Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 Christmas Eve

November passed quietly, and with a heavy snow covering the whole school, Ike's disillusionment spell finally succeeded.

This is Ike's longest spell so far, and when he reached Lv1, Ike finally understood what is so difficult about the Disillusionment spell.

Different from other spells, although the illusion spell is mostly cast on the caster himself, the effect of the spell is on other people except the caster. The reason why they couldn't see the objects was that they were actually disturbed by the magical power of the Disillusionment Curse.

That is to say, this spell will have an effect on both the target of the spell and the person looking at the target.

The casting process of the former is no different from other spells, but the difficulty is the latter, which requires a high degree of control over the magic power.

Because of the existence of the waste notepad system, although many of Ike's spells have reached the level of casting spells without battle and silently, but in fact it depends on the effect of the level of spells in the system, and Ike himself does not have that much control over magic power. powerful.

Still the same problem, the existence of the system makes Ike's foundation not enough to support his level of magic spell.

If the foundation is not solid and the house is built too high, problems will definitely occur.

"Quick quick success is not worth it."

Ike learned his lesson and re-read "Standard Spells" and "Theory of Magic".

Learn the new by reviewing the past, read the book a hundred times to see the meaning, in this respect, the wisdom of the ancestors is absolutely correct.

Among other things, with the help of the "Magic Affinity" talent, Ike can clearly feel that his control over the magic power in his body is constantly strengthening.

Just like what Professor McGonagall did when he met for the first time in Santa Maria, it was not the magic spell that made the pen fly in the air at that time, but Ike's own magic power.

Now, Ike just picks up that feeling again and keeps practicing.

Shortly before Christmas, Ike was able to simultaneously control nine pens to fly quickly within a two-meter range centered on him, and change the flight trajectory at any time.

It is undoubtedly quite difficult to do this by magic alone.

It's a pity that Ike can't make the number of manipulations reach double digits, that is to say, nine pens is the current limit.

In the second week of December, Ike applied to Professor Flitwick for a leave of absence.In this regard, Ike has explained to Julian through the school's owl.Although Julian regretted that Ike could not spend Christmas with her and Santa Maria's children, she also respected Ike's decision.And, also sent a brand new sweater.

It's a Santa Maria tradition that every Christmas the children in the orphanage receive one, donated by a local factory in Gloucester.

As for the style, it can only be said that it is very festive.

Ike was overjoyed to receive the sweater when both Stewart and Terry had left school, and he didn't feel like trying it out.

For the students staying in school, the Christmas holiday is actually not as relaxing as imagined.

Professors often assign a lot of homework before the holiday, which already takes up a large part of the holiday.In addition, the prefect will also decorate the entire castle. A young wizard with outstanding grades like Ike is undoubtedly a good helper.

Moreover, there were only a small number of students staying in school, so it was undoubtedly more convenient for the prefects and professors to take care of them. In addition to the additional patrol team due to Filch's strong request, it was not as easy as it was during normal classes.

After helping Professor Flitwick hang the ornaments on the Christmas tree with the Levitation Charm, Ike is finally able to relax a bit.

There are only three Ravenclaws who stay in the first year, Ike, Padma and Morag.

Facing Morag and Padma, Ike had no desire to communicate at all, or in other words, he didn't want to talk to Ike at all.

After half a semester, Ike managed to make himself the strangest one in Ravencrow where there are many "weirds". Except for Stewart and Terry, even Michael and Anthony rarely talked to Ike, and even more Not to mention Morag and the others.

Of course, this result is more because of Ike, whoever told him to be okay used "Snape's gaze" to scare others.

Self-inflicted sin, can't live.

On Christmas Day, when Ike woke up, he only received a poor five presents.Professor McGonagall sent "Transfiguration Today" for a whole year, and folded up all the articles in it that she thought were worth reading; The rear lens will slowly change color.

Stewart sent a brand new notebook that just went with the new quill that Terry had given.As for Hermione, what she gave was an old book, "Curses and Anti-Curses". It can only be said that this gift is very Hermione.

Ike put on the special Christmas sweater sent by Julianne, put on a winter robe over it, and wore the light-changing glasses from Professor Flitwick on his nose, and walked towards the auditorium.

The auditorium on Christmas Day was very lively, and the little wizards staying at school basically spent the day here.Ike saw Harry and Ron playing wizard chess at the long table in Gryffindor. Padma, the Parvati sisters, and Morag were talking and laughing for some reason.

In front of the professor's long table, Dumbledore was recommending the cockroach pile to Snape, as if he couldn't see that Snape's face was stretched out.Even Trelawney, who seldom appeared, was drinking by the side with a glass, squinting her eyes and enjoying herself.

Ike declined Roger's invitation with a smile, sat at the end of the long Ravenclaw table, picked up a mango pudding and ate it.

If nothing else, he will eat and eat until the end of the dinner.

Compared with usual, the Christmas dinner was much richer.In addition to the usual roast beef, steak, mashed potatoes, and roast chicken, there are also a hundred fat roast turkeys.Just from the color point of view, it is undoubtedly attractive.

It's a pity that Ike has never been interested in food like turkey, and the taste is really not good.

Among the noisy crowd, Ike spent a very peaceful Christmas.Hiccupping while walking towards the dormitory, at least I feel satisfied.

The common room was buzzing like a party.Roger kept giving others the magical fireworks he specially prepared. This kind of fireworks purchased from Zuko's Magic Joke Shop will turn into various animals and put various hats on people.Roger was wandering around in the lounge wearing a gorgeous top hat, and behind the hat was a four-legged French fighter, which was very funny.

Smiling, he took the firework that Roger handed over, opened it and released colorful sparks, then a lazy British short stretched its waist, and then lay on Ike's head, it was a match for Roger's firework Very good match.

Watching Roger run aside to give fireworks to others, Ike quietly returned to the dormitory.Lying on the bed, he picked up the "Curses and Anti-Curses" that Hermione had given him, and bored away the time.

When the wall clock on the wall pointed to twelve o'clock, Ike put down the book, put on the Disillusionment Charm skillfully and quietly, and quietly left the Ravenclaw Tower.
