Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 85 The New Ban
"Ike, don't worry, we will keep you safe."

Professor Flitwick stood on tiptoe and patted Ike on the shoulder, comforting him.Although he knew his student was strong and bright, he felt that Ike needed a little reassurance from his teacher at this moment.

"Sorry, Felius." Dumbledore sighed softly. "It's cruel to say that. As I mentioned before, we can't help Mr. Strider too much."

"Albus! My God!" exclaimed Professor McGonagall, surprised that Dumbledore would say that, "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head. "The contract of life and death is a very strange magic. From the moment the magic takes effect, both parties can only rely on themselves. Anyone who helps one of them will affect the final result."

"It's as if there is an unknown being as the referee. Everything you do will add a weight to the side of the scale that belongs to you. Every help from others will decrease a little bit."

"If Mr. Stryde relies on our help to get rid of the spell caster, it may happen that even if he wins, he will die because of too little weight."

"As far as I know, that happens."

Ike remained silent until Dumbledore finished speaking before raising his head, his eyes were firm.

"Professor, don't worry about me, I'll get rid of him..." Looking back at Roger, who was lying motionless on the bed.

"As soon as possible... as much as I can..."

Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Sprout all looked at Ike with worried eyes, while Snape remained cold.A smile appeared on the corner of Dumbledore's mouth, he pushed the glasses on his nose, and said, "Then Mr. Strider, we can only wish you success."

Ike nodded, looked at Roger again, turned around and walked towards the door.

"By the way..." As soon as I walked to the door, Ike heard Dumbledore's exaggerated voice behind him, "I almost forgot..."

"If you get some magic props or magical creatures from others through your own efforts, it does not count as help from others."

"As I get older, my memory is really bad..."

As soon as the voice fell, Ike's figure had disappeared.

After leaving the school hospital, Ike went straight back to the dormitory.As soon as they entered the door, they saw Stuart and others who were full of worries.

"How's it going? Ike." Stuart asked immediately when he saw Ike come in.

"I can't reveal too much." Ike shook his head, "All in all, things are troublesome."

"For the next period of time, our training will stop. You must act together as four people. No matter what you do, don't be alone."

"What about you?" Terry asked.

"I have something important to do." Ike sat down on the chair and sighed softly, "but I can only go by myself."

"He's coming for me. As long as you don't leave alone, I don't think there will be any danger."

"But what do you do?"

"Don't worry about me." Ike smiled, "As long as I can find the attacker, I will easily get rid of him!"

"Although it's inappropriate to say that, I can't guarantee your safety when I'm with you."

The faces of the four of Stuart were a little ugly, as if they were complaining about their lack of strength and could not help Ike.Or like it hurt them because Ike's words were too blunt.

Ike looked at the four of them, seeing everything in his eyes.But there is no way, what he said is also true.

Comrade Xiaofu is in the dark this time, who knows when he will throw Avada from the corner again?

What if Ike didn't react this time?

There are always times when people relax, and Ike can't guarantee that being next to the four of Stuart will always protect them, just like he can't guarantee that they won't be attacked after he acts alone.

But all in all, the probability is much smaller.

Besides, there are professors.

"Believe me, as long as everyone gets together, there will be no danger. Try to follow the crowd, don't, don't, don't stand alone..."

This Easter holiday was destined to be unsettled. When Ike woke up the next morning, Stuart and Terry hadn't woken up yet.

Instead of waking them up as before, Ike left the dormitory after simply washing up.

After sitting in the auditorium for a while, the four of Stuart came in together.Even called Padma, Morag, and Morty, as he had said last night.

The seven people are mighty but they don't seem to have any spirit.

Obviously, in the morning Stuart told the ladies what Ike said last night.

Maybe in another hour or two, all of Hogwarts will know.

Little wizards actually don't have any opinions, and they are not very courageous. Even Gryffindors will subconsciously gather together after most of them gather together.Even if there are loners, there are only a few sporadic ones, which will not affect anything.

As long as he is familiar with Ike and has a good relationship, he will not be alone, and his goal will be achieved.

After waving their hands, a few of them ran to the seats next to them and sat down.As soon as he sat down, Stuart whispered all the rumors he had heard this morning.

There are all kinds of versions, some Death Eaters sneaked into the school, the Dark Lord ran in, the Heir of the Chamber of Secrets shot again, and so on.Every story is made up in a decent way, and it seems to be true at first glance.

After a while, breakfast began.As soon as the little wizards ate a few bites, hundreds of owls rushed in, hovered on the ceiling, and dropped letters and newspapers.

A letter just landed in front of Terry, and when he opened it, Terry's face changed.

"My parents know..."

As soon as the words fell, Morag, who got the latest "Daily Prophet", let out an exclamation, hurriedly spread the newspaper on the table, pointed to the cover article and said, "Look here! It says the school will be closed!"

"It's impossible!" Stuart was shocked, took it over and looked at it again, then looked at Morag with resentful eyes and said, "Morag, you're wrong, it just says it's possible."

"Maybe! It's not a sure thing!"

"The school won't be closed." Ike went up to look at it, and then said calmly, "Dumbledore won't let the school be closed."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the Ministry of Magic will take some action. After all, three students have been attacked. This is a big event."

The auditorium was completely fried. After reading the letters and newspapers, the little wizards shouted loudly and screamed harshly. Ike even heard crying from the long Hufflepuff table next to him.

"Quiet!"

When everyone was in a mess, Dumbledore suddenly appeared in front of the professor's seat, and just said a word to quiet the chaotic auditorium.

"I think everyone knows what happened last night..." The professors appeared in their seats one by one, and Dumbledore was still standing, scanning the auditorium with his eyes, and said calmly, "...Indeed, Mr. Davis Attacked tonight."

"However, Hogwarts will not suspend classes and close the school!"

"I assure you that Hogwarts is still safe and will protect every student!"

"Of course, in extraordinary times, I would like to emphasize a few things to avoid the recurrence of attacks:"

"First of all, no one is allowed to enter any abandoned classrooms in the castle. Don't go alone, stay with your friends."

"Secondly, until the end of the Easter holiday, no one should leave the castle, unless you have the dean's approval!"

"Again, no one is allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest..." Dumbledore took a special look at the twins, with meaningful eyes, "Night tours are prohibited. After the curfew, I hope you all lie obediently on the beds in the dormitory..."

"at last……"

"Quidditch matches are suspended indefinitely until we find the culprit."
