Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The welcome dinner every year follows the same process.

During the branching, Dumbledore gave a speech, introduced the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, reiterated the prohibitions that few people would obey, then started eating, and ended with a splendid performance of the school song by a group of demons.

For decades, there has been nothing new at all.

But as the first grand dinner of the new school year, the food will not disappoint. Whole legs of lamb, ham, various meats, and desserts will pile the table full.

The point is, even with the joint boycott of many professors, the pile of cockroaches still stubbornly appeared.

Lick it, soak it, twist it, it will still taste delicious!

Stewart and others are no longer surprised by Ike's strange hobby. Even Mandy, Morag and other girls who were very disgusted at first no longer care. There are even young wizards in lower grades who imitate him.

I grabbed one, but in the end I didn’t have the courage.

During the entire dinner, perhaps Ike and Dumbledore were the only ones who were keen on this disgusting-looking candy.

"Merlin..." Professor McGonagall glanced at Ike on the Ravenclaw table, then at Dumbledore beside him, and shook his head helplessly.

"Relax Minerva." Dumbledore smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's the back-to-school dinner, and it's enough for one of us to have a cold face."

As he said that, he turned to look at Snape at the side, and then turned back suddenly as if he was frightened by that face that was colder than ice.

Snape didn't notice Dumbledore's indirect nervousness at all. His attention kept wandering between Harry and Lupin. Thanks to someone's deliberate intention, Snape had a crush on the four former Marauders.

The group was even more disgusted.

If possible, he would be happy to give these "despicable and disgusting" guys a slap in the face...

No, the Unforgivable Curse should be used again and again, otherwise it will not be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Crack, click"

It had been a while since the knife passed through the steak and was cut on the plate, but Snape seemed not to notice, staring at Lupin coldly, while his hands continued to cut in a rhythmic manner.

In fact, in detail, Snape's hatred is more concentrated on James and Black, who are the initiators of everything. Lupine and Peter mostly agree with their decisions, after all, they are the same

He usually looks timid and timid, but he transforms every time the moon is full, and he feels a little inferior in his heart.

But two of the former Marauders were declared dead, and the other had just escaped from Azkaban. From the moment he knew that Sirius had escaped from prison, Snape had already made up his mind to kill him with his own hands.

.Firstly, to avenge Lily, and secondly, to vent the anger and resentment that has been accumulated in my heart for so many years.

Although no one knows where Sirius is now, for Snape, Lupin is enough for now.

"Revenge begins with adding wolfsbane potion," Snape couldn't wait any longer.

As for Harry?

Forget it, let's deal with Lupine first.

Out of sight, out of mind...

Lupine naturally noticed Snape's state, but didn't pay much attention to it, appearing extremely indifferent. As a former member of the Order of the Phoenix, he agreed to Dumbledore's position as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, so finding a job to earn some money was

On the one hand, but more importantly, it was to protect Harry and ensure that when Sirius found Harry, he could stop the crimes of his former best friend.

He missed it once more than ten years ago, and he didn't want to miss it this time.

As for Snape's revenge, in fact, Lupine had been mentally prepared for a long time. But perhaps the suffering he suffered since childhood made his tolerance different from ordinary people.

Besides, since Dumbledore was still there, Snape could only do some small tricks like before and just tolerate it.

The most important thing is Harry.

In today's magical world, Ike is the only one who knows the truth of that year, but he has no intention of telling it. For Ike, the most important thing in the third year is not the battle between Snape and the survivors of the Marauders.

But learn.

Crazy learning.

There were a total of twelve courses, and only Ike and Hermione took all of them in the third grade. Due to their stable performance, the Ministry of Magic also approved the application for the use of the Time Turner, which was handed over to Professor McGonagall before the start of the school year.

.

"Miss Granger, Mr. Strider, please come with me."

After the dinner, Professor McGonagall stopped Ike and Hermione who were chasing each other at the door of the auditorium, and took them back to her own office.

After entering the room, he ignored the two people who were still "winking" and took out a box from the desk drawer. When he opened it, he found two golden necklaces with a small golden hourglass hanging on each.

"This is a time turner." Professor McGonagall looked more serious than before, "You must swear that it can only be used for learning and not to reveal anything about the time turner to anyone else."

"Turning the hourglass once means going back one hour, but it can only go back five hours at most..."

"You must be aware that time-related magic is very unstable, and a slight carelessness may lead to extremely serious consequences..."

"You must remember! Five hours means the hourglass turns five times. This is the limit!"

"Also, never meet your past self, otherwise something terrible will happen!"

Ike and Hermione quickly agreed, solemnly took the time turner from Professor McGonagall, and hung it carefully around their necks. Professor McGonagall warned them several more times, and asked them to repeat it again, and then they took a moment.

Relax.

He turned back and picked up two books from the table and handed them over: "This is the law enacted by the Ministry of Magic on the possession and use of time turners. You must write them down or even memorize them."

"I don't want to see you two in the dock of the Wizengamot..."

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, we will strictly abide by the rules of use." Seeing Professor McGonagall's eyes falling directly on him, Ike quickly expressed his stance, not forgetting to pull Hermione aside.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, we promise that it will only be used for study."

"I hope so." Professor McGonagall glanced at the two of them pointedly, then returned to the chair and sat down.

"It's time for you to go back to your dormitory. I hope you won't forget the promise you made today."

"We got it, Professor McGonagall, goodbye..."

The two bowed slightly, and then slowly walked out of the door. As soon as the door closed, Hermione glared at Ike fiercely, then grabbed his clothes and walked towards the stairs.

"We still have some unresolved matters, don't try to run away this time, Ike Strider!"
