Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 108 First Sight in the Kitchen

As much as you get, you have to give as much as you can. This is the most ideal state.

More often than not, what you need to pay is several times what you get.

In all fairness, the value of "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Arts" is not too high. There are many similar books in the restricted area.But Dumbledore took the initiative to bring up this matter, the concept is different.

Ike is very clear that since the first grade, he has become a part of this layout master plan. What happened in the past two years has made him a chess piece. Now he can be called a relatively It's crucial.

This is something Ike knows well, and it is also something he doesn't care about.

When you come to this world, you have to choose one side between Dumbledore and Comrade Lao Fu. If you follow Lao Fu, there is really no future, so you can only choose Dumbledore.

There is no rush to study the magic inside, just put it in the schedule.

On the second day, something happened in the school that almost brought down the mood of all the young wizards: the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher changed.

Because of Professor Lupine's physical condition, Professor Snape will temporarily substitute for the class.

To be honest, at Snape's level, Defense Against the Dark Arts is more than enough. This is also his dream position. Since returning to Hogwarts, he has applied for it every year, but Dumbledore rejected it every year. up.

But it is still enjoyable to be able to substitute for the class occasionally. After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts knows everything, and it is a more dangerous job than the Dark Lord.

Snape made no secret of his distaste for Lupin, just as he made no secret of his elation and excitement at the moment.

A day to celebrate: Dirty, stinking werewolves go through a post-transformation period of weakness.

perfect!

"Open your textbook, today we are going to learn how to spot a werewolf..."

Snape was speaking enthusiastically on the stage with his same tone of voice that has never changed for thousands of years. Ike pretended to be a good boy and listened carefully, but he was thinking about when he would have the opportunity to get a job in Lupine Please do some research on the wolfbane potion.

The wolfsbane potion invented by Damcos Marcus is a very difficult potion, and only a few potion masters in the entire magic world can brew it.Although the original intention of the creation of Wolfsbane Potion was to alleviate the pain of werewolves transforming and keep them sane, the group of werewolves at the bottom of the magic world were discouraged by the expensive materials and the tedious and complicated brewing process.

It can be said that if Lupine hadn't accepted the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, Lupine would never have been able to drink Wolfsbane Potion.

Even if it was "improved" by Snape.

What Ike admired the most was Snape's ability to "improve" potion formulas.Even if one new item is added to a mature potion formula, it is likely to cause the potion to fail, but Snape was able to add a variety of potion ingredients to make it difficult to swallow under the premise that the effect of the potion was inconvenient. And produce expected side effects.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a potion master...

After leaving ten feet of werewolf homework, Snape dismissed the get out of class contentedly.

As usual, Ike took a step ahead and studied in multiple lines at his own pace. After all, he had a little rest yesterday, which was enough.

After some busy work until half an hour before curfew, Ike came to the Hogwarts kitchen on time.This is a new habit he has developed in the past half a month.

Multi-line learning will not only bring mental exhaustion, but also physical exhaustion.Although Ike would appear in the auditorium on time after six o'clock to feast, he was usually hungry by eight o'clock.If you don't eat more, you won't be able to hold on at all.

Skillfully asking Omi to give him something to eat, Ike sat at the table in the kitchen that almost became his exclusive and started a new round of battle.

A spoonful of mashed potatoes, a chicken leg, a baked rice, a glass of milk and a strawberry pudding, especially the strawberry pudding, is a dessert that you can never tire of eating. It is perfect to eat one after a meal.

"Ike Stride, if I remember correctly."

Ike, who was squinting his eyes and eating pudding happily, suddenly heard someone talking next to him, followed the sound and immediately showed a smiling face.

"I know you, Cedric Diggory, we've met several times." Ike put down the pudding and reached out to shake hands with Cedric. "Hufflepuff?"

"This is the first time we've spoken."

"Yes, Hufflepuff." Cedric showed a bright smile like the sun, inexplicably making people feel kind.

This is a person who is worthy of deep friendship, honest and selfless at first glance, and more importantly, he is recognized as a Hogwarts school grass.

Well, if you really have to choose one.

"It's presumptuous to say that, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, you know, the kitchen is very close to the Hufflepuff lounge." Cedric was obviously a little nervous, "I find that you always come here at this time to eat more stuff, and the dinner party just ended..."

"Sorry, I know we've only just met and that's a bad way to say it, but..."

After hesitating for a long time, Cedric finally turned to the main topic: "Okay, let me just say it, I think you should give up courses that are basically not that important. It is dangerous for you to continue like this."

"What?" Ike looked at Cedric in surprise.

"I mean, it's completely unnecessary to get a few more O's in OWLs." Cedric seemed suddenly relieved, "I also got this little thing when I was in third grade, and Study hard like you, in fact, I did what you are doing now, adding extra meals every night."

"But it won't make you feel better, it will only make you more and more stressed." Cedric said, "I persisted for more than half a year, and my spirit almost collapsed, so I almost gave up on Quidditch."

"Of course, if you think you can, you can completely ignore everything I just said." Seeing the doubts in Ike's eyes growing, Cedric said quickly, "This is just a well-intentioned persuasion, and there is nothing else mean."

"I know." Ike waved his hand, "You don't mean anything else."

"After all, if you really have ulterior motives, you won't be 'the most trustworthy person at Hogwarts'."

After speaking, Ike blinked his eyes.

"Hahaha..." Cedric smiled and denied again and again, "Don't say that, I'm not."

"I just relayed the words of other seniors. That's how they enlightened me back then."

"You also know that after using this thing, it's difficult for others to know your location in time and accurately. If you didn't always come to the kitchen at this time, I wouldn't have the opportunity."

"Of course, I still hope that you can succeed..."

"Getting all twelve OWLs certificates, it feels really good to think about!"
