Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Like the Unforgivable Curse, the terrifying thing about the Soul-Seizing Curse is not the death and pain, but its ability to unknowingly make people act according to the wishes of the caster.

The reason why it is included in the category of the Unforgivable Curse is because it controls a person silently. You cannot tell from the surface whether a person has been under the Soul-Destroying Curse. Only after the caster removes the curse, can the cursed person

Tell the truth about the soul-stealing curse.

Think about it, two warriors who trust each other and fight side by side in a battle suddenly one of them stabs the other in the back at a critical moment of the battle...

Faced with the soul-stealing curse, you never know who you should believe.

Under certain conditions, the Seizing Curse is far more terrifying than the Death Curse and Cruciatus Curse.

However, among the three unforgivable curses, the soul-stealing curse is the only one that can be resisted or even escaped by relying on one's own strength after being cursed.

Ike knew two ways: the anti-thief waterfall in the vault under Gringotts and his own firm will.

In terms of will, Ike is still very confident. After all, he is a twelve-year-old wizard who has survived two bursts of magical negative effects and the two-second Cruciatus Curse.

What's more, he had already been prepared for Quirrell or Voldemort to do this.

Otherwise, that crappy notepad system would be more than just bloody.

"However, Comrade Lao Fu's skills are really good!" Ike looked at the series of lv7 magic spells on the system, and his saliva almost flowed down.

So tempting!

"The most urgent thing is to find a way out, but we can't get away with it." Ike thought all the way back to the dormitory.

Stuart and Terry were sitting at their desks writing furiously, writing homework on the history of magic. When Ike came in, they just raised their heads to say hello and continued writing.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Ike made a sound of gloating, took out the collection of cockroaches from the drawer, jumped slightly and lay half on the bed, watching the two of them doing their homework.

Entering March, the professors at Hogwarts seem to have said hello in advance, and the amount of homework after class has increased by at least 20%. Although the young wizards have a week to complete it, for some courses, one

The week is still very tight.

Such as Potions and Transfiguration.

Snape's homework has a standard process. First, he must write down the inventor of the potion and its specific effects at the beginning of the paper, then write down the materials, weight and detailed steps, then point out the error-prone areas, and finally write a paragraph about his own experience of the potion.

views on medicine.

Most young wizards will choose to talk about the benefits of this potion to wizards in the last part, so that at least they will not be lowered by Professor Snape.

Although there will be no extra points.

Ike is different. Many times his papers end at "errors", but for some potions, he will write about some small thoughts in the potion making process.

Most of them are inspired by cooking.

Although Professor Snape has a bad reputation, he is indeed responsible and will often inadvertently give him his opinion in the next Potions class after receiving the assignment.

If Aike's approach is good, he will often get feedback such as "It seems that Mr. Strider used all his intelligence on xxx and did not listen to my class carefully."

On the contrary, it is probably "Mr. Strider, do you know the difference between you and the troll? They are taller than you!"

Well... it's impossible to hear praise from Snape anyway.

The homework for the History of Magic is still simple. You only need to find the corresponding historical events from the thick "History of Magic" and give your own opinions. As long as your opinions are consistent with the mainstream opinions in the magical world, Professor Binns will be happy to give you

Write an o on your homework.

This is the easiest thing for Ravenclaws.

Stuart and Terry finished writing quickly. They threw their pens on the table and stretched their waists and moved their arms and necks. Then Terry asked: "Ike, what are you doing today?"

Why are you back so early?"

"It's all done." Ike shook the paper bag and replied lazily, "Professor Quirrell said I need to settle down, and we'll talk about it after a while."

"Oh." Stewart took out his favorite sizzling honey candy from the drawer, grabbed a small handful and gave it to Terry, "It looks very relaxed. At least you didn't fall asleep in bed when you came back like before."

"Yeah, it's very easy." Ike smiled, shaking his wand with his right hand, and a series of shining golden letters formed a complete sentence in the air, "By the way, Professor Flitwick left the last spells lesson about

Have you finished your homework on the repair spell?"

"Repairing spell? Why do I remember it's a softening spell!" Terry looked at the words floating in the air, looked at each other with Stewart, and the two of them nodded firmly.

"Softening spell? Isn't that the homework for Tuesday's Charms class? The repairing spell was left for Thursday!" Another string of words appeared in the air, this time a little longer, two sentences...

"Oh my God! It's over! There's only one day left, and there's still the Transfiguration homework to do!" Stewart screamed, looked at each other with Terry, and nodded again.

"Then come on! I'm going to bed first. I plan to go to the library to spend the day tomorrow. I haven't finished the book about transfiguration last time." After saying that, Ike threw the pile of cockroaches on the bedside and got inside.

Got into bed.

Stuart and Terry looked at each other, then looked at Ike, and then continued to make up their homework.

After breakfast the next day, Ike went to the library. He chose a book called "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" from the bookshelf and sat in his usual seat.

After a while, Hermione sat across from him holding a pile of books.

The little witch is still resentful of the fact that Ike has always been ahead of her in studies, so much so that she now spends a lot of time in the library, spending much more time in the library than Ike.

As usual, the two did not communicate and just did their own things. However, compared to before, Ike had to leave earlier.

Hermione hesitated a little, looked up at Ike who was registering books at Mrs. Pince's place, and lowered her head again. Only then did she realize that there was a piece of paper left on the spot where Ike was sitting.

A strip with his name written on it.

Taking the note and turning it over, Hermione couldn't help but frown. Then she looked up at Ike and saw Ike's leaving figure.

Biting the quill, Hermione looked at the paper again.

It was an ordinary piece of parchment, with Ike's familiar notes on it, but the content inside was a bit confusing.

An ordinary five-pointed star with only two lines of small words below:

"When you see this star again, please believe me."

"PS: Please leave the library as soon as possible. I have cast a spell on this paper. There are still five minutes before it spontaneously combusts."

Hermione put away the things on the table, clutched the note and left the library. She didn't go far after leaving the library, walked to the window in the corridor, looked around to see if there was no one, and then threw the note away.

Out the window.

Seeing the note slowly falling in the air suddenly spontaneously combust into ashes, Hermione's heart was filled with doubts.

"What are you doing, Ike..."
