Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 66 Uneasy
In the current British magic world, there are actually not many people who know about Horcruxes.

Dumbledore counts as one, Horace Slughorn counts as one, and others may have heard of it, but it should be limited to this.

Although Ike knew the existence of Horcruxes, he only knew how many Comrade Lao Fu had.He has no interest in this evil magic.

Moreover, the only black magic book known to clearly record the method of making Horcruxes, "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic", is still safely hidden in Dumbledore's office, and Ike has no choice but to read it even if he wants to.

"Was it then?"

Recalling the scene he saw before coming out of the Horcrux world, Ike felt that Comrade Xiaofu used some method he didn't know to abandon the notebook at that time, and attached it to Xiao Hei's body, and then took advantage of Ai Ke sneaked away when he was in a daze.

After all, if there is no Comrade Xiao Fu, even if Xiao Hei is given a hundred basilisk courage, he would not dare to run away.

Ike is still very confident about his educational methods.

"It's troublesome..."

In this confrontation with Comrade Xiao Fu, Ike lost everything.The clues to the Slytherin treasure were not found, Comrade Xiao Fu was not killed, and because of the forced use of ancient magic, he became mentally depressed, and lost his pet at the end of the day.

The point is, before this, Ike was in the open, and Comrade Xiaofu was in the dark. He could advance, attack, retreat or defend. Now that the offense and defense are changing, he has to be wary of Comrade Xiaofu's plots and sneak attacks every day.

It's too hard!

After chatting with Harry for a while, Madam Pomfrey came back with a huge glass bottle.There was a long bone of an unknown creature inside, soaked in a brown liquid, and would bubble up from time to time, much like the potion brewed by an old witch in cartoons.

"Boom!"

Madam Pomfrey put the glass bottle directly on Ike's bedside table, and a porcelain bowl floated over with a wave of her wand.Scoop a bowl and pass it to Ike.

"Drink it, this is my treasure, it is very helpful to restore the spirit."

Both Ike and Harry were frightened by the large pot of potion, and unconsciously backed away.

Reaching out to take the porcelain bowl, Ike looked at the potion in the bowl, then at the huge glass bottle next to him, swallowed, and asked, "Madam Pomfrey, do you want to drink this bottle... ?”

"Of course!" Madam Pomfrey narrowed her eyes with a smile, "You will stay here for three days, as long as you drink all of these within three days..."

"However, if you haven't finished drinking, you can leave the hospital when you finish drinking."

"Okay, I'll drink!"

Ike closed his eyes, pinched his nose, picked up the bowl and said into his mouth.As soon as I took the potion, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was unexpectedly delicious.

Sweet, sweet, sweet.

Looking at Madam Pomfrey with questioning eyes, Madam Pomfrey shook her head with a smile.Ike shrugged his shoulders and stopped exploring what was in this thing.

He felt that if he knew the name and ingredients of this potion, he would never be able to drink it again.

After drinking the potion and lying on the bed for a while, Professor Flitwick came over, followed by Stuart and Terry.

"How is it, Mr. Strider?" Professor Flitwick asked aloud, clasping his hands on the edge of the bed.

"I just drank the potion, and I'm much better." Ike sat up quickly.

"That's good, that's good..." Professor Flitwick pushed the glasses on his nose, "But, Mr. Strider, you need to explain to me why you skipped Defense Against the Dark Arts class? "

"Professor..." Ike showed a hint of embarrassment at the right time, "I don't think Professor Lockhart can..."

"Okay! I see." Professor Flitwick reacted as soon as he finished asking, and immediately stopped Ike's next answer.

He knows what level Lockhart is, and Ike can't learn much from him.

"Cough, cough, cough." Professor Flitwick coughed a few times, and continued, "Although the circumstances are excusable, it is a fact that you skipped class, so Ravenclaw will deduct 5 points."

"Okay, professor." Ike didn't care about the deductions.

For Ravenclaws, points are deducted, just add them back.

A total of 150 points were deducted for the big brawl before, and it didn't take long for it to be smoothed over.

"Have a good rest, Mr. Strayed." Professor Flitwick nodded, and then patted Stuart and Terry behind him, "Come back at noon, next is my Charms class, gentlemen !"

"Let's see you at noon, Ike!" The two of them just came over to check on Ike's situation, and since they had nothing to do, they said hello and left.

The days in the school hospital were very long, and Ike finished the big glass bottle of potion on the second day of his stay.He applied to Madam Pomfrey for early discharge, but was ruthlessly rejected.

He stayed for another day abruptly, but was discharged from the hospital with Harry one day.

In three days, Ike got to know Harry better.Your Excellency the Savior seems to have a little familiarity, as long as a few words are added, the topic will naturally open up.

Moreover, Ike discovered that Harry didn't seem to have the concept of keeping secrets. When there was no one in the school hospital, he would discuss last year's Philosopher's Stone and this year's Chamber of Secrets incident with him. This kind of heart-wrenching state made Ike very distressed.Several hints didn't work, and in the end Ike just gave up.

"Maybe this is Gryffindor..."

During the hospitalization, Hermione and Ron came many times, almost every day when they had time.Ron would bring Harry some nice little treats, mostly with meals.Hermione would hold a thick note to highlight the key points for Harry, repeatedly emphasizing that those are the required content of the exam.

Whenever this happens, Ike will lie on the bed and watch while eating snacks.

Inexplicably, I was a little envious.

Although Stuart and Terry come every day, they don't come as frequently as Hermione and Ron.Moreover, when he came, he would neither bring snacks nor highlight points, and Ike was not even willing to ask Stuart to bring over the paper bag he put on the bedside of the dormitory.

At the beginning, Harry intervened to persuade Stuart to meet Ike's request, but he also rebelled after learning what was in the paper bag, and resolutely prevented that strange thing from appearing in the school hospital.Harry even paid for most of the candy for this.Most of the time, he could only watch Ike eat his sizzling bee candies, and he could only gnaw on the licorice wand.

At the same time, he had to endure Ike's mental attack.

"Harry, according to my calculations, Hermione will be here in half an hour. Have you read the key points she drew for you yesterday?"

"Harry, what do your flavored beans taste like? What? Rotten eggs!"

Many times, Harry felt that Ron was right:

Ike Stride, is a strange and feel...!
