Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"I heard that you have read all the books they sent?"

In the basement of Malfoy Manor, Comrade Lao Fu sat at one end of the long table and said softly. There was a perfectly cooked steak in front of him, which had just been cut into a small piece and had not yet been eaten.

"I've finished reading it." Ike took a mouthful of risotto, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and replied.

"What a strong energy." Comrade Lao Fu said calmly, and it was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or something else. "Do you understand?"

"Yeah." Ike nodded.

These pure-blood family books are still very helpful to Ike, but with his current level of magic, it is not difficult. At least, they did not give Ike much inspiration for him to find the magic spell.

How to advance to level 7.

"I heard about what you did in the second event of the competition. For you who can already use sea control skills, those help are indeed very limited." Comrade Lao Fu put down the knife and fork in his hand, and a pair of red

Looking at Ike, "But you have to know, little Ike, knowledge can be cheap or expensive."

"Are you ready to discover the true meaning of magic?"

"I'm ready." Ike's eyes were blazing, full of desire for knowledge. That hot and strong emotion made Comrade Lao Fu nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't be anxious, little Ike, you will get what you want. The Dark Lord will never treat those who have helped him badly." Comrade Lao Fu said pointedly, picked up the knife and fork again,

Enjoy the food carefully prepared by Malfoy in front of you.

"Okay, teacher."

Ike was not in a hurry, he was convinced that Comrade Lao Fu needed him now.

As long as he is valuable, he will definitely get what he wants...

Under normal circumstances, Ike would not dine with Comrade Lao Fu, but today was a special occasion. After finishing his meal, he bowed slightly to Comrade Lao Fu, and then left the basement, which was basically dedicated to Comrade Lao Fu.

.

Going up the stairs, Lucius, Crabbe, Goyle and Wormtail were standing outside the door, nodding to them, Lucius and the others immediately bowed slightly.

Within the Death Eaters, Ike's status is special.

There is an essential difference between students and servants. With the support of Comrade Lao Fu, Death Eaters like Lucius would not dare to show any disrespect.

Everyone can see how kind Comrade Lao Fu is to Ike.

"Mr. Malfoy, I have something to ask you for help." Ike stopped and Lucius quickly asked, "Little master, what can I ask of you?"

"I want a quiet room to do some magic experiments, something remote, preferably in a manor but not in this castle." Ike said, "You also know the dangers of magic experiments..."

"No problem, this is a very simple matter." Lucius said.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. If it is convenient, please prepare a cauldron, quill, carving knife and some magic materials for me. Common ones will be fine."

"Okay, I'll let you know when I'm ready."

Lucius was very efficient. Early the next morning he took Ike to a small tiled house near the woods in the north of the manor. When he opened the door and walked in, it was obvious that it had been tidied up. There were cabinets on all four walls.

The shelves are filled with all kinds of magic materials, whether they are potions or alchemy, except for a few extremely rare ones, they are all basically there.

"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy." Ike said calmly. Lucius quickly bowed in return, but did not get up immediately.

"There is one thing I hope you can agree to."

"You said."

"I want Draco to come over and be your assistant before school starts..."

Ike looked at the somewhat humble Lucius and nodded in agreement. He knew very well what Lucius had in mind, so he did not reveal it or reject it. After all, no matter how he looked at it, there was no harm in Draco being stronger.

of.

But obviously, Draco himself didn't think much about it.

Ever since Comrade Old Voldemort and Ike moved into Malfoy Manor, Draco's life has been very difficult. In addition to not being able to be as casual as before, Draco actually lives in fear every day and every moment.

Even though he always used "Comrade Lao Fu" to scare Harry when he was at school, no one would want to live with such a dangerous person day and night.

"Wolfsbane potion, you know." While selecting potion ingredients from the cabinet shelf, Ike said casually to Draco, who was standing next to him and competing with him.

"I know." Draco's mood was not very high. Ike could tell that, but he ignored it. Instead, he ordered in an almost commanding tone, "Then what are you waiting for? Help me prepare the materials until the start of school.

You have to make at least one portion yourself."

"This...is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible, Draco." Ike thrust a list into Malfoy's arms, stared into Draco's eyes, and said in a very serious tone, "Now, it is impossible for you to be like before.

…”

Draco was silent for a long time, then finally nodded, and helped Ike prepare the potion ingredients according to the materials on the list. Ike didn't pay much attention, and went directly to the crucible with the ones he had just found, and lit it with a flick of his finger.

After lighting up the fire, he began to brew the wolfsbane potion.

"Remember Lupine? When he was in third grade, Snape would brew a Wolfsbane potion for him every month." Ike said casually while putting potion ingredients into the crucible rhythmically,

"It's actually not difficult, just very tedious. Just like Snape said in Potions class, this is a precise, rigorous, and wonderful process that leaves no room for mistakes..."

Draco stood aside, watching quietly as Ike put materials into the crucible one after another like a machine that would never make mistakes. The whole process lasted for more than an hour, but there was no lag at all.

.

They watched like this for four full hours, Draco said nothing and just watched from the side, until Ike finally closed the lid of the crucible.

"Do you know when it will be ready?" Ike asked.

"I know, it's on the list you gave me." Draco replied.

"Then, the job of opening the lid will be left to you." Ike said, "Then you can start trying..."

Giving up the position of the potion workbench to Draco, Ike came to the other side of the room, picked up a carving knife and a piece of obsidian, sat on a chair and began to carefully carve magic words on it.

In terms of potions, before getting a new potion formula, Ike actually has little room for improvement. Indeed, he can try to invent a new potion, but this is completely thankless and also

It does not meet the current needs. Instead, it is about ancient runes and ancient magic. Because of the pure-blood family's collection of books, Ike has some new ideas that he wants to try.

For example, building a bridge between ancient magic and modern magic...
