Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 92

"Restored as before!"

Ike waved his wand, and the scattered wood and soil seemed to go back in time, returning to its original position backwards.After a while, the ground leveled off again, and the Shrieking Shack returned to its original appearance.

There will always be a sense of emptiness after a big battle, not only because of the consumption of mana, but also a false sense of satisfaction after all the hard work has been rewarded.He walked to the door of the shed in two or three steps, and sat down on the steps. Ike's face showed a trace of fatigue for the first time.

"What's wrong, Hermione."

Looking up at the little witch with a complicated expression in front of him, Ike asked with a smile.

"Ike...what's going on here?" Hermione stood on the spot, clenched her hands in the cuffs of her robe, "that man... I mean is that really You-Know-Who?"

"Of course not." Ike shook his head, "He's just the split soul of the Dark Lord, when he was in the sixth grade."

"Sixth grade?"

"That's right. The Dark Lord's real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and he's in the same class as Hagrid."

"Hagrid should have told you if you had asked."

There was a hint of surprise in Hermione's eyes, but she quickly caught the point of Ike's words.

"A split soul? What is that?"

"A very evil black magic, and it is also the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality." Ike explained casually, "It was a black magic invented by the despicable Haierbo, who killed an innocent person by cruel means to split his soul. stored in a specific item."

"In this way, if the object is not destroyed, this person will never really die. Even if the body is destroyed or killed, there is still hope for resurrection."

"And this item that holds the soul fragments is the Horcrux."

Hermione quickly thought of the incident last year: "So the mysterious man was going to steal the Philosopher's Stone last year?"

"That's right." Ike nodded, "His original body was destroyed because of Harry, but since the Horcrux was not destroyed, he won't really die."

"If the Dark Lord is really allowed to get the Philosopher's Stone and successfully concoct the elixir of life, he will really come back intact."

Xu's act of revealing the secret in this way made people look very honest, and Hermione's vigilance in her heart was slightly relaxed.Slowly walking to sit next to Ike, the little witch sighed softly, and asked again: "What is that snake you took out of my head before? How could it be in my head? "

"To be precise, I didn't take it out of your head." Ike turned his head to look at Hermione, and explained seriously, "It works in your soul. Senior Roger also has one."

"This is also a very vicious and evil black magic. It will unknowingly absorb a person's life and feed back to the caster. Before the Middle Ages, many evil black wizards used this magic to maintain life."

"I remember that there is a "Secrets of Ancient Black Magic" in the library, which contains relevant records. In fact, I think that the witch hunting movement in the Middle Ages has a lot to do with this black magic."

"You know, black wizards are unscrupulous, and they will even absorb life from village to village in order to continue to live."

Hermione was taken aback, and quickly recalled the books in the library in her mind. She swore that there was no such thing as "Ancient Dark Arts Secrets".

"You...you went to the restricted area?"

"Of course." Ike replied, "Students are not allowed to enter the restricted area at all. Except for the professor's approval note, as long as you will not be caught, there is no difference from other places."

"As I remember, Harry has also been to the Restricted Book Section quite a few times, and it seems that he has been there since the last school year."

Looking at Hermione who was a little surprised, Ike went on to say: "Hermione, the daily teaching at Hogwarts is far from enough for people like you and me. Instead of spending most of the time on review and preview , it is better to learn some other knowledge by yourself.”

"At this point, it is very necessary to learn the disillusionment spell."

"Okay, I'll learn when I get back." Hermione nodded, taking this matter to heart.She felt that she had found the reason for Ike's strength, and after she knew it, she would definitely catch up soon.

In learning, Hermione does not fall behind.

"By the way, the Chamber of Secrets!" Hermione suddenly remembered what she had been investigating with Harry and Ron for almost a whole year. "The crisis in the Chamber of Secrets has not been resolved yet! That person...is he the heir of Slytherin?"

"Yes, he is indeed the heir of Slytherin and the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets. But rest assured, the issue of the Chamber of Secrets has been resolved."

"I think... about half a year?"

"Half a year!" Hermione's voice suddenly became louder, and suddenly felt that it was a bit impolite, so she quickly lowered her voice, "I mean, the crisis in the Chamber of Secrets was resolved half a year ago? What about the monster inside? That... ..."

"The Basilisk, its body should be in Professor Snape's private collection now, and it may have been consumed a lot." Ike said calmly, "The professors took care of it, and the Basilisk died peacefully."

"Then why didn't you tell us!"

"Because Tom has not been caught, the crisis in the castle has not been completely resolved."

"So Dumbledore put Hogwarts under martial law after Roger's attack?"

"Yes."

Ike stretched his waist, and his fatigue has subsided a lot after resting for a while.He stood up, moved his limbs a little, looked at the bright moon above his head, and turned to Hermione and said, "We should go back, it should be almost curfew time."

"It's so late?" Hermione realized that it was almost 10 o'clock after hearing the words, and stood up, "Then let's go."

Ike nodded, but did not move his feet: "Of course, but before that, there is one more thing to do."

As soon as the voice fell, he quickly pulled out his wand, and threw an explosive spell towards the corner of the wall.In Hermione's surprised expression, a blond man in a gorgeous robe rolled out from the corner directly.

It was Lockhart!
Pointing the wand at the rather embarrassed Lockhart, Ike's tone was playful: "Professor Lockhart, why are you here so late? Is it to see the scenery?"

"Haha, haha..." Lockhart smiled awkwardly, got up and straightened his clothes, with a characteristic smile on his face, "Mr. Strayed, Miss Granger, haha, tonight's The moonlight is beautiful."

"Professor Lockhart, please answer my question." Ike was unmoved, "Why are you here?"

"Of course it is... yes..."

"Forget it all!"

Lockhart faltered, then suddenly drew his wand, and an Oblivion Curse hit the two of them.Ike was prepared and blocked it directly.With a slight movement of his left hand, a stun spell hit Lockhart, knocking him down directly, and even snoring.

"Ike?" Hermione still didn't know what was going on, mainly because it was too fast.I saw Lockhart come out, cast a spell, and was easily dealt with by Ike.

Recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class?Honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League?Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts?

That's it?

"I'll find out after a while." Ike didn't mean to explain anymore, he had already told too many secrets tonight, "We should go back."

"What about him?" Hermione asked, pointing to Lockhart who was sleeping soundly on the ground.

"It's still here, we can't get him back." Ike shrugged and walked towards the Whooping Willow.

"Okay then, let's go." Hermione followed closely.

After a while, the two arrived at the exit, and Ike suddenly stopped.

"By the way, Hermione, there's one more thing..."

"What?" Hermione stopped, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stared blankly at Ike who was pointing at her with a wand. Before she could react, she saw a soft light flashing in front of her eyes, and she heard a spell in her ear.

Forget it all!
