Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 102 Excuses
There is a trait in Hermione, which can be called a strong thirst for knowledge, or it can be called an "axis".

For the things she wants to know, she will definitely try every means to get the answers, only in terms of academic distance, as far as Ike knows, she has already used sneaking in the restricted area, chasing after professors, asking for advice Methods such as studying the gods in senior grades and writing letters to ask authoritative experts.

Holding on to Ike is nothing compared to that.

"Well, I admit, I used the Stunning Curse on you that night, maybe because I didn't grasp the strength very well, when you fell down, your head hit the ground hard..."

"Stunning Curse!" Hermione's eyes widened. "Did you use it directly on my head! Damn it!"

"Don't you know that hitting someone directly on the head with a Stunning Charm can have serious consequences? The concussion is still mild, and there is likely to be trauma that will never recover!"

Ike nodded subconsciously, he knew this situation.For a while, Ike liked to cast a stun spell on himself before going to bed to help him sleep, but after using it a lot, he found that his mind would suddenly go blank sometimes, and his memory had also declined significantly.

At first I didn't know it was the effect of the stun spell, but later I found relevant records in a book called "Special Effects of Common Spells", and I was shocked into a cold sweat.

Almost, really almost stupid.

That book was in the library, and Ike knew very well that Hermione must have read it based on her reading volume, and she would definitely be furious if she used the stun spell as an excuse.

But there is no way, this is already the best excuse Ike can think of.Putting it this way, she can make her think that her latest delusions are a side effect of the Stunning Spell, which is better than telling her the truth:

"Together we killed a Horcrux of Voldemort!"

He didn't want to explain Hermione's ensuing troublesome questions.

Of course, Ike also knew that Hermione would find out the truth by herself sooner or later, and he didn't know the reason. Now that the effect of the Forgetting Curse had weakened significantly, maybe she would be able to remember what happened that night by herself after a while.

"It's a day if it can be delayed..."

With a bitter face, Ike leaned on the wall and hopped on one foot.

There was no way, the angry Hermione stomped on him hard, it was too painful.

He limped back to the dormitory, and as soon as he sat on the bed, Stuart raised a class schedule and said, "Ike, did you make a mistake with your class schedule?"

"I checked, you have to take eight or nine courses every day, and some even take them at the same time!"

"You should go to Professor Flitwick and ask, how can a person appear in several classrooms at the same time."

"I just said that you shouldn't have taken all the electives in the first place, you see! This is not a problem!"

Ike took the schedule, and the dense curriculum on it reminded him of when he was in school, he felt inexplicably kind in his heart.

"It's okay, some people have chosen all the courses before, think about those guys who got 12 certificates in OWLs, I don't think there is any difference from them..."

"Besides, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick have arranged for me, so don't worry."

Terry suddenly remembered something when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows at Ike mysteriously.

"You mean, you got 'that'?"

Ike didn't answer, but just returned a meaningful look. Terry immediately understood, and immediately stopped Stuart, who was still trying to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay buddy, trust Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, Ike will be fine..."

"All right……"

It's not surprising that Terry can guess Ike.Although the Bute family is not a member of the holy 28 pure bloods, they are also a well-known wizard family, and their reputation in North America is far greater than that in England. It is normal to know the existence of Time Converter.

Early the next morning, the little wizards who forced themselves to get up came to the auditorium for dinner one by one listlessly. Among the crowd of yawning and shaking their heads, Ike, who was as excited as a chicken blood, was particularly obvious.

"Protection of Fantastic Beasts, then Charms, electives in the afternoon, Ancient Runes, Divination, Muggle Studies..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, triple happiness!"

Starting from the third grade, the study pressure at Hogwarts has obviously increased, and the curriculum has become much more intensive.According to Roger and Penello, the professors will be more strict, and the homework after class will also increase greatly. The most obvious is the increase in the length of the parchment. Some classes even require two to three times the previous homework.

If you think that Professor Snape has tripled the amount of homework, you are wrong. In contrast, the increase in homework in Potions is the least, and the real big homework is Charms!

The basis of wizards is the charm, and the charm class is also the basis of almost all other courses, and it is the focus of the OWLs exam. Both in theory and practice, the difficulty is higher and more comprehensive.

Moreover, due to the particularity of Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts, some related knowledge should also be taught in the Charms class.From this point of view, Professor Flitwick's hair volume is worrying, and there may be reasons for this.

It was Hagrid who taught the Care of Fantastic Beasts class for the new school year.There were classes at the beginning of school, which made Hagrid look a little cautious, and he stumbled a little when he spoke.

Fortunately, it was the little badgers and the kittens who came to class. If it was replaced by Slytherin and Gryffindor, among other things, at least Malfoy would definitely laugh at it.

In fact, Ike didn't expect much from Hagrid's Protection of Magical Beasts class.It is undeniable that Hagrid is a very good breeder of magical animals, and he also likes this group of magical creatures very much, but it is a pity that his aesthetics are contrary to the mainstream public. Just like that, the beast drove it to a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old wizards.

Class XXX, the level that capable wizards can handle, what is the ability of a Hogwarts third year student?
Very few.

Fortunately, the little badger and the eaglets were very obedient, and they rode up and flew around one by one according to Hagrid's explanation. This made Hagrid very happy, and he became more determined. "Little cutie" pulls out to yo.

Looking at Hagrid's expression when class was over, Ike seemed to have heard Malfoy's screams in his ears.

At 11 a.m., Ike and others rushed to the Charms classroom, also with the Hufflepuffs.

Seeing that everyone was present, Professor Flitwick began to speak directly.First, it took just 10 minutes to check everyone's mastery of the spells taught last year, and then began to learn a new spell—the universal cracking spell.

After talking about it in detail, he went on to talk about its advanced usage - joint spellcasting and shared magic power.

If everyone can keep up at the beginning, it will be a bit difficult in the second half of the course, even for Ike.After all, he hadn't worked seriously with other wizards.

Not counting the unicorn chase with Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest, Ike was just messing around.

At other times, it is a person who recklessly goes up and throws skills wildly.

Thanks to his "solid" spellcasting ability, Ekko can proudly say:
Fights, he never loses!
