Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 132 Subtle, Very Subtle

Looking at Peter who disappeared into the forest, Ike quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As he had told Snape, Peter was important, a very important part of his plan.

Ike wasn't worried that Peter wouldn't go to Albania, the fear of Sirius and Lupine would drive him to find the only person who could shelter him.What's more, Ike also got a double insurance.

A curse, the curse will disappear only if Peter completes the task Ike entrusts to him, otherwise he will suffer from the torment of the soul every other day.

That kind of pain is only slightly inferior to the Cruciatus Curse.

Of course, the merciful Ike moved back the time when the curse took effect, and Peter could still spend two weeks happily.

How to choose is actually very simple...

When we returned to the common room, some news had already come in.Hogwarts is such an "airtight", although there are some slight discrepancies in some places, but it is basically the same as the truth.

"I can't believe it! Sirius is innocent!"

"It's really unbelievable that Professor Lupine is a werewolf! God, I still think he is the most competent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor! How could Dumbledore allow such a dangerous person to be our professor!"

"Uh...Actually, with Wolfsbane Potion, a werewolf can maintain its sanity while transforming. And...he is indeed a very competent professor, at least the best I have met over the years."

"That's right, Professor Lupine has nothing to say, let's talk about Sirius..."

Well……

Ike didn't expect that the little eagles would think so. According to common sense, shouldn't they write letters to the family quickly, so that tomorrow's principal's office will be flooded with roaring letters from angry parents?
In a way, Ike didn't guess wrong.There are still many students who do this, and the final exams are over, and the parents have no worries.

Ike didn't even eat breakfast, the auditorium was full of owls messing everything up, and he saw a UFO land straight into Stewart's glass.Seeing that Stuart didn't notice, Ike stopped him as soon as he picked up the cup, otherwise the consequences...

Incredible.

There is still about a week of leisure time before the test results will be announced.It happened to be such a big gossip at this time, which can be regarded as satisfying the vigorous energy of the little wizards.

Ron was standing with one leg in front of the long table in Gryffindor, bragging loudly about the energy he had last night, even though he was yelling in most cases, but this did not prevent him from gaining The adoring gaze of the lion cub.

This feeling made him enjoy it very much.

She got up and came to the entrance of the auditorium, beckoning, Hermione greeted Harry next to her and came over after seeing it.

They need to return the Time-Turner to Professor McGonagall, which was agreed upon at the beginning of school.

Along the way, it was obvious that Hermione was in a good mood, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Buckbeak was rescued." Ike asked in a low voice.

"What? How...how is that possible, I don't know what you're talking about." Hermione turned her head away.

"It's okay, I'll just ask Hagrid."

"You don't know Hagrid well! He won't tell you."

"So..." Ike stopped, his eyes fixed on Hermione's pupils.After a while, Hermione was defeated, and nodded slightly in resignation.

"How did you guess that?" Hermione asked inexplicably more relaxed.

"It's easy." Ike took another step, and said as he walked, "You and Harry have been busy for so long, the whole of Hogwarts knows, Malfoy spread the news, and the news of Hagrid's defeat also spread. all over."

"Minister Fudge and the executioner were at the castle yesterday. If Buckbeak was really dead, you must not look like this."

"To sum up, there is only one truth... You used this, right?" Finger tapped on the time switch on his chest, his face full of inscrutability.

Hermione was stunned for a moment, looking at Ike's face, she was inexplicably angry, and kicked Ike's calf directly.

"Ouch!"

Ike acts like he's been hit by a train, grinning like he's in pain.Seeing this, Hermione laughed cheerfully, turned her head and hummed, and left first.

Seen from the rear, the steps are cheerful.

Outside Professor McGonagall's office, the two finally put away their smiling faces.He knocked on the door and opened it after getting a response.

"Professor McGonagall, let's return the Time Converter." Hermione took the Time Converter from Ike and placed it on Professor McGonagall's desk together with her own.

"Very punctual, Miss Granger, Mr. Strider." Professor McGonagall checked it a little, and received it in the box he saw at the beginning of school.

"By the way, maybe I can congratulate you in advance, you are still the top two in your grade."

"Then Professor McGonagall, who is number one?" Hermione has always been active and conscientious in terms of grades.

Professor McGonagall didn't answer clearly, just looked at Hermione and shrugged, the answer was obvious.

"Well, don't worry too much, you are not far behind, and compared with many people, your grades can make them feel ashamed!"

"My God! I haven't seen so many D's and P's in all these years!"

Professor McGonagall began to talk about the ridiculous transformation results she saw on the Transfiguration exam. Unfortunately, Ike heard that one of the examples was Stuart.

His vacation must not be easy.

Ike and Hermione didn't stay for long, and Professor McGonagall still had work, so he left after listening for a while.

Walking out of the castle in a tacit understanding, the two came to the edge of the Black Lake again.

"That's not the Stunning Charm." Hermione said suddenly.

"What?" Ike, who was in a daze, couldn't help being taken aback.

Hermione stopped and looked directly at Ike: "I said, last year in the Screaming Shack, it was not the Stunning Curse, but the Oblivion Curse!"

"You...remember?" Ike's eyes flickered a little, even though he knew there would be such a day, he never expected that this day would come so early.

In which direction should I run?

"Don't try to run! Ike Strider!" Hermione grabbed Ike, "This time, you can't escape!"

"Well, I admit, that is indeed the Oblivion Curse." Ike decided to lie down, and he was ready to pay any price.

"I knew it!" Hermione kicked Ike again, this time it was much heavier, and the grin on her face was not fake.

"If, I can't remember... you will never tell me the truth?" Hermione asked seriously.

"Yes, since you remember it, you should know that kind of thing..." Ike was interrupted by Hermione before he could finish speaking.

"Ike..."

"kindness?"

"Never use the Oblivion Curse on me again!"

"I said forever!"

Looking at Hermione's serious face, Ike suddenly smiled, narrowed his eyes unconsciously, and nodded.

"kindness!"
