Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Bowtruckles have a very peaceful temperament, they will never attack people, and if you have rhinoceros or other small insects, they can be easily bribed.

Bowtruckles are very loyal to their owners. Although they sometimes have a little temper, they are easy to soothe and are also useful in some aspects, such as unlocking locks.

The most important thing is that they are cute!

Taking Jimmy back to the dormitory, Stuart and Terry were very curious, but they only played with it for a while and then rested. Cute magical animals like the Bowtruckle are even more popular among the little witches.

If what Ike brought back was a dragon or a thunderbird, that would be a different matter.

There were two classes in the morning the next day: Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Professor Flitwick taught the freezing spell. This spell is said to be "freezing", but in fact it does not have the so-called "ice" effect.

It makes the target freeze and stop moving, even if the target is flying in the air.

It is a very effective control spell. Whether it can deny the target depends on the amount of magic power and the size of the target. An ordinary little wizard casting a freezing spell on Professor Flitwick may not have any effect at all. But if it is like Bowtruckle

, the effect of sniffing such a creature will be very obvious.

In class, Professor Flitwick gave everyone a beetle and asked the little wizards to try to pin down these little guys running around. This was obviously not an easy task, and the scene about the transfiguration last semester happened again.

, the wand kept waving, but it just couldn't hit these dexterous beetles, and it might accidentally hurt others.

Michael's freezing spell hit the unlucky Morty, but Professor Flitwick saved Morty with a counter-spell.

Ike was ignored. Professor Flitwick didn't give him a beetle at all, nor did he ask him to get up to answer questions when he first explained the spell.

Maybe Dumbledore revealed something to the professors. After all, there are some magic spells, and Ike's level is almost the same as the professors.

The freezing spell was not complicated, and by the end of get out of class, everyone had basically immobilized the beetle. Ike put away the "Analysis of Ancient Magic Texts" and went straight to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with the other eaglets.

Lockhart is extremely attractive to witches, and almost all witches in the grade are his admirers. In contrast, wizards are not very friendly to him.

In addition to Lockhart attracting too many witches' attention, it is also because his Defense Against the Dark Arts skills are unconvincing.

In yesterday's senior Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart asked the students to write papers as soon as the class started. They were all about questions such as Lockhart's favorite color, Lockhart's ideals, etc., more like

Fan questionnaire.

The subsequent classes were all about things in the book, mixed with a lot of praise for himself. But I have to say that Lockhart's storytelling skills were very good, and he fascinated the witches even more. There was no idol filter.

The wizards in the mirror found that this guy's level was very similar to that of previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

One bottle is not full and half the bottle is full.

In the common room last night, the senior wizard group headed by Roger took the lead in firing at the witch group headed by Penelope. Roger made it clear that Lockhart was a glamorous liar, except for showing off his appearance.

White, shiny teeth are useless.

Penello also said that Roger was jealous because Lockhart was more handsome and talented. Not only was he a best-selling author, but he was also a third-level medalist in the Order of Merlin, something that Roger would probably never be able to obtain in his lifetime.

Roger was so angry with Penelope that he carefully analyzed what Lockhart said and concluded that the whole class was just about bragging and reading his own book. From this point of view, he was no different from Quirrell last year.

After that, Roger was killed by Penelo.

"Professor Lockhart is more handsome! How does Quirrell compare with him!"

Naturally, Ike did not see this exciting duel, but according to Stewart, what Senior Penello said almost made Roger angry and vomited blood. Senior Roger's face turned dark at that time, and after hesitating for a long time, he shouted

Went back to the dormitory.

"Ike, are you right, Senior Penello or Senior Roger?" Sitting in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Terry asked aloud, "I really hope we have a reliable one.

I heard that the previous five or six Defense Against the Dark Arts professors had no real skills, and one of them was even an alcoholic, and was entangled to death in a devil's net when he was drunk."

"I don't know." Ike shook his head, "But I think he is at least more reliable than Chilo, and at least some of the contents in his books are very enlightening."

"Aren't those just novels?" Stewart came over and looked at Ike doubtfully.

"There is a very interesting description in "Breaking with the Female Ghost":... Under the moonlight, she sang in a low voice. It was a tune I had never heard before, like an aria. I actually saw it on her face.

I feel a little moved and nostalgic..."

"...I listened quietly and felt like I was wrapped in soft velvet. It was a whole-body feeling of comfort..."

"...Unfortunately, a cloud soon covered the moonlight, and she became dull again..."

Stewart looked confused and asked in surprise: "You actually memorized it? Oh my god!"

"Don't you think the content of this paragraph is interesting?" Ike asked, "Female ghosts are different from ghosts. They don't have the ability to communicate with the outside world like ghosts, and they don't have memories of their lives. Most of the time, female ghosts are dull.

Yes, it will emit piercing, fainting screams without any pattern."

"But this book actually says that the female ghost has an expression and can sing beautiful tunes!" Ike paused, and the look in his eyes made Stewart unconsciously get goosebumps. "Do you know what this means? This

It means that our current understanding of female ghosts is probably wrong! They may recover some memories of their lives under certain conditions, and may even become ghosts!"

"Maybe I made it up," Terry said.

"It's possible, but maybe it's true." Ike's eyes were glaring, "There are a lot of things like this in his books. Some of them, like the female ghost part, seem unbelievable, but some of them are real, such as

"Wandering with Werewolves" talks about the transformation of werewolves. After transformation, they still retain their basic concepts of good and evil. This is true."

"Of course, I am more interested in some of the magic spells in it, such as the magic spell used to expel the female ghost Wan Lun at the end of "Breaking with the Female Ghost". That may be a new magic spell!"

"New curse? Invented by Lockhart?" Stewart was very surprised.

"It's very possible." Ike nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course this is my guess. I'll find out if I have a chance to ask in the future."

"Well, I hope you succeed." Stuart and Terry felt that Ike had changed. He was no longer the smart and wise Ravenclaw outstanding wizard in the impression, and he was also attracted by Loha like Senior Penello and the others.

Very brainwashed.

But there was nothing they could do about it. One year of contact made Stewart and the others know exactly what kind of person Ike was, and they would basically not waver in his decisions.

"Merlin bless you! May Ike be able to see Lockhart's true face as soon as possible!" Stewart, a loyal follower of Roger, prayed silently.

The same experience last year showed that once Ike gets serious about something, it often becomes very troublesome and affects the beautiful daily life of him and Terry.

"We are wise Ravenclaws, not those reckless lions!"
