Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 28 Summoning
It was already past one o'clock in the morning when we got down from the Astronomy Tower.

Among the many courses at Hogwarts, only astronomy is Ike's least favorite.A group of little wizards in the middle of the night raised their heads to look at the stars, which in itself was a very silly thing.

It's better now, the weather is getting warmer, and I don't need to maintain the warming spell all the time, it makes me want to die in winter.

Walking to the dormitory alone, with Stuart and others not far behind him, everything seemed to be back to Christmas time.

The difference is that now everyone pays attention to Ike's whereabouts from time to time.

"There's something wrong with me..."

"When I leave without saying hello to you one day, I must go to Professor Flitwick immediately!"

"Trust me, I will never hurt you..."

There are no fools in Ravenclaw, so Stuart and Terry didn't say anything, they just told Michael and Anthony quietly.

After that night, Ike tried to go in and out with a few people as much as possible, and would say hello in advance when he was going to leave alone.

Everyone was waiting for the moment when Ike suddenly disappeared.

Although it is a bit tormenting and needs to keep an eye on Ike's movements, perhaps all the little wizards have some yearning for adventure in their bones. This kind of spy-like behavior actually makes Stuart and others enjoy it.

It was so peaceful until May, and everyone couldn't hold on anymore.

For more than two months, Ike didn't have any problems, let alone disappear suddenly. If it wasn't for believing that Ike wouldn't make such jokes, everyone would have given up early.

But even so, it has reached the limit.

Ike was also at the limit. He suddenly couldn't figure out what Quirrell, or Voldemort, was thinking.

In Comrade Lao Fu's current state, using the Imperius Curse to control himself in a silent and battleless way will inevitably increase the burden on him and Quirrell. It can be seen in the strange smell.

It's like a person who is already half-dead and lingering on the bed, but if he insists on bouncing around a few times, it's almost as if he doesn't die.

"Maybe go find the unicorn earlier..." Ike counted the days and thought it should be about the same.

Black magic comes at a price. Those like Lao Fu who are forcibly attached to the back of Quirrell's head will put a greater burden on the two of them. If Ike guessed correctly, the trip to the Forbidden Forest is imminent.

On the first Saturday in May, Ike chatted with Stuart and others in the common room as usual, when suddenly an inexplicable and seductive voice came to mind.

"11 o'clock, Forbidden Forest, don't be discovered by anyone..."

For a split second, Ike's eyes lost focus, then came back to life.

Frowning, he looked at the clock on the wall, and there were almost two hours left.

Ike remained calm, and when he returned to the dormitory after 10 o'clock, Stuart and Terry were lying on the bed before walking to the door of the dormitory and looking back at them.

Stuart and Terry noticed Ike's strangeness and couldn't help but increase their attention.Ike looked at the two of them, cast the Illusion Charm on himself, left a line of golden text, opened the door and left.

"If I don't come back in three hours, go find Professor Flitwick to the Forbidden Forest!"

Stuart hammered the pillow angrily, turned to Terry and said, "What the hell do you think Ike is doing? We should go to the professor now!"

"He has his own plan." Terry reassured, "We have to trust him, he will not do things that are not sure."

"Go to sleep, let's talk about it in three hours." Stuart turned on the alarm clock, went back to the quilt, and forced to go to sleep.

Ike is already very familiar with night tours. After learning the Disillusionment Curse, he will sneak to the restricted area every two or three days.Of course, in the past two months, before leaving, he would explain his whereabouts to Stuart and Terry, and he also took them there.It is the Forbidden Forest, which is the first time I have come to Hogwarts.

The Forbidden Forest is definitely a dangerous place, with tall trees that can't be seen at a glance, complex tree species and an unknown number of magical animals.Who knows how many dangerous creatures Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn and Hagrid have put in it over the decades.

The Forbidden Forest was pitch black at night, and although the moon in the sky was very bright, it couldn't be seen clearly after passing through the thick leaves.

Ike raised his hand and cast a night vision spell on himself. This is a small spell that is not included in the "Standard Spells". Ike found it in a book in the library that introduced dangerous areas in the magic world. Knowing which year's student is written in the corner of the page is very useful at night.

"forward……"

"Left..."

"To the right……"

Following the guidance of the voice that appeared in his mind from time to time, Ike found Quirrell with his back to him in a place where the trees were not so dense.

After lifting the illusion spell, Ike held his wand and saluted respectfully.

"professor."

Quirrell was wearing a pitch-black robe that completely covered his head, and he didn't have that strange smell on his body, but he gave off a dying and very dangerous feeling.

Turning his head and looking at Ike, Quirrell said slowly: "Mr. Strayer, as smart as you, you should have guessed what I did to you."

"Yes, Professor." Ike kept saluting, with a steady tone of voice, like a machine, "Imperishable Curse, I have seen the effect of this spell in books, and it is the same as what happened to me."

"I'm curious, Mr. Stryde." Quirrell held his wand, staring at Ike. "I believe that you can break free from the shackles of the Imperius Curse, but you still choose to obey my call..."

"Now, tell me what you think!"

"Of course I'm looking for a chance to kill you!"

Ike slandered, wishing that Avada would burn his face with fierce flames, but his face showed fanaticism. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Only by your side can I learn real magic..."

"Please continue to teach me magic, great Dark Lord!"

Looking at Quirrell without hesitation, Ike's eyes were full of determination and fanaticism, like the most devout believer.

"Good boy..." A weak voice sounded, "Qirrell, it's time for this boy to meet his master..."

"But master, you now..."

"Let him see me!"

"Okay, master." Quirrell lifted his hood, turned around, and a distorted, ugly, pale face appeared in front of Ike.Ike took two steps forward, still kneeling on one knee, looking up at this face, looking even more fanatical.

"Great Dark Lord, Ike Stride salutes you!"

"Hey~hey~hey~"

"Kid, look into my eyes and tell me..."

"How did you find out?"

Ike looked at Voldemort without hesitation: "In today's wizarding world, besides Dumbledore, only you can release the Unforgivable Curse silently and without a weapon!"

"Only you have such a high level of black magic attainment!"

"Hey~hey~hey~" Old Comrade Fu showed a terrifying smile, "Very good, very good, you didn't disappoint me, little Ike..."

"You can also see that I am very weak now, so weak that I even want to attach myself to others..."

"But, I will return eventually!"

"When I return, I will personally mark you with the Dark Mark..."

"This is the Dark Lord's promise!"

"My honor, the great Dark Lord!" Ike lowered his head and replied.

"Get up, boy..." Voldemort was very satisfied, and Ike stood up when he heard the sound, still looking at Voldemort's face frantically.

"Now, there is one thing that requires you to assist Quirrell. I don't think you will let me down."

"Of course, the great Dark Lord!"

"Very good... very good..." After saying so much, Voldemort became weaker and his voice became smaller and smaller. Ike watched as Voldemort closed his eyes, and Quirrell put his hood back on in due course.

"Let's go, Ike, we are short on time." As he said, Quirrell walked to the depths of the Forbidden Forest first.
"Okay, Professor..."

Ike agreed, and followed closely behind Quirrell, still maintaining that fanatical look on his face.

A panel suddenly appeared in front of my eyes:
