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.

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.

"It should be here..." Hermione also seemed unsure. At the same time, she took out the letter sent by Ivan from her jacket pocket and read it carefully to make sure she didn’t go wrong.

Although they were reconfirmed by their daughter, the Grangers were still a little skeptical, because the manor in front of them looked like a hereditary aristocratic mansion, and the two giant statues of knights in front of the door were holding spears and crossing each other He stopped in front of the door with a fierce look.

"I’m going to ring the doorbell." As the father and the only male present, Will Granger adjusted his clothes, plucked up the courage to step forward and rang the doorbell.

The next moment, a slight trembling sound came from the top of the head, accompanied by the exclamation of his wife, Will Granger turned his head and glanced strangely, and then found the two knight statues in front of the door in astonishment. It moved like a living thing.

Will Granger was taken aback by the sudden resurrection of the statue. Fortunately, these big guys didn’t mean to attack him. Instead, they slowly retracted the spear that was in front of the door and closed it tightly. The door was opened.

Then, in less than a second, a young boy appeared in the open space in front of him.

"Ivan!" Seeing the visitor, Hermione was very pleased to take a few steps forward and hugged Ivan tightly, until she realized that her parents were watching, she blushed and broke free. Come.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Hermione." Ivan said with a smile, and then looked back at the Grangers. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, welcome to the Hals manor!"

"Oh, hello, Hals." Will Granger hadn’t been able to relieve himself from the shock brought by the living statue for a while, but he politely reached out and shook Ivan’s hand.

Strictly speaking, it was not the first time they met. In the past, during Hogwarts holidays, he often saw Ivan at Kingdom Cross Station. The two even chatted briefly once, so they didn’t get to know each other again. It takes too much time.

After a few simple conversations with the future "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law", Ivan snapped his fingers and floated their luggage to the rear, and invited several people into the manor to enjoy today’s dinner.

Along the way, Will Granger paid attention to the beautiful scenery in the manor, especially looking at the fountain pool and garden a few more times, and finally couldn’t help but ask. "Are you a noble wizard? Hals?"

"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 amazementIt 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...
