Chapter 700: Chaos on the Pitch

Ivan waved his wand to quell the chaos caused by Bangfire, then looked at George and the others with a rather helpless expression.

"George, Fred, even if you want to help me celebrate, you didn't have to pull a prank like this, did you?"

"No, we have something important to discuss with you, so we had to use this method..." Fred shook his head.

George added, "To be precise, Ron has something important to tell you!"

Ivan turned his head in surprise, but before he could ask, Ron spoke urgently. "Ivan, Sirius Black... Sirius Black just took Harry away!"

Hearing this, Ivan immediately realized something was wrong and his brow furrowed. "Why did he take Harry? What's the reason?"

"Sirius Black said it was Professor Dumbledore's order. He was told to take Harry to that village for better protection..." Ron panted out his reply.

"That's impossible!" Ivan interrupted Ron, "A few days ago, Professor Dumbledore told Harry to stay at the school for his own safety. If he changed his mind, Sirius Black should have informed me."

"Right! I also think Sirius Black is acting strange today. When Harry encountered the Blast-Ended Skrewt in the Maze, he didn't seem worried at all. And after the match, he didn't even congratulate Harry first, which he usually would have done with great enthusiasm!"

Ron blurted out all the suspicious points about Sirius Black, then hesitated before guessing, "I think he might be under the Imperius Curse!"

"How long ago did they leave?" Hermione was extremely anxious, "Ivan, don't you have the Marauder's Map? Check where they are now!"

Ivan understood the urgency of the situation and didn't bother with the usual secrecy. He pulled out an old, crumpled parchment from his pocket and pointed his wand at it.

"I solemnly swear I am up to no good!"

Fine ink lines spread from the tip of his wand, forming a detailed map of the entire castle.

Ivan's eyes quickly scanned the map, filtering through the many names. His gaze soon stopped at the entrance hall.

According to the Marauder's Map, Harry had already left the entrance hall. What puzzled Ivan was that Sirius Black's name was not there.

Just as he felt surprised, Harry's name suddenly vanished from the map.

"Harry has already been taken away?" Ron, who had also seen this, felt a chill run down his spine.

"But how did Sirius Black manage that? Did he use a Portkey?" Hermione speculated.

"It's not a Portkey! If he could have taken Harry directly, he would have done so earlier. There's no need to wait until now", Ivan dismissed Hermione's guess. The entire Hogwarts castle was protected by specific magic, except for the tournament grounds.

So Ivan believed that Sirius Black and Harry were still in the castle. The disappearance of Harry's name likely meant they used a method to temporarily shield themselves from the Marauder's Map, similar to what Dumbledore had done before.

Hermione quickly thought of the same thing and murmured, "If it's not a Portkey, they must be trying to use the secret passage under the Whomping Willow to get to Hogsmeade and then Apparate Harry to Voldemort..."

Ivan nodded, agreeing that this was a strong possibility, though it couldn't be confirmed with absolute certainty. There were other passages leading to Hogsmeade as well.

"What are we waiting for? We need to find Harry now! We might still be able to stop them!" Ron said in a hurry.

"No, Ron, I'll go alone to find Harry! I can transform into my Animagus form and fly, giving me a wide view. As long as they're still in Hogwarts, I'll find them", Ivan said with a serious expression.

Hermione and Ron hesitated but didn't argue, only asking, "What about us? What should we do now?"

"You need to find Professors Snape and Flitwick. They're in their offices and can probably contact Professor Dumbledore. Your job is to notify him as quickly as possible!" Ivan said gravely.

Hermione and Ron nodded in unison, and Ivan didn't say anything more, preparing to perform the Boggart Transformation.

However, an explosion suddenly echoed from the Maze, followed by chaos in the front. Many young wizards ran over in terror, their cries and screams filling the air.

"Run, the monsters are coming out of the Maze!"

"It's a Blast-Ended Skrewt..."

"Mum... where are you?"

...

Ivan instinctively looked in that direction and saw an irregular gap in the side of the Maze's hedge. Several Blast-Ended Skrewts were spewing flames as they charged out.

The Aurors guarding nearby were caught off guard and panicked, firing spells at the Blast-Ended Skrewts' shells. However, their efforts were futile, only managing to slow the creatures down.

A moment later, several Giant Spiders emerged, quickly breaking through the Aurors' defenses.

"Useless!" Ivan cursed, five Aurors unable to handle some rampaging magical creatures, allowing them to escape...

Ivan found himself in a dilemma. If he went to help, it would delay his search for Harry. But if he did nothing, what about the students here?

Rely on these Aurors?

As he thought this, Ivan's heart grew colder. He realized that this was probably all part of Voldemort's plan, designed to keep him occupied...

While he hesitated, a Giant Spider charged over, its thick front legs aimed at a terrified first-year young wizard. Without thinking, Ivan drew his wand to save the student.

But someone was faster. A red beam struck the monstrous Giant Spider, sending it flying.

"Mother? Weren't you about to go home?" Ivan looked ahead in surprise as Asia pushed her way through the chaos.

"I was just about to, but then this happened..." Asia turned and responded, then looked toward the Maze and continued, "You have something urgent to do, right? We'll take care of this... go on!"

Although she hadn't heard Ivan's conversation with Hermione and Ron, the worry on his face was obvious, and Asia could tell.

On the other side, Mrs. Weasley and Bill had already taken down a Blast-Ended Skrewt and were organizing the Hogwarts young wizards to a safe place.

After regaining their composure, the five Aurors quickly cast spells to repair the gap in the Maze, ensuring no more creatures would escape!

Seeing this, Ivan felt somewhat relieved. After instructing Asia to be careful, he immediately transformed into a massive eagle and took to the sky...

"Animagus Transformation? Impressive! Few can achieve that at his age", Mrs. Weasley remarked.

"Of course! He's my son..." Asia said with pride.

...

"Damn, where are they? They can't have left already, right?" Ivan flapped his wings, soaring above Hogwarts, his eagle eyes scanning the ground below, but he found no sign of Harry or Sirius Black.

He seemed to have arrived a bit late...

Ivan grew increasingly anxious. He had no idea of Voldemort's exact location and had never been to Riddle House, so even if he wanted to stop the rituals, he couldn't.

"Maybe I should check Hogsmeade first. They might still be there", Ivan thought, flying toward the Whomping Willow outside the castle, hoping to find some clues in Hogsmeade.

As Ivan approached quickly, a large black dog suddenly emerged from the Secret Passage under the Whomping Willow...

"Sirius Black!" Ivan recognized him immediately.

Although he was puzzled about why Harry wasn't with him and why Sirius Black was in his Animagus form, Ivan didn't have time to think. He immediately gave chase...
