Chapter 158: Can we be a guest in Knockturn Alley?
Facing the angry Harry, Ivan calmly explained.
"Harry! Knockoff Alley is a very dangerous place, you saw it just now.
The person I transformed into is not very old and has no deterrent effect. It is easy to be targeted by people just taking you like this, so it is better to be a little bit fierce and pretend to be a bad person. "
"Is that so?" Harry asked dubiously.
"Of course..." Ivan said with a vow.
Harry faintly felt that Ivan was fooling himself, but couldn't find evidence.
"By the way, Harry, why did you come to Knockdown Alley?" Ivan hurriedly changed the subject.
Naturally, Harry didn't mean to conceal it. He told him about the accidental use of Floo powder when he was choked by soot to pronounce the wrong words.
Ivan nodded, and it didn't seem to have changed much from the original, but I didn't know why he didn't meet Hagrid this time.
But after thinking about it, Ivan realized it again. Hagrid met Harry because he happened to buy something in Knockover Alley. As long as there is a slight error in time, the course of action of both sides will be diverged. It may be he who sent it. Some butterfly effects caused by the letter to George and Fred.
Fortunately, Harry was lucky enough to be able to meet himself, otherwise, the savior of the magic world might really be cold.
There were countless questions in Harry's heart, such as what Ivan was doing in Knockoff Alley, and why he became like that.
As the two walked all the way, Harry said one by one the questions in his heart.
"Why?" Ivan stopped moving forward, and then spoke to Harry.
"Because my house is in Knockdown Alley! I came out this time to buy books for the next school year. I am too young to be safe, so I have to use compound decoction to make myself look more deterrent."
"You live in such a dangerous place? Why don't you move to another place?" Harry looked at Ivan in surprise. He really couldn't understand how Ivan lived in such a place.
He had only been inside for a short while, and even so, he had already experienced the indifference and danger of Knockout Alley, and was almost dragged away by the street, so he had some psychological shadow on Knockout Alley.
"Of course it's because of poverty!" Ivan rolled his eyes and said, if he earned enough Jin Jialong, the ghost would be willing to stay there.
Harry was silent for a moment, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Ivan.
Before that, Harry had always thought that living in his uncle's house was the worst thing in the world.
But after seeing these people in Knockturn Alley, Harry suddenly felt that his living environment might not be too bad, at least no one would try to kidnap him there, let alone become someone else's when traveling like Ivan. Looks good.
Thinking that he and his parents had left a large inheritance, Harry hesitated whether to use it to help his best friends, perhaps by lending them to them first.
When Harry made up his mind to ask questions, Ivan shook his head amusedly and refused, then watched Harry and said.
"Did you not read the Daily Prophet? I have produced a new type of potion, which sells very well. The orders received today will flood my house. It won't be long before I can move out."
Harry nodded. He remembered that Mr. Weasley was stunned when he was reading the Daily Prophet in the morning, and he handed the newspaper to everyone.
Harry also saw the contents of the newspaper. The front page was a photo of Ivan and the Minister of Magic. It was written that Ivan had invented a potion that could treat werewolves, and made a significant contribution to the magical world.
It's a pity that Harry didn't know much about the magic world, and didn't quite understand the value of this potion.
However, he heard George and Fred conscientiously saying that Ivan must be able to get something called the Merlin Medal. Mrs. Weasley thought it was impossible because Ivan was too young. No wizard had ever been able to get it before. Received the Merlin Medal in this grade.
The three of them argued for several hours, and almost missed the time to come to Diagon Alley!
Along the way, Harry walked in the direction of Lihen Bookstore, while telling Ivan an interesting story about himself in the Burrow, and finally asked curiously.
"What is the Merlin Medal? I think everyone cares about it."
"That's a symbolic thing, it's not of much use!" Ivan said casually, thinking that this thing had Jin Jialong hair before, but it didn't work at all.
Harry didn't believe it, because Mr. Weasley was envious when he talked about the Merlin Medal, and Percy was even more jealous, threatening that he would definitely get it in a few years.
"Ivan... Harry!"
When the two reached Gringotts, they unexpectedly saw a little witch with shaggy hair in front of them greeted them.
"Hermione!" Ivan shifted the route and walked over. The little witch ran off the standing steps quickly, stepped up to hug him, and then broke free, chatting non-stop. .
"I wrote a lot of letters to you throughout the summer, but I don't know where you live. I wrote to Harry. I wanted to ask him, but he didn't reply at all."
Hermione was also a little angry when she said this, because Ivan hadn't sent her even a single letter throughout the summer, nor did Harry. She had clearly stated where her family lived.
Harry hurriedly explained, telling the story of Dobby's interception of the envelope.
Ivan was speechless. There were so many things that happened during his summer vacation. He couldn't stop all day long, otherwise he was obsessed with alchemy and couldn't help himself, so he completely forgot about this mess.
But looking at Hermione's angry look, Ivan had to start thinking about the reason~www.mtlnovel.com~ Fortunately, the Weasley family who was looking for Harry rushed over and diverted Hermione's attention.
"Harry, where were you teleported to just now?" Mr. Weasley said, breathing heavily. "Just now we have been searching for a long time and haven't found you, Molly is crazy!"
George, Ron, Fred and others who followed over noticed Ivan on the side and greeted him happily.
Harry also took advantage of this time to stray himself into Knockover Alley and was almost dragged away. Finally, he told me about Ivan's rescue.
In particular, it was mentioned that Ivan knocked down that nasty old witch all at once, so that the other party could only flee in embarrassment.
"It's cool! You deserve it!" George looked at Ivan and couldn't help but said. He thought this must be a wonderful adventure.
Fred also wanted to experience this stimulating feeling, so he said to Ivan.
"We always wanted to see it in Knockdown Alley, but it's a pity that my mother never let us get close there. Can we go to your house to play?"
