Hogwarts starts with stealing power

After the little wizards had their fill of delicious food, the atmosphere was finally no longer so heavy.

Harry couldn't help but smile when he saw Dobby, the house elf working here.

Dobby seemed to have adapted to his new life and was very happy in Hogwarts.

Ron looked at Harry: "So Harry, have you seen a big black dog anywhere?"

He was still worried about Harry's prophecy.

Harry was silent for a while and said, "I saw one the night I left the Dursleys."

With a click, Ron's fork fell on the plate.

"Maybe it was a stray dog." Hermione said calmly.

Ron stared at Hermione as if Hermione was crazy.

"Hermione, if Harry saw an ominous sign, then - that's too bad!" He said, "My uncle Bill saw an ominous sign, and he died twenty-four hours later!"

"Coincidence!" Hermione said indifferently, pouring herself a glass of pumpkin juice.

Ron turned to look at Lin Xia and asked eagerly, "What do you think?"

Lin Xia...

Lin Xia naturally had no idea. The pattern of tea leaves in her teacup was a scale.

This scale was probably referring to the scale of fate in her body, but she was not sure whether the scale would bring her good or bad.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "Ron, those who believe in this will believe it, and those who don't believe it won't matter.

Besides, it's been a long time since Harry saw the stray dog."

She looked at Harry.

Harry nodded and said, "Well, at least half a month or a month."

Hermione shrugged: "If you ask me, this is just nonsense speculation. I think this Divination class is a mess! This class is not as accurate as my Arithmancy class!"

Ron said dissatisfiedly: "Professor Trelawney said that you don't have the right aura, you are not suitable for Divination at all, you are just used to being strong and can't accept that you don't have talent in this area!"

This sentence touched Hermione's sore spot. She closed the book with a snap, and the food on the table couldn't help but shake.

"If you ask me, if learning Divination well means that I pretend to see the omen of death in a pile of tea leaves, then I might not learn it. Compared with my Arithmancy class, this class is a pile of garbage!"

Hermione stood up and ran away angrily.

Ron frowned and muttered, "She always keeps talking about arithmetic and divination class. How can she find time to learn it?"

Lin Xia said at this time, "Okay, let's pack up quickly. We have to go to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. The difficulty of Transfiguration class will increase a lot this semester. If we miss a class, we will definitely fall behind by more than half."

She suddenly paused, turned her head and glanced at a corner of the Great Hall, and whispered:

"Besides, Trelawney not only predicted Harry, but also other little wizards. Mikel was also predicted, but do you understand the prediction of Mikel?"

As soon as these words came out, Harry, Ron and Draco all looked confused.

Draco asked hurriedly: "Mickle was predicted, I didn't hear it!"

Ron and Harry also nodded repeatedly, looking at Lin Xia with curiosity.

Now it was Lin Xia's turn to frown.

She was very sure that her memory was not wrong.

Lin Xia said, "Didn't you hear it? It's right after Trelawney commented on Hermione's lack of aura, saying that he was a despicable person who stole destiny."

Ron said, "You didn't hear it. What did you say he was?"

Lin Xia raised her eyebrows, "A despicable person who stole destiny."

The three people were still looking at Lin Xia expectantly, hoping that she could say it.

Lin Xia understood everything.

Perhaps due to some kind of rule, she could say this sentence, but others could not hear it.

Lin Xia had a hunch that perhaps even Trelawney didn't know that she had predicted Mikkel.

She spread her hands, "No, I thought about it again, I heard it wrong, the professor didn't say anything."

Lin Xia urged them, "Okay, let's go to the Transfiguration class quickly, I can't wait to perform the Transfiguration!"

After a while, they came to the classroom.

This school year, Transfiguration is still a major course, and young wizards cannot take it as an elective.

If nothing unexpected happens, this course will accompany them until the seventh school year until graduation.

But Lin Xia remembered what Cedric said, that Transfiguration actually has small-class teaching.

That was organized by Professor McGonagall herself, and it was open to wizards with good Transfiguration talents. They needed to get an invitation letter from the professor.

With her Transfiguration qualifications, it should not be difficult to get an invitation letter.

In the new semester, the Transfiguration knowledge they learned was indeed much more advanced. Professor McGonagall told everyone about advanced Transfiguration - Animagus.

After explaining part of the theory, Professor McGonagall performed it herself, allowing everyone to see her transform from a wizard into a small and cute tabby cat.

There were traces of glasses around the eyes of this cat, which was very characteristic of the professor.

Professor McGonagall said: "The transformation performed by Animagus is basically for a lifetime and cannot be changed, unless you are a special Animagus who can change freely and at will."

She changed her words, "But the probability of this is very small. Looking at the entire history of wizards, there will be no more than 10 people."

In the past, when she talked about this theory, the little wizards would cheer or exclaim loudly, but today everyone was listless.

Professor McGonagall once again transformed herself from a tabby cat into a wizard.

"What's wrong with you today? You are all so lifeless. Do you have holiday syndrome and are tired of studying as soon as the school starts?"

This was the first time she performed a transformation and did not get the applause of the little wizards.

Hermione raised her palm high, stood up and said, "Professor, we just had the first divination class and interpreted the tea leaves. The result is-"

"Then I understand," Professor McGonagall interrupted her and frowned, "Tell me, who among you will die?"

The little wizards looked at her in surprise and finally gave her a little reaction.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Harry.

Harry had to stand up, "It's me, professor. Professor Trelawney said that I encountered an ominous omen, which is a bad omen of death."

Professor McGonagall stared at him, not panicking at all.

"Then you may need to know one thing, Potter. Since Sybill Trelawney came to this school, she has predicted that a student will die every year, but so far, none of them have died.

She likes to welcome a new class by looking at the omen of death. If I hadn't said anything bad about my colleagues--"

At this point, McGonagall paused and said, "Divination is the least rigorous branch of magic. To be honest, I don't have much patience for it.

There are very few real prophets, and Professor Trelawney is just--"

She paused again and looked at Harry with a critical look: "In my opinion, you are in good health."

The serious Professor McGonagall even made a little joke, "Please forgive me for not exempting you from your homework today. If you really die, you don't have to hand in your homework."

Everyone laughed and felt relieved.

Harry's mood also improved a lot, and he listened to the class more seriously.

Unfortunately, he knew that he really didn't have much talent for transformation.

The one who stole the show in this class was still Lin Xia.

Although she was not a student of her college, Professor McGonagall still asked Lin Xia to stand in front of the podium and demonstrate the transformation herself, and praised the objects she transformed:

"This is a perfect and extremely standard transformation!"

Of course, not every little wizard was immersed in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Although the Transfiguration classroom was bright, dispelling the red light of the Divination class, it was not surrounded by the almost dizzying aroma.

When Ron was struggling with Transfiguration, Lavender Brown, who was sitting next to him, whispered: "But what about Neville's cup?"

The fear surged again, and Ron said worriedly: "I don't know either."

Finally, the Transfiguration class was over, and the little wizards ran to the auditorium for lunch.

Lin Xia ate a little quickly and ran to the laboratory during the lunch break. She had an experiment to do.

Draco must have kept up. Since he followed Lin Xia, his grades have never fallen behind.

Hermione didn't want to fall behind, so she pulled Ron and Harry over and did research together.

Ron and Harry were still assigned the task of familiarizing themselves with magic runes, but this time Hermione also came to their side and read magic runes with them.

Hermione said, "Originally I wanted to study other topics, but Lin Xia said that my progress in magic runes was far behind yours, so she asked me to learn with you."

The longer you study, the more you will understand that each field is very subdivided.

The fields related to magic runes are high-end research among high-end research.

The alchemy research derived from magic runes can make related strange objects; the research on magic rune arrays derived from magic runes can turn decay into magic, and a simple array can take the lives of a large group of people.

In addition, magic runes are also related to ancient magic.

Although ancient magic is cumbersome to use and some of its power is still very weak, there are also many powerful ones, which are beyond the reach of modern magic.

As she watched, Hermione suddenly looked up and said, "Ron, stop sighing. Didn't you hear what Professor McGonagall said? Trelawney's prediction is unreliable!"

Ron: "I think it's unreliable, but Harry has already met her prediction. He met that big black dog!"

Hermione made the same statement for the third time today: "Maybe it was a stray dog."

Ron said tangledly: "You, you don't understand, encountering an ominous omen--"

"No, I understand!" Hermione interrupted forcefully, "Harry is right next to us, do you want him to be in danger?"

Ron: "Of course I don't!"

Hermione: "Then don't always look worried in front of him, it's disgusting to look at."

Harry looked left and right, not knowing which friend to comfort first.

In the research room, Draco was helping Lin Xia with her research. They were studying a special type of wand.

Lin Xia's idea was that she was interested in binding magic and wanted to develop a wand that had a strong bonus to binding magic.

This idea made Draco feel a little satisfied.

On the one hand, he thought Lin Xia was daydreaming.

But on the other hand, he thought Lin Xia's idea might work.

Whether it was the magnetic wand or the natural wand, they actually had no bonus for specific magic, so why not develop one that could specifically add bonus?

For example, their specially customized wands are customized based on their magic power and temperament, and every magic they use is as easy as their own.

There are some fiery wizards who, with the corresponding wands, have a strong bonus to fire-attribute spells.

Draco praised: "Lin Xia, if you really make this type of wand, I believe that all major institutions will increase their efforts in research on wands!"

Who would have thought that a magic wand could do this?

Lin Xia smiled and said nothing, this was indeed very possible.

She might get a lot of orders for custom-made wands of some kind, but she wouldn't be able to take them.

The reason why this wand is made is because the production method has long been introduced by Zhiming Luopan.

She just needs to follow the steps to get what she wants.

But if you were to research a new wand from scratch, the research and development would take several years.

How can it take so much time?

While the two were testing materials, Draco chatted about today's events: "How do you arrange for Hermione to learn magic texts? I'm afraid Ron will quarrel with her again."

Lin Xia: "She should have supplemented her knowledge on magic texts a long time ago. I think her intelligence can be used in magic texts. If you don't study hard, you will be caught up by Hermione soon."

Draco's mind trembled, thinking of Hermione's arrogant look, which he quite admired.

But if this pride is for yourself...

He still hopes that he is better than Hermione, so that Hermione can speak softly.

"By the way, what do you think of Trelawney's divination?" Draco asked curiously, "Professor McGonagall doesn't care at all. I think Hermione doesn't care either, but what about you?"

Lin Xia smiled lightly, "Draco, you should know that I am a person who believes in intuition very much, and in my eyes, intuition is actually a kind of divination."

She said with certainty: "I believe in divination."

Draco asked hesitantly: "Then do you think Harry will die?"

Lin Xia shook his head: "I think he can see death, but death is probably someone else."

She saw with her own eyes how the Fate Compass described Harry. He was the destined son of this world, a person cultivated by Dumbledore himself.

Even if Harry really wanted to die, it wouldn't be that easy.

After hurriedly doing a few sets of experiments, Lin Xia and the others returned to their busy studies.

In the third grade, their course pressure is getting heavier day by day.

There are two classes in the morning and one class in the afternoon, and this week’s schedule is still full for two days!

Fortunately, the little wizards are looking forward to the afternoon class, which is the Care of Magical Creatures class!

This class was taught by Hagrid, as the first class for the new professor.

Lin Xia specially observed the young wizards who came to class. Half were from Gryffindor, and the other half were divided between the three major colleges.

The Care of Magical Creatures class is not only taught by Hagrid, but there are three other professors. Judging from the students taking this class, they are actually biased towards Hagrid.

Hagrid studied in Gryffindor before, and the wizards of Gryffindor also loved him and had the best relationship with him. (End of chapter)
