Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Generally, the paper presentation will not take a long time, and most of them will be completed within 30 to 40 minutes.

Lin Xia and Draco were no exception this time, and they all had normal paper presentation time.

As for the magnetic wand launch conference held by Lin Xia for the first time, it was specially extended to an hour and a half because the magnetic wand had an extraordinary impact on the wizarding world.

The person who asked Lin Xia questions this time was still the Hogwarts potion professor. Snape did not say a word throughout the whole process, but the other potion professors were very active.

The most active one among them was Professor Slughorn, an old professor who was about the same age as Dumbledore. His teaching style was humorous and the young wizards liked him very much.

The old professor asked several questions sharply, which did not appear in the previous rehearsal, but Lin Xia just thought about it for a while and answered them all.

The old professor took the lead in applauding, and other professors and students applauded one after another, and even the arrogant Snape gently fanned his palms.

Professor Slughorn said with great appreciation: "You two little wizards are as good as other senior students in potions. I sincerely invite you to join the Slug Club. You are the talents that the club has been looking for for a long time and is eager for!"

Draco couldn't help but look at Lin Xia, who replied calmly: "Thank you for your appreciation, professor. We will consider it carefully."

The two bowed together, drawing a perfect end to today's paper report.

The report was over, but Draco and Lin Xia were still busy, having to deal with a lot of media.

The media was very interested in the two, mainly because there was no big news in the wizarding world recently, which made the two "genius little wizards" the hottest explosion point at the moment, and they tried their best to write about them and did a lot of publicity.

Originally, Draco was a little worried that the launch of the new scabies potion would not go smoothly, because the new scabies potion was not advantageous in price, and it was one silver Sickle more expensive than the classic version in the past.

But after a lot of media publicity, the largest hospital in the British wizarding world, St. Goman's, has already ordered a batch of new scabies potion from him in advance.

If the response is good, it will not be a problem to get a large order in the future.

There are also many private clinics, potion masters, etc., which have ordered from the Malfoy family.

The first batch of new scabies potion produced by the Malfoy family has been sold out, and they are now working overtime to rush the second batch.

As for Lin Xia's youth face wash soap, it goes without saying.

Even if the media does not promote it much, this product for the beauty market is destined to have good sales.

Now that the media has promoted it, the first batch of products has been sold out long ago, and it is currently in a state of explosive orders, and the production period will be extended to one year!

The media is so powerful, Lin Xia and Draco naturally have to repay it, and deliberately set aside more time to accept media interviews.

The interview still follows the old rules, only accepting exclusive private interviews from the largest newspapers "The Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler", and other newspapers conduct joint public interviews.

The Daily Prophet interviewed the two for a full hour. Lin Xia and Draco came out of the makeshift interview room, both feeling exhausted.

Luna had been waiting outside. Seeing the two appear, she happily handed them the wreath she made.

"Congratulations on the successful publication of your paper!"

Lin Xia took the wreath and smiled: "Why am I a rose, and Draco's is a cornflower?"

Luna said: "In my eyes, you are as passionate as a rose, with a blazing flame and vigorous energy. You are like a little sun that never gives up. And Draco is a little white flower that tries hard to catch up with you."

At this point, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Lin Xia shook her head, handed the rose wreath to Draco, and picked up the white cornflower.

"I'm just a little girl. Let Draco teach you how to sell your looks. He is a gentle and noble little beautiful boy."

Lin Xia blinked at Luna. No matter how she said it, she saw through Luna's thoughts at a glance.

"Believe me, if you print the photo of Draco wearing a rose wreath as a color cover, the sales of the newspaper will definitely surpass the Daily Prophet."

Luna looked at Draco, thinking.

Draco held the rose in his hand, looking confused, "What are you talking about? What's so good about my photo?"

Lin Xia patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "You don't need to know too much, remember to play well later!"

Draco: I feel even more panicked.

...

The two were busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, and they didn't even have time to eat lunch. They finished all the interviews and sent all the media away.

They followed Lucius out of Hogwarts and came to the first floor of the campus. When they were about to walk out of the door, suddenly, a voice called them.

Lin Xia turned around and looked, a little surprised, it was Professor Quirrell.

What's more rare is that Professor Quirrell finally changed his clothes and no longer wore the one she gave him. I don't know if he took it to wash or what.

Quirrell stammered, "Hello Malfoy, you two wizards are both excellent. Are you going out now?"

Lucius did not salute, but looked at Quirrell arrogantly and condescendingly, "Yes, we are planning to go out for something to eat. The two children are too busy today and haven't had lunch yet."

Quirrrell: "I, I have something to talk to Lin Xia about alone."

Lucius frowned, "Professor, the time is already-"

"Just, just five minutes, no, three, three minutes is fine."

Lin Xia took the initiative to stand up: "Okay, professor."

She turned to look at Lucius and Draco, "You wait for me outside first, I will be there soon."

Lucius glanced at Quirrell, "Remember the time, try to hurry."

Although the words were said to Lin Xia, everyone knew who he really wanted to warn.

After the two left, Quirrell said: "You, you seem to have a good relationship with the Malfoy family."

Lin Xia: "It's okay, my parents have a business cooperation with the Malfoy family, they don't have time to come this time, so I asked Uncle Lucius to take care of me."

Quirrel suddenly realized: "So, so that's the case, I thought you, you are a relative of the Malfoy family."

Lin Xia smiled, but didn't speak.

Quirrel stammered to express his meaning, generally speaking, he was very optimistic about Lin Xia's research talent and future development, and was willing to invest in her.

The direction of investment is to give her some knowledge help, such as issuing borrowing notes for the banned book area.

Hogwarts has a rich collection of books. Lin Xia has always suspected that there is more than one library on the fifth floor. There are other libraries.

In addition to many free public books, Hogwarts also has many banned books.

These books are just not suitable for young wizards to read, but they do not mean that they are not suitable for adult wizards to read.

Some students with outstanding grades, such as excellent students, can get a share of reading banned books.

Professor Quirrell means that in addition to the share set by excellent students, he is willing to let her read more banned books.

If it is a young wizard who is extremely thirsty for knowledge, such as Hermione, she will definitely agree without saying a word.

But Lin Xia is different. She has been an aristocratic elite education since she was a child. Some banned books in Hogwarts may just be miscellaneous books she reads at home.

And more advanced knowledge, such as knowledge related to black magic, Lin Xia believes that this is not something that a newly appointed professor can open to her.

Maybe even Quirrell himself may not be able to borrow books on this subject.

Lin Xia politely declined, "Professor, I'm still young, and the banned books are too difficult for me. If I need them in the future, I will find you. Thank you, Professor."

"Okay, okay." Quirrell looked a little disappointed.

But he still strictly abided by the time, gave up his body, Lin Xia nodded to him and left.

After Lin Xia left Hogwarts, she turned her head and looked inside again.

Professor Quirrell had his back to her, with layers of heavy cloth wrapped around his head.

...

The group came to the place where they lived last time in Hogsmeade.

On weekends, Hogsmeade Village is full of laughter and joy. Senior students come here to play, and children can be seen jumping in many recreational facilities.

On the way, they also met the Weasley twins.

Lucius and Weasley work in the Ministry of Magic. They don't like each other, but facing Weasley's children, Lucius showed an adult's demeanor.

He went back to the place where he lived last time, leaving the space for Lin Xia and others.

The house they lived in last time has been bought by Lucius and has become the private property of the Malfoy family.

George said: "Congratulations, the paper was published smoothly!"

Fred: "We opened the bet for you and made a lot of money. We plan to give you a small gift!"

Lin Xia and Draco did not refuse and accepted their gifts with a smile.

To be honest, it was very good not to ask the twins to share the gold galleons with them.

It was just a few gifts, nothing bad to accept, and it was also deserved.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two entered the villa. Draco asked at this time: "Lin Xia, what did Professor Quirrell call you for?"

Lin Xia: "He thinks I am very talented and wants to invest in me. He said he can give me a borrowing slip for the banned book area."

Draco curled his lips: "Who needs his borrowing slip? As excellent students, we have the right to borrow banned books."

Lin Xia replied slowly: "That's still different. We can borrow banned books through excellent students once every few months, but if we go through Professor Quirrell's channel, one book a week is not a problem."

Lucius heard it and said : "But for the channels of outstanding students, the school will prepare protection for you in advance, and the notes approved by Quirrell require you to fight against various abnormalities when reading banned books."

"So I didn't agree to him. I don't have an urgent need to read banned books at the moment."

Lucius nodded slightly: "Your professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts looks as stupid as a pig, but he thinks quickly and knows to strike first. Unfortunately, he didn't prescribe the right medicine. I don't know what you really need."

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. She always felt that Quirrell was not simply trying to win her over.

He couldn't even keep his position, so how could he have the leisure to win over other students?

She shook her head, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, and asked, "Uncle Lucius, did my parents ask you to bring a message?"

Lucius nodded, "Yes, they said everything you wanted has been sorted out for you, in that ring, and they wish you good luck in publishing your paper, and they will always be proud of you."

Draco looked at his father eagerly, "Dad, why didn't Mom come this time?"

Lucius was silent for a while, as if he was considering whether to tell him the real reason.
