Magical Studies at Hogwarts

When we returned to the dormitory, it was close to midnight. It took Snape a long time to dismember the basilisk, otherwise it would have been earlier.

Ike's dormitory was rarely so lively. Stuart, Terry, Michael and Anthony kept insisting. They were worried about Ike's misfortune after being called away by Snape.

Although I knew deep down that it was not impossible, Snape had always given such an impression that I couldn't help but think too much about it.

"Oh my god, why did you come back! What does Snape want from you?" Stewart asked immediately when he saw Ike for the first time, which also woke up Anthony who was dozing next to him.

"A lot of things." Ike moved a chair and sat down, waving his hand for everyone to gather around, and then said, "We went to the secret room, and the deans of the four colleges together..."

"Secret room!" Everyone exclaimed in unison with a tacit understanding. The sound was so loud that it made Ike's ears hurt.

"Don't be so loud." He muttered in a low voice. After the four people calmed down a little, Ike continued, "...In short, the basilisk has been eliminated, and there should be no more attacks in a short time. .”

"Short time? You mean..."

"Yes, the danger has not been eliminated." Ike nodded at Terry and answered his question.

"So, our training will continue, at least until April."

Ike put on a straight face and said seriously.

Obviously, after learning the news about the basilisk's death, the originally tense nerves of the four Stewarts relaxed a little.Although Ike could make them nervous again as long as he told them everything, it was a pity that he couldn't do that.

The weight of Voldemort and the Basilisk in the young wizard's heart is very different.For the basilisk, most people will find it novel. Fear and fear are only a minority. If you die, you will die. People who are attacked by the basilisk can recover anyway.But Voldemort was different. The brutal Wizarding War made it clear to everyone that he was a guy who really knew how to kill!

Unable to solve the problem directly, Ike could only rely on his own strength and influence to urge Stewart and the others to continue their efforts.

Starting the next day, the training of the five people continued.Since the basilisk was already dead, Ike stopped training on the Eye Disease Curse and Transfiguration, and focused on the Iron Armor Curse, Obstacle Curse, Fire Curse and Shattering Curse, and also added training on the Illusion Curse.

Under Ike's high-pressure training, Stewart and others made rapid progress, especially the Iron Armor Curse and Obstacle Curse, which were able to be successfully released.By the time Valentine's Day falls on February [-]th, except for the Phantom Body Curse which still occasionally works, the other spells have basically reached Ike's standards.

It has to be said that as long as the Little Eagles focus on studying, basically no one can beat them.

Of course, except for hanging up.

According to Ike's experience, the practice of the Disguise Curse cannot be rushed.Even though he was a proficient person, it took him a long time to learn.Even if Stewart and others are given step-by-step guidance now, they cannot learn it in a short time.

The grinding work saved Ike a lot of things, at least he no longer had to look at the four Stewarts every day.The four Stewarts also felt much more relaxed. After all, anyone facing Snape's gaze for more than ten hours a day would be tense and uncomfortable.

Hogwarts has been very peaceful for more than a month. Perhaps due to Dumbledore's instructions, the news of the basilisk's destruction has not spread.The little wizards are also very forgetful. Even if Patsy and the others are still lying in the school hospital, they still need to eat, drink and play, as if they have forgotten this matter directly.

The dueling club continued, but the number of participants was much less. Basically, the fifth and seventh graders didn't come anymore, only some juniors from the lower grades remained.

Lockhart also learned from his first experience and asked the easy-to-talk Professors Flitwick and Sprout for help.I have to say that this is a very good choice. Both professors will not blush in front of Lockhart and make it difficult for him to step down. They will even help maintain order and occasionally teach some real dueling skills and solid information.

Of course, all this in Lockhart's mouth can always be used as a tool for him to brag about himself.

Perhaps they are used to it, and everyone watches Lockhart's performance more like a comedy.

On Valentine's Day morning, Lockhart was having trouble again.

The auditorium was decorated again, with large pink flowers covering the four walls, and colorful heart-shaped confetti falling from the light blue ceiling.

Ike and Stewart trained a little late the day before, and arrived at the auditorium much later than usual. They were immediately shocked when they saw this.

Lockhart's biggest enemy, Stewart, immediately glared at Lockhart, who was wearing a pink robe on the professor's chair, with disgust, and walked to the Ravenclaw table first without saying a word.When he saw Padma, Morty, Morag and others across the long table looking fascinated, he couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Look, this guy has ruined the school again." It’s such a mess, I really don’t know why Dumbledore hasn’t fired him yet!”

Upon hearing this, Morty rolled his eyes at Stewart and said, "Okay, I know you don't like Professor Lockhart, but please don't disturb us from enjoying his performance."

"You can't deny that this outfit is still very romantic!" Morag also added.

Stewart was robbed of a few words and was about to say something, but was stopped by Ike and Terry.

If we continue talking, there will definitely be a fuss.

"Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!"

Seeing that the little wizards had almost arrived, Lockhart stood up and said loudly: "So far, 46 people have sent me greeting cards. I would like to express my gratitude to them!"

"Yes, I took it upon myself to arrange this little surprise for everyone, and that's not all!"

Lockhart clapped his hands, and twelve gloomy-looking dwarfs walked in with golden wings and harps on their backs.As if he didn't see the faces of the dwarfs, Lockhart said cheerfully: "Welcome our warm, friendly little Cupid with a greeting card!"

"They'll be wandering around the school today delivering you Valentine's Day cards!"

“Of course, the fun doesn’t end there, and I’m sure my colleagues will be happy to join in!”

"Speaking of which, why don't you ask Professor Snape to teach you how to prepare a love potion? Or ask Professor Flitwick about psychedelic magic?"

"Believe me, their capabilities in this regard will exceed your imagination!"

Ike looked at the livid Snape on the professor's chair and Professor Flitwick who was shrinking himself. He always felt that if Lockhart continued to speak, a curse would fly from an unknown place. Let him make a big fool of himself.

"Eat quickly and go back to the dormitory after eating." Ike greeted Stewart and others to eat quickly. "The professors are obviously not in a good mood. Believe me, even if it is Sunday, it will be even worse if the reason is found."

"Especially Snape, didn't you see the look on his face?"

Upon hearing this, Stewart and the others quickly speeded up their eating, and after a few minutes of hastily solving the problem like Ike, they left quietly.

Today is destined to be uneventful, so I won't go to training. It's better to hide.
