Chapter 74: 74: Most Loyal Followers!
'Hermione just came a few days earlier!'
The most important thing was that Parvati was very confident in her and her sister's appearance.
The two most beautiful little girls in the first year at Hogwarts—that title wasn't just for show.
Hermione was indeed very smart, but she didn't seem to know how to handle things outside of her studies.
The little witch who hadn't yet realized this wasn't taken seriously by Parvati.
There is a saying that women dress up to please themselves.
Since Hermione didn't seem to care about her image in front of Ivan, Parvati understood that her relationship with Ivan hadn't reached that stage yet.
'It is clear that this is just the possessiveness of a sister toward her brother.'
Parvati showed a shrewd look: 'You're still very weak, sister-in-law Hermione Granger.'
The atmosphere abroad is indeed much more open than in Ivan's previous life.
But thinking about it, when Ivan was this age in his previous life, many fourth and fifth-grade students were already talking about liking someone.
"Dumbledore has something to do recently, so he gave me a holiday."
Ivan didn't tell them about the Philosopher's Stone, but vaguely revealed, "The headmaster already knows about our small group. He thinks it's very good and has sponsored a trial as our semester assessment this year."
"Really?!"
Hearing that Dumbledore recognized them, Hermione and Parvati were immediately overjoyed.
This was recognition from the headmaster.
Their Mysterious Side was now an official group, like the professors' clubs!
"Ivan, can I, can I invite Padma to join?"
"Of course!"
Ivan said that any young wizard who wanted to improve could join, and it wasn't limited to first years.
"Senior grades can also join?"
Parvati was a little worried; after all, the Mysterious Side revolved around Ivan.
Ivan taught them magic on weekdays.
But if older students joined, would Ivan's position be shaken?
"Ivan's magic skills are no worse than those of the fifth and sixth years."
Hermione had seen Ivan's battles with her own eyes and had no doubt about his strength. "This is what Professor Flitwick said himself."
"I know, I never doubt Ivan's strength," Parvati said. "I'm just worried..."
Hermione didn't need Parvati to say it explicitly; she understood what Parvati meant.
The Mysterious Side was formed by Ivan with them.
The core and leader of the team—they only recognized Ivan, and it could only be Ivan.
"Heh~ Have some confidence in me, Parvati."
Ivan smiled and raised his hand, gently tapping the girl's head. "And it's just about sharing magic knowledge, who's in charge isn't important."
'Obviously, it is important!' Parvati thought to herself.
She glanced at Hermione, and the little witch nodded in tacit understanding: 'Ivan might not care, but we can't let our guard down.'
They were Ivan's most loyal supporters, and they would defend his reputation and status fiercely!
"What are you two doing, flirting with each other?"
"Ah?"
"Nothing, nothing."
The two girls were startled and quickly changed the subject.
"I heard from Professor Flitwick that senior students usually perform on Halloween Eve."
Hermione asked, "What kind of performance is it? A talent show?"
"That's a good suggestion, but Hogwarts doesn't have anything like that arranged for now."
Ivan shook his head and said, "The performance Professor Flitwick is referring to is when senior students use magic to decorate the Great Hall to enhance the festive atmosphere."
"In addition, there's also a Halloween choir."
"Every year, Professor Flitwick writes a song to start the dinner."
"Okay, let's go."
The Halloween dinner was still a while away, but the Great Hall could still be used for mingling and learning.
Ivan had already noticed many students heading to the Great Hall.
"Wow~~"
The Great Hall was beautifully decorated, and the colorful Halloween decorations instantly captured the attention of the two young witches.
The simulated dark night sky created by magic had occasional flashes of lightning, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
A thousand bats fluttered on the walls and ceiling, while another thousand flew like low dark clouds, circling and dancing above the dining tables, making the candles inside the pumpkins flicker and glow.
"This way!"
"Ivan! Hermione!"
Harry saw the three of them enter and hurriedly called them over.
Ron sat on the other side of Harry, silently eating the bat-shaped candies that appeared on the dinner plate, looking quite uncomfortable.
"Hmph!"
Hermione snorted coldly, not giving Ron any face, which made Harry feel very embarrassed.
The little witch sat across from Ivan and Neville with Parvati and Lavender.
The three of them whispered, and it was unclear what they were talking about.
"Ivan, what did Dumbledore want to talk to you about?"
"Some study plans."
Ivan picked up a red apple, only to find that it wasn't an apple, but made of syrup.
He took a bite, and the sweet cream burst out, filling him with a sense of happiness.
'Hogwarts' house-elves seem to have a special touch.'
Ivan enjoyed the pre-dinner dessert, and Harry continued, "Yeah, you're much better than us, and the first-year courses are probably meaningless to you."
Harry didn't envy Ivan for receiving Dumbledore's guidance.
It was like they were still learning addition and subtraction, while Ivan was learning advanced calculus from the school professor.
Of course, the most important thing was that Ivan never kept his knowledge to himself.
As long as it was magic knowledge suitable for them, Ivan would teach them sooner or later.
So, both Harry and even Ron, who was jealous of Ivan, felt that it was reasonable for Dumbledore to give Ivan special treatment.
Otherwise, what would be the point?
Wouldn't it be a waste of Ivan's time to have him learn the same things as them?
In this way, everyone chatted while tasting the sweets that kept appearing on the table.
During this time, Harry also handed a red candy to Ivan.
"What is this?"
"I don't know," Harry said. "George and Fred asked us to pass it to you, saying it tastes good."
"But I think there must be something wrong with this candy," Harry added. "So I think it's best not to eat it."
"They..."
Ivan just took the candy and already knew its function.
With the dual blessing of magic eyes and spiritual vision, all tricks were revealed.
"So what's the matter with this candy?" Harry was very interested. The pranks of the Weasley twins were famous after all.
"It doesn't have any special effects. It just makes your nose bleed after you eat it, but it will go away after a while."
This thing is called Nosebleed Nougat in the original book, and it's part of the Skiving Snackbox. Others include Fainting Fancies, Fever Fudge, Puking Pastilles, etc.
The Weasley twins were clearly trying to get back at Ivan for the previous Levitation prank.
