Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Dumbledore did not comment.

In his eyes, some people are bad by nature, so he has been examining and observing Tom since he brought him to Hogwarts.

He noticed the cruel nature of this child from the beginning.

What he regretted was that he let Tom go and did not destroy him in time, and he softened his heart when he defended himself again and again.

Because of his momentary softness, there was the big devil "Voldemort" later.

But in Babel's eyes.

She also believed that the reason why Tom Riddle became like this was the result of Dumbledore's failure to intervene in time.

It was because Dumbledore did not guide him well when he was in office that he went astray.

One is more inclined to solve directly, and the other is more inclined to pay patience to guide. Everyone's ideas are fundamentally different.

If Lin Xia were here, she would find that the fundamental difference in their thoughts is that one believes that human nature is evil, and the other believes that human nature is good.

These theories and concepts have been argued for thousands of years in her previous life without any debate, even at the end of the world, they have been arguing.

In the wizarding world, it is even more of an unsolvable problem.

Things have developed to this point, and regretting not correcting them in time is useless.

People still have to look forward after all.

Babling snapped her fingers, and her figure immediately disappeared from the top floor of the Ministry of Magic.

Whether she came in or left, she did not alarm anyone in the Ministry of Magic.

Except for Dumbledore, no one in the Ministry of Magic noticed that there was any great existence that had descended on the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore looked down at his desk, where there was a piece of white paper with 10 basic magic runes written on it.

His azure eyes were deep, and he stared at the 10 basic magic runes for a while.

Then he waved his hand and put the paper into his own space.

The next second, Dumbledore also disappeared in the Ministry of Magic.

He used Apparition to directly come to the outside of the Researchers' Association.

Others did not know the specific address of the association, but this was not a difficult task for Dumbledore.

Others have to go through a certain ritual to open the passage to the association, but Dumbledore can go directly to the outside of the association.

He did not go through any conversion ritual, but just stood outside the door of the Researchers' Association, and the door opened automatically for him.

Dumbledore wanted to use the Sage's Eye here to find out the role of the Brilliant Candle and the impact of the spread of the 10 basic magic words on the wizarding world.

Because the Sage's Eye is used for research and analysis, the information it gives is based on rational and objective analysis.

To be honest, this kind of analysis is a bit like big data analysis, which is far more accurate than mysterious prophecies.

Therefore, the analysis report given by the Sage's Eye is often considered an important reference by wizards.

To a certain extent, the Sage's Eye can glimpse the development direction of future things.

Only Dumbledore knows what kind of evaluation the Sage's Eye gave to this promotion.

He mobilized many resources of the Researchers' Association, resulting in no researcher being able to access the Sage's Eye on this day.

On the other side, here at Hogwarts.

Harry and Ron tried their best to finally catch the frantically fleeing Scabbers.

How could this mouse be so human-like and cunning?

When he was ignored, it would often hang around in front of the little wizard.

When he was needed, it would always detect it accurately and escape one step ahead.

This time, as soon as Ron and Harry returned to the dormitory, Scabbers, who was lying on Ron's bed, jumped up quickly and tried to run outside.

Fortunately, Ron and Harry had already cast an interception spell to stop Scabbers.

Even so, they still used some attack magic and accidentally knocked Scabbers unconscious before they could bring him here.

Originally, Harry didn't think Scabbers was smart, but after a very difficult round-up, Harry couldn't help but say to Ron:

"Now I think your mouse is not simple. Don't you find it smarter than other mice?

And it ran away as soon as it saw us, as if it knew we were going to catch it!"

Ron said half-doubtfully: "Well, it's a bit weird.

Scabbers usually doesn't react so much. It often plays in my palm. I don't know what's wrong with it today. Does it know that it's going to be in trouble?"

He said the last sentence in a joke.

Harry said: "But it can't sense that we have no ill will towards it. At least we just want to observe it, not dissect it."

After putting Scabbers into the cage prepared in advance and covering Scabbers' eyes with a white cloth, they carried Scabbers to the laboratory.

"Harry, Ron!"

Neville and Mikel met them and greeted them.

Mikel stared at the mouse in the cage with a frown on his face, and asked in doubt: "What are you doing?"

Neville also misunderstood after seeing this, and said in horror: "Do you want to kill the mouse?"

Ron shook his head quickly and held the cage in his arms: "This is my pet, how could I do this? I just took it for a checkup!"

Mikel said gloomily: "Why do you suddenly want to get a checkup?"

Ron: "I think it's very smart, maybe it's some kind of magical creature that hasn't been discovered yet. It's a brand new species."

Mikel threw cold water and said: "Don't be so clever. If it is a brand new magical creature, so many professors here have seen it, why can't they notice it?"

Harry stopped Ron who was about to get angry and asked: "Well, Mikel, what kind of creature do you think this mouse is?"

Harry continued: "You said it is not a magical creature. Is there any way to prove it?"

Mikel looked at them deeply and shook his head: "I don't know."

After enrolling in Hogwarts, the plot line has changed. The Hogwarts here is not at all like the one described in the books, nor does it match the one described in the movies.

To be honest, this wizarding world has been transformed by magic.

Not to mention Voldemort, there is actually a world of evil gods that I have never heard of. Students will be disturbed by the evil gods' ravings when reading forbidden books.

If it weren't for his sudden rise this month and his excellent grades, he wouldn't have been able to get this information!

Because the plot line has changed a lot, Mikel is not sure whether the mouse Scabbers will reveal his whereabouts in advance.

Mikel had many thoughts in just a few seconds, and finally chose to ignore it. His purpose was not to expose Banban anyway.

However, if the spotted Animagus came into contact, he wouldn't mind making up for it to see if he could obtain one of Peter Pettigrew's innate abilities.

As a Death Eater who has been living for so many years, what Mikel covets most is his talent for transformation.

Not any wizard, after becoming an Animagus for more than ten years, can still change back to human form whenever he wants. Peter Pettigrew is very outstanding in his talent for transformation.

Mikel said: "Harry, have you seen a big black dog recently?"

He asked suddenly.

Harry was stunned and shook his head: "No more."

Mikel said: "Harry, do you remember the death prophecy Professor Trelawney gave you?

She said she saw something ominous in you, and that ominous thing was a big black dog. I think the professor's prediction might be wrong.

Seeing a big black dog will not make you die. It is just that a big black dog may be accompanied by some smell of death, but it will not make you die either. "

Harry didn't understand why Mikel suddenly changed the topic. They were obviously talking about mice one second, but why did they jump to the big black dog the next second?

Harry replied: "Whether it's death or not, I don't want to see the big black dog again. This is the safest thing."

He asked back: "Mikel, do you want me to see these words, or do you not want me to see them?"

Mikel didn't speak for a while, and only said: "Harry, I just want to care about you."

Harry responded unceremoniously: "Unfortunately, I don't need your useless concern."

Harry and Ron quickly passed by Mikel and Neville.

Ron bumped Harry's shoulder slightly. He was still holding the cage in his arms, protecting it tightly.

Ron asked quietly: "Harry, were you angry just now?"

Harry replied quickly: "No."

He didn't know what to tell his partner, and when he noticed Mikel's disapproving attitude towards the big black dog, he was actually a little angry.

Even Harry didn't know why he suddenly became sulky.

-

When they arrived at the laboratory, Hermione was already there with her Crookshanks.

Crookshanks has a very strong body, which makes people feel very stressed when looking at it. It seems that one of its jumps can cause the effect of "Tarzan overwhelming the top".

In front of Crookshanks, five cages containing rats were placed.

Three of the mice are pets. They eat the magic feed provided by their owners and never go outside to steal anything.

The other two mice were specially requested by Lin Xia from the kitchen.

The elf had to clean up a batch of mice hiding in the kitchen every day, and enthusiastically gave dozens of them to Lin Xia, saying that there were not enough.

Lin Xia rejected their kindness and only took two.

Before Harry and Ron arrived, Lin Xia had already given Crookshanks a round of tests.

There were good rats and bad rats here. Crookshanks just glanced at the cage with the bad rats.

Hermione said proudly: "I just said Crookshanks is smart!"

Lin Xia noticed that Crookshanks showed a certain desire to destroy these bad rats and wanted to crush them under his claws.

After Ron came in, he let go of his protective hand. When Crookshanks saw Scabbers in the cage, he suddenly showed full aggression and jumped in front of Scabbers' cage in a few seconds.

The sharp claws showed a cold light, as fast as lightning!

It wants to kill Banban!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ron quickly turned around and protected the cage.

He said with a look of horror: "Stop it quickly, it wants to kill my Banban!"

Lin Xia looked at Crookshanks and suddenly said: "Stop!"

Crookshanks seemed to understand what she said, and actually stopped for a second.

Lin Xia looked into Crookshanks' eyes and said softly: "You can tell me some information, why do you always chase this mouse?"

Crookshanks stared at Lin Xia and suddenly called "meow meow meow" several times.

This scene was very strange to watch, Lin Xia acted as if he could communicate with Crookshanks!

Ron asked: "What is Lin Xia doing?"

Harry shook his head: "I don't know, but she seems to be communicating with Crookshanks."

Hermione: "My Crookshanks is very smart. It can read itself and occasionally points to a line of words in a book to talk to me, but I never knew it could communicate with people."

Only Draco looked calm.

From childhood to adulthood, he grew up under the blows of Lin Xia.

Now that someone has discovered Lin Xia's excellence, Draco actually feels relieved--

Finally, he is not the only one suffering!

Draco said: "Lin Xia has a talent for communicating with animals, which she showed when she was young. As long as she looks at animals, she can often know what they are thinking.

Animals can also hear Lin Xia's thoughts. Sometimes when we get lost in the forest, Lin Xia will ask animals to show us the way."

Ron: "Why did you run to the forest for no reason? Aren't the adults around?"

Draco: "My back garden is a forest. We often played in the forest when we were young."

Other little wizards: ...

I almost forgot that Draco's Malfoy family is a veritable aristocracy in the wizarding world, with countless assets.

Lin Xia is communicating with Crookshanks.

"Why are you so obsessed with this mouse?"

"It's not a mouse at all!"

"Who is it then?"

"It's an evil wizard, it disguises itself as a mouse to do bad things!"

"How do you know it's an evil wizard?"

"I can feel it just by smelling it, he's the worst, the worst person I've ever seen!"

Lin Xia ended the communication, took out a cat strip from the traceless telescopic ring and handed it to Hermione, Hermione unwrapped the cat strip and fed it to Crookshanks.

Lin Xia looked at Ban Ban in the cage, silently cast a tracking spell on it, and then cast an isolation spell so that Ban Ban could not feel any magical fluctuations.

Although Ban Ban seemed to be in a coma now, who knew it was fake.

Lin Xia took out a huge box full of forbidden magic words.

"Ron, put Ban Ban in the box."

Just as Ron was about to move, Lin Xia suddenly waved her wand and cast a spell on Ban Ban——

"Fainted!"

Ban Ban's fainting expression did not change at all.

Ron didn't understand what was going on, so he grabbed Scabbers and put him in the box.

After Lin Xia closed the box, she took out the Marauder's Map that she had borrowed from the twins.

Lin Xia first told them what she had heard.

"Don't be nervous, and don't make a fuss. This is one of my abilities, which allows me to communicate with animals."

The others nodded, indicating that they were emotionally stable and could accept it.

Lin Xia continued, "Crookshanks told me that this is not a mouse, but a wizard! A very evil wizard, the most evil person it has ever seen!" (End of this chapter)
