Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 36 The Unbreakable Oath
On the eighth floor, the principal's office.

Compared with the offices of Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Quirrell that Ike had been to, the principal's office is more interesting.

In the spacious circular room, there are all kinds of silverware and alchemy gadgets, making a buzzing sound.On the wall are portraits of past principals, both men and women, most of whom looked at Ike curiously, and some fell asleep leaning on the chair.

A small red bird stood on a tall gilded perch, combing its feathers like no one else was watching.

"Milk goes with heaps of cockroaches, doesn't it?" Dumbledore pushed a cup towards Ike and produced a plate covered with crawling heaps of cockroaches.

I picked one up and put it in my milk glass, took a sip, and exclaimed: "It's a very creative way to eat, the feeling of milk mixed with popping chocolate, it's so delicious that it's hard to describe in words!"

Ike smiled, took a sip of the special "chocolate milk", and even narrowed his eyes.

"Few people like this kind of candy, people prefer sizzling bee candies." Dumbledore pushed the glasses on his nose like a kind old man, "It's like Severus and Minerva, I would like to They recommended it many times and were rejected."

"Same, Stuart and Terry don't like it either." Ike threw another one into his mouth, took a sip of milk, felt it for a while before eating.

"You are a very interesting person, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore said, "I have heard many professors mention that this year's Hogwarts has a very good little wizard who has magic spells, transfiguration, and magic tricks." The medicine, the herbal, almost all of the courses are really good."

"Except for flying lessons?"

"Except for flying lessons." Dumbledore nodded with a smile on his face, "It is said that Mrs. Hooch complained that you didn't pay attention to her lessons."

"I'm just not talented." Ike shrugged.

"Of course, of course, everyone has something he is not good at, and they all have their own secrets..." Dumbledore said with a smile, but leaned forward slightly, looking at Ike, "Then Mr. Strider, you can tell me……"

"Why are you there?"

Ike looked into Dumbledore's eyes, showed a standard smile, turned his wrist and a red stone appeared, slowly playing with it in his hand: "I want to see the Sorcerer's Stone, what exactly is it?"

Dumbledore leaned back, his tone a little erratic: "You remind me of someone, Mr. Strider..."

"The same was born in an orphanage, the same has extraordinary talent, and the same showed surprising strength from the very beginning..."

"However, he went astray later, that's another story..."

"Fortunately, you are different from him, Mr. Strider." Dumbledore pushed his glasses, and his eyes were complicated, which made it difficult for people to understand, "Can you tell me that you can follow him? What to do?"

"Learn magic, Professor Dumbledore." Ike looked into Dumbledore's eyes without hesitation, and replied firmly, "That's an excellent opportunity, I can't miss it."

"Sorry..." Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "The Hogwarts courses allow you to learn magic step by step, and the books in the library can also satisfy your pursuit of magical knowledge, and according to my knowledge You know, the restricted area can't stop you, you have to know that there are very few first-year little wizards who can do this."

"That's not a relaxing answer, Mr. Strider."

"What if I make an unbreakable oath with you?" Ike said, "Never hurt my friend, never harm Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore's eyes flickered, as if there was a wonderful power that made people inadvertently addicted to it.After a long silence, Dumbledore couldn't help but admire: "Unexpectedly, you have already learned Occlumency."

"Yes, I found related books from the restricted area, and they are very detailed." Ike replied.

"So, we need a witness." Dumbledore waved his wand, and a silver-white phoenix appeared from the tip of the wand, and quickly disappeared into the principal's office.

After a while, Snape walked over quickly, his robe was lifted by the wind, and stood beside Ike coldly.

"Severus, we need you as a witness to fulfill an unbreakable oath." Dumbledore stood up and came to the other side of Ike.Ike also stood up, and Dumbledore held each other's right arms.

Snape said nothing, and tapped his wand on the arms they were holding.

"Mr. Strider..." Dumbledore looked at Ike, "You should know that once the ceremony starts, it cannot be stopped, and those who break the oath will die miserably..."

"I know." Ike interrupted Dumbledore's next words, and turned to look at Snape with a cold face aside, "Professor Snape, I'm ready."

Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other, nodded, and asked loudly: "Ike Stryde, can you promise that you will never use magic to harm innocent people?"

"I promise."

"Can you promise never to hurt someone who truly considers you a friend?"

"I promise."

"Can you promise never to do anything that would endanger Hogwarts?"

"I promise."

During the question and answer, three hot red threads sprayed out from the tip of Snape's staff, and wrapped around the place Dumbledore and Ike were holding.Ike felt a burning pain, and the three red lines gradually melted into the skin until they disappeared.

"The ceremony is complete." Snape put away his wand, and said the first words after entering the door.

"Thank you, Severus." Dumbledore nodded slightly, and then said to Ike, "Mr. Strider, you can keep the Philosopher's Stone until the last day of July, when you need to return it to me , its owner still needs it."

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore." Ike nodded, put the Philosopher's Stone back into his pocket, raised his finger to the pile of cockroaches on the desk, and asked, "Can I take some away?" ?”

"Yes." Dumbledore waved his left hand, and more than half of the cockroaches on the plate flew up and got into a paper bag.Ike took the paper bag and nodded slightly to the two: "If there is nothing else, can I leave?"

"Of course, it's getting late, I think you need to take a good rest." Dumbledore nodded, watched Ike leave the principal's office, and then sat back on the chair.

Snape kept watching everything coldly until Ike left before saying, "Is that the end? Dumbledore."

"We have made an unbreakable oath," Dumbledore replied.

"So you believe it? The little wizard who can play the Dark Lord around, are you sure he can't find a way to bypass the oath?"

"I know that an unbreakable oath cannot bind him, even if he made it first, Severus." Dumbledore was silent for a while before continuing, "About a month ago, I went to Corner Lane, I got some very interesting news from Ollivander..."

"It is difficult for a wizard who uses unicorn hair as a core to succumb to black magic. The experience handed down by the Ollivander family is still trustworthy."

"I think you're getting old!" Snape snapped.

"I don't deny that I am indeed older, Severus." Dumbledore replied with a smile, "But I can still see some things clearly."

"Also, I think I need to apologize to you, there is one thing I didn't tell you..." Dumbledore blinked and suddenly looked playful, "Strider likes cockroach piles very much, I think I have the same Lovers are trustworthy."

"What do you think, Severus?"
