Chapter 42 Howler Letters and Special Christmas Gifts

Ten of the gold galleons were given by Harry. Ivan was puzzled at first, but then after thinking about it, he realized that Harry had always remembered that he was short of money.

Since it was a gift, Ivan finally accepted it as insurance.

Among the remaining gifts, the notebook was signed by Hermione, and contained all the notes Hermione had taken in class since the beginning of the school year. It was as thick as a book.

Ivan smiled and this girl actually thought of going with him.

The two round unknown objects were sent by the Weasley brothers. There was no explanation, but Ivan looked like the big dung eggs used as pranks in the original novel.

Ron gave a bag of cheap candies. Ivan tried to see how it was different from other cheap candies, but to no avail.

"I didn't know you would give me such an interesting thing. I thought it was also a bag of candies." Ron, who was flying the new wizard flag with Harry, noticed Ivan's movements, and his face with some freckles suddenly flushed. He blushed and stammered a little.

"It's nothing. It's nice to give candies. It's enough for me to eat for several days." Ivan quickly waved his hand and said that he didn't care. They were just other high-quality gifts, which made him think that Ron's gifts were also included. What a difference.

"And the candies you gave Ron are quite delicious." Harry opened the same type of candy Ron gave him from the table, took out one and threw it in his mouth. His expression changed slightly when he bit it, but he still He smiled happily.

With the comfort of the two of them, Ron finally calmed down from the embarrassing situation.

There was no other way. Mrs. Weasley only gave him two silver coins as pocket money before going to school. No matter how much he saved, he had already spent almost all of it.

After Ivan finished comforting Ron's fragile heart, he focused on the last gift. The most important thing is that this is a Christmas gift from his mother Asia.

It was a crescent-shaped pendant with a shimmering light, and there was an envelope attached to the bottom of the pendant. The style looked different from the others, and it moved around on its own initiative. Ivan had already realized that something was wrong.

This is a howler letter!

Sure enough, the next second, the letter flew into the air and shouted loudly.

"Ivan Hals!"

"Who allowed you to sign the application for staying in school without your consent? There was not even a letter asking for it before Christmas! I waited for you at the station for five hours! If I hadn't given you that The damn principal sent you a letter, I almost thought you had disappeared or died in Hogwarts."

The sharp high-pitched sound kept echoing in the small dormitory. Even if Ivan covered his ears, it would not have much effect, because these sounds seemed to have magic power and could not be blocked at all.

The screaming lasted for half an hour, and Ivan was scolded bloody throughout the letter before it stopped. In the end, he did not forget to warn Ivan that the crescent-shaped pendant on the table must be worn at all times without her. Never take it off without permission.

Harry and Ron were also frightened by the roaring letter. Until the screams disappeared, Ron rubbed his ears and almost thought he was deaf.

"Ivan, who sent you this roaring letter? This voice is really loud, almost as loud as my mother's." Ron asked.

"Of course it's my mother." Ivan sighed helplessly. He said that he always felt that he had forgotten something before. It turned out that he forgot to send a letter to his mother Asia, whom he had never met before, on Christmas.

But this can't be blamed on him. After all, it's too late to avoid Ivan in his heart, so how can he take the initiative to contact me.

"Your mother isn't very nice to you? Like my uncle's family?" Harry said with some sympathy. In his opinion, staying in school on Halloween, apart from the temporary absence of family members like Ron, could only be for someone like him. This is a situation.

"It's just a small contradiction, not that exaggerated." Ivan shook his head, he didn't even fully understand it himself.

In fact, after learning Occlumency, Ivan was able to sort out the remaining memories in his brain on his own. Although it was incomplete, he also extracted a lot of valuable information.

For example, his home is in a black magic shop in Knockturn Alley. The shop owner is his mother Asia Hals. She can survive with a child in the chaotic Knockturn Alley and live well. There is no doubt about Siya's ability.

In addition to her strong black magic skills, Asia can also make a variety of powerful or weird black magic props.

Yes, it is a black magic item rather than a normal magic item.

In the words of Asia Hals, it is in Knockturn Alley that normal things cannot be sold. Only those things that are fatal and a little cursed can make a living.

Ivan also understood how the magic items he brought with him at the beginning were made, and he could learn a lot of relevant knowledge just by hearing and seeing them.

As for his father, Asia has never mentioned it even once in Ivan's memory. Even if he was annoyed by him asking, he only said that it was the reckless guy who made him stupid to death.

The memories of his mother Asia's friends and other people were not so clear in Ivan's mind.

The only thing that makes Ivan feel lucky is that in his memory, Asia's hands and wrists are as white as clouds, and there are no so-called black magic marks, which means they are not from Voldemort's side.

But even so, the identity of the dark wizard still cannot be washed away.

Ivan looked at the crescent-shaped pendant on the table with some anxiety, wondering if there might be some black magic in it, giving him a long-distance punishment or something.

After all, they are also relatives, so they shouldn’t be so scary, right?

Ivan swallowed, and finally guessed it was tracking or a locator that could determine his location.

Ivan guessed this, then touched it with his hand and looked at the magic item slot of the system. This item slot has been used by Ivan as an appraiser since he knew how to use it.

[Magic Item: Crescent Moon Pendant

Magic: strong

Description: This is a magic item made with a lot of precious metals. It can withstand a fatal attack for the wearer and will be automatically destroyed when the magic power is exhausted.

Ivan stood there numbly for a long time, and finally sighed and hung the crescent-shaped pendant around his neck.

For some reason, he hoped that there was some dark magic in it.
