Hogwarts starts with stealing power

In Hogwarts, Lin Xia continued to read the forbidden book.

Although reading the forbidden book online can eliminate the ramblings that interfere with people's minds, it can only get the simple text expression content.

Only by reading the physical forbidden book, while reading, can you receive a deeper level of knowledge infusion in your mind.

But even if reading the physical forbidden book is more profitable, few people read it. The reason is very simple-the risk is too great.

For Lin Xia, because she has not been exposed to the high-end knowledge of the wizarding world, even reading the online version of the forbidden book takes a lot of effort.

In a few days, she couldn't tell which book she needed.

Lin Xia occasionally looked up from the sea of ​​books and looked out the window, insisting on going to the practice room every day to exercise.

It was also at this time.

Lin Xia discovered how easy and perverted some spells in the wizarding world are.

For example, this "clean up" can remove all the dirt on clothes, and you don't need to spend extra time to take care of it.

Another example is the "cleansing spell". Wow, now I don't have to worry about washing my hair anymore. My hair can be made into a lot of bubbles.

There are also various "dehumidification spells", "drying spells", "cleaning spells", "clearing spells"...

Lin Xia felt that during the book selection period, she might not be able to understand the nature of magic and magic, but this life spell is definitely easy to master.

Since she went to the house elves, Lin Xia has been staying in the laboratory since then.

Whether she didn't go to the auditorium to eat in the morning, noon or evening, the elves would automatically deliver meals to her, and every time they were very rich.

Not to mention feeding her alone, it would be more than enough for a tea party.

This made Lin Xia feel embarrassed, and she kept saying, "You really don't need to prepare so much."

The elf who came to deliver the food said, "Dear Ms. Lin Xia, you may not know that except for a few professors, no one has stayed in Hogwarts. All the students have left. We only serve you.

If you refuse our arrangement, our work enthusiasm will be dampened, and we will feel useless.

You see, even the job of delivering food is something I have to go through many trials and tribulations to get. Many elves in the kitchen want to come to deliver food, but only one person can come at a time."

Lin Xia had just finished reading a book, and took a break from her busy schedule to talk to The house elf chatted for a few words, and then curiously asked: "Don't you have a holiday?"

The house elf shook his head: "There is always a place in Hogwarts that needs us, we don't need a holiday."

She asked: "How many elves are there in Hogwarts?"

The elf who delivered the food said at first: "More than 140."

Then he reacted and said with horror: "No, there are only more than 50, only more than 50!"

Lin Xia saw that its expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Okay, there are only 50, I know."

"Yes, only 50!"

The elf who came to deliver the food gradually returned to normal.

Lin Xia had no doubt that if she hadn't spoken in time, the elf would probably hit the wall.

House elves cannot use wands, but they are naturally sensitive to magic and are good at some silent and wandless spells. It's just that this mental state is a bit worrying.

But when Lin Xia thought of the oppression of the wizarding world on them for so many years, she could understand it a little bit.

She had no intention of being a good person who liberated the house-elves. Even Dumbledore couldn't do this. She should just stay at Hogwarts and do research honestly.

This predetermined fate, the perfect stage, the protagonist is not her, but someone else.

...

"You said you want to apply to read the banned book?"

Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall's office.

McGonagall was very surprised to hear Lin Xia's request.

She was one of the few professors who stayed in school during the summer vacation. She should have returned to England for vacation, but she stayed because she wanted to take Lin Xia to France to participate in the competition.

She has stopped tutoring Lin Xia's Transfiguration and let her study it on her own.

It's not that she is not dedicated, but any skill that reaches a certain level must rely on the hard work of daily accumulation, not taking shortcuts.

Lin Xia's Transfiguration skills have reached the advanced level, and she needs to work hard to study various auxiliary skills. It is not that she can make Transfiguration more advanced by practicing day after day.

So since the holiday, Lin Xia didn't come to her, and Mag didn't take the initiative to look for her.

Now a week has passed, Lin Xia came to her for the first time, and she didn't expect to make this request.

Professor Mag looked at her deeply and said seriously: "I believe you have already understood the risks of reading physical banned books. Even so, do you still want to read it?"

Lin Xia nodded: "Professor, I'm ready."

"Okay, you apply on the secret key interface, and I will help you prepare." Professor Mag said straightforwardly.

If it were other students, I'm afraid she would still persuade them.

But only Lin Xia, Mag felt that she was very rational and had her own ideas. Since she wanted to read it, she was probably ready.

In addition, the Transfiguration competition was getting closer and closer, with only one week left.

Professor Mag thought that Lin Xia might want to increase her experience in Transfiguration by reading banned books.

Although this is indeed an effective way to improve Transfiguration, it is too easy to be entangled by the vague mumbling in the banned books, leading to depravity.

Professor McGonagall said: "I believe you have learned the relevant precautions through the secret key. My other advice to you is that if things are impossible, withdraw from the forbidden book quickly and don't fight it."

Lin Xia remembered her words firmly, "Thank you, professor."

She selected the physical forbidden book she wanted to read in the secret key, and it was approved shortly after she submitted it.

At this time, even Dean Sprout hurried back to Hogwarts from other places and met with Lin Xia the next day.

Just after one night of preparation.

Professor McGonagall prepared everything, and she appeared with the dean.

Lin Xia was a little surprised to see the dean: "Dean, why are you back?"

Dean Sprout said: "Reading banned books requires two professors to supervise students together. Everyone else is on vacation, so I just came here because I have nothing to do."

She emphasized again: "Lin Xia, if you can't read, don't force yourself. Although banned books can increase your strength, this kind of strength is unstable. If you can't eliminate the influence of mumbling during reading, it will be counterproductive."

Lin Xia said calmly: "Dean, I understand!"

It's no wonder that Professor McGonagall and Dean Sprout are so nervous. The second school year has not started yet, and Lin Xia is strictly speaking just a first-year wizard.

Even in the past when banned books were not strictly supervised, first-year wizards could not touch banned books at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xia had studied several topics on her own and had achieved results, and knew that she was more mature than the average little wizard, otherwise she would not have passed the "first-year" point alone.

The two professors were already equipped, and the group walked straight into the library.

Lin Xia followed the professor and soon saw the sign of the [Restricted Books Area], which was indicated by a simple small wooden sign.

However, the library of Hogwarts is in this style.

Other categories were simply marked with a small wooden sign, without any classification or code number, which made it very inconvenient to find books.

Lin Xia originally thought that they would stop in the restricted books area, but unexpectedly, the two professors actually walked directly in.

She was surprised and could only continue to follow.

I don’t know how long I walked, but it seemed that I only walked for a while, as if I suddenly traveled through time and space at a certain node.

When Lin Xia came to her senses, she found that she had come to a strange place.

The environment here is even darker than the library, but there are books all around, there are books on the ground, the walls are full of books, and even books are floating in the air.

These books are either leaning against one place, or lying flat, or floating freely in the air.

In Lin Xia’s perception, these books seem to have life and their own consciousness.

Professor McGonagall's voice rang in her ears. Lin Xia turned around and was stunned to find that the two professors had disappeared.

"The restricted area requires a special pass. Even as professors, we cannot stay in the restricted area for too long, unless we want to borrow banned books like you."

The dean said: "Lin Xia, although we can't be with you, we have a way to keep an eye on your movements at all times. When your mental state is unstable, we will wake you up."

Then, Professor McGonagall's voice and the dean's voice overlapped, and fell into Lin Xia's ears and became some kind of ethereal phantom sound.

This may be the influence of the special place.

Lin Xia suddenly thought of the other world of Hogwarts that she had visited before. This may be a space related to the other world.

She came in so strangely that Lin Xia thought the restricted area was the area marked with [Restricted Area] in the library.

"Lin Xia, keep going forward. When you see a room, enter that room. The secret key will guide you to which room."

Lin Xia held the secret key in her hand tightly and kept moving forward.

After a while, she saw a small house that looked like a mushroom, with many books pasted on it.

Not this one.

She looked away and continued to walk forward, and saw a palm-sized door, a moving door shaped like a small animal, and a door hanging upside down in the sky...

Suddenly, Lin Xia stopped. The door in front of her was funnel-shaped, with only a small door handle sticking out from the side, and she couldn't see where the door was at all.

The secret key in her hand was burning hot, and a thought flashed through Lin Xia's mind: This is it!

Lin Xia held the door handle and opened the door with force!

A suction force suddenly came, and her whole body shrank instantly and was sucked into the funnel.

Lin Xia fell from a state of weightlessness.

When she finally stood on the ground, she couldn't help but sway slightly before she stabilized her body.

The feeling of weightlessness was very uncomfortable, but after breaking through the foundation, her physique was strengthened, and she quickly adapted to it.

Lin Xia thought, if everyone who reads a banned book has to go through this process, then it is indeed necessary to be more cautious when selecting people to read.

If someone with a weaker body comes here, wouldn’t it be necessary to spend a lot of energy before reading?

She looked around, and the light around was very bright, but she couldn’t find where the light source came from.

The room was very empty.

There was only a chair and a table, and there was a book on the table.

Lin Xia walked over and saw the book she wanted to borrow, "The Origin of Magic and the Nature of Magic".

Although the name looks powerful, to be honest, the content of this banned book is the most superficial and the most basic among the other banned books she has read.

But after Lin Xia finished reading the banned books she had chosen, she had a vague intuition that she must read the physical version of this book.

What she didn't know was that because the content described in this banned book was very basic, it was reviewed very quickly.

If it were another banned book, it might not be passed at this speed.

In addition to the plain-looking and very simple books on the table, there was also a kerosene lamp, an incense burner, and a small golden leaf.

When Lin Xia saw the golden leaf, she felt a trance that her mind was about to be attracted to it.

At this moment, the golden leaf attracted her more than the book!

The voices of the two professors rang in her ears again.

"Lin Xia, before turning over the metal, you need to light the kerosene lamp, light the incense burner, and hold the golden leaf in your mouth.

The kerosene lamp can cut through the darkness for you and illuminate a ray of light; the incense burner can concentrate your mind and let you read more attentively; as for the golden sober leaf, it can stabilize your mind and prevent you from getting lost in the powerful power and temptation."

Lin Xia did as she was told.

She first lit the kerosene lamp, lit the incense, and then put the sober leaf in her mouth.

She didn't feel anything for the first two, but as soon as she held the sober leaf, she immediately felt a clear mind.

Sitting on the chair, she stroked the back of the forbidden book and opened it.

Turning to the first page of the forbidden book.

Lin Xia suddenly found that she seemed to be pulled to a special space again.

This space was far from being so bright, but very dim. It was pitch black all around, and only the light from the kerosene lamp gave her a little light.

The incense was still burning slowly, and she quickly calmed down and continued reading.

Slowly turning the pages, there seemed to be an unknown fragrance floating in the air.

This fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the incense, a little disturbing the smell in the air.

At this time, Lin Xia found that a few black ink stains floated on the edge of the page of the forbidden book in her hand.

This black seemed to continue to spread and expand, and it was about to cover the words in the book!

Lin Xia took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and lowered her head to read the book again.

The pages of the book were normal, and the ink stains seemed to have never appeared!

Is this the risk that you will encounter at any time when reading a forbidden book?

The fate balance on her wrist was faintly hot, and the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records Furnace" in her body also started to operate spontaneously.

Lin Xia thought about it.

She released a little power from the balance, cooperated with the operation of the skills, and with the help of the other three things, she started to read the forbidden book again.

This time, the reading was particularly smooth and unobstructed.
