Hogwarts starts with stealing power

This is the second time Lin Xia has seen the materials that rejuvenate pet eggs.

The first time I saw it was in the secret key, and I saw part of it directly from the redemption list.

But some materials are not displayed.

Originally, she was thinking about unlocking the permissions and maybe getting it, but now it seems that as long as she breaks through a world-class wizard problem, there may be hope for the resurrection of the pet egg.

Lin Xiafu lowered his head again and glanced at the difficult question raised by Mr. Ollivander.

He picked the first one——

"How to solve the problem of incompatibility between the wand and magic power in the secret realm"!

It's night again.

Even on weekends, Lin Xia was recruited to serve as a strong man, patrolling Hogwarts at night.

On the bright side.

The crisis in Hogwarts has been resolved, and the little wizard believes that there will be no more problems in Hogwarts.

But in fact.

As an outstanding student, Lin Xia was deeply touched by the fact that her professors moved her around like bricks.

Hogwarts is loose on the outside but tight on the inside!

Although Lin Xia was temporarily summoned to watch the night this time, Lin Xia was still issued protective items such as leaves of clarity to prevent her from losing consciousness when faced with gibbering.

However, with Lin Xia's physique, which is completely resistant to mumbling, giving out these things is equivalent to giving out welfare.

Before the night patrol, Professor McGonagall said seriously: "This time we not only need to catch the little wizards wandering at night and urge them to return to the common room as soon as possible, but we also need to collect abnormal phenomena and make a report and send it up."

"Abnormal phenomenon?" Lin Xia asked involuntarily.

Professor Snape's condescending voice came: "Why, our famous outstanding student Lin Xia doesn't know what abnormal phenomena are. Do you still need a professor to help you popularize science?"

Lin Xia ignored Snape's sudden harsh words and asked calmly: "I don't know what abnormal phenomena are. Everything in Hogwarts is extremely magical to me. Maybe the abnormalities in my eyes are not the same in Hogwarts." Tsiri is just normal.”

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment: "It's my fault. I forgot to tell you what an abnormality is."

She waved her magic wand, and five automatic quills floated up together with five pieces of white paper. The automatic quills leaped across the white paper like dancing.

After a while, I wrote down lines of precautions.

Then she waved her wand again and handed four blank papers to the students. As for the professor, she ignored them.

Even outside professors' understanding of "abnormal phenomena" is not comparable to that of ordinary students.

This time, a new professor was added to the night watch, namely Professor Lockhart.

He was standing next to Lin Xia.

When Lin Xia lowered his head to read the instructions on the paper, he also poked his head and read along.

After Lin Xia finished reading, he looked up and saw that Lockhart immediately turned his head and waved his arm as if nothing happened.

"The weather is so nice today! No, the night sky is so bright tonight!"

Lin Xia looked around and saw that this abandoned classroom had no windows.

Professor McGonagall said: "Okay, the time has come. We have to go on patrol as soon as possible."

As soon as Lin Xia walked out of the door, Professor Lockhart's voice came: "Lin Xia, wait for me!"

Lin Xia asked with eyes open.

Professor Lockhart said: "Is this your first time on night patrol? I'm on night patrol with you." He waved his wand specifically, revealing his strong-looking arm muscles. "If you encounter danger, I can still protect you." you."

Lin Xia shook his head: "Professor, I have already patrolled the night once, and I can complete the task alone. How about you go find the students who need more protection?"

Lockhart was a little surprised, "Who else?"

Lin Xia smiled slightly: "Draco, as an excellent student, is participating in the night watch for the first time. You can stay with him and tutor him."

Sell ​​your teammates decisively!

Professor Lockhart said: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look now!"

When Lockhart turned around, Lin Xia quickly dodged to another corridor and disappeared in a few seconds.

At this moment, Lockhart, who was halfway there, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: "Lin Xia, I didn't see which direction Draco was going, you..."

Lockhart looked around, "Hey, where are the people?"

At this time, Lin Xia had already arrived at the Gryffindor lounge through a certain route.

She stood at the door of the lounge, with the fat lady in the frame, elegantly raising her glass and chatting with her.

"Little witch, don't you have a glass of red wine?"

Lin Xia said politely: "Madam, I am not yet a minor!"

The fat lady covered her mouth and snickered: "It's my fault. I almost forgot that you are not yet an adult, but in many ways, you are more sane and stable than an adult wizard."

Lin Xia asked curiously: "For example?"

The fat lady took a sip of red wine and complained: "For example, your new professor, I have never seen such a narcissistic person!

Not only did he torture his own portrait frame, he also wanted to torture me. He clearly didn’t know the Gryffindor password, but he kept asking me to chat and asked me if he was handsome, but no one cares if he is handsome or not. Woolen cloth! "

Lin Xia covered her mouth and snickered.

Even though she was handsome, it was impossible for the Fat Lady to escape from the portrait frame and date Professor Lockhart.

Lin Xia suddenly thought of something and asked, "Madam, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"

The fat lady asked, "Something abnormal?"

She said regretfully: "Yes, there are fewer and fewer young couples dating in school. Hogwarts seems to be very relaxed recently, but in fact it has been under martial law, and young couples from different houses cannot go out. .

The day before yesterday, I saw McGonagall catch a couple having a tryst. It was really a case of breaking up a couple. I cried for the couple. What will happen if their relationship is unstable in the future..."

Lin Xia listened patiently to the Fat Lady's chatter.

After a few minutes, she finally said what she wanted to hear.

"Recently, there are always strangers coming over and want me to open the door of the Gryffindor common room, but they don't know the password."

Lin Xia asked sharply: "Strangers? Aren't they Gryffindor students?"

Fat Lady: "Students? No, no, no, I don't think they are dressed like students."

She wrinkled her nose in disdain, "It smells bad, not as pure as students, but smells like a dark wizard."

Lin Xia recorded the message.

"Have you discussed this issue with other frames? Have they encountered it too? "

The Fat Lady seemed to be awakened, and said excitedly: "We haven't communicated. I will go and ask now. Just visit. Don't miss me too much, little witch~

When you are thinking about me, I am lying in the luxurious swimming pool and sunbathing. There is also delicious wine next to the pool.

Oh, maybe I can ask friends to come over for a party. We haven't communicated together for a while. It's all because Hogwarts has been a little abnormal recently, so we have to stay in our respective jobs..."

After a while, the Fat Lady disappeared from the frame.

Soon after it left, the door of the Gryffindor common room opened from the inside. Lin Xia looked over and saw that there was no one.

She cast a spell without sound and wand, and cast the counter-spell of the invisibility spell to break the invisibility spell.

Looking over again, George and Fred were waving at her.

"Can't she see us?"

"But she should be able to hear us talking."

"But wouldn't it be a bit strange to talk to a ball of air?"

Lin Xia spoke at this time: "I can see you. Take me to the place where you found the abnormality before. "

George and Fred said in unison: "Yes, guest!"

George and Fred will participate in the night patrol tonight, mainly because Lin Xia wants to know where they found the anomaly.

If they lead the way, they will not get lost and it will be more convenient.

Lin Xia found that the twins were holding a parchment in their hands while leading the way, and they looked down from time to time.

She glanced at it and saw that the parchment should be a map with a complicated route.

But the reason why it was complicated was that there were too many densely packed words on it.

Sometimes the words that suddenly appeared would cover the original route of the map.

Wait, words?

Lin Xia was stunned. How did she see her name on the parchment just now!

Looking carefully, isn't the name of each little wizard recorded on this parchment?

Even the names of the major professors are recorded on it.

Lin Xia frowned: "Senior Weasley, your parchment-"

"Shh! "Before she finished her words, George made a hushing gesture to her.

Fred pointed to a small corner in front.

In the shadow of that corner, a tiny yellow light flickered gently.

If you don't pay attention, it will be overlooked.

Lin Xia found that it was Filch!

Filch deliberately squatted in the corner to see if any little wizard would fall into his trap!

Beside him, Mrs. Norris was also waiting quietly. Her calm eyes would suddenly become sharp when she saw the students.

Mrs. Norris's chance of catching a student is higher than that of a professor.

Lin Xia walked over and took the initiative to greet: "Administrator Filch, Mrs. Norris."

Filch moved his hand slowly, changed the position of the coal lamp, and said in a hoarse voice: "I seemed to hear you talking to someone just now."

Lin Xia: "Sometimes I talk to myself, not talking to anyone, but talking to myself, confirming or denying some of my thoughts. "

Filch stopped talking.

His huge pupils stared at Lin Xia, and then slowly looked away.

Although he felt that Lin Xia was lying, he did not want to expose her. Compared with those students who only made trouble, Lin Xia was obviously different.

Lin Xia glanced at Mrs. Norris.

A lot of amulets were hung on its thin cat neck.

Filch seemed to have strengthened its protection recently.

Lin Xia was sure that even if the wizards from outside were to deal with the little wizards, it would be better to deal with Mrs. Norris.

Given the density of the amulets, wizards really couldn't break them for a while, unless they encountered a high-level strong man and crushed them directly.

But often once such a strong man appeared in Hogwarts, other strong men would naturally sense it and confront him.

So in Hogwarts, Mrs. Norris could walk sideways at this time.

Lin Xia was about to say goodbye to Administrator Filch, but suddenly thought of something and turned around and said, "Administrator Filch, Mr. Ollivander sent me a letter today, which was about the news of the wizarding world's joint intelligence competition.

You asked me before if I could propose a topic to solve the problem of "dumb guns can sense magic but cannot use magic".

I reported this topic to Mr. Ollivander, and he also helped me push it up. The organizing committee unanimously agreed that this topic is very meaningful to study and solve.

But because other topics have higher priority, this topic was placed at the third priority.

Lin Xia paused, "It may take several years, or even more than ten years, to be solved."

However, Filch did not feel disappointed!

On the contrary, he felt very excited!

Every word Lin Xia said was like a surprise of gold, falling on him.

Filch's hunched body straightened a little. If he did not have to maintain a rigid, serious and solemn posture, he would have wanted to lift Mrs. Norris and dance on the spot!

The study of "how to make Squibs use magic" was actually listed as the third priority!

What does this mean?

There are so many problems waiting to be solved in the wizarding world. In comparison, Squibs are not taken seriously.

But this time, it was listed as the third priority, which proves that many wizards have not forgotten the plight of Squibs!

Just as many Squibs have not given up on themselves, many wizards have not given up on Squibs!

Filch looked at Lin Xia deeply and bowed to her.

Lin Xia stepped back a few steps, refused his greeting, and said, "It's too heavy, you don't have to do this."

Filch's voice was hoarse.

It was as if mixed with moist wind, passing through the dry throat, and when the sound came out, it had become a strange tone that sounded like a smile or a cry.

"But before that, not many wizards thought about us, and you are willing to help us, which is good." He stuttered.

In his cold and hard life, he had never spoken so softly, and he had never been so grateful to someone.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's really heavy. Let's put it this way. If you feel very sorry and want to thank me, you can tell me some abnormalities that have happened in Hogwarts recently. I am investigating this matter."

Filch whispered, "If I find anything, I will report it to you."

Mrs. Norris noticed Filch's joy, rubbed Filch's legs with her body, and called softly.

Before Lin Xia left, she also said specifically, "You go back to rest first, don't stay outside for too long, so as not to be disturbed."

Shallow and vague mumbling is useless for wizards, but for squibs, Lin Xia is not sure.

George and Fred talked about Filch as they walked.

George: "I have never seen him respect others so much. Except for Dumbledore, he has never bowed his head to anyone, even to professors."

Fred: "Who told you not to solve the problem of squibs? If you were a research-oriented scholar like Lin Xia, you would get Filch's respect."

George: "No, I don't want Filch to think about me all day and stare at me."

Filch is an administrator who specializes in catching disobedient students.

With the twins' temperament, they don't know how many times they have had conflicts with Filch. It is normal for them to have no feelings for Filch.

Suddenly, George stopped, "It's here. I saw the pages of the book suddenly turning outside that classroom."

Lin Xia pushed open the door of the classroom.

The books on the table were not turned, but she suddenly stopped and heard some cold, damp, and extremely evil voice.

"Tear up... kill... purify..."
