Three days passed in a flash, and Ivan who lived in the new manor quickly realized the disadvantages of owning a big house, that is, this place is too big!
Among other things, it takes a full ten minutes to walk from where he stays to a special restaurant, and sometimes Ivan may even mistakenly think that he is actually in Hogwarts Castle.
Of course, a big place also has big advantages-this means that in addition to his usual residence, he can additionally transform a special library, training ground, potion room, and alchemy room.
Even considering the need to convene a meeting in an emergency, Ivan expanded the top of the castle into a spacious meeting room that can accommodate thousands of people.
Although these facilities are also available in the underground fortress in Knockdown Alley, who would like to stay in that black bunker if they can enjoy the sun and the garden?
However, such a huge transformation project could not be completed in one day or two days. Even if Pierce hired more than a dozen wizards who were proficient in engineering transformation, it would only take half of the time to complete in three days.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
In addition to the expansion of the project and the deployment of defensive magic, considering that Hermione’s parents are Muggles, Ivan also accidentally purchased some commonly used electrical appliances. Thanks to this is London, the houses are all connected to the power grid. He saved a lot of energy.
When everything was ready, Hermione’s arrival came later than Ivan had imagined. It was not until the morning of the third day after returning home that Ivan officially received a letter from the little witch that the Granger family will be here. Come to visit tomorrow evening.
...
"Are you sure it's here? Hermione? We shouldn't be in the wrong place?"
On the evening of July 4th, Will Granger, carrying a large suitcase, was standing in the hallway outside the manor and looking around. He tried to find a normal residence nearby, but he looked around. I can only see the grand manor in front of me.
"Of course not!" Ivan shook his head and replied very seriously. "Accurately speaking, there are no nobles in the British magical world today. There are only a few wizard families with a long heritage. The Hals family who I belong to is not a member of these pure blood families.
"Then why would you... live in this manor?" Will Granger was a little hard to understand.
Before coming, he had asked Hermione about Ivan's family background, and he was very clear that the other party was a child from a single-parent family, his father died prematurely, and his mother was the owner of a magic shop, so he should not be able to own such a large estate.
Hermione felt a little weird too, but she quickly realized something, guessing. "It must be related to the Sorcerer's Stone, right?!"
"En, yes, that's it." Ivan nodded against his will. He can't say that this manor doesn't need money at all, is it the Minister of Magic?
"What is the Philosopher's Stone?" Mrs. Granger asked in amazement It is the most amazing alchemy creation. According to legend, the Philosopher's Stone can transform ordinary stones into real gold, and can also make The potion of immortality..." Hermione talked about various legends about the Philosopher's Stone, and emphasized that Nico Leme, the maker of the Philosopher's Stone, was Ivan's teacher.
The Grangers looked at each other and couldn't help feeling a little unbelievable. It sounds like a mythical story to turn gold into gold and immortality. In their hearts, even magic is impossible to achieve, otherwise the financial system should have been messed up long ago. .
Even if there is such a magical magic, it is impossible for a minor wizard to master it.
"Ivan is the best student ever at Hogwarts. Even Principal Dumbledore and Secretary Pierce admire him a lot..." Hermione saw the doubts of her parents and hurried to help.
Will Granger smiled and didn't care. He had heard similar words from Hermione many times, and his ears were almost puffing up.
However, after following Ivan into the front hall, a huge, shining golden fireplace almost brightened his eyes...
