Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The private collection was stolen, and Snape was really furious for more than a week. It was not until the Christmas holidays that he ended his crazy deduction of points from Gryffindor.

The little lions are used to it. In the past, Snape would target Gryffindor, but when Harry entered school, he became even more aggressive. This wave of points deductions seemed to the little lions more like a surprise deduction before the holidays.

points to ensure that Slytherin maintains the half-time lead over Gryffindor in house points.

Even if they only consolidated their second-to-last position, as long as they suppressed those stupid lions, the little snakes would be happy enough to maintain happiness throughout the entire holiday.

On December 19, there were not many people in Hogwarts Castle.

When Ike woke up from the empty dormitory in the morning, he was still a little uncomfortable. For a year and a half, he had become accustomed to Stuart's wake-up call every morning, and Terry's routine "Good morning", and then the three of them

After making a fuss, they met Michael and Anthony in the dormitory next door and headed to the auditorium to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

After walking through the equally empty common room to the auditorium, and Qiu nodded to each other, Ike casually opened "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Magic Texts" and took a sip of hot milk while reading it, then forked a piece of waffle, and then

Put your attention into the book.

The more I read this book, the more Ike felt that my understanding of the ancient magic text was too superficial, and the application of it was too rigid and rough. After reviewing it for the third time, I had already understood the magic that almost killed Comrade Xiao Fu.

Lots of new inspiration.

Ike believes that if there is another chance next time, he will definitely not give Comrade Xiao Fu a chance to escape.

During this Christmas vacation, in addition to continuing to study ancient magic texts, Ike also plans to renovate the traceless stretching spell box he bought at a large price, and try to make a smaller one that is more convenient to carry around.

Such as a pocket watch or a ring.

As a former bookworm, Ike is very greedy for things like space equipment. The ring is the inspiration of the fantasy novel, and the pocket watch is the equipment of the protagonist of the novel.

Of course, with Ike's current level of alchemy and traceless stretch spells, these are still a bit far away for him, but the box is quite reliable.

Returning to the dormitory after breakfast, Ike poured out everything in the box and got directly into it. The three cubic meters of space was just enough for Ike to stand up straight and move his hands and feet a little.

Taking out his wand and pointing it at a wall, Ike accurately released the Traceless Stretching Spell, and saw that the wall slowly retreated under the power of magic, retreating about seventy centimeters before stopping.

Ike kept casting spells on the surrounding walls, and the space in the box grew larger and larger until it was as big as a house.

Then he quickly walked to the wall, used the wand as a pen, and wrote ancient magic words on the wall that glowed with soft white light.

Steady, solid, and dust-free, each ancient magic text was written on the wall, and then quickly disappeared. After all four walls were filled, Ike moved his left hand slightly, and his body lay horizontally floating in the air. With the wave of the wand in his right hand,

A complex magic circle gradually emerged. When the magic circle merged into the ceiling above his head, Ike drew another magic circle on the ground.

After painting the last stroke, the entire space seemed to have a ripple-like soft light passing through it, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ike nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why the Invisible Stretch Charm is prohibited from being abused by the Ministry of Magic is not only that it can easily increase the risk of wizards being exposed, but also because this spell is not stable.

Many wizards are keen on using the Seamless Stretching Spell to transform their bags and boxes, but they all ignore the upper limit and time limit of the spell. There are often situations where wizards' handbags suddenly explode while shopping, and all kinds of things are scattered all over the floor.

.If it is fine in the wizarding world, it will cause a big commotion in the Muggle world.

In order to avoid this, the Ministry of Magic prohibits private use of the Invisible Stretch Spell to create space items, and the formal sales are limited to suitcases and family tents.

Of course, many wizards don't care about this rule of the Ministry of Magic. In fact, as long as they are not discovered, no one will go out of their way to check.

Ike found the method to solidify the Invisible Stretching Spell in the Forbidden Book Zone, which was the ancient magic words written on the wall. They could stabilize the spell that would have gradually become ineffective over time. As for those two

The magic circle is something from the Ravenclaw manuscript. It has the same function, but is more reliable. It can even allow people to cast magic without causing the Invisible Stretch Spell to collapse.

For example, casting a shrinking spell on a conventional Traceless Stretch Spell item may cause the Traceless Stretch Spell to collapse. With these two magic circles, this will not happen even if it is reduced to the size of gravel.

He used a levitating spell to float out of the box and put the things back. Ike used a shrinking spell to shrink the box to a size that could fit in his pocket, and then went straight to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

After silently reciting "I need a place to hide things" three times, Ike pushed open the door that appeared on the wall and dove into the huge pile of debris.

There are piles of items discarded by students at Hogwarts over hundreds of years, enough to meet Ike's needs. Although most of them are damaged to varying degrees, they can be used normally as long as they are repaired.

Ike moved the sofas, ladders, tables, cabinets, and various decorations into the boxes one by one and placed them in the expected locations. It took him a long time to finish.

At this time, the appearance of the box had completely changed. It was no longer empty, but more like a well-decorated house.

Entering the box and going down the stairs, you are stepping on a worn-out Ravenclaw carpet with one leg missing. A long sofa is placed next to it. The sofa originally had three legs, but Ike used the cutting spell to

It was cut off, so it looks a little short, but it doesn't hinder its use.

In front of the sofa is a coffee table, with some broken alchemy toys on it. About one meter inside are several tall cabinets, which contain books bought and scrounged from the Room of Requirement. The cabinets are neatly arranged.

They were in a row and were used as partition walls by Ike.

Inside, Ike used the same method to separate a bedroom, a potion room and an alchemy laboratory. The layout is like the word "field", which is a bit ugly, but it is enough.

Ike also placed many magic lamps on the wall and on the table. They are all easy to use. You only need to cast a lighting spell on the lamp, and they can stay bright for a long time. This was found from a broken cabinet.

, also found were many dirty glass bottles, just used to hold the brewed potions.

The matter of a cleaning spell is not troublesome.

Next, as long as Ike goes to Diagon Alley to buy all the materials during the holidays, the potions room and alchemy laboratory can be officially used.

Of course, Ike can also choose to pick up the wool of Professor Snape and Professor Sprout and raid their private collections.

Fortunately for Professor Sprout, he only needs to sneak around the greenhouse at night. With the title of "Walking Plant", Ike can easily get what he wants without attracting Professor Sprout's attention.

But Snape's private collection is a little more troublesome.
