In early February, Hogsmeade opened again.

The little wizards weren't so excited this time, especially the fifth and seventh graders, and the approaching OWLs and NEWTs exams calmed their originally restless hearts.

It's about the future, and no one dares to relax.

Ike didn't act alone this time, but accompanied Stuart and the others to make a good purchase at Duke Honey. After all, the consumption of cockroach piles is still very large, and just a few months ago I made a lot of money, and the goal of cockroach pile freedom is still relatively easy to achieve.

"These Dementors are a nuisance." Coming out of Duke Honey and looking at the dark shadows hovering in the sky, Terry's tone was full of disgust.

"There's no way around it, they haven't caught Sirius until now." Ike said, chewing on a pile of cockroaches in his mouth.

"It's really like Moratti and the others said, Sirius has mastered some kind of transformation magic, and can turn into a plant or something, otherwise how could there be no trace until now."

Ike was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he really wanted to say that the boy you guessed it, he just can turn into a black dog.

If it weren't for the thrill of bursting, Ike swore he would.

After spending a little more time at Jokowi's joke shop, Ike and the others returned to the castle.

As soon as he returned, Stewart and Anthony were captured by Roger for training, and the match with Gryffindor was next week, and the latest news that the fire crossbow arrow would definitely appear, Roger scratched his head in sorrow, and even looked a little bald.

The good news is that Qiu has finally been discharged from the hospital, but the impact is still there, and the outlook is still not optimistic.

It is true that Autumn has no way to take Harry at all, the advantage of the fire crossbow is too great, whether it is the acceleration in a straight line or the flexibility of turning and changing direction, it is not comparable to the Halo 2000, and Gryffindor finally won the game with Harry's play, retaining hope.

Roger was disappointed after the game and was left alone on the court.

It's a lot like Wood, who was like that after Gryffindor's defeat to Hufflepuff last time. It's just that last time Wood wanted to drown in the rain, this time Roger wanted to die in the sun.

This was perhaps the most confusing of Quidditch, with all four teams taking a point from the first round of meetings, followed by the eagle, lion, badger and snake on goal difference, but only 10-30 points apart.

As you can imagine, the second round of the game must be a bloody storm.

The ups and downs of Quidditch are not mentioned for the time being, and the left and right have little to do with Ike, and he doesn't care about these, completely immersed in the pleasure of petting the cat.

There is also nothing to pursue, when most of the magic and subjects have reached the level of LV6, and the alchemy, magic and Ravenclaw manuscripts have also reached a bottleneck, Ike has salted the fish.

Until now, he has not found a specific way to upgrade to LV7, but has a vague idea.

I still remember the string of LV7 magic I saw when I was controlled by Comrade Lao Fu with the Soul Snatching Spell, which shows that Comrade Lao Fu must have a way to upgrade.

Dumbledore naturally has it, but now Ike is a little reluctant to come into contact with old Deng.

This bad old man is really bad.

By now, Ike's goal set last summer has been almost accomplished, and his research on Dementors has reached a bottleneck. After being tossed by Ike for a few months, Experiment No. 2 finally did not resist and followed in the footsteps of its predecessors.

Until there is no chance to get a new test item, it can only be put on hold for the time being, and if there is a chance in the future, it may be possible to study the "Dementor Resurrection" project.

It's still very interesting.

More often now, Ike prefers to go to Professor Snape to ask for potions knowledge, especially those rare potions, such as the life-sustaining potion made by Comrade Xiaofu last year, Ike has now mastered the mysteries, but he has not yet mastered them.

After all, the materials are too precious for Snape to provide, and with Ike's assets, he can only afford to boil twice.

Garon really hated less when it was time to use it.

The harvest is still there, and most of the potions in "Powerful Potion" Ike have been successfully boiled under Snape's guidance, which has made him really brush up on a wave of potion proficiency. More crucially, Ike learned Snape's ability to make potions worse without diminishing their effects, and it was only after learning how terrifying a Potions Master could be.

Snape's knowledge of potions materials was beyond his imagination, and some minor improvements could only be regarded as pediatrics, and he would use the reaction of several materials as a base, and then use other combinations of materials to neutralize them, which required so much consideration that he couldn't memorize them by rote.

For example, the wolf poison potion he boiled for Lupin would only make the werewolves feel a little tired and weak, and even completely ignore them with their physique. However, after Snape's refill, Lupin would have symptoms of a severe cold after drinking it, with vomiting and diarrhea, and would be weak for a while even after the full moon.

This kind of operation can already be called art.

It was also during this period of contact that Ike discovered Snape's qualified side as a professor. He never rejects a student's question, and it is no exaggeration to say that any question will be answered by him.

Of course, when you ask stupid questions, Snape won't skimp on his vicious words, and will even break you down. But if your question is new, you'll find that he's very patient.

The only caveat is that don't ask the same question twice, otherwise the consequences can be very serious.

At that time, trolls and shells were already very gentle adjectives.

Ike has a deep understanding of this......

In March, as the OWLs and NEWTs exams approached, the professors focused on the fifth and seventh graders, almost all of their extracurricular time was taken up, and Snape's temper was at its peak, and he threw Ike out of his office, just throwing one of his notes over, and forbidding Ike to come to him to rub the material again.

Now, those students in grades 5 and 7 need to practice even more.

3rd grader? Where is it cool!

Ike didn't care, with Snape's Potions notes, what more bike?

Just think about how Harry, who had been rotten enough in potions, behaved after getting Snape's school textbooks, to see how valuable this thing really was.

Golden legend!

It can be said that Snape's thinking and improvement of potions in the past ten years are all in this notebook, like a huge experience package, so that Ike's potion level has been improved by leaps and bounds again.

As a result, Ike set a goal that was very much in line with his current potions level:

Before the end of the semester, a bottle of Elixir was successfully boiled.
