From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 89 Good News and Bad News

Ivy: "Professor Dumbledore, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Dumbledore: "Ivy? Where is your voice coming from? Oh, thank you, but I'm not..." (Talking to you)
There seemed to be someone else on Dumbledore's side. Ivy raised his eyebrows and continued with his spell.

Ivy: "The bad news is, your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is dead! It was me!"

Dumbledore: "What? You said Quirrell was dead? What on earth is going on? People call me a lunatic..." (But I'm not what you call a psychopath!)

Ivy: "The good news is that he is Voldemort who covets the Philosopher's Stone!"

Dumbledore: "Really? Thank you for saving the students and teachers of Hogwarts once again, but I think..." (It shouldn't be that easy for Voldemort to really die, right?)

The spell Ivy used to communicate with Dumbledore was a 3rd-level spell, the short message, which could send a short message of up to 25 words to a creature known to the caster. And if the recipient of the message knew the caster, he could immediately reply in the same form, and the reply message could not exceed 25 words.

Moreover, this spell has beyond-visual-range effects. As long as the two are in the same plane, the information can be delivered instantly without loss. Even if the two exist in different planes, there is only a 5% chance of losing information with short message spells.

The only drawback is that each spell cast consumes a 3rd level spell slot, so you can't really interact with it as easily as texting.

Ivy's Scribe Wizard level reached 9th level, which provided him with 3 3rd-level spell slots. 16 intelligence points means 3 attribute adjustment values, which gave him one 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-level spell slot each. Then Ivy's 10th-level Ancient Magic Wizard profession's characteristic Ancient Magic brought him a maximum spell slot gain, 6 more spell slots for 3th and below, two for 7th, one for 8th, and none for 9th. However, since Ivy's wizard profession level was not enough to support him learning spells above 6th level, he still could not use the 6th-level necromancy spell Soul Prison.

Therefore, Ivy has 3 third-level spell slots, which means 7 fireballs or 7 rounds of beyond-visual-range conversations. Ivy had used up 7 of them before, including the one borrowed by Howling Flame to cast Fireball, the third-level trick Repair to repair Howling Flame's ceramic shell, and the Radiant Fireball that Ivy used to disperse Voldemort's black smoke.

In addition, he had three rounds of short message conversations with Dumbledore, so he now has one last 3rd-level spell slot left.

Ivy: "My spell can only deliver messages of no more than 25 words. Tell me your location!"

Dumbledore: "Oh, I'm at the intersection of Yorkshire High Street and Church Street, in a sweet shop. So this is..." (Is this why I always feel like I can't finish my words? Okay, it's over again.)
Ivy didn't expect that Dumbledore, the old bee, would actually go buy candy again, and it wasn't the familiar Honeydukes shop in Hogsmeade, but a Muggle candy shop in Yorkshire!

Now that he knew the location, Ivy prepared to escape from the school.

Wizards have few means of fast travel, Floo powder is the most commonly used one, and obviously Muggle candy stores are not connected to the Floo powder network. Then there are portkeys and Apparition. Ivy has only studied at Hogwarts for more than a year. Although his combat power is off the charts, he can only be said to be enough for practical spells in daily life. Therefore, he certainly can't make portkeys, and he is not old enough to use Apparition legally in the fifth grade, although Ivy is now 144 years old.

The last option is, of course, the flying broom!
This civilian single-person aircraft that is popular in the wizarding world is not slow at all. The Firebolt, which will be launched next year, will be able to accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, which is equivalent to more than 240 kilometers per hour. And this is just the starting acceleration. Its cruising speed can even reach more than 300 kilometers per hour.

At present, the Firebolt has not yet been officially released. The fastest flying broom in the world is the Nimbus 2001 in Ivy's hand. Its cruising speed is over 250 kilometers per hour. If it is combined with Ivy's aerodynamic spell that can reduce wind resistance, its speed will surpass the Firebolt that has not yet been released.

Although the pneumatic spell cannot be perfectly integrated with the Nimbus 2001, it should be fine if it only flies for an hour, right? Besides, Ivy still has the Feather Fall spell, so he won't die from the fall anyway.

As for the DND mages' means of long-distance travel, there are 3rd-level flying and phantom horse, 5th-level teleportation array, 7th-level teleportation and 9th-level gate.

The speed of the 3rd level spells was too slow. By the time they really arrived in Yorkshire, it would probably be too late. Ivy didn't know any spells above the 5th level. Only the teleportation spell was reliable. Not only was the distance far enough, but it also required few resources to cast. However, it had a fatal problem, which was that the destination of the teleportation must be a permanent teleportation array whose rune sequence was known by the caster.

I'm afraid there is only one DND mage, Ivy, in the HP magic world, so even if he really learned this spell, he has no destination to go to.

So after comprehensive consideration, Ivy had no choice but to ride on the Nimbus 2001 for a spontaneous trip!
If you go to school and don't skip classes, wouldn't it feel like something is missing?
So more than an hour later, after crossing several urban areas, mountains, plains and two straits, Ivy finally arrived at the place described by Dumbledore.

It was an old-looking building, only two stories high, made entirely of huge square stone bricks. The window and door frames were made of wood, and they looked shabby due to years of disrepair.

Compared to modern buildings, the door frame of the candy store is much shorter. Dumbledore is standing in front of the door, and his pointed wizard hat is much higher than the door frame. If he wants to enter, he will probably have to lower his head.

In addition to Dumbledore, there were several Muggles gathered at the door of the shop. A middle-aged, bald man in a shirt was discussing his experience of tasting candies with Dumbledore, and two young men in police uniforms were trying to persuade Dumbledore to follow them. It seemed that the situation had been at a stalemate for a while.

"Oh! Ivy!" Dumbledore, who was a head taller than the crowd, saw Ivy at a glance. At this time, Ivy had changed his Slytherin relic robe into a decent windbreaker, and looked no different from any other passerby.

As soon as Dumbledore spoke, the people around him quickly turned their eyes and looked at Ivy.
