060-Rumors!!

After giving him a fair warning, Professor McGonagall continued to explain to Ivan to wait for his magic power to gradually increase with his age, and his Transfiguration spell would naturally progress until that happens, he could use the time to understand the differences in the structure of different objects. As the more someone understood the material upon which the transfiguration spell is used, the lower the difficulty of casting the spell and lower the consumption of magic power.

"Wingardium Leviosa~"

After the explanation, McGonagall waved her wand and moved Hagrid onto the stretcher with the levitation spell, she then used it to lift the stretcher and Hagrid together, moving behind her and Ivan as they made their way back to the castle. Along the way, Ivan took the opportunity to ask Professor McGonagall various tidbits about the Transfiguration spell and how to improve his casting speed.

Professor McGonagall explained various tips and skills while maintaining the Levitation Charm, as the two walked out of the forbidden forest, Ivan learned a lot of new skills, but the level of his Transfiguration Spell remained the same. He wondered if drinking the blood fusion potion could help him break through this bottleneck.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron had been waiting anxiously by Hagrid's hut near the entrance to the Forbidden Forest, they hurried to greet them but halted when they saw Ivan and Professor McGonagall coming out together, especially when they saw Hagrid lying on a stretcher beside them.

"Hagrid, are you okay?" Harry only greeted Professor McGonagall with a nod before he hurried to move in front of Hagrid.

"I'm okay... it's Cecilia... she..." After some rest, Hagrid's shock had calmed down, but when he tied to think about the unicorn, tears spring out of his eyes again.

Harry and the others were at a loss as to what was happening, so Ivan had no choice but to explain.

"Cecilia was a unicorn. She was hit by the killing curse in order to save Hagrid."

"The killing curse? That's an unforgivable spell, who would to dare use it?" Hermione was shocked.

Harry didn't know anything about it and Ron had only heard of the Imperius Curse, he didn't know anything about the Killing Curse, so Hermione immediately explained it to the two of them.

"I have read about it in a book, Avada Kedavra, a powerful killing curse that can instantly deprive the opponent of life, it is an extremely evil piece of magic. The Ministry of Magic has listed it as one of the three unforgivable spells, and all its users will be caught and thrown into Azkaban! because once someone is hit by this curse, he will die, and there is no way to stop it. "

"Oh, I guess... apart from Harry, he is the only person to have survived an Avada Kedavra that was used by the You-Know-Who himself that knight." Hermione suddenly realized she missed some information so she added that little titbit as an afterthought, as she was embarrassed about forgetting something so important.

Harry touched the tingling scar on his forehead. He didn't even know that he had been attacked by such a dangerous piece of magic. Before, everyone only mentioned that he defeated the Dark Lord and saved the magic world, but no one told him How?

"The people who attacked Hagrid won't care about those rules Hermoine. Don't expect the dark wizards to abide by the rules set by the Ministry..." Ivan felt that Hermione was a bit naive, so he reminded her.

"Okay, kids, let's talk later, we have more important things to do right now! Like hiding a massive dragon so that no one will find it, also send Hagrid to the school hospital..." Professor McGonagall interrupted their conversation.

"You could always hide Norbert in Hagrid's hut, as long as he is put down with enough stunning spells," Ivan suggested.

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and found it a feasible plan, so she asked Ivan to take Norbert into the hut, and then waved her wand to use the Stunning Charm.

"Stupefy~"

Professor McGonagall shot the spell, and Norbert was knocked out before he could react.

Considering that dragons were very resistant to magic, Professor McGonagall had to use the stunning spell a few more times.

In addition, she used Transfiguration to secure his limbs, wings, and mouth with iron restraints. In this way, even if he wakes up, he won't be able to make much trouble. Ivan looked at Norbert who was tied down into a small ball in front of him and remembered that Professor McGonagall was planning to use the Vanishing Curse to "handle" Norbert's affairs, he shivered... her methods were really cruel...

After trapping Norbert in the hut, everyone quickly returned to Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall asked Ivan and the others to gather in the main hall, then took Hagrid who was still lying on the stretcher to Madam Pomfrey

When Ivan stepped into the main hall, he found that the tables of the four houses were already full of students, just like during the welcoming feast when new students are sorted at the beginning of the term.

The difference was that the atmosphere was a little more serious, students were whispering in groups of two's and three's, no matter how much the prefects tried to maintain order reprimanded them, it was useless, and Ivan could faintly hear the murmurs about a dragon.

The arrival of Ivan and his party attracted the attention of everyone present.

Especially those third-year students who witnessed Hermione, Harry, and Ron pulling Professor McGonagall away. As soon as Ivan found a seat, George and Fred squeezed in next to him.

"Ivan, what happened in the Forbidden Forest? Someone said they saw a dragon spewing fire and dive into the Forbidden Forest. We also heard the roar of the dragon in the classroom. Is it true?" George asked excitedly.

Upon hearing him ask this, all students around them turned their eyes toward Ivan, expecting him to reveal some information to satisfy their curiosity. However, Ivan shook his head apologetically and said, "I don't know, the professors said they'll announce what happened later."

Ivan really didn't know what to say, because Prof. Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall would want to set an official story later to explain everything that doesn't break several laws set by the Ministry of Magic. What if it doesn't match with what he said?

George and Fred looked at each other and didn't ask again, because they knew Ivan would have told them if he could. Other people, on the other hand, didn't think so, they thought that Ivan, Harry, and the others must know what happened, but were deliberately concealing things from them so they immediately began to question them.

"Nothing happened there, no dragons, stop with your nonsense!" Hermione was annoyed by the questions and shouted in a dissatisfied manner.

Harry and Ron were also very uncomfortable when they were asked about it, even Ron, who had a big mouth and his attention-seeking nature, suppressed his excitement and didn't reveal a word, because Ivan had already told them before he came in that if they don't want Hagrid to be thrown into Azkaban, they better shut up!
