Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Professor Binns is definitely different from other ghosts.

Generally speaking, once you become a ghost, you will naturally lose your ability to cast spells, but Professor Binns obviously still retains the magic of hypnosis and awakening.As soon as he opened his mouth, the students in the classroom naturally gradually fell asleep, and once get out of class was over, they would naturally wake up again.

Stuart stretched out and thought to himself that this History of Magic class was just as the seniors said, it was very easy to sleep.It’s just that I wasn’t prepared enough the first time, so it would be better to sneak a pillow over next time.

Terry and Terry, who had also just woken up, yawned and called Ike back to the common room to play.Ike shook his head and put the textbook in Stuart's arms. The two thick "History of Magic" books were so heavy that Stuart almost hugged them without paying attention.

"I'm going to the library. Please help me get the books back first."

"Why don't you work so hard, Ike?" Stewart wailed, "This is just the first day of school!"

"I just went to see what books the library has." Ike shrugged, "I'll see you later."

Saying goodbye to his roommates, Ike went directly to the library.

The library of Hogwarts is worthy of the title of the largest and only magic school in the UK. The first thing you see is thousands of bookshelves and hundreds of narrow passages.There is a long table at regular intervals in the passage, with chairs on both sides of the long table for the little wizards to use.

Tens of thousands of books are neatly placed on the bookshelves, separated by iron bars at the innermost part, which are enchanted. The only entrance is next to the desk of the librarian, Mrs. Irma Pince.Without the professor's approval note, no one could sneak into the restricted book area under Mrs. Pince's nose during opening hours.

On the first day of school, there were many students in the library, most of whom were in fifth grade or above and were facing OWLs and NEWTs exams. Especially fifth graders had to face the double pressure of schoolwork and pressure.

Ike glanced briefly and then turned back. After searching in the bookshelf according to the index for a while, he finally found a nearly complete version of "Standard Spells".

After Miranda Gorshak created "Standard Spells", it became a common textbook for spells courses in the three major magic schools in Europe. However, the whole book is too thick and it also involves some black magic.After discussion by the International Federation of Wizards, it was divided into five books from elementary to fifth level, and the dark magic part was deleted.

Hogwarts naturally has a complete collection of "Standard Spells", but in the restricted book section, all Ike could find was a collection of "Standard Spells" from grades one to five.

But that's enough.

"Standard Spells: Elementary" does not involve attack spells, but daily spells such as floating spells and lighting spells.Ike knew very well that in the same grade as the savior, he could relax a little in the first year, but starting from the second grade, he would face the threat of basilisk attacks, and in the third grade, there would be dementors.

All things considered, this whole semester is the only one that is stable.

What's more, who knows how chaotic the plot will be because of Ike's existence.

Before learning the Disguise Charm and being able to sneak into the forbidden book area secretly, this "Standard Spell" was Ike's only source of learning spells.

Ike went through the petrification spell, the coma spell, the disarming spell, and the crushing spell. Basically, all the common spells in his memory could be found on them, but there was no Disillusionment Curse.

But it's enough for now.

Taking "Standard Spell" to Mrs. Pince's desk, Ike gently put the book on the table and said softly: "Mrs. Pince, I want to borrow this book."

Mrs. Pince pushed up her glasses, glanced at Ike, and then at the "Standard Spells" on the table. While filling out the book borrowing form, she said: "As a first-year freshman, I think you need to know how to borrow books. rule."

"If you scratch, tear, dent, soil, damage, throw, drop, or otherwise damage, abuse, or desecrate this book in any way, I will subject you to the most dire consequences within my power."

"Trust me, you don't want to know what you're in for."

Mrs. Pince made a copy of the library slip, sandwiched the original copy on the first page of "Standard Spells", and handed it to Ike.

"There is a time limit for borrowing books. I hope to see the book in perfect condition in front of me in two weeks."

"As you wish, Mrs. Pince."

Ike nodded slightly and replied softly.

After leaving the library, Ike went straight to the auditorium.Dinner at Hogwarts starts at seven o'clock, and it is already a quarter past seven.

Dinner was a little better than lunch, with a few extra stews and plenty of fried chicken.

As soon as Ike entered the auditorium, he saw a red-haired lion cub performing the stunt of shooting left and right with a chicken leg in each hand. He glanced at it subconsciously, and then came to the Ravenclaw table, still eating meatballs and spaghetti. Pan-seared veal with a glass of rich pumpkin juice.

It’s impossible to try stew, it looks worse than the Northeastern stew!

After dinner, the other four eaglets arrived belatedly.Ike said hello to a few people and returned to the common room. He sat down on a small sofa in the corner, put on his "ear plugs and listened", and immersed himself in "Standard Spells".

He didn't notice when Stewart and others came back. When Ike came to his senses, he was the only one left in the common room.

Closing the book, Ike quietly pushed open the bedroom door. Stuart and Terry were already asleep.

After casting a silent spell, Ike raised his hand and let the book fly to the desk. He changed into his pajamas and quickly got into bed, but he was still thinking about the contents of "Standard Spell" in his mind.

The role of mastering knowledge is greater than imagined. Even if the magic spells in "Standard Spells" are more complicated and profound, Ike still has not been troubled.After one afternoon and one night of studying, Ike has almost memorized the spell written above, and the rest is to use it successfully.

Only when a spell is successfully cast will the level of the spell be displayed on Ike's notepad system.

Of course, this depends on finding an opportunity, and it's not time to use the Room of Requirement yet.

Until you find and learn the Disillusionment Charm, you should still act with caution.

After waking up, Ike, Stuart and Terry went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor.Unfortunately, the new students in Ravenclaw and Slytherin became the first of all the new students to feel the pungent and unpleasant smell of Quirinus Quirrell up close.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was not big, and it was sealed tightly by Quirrell. The smell inside could not escape, which increased the lethality even more.As soon as Ike entered the door, he couldn't help but sneeze.

It turns out that not only yawns but also sneezes are contagious.

As soon as Ike finished, Stewart sneezed next to him, followed by the Slytherin snake who had been enduring it for a while, and Clark and Goyle couldn't stop at all.

There followed a series of ups and downs, and Quirrell on the podium clearly showed a hint of embarrassment.

This is a sin.Merlin once said that people cannot perfectly control their body's subconscious reactions, and neither can wizards.

After sneezing and inhaling subconsciously, the strange smell seemed to go straight to my brain, making me dizzy for a while.

"Whirlwind clean!"

Perhaps it was the reaction of the little wizards that stimulated Quirrell. Quirrell took out his wand and cleaned the air in the classroom. It was indeed much better, at least no one sneezed anymore.

"I am...Query...Linus Quirrell, you...your Professor of Defense Against Dark Arts, now please...please open...open the textbook and start...the class .”

Ike turned the textbook to Chapter 1, common dark creatures and defense methods.Ike, who had read the entire book during the holidays, could not memorize it from beginning to end, but he still knew the general content.

If we follow the normal teaching process, we should talk about a dark creature and explain its defense methods, with several theoretical lessons mixed with one practical lesson.It is a pity that since a certain being who cannot be named failed to apply for a job, the level of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors has been uneven. They can be roughly divided into those with some ability, bastards, and trash who are not even as good as bastards.

Quirrell originally belonged to the group with some ability, but now he has become a bastard because his energy was distracted by other things.

Fortunately, Ike, who had been mentally prepared, didn't take Quirrell's class seriously at all. He just pretended to listen carefully and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Do you want to think of a way to get Voldemort to say something? The chance to face the Dark Lord without being Avatar is only for this year..."
