're new."

"Perhaps the firefly spell might be a bit tricky to learn," Ivan added, glancing at the other students, especially Hermione. "But if anyone's interested, feel free to ask me privately."

"I—I want to learn!" Hermione exclaimed enthusiastically.

"That firefly spell is so beautiful!" another student chimed in.

"Ivan, how did you even come up with it? It's amazing!"

For a moment, several Ravenclaw girls crowded in front of Ivan, their admiration clear.

When it comes to beautiful things, even a spell can captivate and draw attention, especially when it comes from a genius like Ivan, who seemed to shine like a beacon in the dark. His charm was irresistible, attracting their curiosity.

"Ugh..."

Only Hermione, who had been pushed aside, stood there fuming. Her eyes were full of dissatisfaction as she glared at the others: 'I was here first! Get away from my Ivan!'

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick intervened and cleared the students away just in time, leaving Ivan alone, as he clearly had something to discuss with him.

"Ivan, have you heard of the wizarding magazine The Future of Spells?" Flitwick asked.

"Uh..." Ivan thought for a moment. "I've seen it in a bookstore, but I haven't read it."

"This is a publication dedicated to people worldwide who enjoy studying spells. It holds the same status in spell theory as 'Transfiguration Today' holds in Transfiguration," Flitwick explained.

Flitwick then suggested that Ivan publish his research on the three new spells in The Future of Spells. "Of course, this is just my suggestion," he added.

"I'd be happy to!" Ivan responded. He wasn't the type to hoard magic for himself. Unless a spell was extremely important or needed to be kept secret, he saw no reason to withhold it.

And these three spells were certainly not in that category.

Rather than keep them to himself, Ivan felt it would be better to share them openly.

Firstly, publishing the spells would enhance Ivan's reputation. Secondly, it would also earn him a reward from 'The Future of Spells'.

Most importantly, it would help Ivan expand his network and build good relationships with world-renowned magic masters.

After all, who wouldn't admire a talented and generous young wizard?

During lunch, Professor Flitwick invited Ivan to the Great Hall, where they discussed the three spells and the finer details of getting them published.

This scene naturally caught the attention of many students.

The older students didn't recognize Ivan; they only knew that he was a new student assigned to Gryffindor. However, the first-year students from the three Houses—Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff—quickly shared news of Ivan's latest achievements.

"I know him! Ivan Ambrosius!" said a first-year Hufflepuff enthusiastically at the House table, recounting Ivan's impressive performance in Herbology class to the older students.

"He protected us," the student continued. "He just raised his hand and told the mandrake to be 'quiet,' and it stopped crying immediately."

"I also heard he used three spells of his own creation in the Charms class," added another, recalling the demonstration Ivan gave in Flitwick's lesson. "Including that one spell he used to lead us when we arrived at school!"

"That's incredible! Is he really just a first-year wizard?" marveled a senior Hufflepuff.

Meanwhile, at the Ravenclaw table, the first-year students were also buzzing about the Charms class.

"He can already create new spells, and we've only just started school! Look over there," said one of the excited Ravenclaws, pointing to Ivan and Flitwick having lunch together. "I've never seen Professor Flitwick talk to a first-year student during lunch like that before!"

Compared to other Houses, Ravenclaw students have a deep admiration for wise individuals.

They take pride in their intelligence, and Professor Flitwick, being one of the best, is a source of great respect for them.

But now?

Seeing Professor Flitwick's expression when speaking with Ivan—his excitement so palpable that he seemed ready to break into a celebratory dance—made it clear just how remarkable Ivan was!

On the Gryffindor side, a crowd had gathered.

"I-I haven't talked with him.. much.. I.." Neville sat with red cheeks, feeling quite overwhelmed.

Being Ivan's roommate had suddenly made him the center of attention, and everyone was bombarding him with questions.

But how could Neville know anything?

Even if he did, his shy and introverted nature meant he wouldn't have the confidence to share.

"Hmph, that's Ivan, he is…"

Hermione, sitting nearby, saw everyone letting Neville off the hook and spoke up, clearly a little displeased.

"He's what?"

Seeing that Hermione seemed to know more, the older Gryffindor students quickly gathered around her, eager to extract any useful information.

Gryffindor loved heroic tales after all.

Ivan had performed spectacularly, and the young lions were eager to celebrate their newfound hero.

"..."

Hermione paused for a moment, remembering the truth behind Ivan's identity.

Ambrosius, the Eternal Family, the immortal descendant, the heir of Merlin.

These titles were far too dazzling. Hermione didn't want Ivan to stand out too much, so she carefully chose her words, avoiding the key details and didn't reveal Ivan's true identity.

"Tsk."

Meanwhile, over at the Slytherin table, the atmosphere was tense and quiet, a stark contrast to the excitement and admiration at the other three tables.

The praise and admiration for Ivan grated on the Slytherins' ears.

A mudblood from the Muggle world had already created and enhanced multiple spells, as soon as he entered Hogwarts. Why?!

The older Slytherin students might not have openly voiced their displeasure, but they were undoubtedly unhappy.

Normally, the Slytherins took pride in their superiority, but now this mudblood was stealing all the attention and praise.

Ivan's exceptional performance felt like a slap in the face to those pure-bloods who believed family lineage and heritage were paramount.

"Ambrosius—have you ever heard of that family in the wizarding world?"

Malfoy, still bitter from the 'lesson' Ivan had taught him on the train, didn't dare provoke him directly, but he couldn't resist belittling him in private.

However, even Malfoy had to admit that Ivan was truly remarkable.

Malfoy was arrogant, attention-seeking, and always liked being in the spotlight, but he wasn't blind to the gap between himself and Ivan.

In the original story, Malfoy had a love-hate relationship with Harry. Aside from their initial rivalry, the most significant reason was that, in Malfoy's eyes, Harry wasn't living up to his "savior" reputation.

Compared to the legend of the Boy Who Lived, after meeting him in person, Harry seemed to Malfoy like just a lucky boy with a scar.

The same thing was happening with Ivan in Malfoy's own little twisted world.

Malfoy, who had not yet experienced the humbling lessons life could offer, refused to admit that Ivan might actually be better than him.

"No."

"Never heard of it."

The senior Slytherin students were also curious about Ivan's background. "At least in the past two or three hundred years, there hasn't been a prominent wizard named Ambrosius in the wizarding world."

The pure-blood ideology, despite its flaws, carried some reasoning.

Even a witch like Hermione might have distant wizard ancestors, and their magical blood could have reappeared in her.

Of course, that's just speculation.

Muggles don't know about the existence of wizards, and wizards don't typically investigate these matters.

But according to mainstream wizarding knowledge, Ivan's exceptional magical talent hinted at a significant magical lineage.

"Then he's nothing special," Malfoy scoffed.

His father was on the school board, and the Malfoy family was incredibly wealthy. Even the Dark Lord once considered his father a trusted ally!

Ivan, regardless of his magical abilities, would likely end up as just a Hogwarts professor in the future.

Dumbledore?

Malfoy sneered at the idea. 'If you're so great, why don't you kick Dumbledore out?'

In Malfoy's mind, unless Ivan could one day become the headmaster of Hogwarts, there was no reason to fear him.

For now? He was just another student.

'Heh!'

Malfoy shifted his attention away from Ivan, stood up, and walked toward the Gryffindor table.

Young Master Malfoy didn't want to bother with Ivan; he was now looking to pick a fight with Scarhead.

"???"

Ivan noticed something unusual behind him. He glanced at Malfoy, who was getting closer to Harry, and he vaguely guessed that a confrontation was about to happen.

In response, Ivan smiled to himself, 'Malfoy really does have a thing for Harry.'

"Any other questions?" 

"No more," 

Ivan nodded. "Thank you, professor."

Flitwick waved off the gratitude, saying it wasn't necessary. He was a professor, and it was his duty to help his students solve their doubts.

During their conversation, Flitwick realized the extent of Ivan's talent. Although Ivan had only been learning magic for less than a month, the questions and ideas he raised surprised even Flitwick, a master duelist.

Professor Flitwick didn't find answering Ivan's questions troublesome at all; in fact, he enjoyed it. He just reminded Ivan to be cautious and was happy to address his curiosities.

"I'll handle getting your spells published in the magazine, Ivan. You don't need to worry about it," Flitwick added.

Flitwick was eager to see Ivan, as a first-year student, featured in The Future of Spells. It would be a proud moment for Hogwarts.

After all, Hogwarts wasn't ranked very high among the 11 magical schools in the world.

Thinking of the annual academic exchange meeting and discussing students with old friends from other countries, having an excellent student like Ivan to talk about, Flitwick suddenly felt excited. His small fists couldn't help but shake slightly with enthusiasm.

"Then I'll leave it to you, professor," Ivan said with a laugh, noticing Flitwick's small but excited movements.

There was a Transfiguration class scheduled for the afternoon, and Ivan had been looking forward to the older cat lady's class for a long time.

Before school started, Ivan had studied Transfiguration on his own, but there were too many obscure aspects he couldn't fully grasp.

Transfiguration was different from ordinary spells. It didn't have a fixed magical base, making it difficult for Ivan to analyze and break down like he could with improving or creating new spells.

How could one describe it?

If the Illumination Spell was set to a "1" on a scale of magic, then Transfiguration would be a spell with a lower limit of 0 and an upper limit of infinity.

Transfiguration involves the mind, will, and thinking. Through different proportions of these three elements, it can produce a variety of effects.

And the core principle behind Transfiguration? Two words—managing idealism!

Yes, idealism.

This was the conclusion Ivan reached after studying all of Hogwarts' Transfiguration textbooks.

The basis of Transfiguration lies in idealism.

What you want it to be, what attributes you want it to possess, and your subconscious definition of it.

Then, the transformation was successful...

'What the...?'

Ivan initially tried to approach Transfiguration with the scientific thinking from his previous life, but he quickly realized how naïve it was to attempt applying science to the world of magic.

To truly learn Transfiguration, one must first abandon the materialism of the previous life.

'Transfiguration is the most overpowered magic in this world.'

The more Ivan delved into Transfiguration, the more unfathomable it became to him.

It's no exaggeration to say that once you master the secrets of Transfiguration, the idea of "making a wish come true" would soon become a reality.

Whether it's tangible animals or plants, or even non-living things like stones or metal...

Even elements such as earth, water, wind, fire, and physical phenomena like temperature, air pressure, gravity—perhaps even space and time—can be influenced by a wizard who knows how to use Transfiguration.

'Nothing in the world can escape the concept of "change," and Transfiguration is about changing everything according to your wishes.'

In Ivan's mind, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that, compared to Transfiguration mastered by true wizards, black magic was simply insignificant!

And now, the cat lady of Hogwarts—Professor McGonagall—was standing on the desk, scanning the little wizards seated in the classroom.

'Hehe, she surprisingly looks cute. Maybe I can request her to play with Yummi?'

Imagining Yummi playing with a cat that suddenly transformed into McGonagall in front of her made Ivan chuckle.

Ivan was sitting in the first row, and next to him was Hermione, who was diligently flipping through the textbook.

Using his magical eye and spiritual vision, Ivan could clearly see the difference between Animagus transformation and Metamorphosis. 'The advanced level of Transfiguration that Old Dumbledore mentioned is indeed fundamentally different from temporary transformations.'

Ivan narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought back to the flowers and trees in the wardrobe world.

Interestingly, the traces of magic on the cat that Professor McGonagall had transformed into were strikingly similar to the plants and animals in the wardrobe world.

'Why is that?' Ivan mused.

He had his own guess: 'Could that world have been created through the permanent transformation that Dumbledore mentioned?'

'Permanent transformation... Animagus...'

As if realizing something profound, Ivan closed his magic perspective and decided to stop thinking further.

'Sharp child,' Professor McGonagall thought, noticing that Ivan was observing her intently, though she wasn't surprised. 'I wonder just how talented Ivan is in Transfiguration.'

Recalling how both Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick had praised Ivan, a smile played at the corner of the cat's mouth. She felt a surge of pride.

After all, what kind of little wizards had the Sorting Hat assigned to her house before? Troublemakers, pranksters, mischief-makers—the Weasley twins!

'I've suffered from their antics for years!' McGonagall thought, imagining her weariness in the form of a sighing cat.

But now, finally, she felt a sense of triumph. 'The Sorting Hat did something right for once—it knows who its real boss is.'

Their eyes met, and Ivan smiled and nodded.

McGonagall knew that Ivan had figured out her Animagus form.

But Professor McGonagall didn't immediately acknowledge Ivan. She waited patiently, eager to gauge the reactions of the rest of the class.

"Hurry!"

Just as some students were quietly getting ready, Harry and Ron rushed into the classroom, looking flustered.

"We made it," Ronald panted, relieved when he saw no one standing behind the desk. "If we were late, McGonagall would have given us a terrifying look."

Ivan glanced over at the cat on the desk and shook his head knowingly.

Swish!

At that moment, Professor McGonagall returned to her human form, startling many of the young wizards.

Harry and Ron, in particular, were utterly shocked, their jaws dropping.

"That's amazing!" Ron blurted out in awe.

"Thank you for your evaluation, Mr. Weasley," Professor McGonagall replied with a slight smile. "Perhaps I should turn you and Mr. Potter into pocket watches, so that at least one of you will know how to keep time."

"We got lost, Professor," Harry mumbled, feeling embarrassed. It was his first Transfiguration class, and being late wasn't exactly how he wanted to make an impression.

"Then perhaps I should turn you into a map," McGonagall said dryly.

Professor McGonagall did not really blame the two: "Find your seat, you don't need a map for that, right?"

After that, McGonagall walked back to the desk and started the formal class.

"Everyone open the textbook."

McGonagall explained the basic principles of Transfiguration to everyone, as well as some precautions.

"Does anyone know what the five exceptions are?"

After the words fell, a little hand was raised without a doubt, it was Hermione.

"Miss Granger, you answer it."

"There are five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, namely, the limit of food transfiguration, the inability to permanently transform living and dead things, the inability to produce magical items by transfiguration, the inability to change the number of transfigurations, and the inability to create something out of nothing by transfiguration."

"Very good."

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded: "Because of Miss Granger's excellent answer, Gryffindor will get 5 points."

The little witch was very happy to get the extra points.

After sitting down, she couldn't help but raise her head to Ivan, as if to say, 'Look, I can get extra points too.'
