Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

This little guy is really lucky. I don't know when he sneaked out. He was not burned to death by the fierce fire, but one of his front legs was slightly injured. He doesn't have his usual energy now, and he lies listlessly in Ivan's arms.

"That's great, Tommy, you're okay! Sorry, I didn't have time to call you at that time." Newt was happy but also a little apologetic. When they left just now, they didn't bother to call him.

"It's okay. I understand. After all, that old man is so powerful." Ivan returned the black Niffler to Newt.

Ivan took off his coat and put it on Nagini who was crying silently.

"Don't cry. It's not like you won't see him again. He's just looking for answers about his life." Ivan chuckled and comforted the crying Nagini.

Nagini raised her head and looked at the young man's gentle smiling face, and her originally silent crying turned into crying loudly.

This made Alvin cry!

o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Oh no! Big sister, why are you crying even harder? I'm here to comfort you!

Ivan was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to coax a woman. He could coax a child, but this was completely different! And he could only make people cry, not coax them!

"Sister Tina, come and help me!" Ivan raised his hand and sucked Tina over with magic, and pushed her directly in front of the crying Nagini. It would be better to teach this job to someone with experience.

Tina has been dependent on Queenie since childhood, so she should be very experienced in coaxing her younger sister.

After a brief moment of confusion, Tina comforted the sad Nagini. However, Ivan didn't know what was wrong with what he had just said.

Nagini was crying not for anything else, she was worried about her body. She could already feel that she didn't have much time left. She would soon be swallowed by the blood curse and finally turned into an inhuman beast.

This time may be one year, or maybe two years, but it will definitely not exceed three years, even if she no longer frequently casts the blood curse to transform into a snake to speed up the progress.

She was so scared, so scared that she wouldn't be able to see Credence again before she lost consciousness! Although they didn't spend much time together, due to the same fate, she had already regarded Credence as the most important person in her life.

If Credence's obsession is his life experience, then Nagini's obsession is Credence.

Ivan didn't know what to say, he could only watch Tina comfort Nagini quietly, until... he saw the old figure that looked like a ghost.

If nothing unexpected happened, the terrifyingly powerful magic just now was emitted by this old man. There was no doubt about his old face!

(?へ?)?

Ivan moved closer, trying to get closer to her.

Paris! Old man! An old man with super magic! This must be the old man!

……

The Newt brothers were very sad about Rita's death, but unlike Nagini, the two brothers who survived the disaster also repaired the crack.

There has always been a gap between the brothers, either because of Rita or because of their positions.

However, Newt felt a small pendant in Sniff's pocket. It was a silver ornament in the shape of an hourglass, with a bright scarlet spot in the middle of the crystal.

It seems that the Niffler was attracted by this thing, but Newt, who knew some of Dumbledore and Grindelwald's past, seemed to have guessed what it was.

"You guys go ahead and help me take care of Nagini for a while. I have something to do here and may not be able to take care of her."

Before leaving, Ivan did not stay with Newt and the others, but stood next to Nicolas Flamel.

"Is it serious? I wanted to take you to Hogwarts and introduce you to Dumbledore." Newt said regretfully while carrying the box.

"No, it's very important! This is related to Nagini's physical condition. Once I finish my work, Nagini won't have to worry about being eroded by the blood curse in a short period of time.

Also, I have trypophobia and don’t want to meet Dumbledore for the time being.”

"Huh???" Newt and Theseus looked at each other, and so did the others, not understanding what Ivan meant by his last sentence.

Ivan has trypophobia and is afraid of Old Deng who has a lot of eyes!

Although Old Deng is not as old as he used to be, he is over 50 years old, so to a young guy like him, he is still Old Deng!

Nagini stood beside Tina and looked at Ivan with gratitude.

After she calmed down, she expressed her concerns, so she was very grateful and touched to Tommy, a boy who was so nice to her even though she had only known him for a short time. He really took good care of her and Credence.

Obviously, there is no relationship between them.

Even if Tommy failed in the end, she would not complain. She didn't even know how to thank Tommy for his help, so what right did she have to complain?

"Goodbye everyone!"

Ivan said goodbye and watched the few people disappear in the portkey.

"Mr. Flamel, can I get something your wife like as a gift for your visit?" Ivan looked at the old man next to him.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you can come as a guest." Nicolas Flamel said with a smile looking at Ivan.

"How can I do that? That's so rude. It's my first visit and I have to..."

Before Ivan could finish his words, Nicolas Flamel grabbed Ivan's shoulders and disappeared.

Chapter 442: Traveling with the Alchemist Master

Nurmengard Castle - Dawn

Credence looked at the mountains in the distance with mixed feelings, and didn't notice that there were two figures watching him at the door of his room.

"Is he still afraid of me?" Grindelwald asked Queenie.

"I think you have to be careful. He is not sure if he has made the right decision. You have to be very gentle with him."

Queenie read Credence's heart and provided Grindelwald with a way to get along with him. After learning about her talent, Queenie immediately gained Grindelwald's attention and successfully became one of Grindelwald's assistants.

After listening to this, Grindelwald stepped into the room and walked to Credence's side.

"I have a gift, child." Grindelwald stretched out his hand and handed over a wand.

"Is this true?" Credence took the wand and looked at it. It was not as good-looking as the one Ivan gave him.

"You have endured the most heinous betrayal, betrayed by those you love and trust, by your own family, who are rejoicing over your suffering."

Grindelwald placed his hands on Credence's shoulders and gently guided the young man's emotions.

Credence began to breathe heavily after hearing this. The answer he wanted to know was right in front of him!

His young bird was squatting on the railing eating herb seeds. When it saw Grindelwald reaching out to it, driven by its curiosity, it walked cautiously onto Grindelwald's palm.

Grindelwald ignited a ball of fire in his palm, wrapped it around the chick, and threw it into the air, where it immediately caught fire.

"Your family has a legend that a phoenix will appear to anyone in dire need."

The baby bird finally revealed its true face, began to stretch its wings, and turned into a big bird. The big bird was burning, and a phoenix was reborn.

Grindelwald looked at Credence and slowly told him the answer that Credence wanted to know most!

"This is your birthright, my child, and your true name is, Aurelius, Aurelius Dumbledore! Together, we will create a new world!"

Credence turned, his Obscurus powers reaching breaking point as his emotions fueled him, and he didn't have to hide it.

He pointed his wand at the window, and a spell of incredible power shattered the glass and blew open the mountains opposite.

Credence stood there, looking through the shattered glass at the consequences of his magic.

"Not as good as the one Tommy made for me," Credence muttered to himself.

……

"Hello, ma'am. I'm sorry I came in such a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts."

Also a thin, pale-skinned old lady, Nicolas Flamel’s wife, Perenelle Flamel.

Ivan immediately switched to good boy mode. Even though these two old men were as fragile as egg rolls, even if old Dumbledore came decades later with the Elder Wand, they would have to kneel down.

Hundreds of years of accumulation, that's no joke.

After introducing himself, Ivan stayed at Nicolas Flamel's house. Although the old couple originally didn't care about worldly affairs, Ivan insisted on staying there under the pretext of seeking advice.

When trying to get close to Nicolas Flamel in the cemetery yesterday, Alvin successfully established a connection with Nicolas Flamel using the knowledge he had written about him.

Being able to discuss with a real teacher is much better than just reading a book!

"Tommy, what do you think alchemy is?"

When he was alone with Nicolas Flamel, they exchanged a lot of knowledge about alchemy, but this sentence left Ivan stumped.

He had never really thought about what alchemy was. Until now, he had no clear goal in his understanding of alchemy.

He simply used magic to give ordinary non-magical things special abilities so that he could use them more conveniently. Apart from that, he did not do any more in-depth research on alchemy.

"Use magic to make ordinary things special!"

Hearing what Ivan said, Nicolas Flamel neither confirmed nor denied it. He just nodded and looked at Ivan calmly.

"You could say that alchemy is both simple and complex, and strictly speaking there is no answer, just like... this."

Nicolas Flamel took five minutes to walk ten meters and took out a scroll in his alchemical kingdom.

"Huh~ Come and take a look, but to be honest, there aren't many old people my age who can walk so fast!"

Ivan quickly stood up, took the scroll, and tried to help but was rejected.

Nicolas Flamel said that the young man's attack was too ruthless and his old bones could not bear it.

The scroll unfolded, and an ancient Ouroboros rune appeared before Ivan.

"This is Ouroboros." Alvin recognized this one; he had seen it in a book.

"Yes, the Ouroboros was long ago said to symbolize "infinity" or "everything." In ancient times, the Ouroboros had the meaning of "self-destruction" and "transformation into a cyclical pattern." This was a clear message to many keen alchemists.

They believe that the Ouroboros is a dramatic symbol that can both integrate and assimilate opposites; and the reward obtained through this process of self-integration and assimilation is eternal life.

Because the Ouroboros is destroying itself, but at the same time it is giving itself life, it is nurturing itself, thus giving itself life. "

Nicolas Flamel narrated the origin of Ouroboros, and Ivan listened quietly.

Alvin didn't quite understand why the old man told him this.

"You have a high level of attainment in alchemy. Although you are very young, your level is already so high that I have nothing left to teach you. You just need to hone yourself and everything will come naturally. It's just that you don't seem to realize that you have reached a bottleneck."

Bottleneck period? Ivan was a little surprised. He really hadn't realized this, and he didn't feel anything at all.

"It seems that you really don't know. Perhaps, this is why you can't make your tie have real vitality without the support of the Transfiguration Charm."

Nicolas Flamel smiled and pointed to the tie around Irving's neck.

The alchemical giant saw the alchemical product on Ivan's body and the secret behind it.

"Is that so?" Alvin took off his tie and put it in his hand.
