Magical Studies at Hogwarts

It was already night when we came out of the Room of Requirement.

Ike had been busy all day and was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.He put the shrunken box into his pocket and headed straight to the auditorium.

Entering the auditorium, dinner has just begun.

Professor Flitwick saw Ike coming in and waved to him to sit down quickly.Ike bowed his head slightly in return, found an empty seat on the long table and sat down, and took a big sip of pumpkin juice, which relieved him a little.

The dinner during the Christmas vacation only maintains the usual standard, but because there are not many people staying in school, everyone sits very casually, and they do not sit according to the college like during normal school days.

Ike saw Padma sitting on the Gryffindor table, next to her sister Parvati.Qiu and several Ravenclaw girls sat with Hufflepuff, and several members of the Quidditch team also sat there, chatting while eating.

There are really not many people left on the Ravenclaw table.

After drinking another glass of pumpkin juice, consuming a steak, an omelette, two German bratwursts and half a plate of macaroni, Ike's stomach finally protested.

Pour another glass of lemonade and sip it in small sips.Ike felt that he needed to slow down before he could move. He really couldn't stand up now.

While he was drinking, a brown-haired dumpling sat in front of Ike with a glass of orange juice. Also placed on the table at the same time was a thin book.

Take a look, it's the latest issue of "Transfiguration Today".

"Ike, where have you been today? I've been looking for you all day." Hermione asked.

"He's in the dormitory." Ike calmly replied before replying, "What's wrong? What do you want from me?"

Hermione seemed a little embarrassed, and paused before asking softly: "Ike, is your pet...Xiao Hei still there?"

Ike showed a hint of annoyance when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Xiao Hei is missing. I don't know when he ran away. I have been looking for him for a long time but I still can't find him."

"Have you seen it?"

"I should have... seen..." Hermione showed a hint of hesitation, turned her head and glanced at the professor's chair, but did not find Snape's figure, and then continued, "Before, I secretly went to Snape's private room. stock room……"

"Oh!" Ike suddenly realized, "The attack last time was..."

"Yes!" Hermione quickly interrupted Ike, "Don't interrupt, listen to me..."

"For some reasons, I needed some potion ingredients, and those were only available in Snape's private collection. So, while Harry... I sneaked in."

“After finding what I was looking for, and just as I was leaving, I suddenly heard a noise that startled me!”

"I subconsciously looked over and saw a snake slipping out of the door..."

"Ike, I'm not sure if that's Xiao Hei, but as far as I know, in the entire Hogwarts, you are the only one who keeps a snake..."

Ike felt relieved, but his face showed anxiety.

"That should be it! Did you see it again after that?"

Hermione shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen him since."

"Ike..." The little witch leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Hei, is it really not you who let it go?"

"No." Ike also lowered his voice, "Before that, Xiao Hei had already been lost, and Jimmy was still sad for a while."

"Feel sorry……"

Seeing that Ike was a little sad, Hermione apologized softly: "If I see it again, I will catch Xiao Hei and give it to you."

"Thank you, Hermione." Ike replied, "If you see it again..."

Hermione was about to say something when she suddenly heard someone calling her from the Gryffindor table behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Harry and Ron.

"Okay Hermione, I think you have to go back. Ron's expression is not very good." Ike pointed at the dark-faced Ron behind Hermione, "I still want to thank you again for bringing me this news. "

The little witch waved her hand, picked up "Today's Transfiguration" and her cup on the table, and stood up directly.

"Then I'm leaving. Goodbye Ike."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ike left angrily without waiting for a reply.

Smiling as he watched Hermione and Ron bickering there, with Harry caught in a dilemma, Ike drank all the lemonade in the glass, stood up and left the auditorium.

"Comrade Xiaofu, what are you looking for in Snape's private collection?"

Sitting in his usual place in the library, Ike casually picked up a book and opened it, but his mind was not focused on it at all.

It was certain that Comrade Xiao Fu was possessed by Xiao Hei, but what was uncertain was what he was planning.

Backed by Hogwarts, he is also a famous potion master in the wizarding world today. Even if he has never been there, Ike knows that Snape's collection must be unimaginably rich, and some of them may even be banned from trading by the Ministry of Magic.

Such as fire dragons, such as unicorns...

"Could it be that he went there in the blood of a unicorn?"

Ike's knowledge of black magic is limited to well-known magic such as the Unforgivable Curse and the Fire Curse, plus some curses and evil rituals at most.But black magic is so vast, there is no evil magic or ritual that can help Comrade Xiaofu get out of his current situation.

And Snape's private collection had exactly what he needed.

After thinking about it, I only thought of this possibility.

The blood of unicorns can keep people alive. In Comrade Xiao Fu's current state, he definitely cannot hunt in the Forbidden Forest like Comrade Lao Fu did last year, but Ike is not sure whether the blood of dead unicorns has the same effect. .

If so, then it can be determined that Comrade Xiaofu must be running for the unicorn's blood. He wants to increase his power to continue his plan.

But if not, then things are in trouble!

What was certain at present was that he and Harry were definitely on Comrade Xiaofu's final revenge list, and he was even ranked higher.Therefore, once Comrade Xiaofu regains his strength, he will definitely face a far more dangerous situation than he has throughout the year.

"Will the attacks continue?"

Ike was not sure. Comrade Xiaofu would probably do this, causing panic in the school and even closing the school.Of course, these are not incidental, the key is to drive Dumbledore out of school.

As long as Dumbledore leaves school, his chance will come!

Suddenly, Ike thought of the magic that Comrade Xiao Fu cast on Ginny in the original book, the magic that would most likely allow him to truly resurrect himself by absorbing the life force of others!

"Yes, yes, he will definitely find someone else! It may be someone else, or it may be..."

"Ginny!"

Ike hurriedly stuffed the books back into the bookshelf, quickly left the library and headed straight for Gryffindor Tower.

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned around to walk towards the Ravenclaw lounge.

"No hurry, no hurry..."

Ike walked slowly, returned to the dormitory, took out the box he had kept in his pocket, and then lay down directly on the bed.

"Comrade Xiaofu definitely needs time, and I also need time..."

"With Hermione watching, it will definitely be discovered once it appears next to Ginny..."

"The top priority is to find out why it went to Snape's private collection!"

"Perhaps, we should go find Snape tomorrow..."

Snape's cold face appeared in his mind, and Ike shuddered unconsciously.

Sighing, he put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pointed them at his head.

"Passed out!"
