Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Hogwarts is quiet at night, and it feels like a ghostly castle in a horror movie.

However, it just seemed like there was no one around.

All the school rules of Hogwarts are useless in many cases. As long as you have enough ability and do things that are out of line without being discovered or caught, then all the school rules are empty words and have no effect.

This is especially true with curfews and forest bans.

Although Dumbledore would emphasize this at the opening dinner every year, unfortunately almost all senior students had violated these two rules.

Ike could clearly feel that at the door of an abandoned classroom near the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, there were two students standing close together who didn't know what they were doing.

They were not very skilled in the Disguise Spell. When Ike went downstairs, he casually glanced and noticed the strange magic fluctuations there.

"It seems that it is not even at level 1."

Ignoring this pair of guys who were either specialties of the corrupt country or people of the opposite sex attracting each other, Ike cautiously came to the library.

The library door was closed at night, but not locked. It opened with a gentle push.

I closed the door with my backhand and went straight to the entrance of the forbidden book area. Although it was locked, it was no different from being unlocked. It opened with an opening spell.

"As long as I don't get caught, nothing will happen."

Ike secretly complained, gaining a deeper understanding of Hogwarts school rules.

Unlike the books outside the door for students to browse at will, Ike felt a faint chill as soon as he stepped through the door of the restricted book area.

"Content not suitable for young students to read", this description can sum up all the books in the restricted area.

But pay attention to the key points: not suitable and young.

Some contents are indeed dangerous, such as books related to black magic. Most of those books have been cast with vicious and sinister magic. Even if people who don't know why pick them up, they may be bitten, cursed, and souls.

Injuries in the form of impacts are mostly similar to forbidden blood fusion, vicious curses, cultivation of evil magical creatures and sacrificial rituals, etc.

These are obviously not suitable for young wizards with low magic level and low magic knowledge.

On the other hand, if you are a wizard with high level of magic, magic knowledge and magic control, there will be no big problem in reading it.

Ike carefully looked at the banned books on the bookshelf, ignoring the blood-colored books with unknown leather covers and the books with barely audible whispers. He did not dare to touch those books yet.

Others who were still struggling while being chained walked around and walked away.

After searching for a while, Ike found what he was looking for on an ordinary-looking bookshelf.

Miranda Gorshak's Book of Spells and the complete, unabridged version of Standard Spells.

"The Book of Spells" is the first spell textbook created by Miranda Gorshak. Once it was published, it was translated into 72 languages, including goblins and mermaids, and is used by all magic schools around the world.

However, it caused a lot of controversy because it contained some jinxes. Although Miranda Gorshak believed that using moderately offensive jinxes would prevent students from resolving disputes by using more dangerous jinxes, this is obviously

It could not satisfy the doubters and opponents. So I don’t know when the "Book of Spells" was placed in the restricted book area.

Unfortunately, "locking" the "Book of Spells" cannot prevent the spread of curses among young wizards.

"Standard Spells" is a textbook specially written by Miranda based on her experience when she was studying at Hogwarts after the "Book of Spells" was boycotted, for young wizards to learn spells. Compared with "Book of Spells", "Standard Spells"

There are more spells in "Spells" and the explanations are more detailed.

However, the first edition of "Standard Spells" still contained many mischief spells and even offensive spells that could cause serious harm, which also caused "Standard Spells" to follow in the footsteps of the "Book of Spells".

As for the subsequent series of teaching materials, they were the product of deleting jinxes and offensive spells, and some difficult spells were also removed.

Such as the Patronus Charm.

Whether in the "Book of Spells" or the complete and unabridged version of "Standard Spells", there is a Patronus Charm.

Putting the two books in his robe and hugging them, and locking the door to the restricted book area, Ike quietly walked towards Ravenclaw Tower.

Hogwarts is almost as lively at night as during the day. Tricksters like to cause trouble for the castle caretaker. Peeves likes to add more work to Filch and Mrs. Norris, and there are also people like Gryffindor.

The Weasley twins are the best among them.

Ike didn't want to bet on whether the Christmas dinner would make the troublemakers give up their battle plan tonight, or maybe they would go back much faster because of their subconscious guilt after doing bad things.

After observing the Ravenclaw door for a while, Ike gently knocked on the door knocker after confirming that nothing was abnormal.

“Where does the afternoon arrive before the morning?”

"In the dictionary."

"Great answer."

The bronze door knocker finished speaking in a muffled voice and opened the door panel, revealing the archway leading to the common room. Ike maintained the illusion spell and walked straight through the lounge back to the dormitory.

Put the loot under the pillow and go straight to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, it was almost noon. Stuart and Terry didn't know where they went to play again. Ike didn't investigate. After washing briefly, he carried two books and came to the portrait of Barnabas where the troll beat the fool.

forward.

After walking back and forth three times, meditating on a room dedicated to Ike Strider of Ravenclaw, a gorgeous door appeared on the wall as Ike expected.

Pushing the door open, you will find a room that is very similar to the Ravenclaw common room. It is very spacious. Opposite the door is a burning fireplace. On the fireplace, there is a row of letters with soft white light, spelling out Ike.

There is a single sofa placed to the left of the fireplace. The floor is covered with a Ravenclaw blue carpet. There is a wooden coffee table above the eagle embroidery in the center of the carpet.

Behind the sofa is a potion workbench, with a crucible, chopping board, knife, roller, spoon and other potion tools. There is also a cabinet next to it, but there is no potion material in it. On the other side of the wall are

With a desk, in the dormitory with Ike

It is almost the same, with two rows of bookshelves on both sides. In addition to the books owned and spent by Ike, there are also hundreds of books unique to the Room of Requirement, such as "Self-Defense Spells" and "Outwit the Dark Arts".

” and “Common Spells and Unspellings” etc.

Sitting on the sofa, Ike put the "Standard Spells" on the coffee table, and opened the "Book of Spells". Most of the spells in it had reached level 6. Ike roughly looked at the remaining spells.

Mischief spells such as the Bat Spirit Charm, the Stick in the Front Teeth, and the Dancing Charm are not complicated. Some of them have been studied by Ike but have not been used, so there is no level display on the Waste Notepad system.

After flipping through it, there was only one spell left, which happened to be Ike’s goal of sneaking into the forbidden book area:

One of the oldest and most powerful defensive magics - the Patronus Charm!
