Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Ike didn't take Ron's attitude to heart at all.

He knew very well that this was a man who desperately wanted attention.As the least noticed child of the Weasley family, Ron has always longed for recognition from others.But it's a pity that even at Hogwarts, people regard him as their savior's friend.

Not Ron Weasley.

To say such words in the classroom is to declare one's presence.

Ike understood, but chose to ignore it.

In the days that followed, Ike continued to focus on studying snake language and ancient magic texts.For now, that's the most important thing.

Based on my previous experience in reading fan fiction, there may be Slytherin's treasure hidden behind the statue of Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets. It is said that Voldemort, who was still in school at the time, grew up to become the powerful Dark Lord in the wizarding world because he obtained the treasure. .

Of course, Ike doesn’t know if this is true or a fan fiction, but he cannot rule out the possibility of the treasure’s existence.

Assuming that Slytherin's treasures really exist, Comrade Lao Fu is unlikely to move them all away, there will always be something left behind.

Those are Ike's goals.

Ravenclaw's manuscript opened a new door for Ike, allowing him to understand magic and magic from another angle. Ike was very covetous of the legacy that the Big Four might leave behind.

Of course, the first condition is to have sufficient self-protection ability, at least to learn snake language.

Maybe he could trick the basilisk away?

I can't tell, I can't tell...

One day at the end of November, there was finally a change in Ike’s long-unresponsive waste notepad system, and there was an additional entry:

Snake language (silk...silk...silk...) (cannot be upgraded)

Skinning Curse Level 1 has been learned!

Looking at the series of Level 6 spells and the extra snake language and skinning spells in the system, Ike felt that he was well prepared!

On November 11st, the last Saturday night before Thanksgiving, after Stuart and Terry fell asleep, Ike put the Disillusionment Charm and the classic combination of Silence on himself, and quietly came to the girls' bathroom on the third floor. .

As soon as I came in, Ike smelled a strange smell, which was very much like boiled cabbage.

He subconsciously glanced at the closed compartment door, ignored it, and went directly to the side of the pool.

After a little inspection, Ike discovered the faucet with a small snake engraved on it.

Taking out his wand, Ike looked at the motionless compartment again, and said to the faucet in snake language: "Open it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and then began to spin rapidly.The pool also split in the middle and slowly receded to the side, revealing a very thick water pipe.

"Who's there!"

A female voice came from the cubicle, and Ike quickly jumped into the water pipe, not forgetting to say "close" in snake language.

When Myrtle appeared, all she could see was an intact pool and excess water on the ground.

"It's so strange, I obviously heard it..."

Myrtle muttered, then floated back, glanced at one of the stalls, snorted, and dove into the toilet.

Ike on the other side slid down the pipe. Although it didn't take him a while, he could no longer tell which pipe he came from.

There are twists and turns down here in all directions, the slope is very steep, and the speed is very fast. I slide and turn into other pipes, and I can only feel that I have been going down.

After a while, Ike felt that the slope was gradually slowing down, and he quickly cast a shock-absorbing spell on himself.A few seconds later, Ike rushed out of the pipe, quickly cast a levitating spell, and flew far away before landing on the ground.

"Clean up!"

Although he didn't fly close to the ground, after sliding in the pipe for so long, his clothes were already stained with dirt and smelled bad.After the cleaning spell went off, the clothes were clean, but the unpleasant smell was still there.

Ike stretched out his left hand, and a soft white light ball appeared, slowly floating in the air.

He leveled the wand with his right hand and whispered softly: "Show me the way!"

The cedar wand stopped in the air. After turning a few times, the tip of the wand pointed straight forward.

Walking slowly in the direction pointed by the wand, Ike held the speculum in his hand and became more vigilant.

"Click, click"

Gradually, the bones of some small animals appeared under Ike's feet. He didn't know how long they had been here. They were very brittle and would break immediately if he stepped on them.

After walking for a while, the outline of a coiled huge creature appeared in front of me.

Without any hurry, Ike lightly tapped his ear with his right index finger. After listening for a while and hearing no other sound, he walked to the side of the huge creature.

I stretched out my hand and knocked, and it made an "empty, empty" sound, which was very hard.With a light wave of his right hand, a cutting spell passed and a small piece of snake shed off.

Picking it up and putting it in his pocket, Ike continued to walk forward.

After turning countless corners, Ike finally saw a wall carved with two entwined snakes.

"Open!"

After putting away the lighting spell, as the snakes whispered, the eyes of the two snakes lit up, and then slowly separated, the stone wall also cracked from the middle and slowly slid to both sides.

The secret room was a little dark, but not so dark that you couldn't see clearly what was around you.

The first thing that comes into view is a straight corridor with many stone pillars standing neatly on both sides, with big snakes entwined on them. The positions of the eyes are occupied by green gems, just like the two snakes on the stone wall.

The space is very large. Looking up, you can only vaguely see the ceiling. I don't know what is inlaid on it, but there is a faint light.

Moving forward along the corridor, Ike finally came to a tall statue.

It was an old wizard with a monkey-like face and a long, sparse beard carved on his chin, extending to the hem of the wizard's robe carved in stone.

"Salazar Slytherin..."

Ike murmured, his heart suddenly firm.

Walking under the statue, Ike narrowed his eyes, held the wand tightly in his right hand, and said loudly in snake language:

"Talk to me! Slytherin! The greatest of the Hogwarts Four!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the statue's mouth moved, opening wider and wider under Ike's gaze, until a huge black hole was revealed.

Immediately, Ike heard a harsh sound like nails scratching a blackboard, as if something was coming out of it.

"Kill... kill..."

Ike quickly stepped back, tapped his nose and ears twice quickly with his right hand holding the wand, closed his eyes tightly, and said loudly in snake language: "Stop! Close your eyes!"

After saying it three times in a row, the harsh voice stopped.Listening carefully, the basilisk didn't seem to move.

"Go and eat! Go find the rats! Rats!"

Ike made a series of sounds like silk, silk, ha, ha, and then smelled a fishy stench.

"Rat...eating...rat..."

The harsh sound sounded again, and Ike clearly felt that a huge thing was sliding around him.When the sound gradually disappeared, he opened his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, a Parselmouth can control a basilisk!

Ike was not sure when the basilisk would come back, so he quickly cast a levitating spell on himself, and his body slowly floated into the black hole of the statue.

Rubbing another ball of light with his left hand, Ike endured the stench and walked inside.

The place that could be used as the basilisk's lair was certainly not small, and it took me a while to walk to the innermost part.

Looking at the stone wall in front of him that was almost identical to the entrance to the secret room, Ike was overjoyed.

Slytherin's treasure does indeed exist!
