Chapter 9: The First Intimate Encounter with Voldemort

Professor Binns is definitely not like any other ghost.

Generally speaking, once a ghost becomes a ghost, it will naturally lose the ability to cast spells, but Professor Binns clearly retains the magic of hypnosis and awakening. As soon as they spoke, the students in the classroom naturally fell asleep, and once the class ended, they would naturally wake up.

Stewart stretched, and secretly said in his heart that this magic history class was really as the seniors said, it was very easy to sleep. It's just that the first time I was not prepared, it would be better to sneak a pillow over next time.

Yawned in unison with Terry, who had also just woken up, and beckoned Ike back to the common room to play. Ike shook his head and put the textbook in Stewart's arms, the two thick copies of the History of Magic were heavy, and Stewart was not paying attention and almost didn't hold on.

"I'll go to the library and help me get the books back first."

"Don't you work so hard, Ike." Stewart let out a wail, "It's only the first day of school!" ”

"I'm just going to see what's in the library." Ike shrugged, "I'll see you later." ”

Saying goodbye to his roommates, Ike went straight to the library.

Hogwarts' library is worthy of its name as the largest and only wizarding school in the UK, with thousands of bookshelves and hundreds of narrow passages that catch your eye. There are long tables at intervals in the passage, and chairs are placed on either side of the table for the young wizards to use.

Tens of thousands of books were neatly arranged on the shelves, the innermost part separated by iron bars, with magic on them, and the only entrance was the desk of the librarian, Mrs. Irma Pins. Without the professor's approval, no one would have been able to slip under Mrs. Pince's nose into the forbidden section during opening hours.

On the first day of school, there were also many students in the library, most of whom were facing OWLs and NEWTs exams above the fifth grade, especially the fifth graders, who had to face the double pressure of schoolwork and pressure.

Ike glanced at it and turned around, searching through the shelves according to the index for a while before finally finding a near-complete copy of the Standard Spell.

Miranda Goshak created The Standard Spell and became a universal textbook for Charms in the three major European schools of magic, but the whole book was too thick and included some of the dark arts. After discussion by the International Federation of Wizards, it was divided into five books, from beginner to level 5, and the black magic part of it was cut.

Hogwarts naturally has a collection of the full version of "Standard Spells", but in the forbidden book section, all Ike can find is a collection of "Standard Spells" for grades 1 to 5.

But that's enough.

Standard Spells: Beginner doesn't deal with attack spells, they're everyday spells like levitation spells, illumination spells, and the like. Ike is well aware that in the same grade as the Savior, he can relax a little in the first year, but from the second year he will face the threat of basilisk attacks, and in the third year there will be Dementors.

Only this whole semester is stable.

What's more, the devil knows how chaotic the plot will be because of Ike's existence.

Before he learned the Transfiguration Charm and was able to sneak into the forbidden area, this "Standard Spell" was the only source for Ike to learn the charm.

Petrification Spell, Stun Spell, Disarming Spell, Crushing Spell, Ike roughly flipped through it, and the common spells in his memory can basically be found on it, but there is no illusion spell.

But for the time being, it's enough.

Walking to Mrs. Pince's desk with the Standard Spell, Ike gently put the book on the table and whispered, "Mrs. Pince, I want to borrow this book." ”

Mrs. Pince pushed her glasses, glanced at Ike, then at the Standard Spell on the table, and said as she filled out the borrowing list, "As a first-year freshman, I want you to know the rules for borrowing books. ”

"If you cut, tear, break, stain, damage, throw, fall, or in any other way damage, abuse, or desecrate this book, I will make you suffer the most terrible consequences within my right."

"Trust me, you won't want to know what you're up against."

Mrs. Pince made a copy of the list, clipped the original to the first page of the Standard Spell, and handed it to Ike.

"There is time for the book to be borrowed, and I hope to see the book in two weeks' time."

"As you wish, Mrs. Pince."

Ike nodded slightly and replied softly.

Leaving the library, Ike made a beeline for the auditorium. Dinner at Hogwarts begins at seven, and it's already a quarter past seven.

Dinner was a little better than lunch, with a few more stews and plenty of fried chicken.

As soon as Ike entered the auditorium, he saw a red-haired lion cub performing a stunt of opening the bow left and right with a chicken leg in one hand, and subconsciously glanced at it a few times, and then came to the Ravenclaw table, still meatball pasta with pan-fried veal, plus a glass of rich pumpkin juice.

It's impossible to try the stew, and that thing doesn't look as good as the Northeast stew!

After dinner, the other four eaglets were late. After saying hello to the others, Ike returned to the common room, sat down on a small couch in the corner, put on "closed earbuds and listened", and immersed himself in the "Standard Spell".

I didn't notice when Stewart and the others returned, and by the time Ike came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the common room.

Closing the book, Ike quietly pushed open the door to his bedroom, and Stewart and Terry were asleep.

With a silent spell, Ike raised his hand to let the book fly to the desk, changed into his pajamas, and quickly got into the bed, but his mind was still thinking about the contents of "Standard Spell".

Knowledge mastery is more important than imagined, and even if the spells in "Standard Spells" are a little more complex and profound, they still don't bother Ike. After an afternoon and a night of study, Ike had almost memorized the spell written on it, and the rest was successfully used.

Only once a spell is successfully cast, the spell level will be displayed on Ike's notepad system.

Of course, this is an opportunity, and it's not yet time to use the Room of Requirement.

Before finding and learning the Transfiguration Charm, be cautious.

Upon waking up, Ike heads to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor with Stewart and Terry. Unfortunately, the Ravenclaw and Slytherin freshmen became the first of all the freshmen to get up close and personal with the pungent and foul-smelling smell of Querinus Quirrell.

The Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom was already small, and it was tightly locked up by Quirrell, and the smell inside couldn't get out, and the lethality increased a few points. As soon as Ike entered, he couldn't help but sneeze.

It turns out that not only yawning, but also sneezing is contagious.

As soon as Ike finished, Stewart on the side sneezed, and then the Slytherin snake, who had been put up with it for a while, and Clark and Goyle couldn't stop at all.

Then there was a flurry of shocks, and Quirrell on the podium showed a clear hint of embarrassment.

This is sin. Merlin once said that people can't perfectly control their body's knee-jerk reactions, and neither can wizards.

After sneezing, I inhaled subconsciously, and the strange smell seemed to rush to my brain, and I felt dizzy for a while.

"Whirlwind sweep!"

Quirrell's reaction was so irritated that Quirrell took out his wand and cleaned up the air in the classroom, and sure enough, it was much better, at least no one sneezed anymore.

"I'm ...... It's Querry...... Rinus Quirrell, you ...... Your Dark Arts Defense...... Defense Professor, now, please ...... Please turn ...... Open the textbook and open the ...... Start the class. ”

Ike turned to the first chapter of the textbook, which was a common source of dark creatures and defenses. Ike, who had read the entire book during the holidays, couldn't memorize it from beginning to end, but he knew the general content.

If the normal teaching process is followed, it should be a lecture on a dark creature to explain its defense methods, and a few theoretical lessons are mixed with a practical lesson. It's a pity that since the job application of a certain existence that can't be named failed, the level of Defence Against the Dark Arts professors has been uneven, and it can be roughly divided into those who are a little capable, bastards, and junks who are not even as good as bastards.

Quirrell originally belonged to the class with some ability, but now he has been distracted by other things and has become a bastard.

Fortunately, Ike, who had been mentally prepared, didn't take Quirrell's class seriously at all, just pretended to listen carefully, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Do you want to find a way to get Voldemort to talk something? The chance to face the Dark Lord without being treated by Arvada is only for one year......"
