Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 107 The Riddler

Before I knew it, it was the end of September.

The appearance of Professor Lupine is a good thing for most people. After so many unreliable Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, everyone can finally learn something in this class.It is hard to imagine that most senior students form study groups after class to help each other in order to pass OWLs and NEWTs.

Right now, I can finally stop memorizing the thick Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks by rote for the time being.

With the help of Time Turner, Ike has made great progress in various researches, especially potions and Ravenclaw manuscripts. Thanks to the vitality tonic, Ike spends most of his time on these two items. superior.

I dare not say anything else, even if I go to take the OWLs exam now, Ike dares to say that I will get two O's in potions and spells.

Of course, compared with the bigwigs of the heavens and the world, this achievement is nothing to show for it.

As for the Ravenclaw manuscript, thanks to the sweep of books in the restricted area and the study of ancient runes, Ike finally felt that he could understand it all.But only about [-]% of them can be used.

The magic of thousands of years ago is very different from the magic of today. Many cutting-edge magics have been improved and researched by countless wizards for so long, and there are already more practical versions.The remaining [-]% are relatively complicated.

Just like the circle magic developed by Ike before, it is very powerful, but the conditions are relatively more cumbersome.

In terms of courses, the progress of arithmetic divination is gratifying.This method of divination, which hardly requires any knowledge of mysticism, really hit Ike's muzzle.In less than a month, he has reached LV3, which is the fastest level improvement among all subjects of Ike.

Ike also understands that addition and subtraction of numbers within ten is just the simplest mathematics.

Another Thursday, after "Triple Happiness", Ike decided to take a little vacation for himself. At this time, it has been a full month since the start of school, and Friday is October 10st.

If it was in the past, at this time he had already called a few friends to order food and drinks to prepare for a cruel battle, but at Hogwarts, he could only celebrate in this way.

And, even more rare, tonight is the night of a full moon.

The night of the full moon before eleven.

After dinner, Ike stood alone in the Ravenclaw tower, not holding the paper bag full of cockroaches, but a few pieces of sizzling bee candy.

Empty your head, just be in a daze quietly.

"The moonlight is beautiful to-night, Mr. Strider."

Dumbledore quietly appeared in the tower with a calm tone.

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

Ike replied casually.

Dumbledore took a closer look at Ike's face and said, "It seems that you have adapted to the Time Turner. I have met Miss Granger before, and I can clearly see her exhaustion."

"Hermione?"

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "She is the smartest and most outstanding witch I have ever seen. At her age, no one can do better than her, but obviously in terms of how to allocate time reasonably, she still has to do it." Learn a lot."

"I'm sure she'll work it out."

"Of course, I'm sure of that, too."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and continued, "There is one thing I think you should know, Mr. Strider."

Ike turned his head in doubt, and suddenly moved aside a little, before asking, "What's the matter? Professor Dumbledore."

"I found some old friends and looked up some information. I think Tom has more than one Horcrux." Dumbledore's words seemed to have ulterior motives, but Ike didn't hear it.

"I went to Albania during the summer vacation. Although I didn't find any trace of Tom, the forest was full of his rotten and evil aura. Even a 100-year-old man like me could feel the pungent smell of that smell."

"He'll be back, Mr. Strider."

"So what? Professor? What do you want me to do?"

"I'm just a little wizard in the third grade. Even if he comes back, don't you still have you? There are also Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Flitwick. I don't think I need to do anything."

"Yes, that's it." Dumbledore clapped his hands suddenly, "I'm glad you said that."

As if he got the answer he wanted, Dumbledore patted Ike on the shoulder lightly, and with the other hand, he conjured a book out of nowhere and handed it to Ike.

"I heard that you have learned the Patronus Charm? That's good, I think it's time to lend you this book."

"After all, you've been looking for it for a long time, haven't you?"

As soon as the voice fell, he patted Ike on the shoulder again, then turned and left.

Ike seemed to have never heard of it, but just stared blankly at this book that he didn't even want to find:

Sophisticated Dark Arts Revealed.

This forbidden book, which has been kept in the headmaster's office since Dumbledore became the headmaster of Hogwarts, was handed over to him, and the profound meaning in it made Ike shudder.

Not daring to think about it, Ike packed the book and hurried back to the dormitory, and got into the box under the surprised eyes of Stuart and Terry.

After Ike's tireless improvement, there is already a lot of space in the suitcase. In order to maintain the traceless stretching spell, Ike also carved many magic circles and runes to improve stability.

Taking a cursory glance at the potion that was still brewing on the crucible, Ike went directly to the storage room he specially prepared, put the book on the table, and put on some protective magic when he came out.

Although it is almost impossible for someone to get into a little wizard's suitcase, but if someone really breaks into this step, Ike will be able to sense it immediately.

After all, there are many things in this storage room that are more difficult to reveal than "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts", the kind that would directly enter Azkaban once discovered.

"Ike, your suitcase..." It was the first time Stuart saw Ike get into the suitcase. He knew Ike's economic conditions, and he didn't seem to be able to afford this kind of unlimited consumption. The suitcase of the Stretching Curse.

"I have been selling potions during the holidays, and the income is still very objective." Ike replied casually, put the suitcase away, and then sat on the chair beside him.

"St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries has a great demand for all kinds of detoxification and healing potions, and the prices they offer are very fair. There is never too much potion." Terry explained, "In fact, we The final destination of many healing potions brewed in potions class is St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and they also have a special potion brewing department."

"You don't know how many unlucky people in the magic world are injured by various accidents every day. Even the school hospital is often overcrowded?"

"It seems that I have to brew some potions to earn some pocket money." Stuart thought thoughtfully.

"Come on." Terry poured cold water at the right time, "Do you have money to buy potion ingredients?"

"Your money has been used to buy Zizi honey candy!"
