Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Snape should have told Dumbledore, and Ike clearly felt that the castle was more tightly guarded the next day.

There are many iron armors in the corridors, stair corners, and abandoned classrooms that few people go to. They are holding spears and axes in their hands, motionless.When nothing happens, these iron armors are just decorations, but when needed, they are warriors who are not afraid of life and death.

Filch became even more elusive, always appearing in some remote places and driving away the little wizards wandering around with harsh words.Of course, in the eyes of most young wizards, Filch was just venting his emotions.

Just like he always did.

To be honest, Ike didn't know where to find Comrade Xiao Fu. The bitter consequences of the plot change made him feel so dizzy that he didn't even have any reliable guesses.

But it is certain that Comrade Xiaofu’s ultimate target is him, so Ike deliberately stays alone in the hope that Comrade Xiaofu will not be able to help but jump out and attack him.

It's a pity that Xiao Fu is not a violent Lao Fu, and he has no flaws in his IQ.With such an obvious flaw, he would not be fooled.

Every night, Michael and Anthony would come to Ike's dormitory.They are also always paying attention to anything unusual around them.But like Ike, I found nothing.

Ike could clearly see that Comrade Xiaofu's threat had made them a little confused.As a result, I became more and more anxious, which even affected my normal study.

In Potions class, Ike misplaced the ingredients in the wrong order and almost caused the cauldron to explode.Snape was very angry about this. After taking advantage of the situation in a strange way, he deducted 10 points from Ravenclaw.

That night, after Ike returned to the dormitory after his routine tour of the castle, he saw the four Stewarts sitting neatly on chairs with serious expressions.

"Ike, sit down first," Terry said, pointing to a chair.

"What's wrong?" Ike forced out a smile and looked at the four people who were still serious.

"You need to rest, Ike." Stewart advised. "In just one week, you almost exploded the cauldron in Potions class. This is not something you have done."

"Everyone is anxious," Terry continued, "but you don't have to make yourself so tired."

"Every night, you go out while we're asleep, right?"

Seeing Ike nodded, Terry continued: "We all know that you want to catch that bad guy quickly, but you should know that this is not an easy task."

"You don't even have a clue. You are doing useless work, Ike."

"I know, but this time is different from before. He will really..." Before Ike could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Stewart.Then Stewart took out the speculum from his pocket and said, "It will hurt people, right, but you have also prepared in advance. You gave us this speculum."

"Unless it's bad, we're safe."

"But it didn't respond last time..." Ike said.

"His target was not us last time, Ike." Terry said, "You probably didn't bring your own looking glass that day."

Ike was silent for a while and lowered his head slightly. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will pay attention to my situation. What happened in Potions class will not happen again."

"That's good." Stewart clapped his hands with a smile on his face, "Now, just rest! You need a good sleep!"

"Maybe there will be clues when I wake up?"

Ike really wanted to tell them that the quality of his sleep was actually very good, that the effect of the coma spell was super powerful, and that the accident in Potions class was just something he was thinking about at the time.However, after seeing these four faces that showed the slightest hint of worry, the words were not spoken in the end.

After a peaceful night's sleep, no clues popped up the next day as Stewart said. It was still an ordinary day as before.

Ike relaxed the tight string in his heart a little and stopped wandering around the castle deliberately.He understood that he had made a very serious mistake.

Don’t believe in other people’s abilities…

Travelers are not omnipotent and cannot do everything well.In terms of spell level alone, Ike is indeed stronger than many seventh-grade wizards, but compared with professors like Snape and Flitwick, there is still a big gap, let alone Dumbledore. The battle with Snape at the club already explained the problem.

In this world, there are so-called "children of the plane".

More than a month has passed so peacefully. The flowers, plants and trees in Hogwarts are full of green, and no accidents have happened.This kind of stable life even gave Ike the illusion that Comrade Xiaofu would never cause trouble again.

On the first Sunday in April, when Ike, Stuart and others returned from the auditorium, they suddenly found a piece of parchment on their bedside.I picked it up and looked at it, but it was a course selection schedule.

"Is it already this time?" Stewart looked at his piece of parchment, "I almost forgot, we will be in third grade in the second half of the year."

"Divination class, Arithmancy class, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies, Ike, Terry, how do you choose?"

Without thinking, Ike checked the five courses one by one, and then handed the parchment to Stuart.Stewart took it and took a look, and immediately replied in surprise: "You actually chose them all?"

"Of course." Ike nodded.

"But I heard Roger say that many of the courses here are in conflict!"

"I think the professors will solve this problem." Ike said with a smile, "Besides, it's not like no one has ever done this before."

"Okay." Stewart handed Ike's parchment back. He thought for a long time before checking the boxes for Divination and Muggle Studies.

"I think these two subjects are suitable for me. I heard that it is very easy to get an O in Divination, not to mention Muggle Studies. I come from a Muggle family!"

After saying that, Stewart came next to Terry and said, "You chose divination, ancient runes and the care of magical creatures?"

Before Terry could reply, Stuart hooked up the protection of magical animals on his parchment.

"You have chosen so many. If I have too few, wouldn't it make me look very unsociable?"

Both Ike and Terry were amused by Stewart's behavior, and they laughed for a while before stopping.Stewart didn't care either, and waited until the two of them had laughed enough before asking: "Send it to Professor Flitwick now?"

"Of course." Terry replied, "And aren't you curious how the professor will solve the problem of Ike's course conflict?"

The three of them left the dormitory chatting and laughing, and happened to meet Michael and others in the common room, so they simply left together.

Arriving at Professor Flitwick's office, the professor was talking to Padma and three girls. When he saw Ike and others coming in, he immediately waved and said, "Gentlemen! I guess you are also here to deliver the course selection list!"

"Come, let me see, what did you choose?"

Ike and others handed over the parchments one by one. Flitwick looked at them one by one and said: "Trelawney's divination class is the students' favorite class. Almost everyone can do it." Choose it..."

"Arithmetic divination is also good, and there is also a class on the protection of magical animals. If you like magical animals, this class is very suitable for you..."

"Oh! Ancient runes! Very good! Although it is very difficult, it does help your magic level a lot..."

"Muggle Studies...well...it's also pretty good..."

Professor Flitwick recorded the lessons of each candidate without a single pause.

"Okay, kids, I've written it all down. You can go and enjoy a wonderful weekend!" Professor Flitwick pushed up his glasses. "Mr. Strider, please wait a moment. I need to confirm with you." one thing."

Shrugging at Stewart and others, Ike waved his hand and asked them to wait for him outside for a while, then stayed alone.

When only Ike and Professor Flitwick were left in the office, Professor Flitwick asked: "Mr. Strider, are you sure you want to choose all the courses?"

"Yes, Professor, I'm sure." Ike replied firmly.

"You should know that some of the courses here are in conflict..."

Ike nodded and replied: "I heard it from Senior Roger."

"Okay, I get it." Professor Flitwick smiled and recorded the results of Ike's course selection.

"Now, you can go find your friends!"
