Hogwarts starts with stealing power

After Harry and others hurriedly washed up, they came to the Great Hall.

It was found that Lin Xia, Draco and the twin seniors had all gathered together for breakfast.

After they went back, they looked in the mirror. Although they had a good night's sleep, their faces were somewhat pale. One look at them could tell that they looked bad and lacked rest.

In contrast, Lin Xia and others all had rosy faces and looked well rested.

Ron walked over and couldn't help but ask: "Draco, did you sleep well last night?"

Draco nodded: "Slept well."

Hermione asked curiously: "Did you also use defensive magic spells?"

Draco raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "No, I don't need to use these. The defensive objects I wear are enough to shield me from subsequent intrusions caused by strange objects."

Hermione turned to look at Lin Xia again.

Lin Xia automatically answered: "I don't need to use these. My physique is good and I can get through it with a little resistance."

Harry asked worriedly: "Will we suffer this kind of interference again in the future?

He added: "My thinking is that we can't just pitch a tent in the common room every day and be guarded by George and Fred."

Lin Xia: "Don't go to such trouble. When you encounter a foreign object for the first time, you just need to be careful about your reaction that night. The subsequent effects will gradually disappear as time goes by."

This was also the reason why she had to let the Weasley twins guard Harry and the others on the first night, for fear that something would go wrong.

When you see a strange object for the first time, you will easily suffer from heart palpitations and nightmares, and your mental state will be unstable. In your dreams, you will be pulled into the world of evil gods.

Once you are pulled in, you will inevitably be disturbed by the evil god's whispers.

Until then, I'm afraid I'll have to take cold pills regularly to stay emotionally sane.

Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "You guys come to the laboratory at noon, and I will give you some resources to resist the intrusion of chatter, so you can go back to the dormitory to sleep peacefully."

Harry and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

While they were having breakfast, other little wizards arrived one after another.

Lin Xia used the "super-sensory spell" to amplify her ear power. After listening for a while, she suddenly heard a piece of news.

"I just went to the 4th floor and found that it was blocked and a no-entry sign was erected."

"No one was allowed in last night, but the bars were just put up. When I went to see it today, the isolation was even tighter."

"The sign said no one could enter for the next week. The classroom walls were old and needed to be renovated."

Fourth floor?

Isn't that the floor where they found the strange thing?

It seems that the professor wanted to find out the origin of the strange object, so he simply sealed off the entire fourth floor.

It's just that Lin Xia is not optimistic about their tracking behavior. If it can be discovered so easily, he will not wait until the strange objects are cultivated before anyone hears the movement.

Suddenly, the fateful compass in Lin Xia's mind turned and stopped at the "Fuji" column, and a picture fragment flashed through his mind.

In the picture, Ron was using magic to clean the medal display room with an excited expression, his lips moving slightly, as if he was singing a song.

Behind him, there was a small and exquisite locket that danced as he sang.

Wait, jump?

This locket is a dead object, how could it possibly jump?

Lin Xia narrowed her eyes slightly. The most bizarre thing in this picture was the locket.

Lin Xia turned to look at Ron and asked casually: "I just heard a message that the fourth floor will be completely sealed off for a week, and the professors should increase their efforts to search for strange objects.

Ron, I remember that the medal display room is also on the fourth floor. You were put into confinement before we discovered the strange object.

Did you notice anything wrong while you were in confinement? "

Hearing this, the others also looked at Ron.

Ron recalled carefully, shook his head and said, "No, I went to Filch's office to wait.

Later, under the leadership of Mrs. Loris, we arrived at the prize display room.

I finished the cleaning with the magic 'Clean Up' and then sang there and nothing happened. "

Lin Xia was silent.

From what she saw, Ron's expression was indeed very relaxed.

Instead, the locket danced behind him, as if trying to attract his attention.

Unfortunately, it met Ron, a very nervous student, and didn't notice anything was wrong at all.

Ron quickly asked: "Did something happen in the medal display room?"

Lin Xia shook his head: "No, I just asked casually."

The morning class was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

In this class, she rarely mentioned to everyone the advanced transformation technique - Animagus, which can only be learned in senior grades.

She said meaningfully: "For ordinary wizards, Animagus is a magic that they will never be exposed to in their lifetime, and it is too difficult to complete its prerequisites.

But for students with outstanding talents, my suggestion is to complete it as early as possible under the guidance of professors.

At critical moments, Animagus can help you survive the crisis. "

Hannah raised her hand and asked: "Professor, my transformation talent is average, can I also try to transform?"

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and said: "In the most critical transformation step, don't try it rashly, you must have a professor by your side.

But in addition to those tedious pre-tasks, I recommend that each of you try it. "

She suddenly smiled from her serious face: "Transfiguration is a rigorous subject. I don't want to use vague terms like 'luck' to make you think that everyone can do it.

However, magic is very magical and mysterious. When you are about to give up, perhaps the goddess of magic will give you a push from behind."

Professor McGonagall's words rekindled the passion of many students who wanted to give up.

-

Until the end of the get out of class, the little wizards were still excitedly discussing Animagus, even Harry and Ron were no exception.

Hermione saw that their chat was getting more and more outrageous. It seemed that everyone could become an Animagus and use their animal form to stir up trouble in the wizarding world.

She couldn't help but cough a few times and said loudly in the Great Hall:

"Animagus is an extremely dangerous transformation activity, and it can only be completed by those with super high Transfiguration talent. By the way, you also need excellent potion talent!"

Ron didn't want to be hit by Hermione, and asked questioningly: "Why do you need potion talent?"

Hermione's eyes widened, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a simple question.

She looked at Ron with a look of idiocy: "You are talking about Animagus here, don't you go to search for the steps to complete it?

You need to make the potion by yourself, and finally take the potion crystal bottle containing your own mixture to succeed."

Hermione's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring on the little wizard's heart, calming their overheated emotions a little.

But it still couldn't stop the little wizard's enthusiastic discussion.

During lunch break, they came to the laboratory, and Hermione was still questioning Professor McGonagall's decision.

"This kind of advanced transformation magic is too dangerous for young wizards, especially those who don't have the talent for Transfiguration and potions.

Professor McGonagall encouraged them like this, without considering the consequences of failure at all.

I mean, what if, what if someone really started this process and suffered physical or mental damage? They are likely to become half-human and half-beast. Will Hogwarts be responsible for treating them?"

Half-human and half-beast are the most dangerous problems, and there is no known solution in the wizarding world.

Compared to Hermione's worries, Ron and Harry were excited.

After asking around, they found that the little wizards with worse grades than them were ready to try.

Then they must try too. No matter what, they must be better than those poor students.

Lin Xia and Draco were very calm.

They did not think that they could not complete Animagus. Even if there were mistakes in the middle, they were confident that they could save it.

So putting aside Professor McGonagall's sudden encouragement and looking at the essence, it is not difficult to find that Professor McGonagall's original intention was to let the little wizard enhance a skill that can protect himself.

Lin Xia: "Hermione, do you still remember what Professor McGonagall said-at the critical moment, Animagus can help you through the crisis."

Hermione nodded: "Yes, I admit that this sentence makes sense, but-"

"But the key lies in this sentence." Lin Xia interrupted, "Why did Professor McGonagall emphasize this sentence?

Hermione was stunned.

Lin Xia said calmly: "My understanding is that Hogwarts will become more and more dangerous, not the danger of the school itself, but the danger brought by the crisis outside.

That's why Professor McGonagall couldn't wait to teach us advanced Transfiguration knowledge. If we really want to learn, she will definitely give us guidance. "

Lin Xia said deeply: "Hermione, now is different from the past.

In the past, students learned independently, took the initiative to seek higher-level knowledge, and discussed with professors.

But now, as higher-level knowledge is invaded by evil gods, every reading will face the risk of being contaminated, and even the school has to take the initiative to make restrictions.

This has led to a further decline in students' autonomy and initiative, and professors can only take the initiative to teach us the advanced knowledge they have learned in order to face the crisis that will come in the future. "

Others were silent.

Even if they think Hogwarts is still safe now, the things that happened one after another made them feel that a storm is coming.

"Well..." Ron broke the deadlock and said in an active manner: "My idea is that if Hogwarts is no longer safe, we also have a way out, that is, leaving school and returning home. "

Draco shook his head solemnly.

"Escape can't solve all problems. To be honest, if even Hogwarts is no longer safe, then the outside world will only be more dangerous."

He paused: "Unless you are willing to leave Britain."

Ron's mouth twitched, and he suddenly clapped his hands, "Hey, brother! Things haven't come to the worst moment, don't be so heavy, okay?"

Lin Xia smiled, her amber eyes were shining with broken gold, like a quiet lake, deep and distant.

"You're right, Ron, things haven't come to the worst moment."

She changed the subject: "So we have to add one more task next. In addition to practicing the Patronus Charm, we have to start trying Animagus. "

The defensive item Lin Xia prepared for them was a white candle that looked ordinary.

Harry and the others thought that this was another item that the school gave to Lin Xia to read banned books, but who knew that this was actually made by Lin Xia herself.

Lin Xia said: "When I was reading banned books, I studied burning candles.

Under the light of candles, the forbidden books I read were not affected by the whispers of the evil god, causing distortions and foreign objects.

I thought this candle was very useful, so I burned the remaining candles and started researching.

I found that when the candle burns, a faint layer of magic text will appear on the body surface. As the magic text continues to be consumed, the defensive effect of the candle will gradually decrease.

But don't worry, I specially strengthened the magic words in the candle so that it will be full of power until the last moment.

Lin Xia talked freely: "I call this modified candle [Glory Candle], what do you think?"

Harry and everyone else thought it was a great name.

Through the radiant candle, they are reminded of the bright flame they saw yesterday.

A name related to light makes people feel safe when they hear it.

Hermione couldn't help but ask: "Are these candles difficult to make?

I mean, I want it to be widely available and maybe give people a sense of security when reading. "

Lin Xia shook his head and nodded: "As long as you are proficient in 10 basic magic words, making candles is not difficult, but without any basic magic words, it is equivalent to making a heavenly book."

This is just a gadget she made casually, specially for her companions to use.

But after what Hermione said, Lin Xia suddenly realized that this kind of thing might also have promotion value.

Although the wizarding world has segregated forbidden books, it does not mean that other wizards do not keep forbidden books privately.

Especially the nobility.

Not every noble would listen to the Ministry of Magic and dispose of or hand over ancient and dangerous objects.

What's a pity is that she doesn't know the age and class of the wizards in the wizarding world who are disturbed by the evil gods' whispers.

If she could know this data, she might be able to create some targeted defensive items for circulation on the market.

Maybe you can reduce the risk of infestation.

at the same time.

The professors also held a professor meeting in a special space.

There were several issues discussed at this meeting, each of which was very special. All professors attended in real form, even Dumbledore came in phantom form.

The first problem is to deal with the strange objects in the school.

Ghosts and foreign objects are not scary in the early stage of cultivation and will only cause some small movements.

During the cultivation process, even if it is seen by the little wizard, it will not have a big impact.

Only when it is destroyed, the strange creature's dying roar will cause the little wizard to suffer mental damage.

The professor can minimize the risk by ensuring that the little wizard is not seen when destroying the strange objects.

Snape said coldly: "The formation of strange objects is very strange. Every student and professor who enters Hogwarts will be inspected by the magic text detection array.

If someone is carrying strange items, they will definitely be found out.

Since it had not been detected before, it was probably carried by outsiders who had unknowingly sneaked into Hogwarts.

Those filthy crawlers will never place just one weird object. I suggest that Hogwarts conduct a large search, even in the student dormitories! "

The other professors were silent for a while and voted one after another.

"pass!"

"Agree!"

"Second!" (End of this chapter)
