Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"It's so nostalgic..."

Ike squatted aside, watching Professor Snape busy dismembering the basilisk, and the Sorting Hat on his head suddenly let out a sigh of praise.

"What do you miss?" Ike looked a little bored and a little lost.

I originally wanted to secretly hide a basilisk fang, but under the watchful eyes of the four professors, there was no way I could do it.

With Snape's character, even a basilisk scale would not be left to Ike.

What's more, just after Professor McGonagall completed the feat of killing the snake, the Sword of Gryffindor disappeared.Ike also tried several times to pull out the sword from the Sorting Hat, but only received a lot of ridicule from the Sorting Hat.

"I miss the way little Minerva wielded the Sword of Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat moved, as if very excited, "God knows how long I have been waiting for this day! It has been so many years, and there is no one except Minerva. No one has ever drawn this sword."

"Really do not have?"

"No." The Sorting Hat sighed, "This is an enchanted sword. Only a true Gryffindor can pull out the Sword of Gryffindor when needed."

"It is clear that no young Gryffindor wizard since Minerva has possessed the spirit of Gryffindor."

Ike didn't have much reaction. He wanted to tell the chattering hat that if it weren't for him, a little wizard would have pulled out the Sword of Gryffindor this year, and there would be more in the future.

His current thoughts were on how to extract some basilisk parts from Snape's hand. At least one tooth was needed. It was very simple and quick to poke the Horcrux accurately.

"Ike..." Professor Flitwick came over, and Ike quickly stood up with the Sorting Hat on his head and returned the salute.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand, pulled Ike a little further away, and said, "Don't be too nervous, I just want to chat with you..."

"Speaking of which, you should have found that gift..."

"Yes, Professor." Ike replied softly, "I found it, but the things there are so profound that I can only understand a very small part of it."

"It's pretty good. At least I don't have your ability at your age." Professor Flitwick smiled and pushed up the glasses on his nose. "Ancient magic, the magic of the era of the Four Giants, and the magic we use now The magic is actually three different kinds of magic. You find it difficult, but you just haven’t found the right method..."

"How are your ancient magic texts? I often see you holding the "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Magic Texts" in your arms."

"It should be okay..." Ike replied with a trace of frustration.This is not something he is pretending to do. Until now, the skills of ancient magic texts have not been displayed on the Waste Notepad system. Obviously, according to the system's standards, Ike's understanding of ancient magic texts is not deep enough.

But according to the comparison between himself and senior students, there is actually not much difference, and it is even slightly better in application.

Otherwise, Ike would not be able to create the magic combination of the magic circle and the ancient magic text.

"I probably understand." Flitwick looked at Ike, thought for a moment and said, "Ike, you have to know that ancient magic script is actually a language, and the most important thing about learning a new language is... …”

"Speak more, write more? But professor, ancient magic texts can cause magical reactions."

"Indeed," Professor Flitwick said, "So I think the most important thing you should do now is not to continue learning new magic, but to try to forget magic."

"Forgot magic?" Ike was a little confused. He felt that Professor Flitwick was playing matryoshka dolls with him.

"That's right! I noticed that even in normal times, you are used to using magic to solve problems. This creates a problem. You can only let it go, but not take it away..."

"Frequent use of magic can indeed improve the wizard's control over magic and magic, but it can also cause dependence on magic..."

"Professor, I don't quite understand. Is this a bad thing?" Ike was completely confused and asked quickly.

"Of course it's not a bad thing." Flitwick scratched his head, organized his words a little, and then replied, "You can try to understand it this way..."

"A wizard is a container, and magic is the water inside. When we release magic, we open a small opening in the container so that the water inside can flow out. A magic is a small opening. The more magic you have, the more magic you have. There will be more openings.”

"Your current situation is that you can open that specific small opening without thinking, but you can't actively close it and let the water come out from the other opening."

Professor Flitwick stood a little further away and said to Ike: "You can give it a try and use the lighting spell now, but the spell I ask you to recite is the levitation spell."

"Are these two of your best spells?"

"Come on, try it!"

Ike held the wand and followed Flivy's request, shouting: "Wingardim Leviosa!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Flitwick stood up.

After casually dispelling this little magic, Professor Flitwick said with a smile: "You see the problem, Ike."

"Yes, Professor." Ike nodded slightly and frowned.

This result was beyond his expectation.The floating spell and the lighting spell were the first spells that Ekko used to reach Level 6. After such a long time, Ekko has used them in various ways.

I originally thought that I could easily fulfill Professor Flitwick's request, but the moment I chanted the curse, the flow of magic power in my body suddenly changed!

"You can practice according to this method and increase the difficulty little by little. In addition to being good for your magic control, it can also confuse your opponents in battle."

"Think about it, when the magic spell you recite is an explosion spell, but the real magic released is a fire spell, will it make your opponent confused?"

He nodded subconsciously. Although he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find it for a while.

"Okay, Professor, I will practice." Ike decided to agree first. This practice method is indeed useful.

After the training session, when facing Comrade Xiao Fu, he could recite the incantation of the Fire Curse, but what he released was Avada.

It will definitely catch him off guard!

"This is not an easy thing, especially for you. You have regarded some spells as instincts, and it is quite troublesome to control them again."

"I will do it, Professor." Ike smiled brightly, and Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while, and Professor Snape on the other side finally finished dealing with the basilisk, even the snake blood on the ground was cleaned up.

Ike even squatted down and searched carefully, but there was no trace of the basilisk except for gravel.

"Okay, we should go back." Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat from Ike's head and carried it in his hand. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already very late, so he immediately asked everyone to leave.

"It's really time to go back." Snape agreed casually, and Ike couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Of course you have to go back quickly so you can put the basilisk in your private collection."

Empty it sooner or later!
