Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Madam Pomfrey insisted that Harry stay in the hospital over the weekend.

Harry had nothing to lose, and he felt like he had nowhere to go anyway.

When he saw the scene in the crystal ball before, he did not expect that he would be attacked by a dementor. He only saw the big black dog.

But it is a pity that the black dog did appear, but was not caught by the friends.

Among them, there is a person whose figure is very suspicious.

"What did you say? Mikel also attacked the black dog with you. Did you please ask him?"

Lin Xia was not there when the big black dog appeared, so she didn't know what happened at the scene, and was very curious when she heard this.

Ron and Hermione immediately shook their heads: "No, the big black dog suddenly appeared in the first row of the stands. This was what you predicted. Who would believe this? We didn't tell anyone."

Draco frowned slightly, "That's strange, why is Mikel so hostile to the black dog?

I remember that his last attack on the black dog was supposed to be an attempt to pronounce the curse of 'shatter to pieces'. "

Draco was still very familiar with the curse of "Broken to Pieces".

This spell is a mid-to-high-level spell with strong offensive power, but it is not classified as black magic. It is very practical whether it is used for offense or for defense.

It's just that Mikel didn't tell everything about the curse, and Draco guessed the rest.

After all, in his impression, Mikel was very good at this spell.

Lin Xia made an interesting guess: "Could it be that Mikel also has the ability to predict? He divined in advance that a black dog would appear in the first row of stands.

The black dog might bring disaster to him, so he wanted to eliminate it in advance. "

Ron said in disbelief: "Isn't it possible? It's enough that Harry can see the future from the crystal ball, but then there's another Mikel?"

Lin Xia reminded him kindly: "With Mikel's current strength, why can't he see the prophecy?"

The others couldn't help but fell silent for a while.

Lin Xia was right about this.

In the past month, Mikel's performance has been very good. He has been able to catch up with Hermione, who is an excellent student, and even looks better than Hermione.

After all, the magic he usually uses is very difficult, and he can use it immediately.

But Hermione is obviously not as powerful as Mikel in transfiguration.

Lin Xia was far from the only one who had this guess. She continued: "If it is not for his own safety that he wants to eliminate the big black dog, then there is only one possibility. He can gain some kind of benefit by eliminating the black dog, or get what he wants. ”

Harry felt a sense of discomfort in his heart, as if something he cherished had been taken away by someone else.

"I don't think he has any reason to touch a black dog. When he took a divination class before, he was not told by the professor that he would encounter a black dog."

Harry vowed: "Maybe it was just an accident."

Lin Xia simply asked: "If you are very curious, why don't you ask him directly?"

"Harry, if you want to understand a problem, you must face the problem yourself to have a chance to solve it."

-

The little wizard left the school doctor's office, leaving Harry alone to rest.

Harry had rested, but the little wizard's questioning was not over.

At the moment of danger when Harry is surrounded by dementors.

Ron, Hermione, Draco, Mikel and Neville suddenly broke into the Quidditch field, and this incident was finally remembered by a thoughtful professor.

So after they left the school doctor's office, the little wizard immediately told them:

"Professor Snape is looking for you. Come over quickly. I see that his face looks very bad."

After the little wizard who tipped off the news left, Lin Xia turned to them and asked, "Have you been observed by Snape?"

Draco shook his head: "I don't know. I was just chasing the big black dog and didn't pay attention to the reaction in the stands. I just remember that the little wizard was panicking, afraid that Harry would fall."

Lin Xia understood: "The little wizard can't detect your movements, but that's not necessarily the case at the professor's level. Since Snape noticed your movements, McGonagall and Dumbledore must also know about them."

Ron asked anxiously: "Then what are we going to say?"

Lin Xia thought for a while and quickly came up with a solution: "Let's just say that Harry was once divined by Professor Trelawney, and the ominous thing he encountered was a black dog. When you saw the black dog, you thought that this dog was coming to harm you. Harry, that's why he attacked it."

Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Will Professor Snape believe it?"

Lin Xia smiled: "If he doesn't believe it, he can go to Professor Trelawney."

"By the way," she added: "You remember to cut ties with Mikel. You are Harry's friends, and you are willing to go through fire and water for your friends, but Mikel is not."

The little wizards looked at each other, a cunning light flashing in their eyes.

After Lin Xia separated from them, she went to the laboratory. She had an idea about a binding wand that she might be able to use.

But apparently even she couldn't escape questioning.

However, it was not the professor who asked her where she had been while she was away from the stands, but McGonagall who stopped her and asked her to teach her the steps to make the "Glory Candle".

"Glory Candle?" Lin Xia was very surprised.

How did Professor McGonagall know about the Glowing Candle? Could it be that the suitable candidate that Professor Babbling found was a professor at Hogwarts?

After arriving at Mag's office, Lin Xia's brows widened after the professor explained.

Sure enough, all the professors in the school received a task from Principal Dumbledore, requiring each professor to make a radiant candle and opening up some basic magic text knowledge to them.

Mag said calmly: "What we lack is not the knowledge of basic magic text, but the ability to make it by hand.

The making of magical objects may seem very similar to potions, but there are actually significant differences. Potions are a discipline that turns decay into magic, while the making of magical objects is related to alchemy.

Every item in alchemy is not simple. Basically no ordinary object can be made into a magical object. Every detail requires corresponding magical materials. "

Lin Xia nodded: "According to the ordinary alchemy magic item production process, this is indeed the case. Every detail must be participated by extraordinary creatures. But -"

She changed her words: "Although the radiant candle is a strange object, it does not follow the path of alchemy, but magic text.

As long as you understand and master the basic magic text, you can turn ordinary candles into radiant candles through a few magic text arrays. "

Mag looked at Lin Xia inquiringly: "Well, I'm looking for you about the magic text array.

I applied to my superiors and sent someone to teach and explain some of the magic text formations. Even if we understood the magic text, we still didn’t understand why it was structured in this way.

As a result, Dumbledore ordered me to come find you. He said that you are a leader in the research of magic text array. I was surprised when I saw your name, but I didn't know that you had such ability. "

She paused and asked in a very soft voice: "Lin Xia, are you the inventor of the radiant candle?"

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly.

This passage reveals several useful points of information.

First, Professor McGonagall doesn't know who invented the Glow Candle, and even they are guessing.

Second, Dumbledore must have intentionally revealed to the professor her important identity in the task of the radiant candle.

To be honest, she is not the only one at Hogwarts who has studied magic texts.

The most authoritative among them is Professor Babuling. She is also the only professor of the ancient magic language in the school.

There have been many successful students taught by Babuling in the past few decades.

Even if they are not in Hogwarts, they can still enter Hogwarts for a period of time and be responsible for teaching the professors to understand that there is no need to use her as a student.

She also has studies to do and topics to research, so she doesn't have enough time.

Just from Mag's answer, Lin Xia keenly felt that there were two forces pulling on this matter.

One part wanted to hide her identity, and the other part wanted to push her slightly into front of others.

Lin Xia said without changing her face: "No, but I also received the task of making a radiant candle, and I have done some research on the magic text array on the candle, so I understand it so clearly."

Professor McGonagall seemed to accept this explanation.

"Without further ado, are you free now? Give me a lesson."

Lin Xia agreed happily, "Of course, I am very happy to be able to help the professor."

Lin Xia easily passed the test on Mag's side, but Snape was not so easy to fool.

McGonagall had no intention of going into details, but Snape was different. Once he was interested, he had the temperament to ask everything about the matter.

Especially when it comes to Harry, he seems even more sensitive, like a snake king in a violent phase.

"So you just thought this black dog appeared unexpectedly, so you attacked it and even rushed into the Quidditch field where the game was being played."

Snape's voice was calm, revealing a sense of indifference and deep arrogance.

He told the little wizard with his expression that he didn't believe this reason at all!

Hermione plucked up the courage and said: "We are too worried about Harry, after all, the black dog is his bad luck and may bring him death.

Professor Trelawney had already publicly stated this in the Divination class. In our first Divination class, he made such a prediction to Harry, and all the students heard it. "

"Trelawney's prophecy?" Snape said mockingly, "How come I didn't know that Miss Granger, who always considers herself smart and confident, would really believe the prophecy of a liar."

"It seems that I overestimated you, Granger, and you are no more than that."

Hermione's face turned red. She was not afraid of Snape's verbal contempt, but she extremely hated others' personal insults to her.

Snape's words were like a slap in the face, and her face was burning. This was mental damage.

This is far more profound than the physical pain.

Especially what she said was indeed not her usual style.

In a wordless silence, Snape suddenly changed direction and stared at Mikel coldly: "What about you? Why did you attack that black dog again?"

There was already a ready excuse. Mikel opened his mouth and was about to repeat Hermione's reason again.

But Snape seemed to have guessed his thoughts in advance and interrupted without thinking: "Don't fool me with perfunctory reasons. You and Harry don't have such a deep friendship at all!"

Snape said calmly: "I can barely understand that they would do stupid things for Harry. After all, Gryffindors are a bunch of brainless fools.

But Mikel, you are not this kind of person, you have the potential of an excellent student. "

He paused and said meaningfully: "The latest round of outstanding student selection is about to begin. If you are really so stupid, I have to evaluate whether you can become an outstanding student.

At least an outstanding student can make correct judgments, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and will not attack people or things for no reason. "

Mikel tried to pretend to be calm, but in fact his heart was beating a few beats faster.

He was a little nervous and subconsciously called the system frantically in his mind.

But the system is starting to fail again!

It seemed that every time he faced a relatively powerful and famous person in Hogwarts, the system would not easily have a conversation with him in his mind.

——Is it very likely that these professors will be aware of the existence of the system?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to deal with Snape first.

"Professor," he said calmly, "I sensed danger from that black dog. I call this ability 'danger warning'.

If I don't eliminate it, I will most likely be hurt by it in the future, my intuition tells me so. "

"Danger warning?"

Snape said word by word, his tone slowing down, as if he was thinking about something.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and didn't know what he thought of. He didn't study it in detail, but looked at Mikel meaningfully.

"I hope your ability is really useful and does not suddenly malfunction. I think I should know how to arrange your outstanding student assessment tasks."

Everyone walked out of Snape's office and breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere just now was really suffocating.

Communicating with Snape face to face makes you feel the pressure he brings even more.

Ron stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, sweat had broken out, and he said to Hermione and Draco with lingering fear:

"It seems like this is the first time I've been so close to him. In the past, he only stood behind me in Potions class, and I wasn't so stressed."

Draco said calmly: "Ron, as long as you don't feel so guilty, Professor Snape is not scary. We are just stating a fact."

When he said this, he looked at Mikel specifically and asked with interest:

"It's you, when did you awaken the 'danger warning' characteristic? This is definitely a very good ability."

Mikel: "I don't know, I just had a premonition when I saw the big black dog."

Hermione: "That big black dog looks very smart and seems to have magic."

Draco discussed with Hermione: "No, it's more like it has a defensive item on it."

Mikel approached Ron calmly. He thought it was strange that these people suddenly attacked the black dog.

This scene has never appeared in either the movie or the original novel.

"Ron, how did you find that big black dog?" He changed his angle and spoke in a cryptic manner.

In his impression, only Harry noticed the existence of the big black dog, and no one else saw it at all.

That's why the black dog was able to escape so smoothly. He was sure that no one would notice, so he took a look at Harry. (End of chapter)
