Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 80 The Man in the Shadows

Romantic Valentine's Day, just messed up by a bunch of ugly dwarves.

During the dinner, Lockhart happily announced the results of the day to the little wizards, which made those who received the Valentine's Day cards more or less blush.

Pure shame.

Looking at those people who bowed their heads, Stuart let out a long sigh of relief.On the way back to the dormitory, he was also blocked by the dwarf.The first reaction was to sneak away. After being caught up by the dwarf, he didn't accept his fate like others, but went up with a combination of punches, and beat the dwarf away with three punches and two kicks.

Of course, Ike would not tell him that he secretly used the binding spell to immobilize that ugly guy.

Minus the pink Lockhart and the pink attire of the auditorium, the dinner was still a feast.In addition to the regular dishes, there are unlimited chocolates of all kinds.

After a long absence, Ike saw a pile of cockroaches on the dining table, and immediately grabbed a handful and put them away.

Of course, he was taking advantage of Stuart and others not paying attention.Ike is not that stupid, let them find out that they will definitely be ruthlessly suppressed.

At the end of the dinner, the little wizards left one by one.

Ike was a little stuffed, and he walked in the corridor with Stuart and Terry, who also ate too much, and walked slowly towards the Ravenclaw Tower.

"It's a pity. After beating the dwarf, I should have snatched the greeting card." Stuart burped, with his hands behind his back, and his words were full of regret and show off, "I don't know who sent me the card." of it."

"You can ask that dwarf again." Terry replied casually.

"Ghost knows where they are now, and what if they were found, the greeting card may have been lost long ago."

"If you really want to know, I happen to know where those dwarves went." Ike put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile, "When I left the auditorium just now, I noticed that those dwarves were surrounding Lockhart. I don't know what you're talking about."

"If we go back now, maybe they haven't left yet."

Ike looked at Stuart and blinked: "How about it, do you want to go back?"

Stuart was persuaded, and after thinking for a while, he made up his mind: "Go! Go back!"

The three immediately turned around and walked towards the auditorium.Fortunately, I didn't go far and came back within 2 minutes.

At this time, there were not many people in the auditorium, only Lockhart was left on the professor's seat, and there were still a few people chatting on the long tables in each college.

As soon as they entered the gate, the three of Ike saw the group of dwarves still surrounding Lockhart, making a lot of noise, and they didn't know what to say.Only when I got closer did I understand.

It turned out to be a labor dispute!
"Listen! I don't care if you are a recipient of the Order of Merlin or some best-selling author, you must increase our pay!"

A dwarf stood on a chair brought from nowhere, pointed at Lockhart's nose and said, with an extremely bad attitude.

"We are injured! This is a work injury! Especially Ryan Giggs, look at him, look at him! How he was beaten!"

Lockhart looked a bit embarrassed, the clothes on his body were wrinkled, maybe the two sides had been torn for a while before.But in this matter, the attitude is still firm.

"Impossible! We signed an agreement!" Lockhart slammed the table with his left hand, grabbed the parchment he took out with his right hand, and shouted, "It's clearly written on it! During work I don't need to be responsible for anything that happens!"

"What's more, I have given you enough!"

"That money is not even enough for Ziggs' medical expenses!" the dwarf insisted, and also slapped the table and shouted.

"Don't talk about it, as long as his injury has not reached St. Mungo's Magic Injury Hospital!" Lockhart stood up abruptly, "Don't be too greedy, 50 Galleons are enough to give him an amputation operation Already!"

"Come back, don't run!"

Lockhart walked out while talking, and after breaking free from the obstruction of several dwarves, he ran away.The twelve dwarfs chased after him, yelling and persevering.

The three of them watched the farce dumbfounded, only to feel that their eyes were opened.

"My God! 50 Galleons! Lockhart is rich." Terry sighed.Coming from a wizard family, he was well aware of Garen's purchasing power. It was no exaggeration to say that if he saved a little, the money would be enough for an ordinary wizard family to spend for two months.

"He's a best-selling author." The black fan curled his lips. "Think about it, we've brought him a lot of royalties this year. This guy doesn't need money at all."

"So, do you still want to ask? They have already run far away." Ike interrupted Stuart's chatter, pointing to the door of the auditorium and said, "If you catch up now, you can still stop it."

"Forget it." Stuart waved his hand, "Looking at it like this, it's impossible for those dwarves to keep the greeting cards that haven't been sent out, and it's useless to look for them."

"Don't! I think it's better to ask."

Stuart looked suspiciously at the excited Ike, looked him up and down a few times, and asked, "Ike, there's something wrong with you!"

"Hey..." Terry, who was on the sidelines, had already seen through it, and immediately said, "Of course he has no intentions. Didn't you pay attention? That dwarf named Ziggs was the one you beat!"

"With the temper of these dwarves, if you really seek them out, there will definitely be conflicts."

"Damn it!" Stuart also reacted, and put his arms around Ike's neck, "You want to see my joke!"

"Die! Ike!"

Stuart didn't use any force at all, and Ike also made a look of fear at the right time, and then while he was not paying attention, he broke free with a little force, and ran out laughing.Stuart didn't give up, and chased after him with a smile.

The three of them fought like this, until Ike ran to the moving stairs and stopped, and was punched twice by Stuart as if in revenge.

After running a little fiercely, the three of them took a short rest before walking up the stairs to the eighth floor.

There is still a distance from the stairs to the Ravenclaw Tower, and you need to go through a long corridor.Ike walked slowly behind with the pile of cockroaches he had taken away at the dinner party.

For Ike's strange hobby, Stuart and Terry are used to it, but it still feels a little uncomfortable to watch him eat.Ike knew it, and quietly lagged behind, only biting but not chewing.

When you get along with friends, if others put up with your bad habits, you have to think about others.

Otherwise, it is really easy to have no friends.

While walking slowly, Ike suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, as if someone had pinched it with his nails.Just about to pat the restless Jimmy, Ike suddenly reacted, with a right hand, and the wand quickly slipped into his hand from his sleeve.

As soon as he started, Ike saw a familiar green light coming from the shadow in front of him.With a movement of his feet, his left hand pushed Stuart and Terry aside, and his body jumped directly to the front.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and the green light was just stopped and scattered.

Ike only felt that his back was covered with cold sweat, and his heart was pounding.Ignoring Professor Flitwick's instructions at this time, with a flick of the wrist, a red light flew in the direction of the green light, raised his left hand slightly, and a ball of light appeared, closely following the red light.

"Protect yourself!" Ike said loudly quickly, his eyes fixed on the shadow in front of him.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the two spells, one in front and one in the back, arrived, and the white light exploded directly, illuminating the area brightly.

Ike only saw a black shadow flash past and disappear instantly in the exploding white light.Running quickly, it happened to be the angle between the two walls, and was half blocked by a stone pillar, but apart from this one, there was an empty corridor around, and there was no place for people to hide at all.

"Who is it?" Ike was looking carefully, and Stuart and Terry, who had just been pushed by him, also came over, looking at the corner of the empty corridor and asking.

"I don't know." Shaking his head, Ike frowned, "But obviously, we're in trouble."
