Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Lin Xia glanced at Cedric, "I thought you wouldn't be so surprised."

Cedric: "...I also want to stay calm."

But since Lin Xia has such fighting power, Cedric feels relieved about what he is going to say next.

"The association asked me to ask you if you would like to attend the next party."

Cedric told them about the exchange meetings initiated by outstanding students. They usually exchange information about the tasks they have taken on, as well as some doubts about their studies.

He said: "The main communication is the former, and the latter is basically not talked about unless you take the initiative to ask."

As an outstanding student at Hogwarts, his development is actually very balanced. Nowadays, there are very few partial subjects, and he can get an A in every subject.

Excellent students have their own pride. They do not think that their learning methods are worse than others, so they basically do not communicate about learning problems.

"Mission?" This was the first time Lin Xia heard this word.

"I saw the [Mission Area] in the secret key, but the dean reminded me not to touch it first, so I didn't open it. Are these tasks difficult to complete and do we need to communicate with each other?"

Cedric said seriously: "There are many types of tasks. Unless you go out of your way to find the same task to do, otherwise, if you assign it randomly, it may not be the same for a month.

As a student, the tasks you can take on are limited, so you can listen to other people’s task experiences and check for gaps. "

He changed his words and said, "But you are not doing the task. In fact, it would be better for you not to communicate. You won't hear too much noise."

"Noise?" Draco said.

"Yeah, noise." Cedric nodded solemnly.

"Each wizard has a different practice philosophy. Some people believe that we should focus on spiritual practice, some people believe that we should focus on spiritual or physical practice, and some people think that we need to rely on external forces to make up for ourselves, etc."

"Every mission we take on is a transformation of our practice philosophy. As we take on more and more missions, each wizard will gradually discern the path he wants to take.

But for a little wizard like you who is not yet capable of accepting missions, hearing discussions about ideas too early is not good and will hinder your growth. "

Draco understood that when different ideas collide, if one's own ideas are not clear and firm enough, it is easy to be influenced by others.

"In that case, why did you ask Lin Xia if she was going?" Draco was very puzzled.

Cedric smiled bitterly and said: "I was also entrusted by others. The outstanding students in the senior class asked me to ask. They were very curious about Lin Xia. I tried my best to avoid it, but I still couldn't avoid it completely."

Lin Xia thought for a while and made a decision.

"Senior, I also have instructions from the dean. She said she would help me make arrangements, so I won't attend any gatherings at the moment. If there is a chance in the future, I will go."

Cedric just wanted an answer. To be honest, he didn't want Lin Xia to go to the exchange meeting.

Those outstanding students are usually gentle and polite, but when it comes to disputes over ideas, they will become crazy.

When you get excited, they don't care if you are in first grade or seventh grade.

If you have anything to do, let’s have a fight first.

After explaining the business, Cedric did not leave immediately, but stayed in the common room to teach the other little badgers magic.

Among them, there was a young wizard who asked him about transfiguration and how to turn flowers, plants and trees into tables and chairs.

Cedric said: "If you want to transform into a long table like this, it is impossible. Even if you can transform, your magic power is insufficient and the transformation will fail in the end.

Therefore, my suggestion is to deform in a small and refined direction. You don't have to make too big a table or chair, even if it's just a table and chair the size of your thumb, you can practice your transformation skills by making it more elaborate and complex. "

He said, waving his wand.

"Like this, like that."

After a while, a dozen small and exquisite tables and chairs appeared in front of the little wizard. These tables and chairs were all only about the size of a palm, but they were very delicate.

If you look at them enlarged, they are no different from ordinary tables and chairs.

Cedric's aesthetic style is very green and forest style, and the tables and chairs he transformed also fit in with his fantasy of this style.

The little wizard tried to imitate everything, but he could only barely transform into a shabby little table or chair, or he could only transform into a simple one with missing arms and legs.

But the situation was enough to surprise Cedric.

He found that the first-year wizards of this class were much better than his class. Is it true that each generation in the wizarding world is getting stronger than the previous generation?

That's not true, he was stronger in that session than in the next.

Cedric glanced around and saw that every young wizard was studying seriously. Even those who were not interested in transfiguration were discussing other magical issues.

His eyes flashed slightly, as if he understood something.

Next to him, Draco put down the idiom book, took out his wand and pointed it at a small daisy on the ground.

Chinese books are obscure and difficult to understand, especially those in classical Chinese. Traditional Chinese characters and vertical layout are more complex than simplified Chinese, which further exacerbates reading comprehension difficulties.

Draco could only read one page a night at first, but now his efficiency has improved and he can read three or four pages a night.

But every time I watch it, I feel dizzy.

He had just completed today's study task, so he casually used the Transformation Technique as a way to change his mood.

At this point, the daisy immediately turned into an ivory chair of normal size.

Draco looked at it carefully for a few times and felt that it was too plain, so he pointed his wand at the back of the chair again.

Gradually, some delicate and complex golden patterns appeared on the back of the chair, slowly twisting into various floral patterns.

The shape of the chair was also constantly changing, allowing people to see the shaping process.

About ten minutes later, Draco put down his wand with satisfaction.

A brand new, luxurious chair full of aristocratic taste appeared in front of everyone.

Cedric glanced at it and was about to look away when he was suddenly stunned.

"Did you transform this?" He grabbed Draco.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Draco asked.

Cedric said in disbelief: "Didn't you notice that your Transfiguration is much better than before?"

"Ah?" Draco seemed to wake up from his dream, staring at the ivory chair for a long time, and asked in a trance: "Senior, is this really what I transformed?"

"...Do you want me to slap you?"

"Oh, that's not necessary."

Draco quickly changed the subject, muttering "How can I transform such a beautiful, luxurious and real chair".

You know, last month, he practiced Transfiguration for a long time, and barely turned the moving beetle into a fruit.

Maybe it turned into grapes, bananas, oranges, mangosteens... Anyway, whatever the senior knew, he asked him to transform.

And among them, he often needs to spend a few days to make the beetle completely transformed, so that the fruit does not still have a shell.

But today, without any practice, he just relied on the fantasy in his mind to adjust the details of Transfiguration on the spot, and he actually succeeded!

This is incredible!

Cedric wanted to ask something, but seeing Draco's look, he couldn't ask.

The person involved was even more confused than him, could he say this?

Cedric thought: Can doing research really increase magical talent?

Draco just concentrated on retreating, created a paper, improved a potion, and his talent for Transfiguration actually increased!

Perhaps, he can also try to do some research and write a paper?

...

Lin Xia and Draco were not very busy this week preparing for academic speeches, and they were more relaxed than when they were doing experiments.

The reason was that Professor Snape had asked them to arrange the speech, answer questions, explain the principles, and other simulations in advance before their papers were published.

So when they really had to give a presentation, Lin Xia and Draco found that these processes had been rehearsed and were familiar with them.

Parents Lin Rui and Xia Li sent a letter saying that they were chasing the legendary Dragonite in the Amazon forest and could not go there in person.

But they believed that Lin Xia would do well and asked Lucius to bring their gifts.

December 12, Saturday.

Lucius arrived at Hogwarts early, wearing a well-dressed suit.

Three days ago, Draco had been awarded the Outstanding Student Badge by Hogwarts.

There are only three research talents in Hogwarts, and among the wizards who are graduating in the seventh grade, only one has published a paper.

In such a contrast, the first-year freshmen who can publish papers independently are qualified to be awarded as an exception.

Lucius was overjoyed when he saw Draco, and hugged him.

"I'm proud of you, Draco." His voice was still so elegant and arrogant, full of literary tone, but full of excitement.

Draco looked at his father eagerly, his eyes were a little red, and he was hesitant to speak.

The father and son understood each other's thoughts with a glance.

Lucius said: "Prepare your speech first, enjoy this report, and talk about anything in Hogsmeade in the evening."

Draco nodded.

Compared with the nervous Draco, Lin Xia, who had already held a paper release conference, seemed very calm.

Not every paper publisher has to hold a press conference.

Some papers involving theoretical foundations and simple magic, such as creating a new magic, only need to prove its principle so that everyone can use it.

But Lin Xia and Draco, who write papers and research and create something by the way, have to hold a press conference, which involves the issue of commercial copyright.

She walked up to Lucius and nodded, "Uncle Lucius, long time no see."

Lucius smiled, "It's only been two months. At the speed you publish papers, I guess we will meet again in Hogwarts soon."

He hugged Lin Xia and calmly threw a ring into her pocket.

"Your parents are sorry that they can't attend your press conference, so they asked me to record the whole thing for them to watch. I brought a video camera with me."

"I am very optimistic about your youthful facial soap. I wonder if the Malfoy family has the honor to be the agent of this product. I will give you a satisfactory price."

Lin Xia said without thinking: "Of course, I trust the Malfoy family, but before that, I have already promised the director of a beauty salon. That is the person who Professor Sprout found for me to help with the test."

Lucius tapped the cane with a silver dragon head in his hand steadily, "It's just a beauty salon. It won't affect much market share. The Malfoy family is willing to share the benefits with her."

Lin Xia smiled: "Then it's settled."

The press conference started smoothly.

Draco first took the stage and spent 20 minutes explaining the theory, and another 20 minutes answering questions.

Among them, Professor Snape was sitting in the audience and asked Draco a few questions.

Not only that, all the potion professors in the school asked questions.

These questions were asked to Draco by the professors in advance, and he was prepared.

Forty minutes later, Draco's report on "Improved Scabies Potion New Version" was completed.

After a short break of ten minutes, Lin Xia took the stage and gave a report on the principle and production of the invented youth face wash soap.
