Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The difficulty of brewing the Fuling Elixir can be said to be at the ceiling level. There should be no mistakes in the tedious steps, which tests one's energy and control.

To be honest, Ike has no confidence in accomplishing this goal. Highly difficult potions require a familiar process even for potion masters.

From this point of view, everyone's starting line is the same. And whether you can reach the end, all you need is talent and a lot of galleons.

Seeing that almost a third of a huge sum of more than a thousand dollars was lost in the blink of an eye, Ike's heart was filled with pain. But at this time, the role of the time turner was revealed.

It is known that Ekko can brew two crucibles of potion at the same time, and each pot takes 20 hours. Using the time turner, up to five Ekko can appear at the same time.

Question: How much potion will Ike get after 90 days?

liver.

Explosive liver.

He used the time turner more frequently than last semester, and even though there was an "Ike" resting and sleeping almost every moment, it still made him feel very tired.

This kind of mental fatigue cannot be compensated by indirect rest.

Moreover, occupying the Room of Requirement for a long time also caused a minor trouble.

"Ike Strider!"

In the Hogwarts kitchen at the end of March, Ike, who was eating like crazy, was blocked by an angry Hermione. She was still holding Crookshanks in her hand. It was obvious that he had lost a lot of weight.

.

Brewing the potion requires full concentration. During the past month of being addicted to the potion, Ike has maintained this state of concentration, and naturally he has somewhat neglected Crookshanks.

Not that he was hungry, but he ran out of food every now and then, and since there was no more enjoyable cat-playing show, the smart Crookshanks naturally gave up.

After many protests were "ignored", it could only choose the last resort -

Complain!

It would definitely not be effective to run over like this. After all, Crookshanks was very plump due to the careful feeding in the previous few months, and he had a "big orange is the most important" meaning.

He was also ruthless and insisted on running without eating for three days, so when Crookshanks appeared in front of Hermione again, he was already haggard and haggard.

Not to mention that his body shape is several times thinner than before, and the hair on his body is also dirty. Coupled with his iconic round face, he looks so pitiful.

"What the hell are you doing!"

Ike raised his head, and Hermione was startled by the deep dark circles under his eyes.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." He picked up the lemon tea and took a deep sip, suppressing the bolognese noodles he had just eaten. "That thing was used a bit too much, so I didn't get enough rest."

"Ah?" Hermione was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was talking about the time turner. "What do I mean, every time I go to the Room of Requirement during this period, it fails. Are you always in there?"

"It should be." Ike thought for a while and replied, "There is indeed an 'I' inside."

"You, you, you are risking your life!" Hermione was very anxious, "There is no need to tighten yourself so much. Is there anything you can do..."

"...You can tell me!"

"It's okay, I'm just brewing some potions." Ike replied casually, not noticing the change in Hermione's tone.

"What potion can make you like this?"

"Um..." Ike was speechless for a moment, "It's nothing, it's just that the quantity I brewed was a bit too much."

Hermione understood somewhat, and the worry on her face disappeared, revealing an expression that was difficult to explain, a bit like Snape in an iceberg state, and like Professor McGonagall catching a erring student.

"How many?"

"About 10?"

"at the same time?"

"at the same time."

"call……"

Hermione took a deep breath and said extremely calmly: "You are really amazing..."

At this time, Ike also heard something unusual in Hermione's tone. For some reason, he seemed to be under a petrification spell and remained motionless. His words of retort came to his lips but he couldn't say anything.

The two were silent for a while, and then Hermione sighed softly and said while petting the cat: "Be careful, don't be too tired."

"I'll take Crookshanks back first. You can't raise him in this state."

"Okay... okay." Ike nodded blankly, and then watched Hermione leave. The sinister cat was still lying on his shoulder and making a face at him.

Silently cleaning up the mess on the table, Ike left the kitchen.

At the same time, Ike, who was brewing Baffy's Brain Refreshing Potion in the suitcase while looking at Fuling's Spirit Refreshing Potion, shuddered violently and looked at the top of his head in confusion.

"This feeling of suppressed blood...forget it, never mind..."

On the other side, Hermione returned to the Gryffindor lounge with a cold face. Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess on the sofa in the lounge. Seeing Hermione like this, he couldn't help but shudder.

"She...what happened?" Harry asked, and he hadn't noticed that his voice was trembling.

"I don't know." Ron frowned and watched Hermione return to the dormitory.

"I always feel like something bad will happen..."

"You are imagining things again." Ron said, "Don't pay attention to what Trelawney said in the divination class. She is simply a liar!"

"But, Parvati's words came true. She did lose something very important in mid-October..."

"Oh my god! Harry, how long ago that happened! Every time she would make some terrible 'prophecies', a few of the many 'prophecies' happened to come true!"

"Okay, you're right Ron, I thought too much." Harry shook his head, as if to get rid of the horror in his mind.

"It must be the aftereffects of practicing the Patronus Charm recently..." Harry thought silently in his heart.

It has indeed been a long time. For more than two months, Harry's Patronus Charm still has not been fully released. Even now, when faced with the dementors turned into by Boggarts, Professor Lupine still needs to solve it.

.

This made him feel like he couldn't do anything well and was powerless.

"If you ask me, she has been weird this whole year." Ron said, "I still can't figure out how she managed to appear in two classes at the same time, and inexplicably with Ravenclaw.

That guy is as bad as Malfoy if he gets too close!"

"Ron, actually... Ike is quite nice." As soon as Harry finished speaking, Ron's hair exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"He's doing well there! Remember when we were in first grade, he was always with Quirrell!"

"Last year, he gave Hermione a coma spell so hard that her memory is still missing to this day!"

"Who knows why Hermione is still so close to him? I think he even encouraged Hermione to buy that bad cat!"

"Didn't you see just now? Hermione brought the cat back again!"

"Poor Banban, it has just had a peaceful life..."

Harry listened helplessly to Ron's constant complaints, and didn't even know what he should say. Everything this semester was weird, including Black Dog, Scabbers, Crookshanks, Hermione, and Ron.

With Professor Lupine, everyone is weird.

There was also Sirius, his father's former best friend, and the culprit who killed his parents. Harry didn't know what to do when he really appeared in front of him.

Leave it to the professor and Aoluo?

still……

Kill him...
