Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 18 The Book of Spells and Standard Spells

Hogwarts at night is quiet, with a sense of déjà vu of a gloomy castle in a horror movie.

However, it just seemed that there was no one there.

All the school rules of Hogwarts are useless most of the time. As long as one has enough ability and is not found or caught when doing something out of line, then all the school rules are just a dead letter and useless.

This is especially true of curfews and forest bans.

Although Dumbledore will emphasize it at the opening dinner every year, it is a pity that almost all senior students have violated these two rules.

Ike could clearly feel that at the door of an abandoned classroom next to the corner of the stairs on the fifth floor, there were two students who were close together and didn't know what they were doing.

They weren't very proficient in the disillusionment spell, and when Ike went downstairs, he glanced casually and found strange magic fluctuations there.

"It seems that it doesn't even have the level of Lv1."

Ignoring this pair of guys who don't know whether they are a special product of the corrupt country or opposite sexes attract, Ike came to the library cautiously.

The door of the library was closed at night, but it was not locked, and it opened with a slight push.

He closed the door with his backhand and went straight to the entrance of the restricted area.Although it is locked, it is no different from an unlocked lock, and it will be opened with an unlocking spell.

"If you don't get caught, nothing will happen."

Ike secretly complained, and had a deeper understanding of the Hogwarts school rules.

Unlike the books outside the door for students to read at will, Ike felt a faint chill as soon as he stepped through the door of the restricted area.

"Content unsuitable for young students", this description can sum up all the books in the restricted section.

But pay attention to the key points: not suitable, young.

Some contents are indeed dangerous, such as books related to black magic. Most of those books have been cast with vicious and vicious magic. The damage in the form of impact is mostly similar to taboo blood fusion, vicious curse, evil magic creature cultivation and sacrifice ceremony.

These are obviously not suitable for young wizards with low magic level and low magic knowledge.

On the other hand, if a wizard has a high level of magic, magic cognition, and magic power control, there will be no major problem looking through it.

Ike carefully checked the banned books on the bookshelf, directly ignoring the bloody ones, those with unknown leather covers, and those with almost inaudible whispers, which he still dare not touch.

Others who were chained and still struggling, went around and walked away.

After searching for a while, Ike found what he wanted on the most ordinary-looking bookshelf.

The Book of Spells and the complete and unabridged version of The Standard Spells by Miranda Goshawk.

"Book of Spells" is the first spell textbook created by Miranda Goshawk. Once it was published, it was translated into 72 languages ​​including goblins and mermaids, and used by all magic schools around the world.

However, it caused a lot of controversy because it contained some jinxes.Although Miranda Gorshack believed that using moderately aggressive spells would prevent students from settling disputes with more dangerous spells, this clearly did not satisfy skeptics and naysayers.So I don't know when the "Book of Spells" was placed in the restricted area.

It's a pity that "locking" the "Book of Spells" can't prevent the curse from spreading among the little wizards.

"Standard Spells" is a teaching material specially compiled by Miranda for little wizards to learn spells after the "Book of Spells" was boycotted based on her experience when she was studying at Hogwarts.Compared with "Book of Spells", "Standard Spells" has more spells and more detailed explanations.

However, the first edition of "Standard Spells" still has many mischief spells and even offensive spells that can cause serious damage, which also caused "Standard Spells" to follow in the footsteps of "Book of Spells".

As for the subsequent series of textbooks, it is the product of deleting jinxes and offensive spells, and some difficult spells have also been removed.

Like the Patronus Charm.

And both in the "Book of Spells" and the complete and unabridged version of "Standard Spells", there is a Patronus Charm.

Putting the two books into the robe and hugging them, and locking the door of the restricted area, Ike quietly walked to the Ravenclaw Tower.

Hogwarts is almost as lively at night as it is during the day, and troublemakers like to make trouble for the castle janitor.Peeves likes to add jobs to Filch and Mrs. Norris, and the Weasley twins, such as Gryffindor, are the best of them.

Ike didn't want to gamble on whether the Christmas dinner made the troublemakers give up their battle plan tonight, or maybe it was a subconscious guilty conscience after doing bad things, and the speed of going back was much faster.

After observing at the door of Ravenclaw for a while, Ike confirmed that there was nothing abnormal before knocking on the door knocker lightly.

"Where does the afternoon come before the morning?"

"In the dictionary."

"Good answer."

After the bronze door knocker finished speaking in a muffled voice, the door panel was opened, revealing the archway leading to the common room.Ike maintained the Disillusionment Charm, and went straight through the lounge and returned to the dormitory.

Put the booty under the pillow and go straight to bed.

When I woke up the next morning, it was almost noon.Stuart and Terry didn't know where they went to play again. Ike didn't inquire, and after a simple wash, he came to the portrait of Barnabas playing silly with a troll stick with two books in his arms.

Walking back and forth three times, thinking about a room dedicated to Ike Strider of Ravenclaw, a gorgeous door appeared on the wall as Ike expected.

Push the door and enter, it is a room very similar to the Ravenclaw common room.It is very spacious, and directly opposite the door is a burning fireplace. On the fireplace, there is a row of letters shining with soft white light, spelling Ike's name.There is a single sofa on the left side of the fireplace, the floor is covered with a Ravenclaw blue carpet, and a wooden coffee table is placed above the eagle embroidery in the center of the carpet.

Behind the sofa is a potion workbench, complete with potion tools such as a crucible, chopping board, knife, roller, spoon, etc. There is also a cabinet next to it, but there are no potion ingredients in it.On the other side of the wall is a desk, similar to the one in Ike’s dormitory. There are two rows of bookshelves on both sides. In addition to the books owned and spent by Ike, there are also books unique to the Room of Requirement. Hundreds of books, such as "Self-Defense Charms", "Outsmarting the Dark Arts", "Common Spells and Solutions", etc.

Sitting on the sofa and putting the "Standard Spells" on the coffee table, Ike opened the "Book of Spells".Most of the spells in it, Ike, have reached Lv6. I took a rough look at the rest of the magic spells, such as the bat spell, the front tooth match stick, the dancing spell, and other prank spells are not complicated. Some Ike has already studied Passed, just not used, so there is no grade display on the waste notepad system.

After flipping through it, there is only one spell left, which also happens to be the target of Ike's sneaking into the restricted area:
One of the oldest and most powerful defensive spells - the Patronus Charm!
　Going home with difficulty, driving until delirious, still changing, starting to make up tomorrow, striving to become a terrifying top three
