Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Snape should have told Dumbledore, and Ike clearly felt that the castle was more tightly guarded the next day.

There are many iron armors in the corridors, at the corners of the stairs, and near the abandoned classrooms that few people go to. They are holding spears and axes in their hands, motionless. When nothing happens, these iron armors are just decorations, but once needed, they will not move.

A warrior who fears life and death.

Filch became even more elusive, always appearing in some remote places and driving away the little wizards who were wandering around with bad words. Of course, in the eyes of most little wizards, Filch was just venting his anger.

own emotions.

Just like he usually does.

To be honest, Ike didn't know where to find Comrade Xiaofu at all. The bitter consequences of the plot change gave him a huge headache, and he didn't even have any reliable guesses.

But it is certain that Comrade Xiaofu's ultimate target is him, so Ike deliberately stays alone in the hope that Comrade Xiaofu will not be able to help but jump out and attack him.

It's a pity that Xiao Fu is not a violent old Fu, and he has no flaws in his IQ. He will not be fooled by such an obvious flaw.

Every night, Michael and Anthony would come to Ike's dormitory. They were always paying attention to anything unusual around them. But like Ike, they found nothing.

Ike could clearly see that Comrade Xiaofu's threat had made them a little confused. So they became more and more anxious, even affecting their normal study.

In Potions class, Ike misplaced the ingredients in the wrong order and almost caused the cauldron to explode. Snape was very angry about this. After a lot of weird tricks, he deducted 10 points from Ravenclaw.

.

That night, after Ike returned to the dormitory after his routine tour of the castle, he saw the four Stewarts sitting neatly on chairs with serious expressions.

"Ike, sit down first." Terry pointed to a chair and said.

"What's wrong?" Ike forced out a smile and looked at the four people who were still serious.

"You need to rest, Ike." Stewart advised. "In just one week, you almost blew up the cauldron in Potions class. This is not like what you have done."

"Everyone is anxious," Terry continued, "but you don't have to make yourself so tired."

"Every night, you go out while we're asleep, right?"

Seeing Ike nodded, Terry continued: "We all know that you want to catch that bad guy quickly, but you should know that this is not an easy thing."

"You don't even have a clue. You are doing useless work, Ike."

"I know, but this time is different from before. He can really..." Before Ike could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Stewart. He saw Stewart take out the speculum from his pocket and said: "It can hurt people, right?

, but you also made preparations in advance, and you gave us this looking glass."

"Unless it's bad, we're safe."

"But it didn't respond last time..." Ike said.

"His target was not us last time, Ike." Terry said, "You probably didn't bring your own speculum that day."

Ike was silent for a while and lowered his head slightly. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will pay attention to my situation. What happened in Potions class will not happen again."

"That's good." Stewart clapped his hands with a smile on his face, "Now, just rest! You need a good sleep!"

"Maybe there will be clues when I wake up?"

Ike really wanted to tell them that the quality of his sleep was actually very good, that the effect of the coma spell was extremely powerful, and that the accident in Potions class was just something he was thinking about at the time. However, after seeing these four faces that showed the slightest trace of worry,

, the words were never spoken.

After a peaceful night's sleep, no clues popped up the next day as Stewart said. It was still an ordinary day as before.

Ike relaxed the tight string in his heart a little and stopped wandering around the castle. He understood that he had made a very serious mistake.

Don’t believe in other people’s abilities…

Travelers are not omnipotent and cannot do everything well. In terms of spell level alone, Ike is indeed stronger than many seventh-grade wizards, but compared with professors like Snape and Flitwick, there are

There is a huge gap, let alone Dumbledore. The battle with Snape in the Duel Club has already made it clear.

In this world, there are so-called "children of the plane".

More than a month had passed in such a stable manner. The flowers, plants and trees in Hogwarts were lush and green, and no accidents occurred. Such stable days even gave Ike the illusion that Comrade Fu would never cause trouble again.

On the first Sunday of April, when Ike, Stuart and others came back from the auditorium, they suddenly found a piece of parchment on their bedside. When they picked it up, they found it was a course selection schedule.

"Is it already this time?" Stewart looked at his piece of parchment, "I almost forgot, we will be in third grade in the second half of the year."

"Divination class, Arithmancy class, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies, Ike, Terry, how do you choose?"

Without thinking, Ike checked the five courses one by one, and then handed the parchment to Stuart. Stuart took it and looked at it, and immediately replied in surprise: "You actually selected them all?"

"Of course." Ike nodded.

"But I heard Roger say that many of the courses here are in conflict!"

"I think the professors will solve this problem." Ike said with a smile, "Besides, it's not like no one has ever done this before."

"Okay." Stewart handed Ike's parchment back. He thought about it for a long time before checking the boxes for Divination and Muggle Studies.

"I think these two subjects are suitable for me. I heard that Divination is very easy to get, not to mention Muggle Studies. I come from a Muggle family!"

After saying that, Stewart came next to Terry and said, "Did you choose divination, ancient runes and the care of magical animals?"

Before Terry could reply, Stuart hooked up the protection of magical creatures on his parchment.

"You have chosen so many. If I have too few, wouldn't it make me look very unsociable?"

Both Ike and Terry were amused by Stuart's behavior, and they laughed for a while before stopping. Stuart didn't care, and after they had laughed enough, he asked: "Send it to Professor Flitwick now?"

?”

"Of course." Terry replied, "And aren't you curious how the professor will solve the problem of Ike's course conflict?"

The three of them left the dormitory chatting and laughing, and happened to meet Michael and others in the common room, so they simply left together.

Arriving at Professor Flitwick's office, the professor was talking to Padma and three girls. When he saw Ike and others coming in, he immediately waved and said, "Gentlemen! I guess you are also here to deliver the course selection list!"

"Come, let me see, what did you choose?"

Ike and others handed over the parchments one by one. Flitwick looked at them one by one and said: "Trelawney's divination class is the students' favorite class. Almost everyone knows it."

Choose it..."

"Arithmetic divination is also good, and there is also a class on the protection of magical animals. If you like magical animals, this class is very suitable for you..."

"Oh! Ancient runes! Very good! Although it is very difficult, it will really help your magic level a lot..."

"Muggle Studies...well...it's also pretty good..."

Professor Flitwick recorded each chosen course without any pause.

"Okay, kids, I've written it all down, you can go and enjoy a wonderful weekend!" Professor Flitwick pushed up his glasses, "Mr. Strider, please wait a moment, I need to confirm with you.

One thing.”

Shrugging at Stewart and others, Ike waved his hand and asked them to wait for him outside for a while, then stayed alone.

When only Ike and Professor Flitwick were left in the office, Professor Flitwick asked: "Mr. Strider, are you sure you want to choose all the courses?"

"Yes, Professor, I'm sure." Ike replied firmly.

"You should know that some of the courses here are in conflict..."

Ike nodded and replied: "I heard it from Senior Roger."

"Okay, I understand." Professor Flitwick smiled and recorded the results of Ike's course selection.

"Now, you can go find your friends!"
