Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"No one knows where he is, he hid himself." Sirius said, "He doesn't want to attract other people's attention. It's obvious that he is planning something..."

"Plan what?"

"Many, such as retrieving his former subordinates, the Death Eaters, the wizards who once followed him, and those messy monsters, monsters, werewolves and so on." Mr. Weasley explained, "It's not difficult to guess, obviously he won't Just take those Death Eaters and fight against the Ministry of Magic."

"We are trying our best to prevent him from gaining more followers, but to be honest, the effect is not very good."

"The Ministry of Magic has been hiding the news of his resurrection and doing everything possible to discredit Dumbledore." Bill said, "We have to admit that the Ministry of Magic has done a good job at this point. Because most people don't want to believe that. People are back and they are running away."

"But that's the truth!" Harry said excitedly.

"The truth is cruel, Harry." Lupine said calmly, "And it's not that we have gained nothing at all. People like Tonks chose to believe in us, and Kingsley."

"What about Ike?" Harry asked again.

"Ike, it's that..." Sirius was stunned for a moment and glanced at Hermione sitting on the other side of the long table. Others also looked over subconsciously.

"No one knows where he is, but I think he should be with the mysterious man." Hermione shook her head and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. He chose to become a Death Eater."

"And I think that in this situation, we should really pay attention to Ike. After all, with his strength, no one else except Dumbledore may be his opponent." Hermione turned to look at Harry , said, "He defeated you easily in the cemetery, right Harry."

"That's right." Harry nodded, "I personally heard him calling Voldemort teacher. Voldemort's attitude towards him is completely different from that towards the Death Eaters."

"It is indeed a trouble." Sirius said, "But now we have nothing to do. The top priority is to make the public believe in the fact that Voldemort is back as much as possible, and prevent him from recalling his former troops."

"As for the rest, to be honest there is nothing we can do now..."

"If it's Ike, I know something." Mundungus, who had been half-lying on the chair, suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have dealt with him a few times."

"When did you see Ike?" Hermione asked.

"It was a long time ago. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have even forgotten it." Mundungus sat up a little straighter, "It seems like the year before last, I had sex with him twice at the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. Business……"

"The Hog's Head Bar? I remember you were banned there," Mr. Weasley said.

Mundungus heard this and replied: "Yes, but that actually has nothing to do with me, it's someone else..."

"Ike, Mundungus." Sirius knocked on the table and said, "Don't change the subject, no one wants to hear your stories."

"Okay, Ike." Mundungus shrank his shoulders subconsciously, "He came to me twice to sell magic potions, a large number of healing potions, polyjuice potions, and Bafe's Brain Refreshing Potion. The quality was very good. good."

"You know, there's no way I'm going to miss it. Potions of that quality are easy to sell, and you can make a lot of money by changing hands..."

"Mundungus!"

"Okay, okay..." Mundungus continued, "I mean, the quality of the potion he brewed is very good and unique. Although I have only come into contact with it twice, I firmly believe that if it appears on the market, If I know the potion he brewed, I will definitely be able to recognize it."

"Did you find the potion he brewed?"

"No."

"Then what's the use of this!" Sirius shouted, "And do you think he will still sell potions now? He has no shortage of Galleons to follow Voldemort!"

"Okay, Sirius." Lupine stopped Sirius, "It's a clue after all. We all know that he must be with the mysterious man. Maybe in the future we will find Ike through the clues Mundungus mentioned. , and then find the mysterious person."

"Let's talk, let's talk..."

Sirius obviously didn't care much about this so-called "clue" and went on to tell Harry something.But not long after, Mrs. Weasley came back, forcefully ended the "inquiry session" and pushed Harry and the others back to bed.

Hermione followed Harry and the others upstairs and back to their room.In the room, Ginny was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. When she saw Hermione coming back, she directly asked: "What did you say?"

She had no intention of hiding anything from Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley actually knew it well. Hermione directly repeated what she had just said to Ginny, then lay down on the bed and covered herself with a cup. .

Ginny could tell that Hermione was in a bad mood, so she didn't ask any more questions. She turned over, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

On the other side, Hermione didn't fall asleep so quickly. Hidden under the quilt, her fingers tapped rhythmically on the pendant of her necklace.

"Da, da da, da..."

After a long time, the clouds and mist on the pendant suddenly changed, sometimes dispersing and sometimes gathering, again very rhythmically.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Hermione's lips, and she tapped her fingers gently again.

I don't know how long it took, but the clouds on the pendant didn't change. Hermione waited for a while before finally giving up.She exposed her head from the quilt and breathed heavily. She was really suffocated just now.But compared to the new news she learned, it was nothing after just holding it in for a while.

"Harry is here."

"Take care of him and don't let him do stupid things."

"How are you lately and what are you busy with? There has been no news for a while."

"I'm busy brewing the potion, and I can't be distracted."

"You really went to brew the magic potion!"

"what?"

"Mundungus said today that he had done business with you at the Hog's Head Bar, and he thought he could use this clue to find you and that person."

"Then he will be disappointed. It is impossible for this batch of potions to appear on the market. By the way, how are you learning the Disguise Curse?"

"A little bit."

"You can take a look at the notes I left for you. It's on the third row of the bookshelf. It contains some of my experiences on the use of the Disguise Curse, which should be helpful to you."

"I will go and see it, but not now. I have to wait until I get back to school."

"Don't be too anxious. Okay, I'm leaving. V is looking for me."

"Then be careful."

He kicked his hand into his pocket and felt the beating sensation from the ring, but there was no expression on Ike's face.

After glancing at Wormtail outside the door, he waved his other hand gently and extinguished the fire under the cauldron.

"Come on, Wormtail."
