Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 289 The Last Temptation and Silence

"Sorry teacher, I failed."

In the Malfoy Manor, Ike knelt on the ground with one knee, the wound on his abdomen was still bleeding, and he fainted a lot on the expensive stall on the ground.

Lao Fu sat comfortably on the chair, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back. After a while, until Ike was a little dazed due to blood loss, he stood up and grabbed Ike's arm to help him up.

"You killed a member of the Order, Mundungus, didn't you?"

"Yes, teacher." Ike resisted the trance, and looked directly at Lao Fu's pupils without hesitation.

"Very good, this is very good." Lao Fu patted Ike's shoulder, and then his hand fell on the wound on his abdomen. The severe pain made him grin unconsciously.

"It hurts, Ike..." Lao Fu sat back on the chair, spread his right hand, and let the blood drip onto his robe.

"This is a good thing, Ike." He said, "Injury proves that you are not strong enough, your plan is not perfect, and more importantly, your heart is not cruel enough!"

"Let me do the math... that lunatic Moody, that idiot Scrimgeour, and Tonks, if you are more ruthless, you will achieve even greater results!"

"Sorry, teacher."

"Don't apologize, Ike, it's useless! I hope you can promise me that next time, you won't hold back!"

"I will, teacher!" Ike said firmly.

"Very good, that's right." Lao Fu stood up again with a smile, and put his hand on Ike's shoulder again, his tone became much softer.

"Go, heal, drink some potions... Anyway, you killed one of Dumbledore's lackeys, and many of Scrimgeour's men."

"I just want to tell you that with your ability, you can do better."

"I understand, teacher." Ike bowed his head slightly, and bowed his body, resisting the pain.

"Then I'll go first, teacher."

"Go, go, take care of your wounds, there are more important things you need to do, little Ike..."

Ike nodded, clutching his wound and walking slowly towards the second floor of the castle step by step.Lao Fu stood on the spot, watching his back quietly until he disappeared from sight, then he waved to the side, and Bella immediately came over when he saw him.

"Master." She bowed in greeting.

"Bellatrix, you have been watching, what do you think?" Lao Fu asked calmly.

"Master, in my opinion, what the little master said is not appropriate..."

"Oh? You mean he lied?" Lao Fu turned his head, looked at Bella with sharp eyes, and his tone became much more serious.

"No, no, master, the little master didn't lie..." Bella quickly lowered her head when she heard the words, and said in panic, "The little master just didn't tell the whole truth..."

"Really master, the little master's arrangement is not wrong. I have to kill all the hateful bugs several times, but the reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore came too fast..."

"If it wasn't for Scrimgeour and his Auror, without Dumbledore and his nasty phoenix, my little master could really kill them all..."

"Really..." Lao Fu said coldly, while Bella still lowered her head in fear.

After a while, Lao V raised his right hand, and lightly tapped his wand on Bella's head.

"Bella, I'm going to take a look for myself, what do you think?"

"Please, master..."

"Legislasia!"

As soon as Bella finished speaking, Lao Fu had already entered her brain.After a while, she withdrew her wand abruptly, and Bella collapsed to the ground immediately, her body twitching uncontrollably.

"Master...Master, you...have you seen...see it?"

"I see." Lao Fu smiled suddenly, "Very good, everything is very good..."

"You are my loyal, and he is also loyal, which is good..."

"Go, you also go to rest, have a good sleep, it will be very good for you..."

Bella struggled to get up from the ground, endured a trance and bowed to Lao Fu, then turned and left.Not far away, Lao Fu's loud laughter came from behind him.

Sounds like a lot of fun...

When Lao V got the answer he wanted, and Ike reluctantly drank the healing potion and passed out on the bed, the freshmen of Hogwarts were led by the prefects to the station in Hogsmeade tremblingly. .

These little Doudings were wearing school uniforms, and some even wore scarves, but there was a bit of fear in their eyes.

Next to them, Hermione and Ron, who hastily treated their injuries, leaned against the pillars of the platform, but their eyes did not fall on the group of little beans like other prefects.

He didn't speak, just lowered his hair in a daze.

Several times, Ron wanted to break the silence, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He knew exactly why Hermione acted like this, and so did Harry, Neville, Luna, Ginny, and Anthony and Padma who were also on the platform.Although Ron has always disliked Ike, it is also clear that there are still many people in Hogwarts who look forward to Ike's return one day.

Among these people, Hermione was undoubtedly the most hopeful one.

However, what happened just now made this hope shattered... No one would be willing to accept a guy who killed his companion and comrade-in-arms back to Hogwarts.

"Jingle Bell!"

Just when Ron was thinking wildly, a tall figure came over with a bell and an oil lamp.Even though it was not the first time they met, the tall Hagrid still made the little bean dings scream a few times.

"Okay, freshmen, come with me! You need to board a boat, and each boat cannot have more than four people!" Hagrid raised the oil lamp and said loudly, "Be careful, don't fall!"

The prefects sent Little Bean Ding to the boat, watched them sail away from the shore, and then walked to the carriage that had been waiting by the side.

Walking to the carriage, both Ron and Hermione were stunned for a moment. They couldn't help feeling a little bitter when they saw the bony Thestrals in front of the carriage.

"I finally understand why the crazy girl said seeing thestrals is not a good thing..." Ron said as he got into the carriage, and Hermione was one step ahead of him.

"Honestly, I kind of like those Mundungus stories..."

Ron's voice got smaller and smaller until it was barely audible.She timidly glanced at Hermione next to her. Her hair was hastily tied into a bun, and a few mischievous bangs hung down behind her ears.

At this moment, she was quieter than Ron had ever seen, but he was not used to it, and even hoped that Hermione could say something that he didn't understand at all like before.

Even if it is to teach him to study hard, that's fine.

It's just that Hermione didn't say a word until the carriage stopped and they returned to sit down at the long table in Gryffindor...
