Chapter 716: End-of-Term Summary
Chapter 716: End-of-Term Summary
After searching through Winky's memories, Ivan unexpectedly saw a few familiar faces—people he had once encountered in Knockturn Alley!
However, upon closer inspection, it seemed quite normal. During the last Wizarding War, the Death Eaters who escaped punishment generally fell into three categories.
Some, like Lucius Malfoy, used their power and wealth to clear their names. Others, like Karkaroff, saved their lives by betraying their fellow Death Eaters.
As for the remaining Death Eaters, they managed to evade the Aurors and avoid capture, with most of them living under the threat of their crimes in Knockturn Alley...
These individuals were significant sources of instability, and their presence in Knockturn Alley was a constant threat. Therefore, Ivan planned to conduct a major cleanup of Knockturn Alley upon his return, rooting out and eliminating these Death Eaters.
Additionally, he needed to complete the System's assigned task to reform Knockturn Alley, which would earn him three Legendary Points. If he combined these with the Legendary Points he had earned from winning the Triwizard Cup, he would be able to immediately perform his next Bloodline Fusion, enhancing his strength!
Although Dumbledore had once said that having too much power was not a good thing, Ivan no longer had a choice.
After all, delving deeper into the power of blood magic was a lengthy process, and there was a lack of resources to aid him. The only thing he could do was spend a great deal of time researching and practicing.
And what he lacked most was time!
No one knew how much longer Dumbledore could hold out, and Voldemort, once healed, could strike at any moment. When that happened, even Hogwarts might no longer be safe.
So, Ivan had to choose to dig deeper into the power of his bloodline while also fusing more bloodlines, working on both simultaneously. Only by doing so would he not be too passive when facing Voldemort in the future...
With a heavy heart, Ivan walked out of the Kitchen, picked up his packed luggage, and left the castle with Harry and the others, preparing to board the Thestral-drawn carriage to Hogsmeade Station.
As they passed through the entrance hall, Ivan unexpectedly saw the Beauxbatons students gathered on the spacious lawn outside, with the bulky Hagrid enthusiastically helping Madame Maxime harness two Hippogriffs.
"Hey, Ivan!" Fleur, who was waiting for the carriage, saw Ivan and the others approaching and immediately walked over, extending her hand and speaking.
"Thanks for what happened last time. You saved Gabrielle and me, and I will remember this kindness. I really hope we get to see each other again someday..."
"That was just a competition, not really a life-saving act. Even without me, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't have let anything happen to you!" Ivan said with a hint of helplessness, shaking Fleur's hand. He hadn't expected her to still remember that incident.
Fleur smiled. She naturally understood that point, but it didn't stop her from being grateful for Ivan's help in such a dangerous situation.
"Are you leaving today? Will you come back?" Ron looked somewhat reluctant to part, completely oblivious to Lavender glaring at him from a distance.
"Yes, we're leaving soon!" Fleur nodded, then smoothed her long, silvery hair and gave the group a bright smile.
"However, I've already graduated from Beauxbatons. I might come to Britain to find a job in the future. I quite like it here, and I've always wanted to improve my English..."
"If possible, I suggest you stay away from Britain for a few years... Come back after some time has passed", Ivan sighed.
"Why? Just because of that Dark Lord?" Fleur raised an eyebrow, speaking with arrogance. "Perhaps many people in Britain fear him, but we don't see it that way!"
Having grown up in France, Fleur had heard of Voldemort's reputation and understood that he was a powerful and cruel wizard, but that was the extent of her knowledge. She even thought that avoiding him would be enough.
"Put away your arrogance, Miss Delacour. You should seriously consider Ivan's advice, lest you lose your life needlessly!" Hermione spoke sharply.
Fleur pursed her lips but did not argue with Hermione. Maxime was already calling her from behind.
After a brief farewell to Ivan and the others, Fleur hurried over and joined the Beauxbatons students, walking into the carriage with them.
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, the twelve winged silver-maned horses let out a collective neigh. They flapped their wings vigorously, pulling the ornate carriage towards the horizon.
The giant magic ship docked at the Black Lake slowly raised its sails. The Durmstrang students, looking grim, stood on the deck, barely managing to say a few words of farewell.
Their headmaster, Karkaroff, had fled the night Voldemort returned, and no one knew where he had gone. There were even rumors that he had left the country and was planning to seek refuge in America.
This left the Durmstrang students in an awkward position. In the days leading up to their departure, they could hardly hold their heads high in front of the Hogwarts and Beauxbatons young wizards.
The only silver lining was that the magic ship did not require the headmaster's presence to set sail; it was operated by specialized wizards...
With the departure time approaching, Ivan and the others did not delay. They boarded a carriage pulled by Thestrals, bumping along the way to the station, and then climbed aboard the Hogwarts Express, leaving the castle behind.
As the train's wheels clattered, Ivan gazed out the window at the distant towers of the castle. He hoped that when he returned to Hogwarts next term, he would not hear of Dumbledore's death...
【Ding, the school year has ended. Would you like to review your year-end summary?】
The system's prompt sounded in his mind. Ivan composed himself and quietly agreed, and a translucent panel appeared before his eyes.
【Your performance this school year is as follows...
Class Evaluation: Perfect
Reward: 200 House Points
Final Exam Results: Transfiguration (Outstanding), Potions (Outstanding), History of Magic (Outstanding)
Reward: 900 House Points
Honors: Triwizard Tournament Champion (600 House Points), Gryffindor House Cup (100 House Points), Quidditch Cup (Not Held).
Total Reward: 1800 House Points】
Ivan glanced over the summary. Due to winning the Triwizard Tournament, the House Points reward was more substantial than any previous year.
However, as his strength grew, House Points became less significant, gradually becoming a means to enhance his knowledge...
