Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Ivey pinched Betty quietly to signal her to be friendly. Betty glanced at him and ignored him.
"Is Ivy your child?" Hagrid asked, looking at Harry and the others.
"Well, next to Ivy is my niece, the children of the Ethel family. They are all 11 years old this year." Irene said a few words briefly, then looked at Harry and sighed, "I didn't expect that in the end, it was you who brought him here.
Hagrid, you were the one who carried him out in the first place."
"Yes, but I didn't expect that he would suffer so much at the time. He has lived a very bad life in these years. The Dursleys only regarded him as a servant, and he suffered a lot of suffering and grievances at the Dursleys. I
"I heard what he said, if Ivey hadn't been with him in school and was willing to contact him, I don't know how lonely he would have become." As he spoke, Hagrid wiped a few tears and talked about this sturdy man.
Surprisingly kind.
"Sorry, Hagrid, this is their family matter, and we can't interfere at will. Besides, we're afraid of disturbing Dumbledore's arrangements."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, I have been wondering whether Dumbledore was right in placing Harry with the Dursleys." Hagrid was a little angry.
"Hagrid, Dumbledore is a trustworthy person"
"Of course! I'm just whining"...
"Harry, you're a little late." Ivy took the initiative to help Harry resolve the embarrassment.
"Don't mention it! In order to prevent me from seeing the admission notice, Uncle Vernon and his family ran away to some unknown corner. Hagrid and I set off early in the morning and have only arrived now. Have you all finished shopping?"
Thinking of this, Harry became very angry.
"I finished shopping early. Look at the time. It's already noon. We are ready to go back."
"Damn it!" Harry cursed.
He is indeed much more cheerful, and Ivy sees Harry's performance. Although Harry in the original book is young, he is mentally mature. After all, he lives in a very bad environment. He is also used to burying many emotions deep in his heart.
Don't show it. If you do this for a long time, you will inevitably have psychological problems. Now I know that venting your emotions is a good start.
"Harry, since we have met, why don't you come to my house for a meal together at noon?" Ivy invited.
"Won't it cause trouble?" Harry thought for a long time and looked at Betty again.
"Mom, can Harry have dinner with us at noon?" Regarding Harry's concerns, Ivy asked Erin directly.
"No problem! I'll make a feast"
"Look" Ivy winked.
"That would be troublesome"
"Hagrid, come too."
"I won't bother you. Dumbledore is still waiting for my return. I will take him to buy school supplies. After dinner, I will trouble you to send him back."
"Don't worry, Hagrid"
"Harry's leaving." Hagrid greeted Harry and entered the bar first.
"I'll go in first, see you later" Harry hurriedly followed.
"We won't accompany you in. We'll see you later!"
"Can't you be kinder?" Irene took Betty and sat in the car. Irene said that she didn't want to disturb the young couple's love story, and ran to drink coffee again.
"I'm not good to you?"
"I'm not talking about me. Of course you are very nice to me. I'm talking about other friends. They are also your friends."
"Am I very polite?"
"It's not a matter of etiquette, it's a matter of emotion. Be gentle!"
"I have feelings for you too"
"Uh - it's not that kind of emotion. It's..."
Ivey was a little crazy, but he also caught the cunning look in Betty's eyes, and knew that he was deliberately trying to anger him.
He stretched out his hand and ruffled Betty's hair. Betty was very characterful, and Ivy liked her very much. He was afraid that Betty would be sad if she was hated by others.
But Ivey thinks a little too much. Miss Betty is just a little colder and a little arrogant. This is the standard for a noble lady. And no matter how unhappy she is, she will never lose the proper etiquette.
"I want to eat ice cream"
Betty slapped Ivy's hand away and stared at the dessert shop next to her. Betty often tried to find ways to get Ivy to do something for her, and she would be happy when she could see Ivy busy for her. This is a small selfishness of a precocious girl.
"I'm going home soon to cook and eat! Wait--" Ivey looked at her angrily, opened the door and got out of the car.
"I'll go with you." Betty followed and took two steps after him to hold his hand.
In the nearby coffee shop, Irene was sitting by the window. This nosy woman was peeping at the two children, with an aunty smile on her face like a hen guarding her calf.
After eating the ice cream, Irene came back.
"Counting the time, it's time to come out."
The words have not yet fallen
"Ivy!" Harry ran out of the bar
"Irene, I'll leave Harry to you, I'll go back first," said Hagrid, who was following behind.
"Peace of mind~"
"Goodbye Harry, Ivy, Betty"
"Goodbye, Hagrid" x3
"Okay, let's go home and have dinner."
Erin started the car and drove back
——————
In the evening, Harry and Ivy stood in the backyard and gestured to a tree stump. They were the only ones at home now, while Erin and Betty went shopping.
"Ivey, show me your performance." Harry had just admired the samples of Ivey's practice. He was very curious about the various musical instruments and furniture.
"Then I'll show you." Ivy rolled up his sleeves, spread out his left hand, magic power surged out to wrap around the tree stump, and then slowly raised his index and middle fingers, causing the tree stump to slowly float upward.
“Wow~ It’s amazing”
"Harry! You can't interrupt my spellcasting"
"sorry"
With Ivey's control, the tree stump slowly floated above his palm. He opened his fingers, and as the five fingers began to swing regularly, the tree stump gradually began to dissolve. After a while, it turned into a ball of mud.
Ivey wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was not easy. The tree stump was close to 20 kilograms, almost the weight of a bucket of pure water in the previous life. Dissolving and reshaping it was a laborious task.
After taking a breath, Ivey retracted his four fingers, leaving only his index finger to point a single ball of clay, and softly breathed a spell.
"animalmagus"
I saw several cracks on the mud ball, and white light shot out from it. Then the mud ball began to rotate, and was gradually surrounded by white light, forming a cocoon of light. After a while, the light dissipated, and a classical castle appeared in front of me.
"This is our primary school!" Harry was very surprised when he looked at the castle.
"Well, I'm so energetic." Ivey's hair was slightly wet with sweat.
"Ivy, can you teach me!" Harry looked at him expectantly
"Harry, you need a wand to cast a spell, and underage wizards can't cast spells outside of school. Didn't Hagrid tell you?" Ivy said helplessly.
"Oh - I forgot, Hagrid told me." Harry was a little annoyed, but then he remembered something and asked, "Ivy, you seem to be able to cast spells at will. I remember the same thing last time I went camping."
"I didn't cast spells last time we were camping. That was our family's ability, not through magic. For me, the wand is just a control function," Ivey explained.
"Is your family so capable?" Harry was envious. Hagrid said he was great and excellent, and the people in the Leaky Cauldron also said the same thing. But he didn't see anything different about him, let alone someone as powerful as Ivy.
talent.
"Harry, don't envy me. Our abilities are indeed very convenient for fighting, but the shortcomings are also obvious. I can't cast complex spells. Even easier spells have to rely on the power of the wand, and also
Spend more time practicing.”
"Didn't you just cast the transformation spell without a wand?"
"That's not a transformation spell. It's a simplified version created by my mother to help me strengthen my control. It just changes the shape, similar to sculpture. The real transformation spell can turn a person into a fish, a table, or even
Dead things turning into living things, these will all fall into the category of transformation spells. Harry, you will have the opportunity to master these in the future, I may not be able to use them in this life." In order to prevent the savior from getting discouraged, Ivey persuaded him earnestly.
