Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 55: The Research of Ravenclaw

Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry roughly around 990 AD.

At that time, Europe was in the dark Middle Ages, and the witch-hunting movement was in full swing. A large number of witches were persecuted, and most of them were young witches who could not control their magic power.

The establishment of Hogwarts, in addition to protecting these little wizards, also had the intention of passing on magic. In the era of the Four Giants, the inheritance of magic was mainly through master-to-teacher methods, which was not large-scale. In the general environment at that time, in addition to the large-scale

Outside the family, ordinary wizards rarely communicate with each other, which results in a lot of magic being lost.

After Rowena Ravenclaw was founded at Hogwarts, she has been committed to collecting lost magic and trying to restore the greatness of ancient magic. But unfortunately, when she started this work, Europe was already in turmoil.

Over four to five hundred years, a large number of magic books and documents were burned, and clues could only be found in piles of old papers.

After Slytherin left Hogwarts, she also chose to leave and travel. After exploring countless ruins and visiting countless reclusive wizards, when Ravenclaw finally returned to Hogwarts

, she wrote these manuscript records and has kept them in this room.

Waiting quietly.

Looking through these manuscripts, Ike felt for the first time that his "knowledge mastery" skill was not strong enough, and he could not understand many contents at all.

For example, the manuscript mentions a magic that can change the celestial phenomena. Its spells are ancient magic texts that need to be read correctly. However, these magic texts cannot be found in the "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Magic Texts".

In order to fully learn what was written in the manuscript, Ike felt that he might have to go through the Ravenclaw research route again.

Only by doing it step by step is possible.

From the eleventh century to the present, Europe's magic inheritance has experienced several crises of severance. With the signing of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, coupled with the self-isolation and demise of pure-blood nobles, modern magic is basically built on the ruins.

What Ike has to do is to restore those ruins to their original appearance, which is incredibly difficult to imagine.

"I have to make new plans, I'm too busy..."

Ike put down the manuscript, opened the door and left the secret room.

I don’t know how long I stayed in there, but it was already dark when I came out. When Ike came to the auditorium, dinner had already started for some time.

"Ike! There are lamb chops today!" Stewart's voice sounded, and Ike smiled at the right time, said hello and sat aside.

Terry took a piece of roasted golden lamb steak and put it on the plate in front of Ike. Ike thanked him and took a bite. It was very plump.

"Where have you been? I haven't seen anyone all afternoon." Stewart asked.

"Where else can he go? The library." Terry replied casually while cutting his steak.

"No! It's just the beginning of school, Ike! You're going to put a lot of pressure on us." Michael joked with a smile.

"What kind of pressure can there be?" Ike put down the lamb chops, poured himself a glass of pumpkin juice and took a sip, "No matter how hard you try, you can't surpass me."

"It's easy for you to have no friends like this, Ike." Stewart was choked and looked at Ike with an unkind expression.

"What? I still have friends!" Ike looked surprised, his eyes widened, and he looked at Stewart in surprise. This look made everyone laugh.

In this way, they ate while joking with each other, and it wasn't until almost eight o'clock that Ike finished eating. After playing around, he returned to the common room, sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, until he felt sleepy, and then returned to the dormitory.

For more than a week after that, Ikko and Stewart and others went in and out together, like a normal little wizard in Hogwarts, dormitories, classrooms, auditoriums, classrooms, dormitories, three o'clock and one line, and even the library.

Rarely go.

But on the first night of October, after Stuart and Terry fell asleep, Ike cast a disillusionment spell on himself and quietly left the dormitory.

For more than half a month, Ike has been quietly revising his plan. According to his previous plan, he did not plan to go out at night too frequently this school year.

Until the threat of the basilisk is eliminated, night travel is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Who knows if the big guy in the secret room will sneak out on his own, especially now that it is likely to have been awakened.

But after reading those Ravenclaw manuscripts, Ike felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

It seems like there is not enough time and everything has to be rushed forward.

Maybe it's the curse of knowledge? After seeing those wonderful studies, it was difficult for Ike to suppress his strong desire for knowledge.

From this point of view, the Sorting Hat did nothing wrong, he is indeed a Ravenclaw.

Sneaking into the forbidden book area quietly, Ike first took away "Forbidden Magic", which contains the traceless stretch spell and the practice method of phantom migration. After putting the book away, Ike went straight to the language bookshelf, from top to bottom

I immediately picked up four copies.

"Wizard Language", "Humanoid Language", "Communication with Magical Animals" and "Magic Language", these are the purposes of Ike's trip!

Until now, Ike has not paid much attention to ancient magic texts. Although he often reads related books, they are mostly read as extracurricular readings. However, the Ravenclaw manuscript clearly states the importance of ancient magic texts.

, that is the only way to recreate the greatness of ancient magic.

However, it is very difficult to learn ancient magic texts, especially many of Ravenclaw's manuscripts are not included in modern textbooks, making it difficult to decipher them. Fortunately, Ike found another way.

Learn the language of magical creatures!

Unlike wizards, magical creatures are born with the ability to use magic. There is even a saying now that the original magic originated from those magical creatures. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the language of magical creatures is indeed magical.

.

For example, mermaids, the mermaid tribes deep in the ocean, still inherit an ancient mermaid language, which can cause tsunamis and storms. This magical language is difficult to pronounce, but in some pronunciations it is similar to the ancient magic language.

The text is very similar.

Similar to it are the language of snakes and dragons. Parselmouth has always been considered evil not only because of its creepy pronunciation, but also because it can indeed be used as a spell to induce magic.

Although Parseltongue relies more on the inheritance of blood, it can also be learned by people. In Ike's impression, in the final battle, Ron once used Parseltongue to open the door to the secret room. Even if it was just a sentence

"Open" is enough proof.

Learning the language of snakes was placed second in his plan by Ike after learning the Traceless Stretching Spell.

It's all just because of a spell in the Ravenclaw manuscript that originated from Slytherin, and it needs to be driven by Parseltongue.

And its function is perception.
