Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Professor Binns is definitely different from other ghosts.

Generally speaking, once you become a ghost, you will naturally lose your ability to cast spells, but Professor Binns obviously still retains the magic of hypnosis and awakening. As soon as he opens his mouth, the students in the classroom will naturally fall asleep, and once get out of class is over, they will naturally fall asleep again. Wake up.

Stuart stretched and thought to himself that this History of Magic class was indeed as good as the seniors said, and it was very easy to sleep. It was just that he was not well prepared for the first time. It would be better if he secretly brought a pillow next time.

Terry and Terry, who had also just woken up, yawned together and asked Ike to go back to the common room to play. Ike shook his head and put the textbook in Stuart's arms. The two thick "History of Magic" were very heavy.

, Stewart didn't pay attention and almost didn't hug him.

"I'm going to the library. Please help me get the books back first."

"Why don't you work so hard, Ike?" Stewart wailed, "This is just the first day of school!"

"I just went to see what books the library has." Ike shrugged, "I'll see you later."

Saying goodbye to his roommates, Ike went directly to the library.

The library of Hogwarts is worthy of the name of the largest and only magic school in the UK. The first thing that comes into view is thousands of bookshelves and hundreds of narrow passages. There are long tables at regular intervals in the passages. Long tables

There are chairs on both sides for the little wizards to use.

Tens of thousands of books are neatly placed on the bookshelves. The innermost part is separated by iron railings, which are enchanted. The only entrance is next to the desk of the librarian, Mrs. Irma Pince. If there is no professor's

By the way, no one can sneak into the forbidden book area under Mrs. Pince's nose during the opening hours.

On the first day of school, there were many students in the library, most of whom were in fifth grade or above and were facing OLS and NEWTS exams. Especially fifth graders had to face the double pressure of schoolwork and pressure.

Ike glanced briefly and then turned back. After searching in the bookshelf according to the index for a while, he finally found a nearly complete version of "Standard Spells".

After Miranda Gorshak created "Standard Spells", it became a common textbook for spells courses in the three major magic schools in Europe. However, the whole book is too thick, and it also involves some black magic content. After the International Wizard

After discussion by the Federation, it was divided into five books from elementary to fifth level, and the black magic part was deleted.

Hogwarts naturally has a complete collection of "Standard Spells", but in the restricted book section, all Ike could find was a collection of "Standard Spells" from grades one to five.

But this is enough.

"Standard Spells: Elementary" does not involve attack spells, but daily spells such as floating spells and lighting spells. Ike knows very well that he can relax a little in the first year in the same grade as the savior, but from the second year

You will face the threat of basilisk attacks at the beginning of grade, and even dementors in third grade.

All things considered, this whole semester is the only one that is stable.

What's more, who knows how chaotic the plot will be in the future because of Ike's existence.

Before learning the Disguise Charm and being able to sneak into the forbidden book area secretly, this "Standard Spell" was Ike's only source of learning spells.

Ike went through the petrification spell, the coma spell, the disarming spell, and the crushing spell. Basically, all the common spells in his memory could be found there, but there was no Disillusionment Curse.

But it's enough for now.

Taking "Standard Spells" and walking to Mrs. Pince's desk, Ike gently put the book on the table and said softly: "Mrs. Pince, I want to borrow this book."

Mrs. Pince pushed up her glasses, glanced at Ike, and then at the "Standard Spells" on the table. While filling out the book borrowing form, she said: "As a first-year freshman, I think you need to know how to borrow books.

rule."

"If you scratch, tear, dent, soil, damage, throw, drop or otherwise damage, abuse or desecrate this book in any way, I will subject you to the most dire consequences within my power."

"Trust me, you don't want to know what you're going to face."

Mrs. Pince made a copy of the library slip, sandwiched the original copy on the first page of "Standard Spells", and handed it to Ike.

"There is a time limit for borrowing books. I hope to see this book in perfect condition in front of me in two weeks."

"As you wish, Mrs. Pince."

Ike nodded slightly and replied softly.

After leaving the library, Ike went straight to the auditorium. Dinner at Hogwarts started at seven o'clock, and it was already a quarter past seven.

Dinner was a little better than lunch, with a few more stews and plenty of fried chicken.

As soon as Ike entered the auditorium, he saw a red-haired lion cub performing the stunt of shooting left and right with a chicken leg in one hand. He glanced at it subconsciously, and then he came to the Ravenclaw table, where he still had meatballs and spaghetti.

Pan-fried veal with a cup of rich pumpkin juice.

It is impossible to try the stew, it looks worse than the Northeastern stew!

After dinner, the other four eaglets arrived belatedly. Ike greeted a few people and returned to the common room, sat down on a small sofa in the corner, and put on the "ear plugs to listen"

, sinking your mind into the "Standard Spell".

I didn't notice when Stewart and others came back. When Ike came to his senses, he was the only one left in the common room.

Closing the book, Ike quietly pushed open the bedroom door. Stuart and Terry were already asleep.

After casting a silent spell, Ike raised his hand and let the book fly to the desk. He changed into his pajamas and quickly got into bed, but he was still thinking about the contents of "Standard Spell" in his mind.

The role of mastering knowledge is greater than imagined. Even if the spells in "Standard Spells" are a little more complicated and profound, Ike still doesn't stump him. After one afternoon and one night of study, Ike has almost memorized what is written in it.

The spell is cast, and the rest is used successfully.

Only when a spell is successfully cast will the spell level be displayed on Ike's notepad system.

Of course, this depends on finding an opportunity, and it's not time to use the Room of Requirement yet.

Until you find and learn the Disguise Charm, you should still act with caution.

After waking up, Ike, Stuart, and Terry went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, the new students from Ravenclaw and Slytherin became the first among all the new students to experience Quirina up close.

The person with the pungent and unpleasant smell on S. Chilo's body.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was not big, and it was sealed tightly by Quirrell. The smell inside could not escape, which increased its lethality. As soon as Ike entered the door, he couldn't help but sneeze.

It turns out that not only yawning but also sneezing can be contagious.

As soon as Ike finished, Stewart sneezed next to him, followed by the Slytherin snake who had been enduring it for a while, and Clark and Goyle couldn't stop at all.

There was a lot of ups and downs next, and Quirrell on the podium clearly showed a hint of embarrassment.

This is a disaster. Merlin once said that people cannot perfectly control their body's subconscious reactions, and neither can wizards.

After sneezing and inhaling subconsciously, the strange smell seemed to go straight to my brain, making me dizzy for a while.

"Whirlwind sweeps away!"

Perhaps it was the reaction of the little wizards that stimulated Quirrell. Quirrell took out his wand and cleaned the air in the classroom. It was indeed much better, at least no one sneezed anymore.

"I am...Query...Linus Quirrell, you...your...Professor of Defense against Dark Arts, now please...please open...open the textbook, open...start class

.”

Ike opened the textbook to the first chapter, about common dark creatures and defense methods. Although Ike, who had read the entire book during the holidays, could not memorize it from beginning to end, he still knew the general content.

If we follow the normal teaching process, we should talk about a dark creature and explain its defense methods, with several theoretical lessons mixed with a practical lesson. Unfortunately, since a certain being who cannot be named failed to apply for a job,

The level of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors varies widely. They can be roughly divided into those with some ability, bastards, and trash who are worse than bastards.

Quirrell originally belonged to the group with some ability, but now he has become a bastard because his energy was distracted by other things.

Fortunately, Ike, who had been mentally prepared, didn't take Quirrell's class seriously at all. He just pretended to listen carefully and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Do you want to think of a way to get Voldemort to say something? The chance to face the Dark Lord without being caught by Avatar is only this year..."
