Coming down from the Astronomy Tower, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.

Of all the classes at Hogwarts, only astronomy was Ike's least favorite. A group of young wizards in the middle of the night raised their heads to look at the stars, which in itself was a very silly thing.

It's better now, the weather is getting warmer, and you don't have to maintain a warm-up spell all the time, and it makes you want to die in winter.

Walking alone to the dormitory, not far behind him were Stuart and the others, and everything seemed to be back to Christmas.

The difference is that now everyone will keep an eye on Ike's whereabouts from time to time.

"Something is wrong with me......"

"When I leave one day without saying hello to you, be sure to go to Professor Flitwick as soon as possible!"

"Trust me, I'll never hurt you......"

Ravenclaw didn't have a stupid ass, and Stewart and Terry didn't say anything, just whispered to Michael and Anthony.

After that night, Ike tried to go in and out with several people as much as possible, and would greet him in advance when he wanted to leave alone.

Everyone was waiting for the moment when Ike suddenly disappeared.

Although there is some torment and you need to pay attention to Ike's movements at all times, maybe the little wizards have some yearning for adventure in their bones, and this kind of behavior of a bit of spy warfare actually makes Stewart and others happy.

It was so calm in May, and everyone couldn't hold on anymore.

For more than two months, there have been no problems with Ike, let alone disappearing suddenly, if it weren't for the belief that Ike wouldn't make such a joke, everyone would have given up early.

But even so, it has reached its limit.

Also to the limit was Ike, who suddenly couldn't figure out what Quirrell, or Voldemort, was thinking.

In Comrade Fu's current state, using the Soul Snatching Charm to control himself in a silent and non-fighting manner would inevitably increase the burden on him and Quirrell, which could be seen from Quirrell's worsening face and the increasingly strong strange smell.

It's like a person who is already half-dead and struggling in bed, and if he has to jump on the ground twice, he will not die.

"Maybe I'll go find the unicorn sooner......" Ike counted the days, thinking it should be about the same.

Dark magic comes at a price, and forcibly attached to the back of Quirrell's head like Lao Fu is even more burdensome to the two of them, and if Ike guesses correctly, a trip to the Forbidden Forest is imminent.

On the first Saturday of May, Ike was listening to Stuart and the others in the common room as usual, when suddenly an inexplicable, seductive voice came to mind.

"11 o'clock, Forbidden Forest, don't be spotted by anyone......"

For a moment, Ike's eyes lost focus, and then returned.

Frowning and glancing at the wall clock on the wall, there were still almost two hours.

Ike remained silent, and waited until 10 o'clock to return to the dormitory, where Stuart and Terry were both lying in bed, before walking to the door of the dormitory and looking back at the two of them.

Stewart and Terry noticed Ike's strangeness and couldn't help but increase their attention. Ike looked at the two of them, put on the illusion charm in front of him, leaving a line of golden text, and pushed the door away.

"If I don't come back in three hours, I'll go to Professor Flitwick to the Forbidden Forest!"

Stuart angrily hammered the pillow and turned to Terry and said, "What the hell do you say Ike is doing?" We should go to the professor now! ”

"He has his own plans." Terry reassured, "We have to trust him, he won't do anything that he doesn't know he can't do." ”

"Sleep, sleep, and we'll talk about it in three hours." Stewart turned on the alarm clock, went back to the quilt, and forced him to sleep.

Ike is already familiar with night travel, and after learning the Illusion Charm, he will basically sneak to the forbidden book area every two or three days. Of course, in the past two months, he would explain his whereabouts to Stewart and Terry before leaving, and he had also taken the two with him. But the Forbidden Forest was the first time I had come to Hogwarts.

The Forbidden Forest is definitely a dangerous place, with tall trees as far as the eye can see, complex tree species and an unknown number of magical animals. Hell knows how many dangerous creatures Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn and Hagrid have put in it over the decades.

At night, the Forbidden Forest is pitch black, and although the moon in the sky is bright, it is not clear through the dense foliage.

Ike raised his hand and cast a night vision charm on himself, a small spell that was not included in the Standard Spell, which Ike found in a book in the library about the dangerous areas of the wizarding world, and was written in the corner of the page by the students who did not know which class, and it was very useful at night.

"Forward ......"

"...... to the left"

...... Right

Following the sound that came to his head from time to time, Ike found Quirrell with his back to him in a less densely wooded area.

Lifting the illusion spell, Ike took his wand and gave a respectful salute.

"Professor."

Quirrell was dressed in pitch-black robes, covering his head completely, and the smell of his body was gone, but it gave him the impression that he was about to be in danger and was very dangerous.

Turning his head and glancing at Ike, Quirrell said slowly, "Mr. Strade, as smart as you are, you must have guessed what I did to you." ”

"Yes, Professor." Ike kept his gesture steady, his tone steady, like a machine, "The Soul Snatching Spell, I've seen the effect of this spell in the book, and it's the same thing that happened to me. ”

"I'm curious, Mr. Stredder." Quirrell held his wand and stared at Ike, "I'm sure you can break free from the Snatcher Spell, but you still choose to obey my call......"

"Now, tell me what you think!"

"Of course it's looking for a chance to kill you!"

Ike slandered, eager for Avada to increase his anger and directly paste his face, but his face showed fanaticism, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully, "Only by your side can I learn real magic......"

"Please continue to teach me magic, great Dark Lord!"

Glaring at Quirrell without evasion, Ike's eyes were full of determination and fanaticism, like the most devout believer.

"Good boy......" A weak voice sounded, "Quirrell, it's time for this child to meet his master......"

"But master, you ...... now."

"Let him see me!"

"Yes, master." Quirrell lifted his hood and turned, revealing a distorted, ugly, pale face in front of Ike. Ike took two steps forward, still on one knee, looking up at the face, looking even more fanatical.

"Great Dark Lord, Ike Strider salutes you!"

"Hey~hey~hey~"

"Child, look me in the eye and tell me ......"

"How did you find out?"

Ike didn't shy away from looking at Voldemort: "In today's wizarding world, except for Dumbledore, you are the only one who can release the unforgivable curse silently and without a fight!" ”

"You're the only one with such a high level of black magic attainment!"

"Hey~hey~hey~" Comrade Lao Fu showed a terrifying smile, "Very good, very good, you didn't disappoint me, little Ike ......"

"You can also see that I am very weak now, and I am so weak that I have to attach myself to others......"

"But I'll be back!"

"When I return, I will personally stamp the Dark Mark for you......"

"This is the Dark Lord's promise!"

"My pleasure, great Dark Lord!" Ike bowed his head and replied.

"Get up, kid......" Voldemort was satisfied, and Ike stood up at the sound, still looking at Voldemort's face feverishly.

"Now, there's one thing I need your help with Quirrell, and I don't think you'll let me down."

"Of course, the Great Dark Lord!"

"Very good...... Very good......" After saying so much, Voldemort became weaker and quieter, and Ike watched as Voldemort closed his eyes, and Quirrell put his hood back on.

"Let's go, Ike, we're short on time." With that, Quirrell walked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest

"Okay, Professor......"

Ike agreed, following Quirrell closely, his face still looking fanatical.

A panel suddenly appeared in front of me:

Soul Snatcher Lv2, Learned!

Occlumency: Lv2, Learned!
