Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 77 On and Off
"It's so nostalgic..."

Ike squatted aside, watching Professor Snape busily dismembering the basilisk, the Sorting Hat on his head suddenly let out an admiration.

"What do you miss?" Ike looked a little bored and a little disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to secretly hide a basilisk fang, but under the watchful eyes of the four professors, he couldn't do it at all.

With Snape's character, even a basilisk scale would not be left to Ike.

What's more, the sword of Gryffindor disappeared just after Professor McGonagall completed the feat of slaying the snake.Ike also tried several times to pull the sword out of the Sorting Hat, but only got a lot of ridicule from the Sorting Hat.

"I miss the way Minerva wields Gryffindor's sword!" The Sorting Hat moved, as if very excited, "God knows how long I've been waiting for this day! It's been so many years, there is no one except Minerva Someone drew the sword."

"Really do not have?"

"No." The Sorting Hat sighed, "It's an enchanted sword, and only a true Gryffindor can pull out the Gryffindor sword when needed."

"Obviously, there hasn't been a Gryffindor wizard since Minerva who has the spirit of Gryffindor."

Ike didn't react too much, he was eager to tell the chattering hat that without him, a little wizard would have drawn the sword of Gryffindor this year, and there would be more to come.

All his thoughts are now on how to get some basilisk parts out of Snape's hand, at least one tooth is required, and poking the Horcrux with something is accurate, very simple and quick.

"Ike..." Professor Flitwick came over, and Ike quickly stood up with the Sorting Hat on and bowed back.

Professor Flitwick waved his hand, pulled Ike a little further away, and said, "Don't be too nervous, I just want to chat with you..."

"Speaking of which, you should have found that gift..."

"Yes, Professor." Ike replied softly, "I found it, but the things in it are too profound, and I can only understand a very small part of it."

"It's already very good, at least I don't have your ability at your age." Professor Flitwick smiled and pushed the glasses on his nose, "Ancient magic, magic from the era of the Big Four and the magic we use now Your magic is actually three different kinds of magic, you find it difficult, but you just haven't found the right way..."

"How about your ancient runes? I often see you holding that "Detailed Explanation of Ancient Runes"."

"It should be okay..." Ike replied with a hint of frustration.This is not pretended by him. Up to now, there is no skill display of ancient runes on the waste notepad system. Obviously, according to the system's standards, Ike's understanding of ancient runes is not deep enough.

But according to the comparison results between himself and senior students, there is actually not much difference, and even slightly better in use.

Otherwise, Ike would not be able to create the combined magic of the magic circle and the ancient runes.

"I probably understand." Flitwick looked at Ike, thought for a while and replied, "Ike, you must know that ancient runes are actually a language, and the most important thing to learn a new language is... ..."

"Speak more, write more? But professor, ancient runes can cause magic reactions."

"Indeed." Professor Flitwick said, "So I think the most important thing you should do now is not continue to learn new magic, but try to forget magic."

"Forget magic?" Ike was a little confused. He felt that Professor Flitwick was playing with him.

"That's right! I noticed that even in normal times you are used to using magic to solve problems, which creates a problem. You can only let it go, not take it away..."

"Using magic frequently can indeed improve the wizard's control over magic and magic power, but it can also become dependent on magic..."

"Professor, I don't quite understand. Is this a bad thing?" Ike was completely confused and asked quickly.

"Of course it's not a bad thing." Flitwick scratched his head, organized his language a bit, and then replied, "You can try to understand it this way..."

"A wizard is a container, and the magic power is the water inside. When we release magic, we open a small hole in the container so that the water inside can flow out. A magic is a small mouth, and the more magic you master, There will be more mouths."

"In your current situation, you can open that particular opening without thinking, but you can't actively close it and let the water come out of another opening."

Professor Flitwick stood a little further away, and said to Ike: "You can try it, use the lighting spell now, but the spell I ask you to recite is the levitation spell."

"These are the two spells you are best at, aren't they?"

"Come on, try it!"

Ike held the wand, and according to Flitwick's request, he shouted: "Wingardim Leviosa!"

As soon as the voice fell, Professor Flitwick floated up in response.

Dispelling this little magic casually, Professor Flitwick said with a smile: "You see the problem, Ike."

"Yes, Professor." Ike nodded slightly, frowning.

This result was beyond his expectation.The Levitation Spell and the Illumination Spell were the first magics that Ike reached Lv6, and after so long, Ike played various tricks.

Originally thought that Professor Flitwick's request could be easily fulfilled, but the moment the spell was uttered, the flow of magic power in the body suddenly changed!
"You can practice according to this method and increase the difficulty a little bit. In addition to being good for your magic power control, it can also confuse opponents in battle."

"Think about it, when the spell you recite is the Explosion Curse, but the real magic you release is the Fire Curse, won't it make your opponent flustered?"

He nodded subconsciously. Although he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't find it for a while.

"Okay professor, I will practice." Ike decided to agree first, this practice method is really useful.

After the practice meeting, facing Comrade Xiaofu again, you can recite the incantation of the Fiendish Curse, but it is Avada who is released.

He must be caught off guard!
"This is not an easy thing, especially for you. You have already regarded some spells as instincts, and it is quite troublesome to control them again."

"I will do it, Professor." Ike smiled brightly, and Professor Flitwick nodded in satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while, and Professor Snape on the other side finally dealt with the basilisk, not even letting go of the snake blood on the ground, cleaning it up completely.

Ike even squatted down and searched carefully, except for the gravel, there was no trace of the basilisk.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back." Professor McGonagall took the sorting hat from Ike's head and held it in his hand. He looked at his watch, it was already late, and immediately called everyone to leave.

"It's time to go back." Snape casually agreed, and Ike couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Of course you have to go back quickly so that you can put the basilisk in your private collection."

Evacuate it sooner or later!
　Explain the update problem of these two days:
　　Starting yesterday, it started to snow heavily here, and I followed the call to sweep the snow for two days. In fact, the chapter in the early morning of yesterday was coded when the unit was on duty.

　　I watched the EDG game last night until after 1 o'clock, and got up again at 7 o'clock this morning to clear the snow
　　I'm numb, begging for forgiveness!
