Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Draco withdrew his gaze from Harry, nodded and said, "I found it, I saw the relevant information in the letter my father brought me today.

Although my father was a little strange, he still asked someone to help me thoroughly investigate the house elves in the family and checked them one by one. "

Lin Xia asked curiously: "So that Dobby is the house elf of your Malfoy family?"

Draco shook his head: "You can say yes, you can say no. Five years ago, Dobby was still the house elf in our family, but he left our manor five years ago and went to other family members. place of residence.

The Malfoy family is very large, and I am just one of the direct descendants. There are many side branches, and their surnames are also Malfoy. Dobby serves the side branches. "

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

She thought about what Harry had said.

Harry said that Dobby heard that someone was trying to harm him, so he told him not to come to Hogwarts to ensure his safety.

Could it be that they were a sideline member of the Malfoy family, plotting to do something to Harry, and then Dobby discovered it.

This house elf secretly reminded Harry out of a sense of justice in his heart?

Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "Can you investigate where Dobby, the house elf, belongs and which family member he is in?"

Draco nodded and said hesitantly: "Yes, yes, but why are you so concerned about this house elf? It's just an elf."

He had been accustomed to being served by house elves since he was a child, and he thought they were as good as servants, no, sometimes they were even worse than servants.

Lin Xia said meaningfully: "No, Draco, these house elves are not as simple as you think.

They can perform such precise magic without using a wand, which shows that their magical talents are extraordinary. "

She paused and said, "I have a hunch that these house elves will play an important role in the future."

The compass in Lin Xia's mind moved slightly, but did not give any hint.

On the other side, Harry here.

He searched for a long time in the banquet hall and looked at many house elves, but none of them was Dobby. This made him doubt whether he had seen it wrong before.

Ron and Hermione also helped him find Dobby.

Ron couldn't help but ask: "Harry, do you miss it so much that you think that house elf looks like it? Why do I feel that these elves all look the same?"

He helped Harry search for a long time.

The elf's similar appearance almost confused his mind.

What's even worse is that even their names are the same.

One is named Duck, one is named Vic, and the other is named Rick...

Harry frowned, feeling a little unsure.

Suddenly, a thin and thin white figure flashed out of the corner of his eye.

Harry ran after him without thinking.

"Dobby, Dobby?"

He was unknowingly led by Bai Ying to an abandoned staircase in Hogwarts.

There were a lot of spider webs around, and it looked like they hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

Harry looked around and continued to call Dobby's name.

"Dobby, I know you are here. I saw you. Come out. I want to have a good communication with you and talk about the things we haven't finished talking about before."

Suddenly, the white shadow that had been hiding suddenly appeared in front of Harry.

That's Nearly Headless Nick!

Nick walked around Harry curiously, "Little wizard, how could you come to a place like this? This is not what you should have come to."

Harry looked around and felt that the surroundings seemed to be extremely cold, and a cold wind drifted towards his body from time to time.

He kept stepping back, "Um, okay, I'm sorry, I didn't know this, I came here to find someone."

"etc!"

The almost headless Nick stopped him again, waving a knight's sword in his hand, and said enthusiastically: "Since you are here, why not join our ghost party together!"

Harry was a little confused: "Gathering of ghosts?"

Nick turned his head, and Harry followed his line of sight. One after another, ghosts emitting pale white light appeared in front of him.

Harry was stunned for a moment.

No wonder his body felt extremely cold before. Maybe it was these ghosts passing through his body, but why didn't he see them before?

"You, me, I...why I couldn't see you before." Harry asked.

A ghost replied slowly: "Isn't it normal that you can't see us? Many people can't see us. It's just that the magnetic field of Hogwarts is special, making it easy for wizards to see us."

The ghost replied as he sat on the ground.

Other ghosts followed suit and sat on the ground.

Harry suddenly saw another ghost walking in from the depths of the stairs, holding a bowl of food in its hand.

It placed the food on the ground and opened the iron lid that covered it.

——It’s amazing!

Harry thought to himself, how on earth did these ghosts get their physical bodies?

It's incredible that he can pass through my body without any effects.

Nick, who was almost headless, pushed Harry and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, you're welcome, come join this party with us!"

"Harry, Harry? Are you here? Harry!"

Ron and Hermione's calls came from not far away, and the almost headless Nick's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It seems we have to welcome two guests again."

After a while, Ron and Hermione were also invited over and sat on the ground.

Ron looked at Harry and asked what was going on.

Harry shook his head at him. He didn't know what was going on.

He was inexplicably attracted by the back of Dobby, and then inexplicably came to this place.

Suddenly, Ron took a breath.

Even Hermione's eyes widened.

Harry turned his head and looked, his heart skipped a beat nervously.

At first, when he opened the first iron lid, the food under the cover was a black and gray cake. It looked like it had been stored for a long time and was obviously expired, but it didn't matter.

As the iron lids were opened one by one, the food became more and more terrifying.

What did Harry see from it?

He saw rotting animal corpses, moldy mushroom soup, spoiled bread, chopped unknown animal meat...

And the food smelled surprisingly bad!

If there were no flies in Hogwarts, there would probably be a lot of flies attracted by these foods.

Suddenly, Harry's sleeve was pulled, and Ron looked in horror at another place.

Harry was speechless.

He was wrong.

There are still flies in Hallwarts.

But even these flies are ghosts!

On the other side, Lin Xia is here.

She also found that the ghosts were unusually violent tonight.

She and Draco found that Harry and others were not there, worried that something might happen to them, and decided to look for them.

They didn't find anyone, but they found ghosts floating in the corridor.

There were ghosts of the four major colleges that they were familiar with, and there were also ghosts that they had never seen before-

These ghosts all looked strange, tall, short, fat, thin, some without noses, some without both eyes, and some with only the upper body left...

It is said that many ghosts are formed by the obsessions when they died before they died. The appearance of the ghosts at this time is enough to let people know how they were treated when they were alive.

But these ghosts don't feel sad at all.

They are just a remnant of the past obsession, immersed in the past day after day.

They have no fun, and have lost the so-called "happy" feeling.

But ghosts can still find some fun things to do.

For example, now.

Lin Xia and Draco used the invisibility spell and followed the three ghosts silently.

"Who hosted the banquet today? I heard that we have to sit on the ground and eat food with our hands like barbarians."

"It seems to be a ghost from India or some country. It has applied for Hogwarts as a ghost banquet hall for hundreds of years, and finally got this opportunity.

It wants to tell us about its country's culture, so it chose this way of eating."

"This is really a strange way, I don't like it."

A fat ghost shrugged his shoulders, and as he shrugged, one of his arms fell off.

It picked up the arm as if nothing had happened and put it back on its body, but it was a little loose.

Lin Xia followed for a while, and the fat ghost suddenly turned his head and grinned at the two of them.

"Little wizard, you have been following us for a long time. You don't have to hide from us. We are ghosts. Your magic has no effect on us. I have seen through it all."

Lin Xia stood there motionless, and her breathing rhythm did not change.

The three ghosts stopped for a while, but did not find anything unusual. They felt bored and turned their heads again.

"What a pity, there are no little wizards following us."

"I remember that when I attended the party last year, I used this trick to blow up two little wizards."

"Well, those little wizards used the invisibility spell well, and I didn't see it."

After the three ghosts left, Draco breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Lin Xia and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to continue following? I feel that their facial features are very sensitive."

Lin Xia shook her head, "No."

She thought for a while, "Let's go find Dean Sprout."

Draco asked in confusion: "Why go find the Dean?"

Lin Xia: "I don't know why, these ghosts gather together, I always feel that something bad will happen.

Although they said that they hold a banquet at Hogwarts every year, but today is the launch of the natural wand, and they appear here when the flow of people is very dense. It's a bit too coincidental."

Draco has a different opinion.

"They also said that holding a banquet requires Hogwarts to review. They must have submitted an application a long time ago, and the date was also arranged a long time ago. You are too suspicious, Lin Xia."

Lin Xia insisted on her own idea: "Let's go find the Dean."

Draco sighed helplessly.

When Lin Xia was a child, she always had the so-called sixth sense, but it was not always effective, and more often nothing would happen.

They acted quickly.

After leaving Hogwarts Castle, they came to Dean Sprout's greenhouse.

Dean Sprout was tending to her flowers and plants. Seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, she was a little surprised, but more of a worry.

"It's so late, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you not to leave Hogwarts at night?"

Lin Xia said: "Professor, I walked in the corridors of the school and found many ghosts gathered here. I felt uneasy, so I came to find you."

Sprout recalled, "Ghosts, oh, I remembered, it seems like there are ghost gatherings recently. They can hold 10 gatherings at Hogwarts every year. This is nothing special, Lin Xia."

Lin Xia reminded the dean: "Professor, today is the day of my natural wand thesis presentation. Foreign wizards who want to enter Hogwarts are subject to strict scrutiny.

But these ghosts can set the party on this day and walk around Hogwarts freely. Don't you think it's strange?

It seems that no one will conduct qualification checks on these ghosts. "

Dean Sprout thought for a while, "Wait a moment, let me check. I remember Nick once gave me an invitation letter, inviting me to attend their party."

She explained: "It invites me every time there is a party, but I never go. I am not interested in these."

The dean searched for a while and finally found the invitation letter from Nick among the dense letters. It was a long-faded invitation letter.

When the dean spread it out, several corners of the envelope were broken, as if it would turn into a pile of shredded paper at any time.

"Well, the second week of school will be held..." The dean was stunned, "The second week of school?"

She looked at Lin Xia and Draco, "Now -"

Lin Xia said with certainty: "It's only the first week of school, Dean, there's definitely something wrong with those ghosts that came over. They're floating around Hallwarts Castle so brazenly, I'm afraid they're looking for something."

The dean frowned.

She didn't think it was that serious.

"Perhaps Nick suddenly changed the time, but you are right. Today is the Nature Wand's paper conference. All outsiders must be strictly scrutinized, and ghosts are no exception. So, I will go with you and ask Nick. what happened."

When leaving the greenhouse, the dean gave the little wizard two things.

Lin Xia looked at the green fragments in her palm and recognized them as the remains of the Leaf of Awakening.

The dean warned sternly: “When you feel uncomfortable, just hold it in your mouth, it will make you feel better.

Remember to follow me closely, no matter what voice you hear, don’t look back, don’t respond to it, and guard your mind. "

Draco was confused.

But after Lin Xia's first night patrol, she immediately understood that the professor was afraid that they would be disturbed by vague murmurs.

However, the dean didn't know that the skills they cultivated in their bodies were shielding against vague gibbering.

The group entered Hogwarts safe and sound.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the three of them noticed a solemn atmosphere in the room.

There was obviously a banquet going on, but the little wizards were gathering together.

The three people walked forward to take a look, and suddenly saw a petrified ghost lying in the middle!
