Chapter 82 Course Selection
Snape must have spoken to Dumbledore, and the next day Ike clearly felt that the castle was being tightened.
There was a lot of iron armor in the hallways, around the corners of the stairs, and near the abandoned classrooms that were rarely frequented, and they were motionless with spears and axes in their hands. When nothing happens, these iron armors are just decorations, but when the need arises, they are warriors who are not afraid of life and death.
Filch is even more elusive, always appearing in some remote place, and shooing away the little wizards who are wandering around. Of course, in the eyes of the vast majority of young wizards, Filch was just venting his emotions.
Just like he usually does.
To be honest, Ike didn't know where to find Comrade Xiaofu at all, and the bitter fruit of the plot change made his head extremely big, and he didn't even have a reliable guess.
But it is certain that Comrade Xiaofu's ultimate goal is him, so Ike deliberately went alone, hoping that Comrade Xiaofu would not be able to help but take the initiative to jump out and attack him.
It's a pity that Xiaofu is not a tyrannical old Fu, and there is no hard injury in terms of IQ. With such an obvious flaw, you can't be fooled.
Every night, Michael and Anthony would come to Ike's dorm. They are also constantly on the lookout for anything unusual around them. But like Ike, he got nothing.
Ike could clearly see that Comrade Xiaofu's threat had made their spirits a little dazed. As a result, I became more and more anxious, and even affected my normal learning.
During Potions class, Ike misplaced the materials and nearly blew the cauldron off. Snape was very angry about this, and after a strange robbery, he also deducted 10 points from Ravenclaw.
That night, when Ike returned to his dormitory after a routine tour of the castle, he saw the four of them sitting neatly on their chairs, all with serious expressions.
"Ike, sit down first." Terry said, pointing to a chair.
"What's wrong?" Ike squeezed out a smile and looked at the four who were still serious.
"You need to rest, Ike." "It's just a week for you to almost blow up a cauldron in Potions class, and that's not like something you did," Stewart advised. ”
"Everybody is anxious." Terry continued, "But you don't have to make yourself so tired. ”
"Every night, you'll go out while we're asleep, won't you?"
Seeing Ike nod, Terry continued, "We all know that you'd love to catch that bad guy quickly, but you should know that it's not an easy task. ”
"There's not even a clue, you're doing useless work, Ike."
"I know, but this time it's different, he's really going to ......" Ike was interrupted by Stewart before he could finish. I saw Stewart take out the speculum from his pocket and say, "It's going to hurt people, right, but you also prepared in advance, and you gave us this speculum." ”
"Unless it's broken, we're safe."
"But last time it didn't ......react," Ike said.
"He wasn't targeting us last time, Ike." Terry said, "You probably didn't bring your own speculum that day." ”
Ike was silent for a moment, lowered his head slightly, and after a long moment raised his head again, and said, "I understand." Rest assured, I'll be mindful of my situation, and what happened in Potions class won't happen again. ”
"That's good." Stewart clapped his hands and smiled on his face, "Now, let's rest!" You need to get a good night's sleep! ”
"Maybe when you wake up, you have a clue?"
Ike wanted to tell them that his sleep was actually very good, that the effect of the stun spell was superb, and that the accident in Potions class was just something he was thinking about at the time. However, after seeing these four faces that revealed a hint of worry, the words were not spoken.
I slept peacefully for the night, and the next day I didn't have a clue to jump out on my own as Stewart said, and it was still an ordinary day.
Ike loosened the tight string in his heart a little, and stopped wandering around the castle on purpose. He understood that he had made a very serious mistake.
Not trusting the abilities of others......
Traversers are not omnipotent, and it is impossible to do everything well. In terms of Charms alone, Ike is indeed stronger than many seventh-year wizards, but there is still a big gap compared to Professors like Snape and Flitwick, let alone Dumbledore, and the battle with Snape at the Dueling Club is already telling.
In this world, there are so-called "sons of the plane".
More than a month has passed in such a stable way, and the flowers and trees of Hogwarts are full of greenery, and there are no accidents. This kind of stable life even gave Ike the illusion that Comrade Xiaofu would not make trouble again.
On the first Sunday in April, when Ike and Stewart and the others returned from the auditorium, they suddenly found a piece of parchment appearing at the end of their bed. When I picked it up, it was a course selection schedule.
"Is it already this time?" Stewart looked at his parchment, "I almost forgot, we'll be in third grade in the second half of the year." ”
"Divination class, arithmetic divination class, magical beast protection, ancient runifin and Muggle studies, Ike, Terry, what do you choose?"
Without thinking, Ike ticked each of the five lessons and handed the parchment to Stewart. Stewart took it and looked at it, and immediately replied in surprise: "You actually chose them all?" ”
"Of course." Ike nodded.
"But I've heard Roger say that a lot of the lessons here are conflicting!"
"I think the professors will fix that." Ike laughed, "Besides, it's not like no one has ever done this before. ”
"Okay." Stuart handed back Ike's parchment, and thought about it for a long time before he could check the divination class with Muggle studies.
"I think these two are right for me. I've heard that divination classes are very easy to get O, let alone Muggle studies, and I'm from a Muggle family! ”
After saying that, Stewart leaned over to Terry and said, "You chose the Divination Class, Ancient Runifin, and Magical Beast Protection?" ”
Before Terry could reply, Stewart hooked the magical animal protection on his parchment.
"You've all chosen so much, doesn't it seem like I'm out of place if I'm too little?"
Ike and Terry were amused by Stewart's behavior, and it took a while to stop. Stewart didn't care, and waited until the two of them had laughed enough before asking, "Do you want to send it to Professor Flitwick now?" ”
"Of course." Terry replied, "And aren't you curious, how does the professor solve the problem of Ike's class conflict?" ”
The three of them left the dormitory with a smile, and just happened to meet Michael and others in the common room, so they simply left together.
When he came to Professor Flitwick's office, the professor was talking to the three girls in Padma, and when he saw Ike and the others entering, he immediately beckoned and said, "Gentlemen! I guess you're here to send out the timetable, too! ”
"Come, let me see, what have you all chosen?"
Ike and the others handed over the parchment one by one, and Flitwick looked at them one by one, and said as he looked at them, "Trelawney's divination class is one of the students' favorite, and almost everyone will choose it......"
"Arithmetic divination is also good, and there is also a magical beast protection class, if you like magical beasts, this class is perfect for you ......"
"Oh! Ancient Runiwen! Very good! It's difficult, but it does help you a lot with your magic skills......"
"Muggle Studies...... Kindness...... It was nice too......"
Professor Flitwick kept a record of the courses each person had chosen, without pause.
"Alright, kids, I've written it all down, and you can go enjoy a great weekend!" Professor Flitwick pushed his glasses, "Mr. Stredder, please wait a moment, I need to confirm something with you." ”
Shrugging at Stewart and the others, Ike waved them outside for a while, and then stayed alone.
When only Ike and Professor Flitwick were left in the office, Professor Flitwick asked, "Mr. Stredder, are you sure you want to take all the courses?" ”
"Yes Professor, I'm sure." Ike replied firmly.
"You should know that some of these courses are conflicting......"
Ike nodded and replied, "I've heard Senior Roger say it." ”
"Okay, I got it." Professor Flitwick smiled and recorded Ike's course selection.
"Now, you can go to your friends!"
