From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Ivy was following Dumbledore and Snape to the principal's office on the eighth floor of the main tower.

"A lot must have happened in the British wizarding world over the past 100 years, right?" Ivy's question was the first to break the silence in the air.

No one answered...

After turning two stairs, Dumbledore slowly spoke: "Anyone's narration is subjective. Why not treat the changes in the wizarding world over the past 100 years as a puzzle and explore it from your own perspective? Mr. Doom?"

Perhaps because Ivy's question was too general, Dumbledore didn't know where to start. More importantly, he didn't know what Ivy knew about the wizarding world.

"Okay..." Ivy responded without comment, but soon asked a second question, "Has the purpose of Hogwarts changed? What about the teaching method?"

"Nothing special, except opening the brains of those idiots over and over again and stuffing knowledge into them..." Snape said in a dry tone without turning his head.

"I mean, can I go back to Hogwarts to continue my studies? You know, I only studied here for one year, and I didn't even take the Ordinary Wizarding Exam Level Test!" Ivy made it clear. For him, Hogwarts is a Feng Shui treasure land, and it's 1991 now, and the plot is about to begin! How could he miss this?

"Once we understand the whole situation, we will make proper arrangements for you. Believe me, Mr. Doom." Dumbledore stopped, turned around and said to Ivy seriously, "When we get to my office, we can have a good chat."

"As you wish, professor." Ivy closed his mouth politely.

"Lemon Sherbet." As Dumbledore read the password, the stone statue at the door of the principal's office bowed slightly and made way, and a stone staircase appeared step by step.

The principal's office is a circular room as a whole. Ivy feels that it has not changed much from more than a hundred years ago.

In addition to the bookcases filled with books, there are display cabinets of various strange magic props, and the walls are covered with portraits of past principals. However, if there is any difference between Dumbledore's office and Phineas Black's office, it is that there is a glass case displaying the sword of Gryffindor, and the phoenix Fawkes standing on the branch of the gilded tree.

"It should be summer vacation now, but why is there a little wizard standing here? Albus?" A portrait of a headmaster spoke up, and Ivy didn't know him.

"Even if he is on probation, it will not be carried out in the summer vacation, so something unusual must have happened. I heard that Harry Potter will be enrolled this year..." said another portrait of the headmaster.

Ivy couldn't help but interrupt: "Harry Potter? Is he famous?"

"That's not something you should care about." Snape's cold words stopped the portraits from answering. He conjured a chair for Ivy and pressed him on it roughly.

"Phineas! Phineas Nigellus Black?" Dumbledore called Professor Black's name while searching back and forth between the portraits on the wall, "Please, help me find where he is."

"Oh! The greatest white magician of the 20th century also asks me for help one day? How strange." A voice that sounded less welcome came from the other side of the wall, and the three living people in the room turned their eyes away.

"Great, Phineas!" Dumbledore sat back in his chair when he saw the portrait of Phineas Black speak, and extended his hand to introduce him, "This is your student, Ivy Doom. Do you still remember him?"

"Ivy Doom?" Phineas Black's voice was full of confusion, "The professors reported to me that you were dead, but how did you survive until now? And become... so young?"

"Anyway, it's some kind of magical accident that no one knows the principle of." Ivy spread his hands and asked back, "I'm curious why Headmaster Black chose such an old portrait as proof of his status as the headmaster."

"It seems that you do know each other. In this case, Mr. Doom's identity as a Hogwarts student has been confirmed." Dumbledore's wise eyes flashed, and he picked up a candy that kept making a "clicking" sound from the plate and threw it into his mouth, "Chew~ Can you talk about ancient magic?"

"Huh ~" Phineas Black made a strange sound with the nose on the portrait, "Although it sounds like that, it's nothing compared to modern magic. What can be done with ancient magic can also be done with modern magic, and in comparison, ancient magic is more difficult to control, barbaric and primitive. Isn't that kid turned into what he is now because of ancient magic?"

Ivy rolled his eyes: "This is a necessary sacrifice to stop the goblin Lanlock, even if it happens again..."

"I noticed you mentioned sacrifice?" Dumbledore interrupted Ivy's speech, "What kind of thing requires a child to sacrifice himself?"

"Things are actually very complicated, I'll try to be brief." Ivy tried to organize his words, "I am an ancient magic affinity, Professor Figo found me and guided me to study at Hogwarts. At the same time, there was a dark wizard named Rookwood who colluded with the goblin Lanlock and set their sights on the power of ancient magic. "

"Among the many professors at Hogwarts, there are those who have been secretly passing on the secrets of ancient magic. They built a secret vault under Hogwarts, which is the secret room where you found me."

"Lanlock used the goblin magic silver to control many magical animals to work for him, and got its specific location through the goblins who built the secret vault. Finally, he used a drill to drill through the mountain wall and came directly to the basement of Hogwarts."

"At that time, all the professors at Hogwarts joined the battle. They were outside blocking Lanlock's followers, and Professor Figo and I faced Lanlock in the deepest part of the secret vault. In order to defeat him, I had to release the power in the secret vault."

"Later, I saw you, and my body became like this."

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Snape said with a suspicious look on his face: "A Muggle who has never received any magic education defeated the threat of the wizarding world in just one year of study? Maybe I should take the students to visit your brain, maybe it will help them get more certificates in O.W.L.s."

"Because I have special learning props!" Ivy took out a book from his arms, "Wizards' Field Guide!"

"Wow! How did it become like this?" Ivy looked at the gorgeous magic book in his hand in surprise. The original "Wizards' Field Guide" was just an ordinary notebook wrapped in cowhide book cover and parchment as pages, but now it has become a gorgeous and elegant magic book decorated with gems and gold and silver lines.

"Maybe it should have a new name!" Ivy scratched his chin, "Ivy Doom's Spell Tome!"

"Doom Spell Tome?" Snape frowned, thinking that things were not simple.

"Oh! That's a good name too, I like it!" Ivy applauded his misunderstanding.
