Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 165: Spy Impossible Spy

The prom was undoubtedly a success.

Of course, it doesn't mean how good it is or how much fun everyone had, but since the ball, there have been many more couples of men and women in Hogwarts.

Ever since, the world where only Harry was injured was achieved.

Every time he saw Cedric and Cho walking together, Harry felt like a knife had been stabbed in his heart.But for some reason, it didn't take long for the pain to stop.

Maybe it's because I'm used to it...

As for Ron...it's still the same, nothing has changed.

Of course, neither Harry nor Ron noticed that after the dance, their reputations were much worse.

After all, a person who snubs his partner at a ball will have a bad reputation no matter what.

In January, Hogwarts reopens.

Ike, who has rarely been idle for several years, rarely even goes to the Room of Requirement now.There's basically a "Hermione" in there all the time.

She may be the only person in the school who still has the right to use the Time Turner, and after some guidance and inspiration from Ike, Hermione is even busier than Ike last year.

Ike was also happy with the same. Since he was a child, he thought that it would not hurt to learn more things, and after this hard study, Hermione was undoubtedly much better than her at the same time in the original history.

The suitcase full of copies of forbidden books and Ravenclaw manuscripts had been sitting in the Room of Requirement for months, and it was strange that there had been no progress.

Peaceful days are good, but each day is less and less, and Ike knows this very well.Hermione also seemed to have noticed something, even if she was extremely busy every day, she still had to spare a few hours to stay with Ike.

Maybe it's walking snow next to the Black Lake, or sitting in the library reading a book, or enjoying a delicious meal in the kitchen before curfew.

Now it is not Ogilvy who serves the two of them. After Hermione tried to pay her, Ogilvy never appeared in front of Hermione. Only when Ike came alone, he would come out and deliver Delicious food, while complaining about "horrible Miss Granger".

It was Hermione's acquaintance Dobby who took Ogilvy's place, and Hermione would give Dobby a Nat every now and then.

Although in Hermione's opinion, the value of Dobby's work is far more than a Nat, but unfortunately, this is the only thing Dobby accepts.Hermione was very satisfied. Even if there was only one house-elf who accepted the wages, it would be a success for the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association.

Unfortunately, Dobby is indeed a free house-elf, but he is still a house-elf...

"Strider, come to my office."

One day in February, just before Valentine's Day, after Ike and Hermione left the library, Moody stopped Ike with his crutch.

Looking at Hermione, Hermione urged in a low voice: "Go quickly, it may be about the Tournament, Harry just got some news from him a few days ago."

"Okay, then I'll go."

Saying goodbye to Hermione, Ike followed Moody to his office.

Compared with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office in previous years, Moody's office is much messier. A large number of magical props shining with various strange lights can be seen everywhere. Parchments and books are randomly piled together, and there are piles in the corner There were a lot of them, and a corner of a black iron box was faintly exposed below.

Ike was not polite, and sat down on the only chair in the office that was still intact. Moody didn't care, and said directly: "I need your help."

"Didn't you do a good job, what else do you need me to do?" Ike replied casually.

"Now is not the time to joke, this is a very urgent matter!" Moody... No, Little Barty said eagerly.

"Tell me about it."

"I need the snake skin of the African tree snake, a lot." Barty Jr. lowered his voice and whispered.

Ike didn't refuse, and stood up directly.

"Three days later, it will be the same classroom as last time, and you will get what you need."

After speaking, he left immediately.

After dinner the next day, Ike, who had used the Disillusionment Charm, quietly came to Snape's office. Just as he opened the door, Snape, who had unknowingly released a lot of warning magic in his office, found Ike.

"You didn't knock, Mr. Strider." Snape, who was drawing a T on his homework like an assembly line, didn't even lift his head.

"What I want to say is not suitable for knocking on the door, Professor." After closing the door and casting a silence spell, Ike said, "I need some African tree snake skins."

"Compound potion?" Snape put down the quill in his hand, glanced at Ike, and took out a small bag of African tree snake skin from the storage room without asking any questions.

But he just held it in his hand and didn't hand it to Ike.

"Answer, Strider."

"Bang! Bang!"

Ike didn't speak, just stamped his feet on the floor vigorously, and left with the bag.Snape sat back on his seat as if nothing had happened, and continued to draw a T on the parchment.

By the way, put the bag in the abandoned professor on the fifth floor, and Ike returned to the common room.

It was all small things, and the most urgent thing was to get Hermione's present on Valentine's Day.It was undoubtedly difficult to choose a gift for the first Valentine's Day between the two, especially now that there are so many couples in Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Ike still has a way.After asking Roger, Terry, Stewart and Michael successively, after excluding their choices, the range of choices is undoubtedly much smaller.

To put it in detail, Ike has no choice. If other festivals only need a book to satisfy Hermione, but this is Valentine's Day, books will definitely not work.

Although in the end, the gift Ike chose did not satisfy Hermione very much.

"I think books are pretty good." Holding a silver-white ladies' watch, Hermione said casually.Ike was very satisfied, because Hermione put it on her wrist directly after receiving the watch, which made him very happy.

"This is a pair." Showing his wrists, shaking the same silver-white watch a little, Ike put down his sleeves.

"By the way, haven't you always wanted to know what the second project is?" Ike leaned forward with a mysterious smile on his face, "I can tell you now."

Hermione, who was still looking at her watch, didn't even raise her head, and replied angrily, "I knew about it a long time ago, do you think Harry won't tell me when he unlocks the golden egg?"

"I forgot about that." Ike patted his forehead, as if he really forgot.Hermione didn't take it seriously, but she also showed a bright smile.

She enjoyed her time with Ike...

Enjoyed very much.
