Hogwarts starts with stealing power

"I feel sad, but the weird thing is, I shouldn't feel so sad. I shouldn't feel pity for someone who hurt my parents, and his only redemption is to be locked up in Azkaban for the rest of his life!"

Harry sobbed, tears blurring his vision, the parchment still clutched tightly in his hands, showing black ink stains on the parchment.

Fortunately, the parchment is waterproof.

If it weren't for the overly sad expression on Harry's face, Hermione and Ron would have thought that Harry was extremely resentful towards the person who hurt his parents.

Although he was crying, the expression on his face looked ferocious.

Ron asked, "Harry, what do you see?"

Harry: "I saw the scene of my birth, my parents and Sirius Black standing together very warmly, my parents called Sirius my godfather, and the black dog..."

He lost himself in memories, "I had a vague sense of something before, but I wasn't sure. Now I can be sure that Sirius Black knows Animagus, which can transform into a big black dog.

I once encountered a big dog outside Hogwarts, when I was about to get on the bus. I also occasionally see big black dogs inside Hogwarts, and my prophecy is also related to black dogs. I think I can learn the truth from Sirius. "

Hermione and Ron looked at each other, and Hermione said calmly, "So, this proves one thing even more. We must find Sirius to know the truth of that year."

"But I heard from Professor McGonagall that the Ministry of Magic accused him of betraying my parents--" Harry turned pale and stammered.

"Harry, Professor McGonagall was not an eyewitness to the case, and I have previously read the Ministry of Magic's files on Sirius. The judgment at that court meeting was very sloppy. The judge declared Sirius guilty on the spot, but Sirius refused to admit it." Hermione said seriously.

Ron thought that her stern face at this moment made her look more like a judge than a judge.

Harry's body was shaky, his thoughts were divided into two parts, one of which was that Sirius was innocent and he was being wronged.

But another thought was saying: Face the reality! Everyone knows that it was Sirius who betrayed the Potters. You can't favor him just because he is the godfather appointed by your parents and turned into a black dog to make you happy when you were a child!

Hermione's voice came from a distance: "No matter what, our top priority is to find Sirius. Even if we have to send him back to Azkaban, we have to get to the bottom of it..."

"Harry, what's wrong with you? You look so pale!"

"Harry, wake up, Harry!"

-

"So, what's going on now?"

Lin Xia was doing experiments in her private laboratory when she suddenly received an emergency call from outside, so she hurried out.

She pushed up her lab goggles, her tone calm, which was Lin Xia's usual expression when she entered a state of concentration.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other. Hermione didn't say anything, so Ron had to bite the bullet and say, "We borrowed George and Fred's Marauder's Map and are going to explore Professor Babbling's office tonight."

Lin Xia looked at Harry who had fainted on the ground in silence. After a while, she said, "Did Harry's fainting have anything to do with entering Professor Babel's office?"

Hermione then said: "Yes, Harry seemed to have seen the scene when he was just born in the office. His parents had a good relationship with Sirius and made Sirius his godfather.

Harry saw this scene and didn't believe that Sirius would tell the mysterious man their location and eventually be killed. But before that, he saw Professor McGonagall's memory, and the professor always believed that it was Sirius who killed the Potters. "

Lin Xia said: "It's not a thought."

"Um?"

"It's not a belief, but a recognition that no matter what reason Sirius had for harming the Potters or being wrongly accused, at that time, none of his thoughts mattered."

Lin Xia said calmly: "At that time, all wizards were in a panic because of the mysterious man and urgently needed an outlet for their emotions. Harry, who was still in his infancy, killed the mysterious man. Afterwards, everyone settled the accounts and vented all their excitement on Black.

As if as long as they trampled on Blake, their pitiful and humble emotions of not daring to face the mysterious man could be forgiven -

Look, it’s not that I don’t want to face the You-Know-Who, but the Death Eaters under the You-Know-Who are so terrifying. They have personally carried out many terrorist attacks and are responsible for dozens of lives. "

Ron and Hermione couldn't stop nodding. They also felt that what Lin Xia said made sense.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Sirius is not yet a Death Eater. The Ministry of Magic has not found any Death Eater-related tattoos on him."

Lin Xia added: "But the Ministry of Magic also has an explanation for this. They said Sirius was a spy planted by the You-Know-Who in the Order of the Phoenix. He was very important, so he didn't have a Death Eater tattoo."

Hermione was very smart and figured it out in an instant. She looked a little excited: "Do you think this is wrong?"

Ron hadn't reacted yet and said blankly, "No? But I think this explanation is reasonable."

Hermione explained: "At that time, everyone was afraid of You-Know-Who. Even the Death Eaters were a little afraid. Crazy people are always a minority. Many people followed You-Know-Who because of his talent, but as the revolution became more and more crazy, some people gradually became afraid.

A big key to the mysterious man's control over the Death Eaters is the Death Eater tattoo. He can monitor wizards through the tattoos. As long as they have any disrespectful thoughts towards the mysterious man in their minds, they will be tortured.

Of course, the You-Know-Who has more than one way to strengthen his control over the Death Eaters, but the Death Eater tattoo is the most effective and direct way. As one of the most trusted people of the Potters, how can Sirius Black ensure that he will do things for the You-Know-Who?

Only by controlling Sirius Black, Black had to be an insider, so the lack of tattoos is the biggest flaw. "

Lin Xia nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I have always been skeptical about the reports back then.

Many generally accepted facts are not necessarily the truth, and we still have to meet Sirius Black. By the way, Ron."

Lin Xia looked at him: "Do you have spotted hair?"

Ron sighed, "I went back to the dormitory to look for it before, and found that all my clothes were free of Dappled's hair. It seems that he consciously prevents himself from shedding the hair."

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "Go ask your brother Percy, he might have some clues. If not, go ask your other two brothers."

Ron reluctantly agreed.

Lin Xia changed the subject and said with a smile, "I haven't asked you about your gains in Professor Babeling's office. How was it?"

"It was a great experience. I felt like I was looking into the Mirror of Erised, but the professor's office felt more real to me. I saw myself becoming a Gryffindor prefect!"

Ron couldn't wait to say it, his expression as if he had earned a lot of gold Galleons and was overjoyed.

“A lot of people greeted me, everyone was very friendly to me, and the professors valued me very much. I became very strong and was able to cope with many difficult things.

The most important thing is that it feels very real to me. It's not like the Mirror of Erised where you can only see your deepest desires through a mirror, but I am truly experiencing it.

If I hadn't been pushed out by a force, I would have wanted to stay in there forever!"

Hermione then spoke up: "What I saw was different from what Harry and Ron saw. I actually saw myself holding an important position in the Ministry of Magic. I was very busy every day and had to handle a lot of official business."

Ron said exaggeratedly: "You have such a bold dream!"

Hermione glared at him. "I don't think it's a dream. I'm very sure I have the ability to do this."

"So, you walked into the office together, but everyone experienced different scenes. You all experienced happiness and joy, but Harry..."

Lin Xia glanced at Harry who was still unconscious. "Since he saw the scene when he was just born, it should be happiness and warmth. It seems that you are lucky this time. The scene inside the opened door amplified the happy and joyful emotions, and also showed the desire deep in your heart."

She stressed: “Desire is different from desire, which is the difference between the scene in the office and the Mirror of Erised.

Desire is simply a strong pursuit of specific things or physiological needs, such as appetite, wealth, power, etc., driven by external environment or instinct.

But the desire is more related to the spiritual level, such as freedom, knowledge, self-realization, etc., reflecting higher values ​​​​or the pursuit of an ideal state.

The Mirror of Erised will only make you indulge in fantasy, but the scenes in the office can bring you positive feedback. "

Lin Xia paused and smiled, "Are you all full of energy now? Do you want to quickly realize the scene that appears in the office and achieve your higher pursuits?"

Ron nodded hurriedly: "You are absolutely right, that's exactly what I think!"

Hermione looked at herself and nodded, "You're right."

"So, is it time for you to do the experiment?" Ron felt that Lin Xia's smile suddenly became sinister, and she looked very much like Professor McGonagall.

No, that's not right, it should be more like Professor Snape!

If the experiment is not done at this time, it is hard to imagine what kind of hurtful words Lin Xia will utter.

Ron's face twitched and he said, "I'm going to do the experiment now."

As for Hermione, when Lin Xia mentioned this, she automatically and consciously walked into her own exclusive laboratory.

If she hadn't been worried about Harry and Ron, she would have been reviewing in the laboratory a long time ago, and might have been in the second round of review by now.

"Ron." When Ron was about to close the door, Lin Xia called him in a gentle voice.

"Although your brother Percy did not become an outstanding student, he was elected as the president of the student union, but I don't want you to follow his old path.

Percy is excellent in some aspects, but he is extremely behind the times in other aspects, which will lead him to make misjudgments at critical moments. The most terrifying thing about a person is not his lack of ambition, but his ignorance.

Because of ignorance, people often don't know how to choose, and they can't be sure whether the path they are taking is correct, so if you really want to become a prefect in the future, I hope you can do better than your brother and become an excellent student first, okay? "

Ron swallowed, more nervous than ever.

Although Lin Xia's tone was gentle, he felt it was a threat.

If she doesn't become an excellent student in this semester, there's no telling what Lin Xia will do in the next semester.

Ron shuddered: "I, I tried hard, but my talent in research..."

Lin Xia smiled slightly: "I remember that you are good at ancient magic literature. You can start with ancient magic literature and invent some interesting gadgets. Even if they are just some small prank props, they are inventions after all, right?"

Ron seemed to be enlightened, and suddenly realized, "Is it possible to do this..."

Lin Xia asked back: "Why can't this be done?"

She thought for a moment and said, "If you want to take the combat route, it's not impossible. You have a very special ability. The spell you chant is this, but the spell you cast is another. I think there is a lot of potential for development, and it will be a great advantage in combat."

Ron quickly shook his head: "No, I'd better study the ancient magic runes."

Let him fight?

Wouldn't that mean he would go on some dangerous missions?

This is not what he wants!

In comparison, it is more comfortable to stay in the laboratory and do research.

-

Ron walked into the laboratory and Lin Xia was about to return to her own laboratory when suddenly a painful groan was heard from the public hall. Harry woke up with his head covered.

He had a terrible headache, and whenever he recalled his past memories, he felt a stabbing pain throughout his body.

Lin Xia walked over and handed Harry a cold pill.

After taking it, Harry felt that his headache was much relieved and the discomfort in his body was also relieved. He said, "Your cold pill is more effective than those strange potions prescribed by Ms. Pang Lei."

Lin Xia nodded: "After Ms. Pang Lei took the medicine, she asked me about the price of bulk medicine. I said that the sales rights of the goods were given to Hogwarts, so she turned to Professor McGonagall.

I believe that soon the school clinic will be able to supply cold pills."

Harry didn't expect that what he said casually would actually happen, and said happily: "If the infirmary was full of potions or pills with normal smells like Lengwan, I wouldn't be so disgusted with the infirmary."

Lin Xia was embarrassed: "No normal person would want to go there, right?"

Those who go to the infirmary are either sick or injured, and the little wizards are not in good condition.

"Harry, you need to get enough rest now. Let go of the things that bother you too much. Wait until you are more sober before making a decision. I suggest you go back to the dormitory and rest."

Lin Xia didn't ask Harry what he found in Professor Babbling's office, which made Harry feel relieved. Although he knew that Hermione and Ron would tell Lin Xia everything, he didn't want to recall it again now.

Before Harry left, he asked casually, "By the way, I didn't see Ron and Hermione, did they go to review?"

Lin Xia: "Well, Hermione is busy reviewing, and Ron should be in the laboratory tinkering with his invention. He wants to invent something and try to apply for the title of Outstanding Student."

Harry: ?

Why does it feel like the world has changed when I woke up?

When did Ron become so diligent?

What on earth happened to him? ! (End of this chapter)
