Chapter 113: The Bat with a Face

“…… So that's how you arranged it? ”

After listening to Ike's time plan, Hermione was a little surprised and a little frustrated at the same time.

The little witch had never served anyone at Hogwarts, but in this regard, once again lost at the hands of Ike.

"No wonder, it looks like I'm going to have my own plans too." Hermione made up her mind that now that she knew Ike's secret, she was going to catch up.

She didn't want to lose to Ike again in her final exam.

"By the way, there's a place I'm going to show you, and it's arguably one of the best-kept places in Hogwarts."

"Where?"

"Just follow me, there is still a period of time before the curfew, and it happens to be on the eighth floor, so it's still too late."

The two of them went straight up to the eighth floor one after the other, and finally stopped in front of the door of the Room of Requirement.

"Just think about where you want to be, walk back and forth in front of this wall three times, and ......"

As he spoke, he walked back and forth three times, and a door with a silver pattern slowly appeared on the wall. Ike looked back at Hermione, who was a little dumbfounded, and smiled subconsciously.

Pushing open the door and entering, it was the room that "only Ike Strade and those he approved could enter." The sofa, table, coffee table, fireplace, and a single cot in the corner are still the same as when Ike left.

The crucible on the table was steaming, and there were metal blocks scattered around it, a few carving knives, and a thick stack of parchment with words written on it. There were several books on the coffee table and the sofa, the kind that were thick enough to kill people.

Hermione walked over and picked up one, but the book suddenly came to life, let out a piercing scream, and opened violently, revealing sharp teeth and biting Hermione's nose.

Ike hurriedly waved his hand and threw out a red light and landed on it, and the book fell silent, and the title on the cover was revealed.

"Depriving Your Soul? This is the ...... in the forbidden book area" Hermione was startled, even though she always knew that Ike was very bold, she didn't expect that he would take out the books in the forbidden book area and put them here, not just one!

Even if she only took one at a time.

Moreover, these are the most dangerous and evil books in the forbidden area, the black magic of the dark arts.

"Don't make a fuss." Ike sat down on the chair next to him and snapped his fingers twice as much lemon tea appeared on the table, "As long as you don't get caught, it's not a violation of school rules, have you forgotten?" ”

"Yes...... But these are the ...... Black magic! ”

"The most evil of black magic!"

"You didn't see it?" Ike took a sip of lemon tea and didn't even lift his head, but made Hermione silent.

Yes, she watched it too.

In fact, almost everyone who can sneak into the forbidden area without being detected has read basic dark magic books to a greater or lesser extent, and many have learned them.

"You should have seen "Hogwarts: A History", and remember that it was mentioned that Hogwarts actually taught dark arts in the beginning, but it was only later canceled."

"I've always believed that as long as a person's self-control is strong enough, the side effects of black magic can be completely ignored."

"You can't go wrong with learning more."

Hermione didn't speak, as smart as she knew very well that what Ike said wasn't unreasonable. It's like Dumbledore, who is considered the most powerful white wizard, but no one would believe him if he didn't know the dark arts.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Ike digressed the subject, "How about this responsive house?" Isn't it a good fit? ”

"Indeed." Hermione nodded subconsciously.

"That's good, as long as we split the time."

"Divergent...... Time? ”

"That's right!" "When there's someone in the room, you can't open it from the outside. So the two of us must diverge in time. ”

"Do you want to?"

Seeing the smile on Ike's face gradually distort, Hermione knew what he was laughing at. Slamming the book in her hand, the little witch got up and walked out.

"The afternoon time is mine!"

Picking up the book with a smile, Ike couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the sound coming from outside the door.

He knew very well that telling Hermione the secret of the Room of Requirement was basically telling Harry and Ron, but it wasn't a problem. The Room of Requirement, while arguably the most magical room in Hogwarts Castle, is no secret.

Only what he knows is a secret, and Ike speculates that there are no less than twenty people who know about the Room of Requirement.

What kind of secret is this?

Telling Hermione that Ike had planned it a long time ago, not to mention that Ike had never shared the real secret.

For example, the magic words and magic circles on the Philosopher's Stone, and the Ravenclaw manuscripts......

After one night, it's Halloween.

The castle is also full of decorations like last year, creating as much of a terrifying atmosphere as possible. Early in the morning, Stewart wakes up Terry and Ike with a gadget he bought at Jokowi's joke shop.

A face-hugging bat, a bat-like little doll, but as soon as it is thrown out, it will turn into a real bat and directly hug the person's face, while emitting a piercing scream, making people dizzy.

Yesterday no one noticed that Stewart had bought this thing, and he was unprepared, and Terry was directly stupid, and he sat on the bed for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. But Ike was deflated. As soon as the face-hugging bat spoke, it was shattered to pieces by Ike with a smashing spell.

"Ike!" Stewart felt a pain in his flesh, the price of this thing is still a little expensive, and he originally wanted to wait and scare Moratti and them, who would have thought that it would be gone.

Rubbing his head, Ike yawned before saying, "What's wrong?" ”

Stewart: "......"

Forget it, it's a good day, and Ike is not worth it.

Ike knew what was going on, and with a recovery spell in his hand, he returned the face-hugging bat, which frightened Stuart and crouched down with his head in his hands, but he only felt like he had been hit by something.

"You don't expect the Restoration Charm to restore this thing completely, it's nice to be able to make it like this." Ike said, "But when I'm fine, I can give you a study, and it should be the same as before." ”

"Okay, then I'll give it to me when you're ready." Stewart had lost his magic bat doll back, and since Ike had said so, he would have been able to do it.

At this point, Stewart still believes.

After tossing and turning for a while, Terry was still the same wooden look. But it's easy to solve, and a healing spell will be alive and kicking, and you can still chase Stewart.

After a while, the three of them went to wash. By the time I got dressed and went out, breakfast had already started for a while.

Omelette, bread, milk, it's still normal, it's no different from usual. If you really want some surprises, you have to wait until the evening.

Everyone has long heard that in addition to the almost inevitable skeleton dance troupe, the ghosts have also prepared a wonderful program, which is said to be very grandiose. Dinner has changed, too, and at the urging of an unknown whitebeard wizard, the house-elves have changed their millennia recipes and played with creative cuisine.

Even Ike is looking forward to it, and maybe there will be food that can catch up with the cockroach pile.
