Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Carrying the box containing the small cake, Ike slowly walked towards the direction of Ravenclaw Tower.

He turned to Stewart casually, turned around and left the common room.

Standing in front of the portrait of the troll beating Barnabas silly, Ike closed his eyes slightly.

.............

"A smart little wizard like you should have noticed that magic will have a certain influence on wizards." Professor Flitwick said slowly at the desk, "This influence is subtle, but if you master it,

A magic spell's silent and weaponless casting skills, usually everyone will notice this..."

"In fact, black magic will be more obvious. Dark wizards are mostly cruel, evil, and twisted. They are just affected by black magic..."

"So, I am very happy that you have slowed down the pace of learning spells. To be honest, I was worried for a while last semester, but you can come out of it, which shows that your talent is really good..."

Professor Flitwick paused for a moment, took a sip of lemon tea, and then continued: "The gap in magic is still very serious. Many documents mention the power of ancient wizards, but only in the documents...

"

"I noticed that you are reading ancient magic texts? This is very good. It is the medium through which we communicate with ancient magic..."

"Maybe I can give you a suggestion, use magic to learn it..."

........

"Magic?" Ike opened his eyes, but there was no door on the wall in front of him.

He frowned and closed his eyes again.

............

"Hogwarts is a very magical place, I believe you have realized this." Professor Flitwick smiled kindly, "Of course, I am talking about the castle itself, which has too many secrets...

…”

"You should have read "Hogwarts: A School History", which mentioned that this was once the castle of Slytherin himself. After the Big Four decided to establish a magic school, they made many changes to it, such as

Those moving stairs are the masterpiece of Ms. Ravenclaw..."

"There are many similar transformations. I dare say that even the principal doesn't know all the secrets..."

"So, professor, can you tell me some secrets of the castle?" Ike asked directly.

Professor Flitwick blinked and replied mysteriously: "You need to find the secret yourself, but I can tell you a small clue."

"Legend has it that there is a magical room in the castle that can satisfy all the needs of the person who discovers it..."

"And in that room, there is a gift from Ms. Ravenclaw..."

............

Ike opened his eyes again, and there was still no sign of a door on the wall.

"According to Professor Flitwick, it should be the Room of Requirement." Ike muttered in a low voice, and Ike's brain was working rapidly, guessing the possible correct answer.

The room where Lady Ravenclaw's manuscripts are stored, this option is eliminated, and Ravenclaw's study has no response.

I tried seven or eight settings in the fanfics I had read before, but it still didn't work.

Ike was a little discouraged. There were too many ambiguous answers. If he tried them one by one, he didn't know how long it would take.

"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind..." murmuring this Ravenclaw famous saying, Ike suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the mural.

"No, no!"

Ike remembered that he once wrote in a miscellaneous book in the library that in ancient times there was a nervous wizard named Silly Barnabas. He was very smart, but he always did things that people couldn't understand. And

The most famous one is that he once tried to teach a troll to dance ballet.

Of course, the result was not good. Silly Barnabas was beaten by a troll.

This mural has been here for more than a thousand years, and the silly Barnabas in the painting has been beaten by a giant monster for more than a thousand years. It was this that made Ike realize that something was wrong.

The paintings in the magical world can move. In the murals, the six trolls all have their own movements. The four in the back are dancing, and the two in the front are beating silly Barnabas with sticks.

But silly Barnabas never moved!

He has been maintaining the same movement, which is extremely abnormal from the perspective of magic painting.

After knocking on the mural, all the trolls stopped and looked at Ike before continuing their actions. Silly Barnabas still had no reaction.

"Is this the key?"

Keeping an eye on silly Barnabas, Ike tried hard to find possible clues.

Suddenly, Ike thought of the pear in the Hogwarts kitchen, and inexplicably scratched the armpit of silly Barnabas who raised his right hand. After a few times, silly Barnabas shrank his right arm, and was

The troll hit him on the head and knocked the hat off his head.

Silly Barnabas squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and dropped his hat. Ike moved forward and saw a line of text written on the brim of the hat:

"Magic is immortal, magic is immortal."

?

Ike felt a little confused and couldn't figure out what he meant. Then he saw silly Barnabas picking up his hat and putting it back on his head, pointing behind Ike, and then returned to his previous posture without moving.

.

Turning around, I saw an exquisite silver door that had appeared on the wall at some point. Ike felt happy and took a few steps to push it open. His eyes lit up.

This is a very exquisite room. The walls are covered with silver decorations and blue ribbons. A mahogany desk is in the middle, with several thick stacks of parchment neatly placed on it.

Ike walked to the desk and saw a line of text written on the top piece of parchment:

"For those who come after you - magic is immortal, magic is immortal"

The signature below identifies the owner of these parchments - Rowena Ravenclaw.
