Hogwarts Bloodline

Chapter 3 Scattered Memories

A heart-piercing blow? Or burning to death with Fiendfire? Ivan shuddered as he thought about the tragic experience that might happen, and tried hard to retrieve the memories of his original body. He didn't know if it was because of the time travel, but these memories seemed to be scattered and hidden deep inside, and Ivan could not find anything no matter how hard he tried. "Damn it, if I could remember more memories, that would be great." Ivan muttered to himself with a headache. It seemed that he had to learn Legilimency before the end of the semester, and then find a way to borrow the Pensieve in the principal's office to sort out his memories, otherwise he would be exposed. Speaking of which, Ivan didn't even know where his home was now. It was rare for a time traveler to be able to get to his level. "Harry Potter!" Just as Ivan was thinking about how to get into the Restricted Books Area and learn Legilimency, Professor McGonagall's high-pitched voice drew Ivan's attention back to the Sorting Ceremony. Not only Ivan, at this moment, all the young wizards and professors turned their eyes to the stage, as if it was a replay of Ivan's appearance on stage, but it was obvious that Ivan's little specialness could not compare with the prestige of the savior. As a little wizard wearing glasses, a little thin and cramped, came on stage, there was a warm applause from the audience. The second-year Gryffindors next to Ivan clapped their hands until they were red, staring at the forehead covered by a little hair, as if they expected to see the lightning-shaped scar. "Harry Potter? Is she talking about that Harry Potter?" "My mother said that he defeated the mysterious man as soon as he was born!" "I really hope he can be sorted into Gryffindor!" Ivan also applauded and welcomed him with the crowd, otherwise he would be too unique in this seat. Of course, Ivan also felt that this was the honor Harry deserved. After all, Harry's miserable life of being bullied in his childhood was caused by the death of his parents. If it weren't for Lily Potter sacrificing her life to cast a protective spell that made the powerful Voldemort lose his power, who knows how many people in the wizarding world would have died. When they heard that Harry Potter would enter Gryffindor, the little wizards in the whole audience were so happy. The Weasley twins hugged each other excitedly, shouting "Potter! We have Potter!", while the applause from the Slytherin side was much lighter. Especially the Slytherin prefect leaning in the front row, when he heard the Sorting Hat say that Harry refused to enter Slytherin, his face was not very good. Ivan watched everything silently, and smiled softly, knowing that this was because Harry's aura of savior was still there. After a while, when everyone found out that Harry Potter was just an ordinary little wizard besides the title, they might not care so much. Ivan complained in his heart, but when he looked up at Dumbledore who was smiling at Harry, he suddenly felt that the Slytherin prefect's worries were right. After all, with the help of the headmaster, the Savior would have no chance of winning the House Cup in the next few semesters. Seeing Harry walk down from the stage, Gryffindor prefect Percy Weasley could not wait to shake hands with him vigorously the second Harry stepped down from the stage. Most people also vacated their seats next to them, as if they wanted to have a good chat with the Savior. Even George and Fred ran to join in the fun, and Ivan's side was suddenly empty. Ivan did not intend to join in the fun, and enjoyed the feast in front of him as if it had nothing to do with him. It is said that the food in the UK is authentic black cuisine, but the food in Hogwarts is unexpectedly good. Ivan thought that this might be related to the fact that the food in Hogwarts is made by house-elves, not British wizards. Ivan seemed to feel someone was watching him. He looked up and saw Dumbledore looking at him with his silver-blue eyes. Ivan was not at all shy. He smiled at Dumbledore in a well-behaved and shy way, and then put a large piece of cake into his mouth and swallowed it in two or three bites. Perhaps it was because Ivan was a foodie, or maybe Dumbledore was just in a momentary mood. After smiling back, the greatest white wizard turned his gaze to other places. After the sorting ceremony, there was still plenty of time for the young wizards to eat. Ivan ate until he couldn't hold on any longer, and Dumbledore waved his wand to remove the leftovers. The food on the table disappeared without a trace, just as it had suddenly appeared before. The magical magic was no longer strange to the senior wizards who had seen it many times, but it was still very novel to Ivan, who was really seeing magic for the first time. Dumbledore stood up slowly at this time, and the eyes of the whole audience were focused on the stage. "Ha, now that we are all full and satisfied, I will say a few more words. I will now announce a few notices for the start of the school year." Dumbledore's voice echoed in the hall, and his eyes swept across the freshmen standing below the stage, and then looked at the Weasley brothers. "Freshmen should pay special attention: students are strictly prohibited from entering the woods on the playground. I think senior students should also remember this." "Our administrator Mr. Filch asked me to remind you that you are not allowed to use magic in the corridor during class breaks." "The Quidditch player test will be held in the second week." After briefly emphasizing the rules that apply every semester, Dumbledore paused briefly and raised his voice again. "Finally, I must warn you that those who don't want to die miserably should not go to the corridor on the fourth floor on the right hand side within this year!" After listening to this, Ivan couldn't help but complain about Dumbledore's fishing remarks. Just saying how dangerous it is, but not revealing any other information, not even saying why they can't go there, with such a mysterious look, how can some curious little wizards resist? Sure enough, Dumbledore's stern warning didn't seem to have the desired effect. Several freshmen even laughed out loud, while the senior students had serious expressions on their faces. Of course, those with serious expressions did not include the Weasley brothers. The two were secretly discussing something. Ivan guessed that they would most likely go to the corridor where people could die tragically. But Ivan felt that before that, Dumbledore would talk to them in person in advance, or let the administrator Filch keep a close eye on them. Lest they cause any trouble.
