Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"...So this is how you arranged it?"

After listening to Ike's time plan, Hermione was a little surprised and a little frustrated at the same time.

The little witch had never surrendered to anyone at Hogwarts, but in this regard, she once again lost to Ike.

"No wonder, it seems I have to make my own plan." Hermione made up her mind. Now that she knew Ike's secret, she had to catch up.

She didn't want to lose to Ike again in the final exam.

"By the way, there is a place I want to show you. It can be said to be one of the most secret places in Hogwarts."

"Where?"

"Just follow me. There's still some time before curfew, and we happen to be on the eighth floor. There's still enough time."

The two of them went up to the eighth floor one after another, and finally stopped in front of the door of the Room of Requirement.

"Just think about where you want to be, then walk back and forth in front of this wall three times, and then..."

As he spoke, he walked back and forth three times in the same manner, and a door with silver patterns slowly appeared on the wall.Ike looked back at the dumbfounded Hermione and smiled subconsciously.

Pushing open the door and entering, it was the room that "only Ike Strider and those he approved could enter."There are sofas, tables, coffee tables, fireplaces, and a small single bed in the corner, which is still the same as when Ike left it.

The crucible on the table was steaming, and there were some metal blocks scattered beside it, a few carving knives lying in random directions, and a stack of thick parchment paper with words written on it.There were several books placed on the coffee table and sofa. They were so thick that they could crush someone to death.

Hermione walked over and picked up one, but the book suddenly came to life, let out a piercing scream, opened suddenly, exposed its sharp teeth and bit Hermione's nose.

Ike quickly waved his hand and threw out a red light that fell on it. Only then did the book quiet down, and the title on the cover was also revealed.

""Deprive Your Soul"? This is from the restricted area..." Hermione was startled. Even though she always knew that Ike was very courageous, she never expected that he would take out the books from the restricted area and put them away. At this point, it’s not just a book!

Even she only takes one book at a time.

Moreover, these are the most dangerous and evil books in the restricted area, the dark arts of dark arts.

"Don't make a fuss." Ike sat down on the chair next to him, snapped his fingers and double lemon tea appeared on the table, "As long as you don't get caught, it's not a violation of school rules. Have you forgotten?"

"But...but these are...dark magic!"

"The most evil black magic!"

"Didn't you see?" Ike took a sip of lemon tea without raising his head, but Hermione was silent.

Yes, she watched it too.

In fact, basically everyone who can sneak into the forbidden book area without being discovered has read more or less basic black magic books, and there are also a lot of people who have studied them.

"You should have read "Hogwarts: A History of the School". You still remember that it was mentioned in it that Hogwarts actually taught dark magic at the beginning, but it was only canceled later."

"I have always believed that as long as a person's self-control is strong enough, the side effects of black magic can be completely ignored."

"Learn more and you'll never go wrong."

Hermione said nothing, as she was smart enough to know that what Ike said was not unreasonable.Just like Dumbledore, recognized as the most powerful white wizard, but no one would believe him if he said he didn't know black magic.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Ike changed the topic, "How about this Room of Requirement? Is it suitable?"

"Indeed." Hermione nodded subconsciously.

"That's fine, as long as we split time."

"Split... time?"

"That's right!" Ike said, "When there is someone in the Room of Requirement, it cannot be opened from the outside. So the two of us must separate our time."

"Don't you want to?"

Seeing the smile on Ike's face gradually change, Hermione understood what he was laughing at.Smashing the book in her hand, the little witch stood up and walked out.

"The afternoon is mine!"

Taking the book with a smile, Ike couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound coming from outside the door.

He knew very well that telling Hermione the secret of the Room of Requirement was basically telling Harry and Ron, but that wasn't a problem.While the Room of Requirement is arguably the most magical room in Hogwarts Castle, it's no secret.

The secret is only known to you, and according to Ike's guess, there are no fewer than 20 people who know the Room of Requirement.

What kind of secret is this?

Telling Hermione was something that Ike had already planned, not to mention that Ike had never shared the real secret with anyone.

For example, the magic texts and magic circles on the Philosopher's Stone, as well as Ravenclaw's manuscripts...

After one night, it's Halloween.

The castle is also decorated with all kinds of decorations like last year, creating as scary an atmosphere as possible.Stuart woke Terry and Ike up early in the morning, using gadgets he bought at Zuko's Joke Shop.

The Facehugger Bat is a small bat-like doll, but as soon as it is thrown out, it will turn into a real bat and hug the person's face directly, while making a piercing scream that makes people dizzy.

No one noticed that Stuart bought this thing yesterday, and no one was prepared. Terry was immediately stunned and sat on the bed for a long time without regaining consciousness.But in Ike's case, he was defeated.As soon as the face-hugging bat made a sound, it was shattered into pieces by Ike's crushing spell.

"Ike!" Stewart felt a pain in his body. The price of this thing was still a bit expensive. He originally wanted to wait and scare Moratti and the others, but he thought it was gone.

After rubbing his head, Ike yawned and then said, "What's wrong?"

Stewart: "..."

Forget it, it's not worth getting angry with Ike on such a great day.

Ike knew what was going on, and casually cast a recovery spell to push the face-hugging bat back. Stuart was so frightened that he crouched down with his head in his hands, but he just felt like he was hit by something.

"Don't expect that the Restoration Spell can completely restore this thing. It's pretty good to be able to turn it into this." Ike said, "But when I'm fine, I can study it for you. I should be able to make it the same as before. "

"Okay, then give it to me when you've finished it." Stewart threw back the bat doll that lost its magic. Since Ike said so, he must be able to do it.

At this point, Stewart still believes it.

After struggling for a while, Terry still looked numb.But it's easy to solve. After a healing spell, he's alive and kicking, and he can still chase Stewart.

After a while of fussing, the three of them went to wash up.By the time I changed my clothes and went out, breakfast had already started for a while.

Omelette, bread, milk are still normal, no different from usual.If you really want some surprises, you have to wait until night.

Everyone has already heard that in addition to the skeleton dance troupe that is almost certain to appear, the ghosts have also prepared a wonderful show, which is said to be very grand.Dinner also changed. At the strong request of an unknown white-bearded wizard, the house elves changed the recipes that had not changed for thousands of years and played with creative cuisine.

Even Ike is looking forward to this. Maybe there will be food that can surpass the pile of cockroaches.
