Magical Studies at Hogwarts

You have to pay as much as you get. This is the most ideal state.

More often than not, what you need to pay is several times what you get.

To be honest, the value of "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" is not too high, and there are many similar books in the restricted book area.But the concept of Dumbledore taking the initiative is different.

Ike knows very well that he has been a part of this layout master's plan since the first grade. What happened in the past two years has made his chess piece heavier, and now he can be called a relatively powerful chess piece. It's crucial.

This is something that Ike knows very well, and it is also something that he doesn't care about.

When you come to this world, you have to choose one side between Dumbledore and Comrade Lao Fu. If you follow Lao Fu, there is really no future, so you can only choose Dumbledore.

Don't rush to study the magic inside, just put it in your schedule.

The next day, something happened in the school that made almost all the little wizards feel depressed: the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was changed.

Since Professor Lupine is a little ill, Professor Snape will temporarily take over the class.

To be honest, Defense Against the Dark Arts is more than enough at Snape's level. This is also his dream position. He has applied every year since returning to Hogwarts, but he was rejected by Dumbledore every year. .

But it's still fun to be able to teach as a substitute teacher occasionally. After all, being a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a job more dangerous than that of the Dark Lord.

Snape made no secret of his dislike of Lupin, just as he made no secret of his elation and excitement at the moment.

A day to celebrate: the filthy, smelly werewolf endures the post-transformation period of weakness.

perfect!

"Open your textbooks, today we are going to learn how to identify a werewolf..."

Snape lectured enthusiastically on the stage in his same tone that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Ike pretended to be a good boy and listened carefully, but in his heart he was thinking about when he would have the opportunity to get a Lupine. Please research the wolfsbane potion.

The wolfsbane potion invented by Damcos Marcus is a very difficult potion that only a few potion masters in the entire magic world can brew.Although the original intention of the Wolfsbane Potion was to ease the pain of werewolves during their transformation and keep them sane, the expensive materials and the cumbersome and complicated brewing process have discouraged the group of werewolves at the bottom of the magic world.

It can be said that if he had not accepted the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Lupine would not have been able to drink the Wolfsbane potion.

Even if it was "improved" by Snape.

What Ike admired most was Snape's ability to "improve" the potion formula.Even adding one new item to a mature potion formula may cause the potion to become ineffective. However, Snape was able to add a variety of potion ingredients to make it difficult to swallow without making the potion ineffective. and produce expected side effects.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being a master of potions...

After leaving ten feet of homework about werewolves, Snape announced the end of get out of class with satisfaction.

As usual, Ike took the lead and studied multiple threads at his own pace. After all, he took a short break yesterday, which was enough.

After a busy period of work until half an hour before curfew, Ike arrived at the Hogwarts kitchen on time.This is a new habit he has developed in the past half month.

Multi-line learning will not only bring mental fatigue, but also physical consumption.Although Ike would appear in the auditorium on time for a delicious meal at around six o'clock, he was often already hungry by eight o'clock.If I don't eat more, I won't be able to hold on.

Skillfully asking Omi to give him some food, Ike sat at the almost exclusive table in the kitchen and started a new round of battle.

A spoonful of mashed potatoes, a chicken drumstick, a baked rice, plus a glass of milk and a strawberry pudding, especially the strawberry pudding, is a dessert that you can never get tired of eating. It is perfect to have one after a meal.

"Ike Strider, if I remember correctly."

Ike, who was happily eating pudding with his eyes slightly closed, suddenly heard someone talking next to him. He followed the sound and immediately showed a smiling face.

"I know you, Cedric Diggory, we have met several times." Ike put down the pudding and stretched out his hand to shake Cedric's hand, "Hufflepuff?"

"This is the first time we've spoken."

"Yes, Hufflepuff." Cedric smiled as bright as the sun, which made people feel kind inexplicably.

This is a man who, upon first sight, one feels that he is a man worthy of close friendship, upright and selfless, and more importantly, he is recognized as the darling of the Hogwarts school.

Well, if you really want to choose one.

"It's presumptuous to say that. I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You know, the kitchen is very close to the Hufflepuff lounge." Cedric was obviously nervous. "I found that you always come here at this time to eat more. Something, and the dinner party has just ended..."

"I'm sorry, I know we just met and it feels bad to say this, but..."

After hesitating for a long time, Cedric finally turned to the topic: "Okay, I'll be honest, I think you should give up on the courses that are basically not that important. It's very dangerous if you continue like this."

"What?" Ike looked at Cedric in surprise.

"I mean, it's completely unnecessary to get a few more O's in the OWLs exam." Cedric seemed to be relieved suddenly, "I also got this gadget when I was in third grade, too. As hard as you study, in fact I did what you are doing now, adding extra meals every night."

"But it won't make you feel better, it will only make you more and more stressed." Cedric said, "I persisted for more than half a year, and my spirit almost collapsed, and I almost gave up Quidditch."

"Of course, if you think you can, you can completely ignore everything I just said." Seeing the increasing doubts in Ike's eyes, Cedric said quickly, "This is just a well-intentioned advice, nothing else. mean."

"I know." Ike waved his hand, "You don't mean anything else."

"After all, if you really had ulterior motives, you wouldn't be the 'most trustworthy person in Hogwarts'."

After saying that, Ike blinked.

"Hahaha..." Cedric smiled and denied repeatedly, "Don't say that, I'm not the one."

"I'm just passing on the words of other seniors. That's how they enlightened me back then."

"You also know that after using this thing, it is difficult for others to know your location accurately in time. If you didn't always come to the kitchen at this time, I wouldn't have found the chance."

"Of course, I still hope you can succeed..."

“It feels great to get all twelve OWLs certificates!”
