Magical Studies at Hogwarts...

Chapter 72 I will train you

"Shedding his skin like a cicada? Comrade Xiao Fu has that skill?"

Facing Little Black's corpse, Ike felt a chill run down his spine. He had witnessed firsthand the power of the sixth-year Voldemort; he was completely different from the old Voldemort.

Old Voldemort, relying on sheer strength, firmly believed that nothing was beyond the power of an Avada Kedavra shot; if one wasn't enough, then another would do the trick. Young Voldemort, on the other hand, was all about strategy.

From the very beginning, he used Ginny to cause trouble. After being discovered by Ike, he broke free from the Horcrux at great cost when facing a crisis, and then stole potion ingredients to prepare to brew a life-extending potion. Now he has even abandoned his last weakness and completely disappeared into the shadows.

Ike was convinced that when Comrade Xiao Fu appeared again, it wouldn't be as minor as before.

And myself must be the primary target!

"A challenge? This is...?"

With a flick of the wand, a wisp of Fiendish flame landed on the box, instantly incinerating the corpse of Little Black inside into ashes. Ike, propping himself up on his arm, gently rubbed his forehead, his mind racing with speculation about Little Voldemort's future moves.

Abandoning Xiao Hei means that Comrade Xiao Fu has found a new vessel. It is very likely that he will possess a person like Quirrell did last year, or it may just be that he will possess a different animal, such as the Basilisk.

But if he were to possess a basilisk, he wouldn't need any life-extending potions; he could just charge in headfirst. Besides, that wouldn't fit Xiao Fu's personality.

"A little wizard?"

Ike thought to himself, this makes Ginny even more suspicious. She was already under Voldemort's spell, so possessing someone else would be a piece of cake for her. Moreover, the magical power and physique of a young wizard are vastly different from those of an adult wizard, which explains the effectiveness of the life-extending potion.

Suddenly, Ike remembered that there was still one of Voldemort's servants in Hogwarts: Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew, who had been hiding for more than ten years, had a deep-seated fear of Voldemort. If Voldemort really did find him, the possibility of the two joining forces could not be ruled out.

That would be a huge problem!

"We've been living it up, living it up..."

Ike took out his notebook and wrote down his guesses one by one, circling Ginny and Pettigrew's names to indicate that they were the most suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, he wrote down another string of words, which was Ike's guess about the revenge method that Comrade Xiao Fu might adopt.

Continuing the attacks is inevitable; he needs to constantly create panic and first drive Dumbledore out of Hogwarts. He might be able to do that if one or two more junior wizards are petrified.

After Dumbledore leaves, Voldemort could use a series of methods, such as attacking Ike's close friends, to force Ike to actively seek him out.

At that time, Ike might have to face Voldemort himself plus the Basilisk, and perhaps Peter Pettigrew as well.

After looking at what he had written for a long time, Ike tore off the page, crumpled it into a ball, and a flame suddenly appeared, burning the paper ball to ashes.

The information is already firmly imprinted in my mind, so there's no need to retain it any longer.

With a wave of his hand, a paper bag flew out of Ike's bedside table drawer. He picked up a swarm of cockroaches and stuffed them into his mouth, then unfolded the letter and finished writing it in no time. He would go to the owl shed tomorrow to find an owl, and then all that was left was to wait for what Ike wanted to be sent back.

On the morning of the third day, an owl landed next to Ike during breakfast time, clutching a rather large package at its feet. It remained unopened until it returned to its dormitory, where it unpacked seven brand-new spyglasses.

He took out three, carefully put the rest away, and went straight to the school hospital.

Even without his interference, the little witch still turned into a real catgirl and has been in the school hospital for two days. This kind of accidental transformation caused by the compound decoction is quite troublesome to treat and will take some time.

Hermione didn't want anyone to see her like this, so she drew curtains around her bed. It's safe to say that apart from Harry, Ron, and Madam Pomfrey, no one else had ever seen Hermione the catgirl.

"Hermione, it's Ike," Ike said, poking at the curtain.

"I...Ike!" The little witch's voice trembled slightly. "What...what brings you here?"

"I heard you were admitted to the school hospital, so I came to check on you," Ike replied with a smile. "What happened? Why are you all wrapped up?"

"N-nothing...cough cough," Hermione coughed lightly, then spoke again, her voice returning to normal. "Ike, you called me here for something else, didn't you?"

How did you know?

"Because you never reach out to me unless it's something very important!" Hermione was quite certain of this.

"Okay, you guessed it. I'm here to deliver something." He took a spyglass out of his pocket and handed it in from under the curtain.

"A spyglass?" Hermione asked, puzzled. "You're just like Neville."

“It’s different, Hermione.” Ike’s tone turned serious. “This time I’m sure you need it.”

"What do you know?" Hermione asked immediately after a moment's thought.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specifics. I can only say that you might suffer an attack like Percy's..."

"I also need to send a spyglass to Harry and Ron each. Sorry, Hermione..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ike got up to leave.

"Ike!" Hermione called out to Ike, then whispered, "Is it related to the Chamber of Secrets?"

"...Yes," Ike said softly. He didn't intend to hide it from Hermione, who was too clever to be fooled.

"Then be careful, goodbye."

"goodbye……"

Harry and Ron were easy to find. They left the school hospital and headed straight for the Great Hall. As soon as they entered, Ike spotted the two playing wizard chess.

He casually walked over and placed the two viewing mirrors in front of the two men respectively. Before he could speak, Ron said, "What's this for, Ike?"

"As you can see, the Mirror," Ike replied casually, then turned to Harry and instructed, "Listen, Harry, you need to carry this with you at all times, and never forget it!"

Seeing that Ike's expression was somewhat serious, Harry was completely confused.

"What's wrong, Ike?"

"I've told Hermione everything I can tell you, you can go find her," Ike replied. "All I can say is that you're facing a more dangerous situation than last year..."

"You mean, Qi..." Harry was interrupted by Ike before he could finish, "Sorry, that's all I can say. I have some other things to explain to you another time."

After saying that, he left.

Harry watched Ike's departing figure, still full of questions. He had no idea why Ike had suddenly done this; their relationship wasn't close enough for him to exchange gifts.

But thinking about what happened last year, Harry decided to listen to Ike and just carry it with him; it wasn't a big deal.

For the next few days, Ike behaved himself, staying in his dorm except for meals in the auditorium. This monotonous life only ended when Stuart and Terry returned to their dorm after the Christmas holidays.

On the first night after the holiday, Ike called Michael and Anthony from the next dorm room to his own. After handing over the remaining four spyglasses, he solemnly said under the questioning gazes of the four:

"The good days are over, my friends!"

"From now on, I will train you personally!"

Stuart knew Ike well enough to tell from his expression that he was serious, and immediately asked, "Ike, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

"A big problem, Stuart..."

"Are we in danger?" Terry asked again.

"Yes, it's very dangerous..."

"So, when will it start?"

"Now! Gentlemen!"
