Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"Ike, don't worry, we will protect your safety."

Professor Flitwick stood up and patted Ike on the shoulder, comforting him. Although he knew that his student was strong and smart, he felt that at this moment, Ike needed a little comfort from his teacher.

.

"Sorry, Filius." Dumbledore sighed softly, "It's cruel to say that. As I mentioned before, we can't give Mr. Strider much help."

"Albus! Oh my God!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, she was surprised that Dumbledore would say that, "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head, "The life and death contract is a very strange magic. From the moment the magic takes effect, both parties can only rely on themselves. Anyone who helps one of the parties will affect the final result."

"It's like there is an unknown being acting as a referee. Everything you do will add a weight to your side of the scale. Every help from others will decrease a little."

"If Mr. Strider relies on our help to get rid of the spell caster, I'm afraid that even if he wins, he will die because of too few weights."

"As far as I know, this will happen."

Ike remained silent until Dumbledore finished speaking before he raised his head, his eyes firm.

"Professor, don't worry about me, I will deal with him..." He looked back at Roger, who was lying motionless on the bed.

"As soon as possible...as much as I can..."

Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout all looked at Ike with worried eyes, while Snape still looked cold. A smile appeared on the corner of Dumbledore's mouth and he pushed his nose.

He put on his glasses and said, "Well, Mr. Strider, we can only wish you success."

Ike nodded, looked at Roger again, turned around and walked towards the door.

"By the way..." As soon as I walked to the door, Ike heard Dumbledore's exaggerated voice coming from behind him, "I almost forgot..."

"If you obtain some magical props or magical creatures from others through your own efforts, it does not count as help from others."

"As I get older, my memory is really bad..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ike's figure had disappeared.

After leaving the campus hospital, Ike went straight back to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Stewart and others who were full of worry.

"How's it going? Ike." Stewart asked immediately when he saw Ike come in.

"I can't reveal too much." Ike shook his head, "All in all, things are very troublesome."

"In the next period of time, our training will stop. The four of you must act together. No matter what you do, don't do it alone."

"What about you?" Terry asked.

"I have something important to do." Ike sat on the chair and sighed, "But I can only do it alone."

"He is here for me. As long as you don't leave alone, I don't think there will be any danger."

"But what should you do?"

"Don't worry about me." Ike smiled, "As long as I can find the attacker, I will easily kill him!"

"Although it's inappropriate to say this, I can't guarantee your safety when I'm with you."

The faces of the four Stewarts were a little ugly, as if they were complaining that they were not strong enough to help Ike. It also seemed that Ike's words were too straightforward and hurt them.

Ike looked at the four people and took everything into account. But there was no way, what he said was also true.

Comrade Xiaofu is in the dark this time. Who knows when he will swing an Avatar from the corner again?

What if Ike doesn't react this time?

People always relax, and Ike can't guarantee that following the Stewarts and the four will always protect them, just like he can't guarantee that they won't be attacked if he acts alone.

But in the end, the probability is much smaller.

What's more, there are professors.

"Believe me, as long as everyone gets together, there will be no danger. Try to follow the crowd, never, never, never be alone..."

This Easter holiday was destined to be uneventful. When Ike woke up the next morning, Stuart and Terry were still up.

Instead of waking them up as before, Ike simply washed up and left the dormitory.

After sitting in the auditorium for a while, the four Stewarts came in together. As he said last night, they even called Padma, Morag and Morty.

There were seven people there, but none of them looked energetic.

Obviously, in the morning Stuart and the others told the ladies what Ike said last night.

Maybe in an hour or two, the whole of Hogwarts will know.

In fact, the little wizards have no independent opinions and are not very courageous. Even the Gryffindors will subconsciously gather together after most people have gathered together. Even if there are some loners, there are only a few here and there.

, it will not affect anything.

As long as he is familiar with Ike and has a good relationship with him, his goal will be achieved.

After waving their hands, a few people ran to the seats next to them and sat down. As soon as they sat down, Stewart whispered about the various rumors he had heard this morning.

There are all kinds of versions, some Death Eater sneaked into the school, the Dark Lord ran in, the heir to the Chamber of Secrets took action again, etc. Every story is well-written, and it sounds like it is true at first glance.

.

After a while, breakfast started. As soon as the little wizards took a few bites, hundreds of owls rushed in, hovered on the ceiling, and dropped letters and newspapers.

A letter happened to fall in front of Terry. When he opened it, Terry's expression changed.

"My parents already know..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Morag, who had received the latest "Daily Prophet", let out an exclamation, hurriedly spread the newspaper on the table, pointed to the cover article and said: "Look here! It says the school will be closed!"

"This is impossible!" Stewart was shocked. He took it over and looked at it again. Then he looked at Morag with resentful eyes and said, "Morag, you are wrong. It only says it is possible."

"Maybe! It's not a sure thing!"

"The school will not be closed." Ike came up and looked at it once, and then said calmly, "Dumbledore will not let the school be closed."

"Of course, we don't rule out the Ministry of Magic taking some action. After all, three students have been attacked. This is a big deal."

The Great Hall was completely blown away. After reading the letters and newspapers, the little wizards shouted loudly and screamed piercingly. Ike even heard crying coming from the Hufflepuff table next to him.

"Quiet!"

Just when everyone was in chaos, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in front of the professor's chair, and just said a word to silence the noisy auditorium.

"I think everyone knows what happened last night..." The professors appeared in their seats one by one. Dumbledore was still standing, scanning the auditorium with his eyes, and said calmly, "...Indeed, Mr. Davis yesterday

We were attacked late."

"However, Hogwarts will not suspend classes or close the school!"

"I assure you that Hogwarts is still safe and will protect every student!"

"Of course, in extraordinary times, I would like to emphasize a few things to prevent attacks from happening again:"

"First of all, no one is allowed to enter all the abandoned classrooms in the castle. Don't act alone, stay with your friends."

"Secondly, no one is allowed to leave the castle until the Easter holidays are over, unless you get a letter of approval from the dean!"

"Again, no one is allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest..." Dumbledore glanced at the twins with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Night travel is prohibited. After the curfew, I hope you will all lie on the bed in the dormitory..."

"at last……"

"Quidditch matches are suspended indefinitely until we find the culprit."
