Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

As he spoke, Ivan turned his gaze towards Dumbledore.

"That's right, buddy, you can trust this kid, he won't let you down." Although Dumbledore was not in a good mood at the moment, he still gave Ivan this face.

"Um, should I come back later?" Harry, who had little presence, said weakly.

"It's okay. I've finished talking to the Minister. We need to go out for a while. Please wait here. I need to talk to you alone. And Alvin, do you mind coming with me to see the Minister off?"

Ivan nodded, and Fudge also stood up and left. The White Lord had ordered him to leave, so he had no reason to stay, especially with that annoying boy around.

After seeing Fudge off, Moody also said goodbye and returned to his office.

Ivan looked at Moody's back and thought to himself, "Teach him for a while longer, cherish it."

"What do you think?" Dumbledore suddenly asked as he watched Fudge's departing carriage.

"I'll stand and watch." Ivan said seriously.

Dumbledore turned his head expressionlessly to look at Ivan's arrogant face, and was speechless.

How could this kid still be in the mood for joking?

"Haha, no more jokes. I know why you called me here. All I can say is, be prepared and don't miss any place. The series of events this year are definitely related to that old monster. The Dark Mark is definitely not a prank!"

Dumbledore stared at the sky in a daze, and no one knew what the old man was thinking.

Long time~

"Ivan, can I ask you a favor?" Dumbledore asked with a hint of pleading.

Hearing this, Ivan's lips curled up into a wicked smile.

"Okay, but...how do you calculate the price?"

Chapter 345 Neville's Parents

"Neville, are you okay?"

After class, Harry came to ask out of concern. Neville was absent-minded throughout the entire Charms class, and he seemed to be shaking!

"I... I'm fine, nothing's wrong." Neville seemed to have returned to his first-year state, and that feeling of panic and inferiority came back.

"You can tell us what's wrong and we will help you. If it's troublesome, you can ask Alvin. He should have some ideas to help you."

"Thank you, he's the one who helped me. I'm just a little worried. Bye, I need to go out for a while."

Neville said a few perfunctorily and absentmindedly, then left quickly with the book in his arms, leaving Harry in a daze.

Neville couldn't tell what he was feeling.

This morning, Alvin suddenly found him and told him that he had found a way to help his parents recover. Although it was feasible in theory, the reality was uncertain, so he asked him if he was willing to try it.

It was this incident that made Neville absent-minded.

Deep down, he really wanted to see his parents return to normal instead of staying in that small infirmary at St. Mungo's.

But Alvin also said that it was only feasible in theory. What if something unexpected happened... Although he was willing to believe Alvin, he was not willing to take risks with his parents.

"Oh~ What should I do!" Neville felt like his brain was about to explode.

Fourth floor——

Alvin was cutting meat into cubes for the little snow leopard Cloud. Now that the little guy had just been weaned, he could try eating meat, just like Simba and the tiger when they were young. At this stage, Alvin would cut meat into cubes to feed them.

Once their appetites are whetted, there won't be so much trouble. Just throw a piece of meat to them to chew on. When they grow up a little, you can let Tiger or Simba take Yunduo to the Forbidden Forest to practice hunting.

To be honest, it was not easy for this pair of lion and tiger brothers. They grew up without the company of their mother and had to rely purely on their own biological instincts to master their hunting skills.

The atmosphere at Hogwarts had noticeably changed since old Barty's death, just as it had during the basilisk incident in second year.

Of course, it also has something to do with the roar that Ivan gave when Harry was chosen by the Goblet of Fire.

Recently, students have started to exchange secret codes. Students from each grade will ask each other about what happened a few years ago in order to screen whether there will be outsiders coming in undercover.

Nowadays, there is a sentry every three steps and a guard every five steps in Hogwarts. It is so tight that even if a fly flies in, you have to count its leg hairs to see if it is a fake fly!

This really confused the people from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. They had no idea what these guys from Hogwarts were up to!

If asked, everyone’s answer is that it is to prevent those who are interested from being distracted and making small movements, and this is for everyone’s safety!

This sense of vigilance ~ someone may not feel good about it.

Especially Harry, such an important person. Now even Moody can't get close to him casually. Those students who are prejudiced against Moody always look at him with suspicion, which makes his scalp numb!

"Ivan, I've made up my mind!" Neville said as he pushed the door open.

Ivan, who was feeding the snow leopard, slowly raised his head and waved to Neville...

————昘————

Weekend, in Hogsmeade, in the backyard room of the pet store.

"Evan, how did you do that? Oh my God, my grandma will go crazy!" Neville grabbed his hair, his face full of panic.

He could already imagine how horrified his bad-tempered grandmother would be when she received the notice from St. Mungo's Hospital.

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. St. Mungo's won't find out your parents are missing before tomorrow. Trust me." Ivan gave Neville a look that said, 'I'll do it, don't worry!'

Neville looked at his parents who were sleeping on the bed, and then looked at the group of black-robed wizards standing behind Ivan, and remained silent...

When those wizards in uniform saw Neville looking at them, their eyes seemed to be a little doubtful... Damn it, he actually questioned their professionalism!

They are quite professional at this kind of sneaky transfer!

"Okay, you guys go guard outside and don't let anyone disturb us." Alvin waved his hand and said.

The five wizards nodded and walked out without saying a word.

As a qualified subordinate, speaking less is the most basic quality!

Ivan closed the door, took out a bag of blue powder from his pocket and began to sprinkle it around the house until he formed a circle. He then took out a pufferfish and hung it on the chandelier above his head.

"Ivan, what are you doing?" Neville had a head full of question marks.

"Make a protective barrier to prevent interference from the outside world and prevent someone from accidentally disturbing me! Be more careful in everything, it will be good for everyone. And you, don't get in the way, go to the corner and draw circles and play by yourself."

"Oh~" Neville nodded honestly, and really walked to the corner and squatted down.

Without even looking at Neville, Ivan took out his wand and began to cast a spell. After the blue barrier lit up, Ivan looked at Neville's parents.

This excellent Auror couple became insane due to the torture of the Cruciatus Curse, and their faces were haggard and listless.

It can be seen that their spirits are in a state of torture all the time.

The physical injuries have disappeared, but the mental trauma is permanent! It has nothing to do with the memory of being tortured, it is simply a damaged soul, otherwise a forgetfulness spell can be done, and it would not be delayed until today and the couple cannot be cured.

Ivan took out a small white bottle made of white jade, which contained pure souls provided by the lovely Dementors.

Of course, the soul essence in this small bottle has been processed. In order to treat the Longbottoms, he deliberately added some tricks.

Ivan's pupils turned purple, his magic pupils opened, and the souls of the Longbottoms were clearly visible in Ivan's eyes.

In Ivan's eyes, the souls of the Longbottoms were no different from those of ordinary people, except that there were many cracks on their heads, just like porcelain that had fallen to the ground but did not break!

"Weaving souls and weaving spirits!"

After reciting the spell, Ivan used his wand to capture the essence of the soul. They would become like surgical sutures, stitching up the wounds in the Longbottom couple's souls.

A large part of this spell originated from the Black Air Spell, which was originally a trick of using black magic to torture people's souls. Its content was to use magic threads to penetrate people's souls back and forth, torturing people's souls madly, in order to achieve the purpose of interrogating people.

Before this, Ivan had been to St. Mungo's to promote the painkillers he made. He also saw the couple by the way, and that was when he discovered the problem.

We have been delayed for so long, firstly to process these soul essences, and secondly to create the spell!

It is not easy at all to transform an air spell that was originally used to torture people into a wizard spell that heals people.

Fortunately, he succeeded!

As time passed, the essence in the jade bottle was about to be consumed. Ivan's magic power had been exhausted three times and he had to rely on magic crystals to replenish it.

Finally, the last crack in the Longbottom couple's souls was repaired!

Taking back his magic, Alvin drank a bottle of potion to calm himself down, then waved to Neville.

There is only one last step left!

Neville walked to Irving nervously, but before he could speak, he fainted when he met Irving's purple eyes...

Chapter 346 Happy Neville

Control the soul and explore the heart, into a dream world~

The two soul-controlling and hallucinogenic pupil techniques were activated simultaneously! The souls of the Longbottom couple were restored, but their memories of these years were relatively chaotic. It can be said that most of them were useless!

Therefore, if they want to return to normal, they have to deal with this part of their memory, and this requires Neville!

The last normal memory of the couple was when they were being tortured, and most of the chaotic memories that followed were unnecessary. All that was needed was the love they showed when they saw Neville.

And this part is replaced by Neville's memories, those smiling eyes of Mr. Longbottom looking at Neville when Neville visited them!

The candies that Mrs. Longbottom gave to Neville out of motherly love, those candy wrappers that were carefully treasured by him even though his grandmother hated them.

These were the few bits of maternal and paternal love he had ever felt... These would be the key to filling the gaps in the Longbottoms' memories!

After sorting out all of this, the torture of the Cruciatus Curse will become a nightmare in the memories of the couple. When they wake up from the nightmare, they will be accompanied by their family...

"It's done, the last step!"

Alvin took out a kerosene lamp from the ring, but there was no wick or anything inside, but a moth and two fireflies!

"The demons and ghosts leave quickly~ The demons and ghosts leave quickly~"

A ball of green magic light flew out from the oil lamp, split into two and landed on the Longbottom couple. A ball of black light flew out from above their heads, forming a vague pattern like a ghost face in mid-air.

Ivan waved his wand and dispersed them. Those were the bad memories of the Longbottoms. Ivan rubbed and squeezed them together, trying to completely erase them.

"Okay, time to wake up!" Alvin raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

After the snap of his fingers, Neville rubbed his painful face and got up from the ground, looking at Ivan with a confused look on his face.

He just seemed to have had a very strange dream!

"Go check on your parents. They'll be awake soon, then you can explain to them. I need to rest for a while."
