Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Wizards are a very closed and conceited group. For a long time in the past, wizards have walked the world as "gods".Even if the wizard group is closed for various reasons, this sense of superiority is still clearly reflected.

For example, the name Muggle actually has some derogatory meaning in it.

And this sense of superiority is even more vividly displayed in the Muggle Studies class.

Perhaps in the world of ordinary people, almost everyone has imagined what it would be like if they could do magic. This makes wizards born from ordinary families unconsciously assimilate after entering Hogwarts, even if they are Muggles. The arguments taught in this course were all ridiculous in Ike's opinion, but this did not prevent some young wizards from ordinary people from listening with interest and nodding from time to time.

However, there are some merits.At least in Ike's view, the most important thing about Muggle Studies is actually how wizards and ordinary people view the same thing, and the methods they use to deal with the same thing.

It is undeniable that many things are indeed more convenient to deal with using magic.

But as the saying goes: magic only blooms in a few.

After all, this is not universal, and perhaps it is one of the reasons why wizards have closed themselves off now.

After the Muggle Studies class, Ike ran directly to the corridor on the left side of the fourth floor.Instead of going there carelessly, he cast a disguise spell on himself and hid in the back of the corridor.

As soon as he hid, he saw his other self hurriedly walked in, opened the wooden door and walked in.

The next second, an inexplicable feeling of fatigue surged up, and within a moment, the fatigue doubled.

"Sure enough, three quarters are better than one..."

Ike sighed with emotion, took a deep breath for a while, and then walked to the dormitory.

The accumulation of exhaustion confirmed one of Ike's points: the time turner does not open up a new timeline, but folds and layers the same timeline.

To put it simply, every time you use the time converter, a node will be left on the timeline, and it is a point where files will be automatically read.In other words, at the same node, two things, "leaving" and "returning" will happen at the same time.In the entire timeline, there is one and only one Ike jumping left and right.

It was like listening to the chorus of a song three times. The song was still the same, but from Ike's perspective, what he heard was a song with two additional choruses.

Ike's own time has been repeated twice, and can continue to be repeated.

Whenever he chooses to use the Time-Turner again.

"It's worth studying..." Touching the time turner in his clothes, Ike felt that he was full of energy and was already burning.

Since "parallel time and space" does not exist, Ike decided to increase his efforts.Just halfway through, he turned back to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor and used the time turner again to go back to two hours ago, when the morning spells class had just ended.

It took about 10 minutes to get from the Room of Requirement, which is the time it takes for the little wizards to walk from the classroom to the auditorium.Then he opened the door and left, went directly to the library, found a corner and started writing today's homework.

As he expected, when the time came to around 1:50, Ike felt tired again.

This time it was a bit unbearable.With full success, Ike has studied continuously for more than 250 minutes, which is more than 4 hours.

Normally, it's already time for dinner.

Fortunately, he was already prepared.

Returning to the dormitory, he took out the pile of cockroaches he had collected last night and ate a few to satisfy his hunger. Then he went to his usual seat in the common room, holding a book and reading quietly.

In the evening, Ike rarely went to the restricted book area.Firstly, it was against school rules on the first night of class, which was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it; secondly, he was just too sleepy.

Studying makes people happy, but "staying up late" can make people tired.

It can also make people bald.

The next day, Friday, Ike's classes were even more packed.

In the morning, there was a session of Herbology and Transfiguration in all four houses, and in the afternoon there was a session of Arithmetic Divination, followed immediately by Defense Against the Dark Arts.

There is nothing to say about herbal medicine. Professor Sprout led everyone to plant a very ferocious magical plant called "Balgan Sweet Bean".When the balgan sweet beans pass their infancy, if they are not divided into pots and pots, they will fight with each other, and the winner will eat the loser until there is only one left in the pot.

During this process, even if you are wearing dragon skin gloves, you will still be at risk of being bitten and suffering fractures. These cruel magical plants will take off your gloves.Therefore, when the Balgan sweet beans are in their infancy, when they have just sprouted, they are potted.

This time will probably be next week.

In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall was still strict. First, she randomly checked what was taught last year and the year before. After scolding a few young wizards who returned the knowledge to her, she started a new class.

The difficulty has naturally increased a lot.

In the past, such as turning matches into needles, turning beetles into buttons, etc., they were just changes in form and nature. This year, changes in size and quality have been added.

One person was given a button and turned them into a palm-sized mouse...

Without exception, even Ike overturned in this class.Until the end of get out of class, Ike could only turn the button into a mouse, but it was still as light as a button.

Arithmancy in the afternoon is arguably the least magical course at Hogwarts.This divination method, which originated from ancient Greece, only requires a piece of paper, a pen and the ability to spell, add and subtract. It is very scientific and materialistic.

Different from divination classes, arithmetic divination requires memorizing a large amount of words, which are the meanings and symbols of each number under different divination problems.You must know that arithmetic divination has a history of more than 2000 years. There are countless divination problems that have appeared during such a long time, and for each problem, the symbols of each of the nine numbers 1-9 must be recorded.

Just looking at the required reading list for third grade given by Victor, the professor of arithmetic and divination, Ike felt a little bald on the top of his head.

But happily, arithmetic divination is not very difficult.Following Professor Victor's rhythm, Ike just tried it a little bit, and the words "Arithmetic Divination LV1 has been acquired" appeared on the waste notebook system.

It’s a typical example of easy to get started but difficult to master.

After finishing the arithmetic divination class, Ike went straight to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor.

At this time, the classroom was full of people, but no one seemed to be looking forward to what Professor Luping would teach everyone.

The miserable experiences in the previous two years made almost everyone not have much hope for this. After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts was famous throughout Europe for being unreliable.

Ignoring Stewart and others on the side, they speculated on how Lupine would make a fool of himself in front of everyone. Ike was wondering whether he would face the Boggart in this class as he remembered.

And what is the thing that I fear most?
