Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Beside Harry, Hermione and the Weasley family followed.

I can only say that Lockhart's eyesight is really good. He can recognize Harry at a glance in such a crowded crowd.

Harry is now just a thin little wizard.

If it weren't for the iconic lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, he would not be regarded as the savior who defeated Voldemort.

Lin Xia looked at Harry who was forced to crowd up, and Lockhart, who was hugging Harry and deliberately advertising, suddenly turned his head and searched the crowd.

Hard work pays off!

After a while, she saw a person in the crowd who reacted differently from others-

The man gave a thumbs up in Lockhart's direction, and his expression looked quite proud.

Lin Xia immediately turned to look at Lockhart and found that he was nodding at the man who gave a thumbs up.

The next second, Lockhart held Harry's hand tightly and told the people around him that Harry Potter was also his fan.

Lin Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered to Malfoy and Cedric:

"That Lockhart is not simple. He sent people to keep an eye on Harry, deliberately trying to take advantage of Harry's fame and popularity."

Malfoy and Cedric were both stunned.

They all went to school at Hogwarts, and Harry was a student like them.

Even though they knew that Harry was the savior, they didn't admire him as much as people outside.

Abandoning the halo that many people put on him, Harry was just an ordinary little wizard.

Now seeing the outside world's enthusiasm for Harry, they could more or less understand why Lockhart kept an eye on Harry and announced to the outside world that Harry was also his fan.

This popularity is really good!

Suddenly, Malfoy saw his father in the crowd.

Lucius's elegant long hair like Perkins and cold gray eyes were very easy to recognize.

He was dressed very elegantly, holding a cane that only old aristocrats paid attention to, and walked in the crowded crowd with a frown.

Maybe the "bad" aura on him was too strong, and the wizards around him would subconsciously avoid him.

Malfoy's face changed, "Oh no, my father is coming!"

Cedric didn't know why he was so panicked, but Lin Xia guessed a little and asked:

"Is your father particularly incompatible with the Weasley family?"

Draco smiled bitterly and said, "More than incompatible, they even wanted to kill each other. When my father went to Knockturn Alley to sell things, he complained about Weasley to the store manager, and was heard by Harry.

I suspect that if Harry and I were not still somewhat friendly, he would immediately break up with me after hearing what my father said."

Cedric asked, "What should we do now?"

Lin Xia said in a deep voice, "We have to think of a way to prevent the two adults from meeting."

Soon, she came up with an idea.

While Uncle Lucius hadn't noticed the Weasley family, Lin Xia and Draco immediately ran into the crowd to attract Lucius' attention.

Using the excuse of wanting to eat, he took him to the ice cream shop next door.

Meanwhile, Cedric went to find Harry and tried to get Harry away from Lockhart.

Even if Lin Xia didn't say so, he would help Harry.

If Harry was really a fan of Lockhart's books, that would be fine, but Lockhart was forcing people to buy and sell, and students of Hogwarts should not be bullied like this.

Even if that person is about to become a professor at the school, it's not okay.

When the three of them met again, they had already coaxed the people on both sides.

The three of them quickly bought what they wanted and went to their homes through the magic fireplace in Diagon Alley.

The three of them agreed to take the train back to school together tomorrow.

Originally, Lin Xia could use the Floo Network to go directly to Hogwarts, but the most lively day of Hogwarts every year is the first day of school.

When school started last time, she found a lot of interesting oriental snacks on the train, and she didn't want to miss it this time.

The annual opening event is worth Lin Xia's return to the manor to stay overnight.

Early the next morning.

Aunt Narcissa had sent an owl to urge Lin Xia.

Lin Xia had already changed into a wizard robe, with the Hogwarts's Outstanding Student badge pinned to her collar.

Last year, when they were about to arrive at Hogwarts, they had to change clothes, but this time they just put on school uniforms and didn't even need to change clothes.

When they walked out of the manor, a magic car was waiting outside.

Lin Xia got in the car.

The car started automatically and drove to Malfoy Manor.

Soon, the car stopped at the gate of the manor, and Narcissa and Draco walked out.

Aunt Narcissa was dressed very delicately and beautifully, as if she was not sending her son to school, but to attend a dinner party.

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Why didn't I see Uncle Lucius?"

Narcissa heard the smile on her face and said: "He said that the Ministry of Magic was too busy, so he asked us to go by ourselves, and he wouldn't go to send us."

Lin Xia glanced at Draco, who was winking at her.

The group came to the King's Platform.

Narcissa repeatedly told them to study hard in school, and left the station before they passed Platform 9.

Draco finally relaxed his tense heart and complained to Lin Xia:

"My mother was very angry. She wanted my father to come and see me off, but he left in a hurry after returning from Diagon Alley yesterday.

I couldn't see my father today either. He sent me a letter saying that he was too busy at work and couldn't spare the time, so he asked me to go to school by myself.

My mother was so angry that she almost sent a howler to the Ministry of Magic! "

Lin Xia couldn't help laughing and said, "Auntie actually looks forward to the whole family sending you to school. Our parents came together in the first school year. We were very happy at that time."

Draco said, "But your parents are not coming this year."

Lin Xia shrugged, "They are far away in the Amazon forest, chasing the Dragonite that they have only seen once, so they can't come."

She changed the subject, "Aunt Narcissa, is she okay?"

Draco said, "It's okay. She didn't even send us upstairs just now. She was dressed so exquisitely when she went out. She was going to attend a banquet. It is said that it was hosted by her sister."

I don't know what he thought of, and he added, "It should be my mother's biological sister."

"It should be, biological sister?"

Draco said hesitantly, "I have never heard my mother mention anything about her mother's family since I was a child. I only know that she has two sisters.

One is older than her, named Bellatrix, and the other is younger than her, named Andromeda. Both of them are married. They are from the ancient Black family. "

Lin Xia and Draco walked and talked, surrounded by people rushing on the road, which made them look very leisurely.

When the Lin family came to England, they cooperated with the Malfoy family. Many strange things were fully entrusted to Malfoy to manage. They were not very familiar with the dignitaries in the wizarding world.

She asked curiously: "Compared with the Black family and the Malfoy family, who is older?"

Draco smiled bitterly and said: "It is impossible to compare. Our two families are both the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans.

The Twenty-Eight Holy Clans are pure-blood families in the wizarding world, and they are also the families with the deepest heritage.

If you really want to say, you can only say that they are evenly matched. Everyone has a monopoly in their own field. "

He thought for a while and said: "But the Black family should be in decline. After all, the only heir, Black, known as 'Sirius', was imprisoned in Azkaban, and Black Manor was in a dusty state.

If my mother is willing to go back and take over, she can open the manor with her bloodline, but she seems unwilling.

No, she doesn't discuss these things with us, and even my father can't guess her thoughts. "

Lin Xia asked curiously: "Why can your mother open the closed manor? Aren't there two other sisters?"

Draco's expression was a little ugly, and he felt ashamed to speak, but he finally said:

"Those two are not doing well... Although Aunt Bella married the Lestrange family, who are also pure-blooded, she was imprisoned in Azkaban.

The other one married a Muggle. It is said that Aunt Andromeda has been removed from the Black family tree and will never be able to enter the manor. "

Lin Xia's footsteps suddenly stopped, "You just said, which family did your Aunt Bella marry?"

"Lestrange family. "

A picture flashed through Lin Xia's mind. It was a witch she had dreamed of in a dream.

The witch was dark-skinned and tall. She drank the Polyjuice Potion and turned into another person. She successfully sneaked into Gringotts and deceived everyone.

She wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone in Gringotts, but Hagrid had taken it away from Gringotts the day before.

The first vault she entered at that time was the [Lestrange Vault].

Lin Xia's eyes flickered.

Perhaps, she should find some time to make up for Draco's complicated family network.

"Ron, why did you and Harry fall to the ground?"

Draco's puzzled voice came, and he was puzzled by the two people lying on the ground.

Just now, he was chatting with Lin Xia and walked much slower. If he didn't go over, he would miss the train.

Ron looked at the stone pillar in front of him in shock, "It's not my problem, it's it, there's a problem with the passage! It suddenly didn't let us pass! "

Draco walked over quickly, "Impossible, before you went over, I saw your twin brother passing by--"

Before he finished speaking, there was a bang!

He had a bump on his head because of his resolute determination.

Draco said in disbelief: "Why can't I pass through? This is not magic at all. Did the magic fail?"

Lin Xia helped Harry up first.

Harry kept covering his head and looked like he had a headache.

She took out the medicine from her small leather bag, "Harry, take a breath, you will feel much better."

Lin Xia gave Harry a cooling oil that can treat headaches.

But if she used it herself, it only had the effect of refreshing the mind.

Harry took a deep breath and felt much relieved. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Lin Xia! "

Lin Xia turned to check the wall.

Knocked and hit, the touch felt solid.

She frowned, closed her eyes slightly, focused on her five senses, and quietly activated the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Records: The Crucible" with her body, while casting a silent and wandless super-sensory spell on herself.

After a while, she heard a snickering sound coming from a distance.

The reason why Lin Xia recognized the difference in this voice at once was that this laughter was very different from ordinary laughter, sharp and thin, not like the laughter that humans can make.

After waiting for a while, the laughter drifted farther and farther, but under the pursuit of the super-sensory spell, Lin Xia could still catch this laughter.

"Hehehe, Harry Potter can't go back to Hogwarts, he doesn't have to go to school, and he won't be hurt... I don't want to hurt Harry Potter, Dobby is doing this for his own good..."

Dobby?

Lin Xia's mind flashed back to the ragged house elf she had just met. What did this have to do with Dobby?

She opened her eyes and met Harry's emerald eyes.

He looked very heroic, but only his eyes were as gentle as emeralds.

At this moment, these eyes were filled with worry and confusion.

Draco asked, "Lin Xia, have you found anything? You have been here for ten minutes."

He looked around and said solemnly, "If we don't leave, we might be considered mentally ill."

Lin Xia nodded, "I did find something. Let's go out to the platform first."

She mentioned her discovery only after leaving the platform.

"Platform 9 has been enchanted by a house elf. We can't get through. We can only go to Hogwarts through other channels. Do you have any ideas?"

Draco suggested: "How about we use the Floo Network to go all the way to the village near Hogsmeade, and then take the magic tram back to Hogwarts?"

Ron looked bitter, "This is a good idea, but if you want to use the Floo Network, you have to enter the wizarding world first. We are now in the Muggle territory. Can you find the nearby wizarding world boundary?"

Draco: "Can't we use the Leaky Cauldron route?"

Ron shook his head: "It's unrealistic. Do you know how far the Leaky Cauldron is from the King's Platform? It's not in the same direction at all.

Besides, even if we, a few little wizards, go to Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron, will they let us use the Floo Network?"

Lin Xia said: "Yes, I can ask Mr. Ollivander for help, but Ron is right, the Leaky Cauldron is too far from here, and it takes three hours to drive."

Before, they thought it was close, because the first time they went to the Leaky Cauldron, there would be wizards to help them, shortening the journey.

But the second time, there was no professor to accompany us, and the journey was quite long.

It would take three hours to travel, so we might as well think of other ways.

Harry, on the other hand, remained silent.

Ever since Lin Xia mentioned that a house elf had used magic to close the passage of platform 9, he thought of the elf he met during the summer vacation.

Harry was still thinking about this question until the group decided to use Ron's magic car to drive to Hogwarts.

As soon as they got in the car, Harry couldn't help asking, "Lin Xia, do you know the name of the house elf who made trouble?"

Lin Xia was not surprised that he would ask this.

Ever since Harry heard what she said, he looked worried.

Lin Xia said, "I know, I heard it say that its name is Dobby."
