From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

After the third-year final exams, the hall was full of people who came to have dinner, including Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"This year's Quidditch World Cup will be held in the UK." Ron, who was sitting at the dining table, stared at Malfoy at another long table with envy. "Malfoy's father became a senior official in the ministry, and now he always looks at people with his nose when he walks."

"Quidditch World Cup?" Harry didn't remember hearing this name, even though the news had appeared around them a long time ago.

Ever since Ivy came back, Harry's mind was all on his parents who were about to be resurrected.

After the Potters were resurrected, he focused on reviewing again. The motivation of not disappointing his parents always spurred him on. Even Hermione, who had used the time converter for a school year, was surprised by his motivation.

"Yes, the world Quidditch sport, a grand event for all Quidditch players!" Ron said fascinatedly, "The schedule is two months long! It just covers our summer vacation, but the group stage has never been very popular, so there won't be many people watching. But on the day of the final, the venue will definitely be packed with people!"

"Plenty of people?" Hermione expressed doubt. She thought that the wizards in the whole UK might not be more than the Muggles in a small city, so even if the scope is expanded to the whole world, the number of wizards will not be much more.

"I don't know the exact number, but it must be more than 100,000!" Ron raised ten fingers, trying to scare Hermione.

Unexpectedly, she just nodded calmly and said, "This number is indeed quite high."

Ron was a little disappointed with Hermione's calm reaction, and turned his head to continue staring at Malfoy.

"Why are you always staring at Malfoy?" Harry followed Ron's line of sight to the Slytherin table. Even after finishing the final exam, Ivy did not sit at the table, but the news that he returned from studying abroad had already spread throughout Hogwarts.

"Oh, his father became the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, you remember?" Ron explained, "That department is responsible for such international affairs, so he will definitely be able to get a ticket. I heard that the minister's box on the top floor is luxurious!"

Harry didn't care much about the luxury of the box, but was thinking about the possibility of watching the Quidditch World Cup with his parents.

But when he thought that they and Sirius still owed Ivy money, Harry felt that he should not expect such high consumption.

But it was okay to listen to the news from Ron to satisfy his craving.

"The competition lasts for two months, where will so many wizards live?" Harry asked curiously. Hermione closed her book and listened attentively. She was also curious about the way wizards travel, especially when facing such a long-lasting large-scale event. It should be impossible for wizards to travel between the stadium and their homes every day.

"Maybe there is a magic hotel or something?" Hermione expressed her opinion.

"Magic hotel? What is that? A branch of the Leaky Cauldron?" Ron was obviously amused, "Of course wizards have to live in tents! The kind that can accommodate many people! I think it's very interesting. If we can go to the Quidditch World Cup, we can see that kind of thing!"

"Live around the stadium for two months?" Hermione looked at Ron disapprovingly, "How are you going to complete your summer homework?"

"Of course, take your summer homework with you." Ron said nonchalantly.

"From what I know about you, you will definitely not remember to do your summer homework." Hermione had an expression of "I have seen through you a long time ago."

"Hey!" Harry said to attract their attention, "You know what? I'm going to get rid of the Dursleys completely!"

"Really?" Ron said in surprise, "You should have lived with Sirius a long time ago! My mother was worried that you would blow up the kitchen!"

"Congratulations!" Hermione said sincerely. Although she had never met Harry's uncle and aunt, she could judge the virtue of this family just from the letters Harry sent during the summer vacation.

Harry was about to continue talking, but he saw a beautiful fiery red bird on the long table - Phoenix Spark.

"Oh!" Harry exclaimed, "It's Ivy's Phoenix!"

"And there's a letter!" Ron pointed to a very formal-looking envelope in the Phoenix's mouth.

The gorgeous golden red bird placed the letter in front of Harry, flapped its wings and flew away. Everyone in the hall saw the sparks left when it flew.

"Open it!" Ron said impatiently, "See what Ivy has told you again?"

"Harry should read it first, and then decide whether we are suitable to know it." Hermione was much calmer. She had just spent a safe semester without any accidents at Hogwarts, and now she was very satisfied with such a life.

"Don't worry Hermione, this is from Ivy to the three of us." Harry pointed to the recipients on the envelope, and there were indeed three very formal names filled in: Harry James Potter, Ronald Bilius Weasley, and Hermione Jane Granger.

"What is this? An invitation to the ball?" Ron laughed, "No one has ever written my name on the envelope! Of course, letters from Hogwarts don't count, I guess it was done by the house elves."

For children of Ron's age, all behaviors that treat them as adults will win their favor. It was for this reason that Ivy wrote their names on the envelope.

"It's Professor McGonagall who writes to us every summer!" Hermione glared at Ron, "Don't you ever read the content of the letter?"

"It's the tickets for the Quidditch World Cup!" Harry pulled out a bunch of colorful papers from it, "Enough for us to bring all our family members!"

"Oh my God!" Ron exclaimed, holding his head, "He is so generous! Look at what kind of box it is?"

"It's definitely not the Minister's Box." Hermione picked up the letter that fell out with the World Cup tickets, "It says it's a quiet private box, he doesn't think we like sitting with boring adults."

"I do need some family company." Harry admitted, and at the same time thought in his heart that this was a good opportunity to introduce his parents to his friends.

"This is a package ticket!" Ron cheered again, attracting the attention of others in the hall, "Starting from the most exciting quarterfinals! All the way to the final day!"

"So, we have to prepare tents?" Hermione nodded, then asked, "Where can I buy this kind of thing? Is it expensive?"

"I don't know." Ron shrugged and began to look for parchment in his schoolbag. Fortunately, the last exam today was the History of Magic, otherwise he would never carry a schoolbag during the holidays, "But I think we should write to ask our family, maybe they can have better suggestions."

"Which team should we support?" Harry asked a more pointed question. Since it was not a club competition within the British wizarding world, Harry could not blindly choose Ron's favorite Chudley Cannons.

"We have four teams!" Ron was not worried at all, "There will always be one that can make it to the finals, right?"

According to the long-standing separatist tendencies of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, all Commonwealth member states can send their own teams to participate in sports events.

So even in the British Isles, the UK can send four teams, namely Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.

Harry and Hermione were shocked, and then decided to support the one with the best results. If two teams have the same results, they will give them equal support.

"Okay, we can't go to the Quidditch World Cup until August!" Hermione put away the tickets on the table and put them back into the envelope. "You two have eaten, right? Now let's check the answers!"

Ron and Harry looked at each other and turned their attention back to the dinner on the table.

————

In addition to the trio who cheered for Ivy's letter, Ivy himself was staring at the envelope in front of him with a confused look.

It was an envelope that seemed to be constantly changing. The five colors of blue, green, red, white and black were constantly appearing alternately, outlining various mysterious patterns, including geometric fractal structures, wonderful fragments of beautiful poems, fragments of past history, chaotic transformation of gorgeous elements, and the mystery of life and death in the natural cycle.

The wax sealing the envelope was a pattern of overlapping five-pointed stars and five-petal flowers. Ivy was sure that he had seen something similar, in the textbooks of Strijha College.

Ivy couldn't understand how this letter appeared on his desk.

You have to know that this is in the Room of Requirement. Who could sneak in here so secretly and put this letter in the most conspicuous position on the desk?

He just went out to take the last exam of the sixth grade at Hogwarts, and when he came back, he saw such a thing. Of course, you can imagine his confusion and puzzlement.

Although he had heard of the school's mission and knew that this magic university was determined to recruit students from every corner of the multiverse, he really didn't know that they had the ability to invade a wizard's private space.

Could it be because of the textbooks he exchanged from the Destruction Grimoire?

Ivy took down the textbooks of the Treasure Academy on the bookshelf, checked them over and over again, and finally confirmed that there was indeed such a positioning magic on them, but according to his eyes, the person who left this magic on them was more like a librarian than the director of the admissions office.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

That positioning magic only exists to facilitate positioning in the vast bookshelf, not to determine the coordinates of the multiverse.

However, to a certain extent, if there is a legendary wizard who is proficient in prophecy spells in Strixhaven, then it is indeed possible to deliver the envelope in front of Ivy.

Ivy calmed down. Although he didn't know how the teachers of Strijhaven recruited students, it was obviously unlikely to ask students to cast spells to go to school.

"The most likely scenario is that this is a letter with a teleportation spell, which can teleport students directly to the universe where Strijhaven is located." Ivy held his chin and thought for a while, and finally came to this conclusion.

Since he didn't know what kind of action would trigger the possible teleportation spell, Ivy decided to use the spell to detect magic aura to check it first.

Recently, Ivy found a new five-ring spell in the Destruction Grimoire, called Magic Permanence.

Its effect is very simple, which is to transform certain spells with a duration into permanent effects.

However, every time the magic effect is fixed, the caster must pay a certain amount of experience points.

The magic that Ivy is interested in is the third-ring prophecy magic, arcane vision.

Its effect is to allow the caster to see all the magic auras within 120 feet and know their strength and location. And this spell does not require the caster to maintain concentration. Once released, it will take effect for a long time. After being stabilized by the magic constant spell, it can be turned on and off according to Ivy's thoughts.

The strength of the magic aura that appears in the field of vision depends on the spellcasting ability of the caster who releases the spell. If the magic aura is an item, then the strength of the aura depends on the spellcasting ability of the maker.

If there is no obstruction between the magic aura that appears in the field of vision and the caster of arcane vision, then the caster can maintain concentration to determine the magic school of the relevant aura. Of course, the premise is that the caster has relevant knowledge.

If Ivy stabilizes this spell for himself, it will be quite easy to find the magic items made by wizards because he has knowledge of spells in this area.

This spell can also work on creatures, allowing Ivy to tell whether the creature in front of him has spellcasting ability or spell-like ability, how strong this ability is, and what the source of this spellcasting ability is, provided that Ivy has seen similar sources.

Constant arcane vision consumes a total of one third-ring spell slot and one fifth-ring spell slot, as well as 1,500 experience points.

Ivy originally wanted to wait until the end of the exam to keep this effect constant for himself, but now that he encountered a letter from Strijhaven that he didn't know whether it had magic attached, he could experiment with the effect on the spot.

Sprinkling a handful of silver powder in the air, Ivy used the ability to control the breeze to let the silver powder fall to the ground to form a circular rune array.

These days, the element he has been praying for has always been the wind element. Being able to fly is indeed a very useful ability. Now Ivy hardly walks with his legs.

After performing [Wind Element Prayer] many times, Ivy can also use his will to influence the surrounding air and perform some precise operations such as drawing rune arrays.

Ivy's eyes were filled with blue light. The secret vision had been successfully cast. The strong magic aura in the room almost knocked him down.

Ivy said "wrong decision" secretly, and chose to close his eyes to release the magic constant spell. The rune array had been prepared in advance. Now he only needed to pay a certain amount of experience points. The previous dedication of Voldemort's soul fragments finally came in handy.

Perhaps because Ivy often used [Eye Spell] to store magic in his eyes, the effect of the secret vision was stronger than Ivy imagined, and even came with a little perspective effect. He could now see through relatively simple and thin materials such as wood and paper.

There are two kinds of magic auras on the letter from Strijhaven. The former is given to the surface of the envelope, which is an illusion aura of ordinary strength, while the latter is emitted through the envelope. It is a very strong spell system. Only the eighth and ninth ring spells have similar effects.

The illusion aura is easy to guess, it must be used to decorate the envelope.

Ivy could think of only one 8th or 9th level spell with a similar effect to cosmic teleportation, and that was the 9th level portal.

This spell was similar to the arcane portal that Ivy used when fighting Smaug, but the scope of opening the portal was expanded to between two different planes. Other than that, the effects were basically similar, except that it only lasted for one minute.

If Ivy's guess was correct, then Strixhaven was a bit too extravagant, using 9th level spells just to recruit students!

What spells were they going to teach in Strixhaven? Legendary spells?

Aren't they afraid that these legendary spellcasters would start a school brawl and blow up the entire school?

Ivy shook his head and carefully used telekinesis to flip the envelope. The result seemed to be inspired by Ivy's magic, and a string of words that had never been seen before appeared in the blank space of the envelope:

"Discover and preserve magical knowledge, and let this knowledge be passed down from generation to generation; advocate learning all kinds of magic in a free and open way, and improve the lives of people in the multiverse through the use of magic."

-The purpose of the school of Strixhaven Magic University

Below the purpose of the school is a string of smaller words:

"Dear Mr. Ivy Doom, congratulations on being admitted to Strixhaven Magic University! This school is a multiverse magic university established in the time and space of Aquavivo, determined to accept students from different worlds, different races, and different cultures, and provide them with the best magic education..."

Ivy skipped a self-congratulatory sentence commonly used by Muggle universities, and saw the note on the last line:

"Once this envelope is sent, it will be valid forever until Ivy Doom opens it, dies, or loses the ability to cast spells. A teleportation magic is enclosed, which can be triggered by peeling off the sealing wax."

This is actually an admission letter! An admission letter for a nine-ring spellcaster!

Before seeing these small words, Ivy also thought about the possibility that this was a letter of employment. A nine-ring spellcaster should be able to be a doctoral supervisor even in a magic university, right?

Why do I have to go to school?

However, since there is no set enrollment time, Ivy doesn't have to rush at all. He should clean up the wizarding world first. At least he should have a Hogwarts diploma, right? He wants to see if this magic university is really worthy of its name!

The acceptance letter from another world gave Ivy a lot of motivation. He couldn't wait to make Voldemort's head into a broken-mouthed head.
