Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"It's so nostalgic..."

Ike squatted aside, watching Professor Snape busy dismembering the basilisk, and the Sorting Hat on his head suddenly let out a sigh of praise.

"What do you miss?" Ike looked a little bored and a little lost.

I originally wanted to secretly hide a basilisk fang, but under the watchful eyes of the four professors, there was no way I could do it.

With Snape's character, even a basilisk scale would not be left to Ike.

What's more, just after Professor McGonagall completed the feat of slaying the snake, the Sword of Gryffindor disappeared. Ike tried several times to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat, but only received a lot of ridicule from the Sorting Hat.

"I miss the way little Minerva wielded the Sword of Gryffindor!" The Sorting Hat moved, as if very excited, "God knows how long I have been waiting for this day! It has been so many years, and there is no one except Minerva.

No one has ever drawn this sword."

"Really not?"

"No." The Sorting Hat sighed, "This is an enchanted sword. Only a true Gryffindor can pull out the Sword of Gryffindor when needed."

"Obviously, no young Gryffindor wizard since Minerva has possessed the spirit of Gryffindor."

Ike didn't have much reaction. He wanted to tell the chattering hat that if it weren't for him, a little wizard would pull out the Sword of Gryffindor this year, and there would be more in the future.

His current thoughts were on how to extract some basilisk parts from Snape's hand. At least one tooth was needed. It was very simple and quick to poke the Horcrux accurately.

"Ike..." Professor Flitwick came over, and Ike quickly stood up with the sorting hat on his head and returned the salute.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand, pulled Ike a little further away, and said, "Don't be too nervous, I just want to chat with you..."

"Speaking of which, you should have found that gift..."

"Yes, Professor." Ike replied softly, "I found it, but the things in it are so profound that I can only understand a very small part of it."

"It's pretty good. At least I don't have the ability you have at your age." Professor Flitwick smiled and pushed up the glasses on his nose, "Ancient magic, the magic of the era of the Four Giants, and the magic we use now

The magic is actually three different kinds of magic. You find it difficult, but you just haven’t found the right method..."

"How is your ancient magic text? I often see you holding the "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Magic Texts" in your arms."

"It should be okay..." Ike replied with a hint of frustration. He was not pretending. Until now, the skills of ancient magic texts have not been displayed on the Waste Notepad system. Obviously, according to the system's standards, Ike is not good at it.

The understanding of ancient magic texts is not deep enough.

But according to the comparison between himself and senior students, there is actually not much difference, and it is even slightly better in application.

Otherwise, Ike would not be able to create the combined magic of the magic circle and the ancient magic text.

"I probably understand." Flitwick looked at Ike, thought for a moment and said, "Ike, you have to know that ancient magic script is actually a language, and the most important thing about learning a new language is...

…”

"Speak more, write more? But professor, ancient magic texts can cause magical reactions."

"Indeed." Professor Flitwick said, "So I think the most important thing you should do now is not to continue learning new magic, but to try to forget magic."

"Forgot magic?" Ike was a little confused. He felt that Professor Flitwick was playing matryoshka dolls with him.

"That's right! I noticed that even in normal times, you are used to using magic to solve problems. This creates a problem. You can only release it, but not collect it..."

"Frequent use of magic can indeed improve the wizard's control over magic and magic, but it can also cause dependence on magic..."

"Professor, I don't quite understand. Is this a bad thing?" Ike was completely confused and asked quickly.

"Of course it's not a bad thing." Flitwick scratched his head, organized his words a little, and then replied, "You can try to understand it this way..."

"A wizard is a container, and magic is the water inside. When we release magic, we open a small opening in the container so that the water inside can flow out. A magic is a small opening. The more magic you have, the more magic you have.

The more openings there will be.”

"Your current situation is that you can open that specific small opening without thinking, but you cannot actively close it and let the water come out from the other opening."

Professor Flitwick stood a little further away and said to Ike: "You can give it a try and use the lighting spell now, but the spell I ask you to recite is the floating spell."

"Are these two of your best spells?"

"Come on, try it!"

Ike held the wand and followed Flitwick's request, shouting: "Wingardim Leviosa!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Flitwick stood up.

After casually dispelling this little magic, Professor Flitwick said with a smile: "You see the problem, Ike."

"Yes, Professor." Ike nodded slightly and frowned.

This result was beyond his expectation. The floating spell and the lighting spell were the first spells that Ekko used to reach level 6. After such a long time, Ekko has used them in various ways.

I originally thought that I could easily fulfill Professor Flitwick's request, but the moment I chanted the curse, the flow of magic power in my body suddenly changed!

"You can practice according to this method and increase the difficulty little by little. In addition to being good for your magic control, it can also confuse your opponents in battle."

"Think about it, when the magic spell you recite is an explosion spell, but the real magic released is a fire spell, will it make your opponent confused?"

He nodded subconsciously. Although he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find it for a while.

"Okay, Professor, I will practice." Ike decided to agree first. This practice method is indeed useful.

After the training session, when facing Comrade Xiaofu again, he can recite the incantation of the Fierce Fire Curse, but it is Avatar who is released.

It will definitely catch him off guard!

"This is not an easy thing, especially for you. You have regarded some magic spells as instincts, and it is quite troublesome to control them again."

"I will do it, Professor." Ike smiled brightly, and Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while, and Professor Snape on the other side finally finished dealing with the basilisk, even the snake blood on the ground was cleaned up.

Ike even squatted down and searched carefully, but there was no trace of the basilisk except for gravel.

"Okay, we should go back." Professor McGonagall took the Sorting Hat from Ike's head and carried it in his hand. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already very late, so he immediately asked everyone to leave.

"It's really time to go back." Snape agreed casually, and Ike couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Of course you have to go back quickly so you can put the basilisk in your private collection."

Empty it sooner or later!
