Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Lin Xia wrote about the lion-tiger transformation breeding method.

This method is indeed a method that wizards figured out thousands of years ago.

It cleverly applied the transformation method to animal hybrids and cultivated successful magical biological experiments. It also used it to expand production, making it popular in the wizarding world at the time.

But Lin Xia was a little curious about why this method was lost.

The lion-tiger transformation breeding method is very different from Draco's [Weird Medicine].

The study of Weird Medicine requires planting the seeds of guidance in a specific way, and it is very restricted by the user.

If it weren't for a wizard like Draco who was born with an excellent talent for potions, he would not have been selected by Weird Medicine.

Lin Xia had a hunch that if it was a mediocre person, even if he got the seeds of this spell, he would not be able to carry forward Weird Medicine.

But the lion-tiger transformation breeding method is different.

It is already a set of scientifically summarized methods, not restricted by the user, but strict in the breeding process.

Any wizard can breed it as long as he is careful and patient.

Therefore, it is unreasonable that this cultivation method has been lost.

Lin Xia had a desire to investigate the truth of the past, but as soon as the thought arose, the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Secret Records·Furnace" in her body began to operate extremely unsmoothly.

It was as if some great terror was about to come!

She quickly waved her wand, opened her magic book, and recorded this message——

[Explore the truth of the lost history of the past]

Then, she opened the golden pocket watch in her arms and hypnotized herself without hesitation——

"Forget the thought just now."

The magic book closed automatically, the golden pocket watch turned quickly, and Lin Xia closed her eyes slightly.

After a few minutes, she opened her eyes again, Lin Xia looked down at the report she had made, and there was no previous thought in her mind.

She continued to write furiously.

The next day, Lin Xia handed the report to Professor McGonagall and put forward her own request.

"Professor, I hope to read the physical forbidden book for the second time."

Professor McGonagall's expression became cautious, and she asked solemnly: "It's only been one day, are you sure you want to read it for the second time? Why don't you organize your understanding of reading the forbidden book this time?"

Lin Xia shook her head: "Professor, the lion and tiger transformation breeding method is my biggest gain from reading the forbidden book this time. It is a skill for breeding animals. I need practice more than understanding.

If the school has determined the candidates for breeding lions and tigers, remember to tell me. I hope to participate in the breeding as an assistant.

But before that, I want to read more forbidden books to enrich and expand my thinking."

Professor McGonagall could feel the urgency of Lin Xia's words.

But any wizard will not stop his thirst for knowledge.

Especially for a talented wizard like Lin Xia, Professor McGonagall's first thought was not to curb her, but to guide her.

She said in a deep voice: "I need a more legitimate reason. You must know what the consequences will be if you read the physical forbidden book many times in a row, but why do you still choose to do it?"

Lin Xia said very firmly: "My blood with the magical Eastern Dragon tells me that I need more knowledge and more power to achieve transformation."

Professor McGonagall looked stern.

Although she is not an Eastern warlock, she knows that warlocks value blood very much, and all the power of warlocks comes from blood.

The transformation that Lin Xia is talking about is probably the transformation of warlocks.

She has traveled to the East and heard from her Eastern warlock friends that a warlock will experience 2 to 3 transformations in his life.

This kind of transformation is like a blood transfusion, and each transformation is a progress from cocoon to butterfly.

And every time they transform, the blood representing magical creatures in their bodies will become thicker and thicker.

Professor McGonagall observed Lin Xia carefully.

As a professor of the college, when she met Lin Xia this time, she noticed that Lin Xia had made some small disguises on her face.

For high-level wizards, seeing through disguises and reaching the truth is not a problem.

So she naturally discovered that Lin Xia's amber eyes were transforming into pure gold.

Her golden eyes were bright and shining.

This was obviously a change in the external appearance brought about by the further increase in the blood concentration of the Eastern Warlock.

Professor McGonagall said in silence: "I don't know much about Eastern Warlocks, but I have done some research on blood transformation. Since you really need the power of the forbidden book, I will approve your reading application.

But before that, you must do a comprehensive examination to make sure that you are not contaminated by any evil god's whispers before you can read the forbidden book."

Lin Xia felt relieved, and Professor McGonagall's words were enough.

She still had the right to read the forbidden book once, but basically after reading the forbidden book once, if you want to read it again, you have to wait at least two or three months.

If you want to read several books in a row, you must get the professor's approval.

Which professor approves is equivalent to that professor acting as your guarantor.

If something unexpected happens when she is reading the forbidden book, such as the evil god's fall, then the guarantor will also bear the corresponding responsibility.

Lin Xia left Professor McGonagall's office, thinking: her report has not been submitted yet.

Perhaps, she can submit some of the Lion Tiger School's insights on Transfiguration.

…

Test preparation takes time, so Lin Xia continued to spend time in the laboratory in the afternoon.

And Hermione finally let Ron use the transformation product.

She developed three transformation products, namely collar clip (dog form), neck bell (cat form), and fox bracelet (fox form).

These three transformation products all use camouflage spells.

Yes, Hermione successfully bypassed the potions and transformation techniques required for true transformation, and instead used the Disguise Charm to visually disguise herself.

Hermione excitedly explained her ideas, saw Lin Xia coming over, and pulled her to discuss with her.

"My idea is to simplify the complex. The only thing I worry about is that the little wizard can easily see through it if the disguise is not good enough."

Lin Xia thought: "Ordinary camouflage spells are easy to see through. Maybe we can upgrade the camouflage spell."

Hermione was surprised: "Can the spell be upgraded?"

Lin Xia waved her wand and used "Mark Appearance" to create burning lines of fire in the air, and she wrote in the air.

The original spell of the camouflage spell is split, then the alchemical runes related to camouflage are added, twisted and deformed, split again, and finally combined...

After a long series of formulas, Lin Xia finally came up with a simplified version of the formula.

Hermione was a little dazzled. From the second step onwards, she couldn't follow Lin Xia's thoughts, but she still stared at it carefully.

She murmured to herself, as if she wanted to remember all these deductions in her mind.

Lin Xia pointed at the mark and said, "This is a camouflage spell enhanced with alchemical magic. You can try to put this spell in the product.

Based on the strength, only professors should be able to break the disguise spell. Ordinary little wizards don't have this ability. "

Before Hermione could marvel at Lin Xia's whimsical ideas and her proficient use of magic text, Ron walked out.

He looked down at himself with a grimace, and said very embarrassedly: "I always feel something is wrong, it seems ugly, but I don't know what is wrong."

Hermione and Lin Xia looked up and couldn't help but be startled.

Um... something is very wrong.

Ron had a short dog tail growing from behind his butt, and two dog ears and a dog nose sprouted from his head.

Everything is normal up to here.

But there were a lot of fluffy manes on his face, covering his entire face. If his eyes and eyebrows hadn't changed, they wouldn't have recognized it as Ron!

Ron's arms were also wrong. They had a lot of fluffy dog ​​hair. He opened the wizard's robe to reveal the legs underneath. There was also a lot of dog hair, which was densely packed.

Lin Xia: "Although I hate to say it, I don't feel any beauty from this transformation."

Hermione reached out to cover her eyes in fear, not wanting to look any further. She felt that it would be too hot to look at it for a few more times!

"This is completely different from what I expected. I originally just planned to have dog ears and a dog tail."

Lin Xiati suggested: "Maybe you need to change the product again."

Hermione said with great determination: "Of course, this beast form does not suit my taste!"

She thought for a while and said, "Ron, please take off your clothes. I want to see if there is any improvement inside."

Ron immediately reached out and covered his chest. No, he immediately covered his lower part, "No, no!"

Hermione: "Well... you don't have to be so nervous. I don't want to look at you at all, really, but I have to understand the disguised flaws of this product."

Ron shook his head wildly: "No, no!"

Hermione and Lin Xia looked at each other, and Lin Xia said, "Let Harry and Draco come over and have a look, and then let them describe it to you."

Hermione said helplessly: "Okay, I think Ron just thinks too much and doesn't even know what nonsense he is thinking about."

Ron felt Hermione was humiliating him, and he had solid proof.

With the help of Harry and Draco, Hermione finally collected all the areas that needed improvement and immediately spent time in the laboratory.

This time, she was going to use the enhanced version of the disguise spell that Lin Xia gave her.

With less than ten days left before school starts, she hopes to finish this item before school starts.

…

The next day, Lin Xia handed the report on the liger transformation breeding method to Professor McGonagall, and at the same time conducted a rigorous test under the witness of Dean Sprout.

After confirming that she had not been invaded by any evil gods' murmurs, and that her resistance to the murmurs was very high.

Professor McGonagall immediately agreed to let her read the banned book.

As a layperson, she still knew that the transformation of bloodline should not be postponed, but should be resolved as soon as possible.

Before Lin Xia read the banned book, she told Mag and Sprout about her recent difficulties.

She said: "I need permission to read many banned books, whether they are physical banned books or online reading. Two professors, I hope you can help me."

Based on Lin Xia's current cooperative relationship with Hogwarts, she had only one purpose in making these requests, and that was to ask Hogwarts to help her solve it.

Any ordinary little wizard would not have the confidence to say these words.

But if it were Lin Xia, that would be possible!

This is the confidence that we have collaborated with several times!

After Lin Xia entered the forbidden book area, Mag and Sprout sat down.

While they leisurely made a cup of black tea, ate delicious butter biscuits, and flower cakes made by Sprout's morning flowers, they discussed Lin Xia's request just now.

Sprout said admiringly: "She is the most thoughtful student I have ever seen. Her relationship with the school is not simply a relationship between a student and a place for teaching and learning. She relies on the school and regards herself as a part of Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement. She also likes the feeling of being trusted by students.

In the eyes of many students, she is unkind, old-fashioned and strict.

But in the eyes of good students, Professor McGonagall has a very good image. She will consider the difficulties of excellent young wizards and provide them with solutions.

Now, Lin Xia has also reached this critical decision point.

Sprout asked curiously, "I just don't know why she suddenly wants to read so many banned books?

It's okay to be thirsty for knowledge, but banned books are still too dangerous for her.

Even adult wizards like us can't be sure that we won't be disturbed by the evil god's whispers attached to the banned books."

Professor McGonagall pondered, "Her parents are both Eastern sorcerers with dragon blood.

Yesterday Lin Xia told me that her blood is in the process of transformation. I'm afraid she will have to undergo a deep awakening, so she really needs to gain knowledge."

Sprout's expression became serious, "Eastern sorcerer... Blood awakening and transformation are indeed very important."

After a long while, she said, "I will be her guarantor."

Professor McGonagall smiled, "What a coincidence, I will also be Lin Xia's guarantor."

As for Lin Xia.

This time she stepped into the metal space and used Transfiguration to summon the mist insects as usual, wanting to see if she could have the same induction as the day before yesterday.

But this time, maybe she was unlucky. She stood there and watched for a long time, but there was no voice from the bottom of her heart calling her over.

So Lin Xia walked forward casually, and chose whichever one she felt.

Soon, she stopped beside a gorgeous flower.

This flower was very strange. It was purple, with seven-star spots on it and serrated edges.

And the form of the book outside was 60% likely to be related to the content of the book.

Lin Xia felt that the book represented by this flower should be related to "poison".

She looked up and looked far ahead, and the scenes of many flowers, plants and trees were swept across her eyes.

After confirming that none of these scenes made her heart move.

Lin Xia decisively reached out and grabbed the purple flower.

The moment she entered the book reading space, the crystal ball placed outside immediately became blurry.

The two professors immediately sensed it carefully.

Although they thought it would not be such a coincidence, what if Lin Xia had a high fit phenomenon after reading the banned book this time?

Does this mean that Hogwarts can add another inheritance?

Thinking of this, the two professors became more cautious.

After a while, the professors' solemn eyebrows and eyes relaxed, but they were still carefully sensing Lin Xia.

McGonagall: "I felt the intention just after reading for a while. It seems that she did not find a highly fit banned book this time."

Sprout: "This anomaly is not worth mentioning to Lin Xia. You should pay more attention to the stability of the space."

Last time, when Lin Xia finished reading, the whole space almost collapsed.

But Lin Xia was immersed in reading, and he didn't hear anything outside the window. He only read the banned book and didn't notice the abnormality of the space at all.

Or maybe he noticed it, but thought it was an illusion, so he didn't care about his own safety at all and continued to read.

Who would have thought that this was true?

They pulled her out in a thrilling way.

Every student has a different experience when reading banned books.

There have been students like Lin Xia who have read to the point where their space has collapsed, but it is rare and considered a very dangerous situation.

Most of the anomalies encountered by students are relatively mild.

On the other side.

Here is Draco.

His weird medicine has finally made some progress.

The main reason is that the prerequisites drawn today are not so abstract. The first step is to dissolve white paper in water and use it as a reagent base liquid.

This prerequisite will follow the entire experiment.

Because many steps in the weird medicine later require this base liquid.

The first step of the prerequisite is done, and then the narcissus juice is extracted. The location of the operation is very particular, and the juice of the root and rhizome at the bottom must be extracted...

After the first step is done, the second step, the third step, the fourth step... Draco progressed rapidly and soon came to the seventh step.

He is not far from completing the nine steps required.

But he was stuck at the seventh step.

After he finished the sixth step, the seventh step naturally came to his mind: a fart.

[Move the reagent under the buttocks and accept the fart gas to complete the seventh step]

Draco's face twisted instantly.

Is this really a potion preparation, not a joke?

Weird pharmacy, it's really weird, pharmacy.

In the end, Draco didn't let the reagent accept the fart gas within the limited two hours, so this attempt failed again.

As for Harry, he went to Hagrid's hut and wanted to talk to Hagrid alone.

He didn't know how to get to the point. Whenever he saw Hagrid's honest and simple face, he couldn't accept that it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

This is impossible!

How could someone like Hagrid open the Chamber of Secrets?

Harry believed that even if he could open it, he would never open it. After all, once the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a bloody purge would be carried out.

"Hagrid."

In the hut, Harry held warm ginger tea in his hands, and the small snowflakes falling on his head and shoulders melted, making him wet.

He had to move closer to the fireplace to dry off the heat and prepare for Hagrid's tirade.

Hagrid looked over and said, "What's the matter, little wizard, do you need anything? Oh, I saw your wizard robe is wet, why don't you put on my clothes first?"

Harry shook his head and made up his mind: "Hagrid, I came here this time to ask you about the Chamber of Secrets."

Hagrid: "Chamber of Secrets?"

He frowned, and his rough face seemed to be folded. This word reminded him of some bad experiences at Hogwarts.

"What secret room? I don't have a secret room here, and I don't understand what a secret room is."

Harry stared at Hagrid with his green eyes and said softly: "Hagrid, you feel guilty. You must know something. This word reminds you of something. You used to-"

He paused and asked very softly: "Have you ever opened the secret room?"

Strangely enough, his voice was very low, but Hagrid heard it all.

He stood up and walked out, as if refusing to communicate: "Harry, I don't know what you are talking about. I can only say that I have no comment."

Harry quickly stood up and followed him out.

"No, you know, I just want to know the truth from decades ago! Someone told me that the secret room was once opened, and the person who opened it was you!"

Hagrid left, turned around, and said with a serious face: "Harry, I don't know where you heard this from, but I will never be the one to open the Chamber of Secrets. I don't even know if the Chamber of Secrets has been opened! "

Harry asked anxiously: "What happened to Myrtle? She was the victim after the Chamber of Secrets was opened. She died!"

Hagrid had already walked into the snow.

He stopped, looked back at Harry in the warm cabin, and said in a very calm tone:

"Harry, I don't know how she died. Just because there were spiders where she died, everyone thought I was the murderer.

I also had doubts about the spider I raised at that time, but Aragog told me that it was not him who killed Myrtle. It had been kept in the closet by me and had never gone out.

Harry, stop your investigation. You are delving into something very scary. Don't let your curiosity go too far.

No matter what, there must be a truth. "

Under Harry's gaze, Hagrid walked farther and farther and fell into a snowstorm.

Harry held the kerosene lamp and wanted to catch up, but it seemed like there was a nail that pinned him firmly in place.

He reaffirmed his feeling that Hagrid was definitely not the one to open the Chamber of Secrets!

…

"So, what do you think?"

In the laboratory, Hermione was watching the trial product and Ron transformed again.

The camouflage is much better this time. The hair on the face has been removed, but the hair on the arms is still very strong.

While she was circling Ron, imagining a more perfect image of the beast in her mind, she answered Harry's words and was not slow in analyzing them.

Harry said: "I decided to go find Aragog and ask him the truth about that year."

Hermione asked Ron to turn around a few times and said, "It's a very good idea, but there is one question. How do you know that Hagrid's spider is still there?"

Harry: "I have read Hagrid's feeding diary. He goes to feed Aragog every once in a while."

Hermione: "Any idea where it is?"

"The diary says it is in the southeast corner of the Forbidden Forest. I still remember the map. I should be able to find the location."

Hermione raised her head and looked at Harry: "Okay, after I finish designing this product, I will go to the Forbidden Forest with you to find out what's going on."

Harry hesitated.

Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Don't tell me that you want to take risks alone."

Harry: "I..."

Hermione shook her head and her eyes were firm: "If you go to the Forbidden Forest alone, I am always worried that one day I will receive news that you are buried in the Forbidden Forest. We must go together."

On the other side, Lin Xia is here.

The visions she had while reading the forbidden book escalated again.
